Description

Mudguards, license plate holder and motorcycle equipped with them

The present invention relates to a mudguard for a motorcycle, more particularly a rear mudguard intended to be mounted on a motorcycle, a license plate holder intended to be mounted on such a mudguard, as well as a motorcycle equipped with this rear mudguard.

A mudguard of this type is known by the applicant and is also usually called a splash guard, which is arranged above the rear wheel of a motorcycle below the saddle and therefore protects the driver and parts of the vehicle. the motorcycle located below the saddle and above the rear wheel, for example the rear frame and the battery compartment bracket, against dirt, stone impact and splashing water. Such a motorcycle mudguard can be arranged on the rear of a motorcycle, which can, for example, be an off-road sports motorcycle.

Although the mentioned mudguard has proven itself in practice, there is still room for improvement, especially with regard to the stability and ease of installation of the motorcycle mudguard on the motorcycle. The motorcycle mudguard must, during the manufacture of the motorcycle, be attached to the motorcycle chassis, for example using screw connections. The motorcycle mudguard must also be able to be remounted on the motorcycle frame, for example when it has been detached from the motorcycle frame for repair or cleaning purposes.

To this end, the known motorcycle mudguard must, on the one hand, be held by hand by the person carrying out the assembly on the motorcycle chassis, until the screw connections hold the mudguard by themselves. motorcycle mud on the motorcycle chassis, and on the other hand this person must, for the establishment of the screwed connections, introduce the necessary screws into corresponding housing devices on the motorcycle mudguard and ensure, at the same time time, that the screws also fit into the corresponding mounting devices on the motorcycle and this person must additionally also tighten the screws using a suitable tool.

The objective of the present invention is therefore to create a motorcycle mudguard which has better stability, which can be fixed more easily on the motorcycle chassis and which also improves the guidance of the necessary cables or pipes. A license plate holder, intended to be mounted on the motorcycle mudguard of which also be created. Finally, a motorcycle with the motorcycle mudguard to be created must also be offered.

The invention discloses a mudguard, a license plate holder and a motorcycle to solve this problem.

The invention relates to a mudguard for a motorcycle with a support bar, in which the support bar is shaped such that the support bar is able to be supported, at least in places by complementarity of shape, against a rear wall of an air box of the motorcycle, in which the support bar is arranged on a lower side of the mudguard and, on the lower side of the support bar, at least one first device is arranged housing for fixing means for mounting the mudguard on a rear frame of the motorcycle and in which at least one second housing device for fixing means for mounting the mudguard is arranged, in the direction of the step, before the support bar, on an upper side of the rear mudguard.

By direction of travel, we mean the direction in which the motorcycle moves when traveling straight ahead. The indications “left” and “right” are indicated in reference to this direction of travel. The terms “front” and “rear” are also defined with reference to this direction of travel. A direction opposite to the direction of gravity is called a vertical or upward direction. “Horizontal” means any direction perpendicular to the direction of gravity. The terms "above", "under", "top", "bottom", "height", "deep", "top side", "bottom side", "top edge" and "bottom edge" are defined with reference to this vertical or upward direction, when the motorcycle is placed upright on a horizontal surface. A direction that extends horizontally and perpendicular to the direction of travel and therefore either to the left or to the right is called transverse direction. By longitudinal central plane, we mean, for a motorcycle with two wheels, a plane which is defined by the vertical direction and the line connecting the points of contact of the motorcycle tires with the ground when the handlebars are oriented straight ahead.

The expression “at least in places by complementarity of shape” means here that between the different components, a distance, for example less than 0.5 mm, relative to the flat contact is respected.

By rear frame we mean a component of the motorcycle chassis which is located on the motorcycle, mainly below the saddle and above the swing arm of the rear wheel. By air filter housing or air box is meant the cavity or housing space arranged in front of the rear wheel in the chassis of the motorcycle, in which are arranged, for a motorcycle with an internal combustion engine, devices for the introduction of the air necessary for combustion and the filtration device for this air.

