A heat shield plate M1 is provided on the right side surface of the muffler M. As shown in FIG.

Next, the storage box 50 according to the present invention will be explained.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the storage box 50 is fixed to the rear carrier 30 of the vehicle 1, for example. The storage box 50 is fixed to the rear carrier 30 via a fixing member U, for example. The storage box 50 is attached to either the left or right side of the vehicle 1 or both sides. A state in which the storage box 50 is fixed to the left side of the vehicle 1 is exemplified below. When the storage box 50 is fixed on the right side of the vehicle 1, it is installed symmetrically with the left side.

The upper portion of the fixing member U is fixed to the lower surface side of the rear carrier 30, for example. The fixing member U is fixed so as to hang down from the lower surface side of the rear carrier 30 . The fixing member U is fixed, for example, in a U-shaped direction when the vehicle 1 is viewed from the side. The fixing member U is attached, for example, to either the left or right side or both sides of the lower surface of the rear carrier 30 . The fixing member U is formed in a U shape using, for example, a steel pipe with a circular cross section. The fixing member U may be formed using another material.

The fixing member U is formed with a pair of straight portions U1 and a connecting portion U2 that connects the base ends of the pair of straight portions. The connecting portion U2 is formed so as to curve downward. The fixed member U is provided with a connecting plate U3 that connects the upper portions of the pair of straight portions U1. The connecting plate U3 is formed in a plate shape. The connecting plate U3 is made of, for example, a metal plate and welded to the upper portions of the pair of straight portions U1. The connecting plate U3 is provided on the side of the fixing member U opposite to the mounting side of the storage box 50 . A pair of through holes U3H for fixing fasteners Q, which will be described later, are formed in the connecting plate U3. A nut U3N for fastening a screw for fixing the buckle is welded to the through hole U3H.

A pair of brackets U4 projecting toward the mounting side of the storage box 50 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the straight portions U1 are provided at the ends of the pair of straight portions U1. The pair of brackets U4 are formed in symmetrical shapes when viewed along the left-right direction. A pair of brackets U4 are fixed to the connecting plate U3. As a result, the number of man-hours required for attaching the pair of brackets U4 to the rear carrier 30 can be reduced, and positioning relative to the rear carrier 30 can be facilitated. Bracket U4 is formed of a metal plate. The bracket U4 is formed, for example, in an inverted L shape when viewed along the front-rear direction. The bracket U4 includes a plate-shaped horizontal portion U5 along the horizontal direction and a vertical portion U6 that is bent downward from the horizontal portion U5 as viewed in the left-right direction.

The horizontal portion U5 is formed in a rectangular plate shape. A base end of the horizontal portion U5 is fixed to the connecting plate U3 by welding or the like. A through hole U4H is formed at the tip of the horizontal portion U5. A bolt is inserted from below into the through hole U4H and fixed to the lower surface side of the rear carrier 30 . A bracket Z for gap adjustment may be provided between the horizontal portion U5 and the rear carrier 30 .

The vertical portion U6 is formed in an inverted L-shaped plate. A side of the vertical portion U6 that is continuous with the base end of the horizontal portion U5 is fixed to the connecting plate U3 by welding or the like. The vertical portion U6 supports the storage box 50 against the moment applied to the base end of the horizontal portion U5 when the storage box 50 is fixed.

At least one of the pair of brackets U4 is provided with a holding portion R capable of holding a handle portion QM provided on a fastener Q described later. The holding portion R is, for example, fixed to the front end portion of the vertical portion U6 in the vehicle width direction. When the holding portion R is fixed to the bracket U4 in advance, the number of assembling man-hours when attaching the storage box 50 can be reduced. When the bracket U4 is attached to the rear carrier 30 provided in the vehicle 1, the holding portion R is arranged to protrude outward relative to the end portion of the rear carrier 30 in the vehicle width direction. The holding portion R is arranged within the width along the front-rear direction of a handle portion QM, which will be described later.

