Frame structure.

"Prior Art" It is known that a scooter type vehicle is provided with a storage portion for storing articles such as a helmet behind a seat. For example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 64-9085, the rear of the seat is
A storage box device for a scooter type vehicle having a configuration in which a storage box that is bulged upward and has an opening in the front is arranged, and a separate back seat standing upright at the rear end of the seat is openably and closably covered in the storage box opening. It is disclosed.

"Problems to be solved by the invention" In the above-mentioned conventional one, it is possible to secure a storage box of a size capable of storing a helmet without increasing the width of the vehicle or the seat height. The problem remains that it is difficult to secure the strength of the box. In particular, if an external force is applied to the storage box from the side, the storage box may be deformed relatively easily. In that case, the alignment accuracy of the back sheet used as the lid of the storage box is impaired. It is expected that there will be a gap between the opening and the backsheet.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a frame structure that can effectively reinforce a storage portion for storing a helmet or the like when the storage portion is provided at the rear of the seat.

[Means for Solving the Problem] The present invention provides an article storage section on a rear frame behind a seat, an opening section at the front section of the article storage section, and an opening and closing section for opening and closing the opening section with a lid member. In the frame structure for the scooter type vehicle, the substantially gate-shaped reinforcing members in side view for reinforcing the vicinity of the opening of the article storage section in the front-rear direction are positioned on both sides of the article storage section and provided on the rear frame. It is characterized by.

[Operation] In the frame structure of the present invention, the substantially gate-shaped reinforcing member provided on the rear frame reinforces the article storage section from both sides, and therefore, external force may be directly applied to the article storage section from the side. It can be effectively prevented that the article storage section is prevented from being easily deformed. Moreover, since the reinforcing member reinforces the vicinity of the opening of the article storage portion in the front-rear direction, the deformation in the vicinity of the opening, which is particularly liable to be deformed, is reliably prevented, and the alignment accuracy of the lid member with respect to the opening is not impaired.

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

First, a first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.

FIG. 1 is a side view of the motorcycle of the first embodiment, FIG. 2 is a front view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a rear view thereof. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a vehicle body frame.

Further, reference numeral 32 is a steering wheel, which is attached to a position displaced rearward from the head pipe portion 3 of the vehicle body frame 1 and steers the front wheels 60 via a link mechanism (not shown).

Then, the front screen 13 is raised diagonally upward and rearward from the leg shield portion 10 of the vehicle body cover 9,
Rear pillars 70, 70 are launched at the rear part of the vehicle body, and a rear panel 14 is attached to the rear pillars 70, 70. The above rear pillars 70, 70 are directly supported by the rear ends of the rear frame parts 50, 50 as shown in FIG. 4, so that the rear pillars 70, 70 and the rear panel 14 are naturally strong by the rear frame parts 50, 50. It has been supported. Therefore, in the motorcycle of this embodiment, no special support or reinforcement means for ensuring the support strength of the rear pillars 70, 70 and the rear panel 14 is required, and the number of parts and the weight are not increased. And the upper end of the front screen 13 and the rear panel
A roof 15 is provided between the upper end of 14 and the roof. Additional front screen 13 is approximately is a linear, substantially linear and its front cover portion 9 _a lower end edge thereof is connected to the upper edge of the front cover portion 9 _a in a side view as shown in Figure 1 Is large and has an inclination angle such that the upper end edge thereof is located almost directly above the front end portion of the sheet 18 (described later).

The roof 15 has a front end connected to the upper end of the front screen 13 via a joint 16 and a rear end connected to the rear panel 14.

As a result, in this motorcycle, a passenger compartment (cabin) 17 is formed by the front screen 13, the rear panel 14, and the roof 15, and the passengers in the passenger compartment 17 are moved forward and backward by the front screen 13, the rear panel 14, and the roof 15. And the upper part is covered so that it can block rain and wind.

The front screen 13 and the rear panel described above
It is preferable to use, for example, a polycarbonate resin that is hard-coated, as the roof 14, and for the roof 15, for example, a high-impact acrylic resin.