The mudguard designed according to the invention therefore comprises a support arch extending transversely with respect to the direction of travel, with which the mudguard can be mounted by complementarity of shape on a rear wall of an air box .

The complementary connection of the shape of the mudguard by means of the support bar on the air box increases the stability of the rear mudguard. This is also because the air box is stably connected with the motorcycle chassis. Connecting the mudguard to the rear wall of the airbox also increases its stability.

The configuration with a support bar integrated into the lower side of the mudguard serves several functions. The support bar essentially contributes to the stability of the mudguard. Its presence allows that two longitudinal ribs, necessary in the state of the art on the lower side of the mudguard, no longer have to be present in the case of a mudguard according to the invention.

Furthermore, the mounting of accommodation devices on the lower side of the support bar increases the stability of the overall construction in interaction with the accommodation devices on the upper side of the mudguard. Since the front housing devices are mounted at the top and the rear housing devices are mounted at the bottom, the stability of the mudguard according to the invention is increased.

The installation of the mudguard, for example during the manufacture of the motorcycle or during a subsequent re-assembly of the mudguard, is facilitated by the arrangement of the front housing devices on the upper side of the mudguard, because the person responsible for assembly, who stands next to the motorcycle, first positions the mudguard, then holds the mudguard with one hand, then, with the second hand, introduces the fixing means, which can for example be a screw, from above into the mudguard and the motorcycle. When the mudguard has been fixed in this way on the motorcycle, it is then possible in a simple way to introduce the fixing means(s) into the housing devices on the support arch from below.

The support bar mounted on the front part of the mudguard makes it possible to make the lower side of the mudguard generally smooth, therefore creating a surface on which there is no rib or any projection downwards in the direction of the rear wheel of the motorcycle. When traveling in the field, this helps reduce the accumulation of dirt on the mudguard.

The mudguard can be made of a plastic material, for example using an injection process. This ensures that the transition zone located on the support bar already described is made in one piece with the rest of the mudguard.

In embodiments of the invention, the first housing device and/or the second housing device are respectively present in duplicate, in other words the mudguard comprises two first housing devices and/or two second devices of housing. This configuration, each with two fixing means on the upper side and on the lower side of the mudguard, allows a stable connection of the mudguard with the rear chassis of the motorcycle. This helps reduce oscillations and vibrations.

In embodiments of the invention, the mudguard comprises at least one holding element for a saddle. This holding element makes it possible to obtain a particularly stable connection between the mudguard and the saddle, thanks to the fact that the holding element is fitted with a hook on the lower side of the saddle. This also helps reduce oscillations and vibrations. This also prevents the saddle from detaching from the lower structure, namely the mudguard, when the motorcycle rider slides forward on the saddle when traveling off-road and exerts a tilting force on the saddle which tends to lift the rear part of the saddle.

In embodiments, the mudguard is able to be pressed, at least in places by complementarity of shape, against a side fairing of the motorcycle. In other embodiments, the mudguard is able to be pressed, at least in places by complementarity of shape, against a battery support of the motorcycle. These two measures contribute to obtaining a defined gap dimension between these components and to guaranteeing a generally stable construction, thanks to the fact that the mudguard rests by complementarity of shape against other components, such as the side fairing, which can be the side air filter box cover, and the battery holder.

In embodiments, a lower edge portion of the mudguard is made, in its front part, with a greater thickness of material than in its rear part. This ensures that the lower front edge part of the mudguard can be used as a handle for lifting the motorcycle, for example after a fall. Reducing the material thickness of the rear fender edge portion saves material. Normally, the user of the motorcycle does not grab the mudguard at its rear end, in order to straighten the motorcycle. It is therefore not necessary to provide the same thickness of material here as at the front end of the mudguard.

