As shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4, the air cleaner 15 is disposed obliquely so that the front side opens in the front-rear direction in the front-rear direction in a sealed space formed by the air cleaner case 20 and the cover 21. The dirty room 23 and the clean room 24 are partitioned by the filter 22.
[0014]
The dirty room 23 sucks outside air from behind through the suction duct 25. The suction duct 25 extends from the center of the back surface of the air cleaner case 20 to the right side of the vehicle body, bends forward, and is connected to the rear portion of the dirty room 23 in the vicinity of the rear end of the filter 22. Clean air in the clean room 24 is supplied to the vaporizer 14 from a contube 26 extending forward from the center of the front surface of the cover 21.
[0015]
On the left side of the air cleaner case 20 opposite to the cover 21, a battery holder 27 is formed in a substantially U-shaped rib shape that is opened upward in a side view, and integrally protrudes laterally. A battery 28 is supported.
[0016]
Below the air cleaner case 20, a tool box 30 for storing the tool 47 and an accessory case 31, which is an example of another article storage unit in the present invention, are integrally formed so as to overlap each other. The tool box 30 is opened to the left side of the vehicle body, and the opening portion is detachably closed by a lid 32. A partition wall 33 corresponding to the bottom portion and the ceiling portion of the accessory case 31 is inclined obliquely toward the left side of the vehicle body.
[0017]
The accessory case 31 forms a cylindrical space that opens toward the right side of the vehicle body, is covered with a lower cover 34, and has a cylindrical protrusion that matches the shape of the opening of the accessory case 31 formed integrally with the lower cover 34. The portion 35 is fitted around the opening.
[0018]
The upper part of the lower cover 34 overlaps the lower inner side of the side cover 36 on the right side of the vehicle body and covers the side of the accessory case 31 and the side of the drain 29 hanging from the lower part of the cover 21. The side of the cover 21 is covered with a side cover 36 on the right side of the vehicle body.
[0019]
The tool box 30 and the accessory case 31 are opened in opposite directions, and the slanted partition wall 33 is formed so that the space is enlarged toward the opening side and the frontage is enlarged.
[0020]
When the tool box 30 and the accessory case 31 are inclined in the reverse direction as described above, they can be easily formed by making the punching dies, which are to be pulled out in the left and right reverse directions, to form the taper in the reverse direction. Further, a step space is formed between the opening side of the tool box 30 and the bottom 37 of the accessory case 31, and the upper side of the chain 39 is disposed here (FIG. 1).
[0021]
The opening shape of the accessory case 31 is substantially triangular (FIG. 3), and is formed so that the wide portion 40 of the frontage is downward, the narrow portion 41 of the frontage is upward, and the bottom 42 is inclined. A known U-shaped lock device 43, which is an example of a vehicle lock device, is accommodated in the accessory case 31. The U-shaped lock device 43 includes a round bar-shaped and thick lock portion 44 and a latch 45 having a U-shape with a narrower diameter than the narrow opening portion 41, and is opened and closed with a key 46.
[0022]
1 is a blow-by gas reduction chamber, reference numeral 51 in FIG. 3 is a blow-by gas reduction tube, and 52, 53 and 54 are attachment portions of the side cover 16. As shown in FIG. 5, the side cover 16 is attached to the vehicle body and the vehicle body frame 1 in the vertical direction with the upper part at two front and rear positions (52, 53) and the lower part at one position (54). Of these, the lower attachment portion 54 is attached to the vehicle body frame 1 by a key lock.
[0023]
As shown in FIG. 6, the upper front mounting portion 52 is a substantially arrow-shaped protrusion that protrudes inwardly of the vehicle body, and is engaged by being inserted into a mounting hole on the vehicle body frame side. The upper rear mounting portion 53 has a tongue-like shape protruding inward of the vehicle body, and is engaged by inserting a protrusion 55 (see FIG. 5) protruding from the vehicle body side into a hole formed therein. Further, a vaporizer cover portion 56 of the vaporizer 14 (FIG. 2) is provided above the front end portion of the side cover 16, and a slit-like opening 57 is formed on the front surface thereof.
[0024]
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, since the accessory box 31 that overlaps the tool box 30 in the vertical direction is provided, various articles other than the tool stored in the tool box 30 can be stored.
[0025]
In addition, the position of the accessory case 31 can utilize a space below the tool box 30 that has not been used so far, and when it is provided elsewhere, it influences the overall design of the vehicle body and makes it difficult to secure a layout space. In addition, the use of separate parts causes problems such as an increase in the number of parts and high costs. However, according to the present embodiment, such problems can be solved.
[0026]
In addition, since the frontage shape is substantially triangular, the U-shaped lock device 43 that is large and often difficult to store when not in use can be stored. In this case, as shown in FIG. 1, the length of the lock portion 44 in the U-shaped lock device 43 is directed in the vehicle width direction, and the latch 45 is inserted obliquely in accordance with the bottom portion 42.
[0027]
At this time, by providing the wide opening 40, the thick lock portion 44 can be stored, and the thin latch 45 can be stored obliquely at the front end in the narrow opening 41, so that a wasteful space is not formed. The character-shaped locking device 43 can be stored. Moreover, since the bottom portion 42 is slanted, the accessory case 31 can be stopped to a capacity necessary and sufficient for storing the U-shaped lock device 43, and the amount of protrusion downward of the air cleaner case 20 is reduced. The accessory case 31 can be efficiently formed in the space below the tool box 30 provided.
[0028]
Further, the tool box 30 and the accessory case 31 are opened in the opposite directions and the partition wall 33 is inclined, so that the tool box 30 and the accessory case 31 are easily formed by using a punching die simultaneously with the formation of the air cleaner case 20. it can.
[0029]
In addition, since the chain arrangement space 38 is formed below the tool box 30 and on the side of the bottom wall 37 in the depth direction, the tool box 30 and the accessory case 31 can be formed to the limit of the arrangement space of the chain 39. Can be increased.
[0030]
Next, another embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, a common code | symbol is used about a common function part with a previous Example. This embodiment is different in that the tool box 30 and the accessory case 31 are opened in the same direction, and each is formed by a tapered punching die from the same direction, so that the frontage is formed as a wide and narrow space. The partition wall 33 is thin on the opening side and gradually increases in depth.
[0031]
Each opening of the tool box 30 and the accessory case 31 is covered with a common lid 60, and the boundary between the tool box 30 and the accessory case 31 is a thin resin hinge part 61, and the tool part 62 is located above the sandwiched portion. The lower part is a box part 63. The lower part of the side cover 36 covering the right side of the air cleaner 15 extends to the vicinity of the hinge part 61 and covers the outside of the tool part 62.
[0032]
Therefore, in order to open the tool box 30, it is necessary to remove the lid 60 after removing the side cover 36, thus preventing theft. However, if the accessory case 31 is simply opened, the box part 63 can be opened and closed from the hinge part 61. Therefore, the accessory case 31 can be used without removing the side cover 36, and the operability is excellent. Other parts are similar in structure and effect to those of the previous embodiment.
[0033]
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and can be applied and modified in various ways. For example, the positional relationship between the tool box 30 and the accessory case 31 can be turned upside down.