Seats 18 for passengers to sit in the rear of the passenger compartment 17
Is provided, and a backrest 19 is provided upright on the rear side thereof, and hip guards 20 are provided on both sides of the seat 18 while covering the side grip pipe portions 51 of the body frame 1. There is.

The front end of the backrest 19 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body frame 1 by a shaft 21, and the backrest 19 has a shaft as shown by imaginary lines in FIGS. 1 and 4.
It is supposed to be able to rotate forward around 21.
A storage box (storage unit) 23 having a size capable of storing the helmet 22 is provided below the backrest 19, and the backrest 19 also serves as a lid for opening and closing the storage box 23. ing. Further, the storage box 23 can be opened and closed from the outside of the vehicle compartment 17 by the rear trunk lid 72.

By providing the storage box 23 of the helmet 22 in the lower part of the backrest 19 as described above, the occupant can store the helmet 22 in the storage box 23 during parking, and thereby the helmet during parking. It's convenient because you don't have to carry 22 around. Also a storage box
If the backrest 19 which is the lid of 23 can be locked, it is possible to prevent the stored contents from being stolen during parking.

The storage box 23 is provided at the lower part of the backrest 19, and the backrest 19 also serves as a lid of the storage box 23, so that the helmet 22 or other articles can be put in or taken out of the storage box 23 in the vehicle compartment 17. Can be done inside the storage box for this reason
Even if the backrest 19 that is the lid of 23 is opened, the stored items will not get wet with rain, and the occupant usually leans against the backrest 19 while traveling, so the backrest There is an advantage that 19 does not have to be opened during traveling. Further, since the storage box 23 is provided behind the seat 18, the storage box
23 is naturally arranged between the rear end parts of the rear frame parts 50, 50, and therefore the storage box 23 is also strongly supported and reinforced by the rear frame parts 50, 50. Therefore, in the motorcycle of the present embodiment, it is not necessary to provide any special supporting or reinforcing means for providing such a storage box 23, and in this respect as well, the number of parts and the weight may increase. Absent.

Moreover, since the side grip pipe portions 51 provided on both sides of the storage box 23 reinforce the storage box 23 from both sides, external force is directly applied to the storage box 23 from the side by the side grip pipe portions 51. Therefore, the storage box 23 can be effectively prevented from being deformed. In particular, since the side grip pipe portion 51 reinforces the vicinity of the opening of the storage box 23 in the front-rear direction, deformation in the vicinity of the opening, which is particularly liable to be deformed, is reliably prevented, and thus the opening of the backrest 19 that also serves as a lid member for the opening. Positioning accuracy with respect to the part is not impaired.

It should be noted that it is conceivable that the storage box is provided outside the vehicle compartment and the lid is opened and closed from the outside of the vehicle compartment. In that case, when the lid of the storage box is opened and closed in rainy weather, the storage box is stored. Considering that things may get wet in the rain, and even if the lid opens for some reason while traveling, you cannot easily notice it, so you may drop the stored items. , Not preferable.

Further, in the motorcycle of the first embodiment described above, since the backrest 19 that also serves as the lid of the storage box 23 is pivoted forward to open and close the storage box 23, the opening of the storage box 23 is enlarged. It can be secured and the opening can be largely opened. That is, the rear end of the backrest 19 is rotatably supported to support the backrest 19.
The storage box 23 by rotating the rear side (upper side)
It may be conceivable that the backrest 19 is opened so that the backrest 19 does not come into contact with the rear panel 14 to open the opening largely, and therefore the opening itself has to be small. I don't get. On the other hand, as in this embodiment, the lower end of the backrest 19 is rotatably supported and is pivoted forward to open so that the backrest 19 and the rear panel 14 interfere with each other. It is not necessary to consider, and the backrest 19 can be freely and largely rotated forward, so that it is possible to secure a large opening portion of the storage box 23 and to greatly open it. as a result,
The helmet 22 can be put in and taken out very easily.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, it is preferable to provide a front trunk room 24 capable of accommodating various articles inside the forefront portion of the vehicle body cover 9. In this case,
On the front cover portion 9 _a may be provided a front trunk lid 73.

