  However, in the above prior art, since the rotating wheel is only attached to the connecting rod-shaped rod, it can move only in the front-rear direction, so the direction of the motorcycle cannot be changed during maintenance. However, there is a problem that must be solved, for example, there is a high risk that a motorcycle with an unstable posture will collapse even if the rotating vehicle is slid laterally.

  The present invention is based on the above-described prior art, and in view of the problem that it can move only in the front-rear direction, casters are provided at the lower portions of the front and rear ends of the pair of side frames arranged in parallel with each other at the inner side surfaces of the pair of side frames. A support rod is pivotally attached to a portion between the casters, the support rod is integrated with both ends of the base end side of the U-shaped lever rod, and an engagement means to the chassis side is provided at the tip of the support rod. According to such a motorcycle maintenance stand, the motorcycle can be moved in all directions, and the motorcycle can be easily changed in an arbitrary direction to solve the above-mentioned problem.

In short, the present invention provides a caster at the lower part of the front and rear ends of a pair of side frames arranged side by side at intervals, and a support rod is pivotally attached to a portion between the casters on the inner surface of the pair of side frames. Since it is integrated with both ends of the base end side of the U-shaped lever rod, and the engagement means to the chassis side is provided at the tip of the support rod, the four casters and the lever rod are grounded in use. Therefore, it is possible to improve stability, and at the same time, because the caster is used, it can move in all directions, so even if it is in the middle of maintenance, the motorcycle can be easily changed to any direction. I can do it.
Moreover, in the thing of patent document 1, since the connecting rod-shaped rod which is a center axis has penetrated the L-shaped rod, it may become an obstacle of the rear wheel which enters between L-shaped rods at the time of work, In the present invention, each of the pair of support rods can be attached to the pair of side frames by separate shafts, so there is no structure that obstructs the rear wheel between the pair of support rods and in the lever rod. Can work smoothly.

Since the pair of side frames have a shaft support at the lower part of the intermediate portion, and the support rod is attached to the lower end side of the shaft support, the position of the support rod is fixed on the grounding surface of the rear wheel. Since it can be set near, the tilt of the lever 使用 in use can be kept very small, in other words, the lever 杆 can be made substantially parallel to the grounding surface, so when lowering the lifted rear wheel, It is possible to reduce the burden of lifting the lying lever 杆.
In addition, if the lever に お け る in use is grounded, it will rub against the ground surface when moving and damage or noise will occur, but since an auxiliary caster is provided on the back side of the lever 、, Since the auxiliary caster is grounded and the lever rod itself is in a separated state, it does not slide on the ground surface and no abnormal noise is generated, and since it is grounded at a point away from the casters of the pair of side frames, Its practical effect is significant, such as being able to move in all directions with a more stable posture.