In embodiments, said at least one second housing device and/or said at least one holding element each comprise an outlet opening. This configuration allows moisture and water to escape downwards. This is advantageous when traveling in wet conditions or rain and when cleaning the motorcycle. Water can flow downward and is diverted to areas outside the motorcycle. This prevents corrosion of the fasteners.

In embodiments, a clearance is arranged in the center of the mudguard, therefore on both sides of the longitudinal central plane of the motorcycle. This configuration with clearance on the front side of the fender saves material without compromising the stability of the fender. In connection with the housing devices for fixing means, arranged on the upper side of the mudguard, this facilitates assembly. Additionally, accessibility to the battery holder is improved. The parts of the mudguard arranged on both sides of the clearance thus constitute, together with wall portions of the side fairings, an area located between these elements, in which a battery support can be arranged, which is provided for the housing of electronic components or for example a fuel pump of the motorcycle and is protected against the ingress of water from the longitudinal sides of the motorcycle.

In embodiments, said at least one holding element is arranged so as to protrude into the clearance. This configuration allows for a more stable connection between the saddle and the mudguard, which is also detachable without tools.

In embodiments, the mudguard has a buffer element for attaching a saddle. Such a buffer element may be made of rubber or a plastic material or a cellular material of the silicone type. It allows the damping of oscillations and the mechanical connection of the rear mudguard with the saddle. The configuration with the buffer element further increases the stability of the connection between the saddle and the mudguard and allows additional support of the mudguard. This simultaneously improves saddle fixation, reducing wobble and wear.

In embodiments, at the level of a rear chassis and/or a battery support of the motorcycle, at least one socket is arranged for housing at least one fixing means. The mudguard can thus be easily mounted using the fixing means, once the sockets are fixed on the rear frame or on the battery holder.

In embodiments, a second socket for housing at least one fixing means is arranged on the mudguard. This second socket facilitates the introduction of the fixing means when assembling the mudguard. Additionally, this reduces the risk of inadvertently causing the fender to break during assembly.

In embodiments, on a lower side of the mudguard, several conical housings are arranged for mounting a license plate holder. This arrangement allows easy mounting of a license plate holder, also called a license plate holder, for example using screws as fixing means, which are screwed into the conical housings, also called supports.

In embodiments, the fender includes a passage for a wiring harness. This allows for safe installation of the wiring harness without the wiring harness being pinched or bent.

Another aspect of the invention relates to a license plate support intended to be mounted on the conical housings of the mudguard previously defined, the license plate support comprising at least one gripping cavity.

In embodiments, the license plate bracket includes at least one bracket for the wiring harness. This configuration makes it even easier to install the cable harness without the cable harness being stuck or bent during installation.

Finally, one aspect of the invention relates to a motorcycle with a mudguard as described above. Such a motorcycle can, for example, be a motocross machine.

In embodiments, the motorcycle includes a fender that is configured for mounting a license plate bracket described above. Off-road motorcycles with license plate holders are often used in the enduro field.

There represents a perspective view of a rear mudguard 120 according to an embodiment according to the present invention, which is intended to be arranged above the rear wheel of a motorcycle, as further seen in the drawing. The same references designate the same components as in this figure and the other figures.

The rear mudguard 120 has a part 128, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the rear mudguard 120 and which constitutes the transition between an upper part of the rear mudguard 120, extending substantially horizontally, and parts of the mudguard 120 inclined more steeply downwards. This part is enlarged compared to the prior state of the art. This enlargement ensures that the rear mudguard according to the invention can absorb greater stresses, more particularly in bending and torsion.

Compared to the prior art, in order to save material, a clearance 124 has been created, which facilitates the manufacturing process without losing rigidity. In addition, we can clearly see second housing devices 141 and 142 for fixing means not shown here. The fixing means can, for example, be screws. These fixing means make it possible to fix the mudguard 120, for example, to a battery support 108 or to a rear chassis 107 of the motorcycle.