The holding portion R is formed, for example, by bending a metallic linear member. A linear member is, for example, a rod-shaped body having a circular cross section. The holding portion R includes, for example, a first member R1 fixed to the vertical portion U6. The first member R1 is formed linearly, for example. The first member R1 is, for example, fixed to the vertical portion U6 using a fixing method such as welding. As a fixing method, other methods such as brazing, adhesion, and screwing may be used in addition to welding as long as the strength can be secured. The first member R1 is arranged, for example, inside relative to the end of the rear carrier 30 in the vehicle width direction. This prevents the end surface of the first member R1 on the one end side from coming into contact with objects other than the vehicle 1 or the human body. One end side of the first member R1 is arranged facing outward in the vehicle width direction.

One end side of a second member R2 curved upward is continuously formed on the other end side of the first member R1. The second member R2 is curved in a U shape. One end side of the third member R3 is continuously formed on the other end side of the second member R2. The third member R3 is arranged parallel to and above the first member R1 by, for example, curving the second member R2. The other end side of the third member R3 is arranged outside relative to the end portion of the rear carrier 30 in the vehicle width direction. A portion of the third member R3 protrudes outward relative to the end of the rear carrier 30 in the vehicle width direction. One end side of the upwardly curved fourth member R4 is continuously formed with the other end side of the third member R3.

The fourth member R4 is curved in an L shape. One end side of the fifth member R5 is continuously formed with the other end side of the fourth member R4. The fifth member R5 is formed linearly, for example. The fifth member R5 is arranged to stand vertically upward due to the curved fourth member R4. One end side of a sixth member R6 curved inward in the vehicle width direction is continuously formed with the other end side of the fifth member R5. The sixth member R6 is curved in a U shape. One end side of the seventh member R7 is continuously formed with the other end side of the sixth member R6. The seventh member R7 is formed linearly. The seventh member R7 is arranged parallel to the first member R1 on the inner side in the vehicle width direction, for example, because the sixth member R6 is curved.

With the above configuration, the holding portion R is formed in a hook shape. The holding portion R has a hook portion formed by a third member R3, a fourth member R4, a fifth member R5, a sixth member R6, and a seventh member R7. By bending the seventh member R7 inward in the vehicle width direction, the end face of the seventh member R7 on the other end side is prevented from coming into contact with objects other than the vehicle 1 or the human body. In addition, it is possible to make it easier to hook a handle part QM, which will be described later, on the hook part. Further, with the above configuration, when an object other than the vehicle 1 or a human body contacts the hook portion and a load is applied thereto, the second member R2 and the third member R3 are elastically deformed so that the other object or human body can reduce the impact on

A pair of brackets U7 for fixing the storage box 50 are provided in the middle of the pair of straight portions U1 on the vehicle 1 side of the fixing member U, respectively. The bracket U7 is formed extending in a direction along the axial direction of the straight portion U1. The bracket U7 is formed in a shape that fits into a grip portion 51B of the accommodation box 50 described later. The bracket U7 has a flat plate portion U7A and bent portions U7B that are bent from the flat plate portion U7A and welded to the straight portion U1 above and below the flat plate portion U7A.

In the pair of brackets U7, the pair of flat plate portions are fixed at an angle such that the distance increases toward the vehicle body side when viewed in the vertical direction. A pair of bolt holes U7H are formed in the bracket U7 along the vertical direction. A nut U7N to which a bolt for fixing the storage box 50 is fastened is welded to the bolt hole U7H.

As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the storage box 50 includes a storage portion 51 for storing articles, a lid portion 52 that can be opened and closed with respect to the storage portion 51, and a fastener Q that closes the lid portion 52. and a helmet holder H. In the following, regarding the storage box 50, a state in which the seam between the lid portion 52 and the storage portion is substantially along the vertical direction will be described. The housing portion 51 is attached to the fixing member U side, for example. The housing portion 51 is a housing in which a housing space for housing articles is formed.

