JP6230977B2 - Mesh member for basket - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a basket mesh member used for a basket of a motorcycle such as a bicycle or a motorcycle.

  2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 of Patent Document 1, a net-like basket formed entirely of a metal net is applied to a conventional motorcycle basket as shown in FIGS. .

  In a basket formed of a wire mesh disclosed in Patent Document 1, a large number of metal wires constituting the mesh protrude from the end portions of the side surface and the bottom surface. Measures such as disposing a frame material are taken, and processing work is required.

  Therefore, a basket has been developed in which a frame member made of a vertical wire and a horizontal wire, and a mesh member made of a punching metal are disposed only on a part of the side surface and the bottom surface.

  With regard to the mesh member for basket, conventionally, a metal plate (commercially available material) having holes is purchased by a basket manufacturer and cut into a predetermined shape to process the mesh member.

  When a mesh member is manufactured by cutting a commercially available perforated metal plate in this way, the holes are cut in the middle to form burrs, and the number of man-hours increases due to the need to remove the burrs. Further, when the burrs are removed with a file or the like, the metal plate may be damaged.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-35665

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a basket mesh member that does not require time-consuming end processing and is excellent in appearance design.

  In order to achieve the above object, a basket mesh member according to the present invention is a basket mesh member formed of a metal plate, wherein a plurality of holes are formed in the metal plate, and the plurality of holes are formed of the metal plate. It exists at a position away from the edge.

  The basket mesh member of the present invention is a member in which a plurality of holes are opened at positions distant from the edge of the metal plate, so that a problem that a burr that needs to be removed occurs at the end of the metal plate cannot occur. It is.

  The mesh member for the basket includes a mesh member for the side mesh material that forms the basket of the motorcycle and a mesh member for the bottom mesh material that forms the bottom surface. Both mesh members have a plurality of holes made of a metal plate. It exists at a position away from the edge.

  In the side mesh material, a mesh member made of a single metal plate is bent at one or more bent portions (for example, four bent portions), and processed into a cylindrical shape having a substantially rectangular cross section. A bottom mesh material is disposed in one of the openings, and both are assembled to form a motorcycle basket.

  Here, “two-wheeled vehicle” means a bicycle, a motorcycle, or the like.

  Since a plurality of holes are opened at positions away from the edge of the metal plate, in other words, a gap with a predetermined width exists between the edge and the plurality of holes. It can be a gap provided for end processing.

  This “end processing” means that the end of the metal plate is bent to form a smooth end. By such end processing, it is possible to prevent dangers such as a load being caught on the edge of the metal plate or a passenger being injured by the edge.

  Further, when the metal plate is bent at one or more bent portions to form a three-dimensional shape, the plurality of holes are arranged with a common regularity on all side surfaces constituting the three-dimensional shape. Form is preferred.

  As described above, the side mesh member is formed into a three-dimensional shape such as a cylindrical shape having a rectangular cross section by bending one metal plate at one or more bent portions.

  When a metal plate is bent in this way to form a three-dimensional shape, the side mesh material in which each side surface is set up vertically is rather rare. In a motorcycle basket, the front and back surfaces (passenger side surfaces) The right and left side surfaces are tapered surfaces with rising angles inclined, and the rising angles may be different on the entire surface, the back surface, and the left and right side surfaces.

  Therefore, at the stage of one flat metal plate before bending, the metal plate is bent, for example, at a position corresponding to the bent portion.

  In this way, the appearance and design characteristics of the side mesh material composed of a plurality of side surfaces standing in a tapered shape in the three-dimensional shape are regularly arranged in both the general portion and the bent portion. An excellent basket.

  In the basket mesh member according to the present embodiment, the plurality of holes are regularly arranged on at least a part of the side surface of the three-dimensional basket composed of side surfaces standing in a tapered shape when bent in this manner. The arrangement of the plurality of holes is set so as to be arranged with

  Here, “regularity” refers to a row of predetermined-shaped holes (circular holes, diamond-shaped holes, star-shaped holes, etc.) arranged horizontally at predetermined intervals on the side surface of a three-dimensional basket. This means that holes are formed, and this row of holes are formed at intervals in the vertical direction of the side surface of the basket. More specifically, the regularity in which the positions of the holes in each row are aligned in the vertical direction, and the regularity in which the positions of the holes in each row are shifted in a staggered manner in the vertical direction can be exemplified. In addition, “at least on some side surfaces” means a form in which holes with regularity are formed on all side surfaces, or each side has holes with different regularity. Form, a form in which a hole having a common regularity is formed only on two or three side surfaces, and a hole having a regularity in only a part of the side surface instead of the entire side surface on each side surface The meaning includes the formed form and the like.

  Moreover, the said mesh member WHEREIN: The form in which the said hole is not arrange | positioned at the standing | starting side surface of the uneven | corrugated location which protruded or dented from the general part of this mesh member is preferable.

  Here, the “general part” means a flat part of the mesh member that has no dents or protrusions, and the “rising side face” means that the flat part is subjected to a press work or the like and has a slight height. It means the side surface that defines the height or depth when unevenness of depth or depth is formed, such as a form that rises vertically from a flat general part or a form that rises inclined is there. The holes formed in the basket mesh member have an effect of imparting appearance design to the basket, an effect of dropping rainwater downward, an effect of reducing the weight of the basket, and the like.