In addition, the rear mudguard 120 has, for example, two holding elements 131 and 132 for fixing the saddle 109 described in more detail below. These holding elements can be hooks 131 and 132. The housing devices 141 and 142 for the fixing means as well as the holding elements 131 and 132 are located at the level of the clearance 124. Finally, the rear mudguard 120 has also a housing part 135 for housing a buffer element 136 not shown here.

There is a view of the rear mudguard 120 from below. We can also see here the second housing devices 141 and 142 extending through the mudguard. These are, just like the holding elements 131 and 132, arranged at the level of the clearance 124. In addition, we see two other first housing devices 143 and 144 accessible only from below for fixing means, with which the guard - mud 120 can be mounted on a rear chassis 107 of the motorcycle, described in more detail below.

There further represents a support arch 121 mounted on the front part of the mudguard 120, which makes it possible to produce the lower side of the mudguard 120 in a generally smooth manner, therefore to create a surface on which no rib nor no downward protrusion towards the rear wheel of the motorcycle. When traveling off-road, this reduces the accumulation of dirt on the mudguard. The transition part 123, arranged in the rear part of the support arch 121, is made so as to constitute a smooth transition between the support arch 121 extending vertically downwards and the part, located behind, of the guard -mud. In addition, the transition part 123 is arranged on the support arch 121 and thus also contributes to the stability of the mudguard.

There is a sectional view in which the mounting of the mudguard 120 on the battery support 108 is shown by means of a socket 156 injected into the battery support 108 and the screw 151. The socket 156 is provided with a overmolded internal thread and a conical entry for the screw 151. The overmolding of the socket 156 extends the life of the socket 156. The conical entry reduces errors during assembly. When the screw 151 is provided, as shown, with a collar and a fixed washer, a defined preload is generated on the mudguard 120, which promotes correct assembly.

There is a similar sectional view which shows the mounting of the mudguard 120 using one of the housing devices 143 or 144 on the rear frame 107. The screw 153 is inserted into the mudguard 120 in a second socket 155 and is screwed into the first socket 157 inserted in the rear frame 107. Advantageously, here the socket 157 has been inserted, before assembly, in the rear frame 107 which has the shape of a square tube. The 157 socket also has a tapered entry for the 153 screw, which promotes correct assembly.

Due to the fact that the connection, represented on the , of the front part of the mudguard with the motorcycle takes place from above and the connection, shown on the , from the rear part of the mudguard with the chassis takes place from below, the stability of the rear mudguard and the components connected to it is increased.

THE and 2nd are representations of sockets 157 and 155. On the , we see that the socket 157 has a conical inlet 159 and a cylindrical part 161 provided with an internal thread. The socket 157 can, advantageously, be designed as an end cap of the rear frame 107, provided with a collar 163. Such a design of the socket 157 results in a considerable reduction in weight. When the mudguard 120 is inserted from behind on the rear frame up to the end cap 157, the risk of breakage during assembly is also reduced. The sockets 157 and 155 can be made of plastic or metal. For socket 155, aluminum is, for example, preferred. The use of the socket 155 makes it possible to obtain a uniform distribution of the forces exerted in all directions when tightening the screw 153 in the mudguard 120, which further reduces the risk of breakage. Compared to previous embodiments, the rearwardly extending overhang of the frame tube 107 can also be reduced, which contributes to reducing weight.

There represents a view of the mudguard 120 from above. We also see here the parts already described in connection with the and the . There is a detailed view of the second left housing device 142, in which an outlet opening 146, also shown on the , is visible. There represents the hook 132 with the exit opening 134, also shown on the . The outlet openings 145, 146 and 133, 134 shown here ensure that water, which may enter these areas when using the motorcycle in the rain or when cleaning the motorcycle, can be drained away and the Corrosion can thus be avoided at the level of screws 151 and 153.

Furthermore, on the , we see that the insertion of the screws into the housing devices 141 and 142 is facilitated, because these second housing devices 141 and 142 are arranged on the upper side of the mudguard 120. It is therefore easy for a person standing next to the motorcycle to carry out the assembly without having to go to the other side of the motorcycle.

