As described above, since the left cover 134 is inclined so that the outer part in the vehicle width direction is further forward, the left cover is inclined so that the outer part in the direction

35 vehicle width is higher in the fully open state in a rear view as shown in Fig. 6. Thus, as the left cover 134 is longer in the 17

image14

vehicle width direction, in comparison to a box in which the left cover is arranged horizontally in the rear view, the area of the upper face 158 is larger and the space can be secured to provide the concave portion for the support of drink 160.

5

In addition, since the outer part in the vehicle width direction of the left cover 134 is further forward in top view, a large distance between the left cover 134 and the seat 10 can be ensured. Thus, the area of the left cover 134 can be enlarged and the space can be secured to provide the concave portion for the beverage holder 160. In addition, as the concave portion for the beverage holder 160 is installed on the side of the outer end in the width direction of vehicle from the left cover 134, the space to provide the concave portion for the beverage holder 160 can be easily secured, distance between the passenger's foot seated in the seat 10 and the concave portion for the beverage holder can be ensured 160, and it

15 can easily arrange the concave portion for the beverage holder 160.

Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view seen along line VIII-VIII shown in Fig. 4.

20 As shown in Figs. 4 to 8, the arm 156 of the left cover 134 is extended upwardly from the upper face 158 at the rear of the rotation axis 149. A hooked adjustment part 161 to adjust the adjusted part 157 of the cantilevered wall 143 is formed at one end of the arm 156. The arm 156 is curved to be an arc of circumference having the axis of rotation 149 in the center.

25 The adjusted portion 157 of the cantilever wall 143 is provided with a hole 157A in which the arm 156 is inserted and a concave portion 157B formed on the upper side of the hole 157A and made concave on the rear side. In the closed state of the left cover 134, the arm 156 is inserted into the depth of the hole 157A and

30 when the left cover 134 is opening, the arm 156 moves in the hole 157A. When the left cover 134 is fully open, the adjustment portion 161 of the arm 156 fits into the concave portion 157B from the inside and positions the left cover 134 in a fully open position.

A protuberance 156A (see Fig. 8) protruding outward in a radial direction is formed on an outer face of a circumferential arc-shaped arm base

P201330570

156. The protuberance 156A has a height that can be adjusted at a lower end 162 of the wall having the concave portion 157B and is positioned such that the protrusion reaches the lower end 162 and moves when the left cover is pressed by a default load In the state in which the left cover 134 is

5 fully closed, the protuberance 156A is located on the upper side of the lower end 162 of the concave portion 157B and when the left cover 134 is opening, the protuberance reaches the lower end 162 and moves down.

In detail, when the left pressure-opening lid 134 is

10 pressed once, a latch is released and the left cover rotates in an open direction by its own weight, however, when the protuberance 156A is touched at the lower end 162, the rotation stops and the left cover 134 rotates to a been slightly open. When the passenger or another person rotates the left cover 134 in the direction open strongly with the predetermined load, the protuberance 156A reaches the lower end 162 and the left cover

15 134 opens fully. As described above, when the left cover 134 is not fully open at a time and that the rotation in progress is stopped by arranging the protuberance 156A when the left cover 134 is pressed by mistake, the ease of use of the left cover is improved. 134

20 Likewise, a contact part 163 is formed that projects forward and upward from the upper face 158 in the open state on the axis of rotation 149. The contact part 163 is extended in the vehicle width direction along of an axial direction of the rotation axis 149.

A support face 164 on which an end 163A of the contact part 163 rests in the state in which the left cover 134 is fully open is formed on the lower side of the fitted part 157 on the cantilever wall 143. The support face 163 is inclined upwards towards the rear. In addition, a recess 165 to avoid the contact portion 163 protrudes forward in the state in which the left cover 134 is

Closed 30 is formed on the lower side of the support face 164 of the cantilevered wall 143.

In the state in which the left cover 134 is completely open, as the end 163A of the contact part 164 rests on the support face 164, a rotated position of the left cover 134 is maintained in a substantially horizontal state. How has it

35 described above, as both the contact portion 163 and the arm 156 receive a load from the left cover 134, the support stiffness of the left cover 134 in state 19

image15

Open can be improved, and even if the beverage D is placed in the concave portion for the beverage holder 160, the left lid 134 can be maintained in a substantially horizontal open state.

5 As shown in Fig. 1, the passenger R opens the left cover 134 in a state in which he is sitting in the seat 10 in a state in which the motorcycle 1 is parked with the main stand 39 or the side stand 47 and can place the beverage D in the concave portion for the beverage holder 160 of the upper face 158. In this embodiment, as the left cover 134 is disposed in a position higher than an upper face of the

10 front seat 10A, the passenger R can place the drink D in the concave portion for the beverage holder 160 by simply extending the arm without flying it forward much, and the drink D. can easily be placed as well as the concave portion for the beverage holder 160 it is installed outside in the vehicle width direction, its knee is not an obstacle and the beverage D. can be easily placed.

In addition, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the concave portion for the beverage holder 160 is overlapped by the opening 142 of the article housing 132 in a top view and an upper portion of the beverage D placed in the concave portion for the beverage holder 160 is located in the space in an upper part of the article housing

20 132. As described above, as the concave portion for the beverage holder 160 is disposed in a forward position overlapped by the opening 142, the distance between the left cover 134 and the seat 10 can be secured and the space to provide the concave portion for the beverage holder 160 in the concave portion for the beverage holder 160 which uses the space in the housing of

25 article 132.

In addition, the left cover 134 is supported by the rotation axis 149 on the central side in the vehicle width direction and is extended outside in the vehicle width direction, and the concave portion for the beverage holder 160 is installed at 30 a position that is capable of being influenced by the deflection of the left cover 134 on the side of the outer end in the vehicle width direction of the left cover 134. Thus, as the concave portion for the support of Drink 160 can be displaced vertically by the deflection of the left lid 134, the beverage can be placed in the concave portion for the beverage holder 160 by deflecting the left lid 134 down

35 even if drink D is high.

