Description

  The present invention relates to a grip member for a motorcycle, and more particularly to a grip member for a motorcycle provided with a grip bar that a passenger sitting on a rear seat grips with one hand at a rear position of the motorcycle.

  In the case of a motorcycle, a grip member may be disposed behind the rear seat. In other words, this grip member is disposed for gripping by a passenger sitting on the rear seat (see Patent Document 1).

  Further, this grip member may be provided below the rear seat and at a front position depending on the type of motorcycle.

  However, in the case of the conventional grip member, the position is uniquely determined. Therefore, when a passenger with a different physique sits on the rear seat, it may be difficult to reach the hand or the hand (arm) ) May be too much to bend the elbow.

In some cases, a carrier for integrally loading a load is provided on the grip member (see Patent Document 2).

In two places ,
The upper surfaces of the grip bars are substantially the same as the height of the rear seat .

  According to the grip member of the motorcycle configured as described above, since the grip bars are provided at least two places on the front and rear, it is only necessary to grip the bar that is easier to grip according to the physique. Therefore, if the bar is provided at two or more places, for example, three places, the passenger can select a bar that is easy to grip according to his / her physique. Further, according to the grip member according to the present invention, since the upper surface of the grip member is substantially coincident with the height of the rear seat, even when a passenger does not ride on the rear seat, even a large baggage extends from the rear seat to the upper surface of the grip member. It can be installed.

  Further, in the grip member of the motorcycle, the grip member is composed of a pair of side members arranged in parallel to both side portions and a cross member connecting the side members on both sides, and at least one of the cross members is When the grip bar is configured, the grip member has high strength and sufficient size and strength even when used as a carrier.

  Further, in the grip member of the motorcycle, a cross section of the grip bar has a space shape when the passenger grips with a hand, that is, a fingertip abuts against a palm when grasping with a hand. If the shape of the space formed in the palm portion is substantially equal, a grip bar that is easy to grip and less fatigued is obtained.

  Further, in the grip member of the motorcycle, when the upper surface of the grip bar is substantially coincident with the height of the rear seat, it is possible to support the upper surface of the bar when loading a load. . Therefore, even a large luggage can be held.

  Hereinafter, a grip member for a motorcycle according to an embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side view of a rear portion of a motorcycle showing a state in which a grip member according to an embodiment of the present invention is disposed behind a rear seat of a motorcycle, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration of the grip member shown in FIG.