The lid portion 52 is attached to the housing portion 51 so as to be openable and closable. The lid portion 52 and the housing portion 51 are connected via a rotating shaft J such as a hinge. The rotation axis J may be a resin hinge. The lid portion 52 is made of resin, for example. The lid portion 52 is formed in a box shape having, for example, a rectangular plate-shaped top portion 52A and side walls 52S formed to extend around the top portion 52A. The lid portion 52 is attached to the housing portion 51 so as to cover the opening of the housing portion 51 in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle 1 so as to be openable and closable. The lid portion 52 has, for example, a rotating shaft at the lower portion of the housing portion 51 . The lid portion 52 is opened downward so that the opening appears upward with respect to the housing portion 51 . An end portion of the side wall 52S is provided with an edge portion 52B formed so as to extend so as to cover the periphery of the joint portion with the accommodating portion 51. As shown in FIG. As a result, water is prevented from entering the mating portion with the accommodation portion 51 .

The lid portion 52 is formed with a recess portion 52C capable of accommodating the fastener Q and the helmet holder H in the closed state. As a result, the appearance of the storage box 50 in which the fastener Q and the helmet holder H are integrated can be realized. Further, with the above configuration, the fastener Q and the helmet holder H are provided within the width of the lid portion 52 and the housing portion 51 when the lid portion 52 is in the closed state as viewed in the opening/closing axis direction of the lid portion 52 .

As a result, when the vehicle 1 is parked, the helmet holder H and the fastener Q are prevented from coming into contact with adjacent objects. The lid portion 52 is formed with an inclined surface 52K in which the side wall 52S is inclined toward the edge portion 52B. As a result, the sidewall 52S, which is the upper surface when the lid portion 52 is attached, forms an inclined surface that is inclined downward toward the outside in the vehicle width direction. As a result, the water falling on the upper surface of the lid portion 52 can easily flow downward.

As described above, since the inclined surfaces 52K are formed on all of the side walls 52S, the lid portion 52 is on the upper surface even when the housing box 50 is fixed such that the opening/closing axis is opened left and right and the storage box 50 is fixed so as to open upward. It is formed so that water is less likely to accumulate on the surface. Further, with the above configuration, the lid portion 52 is formed so that even when the storage box 50 is fixed as a top box, the sloped surfaces of the side walls 52S prevent water from accumulating.

The fastener Q is a part that is fixed to the vehicle 1 side and that can fix the lid in a closed state. The fastener Q is formed of a plate-like body such as a metal plate. The fastener Q includes, for example, a first member Q1 formed by bending to match the shape of the upper surface of the housing portion 51, and a second member Q2 formed by bending to match the shape of the upper surface of the lid portion 52. Prepare.

The first member Q1 includes a first plate-like portion Q1A formed in a rectangular plate shape along a substantially horizontal direction, and a rectangular plate-like portion extending downward from the base end of the first plate-like portion Q1A on the vehicle 1 side. and a second plate-shaped portion Q1B formed in the . A pair of through holes Q1H are formed in the second plate-like portion Q1B along the front-rear direction so as to correspond to the positions of the nuts U3N of the connecting plate U3 of the fixing member U. As shown in FIG. Screws are inserted into the pair of through holes Q1H and screwed into nuts U3N (see FIG. 3) to fix the fastener Q to the vehicle 1 side. A hinge portion QH is provided at the tip of the first plate-shaped portion Q1A. The hinge portion QH rotatably supports the second member Q2.

