Description

The present invention relates to a meter stay support structure.

Conventionally, a structure in which a meter stay is fixed to the top bridge has been known as a front body structure for motorcycles (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Patent No. 4341840

However, in the conventional structure described above, the indicator is fixed only to the meter stay, and vibration of the stay supporting the meter cannot be suppressed.

The present invention was made in consideration of the above situation, and aims to provide a meter stay support structure that can suppress vibration of the stay that supports the meter.

A meter stay support structure (22) according to one aspect of the present invention includes a pair of front forks (3), a top bridge (21) attached above the pair of front forks (3), a lamp body (40) having an elastic portion (41) attached to each of the pair of front forks (3), and a stay (23) extending from the top bridge (21) in the vehicle body forward direction and supporting a meter (29). The stay (23) has a bridge fastening portion (24) that can be fastened to the top bridge (21) and a lamp body fastening portion (25) that can be fastened to the elastic portion (41). The elastic portion (41) has a fastening portion (50) fixed in an annular shape along an outer circumferential surface (3a) of the front fork (3), and a protruding portion (51) that protrudes from the fastening portion (50) toward a lower side of the top bridge (21) in a radial direction. The bridge fastening portion (24) of the stay (23) is fastened to the top bridge (21). The lamp body fastening portion (25) of the stay (23) is fastened to the protruding portion (51).

According to this configuration, the stay is fixed to the top bridge and the elastic portion. That is, the stay is supported not only by the top bridge but also by the elastic portion of the light body. As a result, in a structure in which the meter stay support structure is attached to a vehicle, the vibration of the vehicle is transmitted to the elastic portion through the front fork, but the vibration transmitted to the elastic portion is absorbed by the elastic portion. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the generation of vibration in the meter supported by the stay.
In particular, since the meter is heavy and attached to the tip of the stay, it is prone to vibration. According to the meter stay support structure having the above configuration, even if such a meter is attached to the stay, the occurrence of vibration in the meter can be suppressed.

In the meter stay support structure (22) according to one aspect of the present invention, the bridge fastening portion (24) may have a first hole (24H) through which the first inserting member (75) can be inserted. The lamp fastening portion (25) may have a second hole (25H) through which the second inserting member (73) can be inserted. The bridge fastening portion (24) may be fastened to the top bridge (21) by the first inserting member (75) inserted through the first hole (24H). The lamp fastening portion (25) may be fastened to the elastic portion (41) by the second inserting member (73) inserted through the second hole (25H). The direction (DR) in which the first inserting member (75) is inserted through the first hole (24H) may be different from the direction (D1, D2) in which the second inserting member (73) is inserted through the second hole (25H).

This configuration makes it possible to realize a stay that includes a bridge fastening portion and a lamp fastening portion. The bridge fastening portion can be fastened to the top bridge by a first insertion member that is inserted through the first hole. Furthermore, the lamp fastening portion can be fastened to the elastic portion by a second insertion member that is inserted through the second hole. In this structure, the load of the stay can be distributed to the top bridge and the elastic portion. Furthermore, since the direction in which the first insertion member is inserted through the first hole is different from the direction in which the second insertion member is inserted through the second hole, rotation and vibration of the stay can be suppressed compared to a structure in which the stay is fixed by an insertion member that is inserted through a hole in only one direction.

In a meter stay support structure (22) according to one aspect of the present invention, the lamp fastening portion (25) may have a first lamp fastening portion (25F) and a second lamp fastening portion (25S). In a plan view seen in the axial direction of the front fork (3), the insertion direction (D1) of the second insertion member (73) inserted into the second hole (25H) of the first lamp fastening portion (25F) may be different from the insertion direction (D2) of the second insertion member (73) inserted into the second hole (25H) of the second lamp fastening portion (25S).

With this configuration, the stay is fixed to the elastic portion by the first lamp body fastening portion and the second lamp body fastening portion, so the stability of the fastening structure of the stay can be improved. Furthermore, the vibrations that occur around the insertion direction of the second insertion member in the first lamp body fastening portion and the second lamp body fastening portion can cancel each other out. Since the stay is fixed to the elastic portion by a fastening structure with two different insertion directions, the stability of the fastening structure of the stay can be improved.

