The front rack structure 30 according to the present embodiment includes a leg shield cover 20 that forms the back surface of the leg shield 24 and a front rack 21 that is attached to the leg shield cover 20.

  First, the leg shield cover 20 is attached so as to cover the leg shield main body 25 constituting the surface of the leg shield 24 from the back side, thereby constituting the leg shield 24 as a whole. As shown in FIG. 3, the leg shield cover 20 is attached to the leg shield body 25 via locking portions 40 a to 40 d formed at the upper left and right ends and the lower left and right ends, respectively. Further, the leg shield cover 20 is fixed to the steering head pipe 3 via locking portions 41a and 41b formed at the center in the left and right direction as shown in FIG. The space formed between the leg shield body 25 and the leg shield cover 20, that is, the leg shield 24, covers the steering head pipe 3, a part of the down tube pipe 2, a part of the front fork 5, and the like. .

  In addition, a bulging portion 43 that bulges rearward is formed at the center in the left-right direction of the leg shield cover 20 along the vertical direction. The raised portion 43 is raised along the steering head pipe 3 and the down tube pipe 2 in order to prevent interference with the steering head pipe 3 and the down tube pipe 2. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 1, the raised portion 43 is inclined forward as it goes downward on the upper side covering the steering head pipe 3, and downward on the lower side covering the down tube pipe 2. To tilt backwards. Further, on the right side of the raised portion 43 of the leg shield cover 20, an opening 44 is formed through which a main key unit (not shown) is exposed as shown in FIGS. The leg shield cover 20 having the shape described above is integrally injection-molded with a resin or the like using a mold.

  Next, the front rack 21 is attached to the leg shield cover 20 from the side of the seating seat 18, so that a bag-shaped accommodation portion 22 that opens upward by a space between the leg shield cover 20 and the front rack 21. Is formed. The front rack 21 is formed to have substantially the same width as the left and right widths of the leg shield cover 20, and is formed in a substantially curved shape in which a surface that becomes a design surface when viewed from the seating seat 18 side gently swells rearward. Furthermore, attachment portions 51 a to 51 f for the leg shield main body 25 are formed at the left and right ends of the front rack 21 and in contact with the leg shield cover 20 as shown in FIG. 6. In addition, a convex support 52 that protrudes toward the leg shield cover 20 is formed at the lower portion of the front rack 21 in the left-right direction and in contact with the leg shield cover 20, as shown in FIG. . The support part 52 is integrally formed with the U-shaped mounting base 53 as shown in the enlarged part C shown in FIG. The front rack 21 is positioned with respect to the leg shield cover 20 by fitting the support portion 52 into a support hole (not shown) formed in the leg shield cover 20.

  Further, two parallel rib portions 54 a and 54 b are formed on the front rack 21 so as to extend toward the leg shield cover 20 at a position spaced to the left from the support portion 52. When the front rack 21 is attached to the leg shield cover 20, the parallel rib portions 54 a and 54 b are in contact with or close to the raised portion 43 of the leg shield cover 20. And between these parallel rib parts 54a and 54b, it forms as the coin holding | maintenance part 55 which can hold | maintain in the state which stood the coin upright. The coin holding part 55 can be in a state where the coins shown by broken lines in FIG. In addition, in order to make it easy to take out the coin, it is preferable that the height of the two parallel rib portions 54a and 54b is such that the upper portion of the coin is exposed when the coin is raised. Further, the coin holding portion 55 has a width that can accommodate a plurality of coins. The front rack 21 having such a shape is integrally injection-molded with a resin or the like using a mold.

As described above, in the front rack structure 30 of the present embodiment, by inserting a coin in advance by the coin holding portion 55 formed between the parallel rib portions 54a and 54b, the rider can immediately insert the coin when necessary. Since it can take out, the convenience of the accommodating part 22 can be improved.
Further, the parallel rib portions 54 a and 54 b forming the coin holding portion 55 of the present embodiment are integrated with the front rack 21 and extend toward the leg shield cover 20. Accordingly, the parallel rib portions 54a and 54b can be formed by a relatively simple process of simply cutting the mold for forming the front rack 21 in the engraving direction.

Further, the parallel rib portions 54 a and 54 b forming the coin holding portion 55 are formed only on the front rack 21 and are not formed on the leg shield cover 20. Therefore, even when the optional front rack 21 is removed and the front rack structure 30 is not provided, the leg shield cover 20 is not formed with the parallel rib portions 54a and 54b. The appearance of the cover 20 is not impaired.
Further, the parallel rib portions 54 a and 54 b forming the coin holding portion 55 are extended toward the raised portion 43 of the leg shield cover 20. Accordingly, the coin holding portion 55 is formed at the rear in the accommodating portion 22. In this case, since the coin holding portion 55 is formed at a position closer to the rider when the rider is seated on the seating seat 18, that is, near the hand, the coin can be easily taken out, and the convenience of the storage portion 22 is further improved. Can do.

Further, the parallel rib portions 54 a and 54 b forming the coin holding portion 55 are formed on the left side from the support portion 52 provided at the center portion in the left-right direction of the inner surface of the front rack 21. Therefore, the parallel rib portions 54a and 54b do not hinder the positioning function of the leg shield cover 20 of the support portion 52, and the left hand of the rider corresponds to the left side on which the coin holding portion 55 is formed. It becomes easy to take out coins.
Further, by forming the rib portions 54a and 54b parallel to the front rack 21, the rigidity of the front rack 21 itself can be increased.

In the present embodiment, the rib portions 54a and 54b have been described only in the case where they are formed at positions spaced leftward from the support portion 52. However, the present invention is not limited to this case, and may be on the right side. Furthermore, as long as the function of the support part 52 can be substituted, the support part 52 may be provided in the central part in the left-right direction.
Further, two or more parallel rib portions 54a and 54b may be provided to form a plurality of coin holding portions 55 so that they can be held for each type of coin.
Moreover, although the coin holding | maintenance part 55 of this embodiment picked up and demonstrated the scooter type motorcycle, it is not restricted to this case. For example, it can be applied to other vehicles having leg shields such as an electric wheelchair.
