Patent attributes
An improved bicycle travel case for protecting a partially disassembled bicycle during storage and travel. A skeletal tubular inner framework forms a rigid perimeter defining a shape of the case and is foldable for storage. The framework has an upper and lower section, joined with a hinged connection and a self-latching connection. Mesh panels are installed within planar surfaces defined by the framework, creating impact resistant surfaces encircling the case. A removable fabric cover encloses the inner framework and mesh panel assemblage. Upon removal of the fabric cover for inspection during airline travel, the bicycle is on prominent visual display beneath its protective framework and mesh case, nullifying the need to open the case and physically handle it. The bicycle is releasably locked in the case by two fork mounts that isolate the bicycle from damaging forces. A releasably lockable mount also secures bicycle wheels inside the case.