There is a side view of the mudguard 120 according to the invention with the rear part of the saddle 109. In addition, the rear side fairing of the motorcycle, which is not described here in more detail, is still partially visible. There is a similar representation of the prior art fender 125 to show the development by the present invention. We see here that the overhang .

This reduction in the height difference between the saddle 109 and the mudguard 125 by the invention increases the freedom of movement of the motorcycle driver. In defined riding situations, it may happen that the rider must move towards the rear mudguard 120 beyond the rear end of the saddle. When he wants to return to a usual sitting position on the saddle, there is a risk that, when the driver moves forward, an item of clothing remains caught on the rear end of the saddle 109. This increases the risk of fall, because the rider gets his pants caught on the saddle, damage to the motorcycle or the risk of the saddle lifting from its support. Reducing the height difference by the rear mudguard 120 according to the invention reduces these risks.

There is an oblique view of the mudguard 120 according to the invention from below. Additionally, the rear side fairing of the motorcycle is also visible. There is a similar representation of the prior art mudguard 125, to represent the development by the present invention. We can clearly see that the reinforcing ribs 127 and 128, visible on the , have been replaced by the support arch 121. This makes it possible to reduce the use of material without reducing rigidity. In addition, a smoother lower side of the mudguard is made. This smoother surface allows stones and dirt to fall off the fender, reducing the tendency for dirt adhering to the underside of the motorcycle to increase its own mass and therefore the mass of the motorcycle. The absence of reinforcing ribs and the deformation, modified compared to the previous version, of the lower side of the mudguard ensures adaptation to different wheel sizes even when the rear bumper is fully retracted. This prevents a collision between the wheel and the mudguard, regardless of the wheel size.

There is a partial top view of the mudguard 120 mounted on the motorcycle. We can clearly see the second housing devices 141 and 142 for fixing means as well as the housing part 135, in which the buffer element 136 for the saddle is arranged. There is a sectional view along the line A–A on the , which represents the arrangement and fixing of the rear part of the saddle 109 on the mudguard 120.

We see here how a hook 110 mounted on the saddle 109 fits with the holding element 131, once the saddle 109 has been inserted from behind and from above. The buffer element 136 also fits into a recess in the saddle 109. Compared to the previous model, parts are saved here for mounting the saddle, where, at the same time, the modified fixing makes it possible to improve the seat anchorage during travel with regard to wear and oscillations. In addition, care was taken when constructing the retaining elements not to reduce the rigidity of the mudguard. The buffer element also prevents friction through relative movements between the rear mudguard and the saddle.

In Fig.7, two versions 120a and 120b of the mudguard according to the invention are shown in bottom views. The 120a mudguard shown on the has conical supports 171, which are also called conical housings, and on which a license plate holder not shown here can be mounted. Registration and lighting are required for road travel. This is why the 120a mudguard version is used on off-road motorcycles with road approval. In addition, the mudguard 120a has a hole 183, also called a passage, for the passage of a bundle of cables. The 120b mudguard shown on the is identical to the 120a mudguard of the , with the exception of these supports 171 and the breakthrough 183. The two components, the supports 171 and the breakthrough 183, can be easily made using inserts in the mold used for injection molding. For screwing into the supports 171, self-tapping screws are preferably used. It is therefore not necessary to provide the supports 171 with an internal thread.

The two versions shown on the and the have the holding elements 131 and 132 already described, second front housing devices 141 and 142 as well as first housing devices 143 and 144 arranged on the support arch 121. The first peripheral lower edge of the two mudguards 120a and 120b is reinforced in the front part 181. This makes it possible to obtain, together with the reinforcement by the support arch 121, a high stability of the mudguard, which is necessary, for example, when a motorcycle lying on the side after a fall must be straightened. It is possible to grip both front ends of the mudguard with your hand. The rear part 185 of the mudguard has not been reinforced accordingly, thereby saving material.

