Description

  The present invention is attached near the knee of a rider suit, can rub the knee at the time of hang-off and can detect contact with the road surface (bank) in order to prevent the vehicle body from being tilted too much, and can be replaced by wear. Is related to the change bank sensor.

  In general, as shown in FIG. 11, the bank sensor drops the body largely inward and runs through the corner in a low posture that hangs down, so that the rider suit R is rubbed with the knee to keep the vehicle body from the road surface (bank). The bank angle θ is maintained and the hang-off traveling is safely performed without waste.

In the old days, this bank sensor has sewn a material with excellent wear resistance, such as leather, in the vicinity of the knee of the rider suit R. However, since leather is expensive and wears quickly, As disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-45570, a material in which an abrasion-resistant plastic material (resin lump) is attached to a base cloth (base) has come to be used. Even though the resin mass is excellent in wear resistance, it is cheaper than leather and is light in weight and easy to use, and has been widely welcomed by riders.
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-45570

  However, the conventional bank sensor always replaces the base even if the base attached to the vicinity of the rider suit's knees can be used continuously if the resin mass wears out due to repeated knee rubbing. There was a waste that had to be done.

  The present invention is for solving the above-mentioned problems, and the object of the present invention is to provide a resin mass (resin sensor) to be exchangeable with respect to the base, and to prepare a resin mass separately when the resin mass is worn out. It is to provide a new change bank sensor that can be easily exchanged without waste.

  In order to achieve the above object, a change bank sensor according to the present invention includes a core material in which cylindrical nuts are erected at a plurality of locations, and a base in which the core material is embedded between front and back layers and the cylindrical nut protrudes from the surface layer. And a resin lump provided with a stepped hole for inserting a coupling screw at a position corresponding to the nut opening of the cylindrical nut protruding from the base, and the base remains attached to the rider suit and the resin Only the lump (resin sensor) can be replaced.

(A) is a perspective view, (b) is a plan view, FIG. 7 is a cylindrical nut after improvement, (a) is a perspective view, (b) is a plan view, and FIG. It is a top view of a resin lump, (a) is an overlap side resin lump, (b) is a overlap side resin lump, FIG. 9 is a partial sectional view showing a fixed state of the overlap side resin lump and a fixed state of the overlap side resin lump. FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing the resin mass and the coupling screw that are overlaid, and FIG. 11 is a front view of the motorcycle showing the hang-off running.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the bank sensor 1 of the present application has a resin lump (resin sensor) 3 on a base 2 and a coupling screw 5 inserted into stepped holes 4 provided at a plurality of locations (four locations in the figure) on the upper surface thereof. Removably attached. The resin lump 3 is made of a hard resin material such as super hard polyurethane. Of course, other materials, for example, a special hard wax blended super hard polyurethane elastomer, hard polyurethane elastomer, hard resin, or soft resin can be selected.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the base 2 has a core material 6 interposed between the surface layer 2a and the back layer 2b, and a cylindrical nut 7 erected on the core material 6 has a surface layer 2a. A stepped hole 4 having a stepped portion 4a of the resin lump 3 provided at a position corresponding to the nut opening of the cylindrical nut 7 is fitted, and a coupling screw 5 is inserted into the stepped hole 4 Then, it can be fixed by screwing using a driver tool (not shown). That is, the flange portion of the coupling screw 5 is locked to the step portion 4 a of the stepped hole 4. In this case, if the connecting screw 5 is provided with a through hole 5 'in the shaft center as shown in FIG. 2B, the resin mass 3 is worn by rubbing the knee, and at the same time, the connecting screw 5 is crushed. Even in the case, it is effective in that it can contribute to the escape of the screw.

The reason why the resin lump 3 is detachably attached to the base 2 is that when the resin lump 3 is worn, it can be replaced with a spare (a resin lump prepared separately). In addition to selling only the base 3 and only the resin lump 3, this also provides various types of spare resin lump 3 for each material so that the user (rider) can select it according to his / her preference. It is to do.

The resin mass 3 has a necessary thickness and has a slightly curved surface on the base side so as to match the shape of the knee mounting portion. In the drawing, the appearance is configured in a “turtle shell” shape, but is not limited to this, and other shapes such as a circle or a hexagon can be freely used. In addition, although the groove surface is provided with three groove patterns along the width direction, it can be changed to other patterns, and the color layer can be changed in the thickness direction. The concave groove pattern and the color layer are used as a guide for the replacement time of the resin mass 3 due to the disappearance of the concave groove due to the wear and the change of the surface color. Further, the resin mass 3 is formed in various colors in advance, and the selection range according to the preference of the user (rider) is widened.

