Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tank bag detachably attached to a fuel tank of a motorcycle by a magnet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is publicly known that a magnet is provided on a tank back, and the magnet is magnetically attached to the fuel tank so as to be detachably mounted on the fuel tank. In this case, another magnet was applied to the back side of the fabric of the tank bag, and the periphery was sewn on to fix the magnet. In addition, the fabric of the tank bag was sometimes subjected to slip processing so as to prevent the painted surface of the fuel tank from being easily scratched.

[0003]

By the way, when the magnet is attached to the cloth by stitching as in the above-mentioned conventional example, a lot of man-hours are required for the attachment, so that improvement of the attachment structure has been demanded. Further, if the surface of the fabric is simply slip-resistant, sand dust, especially hard sand iron mixed therein, may enter between the fabric and the fuel tank, possibly damaging the coated surface. Therefore, the present invention aims to solve these problems.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a tank back for a motorcycle according to the present invention has a map pocket provided on a side surface facing an occupant when it is mounted on a fuel tank and used. One of the features is that one side of the map case is attached to the vicinity of the opening, the map case is taken out from the map pocket when used, and is spread on the side surface, and stored in the map pocket when not in use.

[0005]

According to the present invention, a bag-shaped magnet storage portion having one end opened is provided between two pieces of cloth on the side to be attached to the fuel tank, and the magnet is housed therein and the cloth on the inner side is housed therein. Since the iron mounting member is magnetically attracted by sandwiching, the magnet is fixed to the inner cloth by the mounting member. For this reason, the time and effort required for fixing by sewing as in the prior art are not required, the mounting and replacement can be performed quickly and easily, and the mounting position of the magnet can be changed at any time.

In addition, if the material of the fuel tank is made of mesh, the sand dust entering the surface of the fuel tank will enter the mesh of the mesh, and the coated surface will not be easily damaged. In particular, sand iron mixed in sand dust is adsorbed to the surface of the magnet from the mesh due to the magnetic force of the magnet, so that the possibility of scratching the painted surface by hard sand iron is significantly reduced.

The upper portion of the front side wall 26 is openably and closably connected to the upper surface 10 via the fastener 11, and the fastener 11 serves as an opening of the main body storage portion 28. Further, the lower portion of the front side wall 26 is sewn to the bottom portion 27 together with the lower portion of the partition wall 22 and the fastener 4.

The upper surface 10 covers the upper surface of the body of the tank back 1 to the upper left and right halves, and the bottom 27 covers the lower surface of the main body of the tank back 1 to the lower left and right halves, and is sewn at the left and right middle portions. The front end portions of the upper surface 10 and the bottom portion 27 are sewn to the mesh 21 that has been subjected to appropriate sliding processing.

Inside the mesh 21, a lining cloth 30 is partially sewn to form a magnet pocket, in which a magnet 24 is housed and fixed by a mounting cap 31, and the tank 24 is fueled by the magnet 24. It is removable from the tank T. Furthermore, lining cloth 30
A partition plate 32 made of a cushion material or the like is inserted into the inside of the main body accommodating portion 28 so that the contents of the main body accommodating portion 28 do not come into direct contact with the mounting cap 31 of the magnet 24.

As shown in FIG. 3 and the like, the stitching of the mesh 21 and the lining cloth 30 is performed by forming a plurality of vertical stitch lines 35 extending in the up-down direction at appropriate intervals in the left-right direction (width direction) and intersecting them at right angles.

By forming 6, the plurality of compartments for the magnets 24 are formed on the entire mounting surface 20, and the magnets 24 are housed therein.

As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, and in particular as clearly shown in FIG. 5, the map case 7 is a flexible transparent bag-like member having a substantially rectangular shape, and an opening portion which is opened and closed by a fastener 7a is provided on the upper portion thereof. The upper side portion above the fastener 7a is sewn to the front side wall 26. A map can be taken in and out by opening the fastener 7a in the map case 7, and the map inserted inside the map case 7 can be seen.

The map case 7 can be formed by using a known transparent resin such as vinyl chloride, and can be stored in the map pocket 9 or the lower side can be taken out from the map pocket 9 and hung down on the lid 2. Yes (Figure 6). Also, when the map case 7 is larger than the map pocket 9, the bottom side is appropriately folded and the map pocket 9 is folded.
It can also be stored inside if necessary.

FIG. 8 is a view showing the coin holder 3 from the direction indicated by the arrow A in FIG. 7. The coin holder 3 is made of a suitable hard resin, and is opened upwards and has a different width U.
A plurality of V-shaped grooves are provided, and coins are inserted into the grooves. The coin holder 3 is provided side by side with the small ticket holder 17, and the small ticket holder 17 and the coin holder 3 are formed on the large ticket holder 25. The small ticket holder 17 can store a relatively small piece of paper such as a passing ticket through the opening 18, and the large ticket holder 25 can store a relatively large piece of paper such as a banknote through the opening 19. .

As shown in FIG. 1, the mounting surface 20 side of the tank back 1 corresponds to the curved surface of the fuel tank in this portion so that it can be mounted on the slope descending backward formed on the upper surface of the rear portion of the fuel tank T. Although the center portion in the left-right direction is substantially flat (FIG. 4), the left and right sides are bent downward in a substantially dog-legged shape in a side view as shown in FIGS. It forms an inclined surface 29b.