The hinge portion QH includes a first rotation axis QH1 provided on the first member Q1 and a second rotation axis QH2 provided parallel to the first rotation axis QH1. The second rotating shaft QH2 rotatably supports the second member Q2. The first rotating shaft QH1 is fixed on the side of the first member Q1, that is, on the side of the housing portion 51 (the side of the vehicle 1). The first rotation axis QH1 is provided along the direction of the rotation axis J of the lid portion 52, for example. When the fastener Q is closed, the second rotating shaft QH2 is arranged inward in the vehicle width direction with respect to the first rotating shaft QH1 (in the direction perpendicular to the first rotating shaft QH1, toward the second plate-like portion Q1B). ) are offset by an offset amount of a predetermined width. The second rotation axis QH2 is rotatably provided within the width of the offset amount around the first rotation axis QH1.

With the above configuration, the hinge portion QH performs a first rotational movement about the first rotational axis QH1 of the second rotational axis QH2 and a second rotational movement of the second member Q2 about the second rotational axis QH2. By cooperating, a trajectory is generated that allows the lid portion 52 to be locked in the closed state, and a trajectory is generated that allows the handle portion QM to be hooked to the holding portion R in the open state.

The second member Q2 includes a curved portion Q2A that is rotatably supported by the hinge portion QH and is bent upward in a mountain shape from the proximal end side, and a plate-like portion Q2B that is horizontally bent at the distal end portion. The curved portion Q2A is provided with a handle portion QM for opening and closing the second member Q2. The handle portion QM is arranged within the width of the storage box 50 when viewed along the opening/closing axis direction.

The handle QM is, for example, fixed to the curved portion Q2A using a fixing method such as welding. The handle portion QM is fixed to the fastener Q in an upright state when the fastener Q is closed, and is fixed so as to be inclined toward the holding portion R as it goes upward. Thereby, when the fastener Q is in the open state, the distance from the holding portion R can be shortened, and the handle portion QM can be easily hooked on the holding portion R.

A hook QF for hooking a receiving portion G provided on the lid portion 52 side is formed at the tip portion of the plate-like portion Q2B. The hook QF is bent downward to return to the plate-like portion Q2B. A helmet holder H is attached to the upper portion of the plate-like portion Q2B.

The helmet holder H is composed of a support portion H1 fixed to the plate-like portion Q2B and a slide portion H2 slidably supported by the support portion H1. The support portion H1 has a through hole HH through which the slide portion H2 is inserted, and a notch portion HK through which a part of the slide portion H2 is exposed when the slide portion H2 is fitted to the receiving portion G. A cylinder key HS is provided on the upper portion of the support portion H1 for operating a key K to restrict and release the sliding movement of the slide portion H2. The cylinder key HS may be provided in positions and orientations other than those illustrated.

The slide portion H2 is formed in a bar shape with a circular cross section. The slide portion H2 includes a slide pin H2Q that is inserted through an annular part provided on the chin strap of the helmet, and an operation portion H2S that is housed in the support portion H1 in the closed state and protrudes from the support portion H1 in the unlocked state. It is The operating portion H2S and the slide pin H2Q are integrally formed. The diameter of the operating portion H2S is formed larger than the diameter of the slide pin H2Q. The diameter of the operating portion H2S may be the same as the diameter of the slide pin. Note that the slide portion H2 may be formed in a plate shape instead of a rod shape such as the operation portion H2S and the slide pin H2Q. The slide portion H2 may be formed in any shape as long as it can be inserted through the annular component of the helmet.

The slide portion H2 slides when the lid portion 52 is securely closed with respect to the housing portion 51, and passes through the notch portion HK to slide from the side surface of the support portion H1 on which the notch portion HK is formed. protrude. In this state, the slide portion H2 is fitted into a receiving portion G provided on the lid portion side as described later. At this time, the slide portion H2 is automatically locked by the cylinder key HS. When the slide portion H2 is opened by key operation, the operation portion H2S protrudes, and the slide pin H2Q passes through the notch portion HK and is accommodated in the support portion H1. In this state, the receiving portion G is fixed to the recessed portion 52C.

