Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a windshield device used in a motorcycle or the like having a built-in rearview mirror.

<Prior art> Motorcycles are equipped with windshields called fairings and cowlings, and such windshields are also installed on vehicles such as tricycles and snowmobiles. Windshields reduce air resistance and protect occupants from wind pressure while driving. used for

By the way, when installing a rear view mirror or turn signal light on a motorcycle, conventionally the rear view mirror was installed in front of the grip of the handle pipe so that it protruded laterally to the left and right, while on the other hand, a windshield was installed at the front of the vehicle body. In this case, the rearview mirror protrudes outward from the windshield as a completely heated separate body, creating wind resistance and causing turbulence around the rearview mirror, which is also one of the causes of rearview mirror vibration. At present, attempts have been made to install a rearview mirror close to the windshield, but the same problems as above have not been solved because the rearview mirror and lamp are separate from the windshield.

In addition to the above, since the rear photo frame protrudes from the outside of the windshield via the stay, it looks strange to the windshield, and there is even a risk that the overall design and appearance may be impaired.

<Object of the Invention> The present invention has been made to improve the above-mentioned disadvantages, and its purpose is to improve the performance of motorcycles and the like equipped with windshields.
By reducing air resistance caused by rear view mirrors and lighting equipment as much as possible, or eliminating it altogether, we aim to reduce air resistance and improve high-speed running performance. We provide a windshield device that can improve performance and design, and we also aim to reduce air resistance, improve appearance and design of lighting equipment such as turn signal lights and vehicle side lights in the same way as above, and also reduce parts.
