Japanese Patent No. 3324208

The conventional loading hook is fixedly attached to the leg shield. For example, when a hanging member hangs a long load such as a hanging band of a bag, the load contacts the step floor. there is a possibility. When the load comes into contact with the step floor, sagging occurs in the suspension member, so that it is difficult to support the load firmly, and it is easy to be shaken by the shaking while the vehicle is running, and it is difficult to ensure the stability of the load. Furthermore, since there is a possibility that the baggage may become dirty when the baggage comes into contact with the step floor, there is a problem that the baggage that can be loaded is limited. The present invention solves such a problem.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a motorcycle having a step floor between a handle and a seat and provided with a loading member capable of hanging a hanging member of a load on a front part of a vehicle in front of the step floor. In the loading device of
A mounting member extending in the vehicle width direction is attached to the front portion of the vehicle body frame that rises upward in front of the step floor, and a plurality of mounting portions for mounting the loading member are formed on the mounting member.
One of the plurality of attachment portions is selected, and at least two loading members are detachably attached.

At this time, the mounting member can be formed as a vehicle width direction portion extending in the vehicle width direction and a front / rear direction portion extending from the end portion in the vehicle front / rear direction.
Further, a plurality of attachment portions for attaching the attachment member can be provided in the vertical direction at a portion where the attachment member is attached to the front portion of the body frame.
Furthermore, the attachment member may be covered with a vehicle body cover, and an opening may be provided in a portion facing the attachment portion of the load hanging member, and the load hanging member may be attached via the opening.
Moreover, you may provide the 2nd attaching part which attaches the said load-hanging member detachably from the vehicle outer side in the rear part of the said vehicle body frame.

  According to the present invention, since the interval between at least two loading members can be made variable in the vehicle width direction, the width of the loading member can be adjusted according to the length of the suspension member. Therefore, since the distance between the load and the step floor can be increased regardless of the length of the suspension member, the load can be prevented from contacting the step floor. Furthermore, since the suspension member is supported at a plurality of points, it is possible to prevent the load of the load from being applied to one point and to stably support the load against the rolling of the vehicle.

  Further, since the mounting member includes a vehicle width direction portion extending in the vehicle width direction and a front / rear direction portion extending from the end portion in the vehicle front / rear direction, the mounting member is attached to the front / rear direction portion to the side of the vehicle. Can be attached to. For this reason, the space | interval range of the loading member can be made wider.

  Furthermore, the mounting height of the mounting member can be changed as appropriate by providing a plurality of mounting portions for mounting the mounting member in the vertical direction at the portion where the mounting member is attached to the front portion of the body frame, and the height of the loading member can be changed. It can be adjusted freely. In addition, a plurality of mounting members can be arranged at different heights. In this case, a plurality of loading members are provided in the vertical direction, and the hanging members are hooked on the loading members of various heights depending on the length. Can do.

  Further, when the mounting member is covered with the vehicle body cover and an opening is provided in a portion facing the mounting portion of the loading member, and the loading member can be mounted through the opening, the mounting member is attached to the vehicle body frame and the vehicle body. It can be supported by the cover, and the rigidity of the mounting member can be increased.

Furthermore, if a second attachment portion for detachably attaching the loading member from the outside of the vehicle is provided at the rear portion of the vehicle body frame, the second attachment portion can be used for spare attachment of the loading member. improves.
In addition, even when the loading member is not used for loading, the loading member can be used as an accent of the vehicle by attaching the loading member to the front and rear of the vehicle. Since the vehicle can be changed, the attachment to the vehicle can be enhanced.

  An embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view of a scooter type motorcycle.

The spare loading member 29 has the same structure as the loading member 13 and is provided as a spare.
Further, even if no spare loading member is provided, when not used for loading, it may be used as a space for placing the loading member at a user's favorite place as a vehicle accent. .

