DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a winter saddle cover for warming the circumference of a motorcycle driver's waist.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In motorcycles such as motorcycles and motorbikes, the saddle is exposed to the outside. Therefore, when driving in winter, the waist becomes cold and the driver feels cold. Even when wearing winter clothes, it is difficult to prevent the waist from getting cold especially when driving for a long time in a cold region.
As means for preventing such cooling around the waist, for example, an idea is disclosed in which a heating element is provided inside the saddle to appropriately heat the saddle itself, or a heating element is provided on a saddle cover that covers the saddle to warm the saddle. (For example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 53-15070).

[0003]

In a conventional motorcycle cold saddle or saddle cover, a sheet heating element or a heating wire is generally used as a heating element, and the heating element is electrically connected to a power supply (battery) of the motorcycle. And a current is supplied from the power supply to the heating element to generate heat. However, the electrical wiring of this heating element is troublesome and it is not easy to retrofit it to a motorcycle.If it is incorrectly wired, a short circuit will occur and the heating element will be destroyed, or an unexpected burn or fire due to overheating will occur. Risk.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and has as its object to provide a motorcycle cold protection saddle cover capable of simplifying electric wiring of a heating element and easily attaching to a motorcycle. And

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a motorcycle saddle cover according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 shows an example in which the present invention is applied to a motorbike. Reference numeral 1 denotes a saddle cover body, which is detachably attached to a saddle 2 of the motorbike and has a heating element 3 inside.
Are arranged.

As shown in FIG. 2, the saddle cover body 1 is formed of a waterproof and heat-resistant surface sheet material 1a in a substantially bag shape.
A protection mat 1b for protecting the thermostat 4 is attached to the inside of the seat surface, and a heating element 3 made of a heating wire is adhered and fixed by a heat-resistant double-sided tape 1c.
Under the heating element 3, a thin aluminum vapor-deposited plate 1d and glass fiber 1e are adhered, under which a felt 1f is attached via a heat-resistant double-sided tape 1g, and further under the felt 1f, a heat-resistant backing sheet material. 1h is heat-welded to the surface sheet material 1a to cover and protect the surface sheet material 1a, and a rubber cord 1i is attached to a peripheral edge of a lower end portion of the surface sheet material 1a so as to be detachable from the saddle 2.

A thin thermostat 4 is connected to the heating element 3 as shown in FIG.
The end of the cord 5 is connected to the saddle cover body 1
And a three-pole connector 6 is connected to the tip.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a control switch which is ON,
It has a knob 7a for performing an OFF switching operation, and a plurality of (four) terminals 8a, 8b,
8c and 8d are attached so as to correspond to the four lead wires, respectively. This control switch 7 is
And is attached to the base of the rear-view mirror 10 via the mounting plate 9.

An extension cord 11 has a three-pole connector 12 attached to one end of the extension cord and electrically connected to the connector 6 of the heating element 3, and the control switch 7 at the other end. Terminals 8a, 8b of the side cord 8;
8c, terminals 11a, 11b to be electrically connected to each other.
11c are attached so as to correspond to the three lead wires, respectively. Therefore, the heating element 3 and the control switch 7 are electrically connected by the extension cord 11.
In these electrical connections, the lead wires are displayed in different colors, so that they can be easily connected without error.

The code 8 of the control switch 7 includes one more lead wire, and the terminal 8d is attached to the end of the lead wire as shown in FIG. 8c and is connected to the wiring circuit 13 of the motorcycle.

The connection to the wiring circuit 13 is made via a positive interrupt wire 14 and a negative interrupt wire 15 as shown in FIG. That is, the plus interrupt wire 14 is formed in a substantially Y-shape, and terminals 14a, 14b, and 14c are attached to the respective ends, and the terminal 14a is connected to the terminal 16a on the front stop switch 16 side, and the terminal 14b is connected to the wiring 17a. Side terminal 17a,
The terminal 14c is connected to the terminal 8d on the control switch 7 side.
Connect to each. That is, the plus side of the control switch 7 is interrupted and connected in the middle of the wiring 17 of the front stop switch 16.

On the other hand, the minus interrupt wire 15 is similarly formed in a substantially Y-shape, and has a terminal 15a, 1
5b and 15c are respectively attached. The terminal 15a is connected to the terminal 18a on the headlight 18 side, the terminal 15b is connected to the terminal 19a on the wiring 19 side, and the terminal 15c is connected to the terminal 8c on the control switch 7 side. That is, the minus side of the control switch 7 is interrupted and connected in the middle of the wiring 19 of the headlight 18. The terminal 8c has a bipolar structure so that the terminal 15c of the minus interrupt wire 15 and the terminal 11c of the extension cord 11 can be connected.

Thus, the control switch 7
Can be interrupted and connected to the wiring circuit 13 of the motorcycle, and the wiring circuit 13 is connected to the battery 20 (FIG. 1,
3), the battery 20
, The control switch 7 is energized.
When the control switch 7 is turned on, the heating element 3 is energized via the extension cord 11 and generates heat, so that the seating surface of the saddle cover body 1 can be warmed. When the control switch 7 is turned off, the power supply to the heating element 3 is cut off and the heat generation stops.

Since the heating element 3 is connected to the thermostat 4 as described above, it does not overheat to a predetermined temperature or more, and there is no fear of burns or fire. The control switch 7 preferably has a three-stage switching structure of, for example, Hi, Lo, and OFF, instead of the two-stage switching of ON and OFF, because it is possible to adjust the heat generation temperature of the heating element 3. The control switch 7 is attached to the base of the rear-view mirror 10 as described above.
Operation is easy.

By heating the seating surface of the saddle cover body 1 by the heating element 3 in this manner, even when the motorcycle is operated for a long time in the winter, it is possible to prevent the waist from cooling down.
A comfortable and safe driving environment can be provided. The present invention can be applied not only to a motorbike but also to a motorcycle.The extension cord is fixed along the body of the vehicle body so as not to be in the way, and further covered with an appropriate cover material. It is possible to protect.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention,
The heating element of the saddle cover body and the control switch can be easily connected via an extension cord, and the control switch and the wiring circuit of a motorcycle such as a motorcycle can be easily connected via an interrupt wire. In addition, the present invention has an excellent effect that the electric wiring of the heating element can be easily performed, and the winter saddle cover can be easily attached to the motorcycle.
