BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a scooter type motorcycle having a storage box capable of housing a helmet below a seat.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A scooter-type motorcycle has a storage box for storing a helmet and baggage below a seat. The storage box has a size capable of storing at least a full-face helmet, and an opening at an upper end of the storage box is opened and closed by a seat.

However, the conventional storage box is installed under the seat together with other components such as an intake device for an engine, electric components, and a fuel tank, so that it is difficult to secure a sufficient installation space. Yes, it is usually large enough to accommodate one full face helmet. For this reason, it is impossible to accommodate two helmets in terms of space, and one helmet is often hooked on a dedicated helmet holder installed near the seat.

[0004]

However, in this case, one helmet that cannot be accommodated in the storage box remains exposed outside, causing damage to the helmet or mischievous helmet. May be performed. For this reason, especially in a scooter-type motorcycle that can accommodate two people, it is desirable to be able to store two helmets in the storage box, but in order to realize this, the storage box itself does not need to be enlarged. Not be.

[0005] Therefore, not only is there any difficulty in arranging the parts under the seat, but also the seat height can be increased with the increase in the size of the storage box. Problem arises.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and a scooter type that can accommodate two types of helmets without increasing the size of the storage box and can suppress the seat height. The purpose is to provide motorcycles.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, a scooter-type motorcycle according to the present invention has a storage box having a size capable of accommodating at least a full-face type helmet and opening upward; A seat that can be opened and closed over a closed position that closes an opening at the upper end of the storage box and an open position that opens the opening. In the present invention, in storing the full-face helmet and the open-face helmet in the storage box, the full-face helmet is mounted on the storage box in a posture in which the top of the cap body faces downward. Housed in the first half, the open face helmet is oriented vertically with the top of the cap facing backward, and the head insertion port facing the top is placed over the rear of the cap of the full face helmet. It is characterized in that it can be stored in the latter half of the storage box.

According to this configuration, the open face type helmet which is more compact than the full face type helmet has a vertical position in which the cap of the full face type helmet is inserted into the head insertion opening of the cap. Therefore, the inside of the cap of the open face helmet can be used as a storage space for the full face helmet. For this reason, the amount of protrusion of the open face helmet to the rear can be kept small, and the open face helmet can be comfortably accommodated in an empty space created behind the full face helmet.

Therefore, in storing the two helmets in the storage box, it is not necessary to greatly increase the length and depth of the storage box in the front-rear direction, and therefore, the storage box is provided below the seat. Can be easily secured, and increase in seat height can be prevented.