Next, the configuration of the upper housing 145 will be described in detail.

Fig. 9 is a plan view in which the upper housing 145 is viewed from above. Fig. 10 is a cross-sectional view seen along the line X-X in Fig. 9. 5 Figs. 9 and 10 show states in which the upper cover 139 is removed.

As shown in Figs. 9 and 10, tray 144 is provided with a substantially rectangular flat bottom (a bottom wall) 167, a frame-shaped side wall 168 disposed at a bottom margin 167 in a top view and a flange 169

10 extended outside from an upper edge of the side wall 168, and is formed by resin. An upper face of the tray 144 is open and the bottom 167 is exposed upwards. Likewise, an opening 170 that communicates with the opening 142 is formed in the front part of the side wall 168, and the support 147 slides through the opening 170 and is extracted to the outside.

Fig. 11 is a perspective view in which the upper housing 145 is seen from the lower side.

As shown in Figs. 9 to 11, a support housing in the form of frame 171

20 open towards the rear is formed in the tray 144 by cutting a part of the flat bottom 167 and the support 147 is installed in the support housing 171 with the support embedded in the cut-out part. The support 147 configures a part of the bottom 167 being arranged in the support housing 171. As described above, as the support 147 is installed in a place where a part of the bottom is clipped, the

The width of the interior of the upper housing 145 is greater than that of the support 147. Thus, the mobile terminal P larger than the support 47 can also be housed in the upper housing 145.

In this case, the mobile terminal P in the form of a hosted article indicates a cell phone, a

30 smart phone or portable electronic equipment such as a portable navigation system and personal digital agendas (PDA).

A stepped part obtained by making the bottom 167 concave by means of a level is formed in the entire margin of the support housing 171 of the tray 144. In detail, the stepped parts in the right and left margins of the support housing 171 are parts of lane 167A (see Fig. 11) extended longitudinally and the

image16

stepped part extended laterally in the front part of the support housing 171 is a locking part 167B (see Fig. 10) that locks the support 147.

Likewise, longitudinally extended ribs 172 are formed on the lower sides 5 of the rail portions 167A at the bottom 167. A stop 172A which further protrudes downwards is formed at a rear end of each rib 172.

The support 147 is a plate made of resin and formed in a substantially rectangular shape in a top view. Several holes 147A in the form of an opening to make

10 the upper housing 145 and the main housing 146 communicate are formed in the support 147. Also, reinforcement ribs 173 are formed in the bottom of the support 147 in mesh fabric. The right and left edges of the support 147 function as guide parts 174 mounted on the rail parts 167A of the support housing 171.

A pair of struts 175 extended downwardly are formed at the bottom at a leading end of the support 147, and a check plate 176 extended laterally substantially parallel to the support 147 is disposed at the ends of the struts 175 and is fixed at the ends of the straps 175 by screws 176A.

20 A straddle-mounted part 177 mounted on the locking part 167B of the support housing 171 is formed at the front end of the support 147.

The support 147 is slidably supported longitudinally by mounting the guide parts 174 in the rail parts 167A of the tray 144. A sliding mechanism 185

25 which slides the support 147 in opposition to the tray 144 is configured by the rail parts 167A of the tray 144 and the guide parts 174 of the support 147 and when the support 147 is pulled back, the support 147 is exposed in the exterior of article housing 132.

Also, when the support 147 is mounted on the rail portions 167A, an upper face of the support 147 and an upper face of the bottom 167 are substantially at the same level.

The support 147 is slidably positioned in the support housing 171

35 keeping the ribs 172 between the check plate 176 installed by a slight gap with the bottom of the ribs 172 and the guide parts 174. In a state in which the bracket 147 slides to the rearmost position, when the check plate 176 rests against the stop 172A, a position of the support is regulated.

image17

Also, support 147 is locked with support housing 171 when the part

5 astride mounting 177 at the end is astride the locking part 167B. In the astride mounting part 177, the thickness of the astride mounting part and the adjustment part is positioned such that the support 147 can be frictionally blocked between the astride mounting part 177 and the blocking part 167B . Also, the left cover 134 is located near a rear end of the support

10 147 in the closed state. In this way, the support 147 can be locked with the support housing 171 by the left cover 134.

The support 147 is provided with a pair of upward and right-hand protuberances 178 extended upwardly at the rear end which is one end on the side of the

15 opening 142 and is provided with a downward protrusion 179 extended downwardly between the upwardly protuberances 178 in the vehicle width direction.

The upward protrusions 178 support the mobile terminal P arranged in the support

147. As shown in Fig. 10, as bottom 167 of support 147 and support 147

20 are tilted downwards, the mobile terminal P is carried on the side of the protrusions up 178 because of the inclination and its lower end is supported by the protrusions up 178. As described above, as the terminal mobile P is carried on the side of the protuberances up 178 because of the inclination and are usually located near the opening 142, the

25 mobile terminal P can be easily removed.

Likewise, the passenger can easily slide the support 147 by grasping the protrusion up 179 with the hand and pulling it and the operability is satisfactory.

30 In addition, a power supply cable 182 (see Fig. 9) of the mobile terminal P which is passed between the pair of upright and left protuberances 178, is passed between the support 147 and the left cover 134, and also It can be connected to a power supply 180 (see Fig. 12) described below.

35

Fig. 12 is a cross-sectional view seen along line VII-VII in Fig. 4. 23

image18

Fig. 13 is a cross-sectional view seen along line XIII-XIII in Fig. 6. Fig. 14 is a cross-sectional view seen along line XIV-XIV in Fig.

