An improved structure stroller basket in which two arcuate notches are formed in the frame-like rim extending outward from the opening of the basket. As such, the basket is fitted onto the back rod frame of the stroller seat and retained in position with the basket bottom resting against the chassis axle. Furthermore, a hole is disposed in each of the two sides of the basket opening such that the short posts postured inward from the two ends of a U-shaped handle enter the holes and become pivotably coupled. As such, since the arcuate notches in the rim of the basket and the back rod frame of the stroller seat are positioned together by direct insertion, both assembly component quantity and finishing time are reduced and, furthermore, the potentially hazardous incidence of shoes lace snagging is eliminated to thereby effectively achieve the practical utility of fast, convenient, and simple installation. |

A object storing case of a motorcycle includes a connecting part disposed in a recess of a rear side of a holding body thereo, a fixing plate pivoted to the connecting part at the middle, a locking member and an operating member. The locking member is pivoted to the connecting part, and the fixing plate is pivoted to the locking member at a lower end such that the locking member can be turned for moving the fixing plate between an engaging position and a disengaging one in relation to a cover of the case. The locking member is equipped with a combination lock, and has a sloping slot extending from the lower edge, through which a spindle of the operating member is passed. The operating member further has a commoving pole associated with a stopping plate capable of being locked with the combination lock. Thus, when the operating member is turned to an “open” position where an operated portion thereof is aligned with the sloping slot, the locking member can be pivoted Up for the fixing plate to disengage the cover. When the operating member is turned to a “lock” position where the operated portion crosses the sloping slot, the cover can't be opened; the combination lock can be used to prevent the operating member from turning away from the “lock” position. When the operating member is turned to a “release” position where the operated portion also crosses thief sloping slot, the cover can't be opened but the case can be removed from the motorcycle because an engaging element of an inner end of the spindle disengages a blocking part of the motorcycle. |
