A vehicle body frame having a rear frame portion extending rearward and having a footrest portion formed thereon, a front cover covering the front fork, and a flasher supported by the front cover, The front cover is located in front of the head pipe in the vehicle front-rear direction, and is separate from the center cover and a center cover having a lower outer end that is located outward from the lower side in the vehicle width direction when viewed from the front. The upper end of the central cover is connected to the lower outer end of the central cover, and extends downward from the inner end of the upper end in a front view. A pair of left and right side covers located on the lower side, and the side cover is at least partially located at the same height as the lower outer end of the center cover in a front view. A bulging portion that bulges laterally in the vehicle width direction from the outer end portion is formed, and a flasher opening in which the flasher is disposed is formed in the bulging portion.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the scooter which made compatible the improvement of the visibility of a flasher, and slimming of the cover of a vehicle front part is realizable.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the scooter 1 according to this embodiment includes a front cover 2 having a central cover 30 and a pair of left and right side covers 60 </ b> L and 60 </ b> R. In the following description, the left side and the right side refer to the left side and the right side as viewed from the person who rides the scooter 1, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the scooter 1 includes a vehicle body frame 6. The vehicle body frame 6 includes a head pipe 6A, a down tube 6B extending obliquely downward and rearward from the head pipe 6A, and a rear frame portion 6C. The rear frame portion 6C is connected to the down tube 6B by welding or the like. The rear frame portion 6C extends rearward from the down tube 6B. A footrest portion 70 is formed above the rear frame portion 6C. A seat 71 is provided on the rear upper side of the footrest 70. FIG. 2 is a view for explaining the vehicle body frame 6. The specific shape of the front cover 2 is different from that of the embodiment (the shape shown in FIG. 1 and the like). Further, in FIG. 2, illustration of a flasher 65 and the like which will be described later is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the scooter 1 includes a front wheel 3 and a front fork 4 that supports the front wheel 3. The front fork 4 includes a pair of left and right fork pipes 5L and 5R, a steering shaft 7 (see FIG. 5) rotatably supported by the head pipe 6A, a lower end portion of the steering shaft 7, and both fork pipes 5L and 5R. And an under bracket 8 to be connected. A front fender 9 is disposed above the front wheel 3. The fork pipes 5L and 5R penetrate the front fender 9 and extend rearward and obliquely upward. When the rider rotates the handle 10, the steering shaft 7, the fork pipes 5L and 5R, and the under bracket 8 are rotated accordingly, and the front wheel 3 is rotated.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a handle 10 is arranged above and behind the head pipe 6A. The handle 10 is provided with a handle cover 11. The handle cover 11 is a cover that covers at least the front portion of the handle 10. The handle cover 11 is formed separately from the front cover 2.

  As described above, the front cover 2 includes the center cover 30 and the side covers 60L and 60R, and further includes the leg shield 80 (see FIG. 6) and the inner fender 81 (see FIG. 8). The central cover 30, the left side cover 60L, and the right side cover 60R are separate from each other and are assembled with each other. Note that the front cover 2 of the present embodiment is merely an example, and for example, the side covers 60L and 60R are vertically divided into two parts, and various cover division positions are different from those of the present embodiment. Belonging to.

