Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a footrest provided in a motorcycle or the like.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in motorcycles and the like in which an occupant rides while riding on a seat, a rod-shaped footrest having a rod-shaped body protruding to the side of the vehicle body is widely used.

Incidentally, this type of footrest is extremely important for stabilizing the lower back and upper body when resting the feet, and conventionally, it is fixedly attached at the position below the seat where it is most convenient to use.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, with such a structure, the foot positions are determined in a fixed manner even though the physiques of the occupants are different, and there is a problem in that the occupants cannot necessarily ride in a comfortable posture. Additionally, this is a cause of fatigue when driving for long periods of time, and this is particularly a problem as the number of women who drive motorcycles has been increasing in recent years, and there is a physical difference between them and men.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a footrest mounting structure that allows a rider to ride in a comfortable posture. The footrest mounting structure according to the present invention is such that a bracket that rotatably holds the rotor is provided with a fixing means for fixing the rotor, and the footrest is mounted at a position offset from the center of rotation of the rotor.

[Effect]

In the present invention, the footrest is moved in the circumferential direction by rotating the rotor.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, its configuration and the like will be explained in detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. Fig. 1 is a side view showing a footrest mounting structure according to the present invention, Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line n-■ in Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 shows a part of a motorcycle on which the footrest mounting structure has been implemented. In the side views shown, the reference numeral 1 in these figures indicates a frame. This frame 1 forms a tank rail 3 that supports a fuel tank 2, and a space between which and this tank rail 3 accommodates an engine 4. down tube 5,
It is comprised of a backstay 7 and the like that connects the down tube 5 and a seat rail (not shown) that supports the seat 6. The backstay 7 extends upward below the seat 6.

A bracket 10 is attached to the rear side of the back stay 7, which is a part of the frame 1, with a bolt 11. This bracket 10 has a triangular shape when viewed from the side, and is provided with a holding hole 12 and a holding hole 13 that penetrate in the vehicle width direction at locations corresponding to the mounting positions of footrests for the driver and rear passenger, which will be described later. . Rotors 14 and 15 having rotational axes in the vehicle width direction are rotatably held in these holding holes 12 and 13, respectively.

Reference numeral 16 indicates a footrest for the driver's vehicle attached to the rotor 14, and reference numeral 17 indicates a footrest for a rear passenger attached to the rotor 15. These footrests 1-16 and 17 are rod-shaped footrests in which the step rod is covered with a step rubber made of an elastic material such as rubber, and the base end has a mounting bolt 1.
8 is provided protrudingly.

Reference numeral 20.21 denotes a mounting hole through which the footrest 16.17 is mounted so as to protrude in the vehicle width direction by passing through the mounting hole 1-18 rotatably in the vehicle width direction.
．． It is drilled at a position offset from the center of rotation of 15. 2
2 is screwed into the mounting bolt 18, and the footrest 16, 17 is connected to the rotor 14 via the bush 23 and washer 24.
．． This is a nut that is tightened to 15.

A bolt 26 constitutes a fixing means for fixing the rotor 14, and is screwed into a screw hole 27 communicating between the inside of the holding hole 12 and the outside, and is provided on the bracket 1o, and is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the rotor 14. This prevents the rotor 14 from rotating. On the other hand, the fixing means for fixing the rotor 15 is the holding hole 13.
It is constructed by cutting a part of the bracket 1o in the axial direction and fastening the cut edges 28a and 28b provided on the bracket 1o with bolts 29. That is, the bracket 10 is made elastically deformable by cutting, and the inner circumferential surface of the holding hole 13 and the outer circumferential surface of the rotor 15 are pressed against each other to prevent rotation.

In the footrest mounting structure configured in this way, the footrest 16 for the driver can be moved in the circumferential direction by loosening the bolts 26 and rotating the rotor 14, and also by tightening the bolts 26. This allows the footrest 16 to be fixed arbitrarily.

To be more specific, the mounting center of the footrest 16 can be set at any position on the circumference indicated by mA, and the front and back and up and down positions of the footrest 16 can be changed.

Therefore, by moving the mounting position of the footrest 16,
The driver's foot position can be changed to a comfortable position depending on the physique of the driver.

The same applies to the footrest 17 for the rear passenger; by loosening the bolt 29 and rotating the rotor 15, the attachment center of the footrest 17 can be set at any position on the circumference indicated by the chain line B. The foot position of the passenger can be changed to a comfortable position according to the physique of the passenger.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, the fixing means for fixing the rotor to the bracket that rotatably holds the rotor is provided, and the footrest is mounted at a position offset from the rotation center of the rotor. By rotating the footrest, the footrest can be moved in the circumferential direction.

Therefore, the foot position can be changed according to the physique of the occupant, so that the occupant can ride in a comfortable posture.
