[Mode for Carrying Out the Invention]

[0009] Hereinafter, the mode for carrying out the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0010] [Overview of Child Seat Cover] The overview of the child seat cover 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2.

[0011] Figure 1 is a diagram showing an example of the child seat cover 1 provided for the child seat 200 of the bicycle 100. Figure 2 is a diagram showing an example of the bicycle 100 and the child seat 200.

[0012] The child seat cover 1 is provided for the child seat 200 that is attached to the bicycle 100.

[0013] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, the bicycle 100 includes, for example, a front wheel 110, a rear wheel 120, a main body frame 130, a handlebar 140, a saddle 150, a drive mechanism portion 160, pedals 170, and a front basket 180.

[0014] For example, the bicycle 100 is a conventional bicycle that operates only by human power transmitted by the user to the drive mechanism portion 160 via the pedals 170. The bicycle 100 may also be an electrically assisted bicycle.

[0015] The child seat 200 is a dedicated child seat provided for children such as infants and young children to sit on.

[0016] For example, as shown in Figure 2, the child seat 200 is attached to the main frame 130 of the bicycle 100 by a known method so that it is positioned in front of the saddle 150 and behind the handlebars 140 on the bicycle 100.

[0017] The child seat 200 includes, for example, a seat portion 210 on which the child sits, a backrest portion 220 that supports the back of the child sitting on the seat portion 210 from behind, and a footrest portion 230 that supports the feet of the child sitting on the seat portion 210 from below.

[0018] Child seat cover 1 protects the child seat 200, which is attached to the bicycle 100, from the effects of the surrounding environment such as rain, wind, dust, and ultraviolet rays by covering the child seat 200.

[0019] For example, the child seat cover 1 is primarily constructed from materials with relatively high water resistance, dust resistance, and UV protection properties. Specifically, for example, the child seat cover 1 uses polyester fiber fabric as the material for the parts that are exposed to the outside.

[0020] [Details of the child seat cover] In addition to Figures 1 and 2, the details of the child seat cover 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 3 to 9.

[0021] Figures 3 and 4 show an example of a child seat cover 1 attached to a child seat 200 of a bicycle 100. Figures 5 and 6 show an example of the roof portion 10 of the child seat cover 1 attached to a child seat 200 of a bicycle 100. Figures 7 and 8 show an example of the attachment structure of the child seat cover 1 to the child seat 200. Figure 9 shows an example of the storage portion 50 of the child seat cover 1.

[0022] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the child seat cover 1 includes a roof portion 10 and a skirt portion 20.

[0023] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the roof section 10 includes a roof body section 12 and a roof base section 14.

[0024] The roof body 12 is positioned to cover the top of the child seat 200. The roof body 12 is provided with a light-transmitting section 12A. This allows the roof body 12 to protect the head of the child seated in the child seat while ensuring sufficient brightness around the head. The light-transmitting section 12A is formed from, for example, a transparent material made of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride).

[0025] The roof base 14 is attached to the rear of the main roof section 12. The roof base 14 is attached to the backrest 220 of the child seat 200. In this way, the roof section 10 is fixed to the child seat 200.

[0026] For example, as shown in Figures 6 to 8, the roof base 14 is fixed to the backrest 220 of the child seat 200 from the rear by a belt 30 and a buckle 40, using the holes for inserting the seat belt provided in the backrest 220 of the child seat 200.

[0027] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 8, a hook-and-loop fastener 14A is provided on the rear surface of the roof base 14. For example, as shown in Figure 9, a removable storage compartment 50 is attached to the rear surface of the roof base 14 using the hook-and-loop fastener 14A. This allows the user of the bicycle 100 to store their belongings in the storage compartment 50.

[0028] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the skirt portion 20 can cover the front and sides of the child seat 200, as well as the upper opening, front, and sides of the front basket 100. Furthermore, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, for example, the skirt portion 20 is detachable from the roof portion 10.

[0029] The skirt portion 20 includes the upper part of the skirt 22 and the lower part of the skirt 24.

[0030] The upper part of the skirt 22 is connected to the roof section 10 and is provided in a predetermined area near the height of a child's face when seated in the child seat. The upper part of the skirt 22 is formed from, for example, a transparent PVC material. This allows a child seated in the child seat 200 to see the outside of the child seat cover 1 from the inside of the child seat cover 1 through the transparent material of the upper part of the skirt 22.

[0031] The lower part of the skirt 24 is connected to the lower part of the skirt 22. The lower part of the skirt 24 includes the rear part of the skirt 24A and the front part of the skirt 24B.

[0032] The rear skirt 24A covers the sides of the lower part of the child seat 200. In addition to covering the sides of the lower part of the child seat 200, the rear skirt 24A may also be formed to cover the rear of the lower part of the child seat 200.

[0033] The front skirt portion 24B covers the area in front of the handlebars 140, as well as the upper opening, front, and sides of the front basket 180. This prevents the contents of the front basket 80, such as the user's belongings stored in the front basket 180, from flying out while the bicycle 100 is in motion. The front skirt portion 24B also protects the contents of the front basket 180 from the effects of the surrounding environment, such as rain, wind, dust, and ultraviolet rays.