In the meter stay support structure (22) according to one embodiment of the present invention, in the axial direction of the front fork (3), the front fork (3) may have an upper region (33) to which the top bridge (21) is attached, and a lower region (36) to which the underbridge (31) is attached. The elastic portion (41) may be attached to the upper region (33) of the front fork (3).

With this configuration, the elastic portion is provided in the upper region, which is close to the top bridge, so the distance between the bridge fastening portion and the lamp fastening portion can be reduced. The stay that includes the bridge fastening portion and the lamp fastening portion can be made smaller.

In one embodiment of the meter stay support structure (22) of the present invention, the position (P1) of the lamp fastening portion (25) may be on the opposite side of the bridge fastening portion (24) from the position (P2) of the meter (29) in the forward direction of the vehicle body.

With this configuration, the stay is fixed to the top bridge and the elastic part so that the bridge fastening part is located between the lamp body fastening part and the meter. In other words, the bridge fastening part functions as a fulcrum. Since vibrations are absorbed by the elastic part, it is possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of vibrations in the meter located on the opposite side to the elastic part.

In one aspect of the meter stay support structure of the present invention, the stay is fixed to the top bridge and the elastic part, so vibration of the stay that supports the meter can be suppressed.

The top bridge 21 has screw holes 21H for fixing the bridge fastening portion 24 to the top bridge 21. In the example of the bridge fastening portion 24 shown in Figures 2 and 3, the number of screw holes 21H is two, but the number of screw holes 21H for fastening the bridge fastening portion 24 to the top bridge 21 may be two or more.

<Front turn signals>
The front blinker 40 is an example of a lamp body.
The front blinkers 40 are symmetrical with respect to the center line CL. In other words, the front blinkers 40 are composed of a right blinker 40R positioned in the right direction RH and a left blinker 40L positioned in the left direction LH.
In the following description, the left blinker 40L may be referred to in order to explain the structure of the front blinker 40. Since the structure of the left blinker 40L is also applied to the right blinker 40R, the description of the right blinker 40R may be omitted.

The front blinker 40 includes a blinker holder 41 and a blinker body 43. The front blinker 40 includes a harness that supplies power to the light-emitting portion of the front blinker 40. The harness is not shown in the figure. It is attached to the upper regions 33R and 33L of the front forks 3R and 3L.

The turn signal holder 41 includes a fastening portion 50 and a support portion 52. The turn signal holder 41 is made of an elastically deformable material such as rubber. In other words, the turn signal holder 41 is an example of an elastic portion. The turn signal holder 41 is attached to each of the pair of front forks 3R, 3L. In other words, the turn signal holder 41R located in the right direction RH is attached to the front fork 3R, and the turn signal holder 41L located in the left direction LH is attached to the front fork 3L.

The fastening portion 50 has a cylindrical outer peripheral surface. The fastening portion 50 has a constant width in the axial direction DR, and is formed in an annular shape along the outer peripheral surface 3a of the front fork 3. The fastening portion 50 has a protrusion 51 that protrudes from the fastening portion 50 toward the outside in the radial direction. The protrusion 51 has a front protrusion 51A and a back protrusion 51B. The protrusion 51 is located below the top bridge 21 in the axial direction DR. Here, the front protrusion 51A may be referred to as the first protrusion. The back protrusion 51B may be referred to as the second protrusion.

The front protrusion 51A and the back protrusion 51B are spaced apart from each other by, for example, about several millimeters. The front protrusion 51A has a front through hole 51C. Here, the front through hole 51C may be referred to as a first through hole.
The rear surface protruding portion 51B has a rear surface through hole 51D. Here, the rear surface through hole 51D may be referred to as a second through hole.
The center of the front through hole 51C and the center of the back surface through hole 51D are substantially aligned. A fastening bolt 73 can be inserted into the front surface through hole 51C and the back surface through hole 51D. The back surface protruding portion 51B has a surface on which a fastening nut 74 is disposed.

