  However, in general, in a saddle-ride type vehicle, the seat is disposed in the vicinity of the upper portion of the rear wheel in a side view, and thus greatly vibrates in the vertical direction as the rear wheel moves up and down during traveling. For this reason, in the article storage box provided below the seat as in the conventional example, the article jumps up and down, and the occupant tends to feel uncomfortable.

  In this regard, it is conceivable to provide a hook in the storage space and fix the article with a rubber band. In this case, after storing the article in a narrow storage space, it is troublesome to fix the article with a rubber band hooked on the hook. Work is required.

  In view of such a point, an object of the present invention is to provide an under-seat storage structure that suppresses jumping of articles stored in a space under the seat of a saddle-ride type vehicle and does not require any troublesome work.

  In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, in a saddle-ride type vehicle, a partition member that vertically partitions a storage space under a seat on which an occupant rides is provided to be openable and closable. Here, “openable / closable” means that a space below the partition member is opened so that articles can be stored and taken out from above. Therefore, you may provide a partition member so that removal is possible.

  In this storage structure, since the storage space under the seat is partitioned up and down by the partition member, jumping of the articles stored below the storage space can be suppressed. To store the article, it is only necessary to open the partition member and store the article below the partition member, and then close the article again. There is no need for troublesome work such as applying a rubber band to the article in the storage space. In addition, the article can be stored between the sheet above the partition member, and the jumping of the article can be suppressed.

  If a relatively soft resin material is used to form the partition member, it is easy to impart appropriate elasticity to the partition member, and the article may be pressed from above by the partition member. If it carries out like this, articles | goods can be stably hold | suppressed in the whole range of a partition member, ie, a wider range than a rubber band. The partition member itself may be formed of a relatively hard resin material or formed of an iron thin plate, and a cushion material may be attached thereto.

  Preferably, the partition member may be provided with a pressed portion that protrudes upward and contacts the sheet and is pressed downward from the sheet. If it carries out like this, since a partition member will be pressed below via a to-be-pressed part from a sheet | seat, and it will come to hold down the articles | goods under it, the jump of the articles | goods can be suppressed more reliably. It is preferable that the pressed parts are spaced apart from each other and arranged at three or more locations so as to contact the lower part or the side part of the sheet. In this way, substantially the entire partition member can be stably pressed downward.

  In addition, if the article stored below the partition member is an on-vehicle equipment such as a tool as an example, and the size and shape are predetermined, an uneven shape corresponding to the shape of these articles is formed in the partition member. May be. If it carries out like this, an article can be pressed down more stably and the utilization efficiency of storage space will also become high.

  In addition, the seat having the storage space below may be a rear seat on which the last passenger among the plurality of passengers riding in line in the front-rear direction of the saddle riding type vehicle. In this case, since the articles in the storage space are particularly likely to jump up and down, the effect of the invention of suppressing the jumping is particularly effective.

  In this case, the partition member may be arranged so as to swing up and down around the front support shaft so that the lower space is opened rearward. The storage space below the rear seat is often inclined so as to be lower toward the front in accordance with the shape of the rear fender. Therefore, if the space is opened rearward, the storage and removal of articles can be performed. Work can be done easily.

  Furthermore, you may provide the holding | maintenance part which hold | maintains a vehicle-mounted electrical component on the upper surface of the partition member so that a vehicle-mounted electrical component can be accommodated also in the space above a partition member. As an example, when storing an ETC on-board unit, the holding unit is a separate holding member from the partition member, and the ETC on-board unit is placed on one side in either the front-rear or left-right direction. You may hold | maintain so that it may open and may rock | fluctuate in the up-down direction around the spindle near the other side opposite to it. In this case, the ETC card can be easily inserted and removed by swinging the holding member upward.