7. In Fig. 4 the left cover 134 has been omitted.

5 As shown in Figs. 12 to 14, in a top box 155 of the main housing 146 on the bottom side of the bracket 147, the power supply 180 connected to a battery (not shown) of the vehicle is installed. The power supply 180 is installed near the outside in the vehicle width direction on a wall at an upper part of the rear in the main housing 146 and is arranged in

10 opposed to the opening 142. In detail, a cantilever wall 146A protruding from the side of the opening 142 is formed in the upper part of the rear part in the main housing 146 and the power supply is installed in the wall in overhang 146A. As described above, as the power supply 180 is installed in the cantilever wall 146A, the cylindrical power supply 180 elongated at

15 The longitudinal direction can be arranged in the front cover 130 without being cantilevered on the front side, the power supply 180 is brought close to the opening 142, and the power cable 182 is easily connected.

As shown in Figs. 9, 11 and 12, a recess 181 to make the housing

Upper 20 147 and the main housing communicating is formed at the bottom 167 of the tray 144. The recess 181 is formed at a rear end of a rail part 167A located inside in the direction of the vehicle width outside the parts. of lane 167A that configure the sliding mechanism 185.

25 The power cable 182 (see Fig. 9) connected to the power supply 180 is led to the upper housing 145 through the recess 181 and is connected to the mobile terminal P. As described above, as the power source Power 180 is installed in the main housing 146 which has a large capacity and the power cable 182 is led to the upper housing 145 through the recess 181, the

Electrical power can be supplied to the mobile terminal 145. Since the front part of the recess 181 is open and connects to the opening 142, the support 147 on which the mobile terminal P is arranged can slide even if the power cable 182 is connected to mobile terminal P.

35 In the state in which the left cover 134 is open, the passenger can accommodate the mobile terminal P in the upper housing 145 by sliding the support 147 and pulling back, 24

image19

grabbing the protuberance down 179, depositing the mobile terminal P in the support 147 and pushing the support 147 into the support housing 171 as shown in Fig. 4. Next, the left cover 134 closes. To remove the mobile terminal P, the left cover 134 opens and only the support 147 has to be removed.

5

In this embodiment, since the mobile terminal P can be housed in the upper housing 145 configured by the upper cover 139 whose upper wall is transparent, the passenger R sitting in the seat 10 can see a state of the mobile terminal P by the upper cover

139. Likewise, as the mobile terminal P can be placed or removed in the housing

10 top 145 just by sliding the support 147 through the opening 142 of the article housing 132, the mobile terminal P. can easily be accommodated.

Likewise, as the upper cover 139 which is arranged on the lateral side of the steering shaft 9, is installed on the lower side of the handlebar 25 and is inclined downwards.

15 towards the rear in side view, the passenger R in the seat 10 can easily see the upper cover 139. In this way, the mobile terminal P housed in the upper housing 145 can be easily seen by the upper cover 139. In addition, the mobile terminal P can be accommodated in the upper housing 145 that the passenger R can easily see.

20 As shown in Figs. 6 and 14, as the lower wall 132A of the article housing 132 is located on the lower side of the lower end 142A of the opening 142 and the article housing is formed elongated in the longitudinal direction, the large capacity is assured, however, the light barely reaches the lower wall 132A and the side of the lower wall 132A can be difficult to see. In this embodiment, as the light reaches the

25 article housing 132 through the transparent upper cover 139 and the box-shaped opening of the support housing 171 from the upper side by sliding the support 147 backwards, the side of the lower wall 132A can be easily seen.

Fig. 15 is a perspective view showing a state in which the upper cover 30 139 and tray 144 are removed.

As shown in Figs. 6 and 15, tray 144 is coupled to the upper part of the back of the upper box 155 of the article housing 132 and the side wall 168 of the tray 144 forms a side wall of the upper part of the article housing

35 132. Tray 144 is mounted in the upper case 155 and in a state in which the tachymeter deflector 137 and the upper inner cover 53 are fixed to the body of 25

P201330570

vehicle, only the tray can be separated.

Also, the upper cover 139 is provided with a rear wall 186 fixed to an upper part of the cantilever wall 143 of the upper inner cover 53 as shown in Fig. 5 and is fixed thereto to the upper inner cover 53 by a screw (not shown) inserted into a fixing hole 186A of the rear wall 186. The fixing hole 186A is covered and hidden by the left cover 134 in the state in which the left cover 134 is closed and exposed in the outside when left cover 134 is open. The upper cover 139 can be easily separated from the vehicle body by removing the screw.

10 That is, the upper cover 139 and the tray 144 can be easily separated from the vehicle body. As shown in Fig. 15, in a state in which the upper cover 139 and the tray 144 are separated, an internal space K inside the front cover 130 is exposed outside and a worker can access a

15 part such as a valve 63A of the flashing light 63 disposed in the internal space K. Thus, the interior of the front cover 130 can be easily maintained and the maintenance is satisfactory

According to the first embodiment, as the upper cover 139 which is the upper wall of the

20 article housing 132 is formed by a transparent member, the tray 144 is installed next to the upper cover 139 in the article housing 132 on the lower side of the upper cover 139, the support 147 on which the mobile terminal is arranged P is installed in tray 144, sliding mechanism 185 is provided which slidably supports support 147 for tray 144 and exposes the support

25 147 out of the opening 142 of the article housing 132 when the support is slid, the mobile terminal P disposed in the support 147 of the tray 144 in the article housing 132 can be verified through the transparent top cover 139, the mobile terminal P can be placed or removed in / from the support 147 exposed outside the opening 142 by the sliding mechanism 185, and the mobile terminal P can be placed or

30 extract easily.

Likewise, since the upper cover 139 of the article housing 132 is arranged on the lateral side of the steering shaft 9 that configures the center of the rotation of the handlebar 25, it is placed on the lower side of the handlebar 25 and is inclined downwards backwards in the

35 side view, the transparent upper cover 139 is oriented to the passenger side in the seat 10 and the visibility of the mobile terminal P is satisfactory. 26

P201330570

02-26-2014

Furthermore, since the bottom 167 of the tray 144 is formed to be flat, and a part of this plane is divided and the support 147 is formed, the mobile terminal P larger than the dimension of the support 147 can be placed or removed in / from the tray side 144.

5 Furthermore, since the bottom 167 of the tray 144 is tilted downwards in the side view and the mobile terminal P is carried on the side of the opening 142 due to the inclination, the mobile terminal P can be easily removed.

