Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to the structure of a seat portion in a small vehicle such as a motorcycle.

Prior Art In a motorcycle, particularly a scooter-type motorcycle, a storage chamber with an open top is provided in a body panel under the seat of the vehicle, and the top opening of the storage chamber can be opened and closed using the seat as a lid. Conventionally, such a small vehicle is known, and for example, such a small vehicle is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 108086/1986.

In this vehicle, a sealing member is provided between the flange portion along the upper opening of the storage chamber and the peripheral side wall of the seat bottom plate in order to prevent water or the like from entering the storage chamber from the outside.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, when a seal member is provided between the storage chamber and the seat as described above, the structure of the seat section tends to become complicated.

In addition, small vehicles are often equipped with grab rails that extend rearward from the seat so that the rear of the vehicle can be lifted by hand. Since the grab rails are provided together with the grab rails, it is easy for water to travel along the surface of the grab rails and enter the storage chamber during car washing or the like.

Therefore, the present invention effectively prevents water from entering the storage compartment from the grab rail portion, particularly in a small vehicle equipped with a grab rail as described above, by a simple means that does not require a sealing member. The aim is to obtain a sheet structure that can be obtained.

Means and Effect for Solving the Problems Therefore, in the present invention, an article storage chamber is provided below the seat, the upper opening of the article storage chamber is covered by the sheet, and both sides of the sheet are In a seat structure for a small vehicle in which a grab rail is disposed along the inner side of the seat, a water-shielding piece is provided on the upper edge of the portion of the grab rail that extends along the seat, and projects outward along the upper edge.

According to the present invention, water that rises along the outer surface of the grab rail during car washing, etc. and attempts to enter the interior by exceeding its upper edge is blocked by the water shielding piece provided along the upper edge. Since the water is turned over and falls downward along the outer surface of the grab rail, this water does not enter the article storage chamber.

Embodiments Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a side view of the seat portion of a scooter type motorcycle, where 1 is a frame body and 2 is a body panel. Figure 2 shows the skeleton of this scooter type motorcycle, and as can be seen from the figure, a low floor part 3 is provided in front of the body panel 2 (not shown in Figure 2). Furthermore, a control section 4 having a handle (not shown) and the like mounted thereon stands up in front of the control section 4. A seat 5 is placed on the upper part of the body panel 2, and the front end of the seat 5 is pivotally connected to the upper front end of the body panel 2 via a hinge member 6, and can be opened and closed up and down centering on the front end. It is attached freely. 7 is the bottom plate of the sheet.

An article storage box 8 is located below the seat 5 in a portion surrounded by the body panel 2, and is provided with bolts 9 and nuts 1.
0 (FIG. 2) and is fixed to the frame body 1. The upper surface of this article storage box 8 is an opening 11, and the sheet 5 serves as a lid member that covers the opening.By opening the sheet 5 upward as described above, the article storage box is opened through the opening 11. Items can be taken in and taken out at 8. In this embodiment, a partition plate 12 extends rearward from the rear side of the opening 11, and a fuel tank, for example, is installed below the partition plate 12. The bolts 9 pass through bolt holes provided in the partition plate 12. A barrier 12a projecting upward is provided between the opening 11 and the partition plate 12. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, a folded part 13 is provided at the edge of the opening 11 from both sides toward the front, and when the seat 5 is closed, the bottom plate 7 is folded into this folded part. 13 is becoming closer.

Side pieces 14 are provided on both sides of the front part of the partition plate 12, which are formed by raising the edge of the partition plate 12 upward, then bending it back and folding it back downward. And the grab rail 15 is the front left and right arm part 1.
5a, 15a (FIGS. 2 and 4) are provided with their inner surfaces aligned with the outer surface of the side piece 14. The grab rail 15 is attached to the frame body 1 at the rear via a bracket 16, and at the front via a bracket 17 by tightening together with the partition plate 12 using the bolts 9 and nuts 10. .

A stepped portion 18 extending in the front-rear direction is formed on the outer surface of the arm portion 15a of the grab rail 15.
As shown in FIG. 6, the side portion 5a of the seat 5 is located outside the upper portion that is biased inwardly through the stepped portion 18, and the grab rail 15 is inserted into the side portion 5a from the rear. It is shaped like this. arm part 1
The upper edge of 5a is bent outward, thereby forming a water shielding piece 19 projecting outward along the upper edge. And this water shielding piece 19 and the arm part 1
A groove 20 is formed on the outer surface of the arm portion 15a by the upper portion of the arm portion 5a and the stepped portion 18, and extends from the rear to the front and is bent downward at the front end.

Since this embodiment is configured as described above,
Water that flows along the outer surface of the grab rail 15 during a car wash or the like and attempts to cross the upper edge of the arm portion 15a and enter the inner article storage box 8 is blocked by the water shielding piece 19, This water is guided by the groove 20, flows forward, and falls downward from the front part of the arm portion 15a, as shown by the water droplet 21 in FIG. Note that the arm portion 15a is placed along the side piece 14, so when gripping the grab rail 15 and performing various operations, place your hand across the arm portion 15a and the side piece 14 at this location. When you operate it, it's easy to handle and the grip is really good. For this purpose, a hole 22 is provided in the body panel 2 for inserting a hand (FIG. 1).

In the above-described embodiment, the water-shielding piece 19 is formed by simply folding back the upper edge of the arm portion 15a outward, but the shape of the water-shielding piece 19 may be arbitrary.
For example, as shown in FIG. 7a, the outwardly folded edge may be further bent upward. Also, the seventh
As shown in FIG. b, a water-blocking piece 19 made of rubber or resin and separate from the arm piece 15a may be fixed along the upper edge of the arm piece 15a.

FIG. 8 shows another embodiment of the article storage box. This article storage box 8A does not have a partition plate 12 like the article storage box 8, and has an opening 11 extending to the rear. A side piece 14A similar to the side piece 14 is continuously formed over the entire mouth edge of the rear extension portion 11A of the opening. This side piece 14
When the seat 5 is for two people, A can also be used as a grip for a fellow passenger seated in the rear seat.

Effects of the invention As described above, in the present invention, an article storage chamber is provided below the seat, the upper opening of the article storage chamber is covered by the sheet, and the sheet is placed along the inside of both sides of the sheet. In the seat structure of a small vehicle equipped with a grab rail, a water-shielding piece is provided on the upper edge of the portion of the grab rail along the seat that protrudes outward along the upper edge. Intrusion of water into the storage chamber can be effectively prevented by a simple structure that does not require a sealing member.
