A front basket 15 for loading luggage is provided above the front wheel 14, and is fixed to the front fork 13 via a stay 16 or the like. Reference numeral 17 denotes a handlebar for steering the front wheels 14. Reference numeral 18 denotes an engine unit as a power unit generally used for scooters and the like. The engine unit includes an engine (not shown) and a conduction case 19 extending rearward from one side of the engine.
The rear wheel 9 holds a rear wheel 20 as a driving wheel. The engine unit 18 also serves as a swing arm, and its front end is connected to a pivot shaft 22 erected at the rear end of the down tube 4 via a link 21.
Is swingably pivoted, and its rear end is elastically supported by the rear frame 5 by a rear shock absorber 23. The body frame 2 is curved downwardly between the handlebar 17 and the driver's seat 7 in a large U-shape to form a curved portion 24. The curved portion 24 is provided with a center carrier 25. The center carrier 25 includes a front carrier section 26 and a rear carrier section 27 as shown in FIG. 3 which is a perspective view thereof. The front carrier portion 26 is formed by bending a metal bar or the like, for example, in accordance with the shape of the upper frame cover 11. A bracket 28 for attaching to the vehicle body is provided at an upper portion thereof, and a rear portion is provided at a lower portion thereof. A stay 29 for attachment to the carrier 27 is provided. Further, the front carrier section 2
A plurality of hooks 30 are respectively provided on both side portions of 6. On the other hand, the rear carrier portion 27 is formed, for example, by fitting a metal plate or the like to a base portion 27a bent in a U-shape according to the shape of the lower frame cover 10, and, for example, by fitting a metal bar or the like to the shape of the maintenance cover 8. Bent pipe part 27
b, the pedestal portion 27a and the pipe portion 27
A plurality of hooks 31 are provided on both sides of b. FIG. 4 is an assembly view of the central portion of the vehicle body. FIG.
As shown in the figure, the rear frame 5 of the body frame 2 is covered by side covers 6 from left and right.
The maintenance cover 8 is attached to the front opening 6a. On the other hand, the rising portion 4a of the down tube 4 and the head pipe 3 are covered by the upper frame cover 11 and the leg shield 12 from front and rear. The horizontal portion 4b of the down tube 4 is covered by the lower frame cover 10 from above. And each cover 6,8,1
Reference numerals 1 and 10 are fixed to the vehicle body frame 2 by bolts or screws. A footrest 32 on which an occupant's foot rests is provided below both sides of the curved portion 24 of the body frame 2. The footrest 32 is a horizontal portion 4b of the down tube 4.
Are fastened together with the rear carrier portion mounting bracket 34 to the footrest mounting bracket 33 provided by the bolt 35 or the like. The pedestal 27a of the rear carrier 27 is fixed to the rear carrier mounting bracket 34 with bolts 36 or the like. The head pipe 3 is provided with a front carrier portion mounting bracket 37, and the mounting bracket 28 of the front carrier portion 26 is fastened to the front carrier portion mounting bracket 37 together with the upper frame cover 11 by bolts 38 or the like. Then, the mounting stay 29 of the front carrier portion 26 is fixed to the pedestal portion 27a of the rear carrier portion 27 with screws 39 or the like. Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 5 is a left side view of the center of the vehicle body. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, a hook 30 provided on one side of the front carrier 26 and a hook 3 provided on one side of the pedestal 27a and the pipe 27b of the rear carrier 27.
The side wall portion 41 is formed by tying a cord body 40 such as a rubber rope between the two. Similarly, a side wall is formed on the other side (not shown). Side walls 41 are provided on both sides of the center carrier 25.
Is formed, the curved portion 24 is in a basket state, and becomes an article storage room 43 in which the luggage 42 can be loaded. The luggage 42 does not fall during the running of the vehicle due to the side wall 41. Even if the load 42 mounted on the center carrier 25 is high, the center of gravity of the vehicle body is
Is mounted below the front basket 15 and the rear carrier 9 so that running stability is not impaired. When the baggage 42 is not mounted on the center carrier 25, the string 40 may be removed, so that the occupant does not get in the way when getting on and off the vehicle. Note that the height of the side wall portion 41 can be appropriately adjusted according to the height of the load 42 mounted on the center carrier 25. As described above, according to the motorcycle luggage loading device of the present invention, the body frame between the handlebar for steering the front wheels and the driving seat on which the occupant sits is lowered. In a motorcycle having a curved portion formed by bending into a U-shape, a center carrier is provided in the curved portion, and the center carrier includes a front carrier portion and a rear carrier portion, and both sides of each of the carrier portions. A plurality of hooks are provided in each part, and a string such as a rubber rope is wound between the hooks provided in the front and rear carrier parts to form a side wall part of the article storage chamber, so that the height is high. By mounting the luggage on the center carrier, the center of gravity of the vehicle body is lowered, and running stability is improved.