Also, as the upper cover 139 is removably arranged in the housing of

10 article 132, the tray 44 is removably disposed in the upper box 155 of the article housing 132 on the lower side of the upper cover 139 and the interior space K inside the front cover 130 is exposed on the upper side of the housing of article 132 in the state in which the upper cover 139 and the tray 144 are separated, the maintenance of a part inside the front cover 130, by

15 example valve 63A, is satisfactory.

Furthermore, in the configuration in which the lower wall 132A of the article housing 132 is disposed on the lower side of the lower end 142A of the opening 142 of the article housing 132, the depth of the article housing 132 is difficult to see,

20 however, as the light enters the article housing 132 by the transparent upper cover 139 by removing the support 147 with the help of the sliding mechanism 185, the depth of the article housing 132 can be easily seen.

In addition, the mobile terminal P may be supported on the support 147 by the pair of

25 protuberances up right and left 178 extended upwards, the downward protuberance 179 can be used as a knob when the support 147 is slid, and the ease of use of the support 147 can be improved with a simple configuration.

30 Likewise, as the support housing 171 that houses the support 147 is formed by trimming the tray 144 and a state is maintained in which the support 147 is housed in the tray 144 while the astride mounted part 177 at the end of the support astride the locking part 167 B in the margin of the support housing 171, the support 147 can be held in the tray 144 with a simple configuration.

35

Also, as the recess 181 is arranged in a part of the sliding mechanism 27

image20

185 and the power cable 182 connected to the power supply 180 of the article housing 132 on the lower side of the support 147 can be conducted on the lower side of the support 147 through the recess 181, the power cable 182 can be led to the upper housing 145 on the upper side of the support 147, 5 providing the power supply 180 in the large housing space on the lower side of the support 147 and ensuring ease of connection to the power supply

Fig. 16 is a plan view showing a state in which a ventilation grill

10 200 is fixed to the upper housing 145. Fig. 17 is a cross-sectional view seen along line XVII-XVII in Fig. 16. Fig. 18 is a plan view showing the upper deck 139 Fig. 19 is a cross-sectional view seen along line XIX-XIX in Fig. 18. Figs. 16 and 17 show a state in which the chassis F, the handlebar and others are omitted.

15 As shown in Fig. 16, the tachymeter visor 137 is provided with a front tachymeter visor 137A to which a windshield and a rear tachymeter visor 137B attached to the rear of the front tachymeter visor 137A is attached. . A tachymeter unit 191 (see Fig. 14) indicating the speed and others of the vehicle is

20 exposed upwards from an opening 137C (see Fig. 14) of the rear tachymeter visor 137B disposed in front of the upper covers 139, 140 and is supported by an upper part of the front frame 24.

The upper decks 139, 140 are arranged inclined downwardly backward from the side rear part of the tachymeter unit 191 to the side of the seat 10.

As shown in Figs. 15 and 17, the rear tachymeter visor 137B is provided with an opening in which the tray 144 is mounted and a frame-shaped portion 137B concave by one level, compared to an upper face of the tachymeter visor

30 rear 137B is formed in a margin of the opening. The tray 144 is supported by the rear tachymeter visor 137B touching the flange 169 in the frame-shaped portion 137D from the upper side. The upper cover 139 is substantially at the same level as the upper face around the upper cover of the tachymeter visor 137B when the upper cover is mounted on the frame-shaped part 137D made

35 concave for one level.

image21

As shown in Figs. 16 to 19, the upper cover 139 is provided with a translucent zone 139A so that the opaque zone surrounds the translucent zone 139A, and the vent 200 is arranged on the underside of the translucent zone 139A with the overlapping vent through the translucent zone 139A so that it protects from light

5 transmitted in translucent zone 139A.

As shown in Figs. 9 and 17, a sealing member 201 whose section is substantially rectangular and which is formed of rubber, urethane or others is placed between the upper cover 139 and the tray 144. In detail, a groove of

10 sealing 144A is formed at an upper end of the side wall 168 of the tray 144 around a peripheral edge of the tray 144, the sealing member 201 is mounted within the sealing slot 144A, and the sealing member is arranged in the form of a picture.

15 As shown in Figs. 17 and 19, the upper cover 139 is provided with a protruding sealing wall 202 downwards from the inside of the opaque zone 139B and a marginal wall 203 (a margin of the translucent cover) formed in the margin of the upper cover 139 and located outside the sealing wall 202. In the state in which the upper cover 139 is closed, as a sealed part 204 is formed

20 with a lower end of the sealing wall 202 that rests on an upper face of the sealing member 201, the upper cover 139 and the tray 144 are sealed.

A lower end of the marginal wall 203 is extended to the lower side of the part

25 sealed 204 at a lower end of the entire sealing wall 202. Thus, as water such as rainwater flowing to the lower end of the marginal wall 203 falls downward from the marginal wall 203 and does not reach the sealed portion 204 located in a position higher than the marginal wall 203 , the waterproof property of the upper housing 145 can be improved.

In addition, a projection (see Fig. 18) formed at a front end of the upper cover 139 is mounted on a mounting portion (not shown) of the tachymeter visor 137 in a longitudinal direction and as described above, the upper cover is fixed to the upper inner cover 53 by a screw (not shown)

35 inserted longitudinally into the fixing hole 186A of the rear wall 186. That is, in the first embodiment, as the upper cover 139 which is fixed under pressure 29

acts in the longitudinal direction, the force that compresses the sealing member 201 vertically hardly acts on the sealing member 201, however, since the impermeable property is secured by the marginal wall 203 as described above, the impermeable property can be secured without tightly compressing the sealing member 201. Therefore, a load applied to the sealing member 201 can be reduced. In addition, as the upper cover 139 can be fixed by the screw covered and hidden by the left cover 134 and it is not necessary to install any accessory arranged from the upper side to fix the upper cover 139, the exposure of an accessory is avoided and the aesthetic quality of the upper cover can be improved

10 139.