The receiving portion G is attached to the lid portion 52 so as to correspond to the position of the fastener Q. As shown in FIG. The receiving portion G includes, for example, a base portion G1 fixed to the bottom portion formed in the recess portion 52C, and an upright piece G2 provided on one end side of the base portion G1. The receiving portion G is formed by bending a metal plate, for example. A pair of through holes GH are formed on both end sides of the base G1. Through holes (not shown) are also formed in the bottom portion of the recessed portion 52C corresponding to the positions of the pair of through holes GH. A bolt is inserted through the pair of through holes GH, and the receiving portion G is fixed to the lid portion 52 by the bolt and the nut (see FIG. 8).

The base G1 has a step upward from the position where the through hole GH is formed. A hook receiving portion GF on which the hook QF of the fastener Q is hooked is formed on one side of the base portion G1 on the opening side of the recessed portion 52C. The hook receiving portion GF is formed by bending a rectangular end portion formed of a metal plate downward so as to fit into a gap caused by a step. An upright piece G2 is formed by bending upward from one end of the base portion G1. A hole G2H into which the slide portion is fitted is formed in the upright piece G2. Note that the standing piece G2 may not necessarily be provided. The receiving portion G has a hole, a depression, a notch, or the like formed in the wall surface of the depression portion 52C so that the sliding portion H2 in the closed state on the side of the lid portion 52 can be fitted instead of the standing piece G2. It can be anything that exists.

A tip portion of the standing piece G2 is formed so as to protrude upward from the recessed portion 52C. The standing piece G2 is formed so as to be positioned at the outermost part in the trajectory of the opening and closing of the lid portion 52 (see FIGS. 7 and 10). The tip of the upright piece G2 is formed in a circular shape centered on the hole G2H when viewed in the front-rear direction. This prevents other objects from being damaged even if they come into contact with other objects when the lid portion 52 is opened or closed. An elastic member G2G extending along the end face may be attached to the outermost position of the tip of the upright piece G2. The elastic member G2G is made of rubber, resin, or the like. That is, the outermost portion of the upright piece G2 is an elastic member, which prevents other objects from being damaged in the trajectory of the opening and closing of the lid.

Next, functions of the fastener Q and the holding portion R in the storage box 50 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 9, the fastener Q locks the lid 52 closed in the closed state. When releasing the fastener Q from the closed state, the lock between the helmet holder H and the receiving portion G is released by operating the key K. After that, the second rotating shaft QH2 of the second member Q2 is lifted, and the second rotating shaft is rotated around the first rotating shaft QH1. At this time, the hook QF rotates the second member Q2 with the hook receiving portion GF as a fulcrum, and the second rotating shaft QH2 is lifted upward.

As shown in FIG. 10, when the second rotation axis QH2 rotates about the first rotation axis QH1, the hook QF is disengaged from the hook receiving portion GF, and the second member Q2 rotates about the second rotation axis QH2. The fastener Q is opened. The holding portion R is arranged on the vehicle 1 side in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle 1 with respect to the attachment position of the handle portion QM. The holding portion R is provided within a movable range of the fastener Q in the open state. The holding portion R is arranged at a position capable of fixing the handle portion QM within the movable range.

When hooking the handle portion QM on the holding portion R, the second member Q2 is rotated around the second rotation axis QH2. Since the handle part QM is tilted toward the holding part R side and fixed, the rotation around the second rotation axis QH2 until reaching the holding part R is reduced. When the second member Q2 is rotated around the second rotation axis QH2 and the handle QM reaches the holder R, the handle QM is not caught on the holder R. Therefore, while the handle portion QM reaches the holding portion R, the handle portion QM is moved upward by rotating around the first rotary shaft QH1 so that the second rotary shaft QH2 moves upward.

As shown in FIG. 11, the handle portion QM can be hooked on the holding portion R based on the above operation. That is, the hinge portion QH can generate a track that allows the handle portion QM to be hooked to the holding portion R when the fastener Q is in the open state. As a result, the holding portion R can hold the handle portion QM provided on the fastener Q when the fastener Q is opened. In a state in which the handle portion QM is held by the holding portion R, the center of gravity of the fastener Q is located outside the holding portion R in the vehicle width direction.