  Further, the holding portion may be provided with a stopper so as to protrude upward in the vicinity of the in-vehicle electrical component and to come into contact with the lower portion of the seat. In this way, when an occupant rides on the seat, the load applied to the in-vehicle electrical component directly from the seat receiving the weight can be reduced, which is advantageous in improving the reliability of the in-vehicle electrical component. In other words, the vicinity of the in-vehicle electrical component provided with the stopper refers to a range in which the load from the lower portion of the seat can be received and the load on the in-vehicle electrical component can be effectively reduced.

  As described above, according to the under-seat storage structure of the saddle-ride type vehicle according to the present invention, since the partition member that divides the storage space up and down can be opened and closed, the jumping of the stored articles can be suppressed, Therefore, there is no need to put a rubber band on the article, and the convenience is high.

Thus, the left and right widened portions 43b and 44b (pressed portions) of the cover 40 are pressed portions 190d that press the left and right wide portions 43b and 44b (pressed portions). On the other hand, an upward bulging portion 190e is formed on the bottom plate 190 on the inner side of the left and right protrusions 190c, and the storage space S is enlarged accordingly.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a pin 190 f that is engaged with the lock mechanism 29 on the vehicle body frame side is disposed at the front end portion of the bottom plate 190 of the rear seat 19, while the rear end portion of the bottom plate 190 is described in detail. As will be described later, a pressing portion 190g is formed so as to press the extended portion 45b (pressed portion) at the rear end of the cover 40 from above. As shown in FIG. 3, the rear seat 19 has a left-right symmetrical shape with the vehicle body center line X in between, and has a trapezoidal shape in which the left and right widths gradually narrow toward the rear. On the other hand, the rear edge protrudes rearward near the center of the left and right, and has a hexagonal shape like a shield as a whole.

  When the rear seat 19 is removed and viewed obliquely from above as shown in FIG. 6, the storage space S is surrounded by the front seat 18, the rear tail lamp 22, and the left and right rear cowls 21 and opens upward. A cover 40 that divides the inside up and down is placed between the left and right rear frames 28. As shown in FIG. 7, when viewed from above, the cover 40 has a substantially rectangular shape, and its front edge is formed substantially linearly along the connecting plate member 30 such as a steel plate that connects the left and right rear frames 28 together. On the other hand, the rear edge of the cover 40 is curved in a substantially arc shape in accordance with the shape of the rear end plate member 31 connecting the rear ends of the left and right rear frames 28.

  As an example, the cover 40 is a molded product of a resin material having flexibility such as polypropylene, and as shown in FIG. 8 alone, the bottom wall 41 and its outer peripheral edge, that is, the front edge, the rear edge, and the left and right sides It is a tray shape which has the wall parts 42-45 each extended upwards from an edge. As shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 8, a bifurcated pin arrangement portion projecting upward is formed at the corner where the left and right ends of the front wall portion 42 of the cover 40 are respectively connected to the left wall portion 43 and the right wall portion 44. 46 is formed, and the cover 40 is rotatably supported by the connecting plate member 30 on the vehicle body side via a pin 47 (see FIG. 6) disposed here.

  That is, the cover 40 is disposed so as to swing vertically around a pair of pins 47 (support shafts) disposed substantially coaxially with each other at both left and right end portions of the front edge thereof. Thus, the state is switched between a state where the lower space is closed and a state where the lower space is opened as shown in FIG. On the other hand, a rectangular opening 45a is provided in the left and right central portions of the rear wall portion 45 of the cover 40 as shown in FIG. 9, and an extending portion 45b extending rearward from the upper side thereof is formed.

The latching claw portion 45c is latched at the center portion. When the cover 40 is lifted from here, the locking claw portion 45 c is elastically deformed and detached from the front edge of the rear end plate member 31. Due to the synergistic effect of the cover 40 having flexibility and the opening 45a formed below the extended portion 45b, the locking claw portion 45c is easily elastically deformed, and Engagement and release can be performed easily.

