The amount of protrusion of the bracket 13 toward the front is set so as not to protrude from the flat surface portion of the fixture 11. The support 1
The distance from the mounting hole 19 of 5 to the rear side of the support 15 is set to be equal to or shorter than the depth of the groove 4. This keeps the space between the pet cage 1 and the passenger as large as possible,
This is to prevent the pet cage 1 from obstructing the pedal drive of the passenger.

Further, the lower end of the front face portion 3 is located below the handle post 23 and above the upper pipe 24 on the head pipe 25.
In order to prevent the degree of freedom of rotation of the handle from being adversely affected by coming into contact with and abutting against the contact portion, the abutment portion 5 that abuts the handle post 23 is provided between the recessed portions of the groove portion 4, so that the front surface portion 3 The lower end of the is slightly raised to prevent contact with the upper headset 24.

As shown in FIG. 4, the inner bag 26 to be inserted into the pet basket 1 as shown in FIG. 1 has a cross-sectional shape that matches the inner surface of the pet basket 1, and the rear portion is a semi-circular arc. The front portion is formed in a shape and is flat, and a groove 27 is formed in the longitudinal direction at the center of the front portion. As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4C, the height of the inner bag 26 is the height of the body portion 2 of the pet basket 1 plus the length of the folded portion 33. A rubber cord is internally provided on the upper side of the inner bag 26, and when the folded-back portion 33 is folded back to the upper side of the pet cage 1, it is particularly engaged with the protruding portion 6 of the pet cage 1 firmly.

As shown in FIGS. 4 (b) and 4 (d), sponge bottom plates 35 and 36 made of an elastic material such as a sponge material can be inserted into and removed from the bottom of the inner bag 26. It is installed in. As shown in FIG. 4 (c), a concave cutout 37 is provided in the bottom plate 36 made of sponge in accordance with the inner bag 36 having the groove 27 reaching the bottom. The inner bag 26 is provided with ventilation holes 34 at appropriate places, thereby improving the ventilation of the inside. . The material of the inner bag is quilted cloth in this embodiment. Any material can be used as long as it is flexible.

A collar having a plane male fastener 29 and a plane female fastener 30 is provided on an arbitrary portion of the upper portion of the inner bag 26, in the present embodiment, on the front face side, and the collar is engaged with the neck of the pet to run. I try to prevent the pet dog from jumping out. Further, shoulder belts 31 and buckles 32 are provided on both upper side surfaces of the inner bag 26,
When you get off the bicycle and leave
The pet is removed and the shoulder belt is hung on the shoulder to go out.

A method for attaching the pet cage 1 having the above-described configuration to a bicycle and a method for inserting the inner bag 26 into the pet cage 1 will be described.

The support 15 is clamped and fixed to the handlebar 22 of the bicycle by the clamp 16, and the holding plate 20 is slid forward to expose the mounting hole 19. The hook-like bracket 13 provided on the attachment 11 fixed to the front surface 3 of the pet cage 1 with the screw 14 is inserted into the attachment hole 19 provided at the rear portion of the support 15, and the pressing plate 20 is attached. It is slid to the rear of the handle and the thumbscrew 21 is tightened and fixed to prevent the bracket 13 from moving upward and coming off.
At this time, the groove portion 4 provided on the front surface portion 3 of the pet basket 1 is
The outer peripheral surface of the handle post 23 is surrounded.
When the handle post 23 is short and the lower end of the pet basket 1 comes into contact with or comes into contact with the upper headset 24 and it is difficult to operate the handle, the abutting portion 5 provided in the groove 4 of the front face portion 3 is provided.
The pet basket 1 having the above is used. By using the pet basket 1, the abutment portion 5 erected on the lower end portion of the pet basket 1 hits the handle post 23 above the upper headset 24, and the lower end portion of the pet basket 1 floats up behind the handle and is lifted. As a result, the contact or contact with the upper headset 24 can be avoided, and the hindrance to the handle operation can be avoided.

Next, a method of attaching the inner bag 26 to the pet basket 1 as shown in FIG. 1 will be described. The inner bag 26 is a bag formed by a cloth or a synthetic resin sheet so as to be inserted into the pet basket 1 and cover the entire inner surface of the pet basket 1. This inner bag 2
6 is a shape that follows the inner surface shape of the pet basket 1, and is set to be longer than the vertical height of the body portion 2 of the pet basket 1. Inner bag 26
The folded-back portion 33 of the upper end of the pet basket 1 rides over the body holding frame of the pet basket 1 and is hooked on the protruding portion 6 provided at the upper end of the front surface portion 3 so as to be folded back and locked to be fixed. FIG. 5 shows how the inner bag 26 is attached to the pet basket 1. As shown in FIG. 4, sponge bottom plates 35 and 36, which are cushion materials made of elastic material, are inserted and fixed to the bottom of the inner bag 26.

Then, the pet is housed in the inner bag 26 of the pet basket 1 thus set, the collar 28 connected to the inner bag 26 is attached to the pet, and the pet is safely transported to the destination by bicycle.

The inner bag 26 has a shoulder belt 31.
Since the buckle 32 for attaching is attached,
Even if the occupant goes to the destination by bicycle and walks to another place, the occupant can carry the pet in the inner bag 26 like a shoulder bag.

[0029]

As described above, the bicycle pet basket of the present invention has many excellent effects described below. That is, the pet cage can be easily attached to and detached from the bicycle because it can be integrated with the bicycle simply by inserting the bracket of the fixture provided on the front portion of the pet cage into the support attached to the handlebar. Since the protruding part is provided on the upper end of the front part of the pet basket, the inner bag can be securely attached and fixed.
Since it can be used as a pet footrest, it can be transported in a stable condition. By attaching the pet cage to the front of the occupant's body with the rear part of the handle, the pet can be seen up close and the pet can be held up depending on the situation. The inner bag can be detached from the inner surface of the pet basket, and the pet can be carried as a single bag while accommodating the pet.