2 and 3, reference numeral 75 is a wiper of the front screen 13 provided at a position offset from the center of the vehicle body, 76 is a rearview mirror, and 77 is an opening for taking air into the vehicle compartment 17. , 78 is the main stand, 79
Is a tail light, and the reference numeral 80 in FIGS. 3 and 6 is a rear panel.
A louver provided at the bottom of 14 and a gripper 81 provided for gripping the rear pillar 70 when the vehicle body is routed.

Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 10. The same components as those of the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals.

Also in the second embodiment, as in the case of the first embodiment, a storage box 23 for storing a helmet or the like is provided behind the seat 18, and the vicinity of the opening of the storage box 23 is the side grip pipe portion. In addition to such an arrangement, it is reinforced on the front and back by 51 and thus has the same advantages as in the first embodiment, but in this second embodiment it is retained on the dashboard 30. A part (31) is provided, and the helmet (22) is configured to be stored therein in a non-removable state.

That is, in the motorcycle of the second embodiment, the eighth
As shown in the figure, a dashboard 30 is provided between the front screen 13 and the steering wheel 32, and a meter panel 33 is incorporated in the right side portion of the dashboard 30 in an offset state with respect to the center line of the vehicle body. There is. The upper surface of the meter panel 33 is a convex portion that is large enough to enter the inside of the helmet 22, and the convex portion serves as the holding portion 31 of the helmet 22.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the helmet 22 can be placed in a state of being covered with the holding portion 31, and the handle 32 can be pressed against the helmet 22 to be engaged. If the handle 32 engaged with the helmet 22 is locked by the handle lock switch 90 that also functions as the main switch, the helmet 22 holds the holding part.
It is sandwiched and fixed by 31, the front screen 13 and the handle 32, and cannot be moved in any of the front-back, up-down and left-right directions.

In the second embodiment, the helmet 22 has a holding portion 31.
It can be stored by simply mounting it on the handlebar 32 and locking the handle 32. Therefore, as in the case of the first embodiment, every time the helmet 22 is stored or taken out, the lid of the storage box 23 ( This is extremely convenient as it saves the trouble of opening and closing the backrest 19). Further, the helmet 22 stored as described above cannot be removed unless the handle 32 is unlocked, and therefore theft can be prevented.

In the present embodiment, the helmet 22 is held facing the front screen 13, and the helmet 22 held by the holding portion 31 is held in contact with the front screen 13, so that the helmet can be used even in rainy weather. The front screen 13 is completely shielded by the front screen 13 and can be reliably prevented from getting wet with rain.

In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the upper surface of the portion other than the portion of the dashboard 30 in which the meter panel 33 is incorporated, that is, the portion on the left side from the central portion is a recess. This makes it a tray 34 on which small items can be placed, and the tray 34
A rising wall portion 35 is formed at a portion on the vehicle compartment 17 side, and the wall portion 35 prevents the articles placed on the tray 34 from falling into the vehicle compartment 17. The bottom surface of the tray 34 is an inclined surface such that the front side (front screen 13 side) is lowered, and the articles placed on the tray 34 may move to the front side but may move to the rear side. Therefore, the fall can be surely prevented.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the lower edge of the front screen 13 is rubber-mounted to the vehicle body frame 1 via the stay 95 and the elastic material 96, and the front cover portion is the same as in the first embodiment. _9a is almost linearly continuous. Further, the front edge of the tray 34 is located at the height of the connecting portion between the front screen 13 and the front cover portion _9a, and as a result, as shown in FIG. without occupant sight is blocked by the front cover part 9 _a when viewed forward through good with forward view is secured, to the position of the lower end of the front screen 13 has a passenger compartment
It can be used as 17, and as a result, the vehicle compartment 17 can be widely secured. Further, as described above, the front screen 13 has a large size such that the upper end thereof is located directly above the seat 18, and by using the front wheel 60 having a diameter larger than that of the rear wheel 61, the front cover portion 9 _a located between has become small, thereby, the area for receiving the crosswind is reduced, there is an advantage that. Moreover, since the handle 32 is positioned rearward of the head pipe portion 3, a sufficient space is secured between the handle 32 and the front screen 13. The above is the same in the first embodiment.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, on both left and right sides of the dashboard 30, the air blown into the opening 77 shown in FIG. An outlet 101 is provided, and a wind direction adjusting knob 102 is attached to the outlet 101.