  Next, details of the loading device will be described. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the loading member 13, which is formed by integrating a cylindrical large diameter portion 30 and a small diameter portion 31. A through hole 36 (FIG. 4) is provided in the axial center portion, and one end thereof is The head 34 of the mounting bolt 33 that opens into the recess 32 provided in the large-diameter portion 30 and passes through the through hole 36 is accommodated. The loading member 13 is made of resin or metal.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the hook 15, which has a substantially J-shape or L-shape integrally including a vertical portion 40 extending in the vertical direction and a horizontal portion 41 extending substantially in the horizontal direction to form a boss portion. And is made of metal.

  The horizontal portion 41 is formed with a through hole 42 that penetrates in the horizontal direction and passes the mounting bolt 33. One end of the through hole 42 opens into the recess 43, and the head 34 of the mounting bolt 33 that passes through the through hole 42 is formed. It is accommodated in the recess 43. The upper end of the vertical portion 40 is formed in the curved surface portion 44.

  In addition, the suspension member 17 of the luggage 16 can be hooked around the lateral portion 41 and the small diameter portion 31. At this time, the large-diameter portion 30 and the vertical portion 40 function as a detachment prevention portion for the suspension member 17.

FIG. 4 is a view for explaining the attachment of the loading member 13. The hook 15 is similarly attached. A through hole 36 passes through the axial center of the loading member 13, and one end thereof opens to the bottom of the recess 32. Therefore, the tip of the small diameter portion 31 of the loading member 13 is overlapped with a predetermined position of the front cover 11, the mounting bolt 33 is inserted into the through hole 36, and the dedicated screwdriver 37 is inserted into the tool groove 35 provided in the head 34 to rotate. By doing so, the loading member 13 is attached by fastening the mounting bolt 33 to the mounting member 50 described in detail later.

In the present embodiment, the tool groove 35 has a special shape different from the conventional +, − grooves and hexagonal grooves, such as a star shape, and can be attached and detached only by a dedicated driver 37 having the same shape of the cutting edge. You can prevent mischief. However, a conventional +, − groove or the like may be used.
The dedicated driver 37 can be integrated with an ignition key 38 so as to be foldable by a hinge 39, for example.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the mounting member 50. The mounting member 50 is formed by bending a band-shaped member made of a rigid material such as metal into a substantially U-shape to form a central vehicle width direction portion 51 and left and right front-rear direction portions 52. The vehicle width direction portion 51 and left and right front-rear direction portions 52 A plurality of mounting holes 53 are provided at predetermined intervals such as equal intervals.
The mounting hole 53 is formed as a nut hole and can be fastened with the mounting bolt 33, and corresponds to the mounting portion of the present invention. However, a separate nut may be attached by welding or the like. Further, the number and interval of the mounting holes 53 can be arbitrarily set.

  This attachment member 50 attaches the center part of the vehicle width direction part 51 made horizontal with respect to the back surface of the head pipe 7 by bolting or welding. As a result, the vehicle width direction portion 51 extends and extends in the vehicle body width direction, and the front-rear direction portion 52 projects forward.

  The illustration shows an example of bolting, and a through hole 54 different from the mounting hole 53 is provided at the center in the left-right direction of the vehicle width direction portion 51, and this is connected to a nut hole 55 provided on the back surface of the head pipe 7 with a bolt 56. It is designed to be installed with. The bolt 56 can be used in common with the mounting bolt 33. A number of nut holes 55 are provided on the back surface of the head pipe 7 in the vertical direction at predetermined intervals. By selecting one of these, the mounting height of the mounting member 50 can be arbitrarily changed.

  For the mounting hole 53 in the vehicle width direction portion 51, any two desired intervals are selected, and the hooks 15 are respectively attached to the mounting holes 33 with the mounting bolts 33, thereby maintaining two desired intervals on the left and right. The hook 15 can be provided, and by hanging the suspension member 17 between them, the support span in the vehicle width direction can be lengthened and the luggage 16 can be stably supported. In addition, since the suspension member 17 is supported by the hooks 15 having two spaces, the load of the load 16 can be prevented from being concentrated on one point, and the load can be distributed. It becomes easy to secure.

Moreover, since the position and height in the left-right direction where the hook 15 is provided can be freely changed, the support position of the luggage 16 can be adjusted to an appropriate position even when the hanging member 17 is different in length as will be described later. It will be excellent.
Note that the loading member 13 can also be attached to the left and right front-rear direction parts 52 by adjusting it in the front-rear and up-down directions.

