Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a meter visor mounting structure for a motorcycle or the like.

Meters of motorcycles, etc. are provided at the center of the handlebar or in front of the handle, with the display surface of the meters facing diagonally rearward and upward, and in the case of motorcycles with fairings, a windshield faces around the meters.
Meters are illuminated at night, but there are disadvantages such as the illumination light reflecting off the surrounding windshield and the display surface being difficult to see during the day due to sunlight.

In order to solve this problem, a meter visor is provided to cover the upper and side parts of the meter unit at a distance, but the conventional method of installing a meter visor is to provide mounting stays on both sides of the visor and attach and support the handle to the meter visor. Because it is tied to and supported by a bracket provided on the top bridge,
First, there are disadvantages such as an increase in the number of parts and the necessity of mounting and assembling these parts.

The present invention has been devised in view of the above, and its purpose is to provide a mounting section on a meter unit, and to directly attach and support the meter visor that covers the upper and side surfaces of the meter unit to the meter unit via the mounting section. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a meter visor mounting structure for a motorcycle, etc., which is capable of simplifying the meter visor mounting structure, reducing the number of parts, and improving ease of installation and assembly.

Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic side view of a motorcycle 1, in which a front fork 4 supporting a front wheel 5 is supported on a head tube 3 at the front end of a frame 2 via upper and lower bridges 6, 7 so as to be freely steerable. An engine 8 is mounted and supported at the lower front part of the frame 2, and a fuel tank 9 is mounted and supported at the upper part.A seat 10 is mounted on the rear part, and a rear fork supports a rear wheel 12 from the rear part of the front lower part of the frame 2. 11 is pivoted and extended.

A support stay 13 is interposed between the front portions of the top bridge 6 and the bottom bridge 7. Support stay 1
3 is formed, for example, by bending a round bar into a reverse concave shape from the front, and the lower end portions 13b of the left and right side rod portions 13a are fitted into the locking recesses 7a provided on the left and right sides of the bottom bridge 7, and the locking flange portions 13c Stop with the side rod part 13a
The base portion 14a of the meter bracket 14 is joined to the horizontal rod portion connecting the upper end portions 13d, and the rearward extending piece 14b of the bracket 14 is stacked on the stepped portion 6a provided on the front portion of the top bridge 6, and is secured with the bolt 15. Thus, the stay 13 is attached and supported between the top and bottom bridges 6 and 7 in front.

The bracket 14 is made of a press-formed steel plate material, and a boss portion 16a provided at the bottom of a meter unit 16 consisting of a speedometer, a tachometer, and other instruments is attached to the front end of a front piece 14c that extends forward and upward. 17, 17, and are connected with bolts and nuts 18, and thus the meter unit 16 is mounted and supported by the bracket 14 at the front of the center of the top bridge 6, and the upper surface 16b forming the display surface thereof is arranged to be tilted rearward and upward. Ru. A bracket 19 is provided at the intermediate portion of the left and right side rod portions 13a of the support stay 13 to project forward, and a headlight unit 20 is mounted and supported between the front portions of the bracket 19.

In the case 161 of the meter unit 16 described above, both side parts 162 are, for example, V-shaped with the central part protruding outward in the embodiment, and the upper half part 163 of the side part 162 has a boss projecting outward in the middle part in the front-rear direction. Section 164
, and an upward screw hole 165 is provided therein.
Further, a screw hole 167 is provided at the center of the upper surface 166 of the case 161 in the middle portion in the front-rear direction. Reference numeral 21 denotes a meter visor with a substantially reverse concave front face, and the meter visor 21 includes an intermediate portion 211 that covers the top surface of the case 161, and side pieces 212, 212 that slope outward at both ends, and the front and back direction corresponds to the front and back direction of the case 161. longer than the dimensions of The middle part 2 of such a meter visor 21
A mounting hole 213 corresponding to the screw hole 167 is provided in the center portion of 11, and a mounting hole 214 corresponding to the screw hole 165 is provided in the side piece 212. Inward recess 2
It is provided at the bottom of 15.

The above meter visor 21 is connected to the meter unit 16.
The front part 211a of the intermediate part 211 and the front part 212a of the side piece part 212 protrude forward by a predetermined length from the display surface 16b, and the rear part 211b of the intermediate part 211 and the rear part of the side piece part 212 21
2b protrudes below the display part 16b by a predetermined length, and screws the screws 22 through the respective mounting holes 213, 214 and screw holes 167, 165 to secure the visor 2.
1 to the case 161. In this way, each part 211, 212 of the meter visor 21 overlaps the top surface 166 and the upper side half part 163 of the case 161, and the front part protrudes forward from the display surface 16b to prevent solar radiation and reflection, and the rear part of the meter visor 21 serves as the display part. The bracket 16b protrudes downward and covers the bracket 14, bolts and nuts 16, etc. that protrude from the bottom of the meter unit 16 to maintain its aesthetic appearance.

In the embodiment, the headlight unit 20, its bracket 19, the meter unit 16, the meter visor 21, and its bracket 14 are covered with a fairing 23, and the handle 2 is mounted on the top bridge 6 via the upper and lower handle brackets 24.
5 is mounted and supported.

The fairing 23 is as shown in FIG.
Fits into the front outer periphery of the headlight unit 20,
The extending upper part of the felling 23 is formed of a windshield 23a made of a transparent member.

Fig. 4 shows a modified embodiment of the meter visor, in which the mounting holes 1213 and 1214 of the visor 121 are formed as long holes in the front and back direction, and when installed, the meter visor is moved back and forth within the range of the long holes, so that the visor can be seen from the meter unit display surface. The amount of protrusion can be adjusted according to the physique of the occupant.

As is clear from the above, according to the present invention, since the meter visor is screwed directly to the main body of the meter unit through the hole, there is no need for brackets specific to the meter visor, and there is no need for brackets for supporting the meter visor. First, the number of parts can be reduced, and the length of the meter visor in the front and back direction is longer than that of the case, which prevents solar radiation and reflections on the meter display surface, and protects the attachments below the meter unit. Since the view through the windshield is blocked, it has many advantages, such as reducing man-hours, ensuring safe driving for passengers, and preserving the aesthetic appearance from the front.