The surface protrusion 51A has a surface that comes into contact with the turn signal fastening portion 25 of the stay 23, which will be described later. The fastening bolt 73 is inserted through the back surface through hole 51D and the surface through hole 51C and fastened to the fastening nut 74. With this fastening structure, the fastening portion 50 applies a fastening force to the front fork 3 so as to surround the outer peripheral surface 3a of the front fork 3. As a result, the fastening portion 50 fixes the front turn signal 40 to the front fork 3.

The support portion 52 protrudes in the vehicle width direction LH from the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the fastening portion 50. The support portion 52 is formed in a tubular shape having an elliptical cross section, and extends in the vehicle width direction LH. The turn signal body 43 is attached to the support portion 52. The turn signal body 43 has a turn signal case 82, a turn signal lens 83, and a light-emitting portion 84.

In this embodiment, a front blinker 40 in which the blinker holder 41 and the blinker body 43 are separate is applied to the motorcycle 1. This structure is not limited to this, and the blinker holder 41 and the blinker body 43 may be integrated.

<Stay>
The stay 23 has a structure for supporting the meter 29, and therefore can be called a meter stay.
The stay 23 extends from the top bridge 21 in the vehicle body forward direction FR. The stay 23 has a meter support portion 26, a bridge fastening portion 24, and a turn signal fastening portion 25. The bridge fastening portion 24 and the turn signal fastening portion 25 are formed by bending a single metal plate by a known method such as sheet metal working. The meter support portion 26 is joined to the bridge fastening portion 24 by a known method such as welding.

The processing method of the meter support portion 26, the bridge fastening portion 24, and the turn signal fastening portion 25 is not limited to the above method. The bridge fastening portion 24 and the turn signal fastening portion 25 may be joined by welding. At least two of the meter support portion 26, the bridge fastening portion 24, and the turn signal fastening portion 25 may be molded by casting.

The meter support part 26 has a generally U-shape. The shape of the meter support part 26 may be a shape other than a generally U-shape. The meter support part 26 detachably supports the meter 29 in the forward direction FR of the vehicle body. Note that a structure in which the meter 29 is fixed to the meter support part 26, that is, a structure in which the meter support part 26 and the meter 29 are integrated, may be adopted.

The bridge fastening portion 24 is a portion that can be fastened to the top bridge 21 .
The bridge fastening portion 24 has a first hole 24H through which the fastening bolt 75 can be inserted. The fastening bolt 75 is an example of a first insertion member. The fastening bolt 75 can also be referred to as a fastening member. The fastening bolt 75 is inserted into the first hole 24H in the axial direction DR and is screwed into a screw hole 21H provided in the top bridge 21. As a result, the bridge fastening portion 24 is fastened to the top bridge 21 by the fastening bolt 75 inserted into the first hole 24H.

The turn signal fastening portion 25 is an example of a lamp body fastening portion. The turn signal fastening portion 25 is a portion that can be fastened to the turn signal holder 41. The turn signal fastening portion 25 has a first turn signal fastening portion 25F and a second turn signal fastening portion 25S. The first turn signal fastening portion is an example of a first lamp body fastening portion. The second turn signal fastening portion is an example of a second lamp body fastening portion.
The turn signal fastening portion 25 can be fastened to the surface protrusion 51A which is a part of the tightening portion 50 constituting the turn signal holder 41. In other words, the first turn signal fastening portion 25F can be fastened to the turn signal holder 41R, and the second turn signal fastening portion 25S can be fastened to the turn signal holder 41L.

The bridge fastening portion 24 is fastened to the top bridge 21, and the turn signal holder 41 is fastened to the turn signal fastening portion 25, so that the stay 23 is fixed to the top bridge 21 and the turn signal holder 41.

The turn signal fastening portion 25 has a second hole 25H through which the fastening bolt 73 can be inserted. The fastening bolt 73 is an example of a second insertion member. The fastening bolt 73 can also be called a fastening member. The fastening bolt 73 is inserted through the back surface through hole 51D of the back surface protrusion 51B, the front surface through hole 51C of the front surface protrusion 51A, and the second hole 25H of the turn signal fastening portion 25, and is fastened to the fastening nut 74. In other words, the back surface protrusion 51B, the front surface protrusion 51A, and the turn signal fastening portion 25 are sandwiched between the fastening bolt 73 and the fastening nut 74.

