  When exporting a motorcycle overseas, the assembled motorcycle is housed in an outer case to form a package, which is attached to transportation. As an example of such a package, for example, in Patent Document 1, a motorcycle can be packed in an assembled state without removing a front wheel or a front fender, and can be dimensioned to meet the container standards. A motorcycle packaging body is described.

JP-A-6-263179

  When packing a motorcycle in an exterior case, the motorcycle lifted by a crane or the like is dropped into the exterior case from above and accommodated, and then the wheels are fixed to the floor frame of the exterior case. By fixing the wheels to the floor frame, the motorcycle can be accommodated in the outer case in a stable posture with respect to movement in the front-rear direction. However, it is not always sufficient for left and right (side) shaking, and if necessary, a metal support rod is placed between the rear wheel axle or handle core and the outer case column or ceiling frame. By interposing, the posture of the motorcycle is stabilized. In some cases, a metal support bar is interposed between a metal part such as a step or rear step and a handle grip end and an outer case.

  The operation of attaching such a metal support bar to a required location is difficult and requires a long time. In addition, since the metal rod does not have buffering properties, the vibration mitigation function at the time of transportation is not sufficient, and the motorcycle may be damaged when a large impact force is generated. In addition, many recent motorcycles also use resin products that have been painted as exterior members. Since these parts are easily damaged, there is a need for safer packaging materials for motorcycles that can avoid them. It has been.

  The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances as described above, and is a packaging material for a motorcycle that can more easily and effectively avoid damaging a packaged motorcycle during transportation or the like. It is another object of the present invention to provide a motorcycle package and a packaging method using the same.

  A packaging material for a motorcycle according to a first invention of the present application is a packaging material for a motorcycle including an exterior case that accommodates the motorcycle and a fixing tool that fixes the motorcycle accommodated in the exterior case. The outer case is composed of a floor frame, a column rising from the floor frame, and a top frame for fixing the upper end side of the column, and the fixture can be fixed using the floor frame of the outer case. A first member made of foamed resin, and a surface that can be temporarily fixed to the first member in a posture mounted on the first member and that comes into contact with a part of the motorcycle housed in the exterior case It is comprised with the 2nd member made from a foamed resin, and the 3rd member made from the foamed resin which can be latched to the said 1st member in the state which contacted the said 2nd member in the surface on the opposite side to the said contact surface. It is characterized by that.

  A motorcycle package according to a second invention of the present application is a motorcycle package using the above-described motorcycle packaging material, and the motorcycle housed in the exterior case includes the exterior case and the motorcycle. It is characterized by being accommodated in a state in which the foamed resin fixing tool is interposed between the side surface and the side surface of the foamed resin.

  A packaging method for a motorcycle according to a third invention of the present application is a packaging method for a motorcycle using the packaging material for a motorcycle described above, and includes a first step of housing the motorcycle in the exterior case, A second step of fixing the first member of the fixture using at least the floor frame of the outer case; and the second member of the fixture in a posture in which the contact surface is brought into contact with an appropriate position of the motorcycle. And at least a third step of temporarily fixing the first member to the first member and a fourth step of locking the third member of the fixture to the first member in a state of being in contact with the back side of the second member. It is characterized by.

  The motorcycle packaging body according to the present invention using the packaging material for motorcycles according to the present invention is not a metal material but a fixing device made of foamed resin as a member for restraining the motorcycle housed in the outer case from shaking sideways. Used. The foamed resin has moderate buffering properties, and the fixture normally functions as an effective cushioning material for the contained motorcycle, and even when excessive impact force is generated. Thus, the motorcycle can be prevented from being damaged. Moreover, even if the contact surface of the second member constituting the fixture is brought into contact with a place such as a painted resin product in the motorcycle, the motorcycle is not damaged, and the required supporting force is also obtained. It can be secured.

  Furthermore, since the fixing device made of foamed resin is individually separated when not in use and is composed of a plurality of members that can be assembled together at the time of packaging, the motorcycle is mounted in the process as in the third aspect of the invention. It can be packed. This assembling step can be easily performed using the space between the columns of the exterior case and the space between the exterior case and the accommodated motorcycle. In the case of a fixture composed of a single member, it is difficult to arrange the fixture with an appropriate support force between the exterior case and the motorcycle housed in the exterior case. In addition, a method of attaching a fixing member made of a single member in the exterior case in advance and accommodating the motorcycle later may cause the motorcycle to be heavy and break the foamed resin fixing device. Yes, not practical. In addition, it is normal for a motorcycle to be dropped into the exterior case from above, and when the location of the motorcycle to be in contact with the fixture has a curved surface, The contact surface of the fixing device made of foamed resin cannot be properly contacted along the curved surface.

  In the packaging material for motorcycles according to the present invention, the shape and size of the first, second and third members constituting the fixture are the shape and size of the exterior case to be used and the shape of the motorcycle to be accommodated. It is determined appropriately in consideration of the size. Although the shape of the contact surface of the second member may be a flat surface, it is preferably a shape that can accommodate the part according to the shape of the part on the motorcycle side with which the contact surface contacts. Thereby, vibrations in the vertical direction of the motorcycle can be effectively suppressed.

  In the present invention, the foamed resin material constituting the fixture is not particularly limited, but a foamed polystyrene resin is preferred from the viewpoint of excellent moldability and recyclability and economical efficiency. The expansion ratio is preferably about 20 to 30 times (0.05 g / L to 0.033 g / L) because both the strength to withstand the weight of the vehicle body and the appropriate buffering property are satisfied. If it is lower than 20 times, the buffering property is insufficient and the weight becomes heavy, making handling difficult. Those exceeding 30 times have insufficient strength and may be destroyed during transportation. In particular, the thickness of the second member constituting the fixture is preferably about 25 mm or more. If the thickness is less than 25 mm, the motorcycle may be damaged by overload depending on the expansion ratio.

  According to the motorcycle packaging material and the motorcycle packaging body and packaging method using the same according to the present invention, as a fixing tool between the outer case and the motorcycle housed therein, the fixing made of foamed resin composed of a plurality of members By using the tool, the packing work can be facilitated, and it is possible to effectively prevent the packed motorcycle from being damaged during transportation.
