A method of attaching the motorcycle support 12 of the embodiment configured as described above to the cap mounting base 2 will be described. First, the screw at the time of purchasing a motorcycle attached to the cap mounting base 2 is removed. Next, the left and right support bases 26 are placed on the upper surface of the cap mounting base 2, and the tips of the support mounting screws 16 are placed in the screw through holes 31 of the support base 26 and the screw holes 3 of the cap mounting base 2. The support base 26 is fixed on the cap mounting base 2 by being inserted and screwed into the screw hole of the fuel tank. The support base part 26 is disposed outside the cap opening 2 a of the cap mounting base 2 so that the support base part 26 does not hinder the opening and closing of the cap 4. Next, the support portions 18 and 19 are fitted into the fitting groove 33 of the holding portion 29 of the support base portion 26, and the fitting groove 41 of the presser fitting 21 is fitted from above. Then, the tip of the screw 43 is inserted into the screw through hole 42 of the presser fitting 21 and screwed into the screw hole 34 of the support base part 26 to fix the presser metal piece 21 to the holding part 29 of the support base part 26. Then, the support portions 18 and 19 are sandwiched between the presser fitting 21 and the holding portion 29 of the support base portion 26. If the screws 43 are loosely tightened, the support portions 18 and 19 can slide back and forth, so the amount of overhang of the support portions 18 and 19 is adjusted to an optimum value. After the adjustment, the screws 43 are tightened to position the support portions 18 and 19 so as not to slide. As described above, the support 12 is fixed to the cap mounting base 2.
[0022]
When attaching the bag 11 to the support 12, the bag 11 is moved from the front to the rear, and the pockets 52, 52 of the bag 11 are inserted into the protruding portion 46 of the front support portion 18. Further, the bottom surface of the bag 11 is placed on the support portions 18 and 19. Subsequently, the hook and loop fastener 57 of the flap 56 is engaged with the hook and loop fastener 58 of the bag body while the rear end portion of the rear support portion 19 is sandwiched between the flap 56 and the bag body. The bag 11 is now attached to the support tool 12.
[0023]
Thus, since the bag 11 is detachably attached to the support 12 on the tank cover 1, the bag 11 can be attached without using a magnet or a belt.
[0024]
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention described in the claims. Can be done. Examples of modifications of the present invention are illustrated below.
(1) The presser fitting 21 can also be provided with a notch for tightening the support attachment screw 16.
[0025]
(2) The support 12 can be attached to a motorcycle that does not have a tank cover that covers the fuel tank. The material of the fuel tank or tank cover can be selected as appropriate.
(3) The shapes of the support portions 18 and 19 do not necessarily have to be rod shapes, and can be selected as appropriate.
[0026]
(4) The fixing of the rear portion of the bag 11 to the rear support portion 19 is not necessarily performed by the flap 56, and other fixing means can be appropriately employed. Further, the arrangement position of the rear fixing means can be appropriately changed, and for example, it can be provided on both sides of the bag.
(5) It is possible to support the support tool 12 other than the bag 11 (for example, electrical equipment).
(6) The number of pockets 52 can be selected as appropriate, and can be one. Also, when the pockets 52, 52 are provided on the left and right, it is sufficient that at least the pockets are on the left and right, and the pocket can be provided in the central portion, and a total of three or more can be provided.
[0027]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the motorcycle support is attached using the screw hole of the cap mounting base of the fuel tank, and unlike the belt, it has a good appearance and cannot be attached with a magnet. It can also be attached to tank covers. In addition, a front support portion and a rear support portion projecting in the front-rear direction from the support base are provided, and are arranged in a balanced manner without being biased to one side. Therefore, luggage such as a bag can be stably supported.
[0028]
In addition, since the support base is disposed outside the cap opening of the cap mounting base, it is possible to prevent the cap from being opened and closed.
[0029]
Furthermore, since the front support portion and the rear support portion are slidable in the front-rear direction, the position of the support portion can be adjusted back and forth according to the preference of the motorcycle driver and the size of the bag.
[0030]
Further, since the front support portion and the rear support portion are bar members, it is possible to prevent the cap attachment / detachment operation and the oil supply operation from being obstructed as much as possible.
[0031]
A pocket opening rearward is provided at the front of the bottom of the motorcycle bag, and the front end of the front support is inserted into this pocket. By the way, while driving a motorcycle, wind hits the bag from the front. When this wind directly hits the bottom surface of the bag, an upward force is applied to the bag and the bag tends to rise and the bag becomes unstable. However, as described above, since the pocket is provided in the front portion of the bottom surface of the bag, the wind hits the lower surface of the pocket, and this force is not applied to the bag body but directly applied to the front support portion. Therefore, the bag can be supported as stably as possible.
[0032]
If the number of pockets is one, the bag may move left and right around the front support portion, and the support of the bag becomes unstable. However, if the pocket is on the left and right, the bag moves less to the left and right around the front support portion, and the bag can be supported stably.
[0033]
Furthermore, the rear support part of the bag is fixed to the rear support part by sandwiching the substantially U-shaped rear support part between the hook and loop fasteners of the bag flap and the bag main body side. In addition, it is possible to prevent the fixing position of the rear support portion from being displaced as much as possible, and the bag can be stably supported.