When the tray is provided on the dashboard 30, it may be considered that the meter panel 33 is mounted at the center of the dashboard 30 without being offset, and recesses are provided on both sides of the dashboard to form a tray. In that case, there is an inconvenience that a relatively large article cannot be placed because each tray is small, and in that respect, it is preferable to offset the meter panel 33 as in the above embodiment.

Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Also in the third embodiment, as in the first and second embodiments, a storage box 23 for storing a helmet or the like is provided behind the seat 18 and the storage box is provided.
The vicinity of the opening of 23 is reinforced by the side grip pipe portion 51 in the front-rear direction, and therefore has the same advantages as those of the first and second embodiments. In the third embodiment of the lever, a hook (holding portion) 40 for suspending the helmet 22 is provided in the vehicle compartment 17. The hook 40 is, for example, the joint 1 described above connecting the front screen 13 and the roof 15 as shown.
6, or built in the vicinity of the headrest 41 attached to the rear panel 14 to mount the helmet 22 on the roof.
15 or their roof 15 facing the rear panel 14
Or, it is supposed to be held in a position sufficiently close to the rear panel 14, but the hook 40 is attached to the upper part of the vehicle compartment 17 as much as possible, and the helmet 22 is located on the upper side of the vehicle compartment 17, that is, near the roof 15. It is better to hang it on. This is because if the suspended helmet 22 is located in the lower part of the vehicle compartment 17, it will not rain when it rains.
This is because there is a risk that the helmet 22 will get wet by being blown inside, but if the helmet 22 is hung near the roof 15, that risk is less likely.

Further, the hook 40 is provided with a key cylinder 105 for locking and locking the hook 40 on the buckle of the helmet 22.

According to the third embodiment, it is not necessary to secure a special storage portion in the vehicle compartment 17, and the hook 40 can be locked to prevent the helmet 22 from being stolen.

As shown in FIG. 11, the rear side cover portion 12 of the vehicle body cover 9 can be provided with an umbrella storage portion 111 into which the umbrella 110 can be inserted and stored. In this case, umbrella storage 1
If a hole for draining water is formed at the tip (bottom end) of 10, water will not accumulate inside.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, although each of the above-described embodiments has been described taking a motorcycle as an example, the present invention can be applied to a motorcycle as well. In addition, the front trunk room 24, the second described in the first embodiment.
It goes without saying that the tray 34 provided on the dashboard 30 described in the embodiment and the umbrella storage portion 110 described in the third embodiment can be applied to other embodiments.

[Advantage of Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the article storage section is provided on the rear frame behind the seat, the opening section is provided in the front section of the article storage section, and the opening section is formed by the lid member. In a frame structure for a scooter type vehicle that is configured to open and close, a side-view substantially gate-shaped reinforcing member that reinforces the vicinity of the opening of the article storage section in the front-rear direction is positioned on both sides of the article storage section, and is placed on the rear frame. Since it is provided, it is possible to prevent external force from being directly applied to the article storage section from the side by the reinforcing member and effectively prevent the article storage section from being deformed. Since the reinforcing member reinforces the vicinity of the opening of the article storage portion in the front-rear direction, deformation in the vicinity of the opening, which is particularly liable to be deformed, is surely prevented, and therefore the position of the lid member is aligned with the opening. The effect is that the accuracy is not impaired.

In particular, since the holding portion is provided at a position for holding the helmet facing either the front screen or the roof or the rear panel, the helmet held by the holding portion contacts the front screen, the roof or the rear panel in any case. Or at least it will be held in close proximity, which ensures that the helmet is effectively shielded by either the front screen, the roof or the rear panel and prevented from getting wet.
