Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a roof device for a motorcycle such as a scooter.

[Conventional technology]

Some motorcycles, such as scooters, have a roof covered with cloth from the top of the windscreen to the upper side of the driver to protect the driver from rain. See, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 58-168985 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-77275. Further, there is a windscreen which is provided from the upper end of the windscreen toward the upper side of the driver to protect the driver from rain by providing a roof such as a hard plastic plate. For example, the real Kaisho 60
See -11889 publication.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in a conventional roof device having a roof covered with a hood, even if it is properly stretched, the cloth is flared by the wind received by the running, and rain splashes are scattered, which must be made large. If the rain shelter effect is small, and if it is large, the wind resistance due to running becomes large, and running becomes unstable. Further, the roof made of a hard plastic plate has a disadvantage that it breaks and is damaged when it receives an impact when the motorcycle is laid down sideways and becomes unusable.

The present invention has been made in view of the above conventional problems, and provides a roof device for a motorcycle which is less likely to be damaged even when it receives an impact, reliably prevents rainwater from splashing, and has high safety. The purpose is to provide.

[Means for solving the problem]

The present invention has the following configuration to achieve the above object.

That is, the present invention provides a motorcycle in which a footrest space is formed between a steering wheel (12) for steering a front wheel (11) and a driver's seat (14) located above and in front of a rear wheel (13). Front cover (7) covering the upper part of the front wheel (11)
A windscreen (8) made of a transparent plate is arranged on the upper part of the vehicle, and the backrest part (14) at the rear of the driver seat (14) is arranged.
An air injection pipe (10) is provided at a position rearward of a) so as to project upward from the vehicle body, and the wind screen (8) is provided.
Between the upper end of the vehicle and the upper end of the air injection pipe (10), a roof (1) in which soft seats are vertically stacked is provided so as to cover above the driver seat (14), and the roof (1 ), An air tube (2) is formed on the outer peripheral portion, an air passage tube (3) is formed in a cross shape on the inner side of the outer peripheral portion, and is further outside of the outer peripheral air tube (2). The roof device for a motorcycle is characterized in that at least left and right side edges of the roof (1) are formed by bending a sheet fitting edge (1a) upward in a substantially L shape to form a gutter (5). .

[Action]

According to the invention, the roof (1) is made of a soft sheet, but the air tube (2) and the air passage tube (3) are
It can be stretched by injecting air into it to retain its shape. Therefore, the roof (1) is
Not only is it not easily damaged, but it also prevents fluttering due to wind turbulence and prevents rainwater from splashing. Further, at least on both left and right edges of the roof (1), since the sheet fitting edge (1a) is bent upward in a substantially L shape to form a gutter (5), rainwater that has fallen on the roof (1) is guttered (5). ), It is possible to prevent rainwater from splashing more reliably, and at the same time, the seating edge (1a) faces upward, so it is safe to hit.

〔Example〕

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The motorcycle according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG.
It is a scooter type in which a footrest space is formed between a steering wheel 12 for steering the front wheels 11 and a driver's seat 14 located above and in front of the rear wheels 13. A windscreen 8 made of a transparent plate is arranged on the upper part of the front cover 7 which covers the upper part of the front wheel 11, and the driver can see the front through the windscreen 8.

As shown in FIG. 5, an air injection pipe 10 is provided so as to project upward from the vehicle body at a position rearward of the backrest portion 14a provided at the rear portion of the driver's seat 14. Between the upper end of the wind screen 8 and the upper end of the air injection pipe 10, a roof 1 having soft seats vertically stacked is provided so as to cover the driver seat 14 from above. The roof 1 is formed by stacking thin sheets of soft elastomer such as urethane and polypropylene on top of each other, and molding them by blow molding. The front edge of the roof 1 uses the hook 9 on the upper edge of the windscreen 8. Are connected.

As shown in FIG. 1, an air tube 2 is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the roof 1, and an air passage tube 3 is formed in a cross-shape inside the outer peripheral portion. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, in the roof 1, a large air tube 2 is formed along the outer peripheral portion, and a small air passage pipe 3 is formed in the vertical and horizontal directions inside the air tube 2. An injection port 4 is provided below the rear end of the roof 1 as shown in FIG. 2, and the upper end of the air injection pipe 10 is connected to the injection port 4.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, at the outer side of the air tube 2 at the outer peripheral portion and on at least the left and right side edges of the roof 1, the sheet fitting edge 1a is bent upward in a substantially L shape to form a gutter 5. It is formed, and the portion outside the gutter 5 is cut by a cutting line 6.

According to the present embodiment configured as described above, the roof 1
Although it is a soft sheet, it can be made to have hardness and maintain its shape by press-fitting air into the air tube 2 and the air passage tube 3 through the inlet 4 and stretching. Therefore,
The roof 1 is less likely to be damaged even if it receives an impact, and the fluttering due to the wind is prevented to prevent rainwater from splashing. or,
At least the left and right edges of the roof 1 should have seating edges.
Since the gutter 5 is formed by bending 1a upward in a substantially L shape, rainwater that has fallen on the roof 1 can be collected in the gutter 5 and flowed to the lower front side to be treated, and raindrops can be more reliably prevented.
Further, since the sheet fitting edge 1a faces upward, it is safe to hit. Further, since the roof 1 is bridged between the upper end of the air injection pipe 10 projecting upward from the vehicle body and the upper end of the wind screen 8, the air injection pipe 10 serves as a pillar of the roof 1 and serves as a rear portion of the roof 1. Can support.

[Effect of device]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the roof (1) from being easily damaged even when it receives an impact, to reliably prevent rainwater from splashing, and to improve the safety of the roof device. You can also Furthermore, since the roof (1) is bridged between the upper end of the air injection pipe (10) protruding upward from the vehicle body and the upper end of the windscreen (8), the air injection pipe (10) is fixed to the roof (1). The rear part of the roof (1) can also be supported by also functioning as the pillars.