The upper cover 139 is made of resin and is manufactured by two-color insert molding using a mold. In addition, the upper cover 139 which is laterally asymmetric in a top view, is formed in the form of a box whose bottom is open,

15 and has a relatively complex shape.

The translucent zone 139A of the upper cover 139 is a first resin member made of transparent resin, the opaque zone 139B is a second resin member made integrally forming the two different resin materials by insert molding. Specifically, the upper cover 138 in which the translucent zone 139A and the opaque zone 139B are integrated is first formed by forming the translucent zone 139A which is the first resin member with resin and then injecting resin from the second resin member inside a mold in which the translucent zone 139A is arranged inside. That is, an outer margin of translucent zone 139A and a

25 inner margin of the opaque zone 139B are connected by insert molding. In this case, the order in the insert molding is not particularly limited, the opaque zone 139B is formed first, and the translucent zone 139 can also be formed later.

For a procedure to arrange an opaque part on the transparent top cover

30 139, methods for coating a transparent part and sticking an opaque label on an inner face of the top cover 138 can be devised, however, there is a concept in which it is difficult to uniformly coat the complex shape of the top cover , there is a problem in which the coating is stripped due to deterioration due to the passage of time and friction, in the procedure of bonding the label on the inner face,

The manufacture of the label corresponding to the complex form is difficult, and it is feared that the label has an effect on the impermeable property. However, in the first 30

P201330570

embodiment, since the upper cover 139 is formed by insert molding of the first transparent resin member and the second opaque resin member, the upper cover 139 provided with the translucent zone 139A and the opaque zone 139B can be formed. Also, it is not necessary to provide a member to connect the translucent zone 139A

5 and opaque zone 139B and the number of pieces can be reduced. In addition, the upper cover 139 can be thinned, compared to a box in which the translucent zone 139A and opaque zone 139B are formed separately and the visibility of a housed article and a degree of freedom in the design of the design can be improved. top cover 139.

10 As shown in Fig. 16, a boundary 139C between the translucent zone 139A and the opaque zone 139B of the upper cover 139 is located on the central side of the upper cover 139, compared to the sealing member 201 and the total sealing slot 144A, and the sealing member 201 is covered from the upper side with the opaque zone 139B. Meanwhile, translucent zone 139A is formed in an overlapping position.

15 for substantially all of the support 147 and the passenger R can see the mobile terminal disposed on the support 147 through the translucent zone 139A.

As described above, as the translucent zone 139A is disposed in the center, the opaque zone 139B is disposed in a position hardly overlapped by the support 147 and outside the support 147 and the sealing member 201 is covered by the opaque zone 139B, the sealing member 201 may be hidden so that the sealing member is not seen from the outside, ensuring the visibility of the mobile terminal P by the translucent zone 139A and the aesthetic quality can be improved. Also, the sealing member 201 may be protected from sunlight by the area

25 opaque 139B. In addition, the sunlight that hits the upper housing 145 can be reduced due to the opaque zone 139B and the temperature rise of the upper housing 145 can be inhibited.

As shown in Fig. 19, at boundary 139C, the opaque zone 139B and the translucent zone

30 139a are connected by mounting a convex portion 206 at an inner end of the opaque zone 139B at an outer edge of the translucent zone 139A and mounting a convex portion 207 at an outer end of the translucent zone 139A at a bottom of the convex portion 206 In an overlapping state. As described above, the area of a connected part is increased by connecting the convex portions 206, 207 each being

35 an overlap and the connection force can be secured. In addition, as the convex portion 206 of the opaque zone 139B covers the convex portion 207 of the translucent zone 139A from 31

P201330570

02-26-2014

On the upper side, the convex portion 207 is not visible from the outside and the aesthetic quality of the 139C limit can be improved.

In this case, translucent zone 139A does not need to be completely transparent.

5 if only the interior of the upper housing 145 can be seen by the translucent zone 139A and the opaque zone 139A does not need to be completely opaque if only the sealing member 201 is seen with difficulty by the opaque zone 139B. In the first embodiment, for example, the translucent zone 139A is configured by transparent smoked polycarbonate and the opaque zone 139B is configured by black polycarbonate.

16. Fig. 21 is a cross-sectional view seen along line XXI-XXI in Fig. 16.

15 As shown in Figs. 20 and 21, as in the article housing 132, the upper box 155 is connected to an upper part of the lower box 154, the tray 144 is connected to an opening in an upper part of the upper box of the tray 144 and the upper face is closed, the article housing is formed in the form of a vertically elongated box. A sealing groove 155A is formed along a

20 opening margin in the opening in the upper part of the upper case 155 and a seal 208 is fitted within the sealing groove 155A. The impermeable property between the tray 144 and the upper box 155 is secured by mounting a lower end of the tray 144 inside the sealing slot 155A in a state in which the lower end rests on the seal 208.

25 The front part of the lower wall 132A of the lower case 154 is the lower one and in this part, a water drain hole 209 (see Fig. 20) is formed which causes the article housing 132 to communicate with the outer on the bottom side. The water drain hole 209 functions as an exhaust port that expels liquid such as water

30 of rain that enters article 132 housing when an article is placed or pulled down and also functions as an intake port that takes air into the article 132 housing from outside.

Fig. 22 is a perspective view showing the vent 200.

35

As shown in Fig. 22, the vent 220 is provided with several slats 210 32

image23

mutually arranged at an interval, a frame 211 supporting the slats 210 and a control element 212 (a variable ventilation grille mechanism) that can vary an angle of the slats 210.

5 The frame 211 is provided with a pair of left and right support walls 213, 214 extended in the longitudinal direction along the slats 210 and a pair of coupling walls 215, 216 that engage each end in the front parts and the rear parts of the support walls 213, 214 in the vehicle width direction. The left support wall 213 is extended straight in the longitudinal direction and the wall

10 of right support 214 is inclined so that the width between the support walls 213, 214 is smaller towards the front side.