  Further, the extending portion 45b is a pressed portion that is pressed by the pressing portion 190g of the rear end portion of the bottom plate 190 of the rear seat 19 in a state where the extending portion 45b overlaps the rear end plate member 31 as shown in FIG. Similarly, on the left and right sides of the cover 40, pressed portions to be pressed by the left and right pressing portions 190d of the bottom plate 190 of the rear seat 19 are formed. That is, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, edge portions 43 a and 44 a are formed along the upper edges of the left and right wall portions 43 and 44 of the cover 40, and the width in the vicinity of the center in the front-rear direction is particularly widened. As shown in FIG. 5, the widened portions 43 b and 44 b are pressed by the left and right pressing portions 190 g of the rear seat 19.

  That is, in this embodiment, the tray-like cover 40 formed of a flexible resin material is pivotally supported on the connecting plate member 30 on the vehicle body side at the two left and right end portions of the front wall portion 42, and the left and right The widened portions 43b and 44b at the upper edges of the wall portions 43 and 44 and the extended portion 45b at the upper edge of the rear wall portion 45 are pressed downward by the bottom plate 190 of the rear seat 19. In this way, by pressing the cover 40 downward at three convenient locations that are separated from each other, it is possible to stably press down the article below the cover 40 as a whole.

  As an example, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 9, a tool case 50 containing a vehicle-mounted tool and U-shaped locks 51 and 52 for theft prevention are housed in the space below the cover 40. That is, as shown in FIGS. 2, 4, 5 and the like, a substantially rectangular storage frame 25a is integrally formed in the vicinity of the rear end portion of the rear fender 25 so as to extend from the upper surface of the rear fender 25. , A tool case 50 and a U-lock joint fitting 51 are housed side by side.

  A plurality of seats 25b on which the U-locked metal U-shaped bar 52 is placed are formed on the upper surface of the rear fender 25 on both the left and right sides and the rear side of the storage frame 25a. . The metal U-shaped bar 52 placed over the plurality of seats 25b surrounds the tool case 50 and the joint fitting 51 from the left and right sides to the rear as indicated by broken lines in FIG. In the state of being stored in the storage space S, the tool case 50 and the upper part of the joint fitting 51 are substantially at the same height as shown in FIG. 5, while the height of the metal U-shaped bar 52 surrounding them is one step higher. Is low.

  Corresponding to this, the bottom wall 41 of the cover 40 has a groove 41a that is U-shaped when viewed from above, from the inside of the left and right wall parts 43, 44 to the inside of the rear wall 45. The raised floor 41b is formed so as to be higher from the center of the bottom wall 41 in the left-right direction to the front edge. As shown in FIG. 5, with the cover 40 closed, the lower surface of the raised floor portion 41b presses the upper portion of at least one of the tool case 50 and the joint fitting 51, and the lower surface of the U-shaped groove portion 41a around it. Holds the upper part of the metal U-shaped bar 52 from above.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the articles stored below the cover 40 in the storage space S are the tool case 50 and the U-shaped locks 51 and 52, and the sizes and shapes thereof are predetermined, so that the uneven shape corresponding to them is Is formed on the bottom wall portion 41 of the cover 40. By doing so, those articles can be pressed more stably, and the utilization efficiency of the storage space S is also increased.

-Functional effects of the first embodiment-
As described above, in the motorcycle 1 of this embodiment, the resin cover 40 is provided so as to divide the storage space S below the rear seat 19 into upper and lower parts, and the tool case 50 and the U-shape stored below the cover 40 are provided. By pressing the locks 51 and 52 from above, the jumping can be suppressed. When storing the tool case 50, etc., it is only necessary to open the cover 40, store the tool case 50, etc. below the cover 40, close the cover 40 again, and put a rubber band on the tool case 50, etc. in the storage space S. There is no need for troublesome work.