《Center cover》
As shown in FIG. 1, the central cover 30 is disposed above the front wheel 3 in a front view. More specifically, the center cover 30 is disposed above the front fender 9. As shown in FIG. 2, the center cover 30 is disposed in front of the head pipe 6A. As shown in FIG. 1, the center cover 30 is disposed below the handle cover 11 in a front view. In the present embodiment, the lower end portion of the handle cover 11 enters the inside of the central cover 30. In other words, the lower end portion of the handle cover 11 and the upper end portion of the central cover 30 overlap with each other in the vertical direction. However, the lower end portion of the handle cover 11 may be positioned above the upper end portion of the center cover 30. That is, the lower end portion of the handle cover 11 and the upper end portion of the center cover 30 do not have to overlap with each other in the vertical direction.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the center cover 30 is inclined forward and downward in a side view. Further, the central cover 30 is generally curved so as to go rearward from the center in the vehicle width direction toward the outside. In other words, the center cover 30 is curved so as to surround the periphery of the head pipe 6A (see FIG. 4). The central cover 30 has a bulging portion 30f that bulges toward the headlight opening 40 toward the front of the vehicle. As shown in FIG. 1, the center cover 30 is located above the lower outer end portion 30A and the lower outer end portion 30A toward the center side in the vehicle width direction as it goes downward as viewed from the front, The upper outer end portion 30 </ b> B heads toward the center side in the vehicle width direction as it goes upward. That is, the lower outer end portion 30A is formed so that the upper side from the lower side is located outward in the vehicle width direction when viewed from the front. The upper outer end portion 30B is formed so that the lower side is positioned outward from the upper side in the vehicle width direction when viewed from the front.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a headlight opening 40 is formed at the center of the center cover 30 in the vehicle width direction and below the vertical direction. The headlight opening 40 is formed in an oval shape whose vertical length is longer than the horizontal length. One headlight opening 40 is formed in the central cover 30. The length of the headlight opening 40 in the left-right direction is about ½ of the maximum length of the central cover 30 in the left-right direction. The vertical length of the headlight opening 40 is about ½ of the maximum length of the central cover 30 in the vertical direction. Thus, in the present embodiment, the headlight opening 40 is formed to be relatively large.

  As shown in FIG. 6, a headlight 45 is disposed inside the headlight opening 40. The headlight 45 includes a headlight housing 82, a lamp 42, and a lens 43. A lens 43 covering the outside of the lamp 42 is fitted in the headlight opening 40. As shown in FIG. 3, as with the central cover 30, the lens 43 is also inclined forward and downward in a side view. The lens 43 protrudes forward from the center cover 30. The upper end 40t of the headlight 45 also protrudes forward from the central cover 30.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a horn hole 41 is formed in the center cover 30. The horn hole 41 is formed in the upper right part of the center cover 30 in a front view. In the present embodiment, two horn holes 41 are provided. Each horn hole 41 is formed in a substantially oval shape when viewed from the front. Both horn holes 41 are arranged vertically. Both horn holes 41 are formed at a position higher than the headlight opening 40. Note that the horn 12 is disposed behind the horn holes 41.

  On the surface side of the central cover 30, a substantially V-shaped valley line 31 in front view and a valley line 32 that extends vertically outside the headlight opening 40 in the vehicle width direction are formed. The valley line 32 is formed on the lower side of the center cover 30. The valley line 32 has a shape that is located outward in the vehicle width direction as it goes upward in a front view, and is formed on each of the left and right sides. The central cover is formed of a central portion 30C located between the left and right valley lines 32 and side portions 30L and 30R disposed on the left and right of the central portion 30C outside the valley line 32 in the vehicle width direction. In other words, the inner side and the outer side of the valley line 32 are formed such that the central portion 30C and the side portions 30L and 30R have different surface inclinations (extending directions). A ridge line may be formed instead of the valley line 32. The “valley line” referred to here is a line formed by connecting portions recessed from both sides in a line. “Ridge line” refers to a line formed by connecting portions that are more convex than both sides in a line. In addition, the inclination of the surface is different between the inside and the outside of the ridgeline.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the front cover 2 has a contour that is recessed inward at a boundary portion 50 between the central cover 30 and the side covers 60L and 60R when viewed from the front. The boundary portion 50 is a lower outer end portion 30A that is a boundary portion between the side covers 60L and 60R in the central cover 30 and an upper end portion 60A that is a boundary portion between the central cover 30 in each side cover 60L and 60R. And divided. In a front view, a portion (upper outer end portion 30B) above the upper end 35t of the lower outer end portion 30A of the central cover 30 is formed in a shape such that the lateral width becomes narrower as it goes upward. Further, when viewed from the front, the portion below the upper end 35t of the lower outer end 30A of the central cover 30 is formed in a shape such that the lateral width becomes narrower as it goes downward. The lower outer end portion 30 </ b> A of the center cover 30 is formed on the side portion of the center cover 30 over the vehicle diagonal direction. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the size of the connecting portion between the central cover 30 and the side covers 60L and 60R from increasing in the vehicle width direction while ensuring the strength of the connecting portion.

<Side cover>
As shown in FIG. 1, the left side cover 60L and the right side cover 60R extend substantially downward from the left side and the right side of the center cover 30 toward the side of the front wheel 3 in a front view. ing. The upper ends 60A of the side covers 60L and 60R are connected to the lower outer end 30A of the central cover 30. The side covers 60L and 60R are separate from the central cover 30 and extend downward from the inner end of the upper end 60A in front view.