  Reference numeral 58 denotes a detent, which is provided in the vicinity of the through hole 54 of the attachment member 50 so as to extend in the vertical direction. When the attachment member 50 is attached to the head pipe 7, the detent 58 is provided on the surface of the head pipe 7 in the longitudinal direction. In this way, the rotation of the mounting member 50 at the time of bolting is prevented. The rotation stoppers 58 may be provided as a pair of left and right as shown, or may be provided only on one side of the left and right. Moreover, even if it extends in the up and down direction, it may extend only to either the upper or lower side.

  FIG. 6 is a view showing a hook 15 attached state. In the mounting member 50 disposed in advance inside the front cover 11, the mounting hole 53 of the vehicle width direction portion 51 coincides with the through hole 57 provided in the front cover 11. Note that the mounting hole 53 of the front-rear direction portion 52 also coincides with the through hole provided in the side surface of the front cover 11. Therefore, the through hole 42 of the hook 15 is aligned with the through hole 57 of the front cover 11, the tip of the lateral portion 41 is brought into contact with the front cover 11, and the mounting bolt 33 is inserted from the concave portion 43 side. When arranged and fastened to the through hole 57 and the attachment hole 53, the hook 15 is attached to the attachment member 50 and protrudes from the back surface of the front cover 11.

  At this time, through holes 57 are formed in the rear surface of the front cover 11 in the vehicle width direction at the same number and at the same intervals in accordance with the mounting holes 53, and nut holes provided in the head pipe 7 also in the vertical direction. The same number and the same interval are provided in accordance with 55. Therefore, the attachment position of the hook 15 can be adjusted in both the vehicle width direction and the vertical direction. In addition, since the interval between the two hooks 15 can be freely changed in the vehicle width direction, it is easy to change the support span of the two hooks 15 with respect to the suspension member 17.

  In addition, through holes 57 are provided on the side surface of the front cover 11 at the same number and at the same intervals in the front-rear direction portion 52 in accordance with the same positions in the front-rear direction. By providing the same number and the same interval in the direction, the attachment position of the loading member 13 with respect to the side surface of the front cover 11 can be attached by arbitrarily adjusting the front and rear and the top and bottom.

Thus, to cover the mounting member 50 in the front cover 11 is a body cover, the mounting holes 53 provided in the portion opposite to the mounting portion of the hook 15 and the luggage hanging member 13, hooks 15 and through the mounting holes 53 When the loading member 13 is attached, the attachment member 50 can be supported by the vehicle body frame (head pipe 7) and the vehicle body cover (front cover 11), and the rigidity of the attachment member 50 can be increased.

  FIG. 7 shows an attached state of the loading member 13. The loading member 13 can be attached to the vehicle width direction portion 51 and the hook 15 can be attached to the front-rear direction portion 52 as desired. When two or more loading members 13 are provided with an interval in the vertical direction, two or more mounting members 50 are attached in two or more stages, or the front-rear direction portion 52 is arranged in the vertical direction. This is possible by providing a different type of device that is expanded.

  FIG. 8 schematically shows an example of use when the suspension member 17 is different in length. First, A is the case where the suspension member 17 is the shortest. In this case, it is only necessary to hang the upper part of the suspension member 17 on the left and right hooks 15, and the baggage such as a bag 16 is supported away from the step floor 3 upward. Is done. A slight change in the length of the suspension member 17 can be easily dealt with by changing the support span by changing the attachment positions of the left and right hooks 15.

  B in the figure is a case where the length is too long to be supported by the support spans of the left and right hooks 15. In this case, the lower loading member provided on both side surfaces of the front cover 11 with the upper part of the suspension member 17. Multiply by 13. In this way, the support span is longer than that of the left and right hooks 15, and the suspension members 17 are extraneous between the left and right loading members 13 as much as the suspension members 17 are wound from the back of the front cover 11 to both sides. Will pull on.

  For this reason, the position of the load 16 can be raised upward. In addition, by hanging the suspension member 17 on the loading member 13 provided on both side surfaces of the front cover 11, the luggage 16 is pulled forward and is more closely attached to the back surface of the front frame cover 12. Can be firmly fixed, and can be supported more stably against shaking during running.

