Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a step shape of a passenger-type transport vehicle.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, the step shape of a passenger-type transport vehicle is based on the idea that the foot should be wide, even when sitting on the riding seat and driving operation, it does not interfere with the driver's feet during steering operation, Whether the position of the handle portion is easy to control has been studied, and the positional relationship between the handle portion and the operator was emphasized.
Therefore, in order to widen the feet of the operator, there is a case where there is no rising surface of step 31 located outside both feet as shown in FIG.
[0003]
However, the transport vehicle is often used on rough terrain, and when the vehicle body swings greatly, the operator often steps on the foot so that the body does not shake or move. In this case, it is better that there is a rising surface for stepping on the outside of both feet, and there is also a configuration in which a surface that rises vertically from the step is provided so that the operator can step on the foot. However, as shown in FIG. 6 , the surface 42 rising vertically from the step 41 is provided in parallel to the front-rear direction of the vehicle body and extends to the front end portion 43 of the step 41. The vertical surface 42 provided on 41 narrows the feet of the driver and not only gets in the way when getting on and off, but also allows the driver to move his / her foot in the case of a rollover or collision. There was also a risk of being unable to escape and lagging behind, leading to injury.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the passenger-type transport vehicle, the present invention makes it easy to move the foot even when the driver is a saddle, and can step on the foot even when traveling on rough terrain, and has a step shape that does not disturb the driver's getting on and off, It is an object to provide a transport vehicle that is safe and has good operability.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
A handle portion 3 is erected at a substantially central portion of the front side of the step 1 on the front side of the passenger seat 6 with an open side surface, and a traveling device including a wheel 4 or a crawler is provided below the step 1 so that the driver 5 In a passenger-type transport vehicle in which both feet are positioned on the rear side of the handle portion 3 when sitting, the rising surface 2 of Step 1 located outside the feet 11 and 11 of the operator 5 is configured to open forward , and The vehicle has a step- shaped configuration in which the front end of the rising surface 2 is formed rearward with respect to the rear end of the handle support post 7 of the handle portion 3 and is formed to be inclined upward .
Further, the upper side 2b of the rising surface 2 of the step 1 located outside the feet 11 and 11 of the operator 5 is inclined downward toward the front, and the front surface 12 of the bulging portion 13 provided outside the rising surface 2 is provided. Is a step shape of a transport vehicle formed so as to be inclined downward toward the front.
[0006]
[Action and effect of the invention]
According to one aspect of the present invention, in the riding-type truck in which both feet when the operator 5 sit riding seat 6 is steered in a state located at the rear side of the handle portion 3, both feet 11, 11 of the operator 5 The rising surface 2 of Step 1 located outside is formed in a front opening shape and is inclined upward and outward, and the front end of the rising surface 2 is positioned behind the rear end of the handle support post 7. because are liable operator is moving the foot toward the obliquely forward even if the instant, at the rising surface 2 of the step 1 even when rough terrain, since it is possible to stand firm at the foot to prevent the skid of the body, a safety On top of that, it does not get in the way of getting on and off the pilot from the front of the car.
[0007]
[0008]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, the rising surface 2 of step 1 is shaped to open forward or have an upward slope, and the upper side 2b of the rising surface 2 has a downward slope toward the front. since the front surface 12 of the formed inclined downward toward the front, further easily moved to pilot the sideways obliquely forward legs, straddle it possible legs to prevent body sideslip even during rough terrain In addition, the bulging portion 13 does not get in the way when the driver gets in and out of the vehicle diagonally forward and from the side.
[0010]
【Example】
Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The front part 10 of the vehicle body is provided with a riding part and an operation part, and a handle support post 7 erected from the step 1 at the front center of the front side of the riding seat 6 with an open side, and an upper part of the handle support post 7 A steering wheel 8 is provided obliquely upward from the boarding seat 6 side. Wheels 4 are provided on the left and right sides below step 1, and the vehicle body can be turned by operating the handle rod 8 to the left and right. The operator 5 gets on the vehicle body from diagonally forward or from the side, sits on the boarding seat 6 and grips the handle bar 8 to perform the traveling operation.
The first embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 3 shows an example in which the rising surface 2 of Step 1 is formed to have a front opening shape and an upward slope . Further, the front end of the rising surface 2 is positioned behind the rear end of the handle support post 7. Due to this shape, when the driver gets on and sits on the riding seat 6, the rising surface 2 of the step 1 having a length to the vicinity of the toes of both feet is provided, and the vehicle body is moved on rough terrain. The operator can step on the foot even if it shakes. When the driver gets on, it is natural that the toes of both feet face slightly outward, and the bottom side 2a of the rising surface 2 of step 1 has a shape that opens forward with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body along the outside of both feet. Therefore, it is easy to move your feet diagonally forward in the case of a heel.
Moreover, when boarding from diagonally forward of the vehicle body, the rising surface 2 of step 1 does not get in the way.
In addition, while ensuring the safety that the operator can step on the foot even when the car body shakes when riding on rough terrain, the foot can be moved diagonally forward and sideways in the case of a saddle. When performing from the above, the rising surface 2 of step 1 does not get in the way.
[0012]
[0013]
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4 as a second embodiment, the upper side 2b of the rising surface 2 in step 1 is inclined downward toward the front, and the front surface 12 of the bulging portion 13 provided outside the rising surface 2 is provided. If it forms so that it may become a downward slope toward the front, even if a driver gets on from the side and gets on the side, the rising surface 2 of step 1 does not get in the way.
