5 and FIG. 8A when viewed from the side,
As shown by reference numeral 58 in (b), both sides along the traveling direction of the bicycle are generally inclined so as to fall from the middle toward the front side (the bicycle side). This is because this portion is close to the handle 57 of the bicycle, and the handle 57 is in the way, so that objects can be easily taken in and out.

[0010] Therefore, also in the cover 20 of the luggage 51, a portion corresponding to the side of the upper edge is directed from the middle toward the near side (the bicycle side) so that the box shape 11 follows the contour of the luggage 51. As described above, the portion of the extended portion 7 on the upper edge side corresponding to that portion also forms the inclined surface 8 as described above.

However, as shown in FIG. 8 (c), there is also a packing basket 51 'in which the portion indicated by reference numeral 58 does not form an inclination, as shown in FIG. ', There is a problem that the cover 20 of the conventional example cannot be mounted such that the corner of the inclined surface 8 of the extending portion 7 sticks to the corner of the load basket 51'.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a cover provided with a box-shaped upper edge provided with an extended portion for preventing the stored articles in the storage basket from jumping out due to vibration during traveling, in the traveling direction of the bicycle in the storage basket. Regardless of whether or not there is a slope on both upper sides along
In order to be able to attach.

[0013]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a cover according to the present invention is provided with a notch at a corner of a side of a bicycle on an inclined surface of the extending portion, and a notch of a cargo basket is formed from the notch. The corner was peeping out.

By doing so, as shown in FIG. 4 to be described later, the cover 10 can be mounted on the cargo basket 51 'having no inclined portion.

Further, even if a force is applied to the cover to slide it downward due to the notch, the cover will slip downward because the notch is caught at the corner of the baggage. Is also surely prevented.