The slats 210 are elongated plates directed in the vehicle width direction and are provided with rotation axes 210A each of which is adjusted to the walls of 15 supports 213, 214 at both ends in the longitudinal direction. The rotating shafts 210A are formed in upper parts of the slats 210 in a state in which the ventilation grill 200 is open. The slats 210 are supported by the frame 211 by mounting the rotation axes 210A on the support walls 213, 214 and can be rotated with the rotation axis 210A in the center. Also, as each strip 210 is arranged

20 mutually in parallel and mutually at an interval, a groove-shaped conduit is formed between each strip 210.

Coupling shafts 210B coupled to the control element 212 are formed at one end on the side of the left support wall 213 in lower parts of the slats

25 210. The coupling shaft 210B is extended in parallel with the axis of rotation 210A.

The control element 212, which is a plate extended in the longitudinal direction along the support wall 213 on the underside of the fins 210, is provided with several coupling holes 212A arranged at intervals substantially identical to the range of the arrangement of the slats 210, and each coupling shaft 210B is coupled to the coupling hole 212A. That is, the slats 210 are integrally coupled by the control element 212 and when the control element 212 slides longitudinally, all the slats 210 are rotated vertically by the rotation axes 210A in the center, an angle of each slat 210, and the vent 200 opens / closes. A part of

35 knob 217 protruding downwardly is arranged at the rear of the control element 212 so that the passenger R can easily manipulate the element 33

image24

control 212.

Support holes 214A within which the right rotation shafts 210A are formed are formed in the support wall 214. Locking slots 213A upwards 5 are formed in the support wall 213 on the side of the control element 212 and each Left rotation shaft 210A is adjusted within each locking slot 213A from the top side and locked together. As the side of each left rotation axis 210A is heavier by the amount of the control element 212 than the side of each right rotation axis 210A and is housed in the locking groove 213A because of its own

10 weight, the axis of rotation 210A can be supported in the blocking groove 213A of which an upper part is open. As described above, as one axis of rotation 210A is supported by the support hole 214A and the other axis of rotation 210A is supported by the mounting slot 213A, the slats 210 can be fixed to the frame 211 without greatly deflecting frame 211 and slats 210 and assembly is easy.

15 The vent 200 is removably fixed to the inner face of the upper cover 139 by a recessed fixing structure (not shown) and an accessory (not shown) and is arranged along the inner face of the upper cover 139 so that the ventilation grill is lower towards the rear in a side view. The

20 fixing structure and accessory are arranged in opaque zone 139B. In this way, the aesthetic quality can be improved without exposing the fixing structure and the accessory outside. Also, in the first embodiment, it is possible to prevent the ventilation grill 200 from becoming contaminated by arranging the ventilation grill 200 in the upper housing 145, however, when the ventilation grill 200 and the upper cover 139 are contaminated,

25 the ventilation grill 200 is separated by the fixing structure and the accessory, and the ventilation grill 200 and the inner face of the upper cover 139 can be easily cleaned.

The vent 200 is arranged in an orientation in which a direction

30 of the slats 210 is extended in the vehicle width direction so that the slats 210 are substantially in opposition to the passenger side R.

In addition, the slats 210 of the ventilation grill 200 are seen from the outside by the translucent zone 139A, the frame 211 is covered and hidden with the opaque zone 139B from the

35 upper side, and the picture is not visible. In this way, the circumferential structure of the ventilation grill 200 can be made to look simple and to improve the quality

P201330570

02-26-2014

esthetic.

The passenger R can manipulate the control element 212 of the vent 200 by opening the left cover 134, removing the support 147 on the passenger side and putting the hand inside the article housing 132 and can adjust the angle of the slats 210 at an arbitrary angle according to the conformation, the position of the seat and others of the passenger R. An angle of the ventilation grill 200 can be adjusted continuously between a closed state in which the slit-like duct between the slats 210 is completely closed (not shown) and an open state in which an interval between each

10 slit type duct between the slats 210 is the largest (not shown)

Fig. 23 shows the upper cover 139 seen from the passenger side R. Fig. 23 shows a state in which the chassis F, the handlebar 25 and others are omitted.

15 Fig. 23 shows a state in which the angle of the slats 210 is adjusted to an angle where the passenger R sitting in the seat 10 can easily see the inside of the upper housing 145. This state is a half-open state in where the angle is adjusted to the side of the open state from the closed state and in a cross-sectional view, as shown by arrows Q in Figs. 10 and 1, the slats 210 are

20 adjusted at an upward angle towards the rear towards the head of the passenger R (see Fig. 1) located in the seat 10 at the rear of and above the upper housing 145. Fig. 16 shows the upper housing 145 seen from a zenith direction in the state shown in the known state in Fig. 23 and in the half-open state, the slit-type duct between each strip 210 is not seen from the direction

25 zenith

That is, in the half-open state, the interior of the upper housing 145 can be seen through the slit-type conduit between each strip 210 from the passenger side, however, when the interior is seen from the upper side, the conduit Slit type 30 between each strip 210 is closed, it is protected from sunlight S (see Fig. 20) from the overhead direction by means of fins 210, and sunlight hardly reaches the upper housing 145. Thus the elevation of temperature in the upper housing 145 by sunlight R can be inhibited by the slats 210, the visibility of the interior of the upper housing 145 can also be ensured at the same time, when the terminal

35 mobile P is housed in the upper housing 145, a thermal effect applied to the mobile terminal P is inhibited, and a state of the mobile terminal P can be verified. Furthermore, in state 35

P201330570

02-26-2014

half open, as the interior of the upper housing 145 is hardly visible from a position except the passenger side depending on the orientation of the slats 210, a look of the upper housing 145 from the surroundings can be avoided.

5 When it is necessary to have a lot of light in the housing of article 132 including the upper housing 145, the passenger R can provide a lot of light by keeping the vent 200 in the open state. In addition, the passenger R can prevent the inside of the upper housing 145 from being seen from the outside by keeping the vent 200 in the closed state and an article housed in the upper housing can be hidden

10 145.

