4 and 11, the single seat cowl stay 202, the support boss 203, the single seat cowl 65, and the article mounting stay 204 are assembled together so that they can be attached to and detached from the seat frame portions 18 and 18 with one touch. An article support unit 250 capable of supporting 70 is formed.
The article support unit 250 fixes the single seat cowl 65 to the single seat cowl stay 202 with the cowl fixing bolts 217 and 221, and supports the support boss 203 which is erected on the single seat cowl stay 202 and extends upward through the single seat cowl 65. The article mounting stay 204 is supported, and the stay fixing bolt 243 is inserted into the stay fixing hole 242 and the support boss 203 from above and fastened to the boss fixing portion 215 of the single seat cowl stay 202.

In the state of the article support unit 250, the single seat cowl stay 202 is housed inside the single seat cowl 65, and the article attachment stay 204 is raised upward from the single seat cowl 65 by being raised by the support boss 203. Extends back and forth. The article attachment stay 204 extends back and forth in parallel with the single seat cowl stay 202.
The article attachment stay 204 is continuously arranged at the rear part of the pad 230, and the rear part of the pad 230 enters the inside of the front edge part 240a recessed backward.
The article attachment stay 204 extends from the rear of the rear portion of the pad 230 to the rear portion of the single seat cowl 65, and the rear end thereof is positioned in front of the rear end of the single seat cowl 65. Further, at least the front part of the article attachment stay 204 is located inside the left and right side edges of the single seat cowl 65. That is, the article attachment stay 204 is located inside the outer shape of the single seat cowl 65 in a plan view.

The article support unit 250 can be easily attached simply by covering the rear portions of the seat frame portions 18 and 18 with the article support unit 250. Specifically, the insertion portions 213a and 213a of the single seat cowl stay 202 are inserted into the insertion fitting portions 40b and 40b on the seat frame portions 18 and 18 side from the rear, and the article support unit 250 with the insertion fitting portions 40b and 40b as the center. By lowering the rear portion, the engagement portion 214 of the single seat cowl stay 202 is engaged with the lock member 205 and locked. Accordingly, the article support unit 250 can be attached to the seat frame portions 18 and 18 with one touch.

By attaching the parts to the insertion fitting parts 40 b and 40 b and the lock member 205, respectively, it can be easily attached and detached in the same manner as the article support unit 250. That is, the insertion fitting portions 40 b and 40 b and the lock member 205 are also members for attaching the rear seat 260.
As described above, since the article support unit 250 is configured to be detachable using the insertion fitting portions 40b and 40b for the rear seat 260 and the lock member 205, many dedicated parts for attaching the article support unit 250 are used. Even if not, the article support unit 250 can be attached, and the productivity is good.
The single seat cowl 65 is a cowl that covers the opening K when only the seat 14 is used as a single (one) without using the rear seat 260.

The grab rails 261 and 261 are fixed to the rear end stays 41 and 41 with bolts instead of the rear seat stays 206 and 206 (FIG. 7). The side openings 64b and 64b (FIG. 7) of the rear cowl 64 are openings formed to pass the grab rails 261 and 261 from the inside to the outside of the rear cowl 64.
In the present embodiment, metal guard members 206e and 206e are provided integrally on the rear seat stays 206 and 206 that support the rear portion of the single seat cowl stay 202, and the side openings 64b and 64b are closed by the guard members 206e and 206e. There is no need to provide a dedicated cover for closing the side openings 64b and 64b. For this reason, when the single seat cowl stay 202 is provided in the vehicle having the side openings 64b and 64b through which the grab rails 261 and 261 pass, the side openings 64b and 64b can be closed with a simple configuration. Further, since the guard members 206e and 206e are made of metal and have high strength, the crime prevention property can be improved.
Further, since the rear seat stays 206 and 206 are integrally provided with the boss portions 206d and 206d and the guard members 206e and 206e, and the boss portions 206d and 206d are passed through the side openings 64b and 64b, the boss portions 206d and 206d have a simple configuration. Can be provided, and the side openings 64b and 64b through which the bosses 206d and 206d pass can be firmly guarded by the guard members 206e and 206e.