  Each of the side covers 60L and 60R has a bulging portion 61 that spreads further outward in the vehicle width direction than the lower outer end portion 30A of the central cover 30. The bulging portion 61 is at least partially located at the same height as the lower outer end portion 30 </ b> A of the central cover 30. The bulging portion 61 protrudes toward the surface side. Here, the “surface side” means the front side of the front and back sides of the side covers 60L and 60R. In other words, the “surface side” is the side exposed to the outside. The bulging portion 61 is a portion bulging with respect to a line in which the central cover 30 and the side covers 60L and 60R are continuously (smoothly) connected in a front view. In other words, the bulging portion 61 is a portion where the tangent lines of the central cover 30 and the side covers 60L and 60R of the connecting portion do not coincide with each other in a front view. Due to the presence of such a bulging portion 61, a recess is formed between the central cover 30 and the side covers 60L and 60R. As shown in FIG. 4, a part of the bulging portion 61 is visible in a plan view, and a flasher 65 is disposed in the visible portion.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the side covers 60 </ b> L and 60 </ b> R are inclined rearward and downward so as to go rearward as going downward. In the side view, the bulging portion 61 is a portion having the longest length in the front-rear direction in the side covers 60L and 60R.

  A flasher opening 62 is formed in each of the side covers 60L and 60R. The flasher opening 62 is formed in the bulging portion 61. The flasher opening 62 is formed in the vicinity of the upper end 60A. In other words, the flasher opening 62 is formed in the vicinity of the lower outer end 30 </ b> A of the center cover 30. The shape of the flasher opening 62 is not particularly limited, but in the present embodiment, it is formed in a substantially triangular shape that is pointed forward. A side 62a located inside the flasher opening 62 in the vehicle width direction extends rearward and obliquely upward, and is substantially parallel to the contour of the lower outer end 30A.

  As shown in FIG. 7, a flasher lamp 63 is disposed inside the flasher opening 62. A flasher lens 64 that covers the outside of the flasher lamp 63 is fitted into the flasher opening 62. As shown in FIG. 4, in a plan view, at least a part of the flasher lens 64 is located outward of the side covers 60L and 60R in the vehicle width direction at a predetermined position in the front-rear direction. That is, at least a part of the flasher lens 64 protrudes outward in the vehicle width direction from the side covers 60L and 60R at a predetermined position in the front-rear direction.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, the side cover 60L has a bent portion 60k bent from the upper end portion 60A toward the inner side in the vehicle width direction (left side in FIG. 9A). On the other hand, the lower outer end portion 30A of the central cover 30 has a protruding piece 30k extending obliquely downward. And the center cover 30 and the side cover 60L are combined so that this protrusion piece 30k may contact | abut to the upper surface of the bending part 60k. Although illustration is omitted, the combination of the right side cover 60R and the center cover 30 is the same.

  Next, the positional relationship between the headlight opening 40 and the flasher opening 62 will be described. A headlight lens 43 is fitted in the headlight opening 40, and a flasher lens 64 is fitted in the flasher opening 62. Therefore, the positional relationship between the headlight opening 40 and the flasher opening 62 is substantially the same as the positional relationship between the headlight lens 43 and the flasher lens 64.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the front end 40o in the vehicle width direction of the headlight opening 40 is positioned more inward than the inner end 62i of the flasher opening 62 in the vehicle width direction. In other words, in the vehicle width direction, a gap L1 is provided between the headlight opening 40 and the flasher opening 62. Further, in the vertical direction, the headlight opening 40 and the flasher opening 62 partially overlap. In other words, in front view, at least a part of the flasher opening 62 is positioned lower than the upper end 40t of the headlight opening 40 and higher than the lower end 40b. The position of the upper end 62t of the flasher opening 62 is lower than the upper end 40t of the headlight opening 40.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the upper end 40 t of the headlight opening 40 is a rear end 40 r of the headlight opening 40 in a side view. The rear end 40r of the headlight opening 40 is located slightly behind the front end 62f of the flasher opening 62. In the side view, the center 62 c of the flasher opening 62 is located behind the rear end 40 r of the headlight opening 40.