  The base 2 has a flat starfish shape (of course, round shape, oval shape, hexagonal shape, etc.) in the drawing, and it is easy to be familiar with the special shape near the knee (the knee out side) of the rider suit. ing. As shown in FIG. 3, a core member 6 is interposed in the center of the base 2. The core material 6 is clamped and fixed by a brazing material 8 that is penetrated together with the surface layer 2a of the base 2 and the back layer 2b of the base 2 (see FIG. 4). In addition, you may sew with a thread | yarn, without using the collar material 8. FIG.

The periphery of the base 2 is sewn (indicated by a thick broken line) with a thread Y resistant to friction, such as Kepler (trademark), and the front and back layers are integrated. Further, on the outer surface of the back layer 2b of the base 2, the male side (or female side) of the velvet fastener that can be fixed to the female side (or male side) 9 of the velvet fastener sewn near the knee of the rider suit R. 10 is formed (by adhesive bonding or sewing).

  A cylindrical nut 7 erected at a plurality of locations (four corner arc portions) of the core 6 raises a plurality of (four in the figure) claw pieces 7b around the seat portion 7a. The piece 7b is pierced from the back surface of the core material 6 to the upper surface and bent and locked on the upper surface (see FIG. 5). In this case, the non-improved cylindrical nut 7 has claw pieces 7b raised on the seat portion 7a facing the same direction as shown in FIG. 6 (a). Accordingly, when the core material 6 is pierced from the back surface to the top surface and bent at the top surface, as shown in (b), when the bending direction becomes the same direction, the coupling screw 5 is screwed into the cylindrical nut 7 or loosened. Depending on how it is turned (for example, in the direction of the arrow), the locking portion of the cylindrical nut 7 turns and loosens.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), the improved cylindrical nut 7 is formed so as to face each other like two adjacent claw pieces 7b and 7b among the plurality of claw pieces 7b. When piercing from the back surface to the upper surface and bending at the upper surface, as shown in (b), when facing the opposite shape, the coupling screw 5 to be screwed into the cylindrical nut 7 can be turned in any direction. The locking portion of the nut 7 is not loosened. Needless to say, when the core member 6 is pierced from the back surface to the upper surface and bent at the upper surface, each claw piece 7b may be directed to the cylindrical nut 7 or at least one claw piece. Should not be in the same direction.

The cylindrical nut 7 only needs to be erected at a plurality of locations of the core member 6. As described above, the claw pieces 7 b raised around the seat portion 7 a are pierced from the back surface to the upper surface of the core member 6. However, although it is bent and locked on the upper surface, it is needless to say that the core material 6 may be insert-molded.

  In the bank sensor 1 of the present application, a cylindrical nut 7 protrudes from the surface layer 2 a of the base 2, and a stepped hole 4 of the resin lump 3 is fitted into this, and a coupling screw 5 inserted into the stepped hole 4 is inserted. When the screw is screwed in, the collar portion is locked and fixed to the stepped portion 4a, but another resin lump 3 prepared in addition to this resin lump 3 is used to make it last twice as long and can be used. is there. Of course, the bank angle θ (see FIG. 11) at the time of knee rubbing may be made shallower.

That is, as shown in FIG. 8A, a stepped hole 4 into which the coupling screw 5 is inserted at a position corresponding to the nut opening of the cylindrical nut 7 of the base 2 and a plurality of positions (4 in the figure) from which the stepped hole 4 is removed. And a stepped hole 4 'for inserting a coupling screw 5' corresponding to the embedded nut 11 of the resin mass 3 ', as shown in FIG. Provided. The overlapped resin mass 3 'is integrated on the overlapped resin mass 3 by a coupling screw 5' inserted into a stepped hole 4 'as shown in FIG. In this case, even if the overlapping resin lump 3 ′ is worn, the overlapping resin lump 3 is not affected at all. That is, the overlapped resin mass 3 is originally fixed to the base 2 originally.

FIG. 10 shows a case where the same resin mass 3 is used in an overlapping manner. In this case, since the stepped holes 4 of the overlapped resin masses 3 and 3 are also overlapped, they may be screwed into the cylindrical nut 7 of the base 2 using a long coupling screw 5 to be stacked in two steps. Of course. Further, the resin mass 3 may be adjusted in a direction in which the bank angle is shallow by stacking three or more stages. That is, the bank angle θ (see FIG. 11) at the time of knee rubbing becomes shallow depending on the number of the resin masses 3 to be piled up, so that it functions effectively especially in running on rainy weather.

  Since the bank sensor 1 of the present application makes the base 2 and the resin mass 3 detachable, the resin mass 3 attached to the base 2 can be easily attached via a velvet-type fastener sewn near the knee of the rider suit R. As a result, riders can prevent over-tilting of the vehicle body while rubbing knees during cornering in motorcycle racing, and contribute to safe and stable running. Widely used by motorcycle manufacturers, motorcycle equipment sales manufacturers and other resin manufacturers It is a commodity to be handled and has extremely high industrial applicability.