More specifically, in the fastening structure using the fastening bolt 73 and fastening nut 74, the bolt head of the fastening bolt 73 is pressed against the back surface protrusion 51B. The fastening nut 74 presses the turn signal fastening portion 25 against the front surface protrusion 51A. As a result, the turn signal fastening portion 25 is fixed to the tightening portion 50 of the turn signal holder 41 by the fastening bolt 73 inserted through the second hole 25H.

In a plan view from the axial direction DR, the insertion direction of the fastening bolt 73 inserted into the second hole 25H of the first turn signal fastening portion 25F is indicated by the symbol D1. The insertion direction of the fastening bolt 73 inserted into the second hole 25H of the second turn signal fastening portion 25S is indicated by the symbol D2. The insertion direction D1 and the insertion direction D2 are different from each other.

The direction in which the fastening bolt 75 is inserted into the first hole 24H of the bridge fastening portion 24 is the same as the axial direction DR. Therefore, the direction in which the fastening bolt 75 is inserted into the first hole 24H is different from the insertion directions D1 and D2.

Furthermore, in a plan view seen from the axial direction DR, the position P1 of the turn signal fastening portion 25 in the vehicle forward direction FR is on the opposite side of the bridge fastening portion 24 from the position P2 of the meter 29.

<Action and effect>
According to the meter stay support structure 22 of the embodiment described above, a structure can be obtained in which the stay 23 is fixed to the top bridge 21 and the turn signal holder 41 functioning as an elastic part. That is, the stay 23 is supported not only by the top bridge 21 but also by the turn signal holder 41 of the front turn signal 40. As a result, vibrations generated in the motorcycle 1 are transmitted to the turn signal holder 41 through the front fork 3, but the vibrations transmitted to the turn signal holder 41 are absorbed by the turn signal holder 41 formed of an elastically deformable material. Therefore, the generation of vibrations in the meter 29 supported by the stay 23 can be suppressed.

Furthermore, the front blinker 40 is composed of a blinker holder 41 and a blinker body 43. Therefore, the vibration transmitted to the blinker holder 41 is transmitted from the blinker holder 41 to the blinker body 43, and the transmitted vibration is converged in the blinker body 43. In other words, the front blinker 40 has the effect of converging the vibration.

It is also possible to realize a stay 23 that includes a bridge fastening portion 24 and a turn signal fastening portion 25. The bridge fastening portion 24 can be fastened to the top bridge 21 by a fastening bolt 75 inserted through the first hole 24H. Furthermore, the turn signal fastening portion 25 can be fastened to the turn signal holder 41 by a fastening bolt 73 inserted through the second hole 25H. In this structure, the load of the stay 23 can be distributed to the top bridge 21 and the turn signal holder 41. Furthermore, since the direction DR in which the fastening bolt 75 is inserted through the first hole 24H is different from the insertion directions D1 and D2 in which the fastening bolt 73 is inserted through the second hole 25H, the occurrence of rotation and vibration of the stay 23 can be suppressed compared to a structure in which the stay is fixed by a fastening bolt that is inserted through a hole in only one direction.

Since the stay 23 has the first turn signal fastening portion 25F and the second turn signal fastening portion 25S, the stability of the fastening structure of the stay 23 can be improved. Furthermore, the insertion direction D1 of the fastening bolt 73 inserted into the second hole 25H of the first turn signal fastening portion 25F is different from the insertion direction D2 of the fastening bolt 73 inserted into the second hole 25H of the second turn signal fastening portion 25S. In other words, the insertion direction D1 is not parallel to the insertion direction D2. This allows the vibrations generated around the insertion direction D1 and the vibrations generated around the insertion direction D2 to cancel each other out. Since the stay 23 is fixed to the turn signal holder 41 by a fastening structure in which the insertion direction D1 and the insertion direction D2 are different, the stability of the fastening structure of the stay 23 can be improved.