In this state, a rotational couple is generated in the fastener Q about the point of contact between the holding portion R and the handle portion QM. This rotational couple is canceled by a rotational couple in the opposite direction generated based on the supporting force of the holding portion R acting on the contact point between the holding portion R and the handle portion QM centering on the second rotation axis QH2. Therefore, the fastener Q is stably fixed to the holding portion R by cooperation with the contact point between the holding portion R and the handle portion QM and the second rotating shaft QH2. That is, the holding portion R is fixed at a position where it stably receives the load of the fastener Q while holding the handle portion QM.

The holding portion R is provided within a movable range in the open state of the fastener Q attached to the vehicle 1, which allows the lid portion 52 of the storage box 50 attached to the vehicle 1 to be fixed in the closed state. It may be provided as a vehicle component capable of holding the handle portion QM provided on the fastener Q. The vehicle 1 may be provided in a state in which the housing box 50 and the fastener Q, which is a vehicle component, are provided on the vehicle body side.

As described above, according to the housing box 50, when the fastener Q is in the open state, the lid 52 can be held without being obstructed by the fastener Q by having the holding portion R that can be held by hooking the handle QM. can be opened and closed smoothly. According to the storage box 50, since it is provided within the movable range of the handle portion QM, the handle portion QM and the holding portion R can be easily attached and detached during the movement of the opening and closing operation of the fastener Q. . According to the storage box 50, by holding the handle portion QM of the fastener Q by the holding portion R, convenience in opening and closing the lid portion 52 can be improved. According to the housing box 50, since the holding portion R is fixed to the bracket U4, the man-hours for mounting the housing box 50 can be reduced.

[Modification]
Modified examples of the storage box 50 will be described below. In the following description, the same names and reference numerals are used for the same configurations as those of the above-described embodiment, and overlapping descriptions are omitted as appropriate.

As shown in FIG. 12, the holding portion T according to the modification may be formed integrally with the bracket U4. The holding portion T is, for example, integrally formed at the tip of the bracket U4. The holding portion T may be formed in a hook shape, for example, protruding outward in the vehicle width direction from the distal end portion of the vertical portion U6. The holding portion T may be formed in a hook shape so as to protrude outward in the vehicle width direction from the distal end portion of the horizontal portion U5.

As shown in FIG. 13, the holding portion X may be provided separately from the bracket U4. For example, the holding portion X may be sandwiched between the horizontal portion U5 and the rear carrier 30 and fixed with screws. The holding portion X is formed in a hook shape so as to protrude outward in the vehicle width direction from the tip portion of the bracket U4. Alternatively, the holding portion may be fixed to the rear carrier 30 . For example, the holding portion may be connected to the rear carrier 30 by a string-like member and provided with a hook-like member at the tip of the string-like member. Further, the holding portion may not only be formed in a hook shape, but may hold the handle portion QM by magnetic attraction. In this case, the holding portion may be configured such that the handle portion QM is magnetized so that the handle portion QM is magnetically attracted to the rear carrier 30 . Also, the holding portion and the handle portion QM may be held using a detachable member such as a hook-and-loop fastener.

In addition, it is possible to appropriately replace the constituent elements in the above-described embodiment with well-known constituent elements without departing from the scope of the present invention, and the above-described modified examples may be combined as appropriate. For example, although the storage box 50 is attached to the left side of the vehicle 1 in the vehicle width direction, the storage box 50 may be attached to the right side or both sides of the vehicle 1 without being limited to this. Also, the storage box 50 may be attached to the upper portion of the rear carrier 30 . The storage box 50 may be attached not only to the rear portion of the vehicle 1 but also to any position and attitude of the vehicle 1 as long as it can be attached without problems. Further, the vehicle 1 may be not only a motorcycle but also other self-propelled vehicles or non-self-propelled vehicles.
