The lens 49R is substantially symmetrical with the left direction indicator 45L, and has a similar mounting structure on the right side of the front cover half 16. Mounted on.

而して右側の方向指示器４５Ｒが左側の方向指示器４５Ｌと異なるのは、ハンドルカバー１５の外面に連なるようにしてハウジング４７Ｒに一体に連設されてハンドルカバー１５の右端壁の少なくとも一部（この実施例では略半部）を構成する外観カバー部５１Ｒに、ブレーキレバー１４の作動を許容するようにして該ブレーキレバー１４を配置するための凹部６４が設けられる点であり、後部カバー半体１７の右端壁部１７ｂには、ハンドル部１１ａの略後半部を挿通せしめる半円状の凹部６５が設けられる。   Thus, the right direction indicator 45R is different from the left direction indicator 45L in that it is connected to the housing 47R so as to be continuous with the outer surface of the handle cover 15, and is at least part of the right end wall of the handle cover 15. The outer cover 51R that constitutes (substantially half in this embodiment) is provided with a recess 64 for disposing the brake lever 14 so as to allow the operation of the brake lever 14, and the rear cover half The right end wall portion 17b of the body 17 is provided with a semicircular recess 65 through which the substantially second half portion of the handle portion 11a is inserted.

ところで、ハンドルカバー１５の少なくとも外面が塗装されるのに対し、前記左側および右側の方向指示器４５Ｌ，４５Ｒにおいて、外観カバー部５１Ｌ，５１Ｒを含むハウジング４７Ｌ，４７Ｒは着色樹脂によって形成されるものである。   By the way, at least the outer surface of the handle cover 15 is painted, whereas in the left and right direction indicators 45L and 45R, the housings 47L and 47R including the outer cover portions 51L and 51R are made of colored resin. is there.

次にこの実施例の作用について説明すると、ハンドルカバー１５の左右に配設される灯火器である左右の方向指示器４５Ｌ，４５Ｒのハウジング４７Ｌ，４７Ｒは、ハンドルカバー１５に着脱可能に取付けられるものであり、しかも前記ハウジング４７Ｌ，４７Ｒには、ハンドルカバー１５の外面に連なる外観カバー部５１Ｌ，５１Ｒが一体に形成されている。   Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. The housings 47L and 47R of the left and right direction indicators 45L and 45R, which are lighting devices arranged on the left and right of the handle cover 15, are detachably attached to the handle cover 15. Moreover, the housings 47L and 47R are integrally formed with outer cover portions 51L and 51R that are continuous with the outer surface of the handle cover 15.

したがってハンドルカバー１５の左右両側に着脱可能に取付けられる方向指示器４５Ｌ，４５Ｒを有効に利用し、ハンドルカバー１５の左右両端部に傷等が生じたときに、方向指示器４５Ｌ，４５Ｒを交換するだけで対処することができ、ハンドルカバー１５全体を交換することを不要としてメンテナンスコストを低減することができる。   Accordingly, the direction indicators 45L and 45R which are detachably attached to the left and right sides of the handle cover 15 are effectively used, and the direction indicators 45L and 45R are exchanged when scratches or the like are generated on the left and right ends of the handle cover 15. Therefore, it is not necessary to replace the entire handle cover 15, and the maintenance cost can be reduced.

またハンドルカバー１５の両側には、前方および側方に開放した切欠き部４６Ｌ，４６Ｒが設けられており、それらの切欠き部４６Ｌ，４６Ｒに嵌まり込むようにして前記方向指示器４５Ｌ，４５Ｒがハンドルカバー１５に取付けられるので、ハンドルカバー１５に対する方向指示器４５Ｌ，４５Ｒの取付けおよび取り外し操作を容易とすることができる。   Further, notches 46L and 46R opened forward and laterally are provided on both sides of the handle cover 15, and the direction indicators 45L and 45R are fitted to the notches 46L and 46R. Since it is attached to the cover 15, the attaching and detaching operations of the direction indicators 45L and 45R with respect to the handle cover 15 can be facilitated.

また前記外観カバー部５１Ｌ，５１Ｒが、ハンドルカバー１５の左右両端壁の少なくとも一部を構成するようにしてハウジング４７Ｌ，４７Ｒに一体に形成されるので、ハンドルカバー１５の左右両端壁の少なくとも一部が外観カバー部５１Ｌ，５１Ｒで形成されることになり、傷等が生じ易い箇所に外観カバー部５１Ｌ，５１Ｒを効果的に配置することができる。   Further, since the appearance cover portions 51L and 51R are integrally formed with the housings 47L and 47R so as to constitute at least a part of the left and right end walls of the handle cover 15, at least a part of the left and right end walls of the handle cover 15 is formed. Are formed by the outer cover portions 51L and 51R, and the outer cover portions 51L and 51R can be effectively arranged in places where scratches or the like are likely to occur.

しかもハンドルカバー１５の少なくとも外面が塗装されるのに対して、外観カバー部５１Ｌ，５１Ｒを含むハウジング４７Ｌ，４７Ｒが着色樹脂から成るものであるので、外観カバー部５１Ｌ，５１Ｒに傷がついても目立たなくすることが可能であり、外観カバー部５１Ｌ，５１Ｒに傷がついても方向指示器４５Ｌ，４５Ｒの交換を極力しないですむようにして、メンテナンスコストをより低減することができる。   Moreover, at least the outer surface of the handle cover 15 is painted, whereas the housings 47L and 47R including the outer cover portions 51L and 51R are made of colored resin, so that the outer cover portions 51L and 51R are conspicuous even if they are damaged. The maintenance cost can be further reduced by replacing the direction indicators 45L and 45R as much as possible even if the exterior cover portions 51L and 51R are damaged.

さらに方向指示器４５Ｌ，４５Ｒが備えるハウジング４７Ｌ，４７Ｒには、バルブ４８Ｌ，４８Ｒから放射される光を反射するリフレクタ５０…が一体に形成されるので、部品点数を低減することができる。   Further, the housings 47L and 47R included in the direction indicators 45L and 45R are integrally formed with the reflectors 50 for reflecting the light emitted from the valves 48L and 48R, so that the number of parts can be reduced.

以上、本発明の実施例を説明したが、本発明は上記実施例に限定されるものではなく、特許請求の範囲に記載された本発明を逸脱することなく種々の設計変更を行うことが可能である。   Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various design changes can be made without departing from the present invention described in the claims.
