JP, 2012-51507, A

In recent years, along with the high-speed travel of multipurpose vehicles, it has become necessary to provide a cover on the lateral outside of the seat in addition to the lops frame and the handrail frame.
An object of the present invention is to provide a support structure for a cover body with high productivity, when the cover body is provided on the lateral outside of a seat in a multipurpose vehicle.

The multipurpose vehicle of the present invention is
Front and rear wheels,
A seat provided between the front wheel and the rear wheel;
A loading platform provided at the rear of the seat,
A right and left front support post and a right and left rear support post, and a lops frame provided to surround the seat;
A handrail frame provided on the lateral outside of the seat;
And a cover body attached to the handrail frame and extending upward.

According to the present invention, the cover body is attached to the handrail frame and extends upward, and the cover body is disposed laterally outside the seat.
In this case, since the handrail frame is a relatively small structure, even if the cover body is attached to the handrail frame, the handrail frame and the cover body are also relatively small structures. Even if the cover is attached to the handrail frame in advance, the handrail frame and the cover can be handled relatively easily as one structure.

  Thereby, according to the present invention, for example, in the case of a production process in which the structure of the handrail frame and the cover body is attached to the vehicle body while the cover body is attached to the handrail frame in advance, the attachment operation is facilitated. And improve production efficiency.

In the present invention,
The handrail frame has a vertically oriented portion along the vertical direction, and a horizontally oriented portion along the longitudinal direction,
It is preferable that the cover body is attached to the lateral portion and extended upward.

Many handrail frames have a vertically oriented portion along the vertical direction and a horizontally oriented portion along the longitudinal direction.
According to the present invention, it is possible to effectively extend the cover body upward from the handrail frame (sideward portion) by effectively using the sideways portion of the handrail frame.

In the present invention,
The cover body has a frame portion connected to the handrail frame and extended upward, and a cover portion provided with a first surface portion and a second surface portion facing in the left-right direction with a predetermined interval in the left-right direction. Yes,
Preferably, the frame portion is inserted between the first surface portion and the second surface portion, and the cover portion is attached to the frame portion.

  According to the present invention, for example, when a cover is provided on the right and left lateral sides of the seat, in the right cover, the first surface of the cover faces the seat and the second surface of the cover faces the lateral outer of the seat I will turn to. In the left cover body, the second surface portion of the cover portion faces the seat side, and the first surface portion of the cover portion faces the lateral outside of the seat.

  As a configuration different from the above, when the covers are provided on the right and left lateral outer sides of the seat, if the first and second surface portions of the cover in the right and left cover bodies are exchanged in the left-right direction, the right and left In the cover body, the first surface of the cover may face the seat, and the second surface of the cover may face the lateral outside of the seat. Similarly, the first surface of the cover may face the lateral outside of the seat, and the second surface of the cover may face the seat.

Thereby, according to the present invention, when the covers are provided on the right and left lateral outer sides of the seat, the right and left covers can be made common, which is advantageous in terms of reduction in production cost. It becomes.
According to the present invention, the frame portion is inserted between the first surface portion and the second surface portion of the cover portion to become a cover body, and thereby the frame portion is covered by the cover portion. It looks good in terms of

In the present invention,
The handrail frame is provided in the vicinity of the front side of the rear post,
It is preferable that the cover body extends upward along the rear support at a front side of the rear support.

  According to the present invention, the cover body is disposed close to the rear post of the lops frame, and the cover body can easily exhibit the function of assisting the function of the lops frame.