On the is shown, in a bottom side view, the mounting of the rear mudguard 120 on the rear wall 105 of the air filter housing. In addition, the rear ends of the side fairings 106 are visible. There is a sectional view in which is shown the interlocking and therefore the support by complementary shape of the mudguard 120 against the rear wall 105, produced in a stepped manner, of the air filter housing. The support of the hook 110 against the lower side of the saddle in the holding element 131 is also shown.

On the , b, c, the adaptation of the mudguard 120 to the surrounding components is shown. There is a representation of the mounting of the mudguard 120 on the rear chassis 107, the mudguard 120 having been shown transparently. There is a cross-sectional representation at the front housing device 141, in which the screw 151 is mounted in the socket 156 in the battery holder 108. The rear frame tube 107 is visible alongside. It can be clearly seen that the mudguard 120 rests by complementarity of shape against the side cover 106 of the air filter box and against the battery support 108.

THE , b and 9a, b, c show particularly clearly that the mudguard 120 is assembled by complementarity in shape with the other components of the motorcycle. During assembly, the rear fender is pushed over the side covers of the air filter box, the rear wall of the air filter box and the rear frame with the battery holder located there. The relative position of the parts between them with constant gaps is thus guaranteed. In addition, smooth and tight transitions are achieved.

There is a cross-sectional view at the level of the rear housing device 143. We see here how the screw 153 is mounted, by means of the socket 155, in the tube of the rear chassis 107. We also see that the mudguard 120 rests by complementarity of shape against the rear wall 105 of the air filter housing.

There is a representation of the 120 fender version in enduro form with a 190 license plate bracket mounted on it. The 195 taillights are easily recognizable. There is a sectional view along line C–C of the . We can clearly see here a hook 194 for fixing the cable harness for powering the rear light. Furthermore, in both views of Fig. 10, we recognize grip handles 191 by which a recumbent motorcycle can be lifted by hand, as described above.

There is a detail view of the rear part of the motorcycle from below. We see here that, on some of the supports 171, screws 179 are inserted, in order to fix the license plate support 190. In addition, the rear light 195 is recognizable. In order to obtain greater security of the license plate holder 190, it is possible to mount other screws, for example in the conical supports 171 arranged along the line D – D.

On the is shown how the license plate holder 190 is arranged under the mudguard 120, not shown here, on the motorcycle behind the saddle 109. The wiring harness 196 and the rear light 195 are clearly visible here. For purposes of clarification and better differentiation, on the , only the license plate holder 190 is shown in the same perspective. There represents an enlarged section of the , in which we see how the cable harness arranged under the mudguard in the license plate holder is protected by the hook 194 and the socket 193 surrounding the support 171 against jamming, dirt and breakage. This also makes it easier to install the cable harness 196.

There is another representation of the lower side of the 120a mudguard in enduro version. The positioning of the holders 171 takes place in such a way that the license plate holder is optimally protected against bending loads and can thus absorb oscillations well. This improved absorption of oscillations helps increase the life of the electrical components and the mudguard itself. The ribs 172 on the supports 171, shown on the , make it possible to increase the resistance of conical supports in the event of bending stresses. At the same time, this allows the precise positioning of the license plate holder.

As shown on the , the motorcycle 100 includes a front wheel 101, a rear wheel 102 and a saddle 109 for the user or driver of the motorcycle. The motorcycle has an air filter housing 104 with side covers 106 and a drive motor which is designed, in the embodiment of the motorcycle 100 shown, as an internal combustion engine. In the enduro version shown here, on the lower side of the mudguard 120, the license plate holder 190 with the rear lights 195 is mounted. In addition, the direction of travel F and the vertical direction H are indicated under the shape of arrows.

With regard to the characteristics of the invention not described here in detail, reference should be made expressly to the claims and the figures.
