JP2006327557A - Navigation system mounting method to tank back for motorcycle - Google Patents

Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To mount a safe and practical navigation system to a motorcycle in a simple way using a portable navigation system currently sold by each manufacturer. <P>SOLUTION: On an upper surface of the tank back, a monitor stand of the portable navigation system is fixed to a plate of plastic or metal closely adhered/fixed to an outer side or an inner side of the tank back using a screw or an adhesive. Further, in the case of rainy weather, map function of the portable navigation system can be used by using an exclusive cover. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a technique related to mounting a navigation system for a two-wheeled vehicle on a tank back.

  Currently, the spread of navigation systems for automobiles is widespread. On the other hand, the spread of navigation systems for two-wheeled vehicles is limited to only a few large scooters and portable navigation systems with extremely poor navigation functions.

  The risk of theft is great when installing a navigation system on a motorcycle.

  Two-wheeled vehicles have little space to install a navigation system.

  Even if the navigation system is attached, there is a risk that it may be a side-viewing operation depending on the attachment position.

  Depending on the mounting position, functions such as the map display function and voice guidance that the navigation system originally has cannot be fully demonstrated. Sunlight and motorcycle engine noise or noise are the main causes.

Although it has been devised to put a navigation system in the tank back, it is not practical and has not yet been commercialized. The current situation is that it does not play the role of the tank bag itself, which is used for baggage.

  The problems to be solved are theft and prevention of side-by-side driving due to the location of the navigation system, and the improvement of map display and voice guidance functions. And it is the recovery of the function of putting the baggage that the tank bag originally has.

  The monitor part of the navigation system or the entire navigation system is attached to the outer upper part such as a tankback for a motorcycle. In order to prevent damage due to rain or dust, the monitor portion of the navigation system or a dedicated cover that wraps the entire navigation system is provided.

  According to the present invention, a map image can be arranged on the line of sight of a driver's traffic driving by attaching a navigation system on the tank back of the two-wheeled vehicle. Therefore, it is possible to reduce obstacles in traffic driving such as aside driving.

  In normal driving, the voice guidance function and the like of the navigation system can be heard sufficiently by attaching it near the driver.

  And the image display part of the navigation system can easily change the vertical and various angles like those mounted on the car. The problem that images are difficult to see due to sunlight is eliminated.

  Many portable navigation systems currently sold by each manufacturer can easily separate the monitor stand part that fixes the main body part and the navigation system part, so the navigation system part can be removed from the tank back and carried around. It is not stolen.

  Since the navigation system is on the tank back, the tank back itself becomes a cushioning material and can protect the navigation system from vibration.

  If it rains, the rain cover with a transparent part covering the navigation system can protect the navigation system from rain without compromising the map function.

  The monitor stand of each manufacturer that sells navigation system equipment is directly bonded or fixed with screws or the like to a plate of plastic, metal or the like that is tightly fixed on the tank back or inside the tank back. It is possible to use a two-wheeled vehicle navigation system without inconvenience with simple and minimal components.

  1 and 2 are general views of a portable navigation system sold by each manufacturer mounted on a tank bag according to claim 1.

  FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which a plate made of plastic, metal, or the like is tightly fixed to the upper surface of the tank back on the outside of the tank back, and the monitor stand is directly fixed using an adhesive or a screw.

  FIG. 4 shows an example in which a plate made of plastic or metal is tightly fixed to the inner surface of the tank bag inside the tank bag, and the monitor stand is fixed using screws.

  5 and 6 are views showing a state in which the portable navigation system is removed from the monitor stand. The monitor stand is fixed to the outer side (FIG. 5) or the inner side (FIG. 6) of the tank back by using an adhesive or a screw or the like using a plate made of plastic, metal, or the like that is closely fixed to the tank back.

  FIG. 7 shows a cover for protecting the portable navigation system from rain and dust, and a partially transparent material is used so that the image display portion can be seen by the driver even when the cover is used.

  Fig. 8 shows that the portable navigation system is separated from the monitor stand, and the protruding part of the portable navigation (5 in Fig. 7) does not hinder driving when the cover that prevents rain and dust is attached to the tank back. It is housed in a cover with a bag-like structure. It is an example of Claim 3.

  From the map, the navigation system that has an overwhelming amount of information and has various useful functions can be used not only for automobiles but also for two-wheeled vehicles. It is one of the essential tools for motorcycle drivers.
