Abstract

A detachable canopy-like cover intended to be used on motor scooters, which can protect cyclists from the elements and provide increased stability for a motor scooter. The cover's lightweight construction is water-resistant yet sturdy enough to be used on the highway. The cover includes a non-shattering molded front shield that protects a cyclist and its passenger from oncoming flying debris. The All Weather Cycle Protector effectively serves to reduce intense temperatures cyclists are exposed to while on a motor scooter. The frame for the cover is constructed of a lightweight material that can easily be attached to the front and back frame of a motor scooter. Clamps are used to hold the frame firmly in place on the under portion of a motor scooter.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim:  
     
         1 . A removable All Weather Cycle Protector made for a motor scooter comprising: 
 a detachable rust resistant cover that can be used on a motor scooter during inclement weather. The front of the All Weather Cycle Protector frame is constructed of PVC Pipe and is held together with two and three-way connectors, (in various locations) screws, PVC glue and stainless steel clamps. Two 61½-inch PVC pipes run from top to bottom of the All Weather Cycle Protector. The pipes are in 4 sections—Top left-hand side, top right-hand side, middle left-hand since, and middle right-hand side—so that the PVC pipes could be connected into the three-way connectors with PVC glue for added durability for the outer side of the frame. The molded Plexiglas™ that shields cyclists from flying debris is screwed into the three-way connectors: middle right-hand side and the middle left-hand side. Three 21½-inch PVC pipes are connected in the same manner for the top, bottom and middle sections of the front side. Next, the bottom front 21½-inch PVC pipes are connected with two-way connectors on the left and right side to the bottom portion of the motor scooter. The front end of the motor scooter extends through the bottom portion of the All Weather Cycle Protector frame so that each side could be held together with two stainless steel clamps (for it to be removable). The top and back of the All Weather Cycle Protector frame is covered with standard tarp. The front top corners are at a 45-degree angle while the top back corners are at a 90-degree angle. This provides an adequate flow of air when the motor scooter is in motion. The back portion of the All Weather Cycle Protector acts as a back support for the passenger. In addition, the sides of the motor scooter were measured to further claim how the front point of the motor scooter must stick out through the bottom window section of the frame to depict how it is attached and act as a guard. The PVC pipes are extended much longer on the sides in the front to show where additional stainless steel clamps are located for extra security. The canopy design has a streamlined, as well as, aerodynamic effect. The streamlined design protects the driver and/or the passenger from the elements and flying debris from the front, top, and back angles. The highly unique design of the All Weather Cycle Protector doesn't take away from the performance of the motor scooter when it is attached.    
     
     
         2 . All Weather Cycle Protector of  claim 1 , front molded Plexiglas™ and top and rear tarp gives airflow to keep driver and passenger reasonably cool.  
     
     
         3 . All Weather Cycle Protector of  claim 1 , rear poles makes motor scooters more visible to other drivers.  
     
     
         4 . All Weather Cycle Protector of  claim 1  said streamlined effect useful to the driver to enable them to see at various angles.  
     
     
         5 . All Weather Cycle Protector of  claim 1  does not hinder the performance of the motor scooter.  
     
     
         6 . All Weather Cycle Protector of  claim 1 , front, top and rear poles give stability from moving vehicles.  
     
     
         7 . All Weather Cycle Protector of  claim 1 , front and rear poles act as a guard when the motor scooter is dropped on the side.  
     
     
         8 . All Weather Cycle Protector of  claim 1 , lower front poles said stick out along the sides to protect the driver and passenger from unleveled roads when turning.
