Two position lamps were not installed and only a single position lamp was built into the headlights. This position lamp, in particular, is different from the direction indicator lamp and is lit simultaneously with the headlight or separately from the headlight so that the position of the scooter can be easily recognized by another vehicle. [0003] However, in a position lamp with a built-in headlight, the position of the position lamp and the position of the headlight are visually recognized from the outside as substantially the same position. Therefore, when the headlights are turned on, there is an inconvenience that a practical effect is not so expected. Further, in a motorcycle such as a scooter, the visibility is relatively low as compared with a passenger car. Therefore, it is required that the motorcycle be as noticeable as possible. There was also an inconvenience that they did not always sufficiently respond to such demands. [0005] It is an object of the present invention to provide a scooter with a position lamp capable of improving the disadvantages of the prior art and, in particular, effectively ensuring visibility from other vehicles. Is what you do. Accordingly, in the present invention, a scooter main body and an upper handle of the scooter main body are provided.

The front of the main body extends diagonally forward and covers
Cormorants and front fender, the scooter having a fixed-mounted leg shield in front portions of the left and right sides of the scooter body downward from left and right <br/> side end surface of the front fender, the leg shield when viewed from the front Top is maximum width
Formed with a gentle curvature so that the maximum
In the upper area of the wide leg shield,
Formed forward and sideways in the traveling direction of the vehicle body,
The method employs a method of mounting a position lamp formed so as to be lit simultaneously or individually independently of the lighting .
This aims to achieve the above-mentioned object. In the present invention, since the position lamp is mounted at a position relatively separated from the normal position where the headlights are provided, lighting display is performed at a plurality of locations. The scooter position can be visually recognized in a more prominent state. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of the present invention. Here, FIG. 1 is a front view showing a mounted state of the position lamp of the scooter according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a partial side view thereof. FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of a portion A in FIG. In these figures, a front fender 15 extending diagonally forward is provided below a headlight 11 arranged between upper handles of the scooter main body 10. The front fender 15 is formed of a synthetic resin material and includes a leg shield 16 having an arcuate side shape on both lower sides thereof.
Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the front fender 15 is formed to have a gentle curve so that the upper portion of the leg shield 16 has a maximum width when viewed from the front. In the upper region of the leg shield 16,
Position lamps 20 are respectively mounted. In this embodiment, the position lamp 20 is turned on at the same time as the headlight 11 is turned on.
It is provided so as to be able to be turned on independently of the device 1. As shown in detail in FIG. 3, the position lamp 20 includes a lighting bulb 22 supported by a hole 21 formed in the leg shield 16 and a lighting bulb 22.
A lamp housing 23 surrounding the lamp housing 2 in a housed state;
And a lens 24 fixed to the lamp housing 23. The lamp housing 23 and the lens 24
Are formed of a synthetic resin material, and project further outward than the leg shield 16 in the mounted state. In FIG. 3, the upper portion of the lamp housing 23 is fixed by screws 25, while the lower portion of the lamp housing 23 is engaged with a hook 26 formed integrally with the lamp housing 23 in a hole 27 of the leg shield 16, thereby forming a lamp. The housing 23 can be fixed to the leg shield 16. Also, the lens 24
Are colored orange or the like in order to ensure good visibility from the outside. In the above configuration, when the headlights 11 are turned on, the position lamps 20 mounted on both sides of the front fender 15 are also turned on at the same time, and when viewed from the front, the front of the scooter main body 10 has a plurality of positions. Will be displayed. Therefore, according to such an embodiment, since the position lamps 20 are arranged on the left and right at positions farther from the headlight 11, the position of the headlight 11
Simultaneous lighting with the above has an effect that visibility from the outside can be improved more than the conventional product. Further, according to the above configuration, even if the headlamp 11 is cut off, a separate lighting display by the position lamp 20 is possible, so that good visibility can be maintained from this point as well. Be expected. Further, as in the above-described embodiment, the position lamp 20 has a structure in which the area of the lamp housing 23 and the lens 24 protrudes further outward than the leg shield 16, so that the scooter body 10 falls over for some reason. Then, the position lamp 20 acts as a protector, and it can be expected that the front fender 15 which is a large-sized synthetic resin molded product can be effectively protected from damage. Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description,
The same reference numerals are used for the same or equivalent components as those of the first embodiment, and the description is omitted or simplified. In the second embodiment, the position lamp 20
Is characterized in that it is provided further below the mounting position of the first embodiment. Specifically, the position lamps 20 are respectively mounted on the front fork covers 31 located on the left and right sides of the front wheel 30 in a direction perpendicular to the vehicle body direction. The front fork cover 31 has a shape extending along a front fork 32 (see FIG. 4). A bulb 22 constituting a part of the position lamp 20 is provided below the front fork cover 31.
Is provided. The front fork cover 31 has a substantially L-shaped lamp housing 3.
The lamp housing 34 has a hole 35 corresponding to the hole 33 formed in the front fork cover 31 and has a hook 36 on the surface contacting the front fork cover 31. Are formed to protrude. The lamp housing 34 is fixed to the front fork cover 31 by screws 38 with the hook 36 engaged with the slot 37 of the front fork cover 31. The front open side of the lamp housing 34 is closed by a lens 39. The lens 39 is formed with a protrusion 39A that is pressed against the inner surface of the lamp housing 34. By pressing the protrusion 39A along the inner surface of the lamp housing 34, the lens 39 is pressed against the lamp housing 34 with an appropriate click operation. It can be fitted. According to the second embodiment, since the position lamp 20 is provided on the front fork cover 31, the front fork cover 31 operates in a similar manner following the operation of the handle of the scooter body 10. Therefore, it is possible to add an effect that the position of the vehicle can be visually recognized by another vehicle in a state where the vehicle can be easily viewed. In the second embodiment, since the position of the position lamp 20 is relatively lower than that of the first embodiment, a wider irradiation range can be ensured, and the surrounding situation can be reduced. There is also an effect that it can be expected to grasp more clearly. Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that this third
In this embodiment, the same reference numerals are used for the same components as those in the second embodiment. In the third embodiment, the position lamp 2
The second embodiment differs from the second embodiment in that the projecting direction of 0 is provided in the traveling direction. That is, the hole 33 for indicating the bulb 22 constituting a part of the position lamp 20 is formed on the front side of the front fork cover 31, and the lamp housing 34 is hooked at the up and down position sandwiching the hole 33. The front fork cover 31 is fixed to the front fork cover 31 by the action of the screw 36 and the screw 38. A lens 39 is fixed to the front open side of the lamp housing 34 via a hook 39A. According to the third embodiment, the second embodiment
The same operation and effect as those of the embodiment can be obtained. The present invention is configured as described above, and
Therefore, according to this, the lighting of the position lamp at a position relatively distant from the headlight of the scooter further improves the visibility of the scooter from other vehicles, and has an unprecedented superior effect. A scooter position lamp to be played can be provided.
