DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a scooter brake cable routing device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A scooter connects a hand lever of a steering wheel and a brake lever of a rear wheel with a brake cable.
By pulling the hand lever, the brake lever of the rear wheel is rotated via the brake cable to brake the rear wheel. The brake cable extends from the hand lever to the rear along the main pipe of the frame, passes through the side of the frame leg welded to the rear end of the main pipe, turns to the lower side of the power unit, and connects to the brake lever on the rear wheel I am trying to do it.

[0003]

In the power unit of the scooter, the left and right front lower arms are mounted on a case bracket mounted on a frame leg. The left and right arms tend to increase the interval to increase stability, and therefore the width of the frame leg tends to increase. When the width of the frame leg is widened, the detour to the side of the brake cable becomes large, and the operation resistance is increased.

In view of the foregoing, the present invention improves the operability and safety by allowing the brake cable to pass through a hole provided in the frame leg and passing between the left and right arms, thereby reducing the bending of the brake cable. An object of the present invention is to obtain a scooter brake cable routing device that can be used.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a scooter brake cable routing apparatus according to the present invention includes a brake cable extending from a hand lever of a handle along a main pipe of a frame, and a brake cable extending after the main pipe. Pass the frame leg welded to the end back and forth, attach to the frame leg, pass through the upper side of the case bracket that supports the left and right arms at the lower front of the power unit, and pass through the lower side of the power unit from between the left and right arms to the rear wheel Of the brake lever.

[0006]

The brake cable is penetrated back and forth through a hole provided in the frame leg welded to the rear end of the main pipe, so that it does not matter even if the width of the frame leg becomes large, and the bending can be reduced. And, from the upper side of the case bracket, it can be routed to the lower side of the power unit through between the left and right arms, and can be routed almost linearly,
The bending of the brake cable can be reduced, the operating resistance can be reduced and the operability can be improved.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. The scooter frame 1 is made of a main pipe 2 made of steel pipe at the front. The rear part of the main pipe 2 is at a low position, and a body frame 3 made of a steel plate is connected and welded. The frame leg 4 is welded to the lower rear end of the main pipe 2. The frame legs 4 are extended right and left in a box shape, and the case brackets 5 are attached thereto.

The power unit 6 has an engine at the front,
A transmission device extending rearward is incorporated, and a rear wheel 7 is provided at the rear end.
Is installed. The power unit 6 has left and right arms 8 projecting from the front lower portion, and the left and right arms 8 are pivotally supported on the case bracket 5. The power unit 6 can swing by the cushion unit, and the rear wheel 7 can be cushioned. It is like that.

One end of a brake cable 11 is connected to a hand lever 10 provided on the handle 9. The brake cable 11 extends rearward along the main pipe 2, penetrates through a hole 12 provided in the frame leg 4, passes between the left and right arms 8 from above the case bracket 5, and passes under the power unit 6. Extend the side to the back. Then, the rear end of the brake cable 11 is connected to the brake lever 13 of the rear wheel 7.

When the hand lever 10 is pulled with the finger of the hand holding the handle 9, the inner of the brake cable 11 can be pulled, and the brake lever 13 can be rotated to brake the rear wheel 7. The brake cable 11
Since the frame leg 4 is penetrated and passes from the upper side of the case bracket 5 to the left and right arms 8 of the power unit 6 and is connected to the brake lever 13 of the rear wheel 7 through the lower side of the power unit 6, the wiring is almost straight. As a result, the bending of the brake cable 11 can be reduced.

[0011]

As described above, since the present invention is constructed as described above, even if the width of the frame leg is widened and the rigidity of the power unit is increased, the brake cable penetrates the frame leg back and forth. As a result, there is no need to bypass the outside of the frame leg, the bending can be reduced, and the operating resistance can be reduced. Also, since the brake cable extends through the frame leg and the inside extends to the rear side, there is no possibility of accidentally hitting a foot or the like, thereby improving safety.