[0034] A non-connecting portion 24C is provided between the rear portion 24A of the skirt and the front portion 24B of the skirt. This allows the child seat cover 1 to expose the handle portion of the handle 140 to the outside through the non-connecting portion 24C. Therefore, even when the front basket 180 is covered by the front portion 24B of the skirt, the user of the bicycle 100 can grip the handle 140 and ride the bicycle 100.

[0035] Furthermore, the front part 24B of the skirt is provided with a retaining part 24B1 that maintains the positional relationship with the front basket 180. For example, as shown in Figure 4, the retaining part 24B1 is a string-like elastic member (e.g., a rubber band) provided around the entire circumference or a part of the entire circumference of the outer edge of the lower end opening of the front part 24B of the skirt. As a result, the retaining part 24B1 is maintained in a tightened state by the string-like elastic member, thereby holding the front basket 180 from below in a way that wraps around it, and as a result, the positional relationship between the front part 24B of the skirt and the front basket 180 can be maintained.

[0036] [Other embodiments] Other embodiments will be described.

[0037] The embodiments described above may be modified or altered as appropriate. Hereinafter, examples of modifications or alterations to the embodiments described above will be referred to as "modified examples" for convenience.

[0038] For example, in the above-described embodiment, the front part of the skirt 24B may be formed to cover only the upper opening of the front basket 180, as well as a portion of the sides and front, or it may be formed to cover only the upper opening of the front basket 180.

[0039] Furthermore, in the embodiments and their modifications described above, the retaining portion 24B1 may be a combination of a drawstring and a cord stopper provided around the entire circumference of the outer edge of the lower end opening of the front portion 24B of the skirt. Alternatively, the retaining portion 24B1 may be, for example, a hook member provided on the front portion 24B of the skirt for attaching to the front basket 180.

[0040] [Effect] The operation of the bicycle child seat cover according to this embodiment will be explained.

[0041] In a first aspect of this embodiment, a bicycle child seat cover is provided that can cover a child seat mounted in front of the saddle of a bicycle, and also cover the upper opening of a basket provided in front of the handlebars of the bicycle. The bicycle child seat cover is, for example, the child seat cover 1 described above. The bicycle is, for example, the bicycle 100 described above. The saddle is, for example, the saddle 150 described above. The child seat is, for example, the child seat 200 described above. The handlebars are, for example, the handlebars 140 described above. The basket is, for example, the front basket 180 described above.

[0042] As a result, the child seat cover can protect not only the child sitting in the child seat, but also, for example, the user's belongings stored in the basket, from rain, wind, dust, ultraviolet rays, etc.

[0043] Furthermore, in a second aspect of this embodiment, based on the first aspect described above, the bicycle child seat cover may include a first cover portion that covers the front and sides of the child seat, and a second cover portion connected to the first cover portion that covers the upper opening and the front and sides of the basket. The first cover portion is, for example, the upper skirt portion 22 and the rear skirt portion 24A described above. The second cover portion is the front skirt portion 24B.

[0044] As a result, the child seat cover can protect not only the child sitting in the child seat, but also, for example, the user's belongings stored in the basket, from rain, wind, dust, ultraviolet rays, etc.

[0045] Furthermore, in a third aspect of this embodiment, based on the second aspect described above, an unconnected portion may be provided on the side of the child seat cover between the first cover portion and the second cover portion. The unconnected portion is, for example, the unconnected portion 24C described above. The handle portion of the handle may be exposed to the outside of the first cover portion through the unconnected portion.

[0046] This allows the bicycle child seat cover to cover the basket with the second cover section while exposing the handlebars to the outside, allowing the user to grip the handlebars. In other words, the bicycle child seat cover, with the second cover section, covers the basket in front of the handlebars while exposing the handlebars to the outside, allowing the user to grip the handlebars and steer the bicycle.

[0047] Furthermore, in a fourth aspect of this embodiment, a retaining portion is provided to maintain the positional relationship between the second cover portion and the basket, based on any one of the first to third aspects described above. The retaining portion is, for example, the retaining portion 24B1 described above.

[0048] This prevents situations where, for example, the second cover portion of the bicycle child seat becomes dislodged from covering the upper opening of the basket while the bicycle is in motion, resulting in the contents of the basket not being properly protected or the contents being ejected from the upper opening of the basket.

[0049] Furthermore, in a fifth aspect of this embodiment, based on the fourth aspect described above, the holding portion may be a string-like elastic member provided around the entire circumference or a part of the entire circumference of the outer edge of the lower end opening of the second cover portion. The string-like elastic member is, for example, a rubber band.

[0050] This allows the bicycle child seat to maintain the relative position of the second cover and the basket.

[0051] While the forms for implementing this disclosure have been described in detail above, this disclosure is not limited to such specific embodiments, and various modifications and changes are possible within the scope of the gist of this disclosure as described in the claims.