  Next, the positional relationship between the headlight opening 40 and the under bracket 8 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the headlight opening 40 is disposed at a position higher than the under bracket 8 in a front view. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the lower end 40 b of the headlight opening 40 is located in front of the under bracket 8. Since a part of the headlight 45 is located on the under bracket 8 side of the headlight opening 40, a space for arranging the headlight 45 and a cable connected to the headlight 45 is necessary, and the distance is secured. is required. However, since the bulging portion is formed around the headlight opening 40, the overall size can be reduced in the front-rear direction.

  Further, since a part of the flasher lamp 63 is located on the under bracket 8 side of the flasher opening 62, a space for arranging the flasher lamp 63 and a cable connected to the flasher lamp 63 is required. Securement is necessary. However, since the bulging portion is formed around the flasher opening 62, the overall size can be reduced in the width direction. Since both the headlight opening 40 and the flasher opening 40 are formed in the bulging portion, it is possible to provide a compact front periphery while ensuring the visibility of the headlight 45 and the flasher 65.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the flasher lamp 63 is disposed above the under bracket 8. Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the flasher lamp 63 is disposed in front of the head pipe 6A. The bulging portions 61 of the side covers 60 </ b> L and 60 </ b> R are located at the same height as the under bracket 8.

<< Effects of the Embodiment >>
As described above, according to the scooter 1 according to the present embodiment, the front cover 2 includes the center cover 30 and the side covers 60L and 60R. The center cover 30 has a lower outer end portion 30A that is located in front of the head pipe 6A in the front-rear direction of the vehicle and whose upper side is positioned outward from the lower side in the front view. The side covers 60L and 60R are separate from the central cover 30, and the upper end 60A is connected to the lower outer end 30A of the central cover 30 and extends downward from the inner end of the upper end 60A in a front view. It is located on the side of the front wheel 3. The side covers 60L and 60R are at least partially located at the same height as the lower outer end 30A of the central cover 30 in a front view, and bulge laterally in the vehicle width direction from the lower outer end 30A. It has a bulging portion 61 that does. The flasher opening 62 is formed in the bulging portion 61. Therefore, it is possible to ensure a wide space between the left and right flashers 65 without enlarging the entire side covers 60L and 60R in the width direction, and the visibility of the flashers 65 is improved. Therefore, according to the scooter 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to achieve both improvement in the visibility of the flasher 65 and slimming of the front cover 2.

  Further, since the center cover 30, the left side cover 60L, and the right side cover 60R are separate from each other, the center cover 30 and the side covers 60L and 60R are formed in a central portion as compared with the case where the center cover 30 and the side covers 60L and 60R are integrated. The rigidity of the cover 30 itself can be relatively small, and the center cover 30 can be slimmed. Moreover, since each cover 30, 60L, 60R is comparatively small, manufacture becomes easy.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, in the front view, the central cover 30 has a lateral width that increases from the boundary portion (lower outer end portion 30 </ b> A) with the side covers 60 </ b> L and 60 </ b> R to the upper side. It is formed in a shape that narrows. Therefore, slimming of the center cover 30 is promoted.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the lower ends 62 b of the flasher openings 62 of the side covers 60 </ b> L and 60 </ b> R are located above the lower end 30 b of the center cover 30. For this reason, the flasher 65 is positioned relatively on the upper side, so that the visibility of the flasher 65 can be improved. Moreover, since the bulging part 61 is located in the comparatively high position of the side part covers 60L and 60R, slimming is promoted.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the flasher openings 62 of the side covers 60L and 60R are located in the vicinity of the upper end 60A. In other words, the flasher openings 62 of the side covers 60L and 60R are located in the vicinity of the boundary portion between the central cover 30 and the side covers 60L and 60R. Therefore, the periphery of the flasher opening 62 can be opened to the outside simply by removing the central cover 30. Therefore, maintenance work and the like of the flasher 65 can be easily performed.

