BIKE TRAILER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240017791 titled 'BIKE TRAILER
Simplified Explanation
The disclosed patent application describes a bike trailer with a main frame and a seat structure. The main frame provides space for transporting passengers or loads. The seat structure can be moved between an operational state, where it forms a seating area for a passenger, and a stowed state, where it is folded away to transport other loads.
Key points of the patent/innovation:
- The bike trailer has a main frame and a seat structure.
- The main frame provides space for passengers or loads.
- The seat structure can be transferred between an operational state and a stowed state.
- In the operational state, the seat structure forms a seating area for a passenger.
- In the stowed state, the seat structure is folded away to transport other loads.
- The seat structure includes a backrest portion with a seating side for contacting the back of a passenger.
- The backrest portion is protected against contact with loads when the seat structure is in the stowed state.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Transportation of passengers on a bike trailer.
- Transporting loads other than passengers on a bike trailer.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a versatile bike trailer that can accommodate both passengers and other loads.
- Protects the backrest portion of the seat structure when transporting loads.
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased flexibility in using a bike trailer for different purposes.
- Enhanced safety by protecting the backrest portion of the seat structure.
Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed is a bike trailer having a main frame and a seat structure. the main frame defines an accommodating space for a passenger or load to be transported. the seat structure is transferable between an operational state in which the seat structure forms a seating area for the passenger, and a stowed state in which the seat structure is folded away thereby allowing the transport of loads other than passengers. the seat structure comprises a backrest portion with a seating side for at least partially contacting the back of a passenger. the backrest portion is accommodatable in the bike trailer such that at least the seating side of the backrest portion is protected against contact with loads to be carried when the seat structure is in the stowed state.
