Claim:
A canopy adapted to be removably mounted on a tricycle; the canopy comprising a lower transverse member; the lower transverse member comprising a body having a forward surface, a rear surface, an upper edge, a lower edge and side edges; said body defining a vertical central axis; and an attachment device extending forwardly from said body forward surface; said attachment device being adapted to mount said lower transverse member to a shoulder of a tricycle; and pair of spaced apart upwardly opening slots extending generally downwardly from said upper edge; said slots being spaced apart generally equidistantly from said central axis of said body; a pair of side members; said side members comprising a body having an inner surface, an outer surface, a front edge, a back edge and a top edge; and an arm extending upwardly from said side member top edge; said side members being sized to be received in said upwardly opening slots of said lower transverse member; an upper transverse member comprising a body having a forward surface, a rear surface, an upper edge, a lower edge, and side edges; a pair of spaced apart downwardly opening slots extending upwardly from said lower edge, said slots being approximately equidistant from a centerline of the upper transverse member body; and a pair of legs extending downwardly from said upper transverse member body; said legs having an inner edge and an outer edge; said inner edge of said legs being generally co-linear with an outer edge of said upwardly extending slots; said inner edge of said legs engaging an outer surface of said side members when said canopy is assembled; a roof member mounted on said side members to extend forwardly of said side members; said roof member having a back edge, a front edge, side edges and a pair of openings proximate the back and side edges; said openings being sized to receive said upwardly extending arms of said side members and being positioned to be aligned with said upwardly extending arms of said side members when said side members are mounted in said lower transverse member; said upwardly opening slots of said lower transverse member; said downwardly opening slots of said upper transverse member and said inner edge of said legs of said upper transverse member all being sloped inwardly and positioned, such that when said canopy is assembled, the side members will slope inwardly and will frictionally engage said inner edge of said legs of said upper transverse member, at least one edge of said upwardly opening slot of said lower transverse member and at least one edge of said downwardly opening slot of said upper transverse member.