  C is a case where the suspension member 17 is longer than B. At this time, the suspension member 17 is hung on the lower loading member 13 provided on both side surfaces of the front cover 11 and the front cover. The part which is turning to the back of 11 is also hung on the left and right hooks 15. Since the left and right hooks 15 are at a higher position than the lower loading member 13, even if the suspension member 17 is long enough to prevent the load 16 from being fixed in B, the increased length is transferred to the left and right hooks 15. The luggage 16 can be absorbed and can be firmly fixed.

  D is a case where the suspension member 17 is longer than C and the load 16 is insufficiently fixed in C. At this time, the hanging member 17 is hung on the lower loading member 13 provided on both side surfaces of the front cover 11 and also on the upper loading member 13. In this way, since the hanging member 17 is hung between the upper and lower load hanging members 13 on the left and right side surfaces of the front cover 11, the slack of the hanging member 17 can be eliminated and the luggage 16 can be firmly fixed.

  In any case of the BCD, even if the hanging member 17 changes to be longer or shorter, the hooking length can be adjusted so as to eliminate the slack of the hanging member 17, so that the luggage 16 is always placed above the step floor 3. Since the front frame cover 12 can be fixed so as to be in close contact with the back of the front frame cover 12, it can be stably supported so that the luggage 16 does not shake even when the vehicle is shaken in the front-rear and lateral directions.

FIG. 9 shows another example of use, in which the front basket 60 and the rear basket 61 are attached using the loading member 13 and the spare loading member 29.
Since the front basket 60 is formed with two stays 62 and 63 that obliquely fall to the left and right of the bottom surface and protrude rearward, the stays 62 and 63 are attached together when the upper and lower loading members 13 are attached to the side surfaces of the front cover 11. It can be fixed by the loading member 13. For this reason, the front basket 60 can be easily attached using the attachment of the loading member 13.

  At this time, since the mounting position of the loading member 13 can be adjusted in the height and the front-rear direction, the mounting position of the loading member 13 can be freely changed according to the positions of the stays 62 and 63 of the front basket 60. it can. Further, the loading member 13 used for attaching the front basket 60 can be used as a loading member as shown in FIG. 8 with the front basket 60 fixed.

The same applies to the rear basket 61. By attaching a stay 64 that protrudes diagonally downward from the left and right of the bottom portion to the rear frame 6 side with the front and rear spare loading members 29, the rear basket 61 can be easily attached to the vehicle body. Can do.
If it does in this way, storage containers etc., such as front basket 60 and rear basket 61, can be attached to vehicles using loading member 13 provided in the side of vehicles as a fastening member. Therefore, variations can be given to the use of the loading member 13.

In addition, if the stay 64 is a second attachment portion for detachably attaching the spare loading member 29 from the outside of the vehicle at the rear portion of the vehicle body frame, the second attachment portion is attached to the spare loading member 29. It can be used as a product, improving usability.
In addition, even when the spare loading member 29 is not used for loading, the loading members 13 and 29 can be attached to the front and rear of the vehicle so that the loading members 13 and 29 can function as vehicle accents. Since the appearance of the vehicle can be changed according to the preference of the vehicle, the attachment to the vehicle can be enhanced.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and applications can be made within the principle of the invention.
For example, the attachment member 50 is not necessarily a strip-shaped member, and may be a cast or the like. In this case, the attachment member 50 may be formed integrally with the head pipe 7. Further, the mounting holes 53 are not provided in a horizontal row, but may be formed in a plurality of rows and a plurality of rows vertically and horizontally. Furthermore, it is sufficient that the number of mounting holes 53 and the number of hooks 15 are two or more, and the numbers are arbitrary. In addition, the front-rear direction portion 52 may be on either the left or right side of the vehicle body.

Further, the mating member provided with the attachment member 50 is not limited to the head pipe 7, but may be a part of the front frame 5 that rises upward in front of the step floor 3 and has a certain degree of rigidity. However, it is desirable that the position be as high as possible in order to allow a sufficient margin for the suspended height.