  Moreover, the resin cover 40 having appropriate flexibility is pressed downward from the upper rear seat 19 at the pressed portions 43b, 44b, 45b of the left and right side wall portions 43, 44 and the rear wall portion 45. Since the tool case 50 and the like can be stably pressed by the cover 40 in a wide range over the entire storage space S, there is no fear that they will jump. On the other hand, a thin article such as a waste cloth can be stored in the upper portion of the cover 40 as an example.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, since the cover 40 is not made removable from the storage space S, there is no fear of losing the cover 40 by mistake. Since the storage space S below the rear seat 19 is inclined so as to be lower toward the front along the shape of the rear fender 25, if the space below the cover 40 is opened rearward as described above, Storage and removal of articles can be performed more easily.

Can be deleted. For example, in each of the first and second embodiments, the storage space S is provided below the rear seat 19. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the storage space S may be provided below the seat 18 on which the driver rides.

  However, compared with the seat 18 and the rear seat 19 provided side by side in the front-rear direction in the motorcycle 1, the rear seat 19 is more likely to vibrate up and down, and the article is better when the storage space S is provided below it. Easy to jump up and down. Therefore, the effect of suppressing the jumping of the stored article is particularly effective in the storage space under the rear seat.

  In each of the embodiments described above, the cover 40 is swung up and down around the support shaft (pin 47) at its front edge, but the position of the support shaft is not the front edge of the cover 40 but the front edge. May be slightly rearward, or may be configured to swing around the support shaft of the rear portion, not limited to the front portion of the cover, and the support shaft in the front-rear direction provided at the left or right portion. It is good also as a structure rock | fluctuated around. Further, the cover may be removable.

  In each of the above embodiments, the bottom wall 41 of the cover 40 is provided with an uneven shape corresponding to the tool case 50 and the U-shaped locks 51, 52. It may be a flat shape. The cover 40 does not need to be molded using a flexible resin material such as polypropylene, and may be formed of a relatively hard resin material such as ABS resin, or may be formed of a thin iron plate or the like. In this case, you may arrange | position a cushioning material in at least one of the upper surface and lower surface of the bottom wall part of a cover as needed.

  Furthermore, in each said embodiment, the cover 40 is made into a tray shape, and the to-be-pressed part (widening part 43b, 44b and the extension part 45b) is formed in the upper edge of the wall parts 43 and 44 and the rear wall part 45 of the both right and left sides, respectively. These are pressed by the upper rear seat 19, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the pressed portion is not the upper edge of the wall portions 43 to 45, for example, upward from the bottom wall portion 41. What is necessary is just to protrude and to contact the rear seat 19 and to be pressed downward.

  In the second embodiment, the holder 60 is attached to the upper portion of the cover 40 to hold the ETC vehicle-mounted device 53. However, the vehicle-mounted electrical equipment other than the ETC vehicle-mounted device 53 may be held. Instead of attaching the separate holder 60, the holding portion may be integrally formed on the upper surface of the cover 40.

  In the second embodiment, if the rear edge (pin 62) of the holder 60 is attached to the cover 40 so as to be swingable in the vertical direction, and the front surface of the ETC vehicle-mounted device 53 is lifted upward, the ETC card can be used. However, the position of the pin 62 may not be the rear edge of the cover 40 but may be slightly forward of the rear edge, and is not limited to the rear part of the cover. That is, in the ETC on-board device, the side where the card insertion slot is opened is one side in either the front-rear direction or the left-right direction, and the other side opposite to the cover 40 is attached so as to be swingable in the vertical direction. Good.

  Furthermore, although the motorcycle 1 has been described in the above embodiment, the vehicle to which the under-seat storage structure of the present invention is applied is not limited to a motorcycle, and may be any of a three-wheeled vehicle and a four-wheeled vehicle. It can also be applied to other saddle riding type vehicles such as rough terrain vehicles.

  As described above, according to the present invention, in a storage space provided under a seat of a saddle-ride type vehicle, an article can be pressed without much effort and the jumping can be suppressed, and the convenience is high. It is effective to apply to.
