Description

  The present invention relates to a rain avoidance cover device for newspaper delivery for protecting newspapers loaded on a load carrier from rainwater in rainy weather when delivering newspapers using a motorcycle or a tricycle.

  As this type of rain-preventing cover device for newspaper delivery, a box-shaped device that is installed on a carrier such as a motorcycle has been proposed. Patent Documents 1 and 2 are examples of such devices.

  The device disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a box-shaped newspaper delivery rainwater / rainwater prevention device used by being mounted and fixed on a rear cargo bed such as a bicycle, a normal motorcycle, or a small motorcycle. Each side frame that forms the four sides is assembled in multiple stages so that it can slide up and down according to the amount of newspaper loaded on the loading platform, and the lower opening covers the newspaper on the loading platform. It is fixed to the loading platform of the vehicle, and the upper opening side is hinged with a waterproof lid that can be opened and closed during newspaper loading, and either the left or right side frame plate corresponding to the dominant hand of the delivery driver It is a rainwater prevention apparatus for newspaper delivery in which the lowermost step part is slid upward to be able to take out newspaper inside.

  If this apparatus is used, the newspaper can be transported without getting wet in the rain, and the delivery can be quickly taken out at the delivery destination. In addition, when it is not used in fine weather, it can be folded to make it compact. However, even though this device can be folded and reduced in size, the motorcycle or the like usually does not have a space for storing it. Therefore, it is not suitable as a means to be used in an emergency such as when it starts to rain during newspaper delivery.

  The apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 2 forms a newspaper delivery frame for placing and fixing a delivery newspaper on a predetermined loading platform, and covers the newspaper stored in the frame together with the frame. It is a carrier cover, and forms a substantially box-shaped cover body that covers from above the frame body, and forms an opening that opens rectangularly around the entire periphery except for a part of the side of the cover body above the rear end. The newspaper delivery bed cover is provided with a lid that opens and closes the opening with a plurality of fasteners with pullers.

  If this apparatus is also used, it is possible to transport the newspaper without getting wet even in rainy weather, and the delivery destination can open the opening with a zipper and pull out the newspaper from the apparatus. Therefore, there is an advantage that the newspaper is hardly wetted during delivery. On the other hand, this device is not necessary in fine weather, but there is no space to store it in a motorcycle for delivery, so it is necessary to always install this device in consideration of rain falling during delivery. There will be. However, in this apparatus, taking out newspapers at the time of delivery is slightly troublesome as described above, and there is also a problem that the frame body is somewhat disturbed when loading into the loading platform. In short, this device has a drawback that it cannot be well adapted in fine weather.

The belt main body is prevented from coming off when the return piece 7b4 of the connecting hole 7b3 is locked to the locking protrusion 7b2 at the corresponding position on the one surface. In this embodiment, the attachment means 7 and 7 are configured to be attached to the vertical frames f and f. However, it is not inconvenient to configure the attachment means 7 and 7 to be attached to other portions of the frame member of the loading platform n.

  Further, in the figure, even when the vertical frame f is not held, the belt main body of the binding belt 7b is shown inserted into the connection hole 7b3 of the connection portion 7b1, but this is easy to understand. Therefore, it is shown as such for convenience. As described above, when the belt body is inserted into the connecting hole 7b3, the belt body cannot be easily removed. Therefore, the belt body should not be inserted until it is attached to the loading platform n. When it is necessary to remove from the loading platform n, the belt body is cut with a scissors or a cutter. When reattaching, a new binding belt 7b is used.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the cylindrical case 2 further has a tip end portion of the cover member 4 that hangs down from the drawer slit 1 when the cover member 4 is not used. In order to prevent this, a closing tool 8 for closing a part thereof is provided. The closure 8 includes a planar fastener 8a fixed at an intermediate portion between the two attachment means 7 and 7, and a belt having one end fixed on the opposite side across the planar fastener 8a and the extraction slit 1. The belt member 8b includes a corresponding surface fastener that can be coupled to the surface fastener 8a. As shown in FIG. 1, if the belt member 8b is extended to the opposite planar fastener 8a side and the corresponding planar fastener is pressed against the planar fastener 8a, they are coupled to each other, and The vicinity of the middle in the length direction is closed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the tip of the cover member 4 from dripping from the drawing slit 1.

