Decoration case for stationary bicycles

Abstract

A decoration case for a stationary bicycle includes two portions which are respectively connected to a front end and a rear end of two connection plates which are connected to two sides of the bicycle and the bottom bracket extends through the two connection plates. The two portions covers the driving mechanism located between a top bar and an I-shaped frame of the bicycle. Only one of the two portions needs to be removed when in maintenance.

1 . A stationary bicycle comprising: 
 an I-shaped frame including a front transverse bar, a rear transverse bar and a connection rod connected between the front transverse bar and the rear transverse bar, a top bar extending from the front transverse bar and located above the connection rod, a post extending from the top bar and a handle connected to the post, a seat post connected to the top bar and a seat connected to the seat post, a driving mechanism located between the top bar and the connection rod, the driving mechanism having a sprocket with a bottom bracket extending therethrough and two connection plates connected to two sides of the driving mechanism, each connection plate having a hole through which the bottom bracket extends and two cranks connected to two ends of the bottom bracket, two pedals connected to two cranks, a wheel located beside the sprocket and a chain/belt connected between the sprocket and the wheel, a decoration case including two portions respectively connected to a front end and a rear end of the connection plates to cover a space between the top bar and the connection rod.    
     
     
         2 . The decoration case as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each of the two portions is composed of two halves respectively connected from two sides of the stationary bicycle.  
     
     
         3 . The decoration case as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein each of the halves is connected to the connection plates, lugs on the top bar and the connection rod by screws.  
     
     
         4 . The decoration case as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the two halves of one of the two portions includes a lip extending from a lower edge thereof and two cooperation plates extend from the connection rod so as to be engaged with the lips.  
     
     
         5 . The decoration case as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the two halves of one of the two portions includes a groove defined in a lower edge thereof and two cooperation plates extend from the connection rod so that the cooperation plates are inserted in the grooves of the two halves.  
     
     
         6 . The decoration case as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the two halves of one of the two portions includes an aperture defined in a top edge thereof and two insertions extend from the top bar so that the two insertions are inserted in the apertures of the two halves.  
     
     
         7 . The decoration case as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the two portions are two U-shaped members which are connected to the front and rear ends of the connection plates.