Since the elastic portion is provided in the upper region 33, which is located near the top bridge 21, the distance between the bridge fastening portion 24 and the turn signal fastening portion 25 can be reduced. Furthermore, the stay 23 including the bridge fastening portion 24 and the turn signal fastening portion 25 can be made smaller.

Position P1 of the turn signal fastening portion 25 is on the opposite side of position P2 of the meter 29 relative to the bridge fastening portion 24. This results in a structure in which the stay 23 is fastened to the top bridge 21 and the turn signal holder 41 so that the bridge fastening portion 24 is located between the turn signal fastening portion 25 and the meter 29. In this structure, the bridge fastening portion 24 functions as a fulcrum. Since vibrations are absorbed by the turn signal holder 41, the occurrence of vibrations in the meter 29 located on the opposite side of the turn signal holder 41 can be effectively suppressed.

In the above-described embodiment, the fastening bolt 73 and the fastening nut 74 are exemplified as the fastening members, but other members such as a clip, a rivet, a turnbuckle, etc. may be used as the fastening member. In addition, the fastening bolt 73 passes through the front through hole 51C and the back through hole 51D, but the fastening bolt 73 does not have to pass through the front through hole 51C and the back through hole 51D.
Vehicles to which the present invention is applicable include not only motorcycles (including motorized bicycles and scooter-type vehicles), but also three-wheeled (including vehicles with one front wheel and two rear wheels, as well as vehicles with two front wheels and one rear wheel) or four-wheeled vehicles.

<Modifications of Insertion Member>
In the above-described embodiment, a structure in which the fastening bolt 73 is used as the second insertion member and the fastening bolt 75 is used as the first insertion member has been described. In other words, a fastening structure using an insertion member having a thread groove formed on the surface of a cylindrical rod-shaped member has been described. The structure of the insertion member is not limited to this structure.

As the structure of each of the first and second insertion members, for example, an arrowhead member having an arrowhead portion formed at the tip of a rod-shaped member may be adopted. In this case, the arrowhead member has a cylindrical rod-shaped portion and an elastically deformable arrowhead protrusion portion formed at part of the tip of the rod-shaped portion and protruding axially outward from the rod-shaped portion. The arrowhead protrusion portion has an inclined portion that inclines toward the tip of the rod-shaped portion and a hook portion located on the opposite side of the inclined portion from the tip of the rod-shaped portion.

Next, a fastening structure using an arrowhead member according to a modified example instead of the fastening bolt 73 will be described.
In the following description, the rear surface through-hole 51D and the front surface through-hole 51C may be simply referred to as a through-hole. The front surface protrusion 51A and the rear surface protrusion 51B may be simply referred to as a protrusion. The insertion direction into the through-hole is, for example, an insertion direction D1. The description of insertion in the insertion direction D2 is omitted.

First, the arrowhead member is inserted into the through hole in the insertion direction D1. At this time, the inclined portion of the arrowhead protrusion comes into contact with the inner edge of the through hole, causing the inclined portion of the arrowhead protrusion to deform and the radial dimension of the arrowhead protrusion to decrease. Once the arrowhead protrusion has been inserted into the through hole, the contact state of the arrowhead protrusion with the inner edge of the through hole is released. Due to the action of the restoring force of the arrowhead protrusion, the arrowhead protrusion expands and the radial dimension of the arrowhead protrusion becomes larger than the diameter of the through hole.

In this state, when a force is applied to pull the arrowhead member out of the through hole in the direction opposite to the insertion direction D1, the hook portion of the arrowhead protrusion catches on the protrusion. This makes it impossible to remove the arrowhead member from the through hole, and a stable fastening structure using the arrowhead member is obtained. Therefore, even in a fastening structure using the arrowhead member, the turn signal fastening portion 25 can be fastened to the turn signal holder 41.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it should be understood that these are illustrative of the present invention and should not be considered as limiting. Additions, omissions, substitutions, and other modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention should not be considered as limited by the above description, but is limited by the scope of the claims.
