Description

DESCRIPTION

Motorcycle rear fairing

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present application refers to a rear fairing for motorcycles that has a retractable area that unfolds to form a closed storage area of the trunk type.

STATE OF THE ART

Multiple types of trunks or trunks for motorcycles are known in which users can store the helmet or other objects.

Conventionally, these trunks or trunks are not part of the fairing, but rather are independent elements that are mounted permanently on the rear fairing, although due to their poor aerodynamics they produce vibrations and worsen driving. All this together with its aesthetic impact makes this type of trunk not the most suitable.

Application US6116064A is also known, which discloses a fan-folding trunk box.

The applicant is not aware of any rear fairing with a retractable storage area similar to the invention.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of a rear fairing with a retractable storage area according to the first claim. Its different variants solve the problems outlined.

The rear fairing of the invention has a retractable area formed by a base, walls and a cover.

The base is a firm, generally horizontal surface that is attached to the rear or subframe of the motorcycle. The walls and the cover are movable elements so that they can go from a retracted position to a deployed position.

In the retracted position, the cover is on a plane superior to the base and flush with the rear fairing, forming part of it. This makes it possible that, when the storage area is not being used, the motorcycle is like it does not have a trunk or anything added, thus having good aerodynamics. In this recessed position the walls are folded between the cover and the base.

To move to the unfolded position, simply pull the cover, and thus unfold the walls creating the storage space, which can have different levels. In this unfolded position the walls remain in a substantially vertical position and are attached to the base. The cover may be completely independent of the walls or be partially attached to the walls by hinge or otherwise.

In the deployed position the cover can assume an open position or a closed position.

In the closed position, the cover is positioned substantially horizontally on the walls so as to snap, by zipper, lock or the like, to create a closed enclosure formed by the base, the walls and the cover. This closed enclosure is intended to house the motorcycle helmet or other objects, for which it has a greater volume.

To save or remove objects from the storage area, the cover must be separated or opened from the walls, moving to the open position.

In one embodiment, the retractable storage area has a number of deployed positions. In this case, the walls can be deployed reaching different heights in which the cover can be placed in the closed position, so that the user can regulate the storage volume that he needs at any time.

One of the advantages of the invention is that the unfolded position can be used not only when the motorcycle is parked, but also when it is in circulation, and since the retractable area is positioned on the rear fairing, it can be used in the unfolded position even when it is being used. carries a passenger (figure 7).

Additionally, security closure elements may be provided. In this case, the walls and the cover each have cooperating security closure elements so that only the user or authorized users can access the storage area.

Other variants can be seen in the rest of the report.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

For a better understanding of the invention, the following figures are included.

Figure 4: General perspective view of an embodiment, showing the rear fairing with the retractable area deployed, at a raised height.

Figure 5: General perspective view of an embodiment, showing the rear fairing with the retractable area deployed with the cover open.

Figure 6: General perspective view of an embodiment, showing the rear fairing with the retractable area folded with a helmet inside.

Figure 7: General perspective view of an embodiment, showing the rear fairing with the retractable area deployed and retracted towards the rear to make room for a passenger.

MODES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the invention will be briefly described below, as an illustrative and non-limiting example thereof.

Figure 1 shows an embodiment comprising a motorcycle with a rear fairing in which the retractable storage area is in the retracted position.

In this figure it can be seen how the retractable storage area does not alter the aerodynamics of the motorcycle when it is not in use, since the cover (3) remains flush in this position with the rest of the fairing, forming part of it and making passenger seat function.

Figure 2 shows the embodiment of Figure 1 in which the retractable storage area is in the deployed position.

Here it can be seen that the base (1), which is fixed inside the fairing, remains in a substantially horizontal position, in a lower plane than the upper surface of the fairing. The walls (2) have been deployed to a vertical position and the cover (3) is partially attached to the walls (2) in its open position, which allows the introduction of objects into the storage area.

Claims (5)

1. - Motorcycle rear fairing characterized in that it has a retractable area composed of: A firm or mobile base (1) attached to the rear of the motorcycle or subframe, folding walls (2) and a cover (3), with a retracted position, in which the cover (3) is flush with the rear fairing in a plane higher than that of the base (1) and the walls (2) are folded between the cover (3) and the base (1), and a deployed position, where the cover (3) is in a plane higher than that of the Rear fairing and the walls (2) are deployed in a substantially vertical position and attached to the base (1), on the walls the cover (3) is articulated, fitted or otherwise supported, forming the base (1), the walls (2) and the cover (3) a closed storage area accessed by totally or partially separating the cover (3) from the walls (2). 2. - Rear fairing according to claim 1, wherein the closed enclosure formed in the deployed position has a volume greater than a motorcycle helmet. 3. - Rear fairing according to claim 1, in which the walls (2) and the cover (3) each have cooperating safety closure elements. 4. - Rear fairing according to claim 1, in which the walls (2) unfold to a variable height. 5. - Rear fairing according to claim 1, in which the assembly can be retracted in an unfolded position to make room for a passenger and thus have the storage space.
