By the way, in the manufacturing process of a vehicle, it is requested | required that a some external appearance cover should be attached to a vehicle body frame easily and rapidly.
However, in the prior art described above, a plurality of external covers are fixed to the vehicle body frame by screwing or inserting into a grommet. Further, a plurality of external covers are connected (coupled) in advance by screwing or welding, and are fixed to the vehicle body frame. For this reason, when the number of external covers is large, it takes time to connect the external covers, and the attachment to the vehicle body also deteriorates.
Therefore, it has been desired to provide means that can easily connect a plurality of external covers with a simple configuration.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a connecting structure for appearance covers in a vehicle that can easily connect a plurality of appearance covers with a simple configuration.

  According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an exterior cover connection structure in a vehicle, comprising: a vehicle body; and an exterior cover that covers the vehicle body and is fixed to the vehicle body in a state where a plurality of sheets are joined together. A first cover that constitutes the exterior cover; a second cover that is disposed adjacent to the first cover; and a first end edge that is adjacent to the second cover on a back surface of the first cover. A plate-like first engaging portion extending along the vehicle body side and projecting toward the vehicle body, wherein the first end is formed on a surface of the first engaging portion located on the opposite side of the first end edge portion. A first engagement portion having a first recess formed so as to extend along the edge portion, and a second end edge portion adjacent to the first cover on the back surface of the second cover, and on the vehicle body side. A plate-like second engaging portion projecting toward the second engaging portion A second engaging portion having a second recess formed on the surface opposite to the second end edge so as to extend along the second end edge; and engageable with the first recess A first terminal portion curved to the second recess, a second terminal portion curved to be engageable with the second recess, and a connecting portion for connecting the first terminal portion and the second terminal portion. A clip member for coupling the first cover and the second cover by engaging the first terminal portion with the first recess and engaging the second terminal portion with the second recess, A cover-side retaining portion that is provided on one of the first cover and the second cover and restricts the clip member engaged with the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion from moving to one end side. And.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the configuration of the first aspect, the other end of the clip member provided on the vehicle body and engaged with the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion. It further includes a vehicle body side retaining portion that restricts movement of the clip member to the other end side by abutting on the side.

  According to a third aspect of the invention, in addition to the configuration of the first or second aspect, the exterior cover is a vehicle body cover that covers the vehicle body of a saddle-ride type vehicle having a rear wheel, and the first cover And the second cover is disposed on the front upper side of the rear wheel, the clip member is disposed at a position directed to the upper side of the rear wheel, and the cover side retaining portion is the first engaging portion. And it is arrange | positioned in the edge part by the side of the said rear wheel in the said 2nd engaging part, and it forms in plate shape so that the engaging part of this 1st engaging part and this 2nd engaging part and the said clip member may be covered. It is characterized by being.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in addition to the configuration according to any one of the first to third aspects, the other end side of the first engagement portion in the first cover or the second cover. The clip member that is provided on at least one of the other end sides of the second engagement portion and engages with the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion is restricted from moving to the other end side. A cover side claw portion is further provided.

  In addition to the structure of Claim 4, in the invention of Claim 5, the said clip member is arrange | positioned so that it may face in an up-down direction, The said cover side retaining part is a lower side of the said clip member It is arrange | positioned at the edge part side of this, The said cover side nail | claw part is arrange | positioned at the edge part side above the said clip member, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.

  According to invention of Claim 1, while engaging the 1st terminal part of a clip member with the 1st recessed part of the 1st engaging part in a 1st cover, it is 2nd of the 2nd engaging part in a 2nd cover. By engaging the second terminal portion of the clip member with the recess, the first cover and the second cover can be easily coupled (connected). Further, by providing the cover-side retaining portion, the clip member engaged with the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion can be removed from one end side of the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion. Can be suppressed. Therefore, a plurality of appearance covers can be easily connected with a simple configuration.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the first cover and the second cover are assembled to the vehicle body, the first cover and the second cover are joined by the clip member to form a small assembly. The small assembly may be assembled to the vehicle body. Then, the clip member is brought into contact with the other end side of the clip member engaged with the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion, so that the clip member is brought into contact with the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion. It can suppress that it comes off from the other end side of a part.
Further, since the contact between the other end side of the clip member and the vehicle body side retaining portion is released simply by removing the small assembly of the first cover and the second cover from the vehicle body, the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion are released. The clip member can be easily pulled out from the other end side of the joint portion, and the connection between the first cover and the second cover can be easily released.
Therefore, it is possible to improve the ease of assembling the exterior cover to the vehicle body and the maintainability of the vehicle body.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, the first engaging portion, the engaging portion of the second engaging portion and the clip member can be covered by the cover side retaining portion. Therefore, it is possible to suppress mud or the like that is blown off by the rear wheel during traveling of the saddle riding type vehicle from adhering (adhering) to the engaging portion. Therefore, the maintainability of the vehicle body can be improved.

  According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the cover-side claw portion is provided on at least one of the other end side of the first engagement portion in the first cover or the other end side of the second engagement portion in the second cover. Thus, the clip member engaged with the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion can be prevented from coming off from the other end sides of the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion.

  According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the clip member arranged so as to be directed in the up-down direction is regulated to move downward by the cover side retaining portion, and moved upward by the cover side claw portion. Be regulated. Therefore, it can suppress that the clip member engaged with the 1st engaging part and the 2nd engaging part slips out from those upper side and lower side. In particular, by arranging the cover side retaining portion on the lower end side of the clip member, the retaining effect of the clip member can be enhanced.
