Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle body cover for covering a vehicle such as an automobile or a motorcycle to protect the vehicle from wind and rain.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A body cover of this type is made of waterproof cloth, covers the upper side of the vehicle, and is open at the lower side of the vehicle. The edge of the opening, that is, the hem of the body cover is often squeezed to prevent the body cover from easily coming off the vehicle.

In order to squeeze the hem of the body cover, for example, a band-like bag is provided along the hem, a string is passed through the band-like bag, both ends of the string are pulled out to the outside of the band-like bag, and both ends of the string are tightened. .

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional body cover, since the cord wraps around the hem of the opening inside the band-shaped bag, the cord receives a very large resistance inside the band-shaped bag. It was Therefore, it is difficult to tighten the string and loosen the string, and the hem of the body cover cannot be swung or opened quickly. In particular, when the body cover gets wet with rainwater, the string is easily caught inside the band-shaped bag, which makes the work extremely difficult.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle body cover in which the hem of the body cover can be swung or opened quickly.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention covers the upper side of a vehicle and opens at the lower side of the vehicle, and is locked to the vehicle by squeezing the opening. In the vehicle body cover according to the present invention, the elastic portion and the tightening portion are arranged apart from each other on the edge of the opening portion of the vehicle body cover, and one elastic portion engages with the elastic member to open the opening of the vehicle bag. The edge of the part is partially expanded and contracted, and the other tightening portion is connected to the ends of a pair of tightening strings with a gap.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the elastic portion and the tightening portion are spaced apart from each other at the edge of the opening of the vehicle body cover, the elastic portion elastically expands and contracts, and the tightening portion has a pair of cords. The ends are connected at intervals. If you cover this vehicle body cover on the vehicle and tighten each string,
The space between the ends of these strings is narrowed, and accordingly, the opening of the vehicle body cover is narrowed. At this time, the elastic portion of the edge of the opening portion expands and contracts, so that the opening portion does not loosen.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 and 2 show an embodiment of a vehicle body cover of the present invention. The body cover 1 is for a motorcycle and is formed by cutting and sewing waterproof cloth. A band-shaped bag 2 is formed at the hem of the opening of the body cover 1. Also, on this hem, the elastic portion 3 and the tightening portion 4
Is arranged.

In the elastic portion 3, as shown in FIG. 3, a rubber cord 5 is housed in the band-shaped bag 2, and the rubber cord 5 is
Both ends of are sewn to the body cover 1 on both sides of the elastic portion 3. Due to the elasticity of the rubber cord 5, the hem of the body cover 1 is squeezed by the elastic portion 3.

At the tightening portion 4, as shown in FIG. 4, a pair of tightening strings 6 and 7 are introduced into the band-shaped bag 2. One ends of these tightening strings 6 and 7 are sewn to the body cover 1 on both sides of the tightening portion 4.
The other ends of these tightening strings 6 and 7 are provided with holes 2a of the band-shaped bag 2.
The tightening cords 6 and 7 are led to the outside through the clamp 8. Also, in this tightening portion 4,
A pouch 9 is provided.

The holding device 8 has a guide frame 11 as shown in FIG.
And a moving piece 12. The guide frame 11 has one opening end 11a that is narrow and the other opening end 11b that is wide. The tightening cords 6 and 7 are inserted from the narrow opening end 11a of the guide frame 11 to the wide opening end 11b. The moving piece 12 includes a gear-shaped portion 12a, a disc portion 12b, and a shaft portion (not shown) that connects the gear-shaped portion 12a and the disc portion 12b. Both edges of the slot 11c of the guide frame 11 are sandwiched between the gear-shaped portion 12a and the disc portion 12b, and the moving piece 12 is locked to the guide frame 11.

Here, as shown in FIG. 5, when the movable piece 12 is moved to the side of the wide opening end 11b along the groove hole 11c of the guide frame 11, the movable piece 12 is moved to both sides of the gear-shaped portion 12a. Since a sufficient gap is formed, each tightening string 6,
7 can be passed smoothly. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, when the moving piece 12 is moved to the side of the narrow opening end 11a of the guide frame 11, between the gear-shaped portion 12a of the moving piece 12 and the inner walls on both sides of the guide frame 11, each tightening is performed. Since the strings 6 and 7 are sandwiched, these tightening strings 6 and 7 are fastened.

Now, the body cover 1 is put on the motorcycle, and in the state shown in FIG. 5, the tightening cords 6 and 7 are pulled to move the clamp 8 to the hole 2a of the belt-shaped bag 2 of the body cover 1. At this time, although the tightening straps 6 and 7 move inside the strip-shaped bag 2,
Since 7 is short, it doesn't receive much resistance. Therefore, the tightening cords 6 and 7 can be pulled quickly. Along with this, the opening of the body cover 1 is narrowed down and its hem is caught on the lower part of the motorcycle.

On the other hand, when the opening of the body cover 1 is squeezed, the elastic portion 2 of the hem extends, and the elastic portion 2 stretches the hem, so that the hem does not loosen.

After this, as shown in FIG. 6, the moving piece 12 of the holding device 8 is moved to the side of the narrow opening end 11b of the guide frame 11, and the tightening cords 6 and 7 are fastened. Then, the pulled-out portions of these tightening cords 6 and 7 are stored in the pouch 9 of the tightening portion 4.

7 and 8 show another embodiment of the vehicle body cover of the present invention. The body cover 21 is for an automobile, and a belt-like bag 22 is formed on the hem of the body cover 21, and two elastic portions 23 and 24 and one tightening portion 25 are arranged.

In the elastic portions 23 and 24, respective rubber cords are housed in the band-shaped bag 22, and the elasticity of these rubber cords causes the hem of the body cover 21 to be squeezed.

The tightening portion 25 is provided with a pair of tightening strings 26 and 27, and one end of these tightening strings 26 and 27 is sewn on the inside of the band-shaped bag 22 so that these tightening strings 26 and 27 can be sewn together. The other end is a belt-shaped bag 22
Of the tightening cords 26, 2
7 is passed through the clamp 28.

This body cover 21 is also shown in FIGS.
Similar to the one shown in (1), after covering the automobile, the tightening cords 26 and 27 are pulled, and the clamp 28 is moved to the hole 22a of the belt-shaped bag 22 of the body cover 21. As a result, the opening of the body cover 1 is narrowed down and its hem is caught on the lower part of the body of the automobile. The pulled-out portions of the tightening cords 26 and 27 are stored in the small bag 29 of the tightening portion 25.

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention, the elastic portion and the tightening portion are arranged apart from each other at the edge of the opening of the vehicle body cover, and the elastic portion elastically expands and contracts to tighten. The ends of a pair of cords are connected to the portion with a gap. Put this vehicle body cover on the vehicle,
When the cords are tightened, the distance between the ends of these cords is narrowed, and accordingly, the opening of the vehicle body cover is narrowed. Since these cords can be short, the resistance generated between the cords and the vehicle body cover is small, and therefore the work of tightening each cord can be easily performed. Further, since the elastic portion at the edge of the opening of the body cover expands and contracts, the opening does not become loose.