FIG. 9 shows how to attach the magnet 24. The magnet accommodating portion formed between the mesh 21 and the lining cloth 30 by the vertical stitching line 35 and the horizontal stitching line 36 is in the shape of a bag, and one end thereof is the mounting surface. An opening 33 that is open upward or downward is formed, and the magnet 24 having a substantially flat cylindrical shape can be taken in and out through the opening 33.

As is apparent from FIG. 11, the mounting cap 31 for mounting the magnet 24 includes the magnet 2
4 is an iron member having an annular flange 32 so that the mounting cap 3 can be placed over the lining cloth 30.
By covering 1 on the magnet 24, it is magnetically coupled to the magnet 24 with the lining cloth 30 interposed therebetween.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, when the mounting surface 20 of the tank back 1 is used as a tank back mounted on the fuel tank T, the front side faces the occupant. The coin pocket 8 can be opened by opening and opening the lid 2, coins can be put in and taken out from the coin holder 3, and tickets and the like can be put in and taken out from the openings 18 and 19 of the large and small ticket holders 17 and 25. You can easily complete the tasks such as payment of fees.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, since the map case 7 is sewn to the tank back 1 side only at the upper side, the fastener 6 (FIG. 4) is opened to open the lid 5,
By removing the map case 7 from the map pocket 9, it can be unfolded on the lid 2, and the map inside can be immediately seen.

The map case 7 can be taken out of the map pocket 9 only when necessary and can be stored in the map pocket 9 when it is not used, so that it is not visible. The design of the tank back 1 when it is not used. Can be improved. Further, since it can be folded and stored in the map pocket 9 if necessary, it becomes easy to store a large map by making the map case 7 large. Moreover, since the fastener 7a is provided on the upper portion, the fastener 7
If a is closed, the map inside will not accidentally drop off.

Furthermore, when the lid 2 is opened while the map case 7 is being used, the structure is such that the lid 2 is flipped upward, so that the map case 7 and the lid 2 are shown together.
If it is turned up in the direction of arrow B, it becomes easy to use the coin holder 3 and the like in the coin pocket 8 even when the map case 7 is in use, and the usability is improved.

To mount the magnet 24, as shown in FIG. 10, the magnet 24 is inserted through the opening 33 of the magnet housing, and the mounting cap 31 is attached to the lining cloth 3.
When the magnet 24 is put on the magnet 24 from above, as shown in FIG. 11, one side of the magnet 24 fits inside the partition plate 32 of the mounting cap 31 together with the lining cloth 30, and the magnet 24 and the mounting cap 31 line the lining. By sandwiching the cloth 30, the magnet 24 can be fixed to the lining cloth 30.

Therefore, the attachment of the magnet 24 becomes extremely easy. Moreover, since the magnet 24 can be freely taken in and out from the opening 33, not only the attachment of the magnet 24 but also the replacement thereof can be facilitated. In addition, the magnet storage portion is formed by simply sewing the mesh 21 and the lining cloth 30 vertically and horizontally with the vertical stitching line 35 and the horizontal stitching line 36 to partition the magnet 21. Since it is unnecessary, the attachment of the magnet 24 is also easy in this respect.

Further, since the magnet 24 can be freely moved within the magnet housing by simply removing the mounting cap 31,
Since the position of the magnet 24 can be changed according to the shape of the fuel tank to which it is attached, the magnet position can be easily adapted to multiple models having different fuel tank shapes, increasing versatility. In addition, the mounting cap 31 is made of iron and the partition plate 32 covers the periphery of the magnet 24, so that the magnetic force of the magnet 24 can be increased and the attraction force to the fuel tank T can be increased.

Further, when the mounting surface 20 thus formed is mounted on the fuel tank T by the magnetic force of the magnet 24 as shown in FIG. 1, the magnet 24 is connected via the mesh 21 as shown in FIG. It comes into contact with the surface of the fuel tank T. For this reason, since the magnet 24 does not directly contact the fuel tank T, the painted surface formed on the surface of the fuel tank T is less likely to be damaged.

Moreover, even if the dust 34 and the like are present on the surface of the fuel tank T, they enter the mesh of the mesh 21 so that they are formed on the surface of the fuel tank T even if the magnet 24 is strongly attracted by the magnetic force. It is difficult to scratch the painted surface. Particularly, when sand iron is mixed in the dust 34, the sand iron can be positively attracted to the magnet 24 through the mesh of the mesh, so that the sand iron that easily damages the painted surface should not be interposed between the mesh 21 and the fuel tank T. Therefore, the coated surface of the fuel tank T is less likely to be damaged than in the conventional case where the surface of the fabric is simply slipped. Further, by interposing the mesh 21, it is possible to easily separate the tank back 1 from the fuel tank T when the tank back 1 is removed.

The invention of the present application is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible within the same principle of the invention. For example, the mounting cap is not always necessary, and a simple disk-shaped member may be used. The material may be a magnetic material.
