Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a front wheel fixing jig used when a motorcycle (including a scooter type) is loaded on a trailer or the like and transported.
[0002]
[Prior art]
BACKGROUND ART When a motorcycle or the like is loaded on a trailer and transported, a frame-shaped case is used to prevent the vehicle body from being damaged by lateral displacement or vertical vibration. Recently, a returnable case that can be used many times has been used as a case. (Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2)
[0003]
In Patent Literature 1, a concave portion in which the front wheel and the rear wheel of the motorcycle are fitted into the floorboard is formed. In particular, a concave portion for fixing the front wheel is formed obliquely, and is fixed with the steering wheel turned off, so that the entire length of the motorcycle is secured. Is shortened and transported. Further, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-157, a device is dropped into a front wheel receiving device (fixing jig) and fixed. In some cases, the motorcycle is fixed using only a fixing jig for the front wheels without the case.
[0004]
(Patent Document 1) JP-A-10-95431 (Patent Document 2) JP-A-2000-335679
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the prior art described above, since the fixing jig itself has no degree of freedom in the shape, when transporting motorcycles of different types in a mixed manner, the positions of the steps and handles, and further, the positions of the front and rear ends of the vehicle body Are disjointed and difficult to fix, causing a positional shift during transportation, which may damage the vehicle body.
[0006]
The use of the auxiliary jig can also align the positions of the steps and the handle, but the loading and unloading work efficiency deteriorates, and the auxiliary jig may be detached during transportation.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a front wheel fixing jig for a motorcycle, a frame body including a parallel front frame member and a rear frame member, a front slide member slidably engaged with the front frame member, A rear slide member slidably engaged with the rear frame member, a left and right cross member bridged between the front slide member and the rear frame member, and slidably engaged with each of the left and right cross members. Left and right slide members, side members mounted on each of the left and right slide members so as to be vertically adjustable, a front wheel mounting member mounted between the left and right side members, and a front wheel mounted between the left and right side members. And an upper member for positioning a front end of the upper member.
[0008]
Further, a front wheel fixing jig of a motorcycle according to another invention includes a frame having a front frame member at a front edge, a front slide member engaged with the front frame member so as to be position-adjustable, and a position adjustment to the frame. A rear slide member which is engaged and is adjustable in height, a left and right cross member which is provided between the front slide member and the rear slide member, and which is provided between the front frame member and the rear slide member. And a front wheel mounting member.
[0009]
By adopting the above-described configuration, even in a case where motorcycles of different types are mixed, the heights of the steps, seats or steering wheels of each motorcycle can be made equal, and individually fixed so that the fixed positions of the steps match. The front and rear positions of the vehicle can be adjusted.
[0010]
In addition, the members can be easily manufactured by using a pipe material except for the mounting member.
[0011]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a view for explaining a use state of a front wheel fixing jig for a motorcycle according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an overall perspective view of a front wheel fixing jig for a motorcycle according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a front wheel fixing for the same motorcycle. FIG. 4 is a plan view of a main part of the jig, FIG. 4 is a view in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is a side view in the direction B of FIG.
[0012]
The front wheel fixing jig fixes a front frame member 2 made of a pipe material on a front edge of a rectangular frame 1 and a rear frame member 3 made of a pipe material inside a rear edge of the frame 1. I have. The front frame member 2 and the rear frame member 3 are parallel.
[0013]
A front slide member 4 made of a pipe material having a larger diameter than the front frame member 2 is slidably engaged with the front frame member 2, and a pipe having a larger diameter than the rear frame member 3 is engaged with the rear frame member 3. A rear slide member 5 made of a material is slidably engaged. The front slide member 4 and the rear slide member 5 are fixed to the front frame member 2 and the rear frame member 3 at arbitrary positions by bolts or the like.
[0014]
Between the front slide member 4 and the rear slide member 5, a pair of left and right cross members 6, 6 made of a pipe material are provided. These cross members 6, 6 are arranged obliquely with respect to the front-back direction.
[0015]
A slide member 7 made of a pipe material having a diameter larger than that of the cross member 6 is slidably engaged with the cross member 6, and the slide member 7 is fixed at an arbitrary position of the cross member 6 by a bolt 8.
[0016]
A side member 9 made of a pipe material and having a U-shaped side surface is attached to each of the right and left slide members 7 so that the vertical position can be adjusted. The side member 9 is fixed to the slide member 7 by a bolt 10 at an arbitrary height position.
[0017]
A front wheel mounting member 11 made of a plate material is mounted between lower ends of the left and right side members 9. The front wheel mounting member 11 may be a punched metal, a wire mesh, or the like. An upper member 12 made of a pipe material having a U-shape in a plan view is attached between upper ends of the left and right side members 9. The upper member 12 has a front end closed to act as a stopper (positioning) for the front wheel. It is preferable that a protective material such as sponge is wound around the outer surface of the upper member 12 so as not to damage the tires and wheels.
[0018]
In the above, the positions of the front slide member 4 and the rear slide member 5 are adjusted to move the left and right positions of the entire front wheel, and the height position of the side member 9 is adjusted to change the height of the front wheel. To change the front-back position, the position of the slide member 7 is adjusted.
[0019]
FIG. 6 is an overall perspective view of a front wheel fixing jig according to another embodiment. FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of a main part of FIG. A front slide member 24 made of a large-diameter pipe material is slidably engaged with the front frame member 22. A rear slide member 25 is fixed on the rear edge of the frame 1.
[0020]
Between the front slide member 24 and the rear slide member 25, a pair of left and right cross members 26, 26 are installed diagonally, and below the cross member 26, a front wheel mounting member 27 made of a plate material is provided.
[0021]
The rear slide member 25 is composed of three U-shaped pipes 25a, 25b, and 25c having different sizes, and these U-shaped pipes 25a, 25b, and 25c are fixed to the frame 1 at arbitrary positions. When the large-size U-shaped pipe 25a is fixed to the frame 1, the position of the front wheel mounting member 27 becomes high, and the small-size U-shaped pipe 25c is fixed to the frame 1. , The position of the front wheel mounting member 27 is lowered.
[0022]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the front wheel fixing jig according to the present invention, even when motorcycles of different models are mixed, the height of the steps, seats or handles of each motorcycle can be made uniform, and The front and rear positions of the vehicle body can be individually adjusted so that the fixed positions such as the same position. That is, the positions of the front wheels of the motorcycle in the left-right direction, the front-rear direction, and the height direction can be easily changed.
As a result, when motorcycles are loaded on a trailer and transported, even if motorcycles of different models are loaded side by side, the steps etc. can be aligned at the same height without using special auxiliary jigs, It is extremely effective for transporting motorcycles with a short cycle of launching a new model.