  Therefore, according to the rain avoidance cover apparatus for newspaper delivery of this embodiment, it is always attached in a suspended state under the rear part of the loading platform n of the motorcycle used for newspaper delivery, using the binding belt 7b of the attachment means 7, 7. It is possible to keep. In this attachment, as shown in FIGS. 5, 7 and 9, the binding belt 7b is held in the corresponding vertical frame f of the loading platform n, and the belt body is connected to the connecting hole 7b3 of the connecting portion 7b1.

At this time, the cylindrical case 2 is attached to the loading platform n with its orientation determined so that the drawer slit 1 opens rearward.

  When this rain-avoidance cover device is attached in this manner, as described above and shown in FIGS. 6 to 11, the rain-avoidance cover device is suspended under the rear part of the loading platform n of the motorcycle. In addition, there is no trouble in loading the newspapers p in the conventional manner, and there is no inconvenience in taking out the required number of newspapers p from the loading platform n at the delivery destination, and no problem occurs. 8 to 11, b is a tightening belt that is tightened to hold the newspaper p loaded in the conventional manner on the loading platform n.

On the other hand, in the case of rain, it is possible to avoid the rain by covering the newspaper p loaded on the loading platform 4 with the cover member 4 at any time, even when it starts to rain during delivery.
In this case, the corresponding planar fastener at the tip of the belt member 8b of the closing tool 8 is peeled off from the planar fastener 8a, and the drawer slit 1 is opened and exposed to the drawer slit 1 as shown in FIG. The endless locking belt 5 is pulled to pull out the cover member 4 in the cylindrical case 2. Needless to say, since the cover member 4 is pulled out rearward, it is folded forward at the rear end of the loading platform n, and as shown in FIGS. Is extended to the foremost part of the loading platform n. At the foremost portion, the endless locking belt 5 at the tip is stretched and locked on hooks h, h on both sides of the loading platform n. Thus, the newspaper p loaded on the loading platform n can be completely covered with the cover member 4.

  After that, even when moving to the delivery destination, since the cover member 4 is thus covered, there is no possibility that the newspaper p gets wet with rain water. At the delivery destination, the side of the loading platform n can be opened by turning the corresponding part of the cover member 4 so that the newspaper p can be taken out from the part and distributed. Since the turning operation on the side portion of the cover member 4 can be performed very easily, the newspaper distribution operation can be performed speedily without much difference from the case where the newspaper p is not covered with the cover member 4.

  After the delivery is finished, the moisture on the upper surface side of the cover member 4 is wiped off, and further, the state in which the cover member 4 is pulled out is held and dried, and then the endless locking belt 5 is removed from the corresponding hooks h and h of the loading platform n. Then, the take-up grip 6 is rotated, and the cover member 4 is drawn from the pull-out slit 1 and is wound around the winding shaft 3 to be stored in the cylindrical case 2. At this time, the cover member 4 is preliminarily folded at the positions indicated by the wavy lines in FIG. 12 by overlapping the enlarged cover portions 4a and 4a inward to make the width narrower than the lengthwise dimension of the extraction slit 1. Shall be kept. Thus, the cover member 4 can be smoothly wound around the winding shaft 3 and stored in the cylindrical case 2.

  Thereafter, the belt member 8b of the closing tool 8 is extended to the opposite side beyond the drawing slit 1, and is press-bonded to the planar fastener 8a disposed on the opposite side with the corresponding planar fastener on the inner surface of the distal end. . In this way, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the tip of the cover member 4 hangs down from the drawing slit 1.