The ventilation grill 200 is arranged embossed on the left side (one side) in the vehicle width direction, however, as shown in a rear view in Fig. 17, the ventilation grill 200 is tilted backwards. the central side in the

15 vehicle width direction. Thus, as an upper face of the vent 200 is oriented on the passenger side sitting in the seat 10 in the center in the vehicle width direction, the passenger R can easily see the inside of the upper housing 145 .

20 Fig. 24 is a perspective view showing the tray 144. Fig. 25 is a perspective view showing a state in which the upper cover 139 is removed and the tray 144 is exposed. Fig. 26 is a cross-sectional view seen along a line XXVII-XXVII in Fig. 25. In Figs. 24 and 25, the sealing member 201 is omitted.

25 As shown in Figs. 24 to 26, the side wall 168 of the tray 144 is provided with an upper side wall 168A positioned upwards from the bottom 167 and a lower side wall 168B placed downwards from the bottom 167. The upper cover 139 is connected to an edge upper side wall upper 168A by the member of

30 airtight 201 and the upper case 155 is connected to a lower edge of the lower side wall 168B by the seal 208.

The support 147 is inserted into the support housing 171 of the tray 144 in a direction shown by an arrow in Fig. 24. On the support 147, the

35 different holes 147A in the form of a circular hole and the air inside the housing of article 133 can flow between the upper housing 145 and the main housing 146 through

P201330570

02-26-2014

the holes 147A.

The support 147 is made of white resin. As described above, when the upper face of the support 147 is of a color in which the convergence of the light is difficult 5 such as white, the heating of the support 147 by sunlight and others can be reduced and the elevation of temperature in the main housing 145 can be inhibited.

A cantilever portion 221 formed by cantilevering the bottom and upper wall 168A in front of a front wall 220 of the lower side wall 168B is arranged in the

10 front part of the tray 144. The upper side wall 168A is provided with a front cantilever wall 222 which configures a leading end of the cantilever portion 221 and on the leading cantilever wall 222, a vent hole 223 is formed which Makes the superior accommodation communicate with the outside. The vent hole 223 is an elongated hole extended in the vehicle width direction between the groove of

15 sealing 144A and the bottom 167. Since the tray 144 is arranged so that the bottom 167 is inclined upward towards the front, the vent hole 223 of the cantilevered front wall 222 is located in the highest position of the housing upper 145. That is, the vent hole 223 is located in the highest position of the housing of article 133.

20 Fig. 27 is an enlarged view showing the section of the vent hole 223. Fig. 28 is a cross-sectional view seen along the line XXVIII-XXVIII in Fig.

27.

25 As shown in Figs. 25 to 28, the rear tachymeter visor 137B is integrally provided with a cover support part 224 having the frame-shaped part 137D and covering the upper cover 139 from its periphery and a visor part 225 extending towards up from the front of the cover support part 224 and covering the tachymeter unit 191 on the front side.

The bag-shaped space V whose upper side is covered by the visor part 225 and which is open downwards is formed in the base in which the visor part 225 rises from the cover support part 224 of the visor part. The vent hole 223 of the tray 144 is arranged in opposition to the bag-shaped space

35 V from the rear side and communicates with the rear of the space in the form of a V bag.

image25

As shown in Fig. 20, the housing 146 of the article housing 132 is provided with the cantilever housing portion 226 in front of the tray 144. The cantilever housing portion 226 is extended forward through the positions of the vent hole 223 and the bag-shaped space V and in a side view 5, a leading end of the cantilever housing portion 226 is located under the front tachymeter visor 137A. Also, an opening (not shown) through which a steering system that includes the front forks penetrating the front cover 130 is arranged in the front cover 130 (see Fig. 1) of the motorcycle 1, however , the cantilever housing part 226 is arranged on the upper side

10 of the opening.

As described above, as the cantilever housing part 226 is disposed on the lower side of the ventilation hole 223 with the cantilever housing part covering the ventilation hole 223, the entrance of water, dust and other than they penetrate the front cover 130 from the bottom side into the vent hole 223 can be inhibited by the cantilever housing portion 226. In addition, the vent hole 223 is open to the bag-shaped space V formed smaller than its circumference and is it is difficult for water, dust or others entering from the bottom side to enter the space in the form of a V-bag. Thus, the entrance of water, dust and others

20 inside the vent hole 223 can be inhibited.

When the temperature in the upper housing 145 rises due to the heat of sunlight and the mobile terminal P, the air in the upper housing 145 flowing to an upper part of the upper housing 145, is expelled out through the space in 25 bag shape V from the vent hole 223 as shown by an air flow X in Fig. 20, accordingly, the air in the main housing 146 flows upwards as shown by an air flow Y, and air flows into the upper housing 145 through the holes 147A of the tray 144. In addition, the outside air flows into the main housing 146 from the water drain hole 209 as shown

30 by air flow Z.

As described above, even if the upper housing 145 is sealed by the sealing member 201, the air in the upper housing 145 can be efficiently expelled using an updraft in the housing of article 132

35 by providing the vent hole 223 in the upper part of the upper housing 145 and the temperature rise can be inhibited, ensuring the impermeable property. 38

image26

Also, since the upper housing 145 and the main housing 146 communicate through the holes 147A and the air in the main housing 146 flows into the upper housing 145, the temperature rise in the upper housing 145 can be inhibited. In addition, as the capacity of the main housing 146 is increased by the cantilever part

5 of housing 226, the temperature rise in the upper housing 145 and the main housing 146 can be inhibited. In addition, as the outside air enters from the water drain hole 209, the temperature rise in the upper housing 145 and the main housing can be effectively inhibited.

10 As shown in Fig. 1, the motorcycle 1 is provided with the side stand 47 on the left side (on one side) in the vehicle width direction, the vehicle body is inclined on the left side in a state where that the motorcycle is parked by the side stand 47, and in this state, the upper cover 139 on the left side is lower than the upper cover 140 on the right side. In the first embodiment,

15 as the upper cover 139 provided with the translucent zone 139A is arranged on the same side as the side stand 47 and the upper cover on one side is made lower than the upper cover 140 on the other side in the parking state by the side stand 47, the sunlight reaching the upper cover 139 can be reduced and the temperature rise in the upper housing 145 can be inhibited.