  By the way, when the center cover 30 and the side covers 60L and 60R are separate bodies, it is necessary to combine them, and in that case, there arises a problem that a misalignment is likely to occur at the mating portion. However, according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), the side covers 60L and 60R have the bent portion 60k bent from the upper end 60A toward the center in the vehicle width direction. The lower outer end 30A of the cover 30 has a protruding piece 30k extending obliquely downward. The central cover 30 and the side covers 60L and 60R are combined in a state where the protruding piece 30k of the central cover 30 is in contact with the upper surface of the bent portion 60k of the side covers 60L and 60R. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8B, even if the attachment position of the center cover 30 is slightly shifted, the shift L2 is not noticeable. As described above, since the side covers 60L and 60R have the bent portions 60k directed inward from the upper end 60A, the vicinity of the connecting portion between the center cover 30 and the side covers 60L and 60R can be formed in a compact manner. The appearance can be improved while being a structure.

  According to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, in a plan view, at least a part of the flasher lens 64 is positioned outside the side covers 60L and 60R in the vehicle width direction at a predetermined position in the front-rear direction. Yes. Therefore, the visibility of the flasher 65 can be further improved without increasing the size of the vehicle.

  Moreover, the bulging part 61 of each side part cover 60L and 60R protrudes toward the surface side. Therefore, the visibility of the flasher 65 can be further improved.

  As shown in FIG. 1, at least a part of the flasher opening 62 is located at a position lower than the upper end 40 t of the headlight opening 40 and higher than the lower end 40 b in plan view. In other words, at least a part of the flasher opening 62 is at the same height as the part of the headlight opening 40 in the vertical direction. Thus, in the scooter 1 according to the present embodiment, the center cover 30 is slimmed, and the headlight 45 and the flasher 65 are relatively close to each other. Such a layout is a layout that can be realized or easily realized because the visibility of the flasher 65 is high. That is, according to this embodiment, since the visibility of the flasher 65 is high, it is possible to make the headlight 45 and the flasher 65 relatively close while slimming the center cover 30.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the upper ends 62 t of the flasher openings 62 of the side covers 60 </ b> L and 60 </ b> R are positioned lower than the upper ends 40 t of the headlight openings 40 of the center cover 30 as viewed from the front. . Thereby, although the headlight 45 and the flasher 65 are overlapped in the height direction, the headlight 45 and the flasher 65 do not line up at a high position, so the front cover 2 is not increased in size and is made compact. be able to. The distinction between the headlight 45 and the flasher 65 becomes clearer, and the visibility of the flasher 65 can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, the upper end 35t of the lower outer end 30A of the center cover 30 is located between the upper end 40t and the lower end 40b of the headlight opening 40 in front view. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the headlight 45 is located at a relatively low portion of the center cover 30. Therefore, it becomes easy to provide an optical axis adjustment mechanism (not shown) of the headlight 45. Although the headlight 45 is attached to the central cover 30, the headlight 45 is attached to the lower part of the central cover 30, so that the size can be reduced.

  According to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the side cover 60L, 60R is inclined rearward and the center cover 30 is inclined downward in the side view as shown in FIG. This also makes it difficult for the headlight 45 and the flasher 65 to interfere with each other, and the visibility of the flasher 65 is improved.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the widest portion of the central cover 30 is located at a position lower than the upper end 40 t of the headlight opening 40 and higher than the lower end 40 b in the front view. Thus, the headlight 45 is provided in the widest part of the center cover 30. Therefore, it is only necessary to focus only on the widest part of the center cover 30, and the other parts of the center cover 30 can be easily slimmed. As a result, the entire central cover 30 can be made thinner than before.

  In the present embodiment, the headlight opening 40 is composed of a single oval opening whose vertical length is longer than the horizontal length. Since the amount of light required for the headlight 45 is determined, when the headlight opening 40 is a single opening, the size thereof is relatively large. However, in the present embodiment, the headlight opening 40 is not a perfect circle but an oval shape and is slim. Therefore, the slim central cover 30 can be realized despite the relatively large headlight opening 40 being formed.

  In the present embodiment, the center cover 30 has a bulging portion 30f that bulges forward (see FIG. 3), and the headlight opening 40 is formed in the bulging portion 30f. According to the present embodiment, since the headlight 45 and the flasher 65 are located in different positions in the front-rear direction, the visibility of the flasher 65 is sufficiently high even though the headlight 45 and the flasher 65 are at the same height position. Can be secured.

  The shapes of the headlight opening 40 and the headlight 45 are not limited to those of the above embodiment. Further, the shapes of the flasher opening 62 and the flasher 65 are not limited to those of the above embodiment. Various changes can be made to their shapes.

  As described above, the present invention is useful for scooters.
