DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the first invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows U according to the first invention.
Side view of a motorcycle that adopts a storage structure with a letter-shaped lock,
FIG. 2 is a side view showing a main part of the seat in a cutaway manner, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the seat turned upside down. In these drawings, 1 is a motorcycle, and this motorcycle 1 is the same as a conventional one except that a seat 2 described later is different.
3 is a body frame of the motorcycle 1, 4 is a front fork, and the front fork 4 is steerably supported by a head pipe 5 of the body frame 3, and a front wheel 6 is rotatably supported at a lower end portion and an upper end portion. Is provided with a traveling handle 7.

Reference numeral 8 is an engine mounted on the vehicle body frame 3, 9 is a rear arm, and the rear arm 9 is supported on the vehicle body frame 3 via a pivot shaft 10 so as to be vertically swingable, and at the swinging end portion thereof, the rear arm is provided. The wheel 11 is rotatably supported. Reference numeral 12 is a fuel tank, and the fuel tank 12 is supported by the main pipe 3 a of the vehicle body frame 3.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a seat rail for supporting the seat 2. The seat rail 13 is provided on the left and right so as to support both the left and right sides of the seat 2, and each is connected to the rear end portion of the main pipe 3a. It extends rearward from the main pipe 3a. A seat stay 14 is connected to a substantially central portion of the seat rail 13 in the longitudinal direction.

The seat 2 is composed of a synthetic resin bottom plate 15 and an outer cover 1.
6 is filled with urethane foam 17 and is detachably attached to the seat rail 13 via a fixture (not shown). The bottom plate 15 of the seat 2 is provided with a U-shaped lock indicated by reference numeral 18 in the drawing in the holder 1.
It is attached by 9. This U-shaped lock 18
Is a body block 20 into which a key (not shown) is inserted.
And a U-shaped hook 2 connected to the body block 20.
1 is well known in the art. That is, when the key is operated to unlock the lock, the U-shaped hook 21 is disengaged with respect to the main body block 20 in the longitudinal direction.

A holder 19 for fixing the U-shaped lock 18 to the seat 2 has a structure for holding the U-shaped lock 18 along the bottom plate 15, and a main body block 20 of the U-shaped lock 18 is engaged. A holding piece 22 having a substantially J-shaped cross section to be inserted,
23, and a rubber band 25 provided with ring 24 that engages with the bent end portions of the holding pieces 22 and 23 at both ends.
And the cover 2 into which the bent portion of the U-shaped hook 21 fits
6 and 6. In addition, the holding pieces 22, 23
The cover 26 is integrally formed with the bottom plate 15 so as to project downward from the bottom plate 15.

In order to fix the U-shaped lock 18 to the seat 2 by the above-mentioned holder 19, first, the U-shaped hook 2
Insert the bent portion of 1 into the inside of the cover 26, press the main body block 20 against the bottom plate 15, and hold both holding pieces 22,
Make it between 23. Then, the rubber band 25 is stretched over the main body block 20 (the lower position when the seat is mounted) so as to be mounted between the holding pieces 22 and 23. Further, when removing the U-shaped lock 18 from the seat 2, the rubber band 25 is removed from both holding pieces 22 and 23, the main body block 20 is pulled out from between the holding pieces 22 and 23, and the bent portion of the U-shaped hook 21 is removed. It may be pulled out from the cover 26.

Further, the seat 2 is provided with a bottom plate 1 in order to prevent the U-shaped lock 18 from vibrating when traveling while the U-shaped lock 18 is held by the holder 19.
5, an opening 27 is formed, and the urethane foam 17 inside is bulged from the opening 27. This opening 27 is
It is formed at three positions, that is, a part between the holding pieces 22 and 23, a part facing the substantially central part in the longitudinal direction of the U-shaped hook 21, and a part inside the cover 26. That is, when attaching the U-shaped lock 18 to the seat 2, the bulging portion of the urethane foam 17 is compressed by the U-shaped lock 18. Therefore, the U-shaped lock 18 fixed to the seat 2 is in a state of being pressed against the rubber band 25 and the cover 26 by the elastic force of the urethane foam 17, so that it does not vibrate with respect to the seat 2. .

Therefore, according to the motorcycle 1 shown in this embodiment, the U-shaped lock 18 can be stored under the seat 2 when not in use.

Next, the storage structure of the U-shaped lock according to the second invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is a side view showing the U-shaped lock storage structure according to the second invention,
5 is a perspective view and FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along the line VI-VI in FIG. 4, where FIG. 5 (a) shows a fixed state of the U-shaped lock and FIG. Indicates the state of.
In these figures, the same or equivalent members as those described in FIGS. 1 to 3 are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In these drawings, reference numeral 31 is a storage box arranged below the seat. This storage box 31
Is formed of a box main body 32 that opens upward and a lid 33 that closes the opening of the box main body 32 and is surrounded by the main pipe 3 a, the seat rail 13, and the seat stay 14 of the vehicle body frame 3. It is arranged in a portion and is supported and fixed to the vehicle body frame 3 via a bracket (not shown). The lid 33 is integrally formed with a holder 34 for fixing the U-shaped lock 18 to the lid 33 so that the U-shaped lock 18 extends along a seat (not shown).

The holder 34 is composed of a flexible locking piece 34a projecting upward from the upper surface of the lid 33 and a support plate 34b having an L-shaped cross section projecting rearward from the rear surface of the lid 33. ing. The locking pieces 34a are formed in a slender shape in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, and are provided at two positions inward of the U-shaped hook 21 and corresponding to the two rows of pipes forming the U-shaped hook 21. ing. Each locking piece 34a is curved so that the portion of the U-shaped hook 21 facing the pipe is in contact with the pipe. The support plate 34b is formed to support the body block 20 of the U-shaped lock 18.

The holder 34 having the above-described structure is provided with U
In order to hold the letter-shaped lock 18, first, a seat (not shown) is removed from the vehicle body to expose the upper part of the storage box 31. Then, the locking pieces 34a, 34a provided at two positions on the upper portion of the lid 33 are picked by hand and elastically deformed as shown in FIG. In this state, the U-shaped lock 18 is pressed against the lid 33 from above so that these locking pieces 34a face the inside of the U-shaped hook 21. At this time, the main body block 20 is positioned above the support plate 34b.

With the locking piece 34a inserted inside the U-shaped hook 21, release the hand holding the locking piece 34a,
The attachment is completed by pressing the U-shaped lock 18 against the lid 33. By doing so, as shown in FIG. 6A, the U-shaped hook 21 is locked by the locking pieces 34a, 34a, and the main body block 20 is supported by the support plate 34b. Although the body block 20 of the U-shaped lock 18 is heavier than the U-shaped hook 21, the body block 2 is supported by the support plate 34b as shown in this embodiment.
If 0 is supported, it is possible to prevent the U-shaped hook 21 from being lifted upward and the locking portion from coming off due to a weight difference.

Further, in order to release the U-shaped lock 18 held in the storage box 31 as described above, the bent portion of the U-shaped hook 21 is lifted upward and the locking piece 34a is locked. It may be released as shown in (b).

Therefore, even if the holder 34 is provided in the storage box 31 located below the seat in this manner, the U-shaped lock 18 can be stored under the seat when not in use.