As described above, according to the first embodiment to which the present invention is applied, as the sealed part 204 of the sealing member 201 is disposed between the upper cover 139 which configures the upper face of the upper housing 145 of the article housing 132 arranged in front cover 130 and the

25 side wall 168 of the upper housing 145, the impermeable property between the upper cover 139 and the upper housing 145 can be secured by the sealed part 204, as the opaque zone 139B is installed in the area that has no effect on the visibility of the mobile terminal P which is an article housed around the translucent zone 139A of the upper cover 139, the light such as sunlight transmitted in the

30 upper housing 145 can be reduced, ensuring visibility of the mobile terminal P, and the temperature rise in the upper housing 145 can be inhibited. In addition, since the sealed part 204 is disposed in the opaque zone 139B, the sealed part 204 is not exposed to the outside, the aesthetic quality can be improved and the sunlight can be prevented from having any effect on the sealing member 201 in the part

35 sealed 204.

P201330570

02-26-2014

In addition, since the top cover 139 is made of resin and the translucent zone 139A and the opaque zone 139B are integrally made of different resin, the top cover 139 provided with the translucent zone 139A and the opaque zone 139B can be formed simply, a part for fixing the translucent zone 139A and the opaque zone 139B can be omitted,

5 and the number of pieces can be reduced.

Furthermore, even if the upper cover 139 has a complex shape formed in the form of a laterally asymmetric box, the translucent zone 139A and the opaque zone can be integrally formed in resin and the upper cover 139 can be formed in a manner

10 simple.

Also, since the marginal wall 203 of the upper cover 138 is extended on the lower side of the sealed part 204, water and others enter with difficulty on the upper side of the marginal wall 203 of the upper cover 139 and the impermeable property

15 can be secured without compressing the sealed part 204.

Likewise, since the vent 200 that protects against light from the upper side and allows the passenger R to see inside the upper housing 145 is provided under the translucent zone 139A, the visibility of the interior of the upper housing 145 can be

20 secure by means of the ventilation grill 200, protecting from sunlight by means of the ventilation grill and inhibiting the temperature rise in the upper housing 145.

In addition, as the ventilation grill 200 that is installed inside the upper cover 139 that configures the upper face of the upper housing 145 of the housing

Article 132, which protects the light from the upper side and allows the passenger R to see inside the upper housing 145, visibility is allowed through the ventilation grill 200 inside the upper housing 145 from the passenger R, reduces the radiation of the upper housing 145 by sunlight by the ventilation grill 200, and the temperature rise in the upper housing 145 can be inhibited.

In addition, as a light-protecting part that protects from light from the upper side is formed by the vent 200, the light-protecting part can be formed with a simple structure and the temperature rise in the upper housing 145 can be inhibited.

02-26-2014

front 130 and the ventilation grill 200 is directed towards the upper side of the seat 10, the temperature rise in the upper housing 145 can be inhibited by protecting against light, improving the visibility of the interior of the upper housing 145 by the passenger R in the seat 10.

5

Also, as the control element 212 is provided which allows a vertical direction of rotation of the ventilation grill 200 to be adjusted vertically, the visibility of the interior of the upper housing 145 can be adjusted according to the taste, posture, conformation and others of the passenger R.

10 Furthermore, since the ventilation grill 200 and the upper cover 139 are removably formed, the upper cover 139 and the ventilation grill 200 can be easily cleaned by separating the ventilation grill 200 and maintenance can be improved to maintain visibility.

15 Likewise, as the ventilation hole 223 which causes the interior and exterior of the upper housing 145 to communicate is disposed in the upper part of the tray 144 in the upper housing 145 of the article housing disposed on the front cover 130, the air heated can be ejected out of the upper housing 145 using a

Upstream caused by the temperature rise in the upper housing 145, and the temperature rise in the upper housing 145 can be inhibited.

In addition, as the upper cover 139 is installed on the upper face of the front cover 130 and is formed such that the upper cover descends downwards.

25 towards the rear in the side view, the visibility of the interior of the upper housing 145 of the passenger R in the seat 10 can be improved, the ventilation hole 223 is arranged in the front part of the upper housing 145 and in the front cover 130 and the ventilation hole is located in the high position where dust, rainwater and others can hardly enter, it can effectively inhibit the elevation of

30 temperature in the upper housing 145, preventing the entry of dust, rainwater and others from the vent hole 223.

Likewise, as the cantilever housing part 226 in which the main housing 146 of the article housing 132 is in forward cantilever is formed on the side

35 of the vent hole 223, the capacity of the article housing 132 can be increased by the amount of the cantilever housing part 226 and the dust inlet,

P201330570

02-26-2014

Rainwater and others within the vent 223 can be inhibited by the cantilever housing portion 226. Furthermore, since the capacity of the article housing 132 is increased, the air in the article housing 132 is hardly heated and can be heated. inhibit temperature rise.

5

Also, as the tachymeter visor 137 is arranged in front of the upper cover 139 and the vent hole 233 is arranged in opposition to the bag-shaped space V of the tachymeter visor 137 in the tachymeter visor 137, the dust inlet , rainwater and others in the vent 223 can be avoided by using the structure in the bag-shaped space V, the air is expelled from the side of the tachymeter visor 137, and can effectively inhibit the temperature rise in the upper housing

145.

Furthermore, as the fund 167 that divides the housing of article 132 is provided in the

15 lower side of the upper cover 139, the upper housing 145 is formed on the upper side of the bottom 167 and the main housing 146 on the lower side of the bottom 167 and the holes 147A are formed which make the upper housing 145 and the housing main 146 communicate, on the support 147 that configures a part of the bottom 167 of the tray 144, the air in the main housing 146 flows into the upper housing