  The mesh member may be provided with uneven portions for the purpose of increasing its rigidity or forming a connection portion with another member. Among such irregularities, the rising side surface that rises in a vertical or tapered shape is an area that is invisible or difficult to see when viewed from the outside. Therefore, since it is not necessary to open a hole on the rising side from the design surface, a hole is provided only in the flat general portion, and no hole is provided on the rising side.

  The metal plate having the plurality of holes is preferably formed from a punching metal.

  A wire mesh member is applied to a conventional basket mesh member. However, if the mesh is not made fine, there is a risk of falling. Therefore, it is possible to give a sense of security that it is difficult for objects to fall by using a punching metal obtained by punching a hole in a metal plate. Further, the use of punching metal on the bottom of the basket increases the rigidity as compared with the wire mesh member, and is advantageous in that it is not easily deformed during luggage storage. In addition, the surface of the metal mesh mesh member has fine and sharp irregularities due to its manufacturing method, and it is necessary to process to crush the end, but if that process is insufficient, when the baggage is put in the basket There is a risk of rubbing the baggage. On the other hand, there is no such concern in the case of punching metal.

  Moreover, as another embodiment of the mesh member for baskets of the present invention, a form in which a logo of a manufacturer or product is stamped on the metal plate can be mentioned.

  In the conventional basket, a metal plate or the like (or decal) with a logo mark separate from the basket is externally attached to the basket. On the other hand, for example, by stamping a hole in a metal plate at the same time, the number of steps during production and the cost can be reduced, and a three-dimensional effect that cannot be expected with a flat decal etc. It is possible to form a basket with a logo that has a certain appearance design. Furthermore, it becomes possible to display the company name at the same time when processing holes in the basket while eliminating the need for separate parts such as decals, thereby improving the production efficiency.

  Here, “manufacturer or product logo mark” refers to the symbol mark, logo mark, symbol logo type, company name logo type of the motorcycle manufacturer, the product name of the motorcycle, the symbol mark and product name of these manufacturers. This means a combined mark.

  As can be understood from the above description, according to the basket mesh member of the present invention, in the basket mesh member formed from a metal plate and formed with a plurality of holes, the plurality of holes are formed from the edges of the metal plate. By being present at a distant position, it is possible to provide a basket mesh member that eliminates the need for time-consuming end processing and is excellent in appearance design.

It is the perspective view seen from. FIG. 10 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the structure of the joint portion between the side mesh material and the bottom mesh material, and FIG. 11 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the structure of the upper end portion of the side mesh material.

  The illustrated motorcycle basket 100 includes a plurality of vertical wires 20A and horizontal wires 20B, and includes a frame member 20 that forms a framework of the basket 100 having a side surface and a bottom surface, and a side mesh material 10A that forms at least a part of the side surface. And a mesh member 10 composed of a bottom mesh material 10B constituting the bottom surface.

  A part of the plurality of vertical wire members 20A constituting the frame member 20 is disposed inside the side mesh member 10A and extends below the bottom mesh member 10B through the insertion hole 1f of the bottom mesh member 10B. (See FIGS. 6 and 9). Further, among the vertical wire members 20A, the four vertical wire members 20A particularly on the back surface of the side mesh member 10A are arranged on the outer side (occupant side) of the side mesh member 10A and extend to the lower surface of the bottom mesh member 10B. (See FIGS. 6 and 9).

  As shown in FIG. 7, a part 20A ′ of the vertical wire extending to the lower surface of the bottom mesh material 10B extends linearly below the bottom mesh material 10B and projects below the bottom mesh material 10B. The mesh member 10 is supported in contact with the step pushing portions 1d and 1e.

  Here, as the form in which the bottom mesh material 10B and the vertical wire part 20A ′ are in contact with each other, in addition to the form in which both are in contact with each other from the beginning, when the luggage is accommodated in the basket 100 The form which both contact | abut is also included. In any form, when a load is stored in the basket 100, the stepped portions 1d and 1e of the bottom mesh material 10B and the vertical wire portion 20A ′ come into contact with each other, and the stepped portion of the bottom mesh material 10B By supporting a part 20A ′ of the vertical wire positioned below 1d and 1e, deformation of the bottom mesh material 10B due to the load of the load is suppressed.

  Further, since the stepped portion 1d is bolted to a support stay (not shown), an external force is applied to the bottom mesh material 10B when the bolt is connected. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9, by positioning a part 20A ′ of the four vertical wires 20A below the stepped portion 1d, the external force when tightening the nut is determined by the rigidity of the stepped portion 1d. It becomes possible to resist.

  Further, regarding the structure of the end portion of the bottom mesh material 10B (the end portion facing downward) and the joint portion of the end portion of the side mesh material 10A (the portion where both end portions are in contact with each other), FIG. , (B) show two embodiments. 10A, the end 10B ′ of the bottom mesh material 10B is bent and turned downward, and the lower end 10A ′ of the side mesh material 10A is also bent slightly. It is processed and turned downward, and is accommodated in a guard member 40 having a groove in a state where both end portions 10A ′ and 10B ′ are in contact with each other. The mesh member 10 is manufactured by caulking.

  As described above, the end portions 10A ′ and 10B ′ of the side mesh material 10A and the bottom mesh material 10B are accommodated in the grooves of the guard material 40 and are connected by caulking, so that the mesh members are directly connected to each other. It is possible to eliminate the processing of metal wires and burrs protruding from the end.

  Furthermore, by enclosing the side mesh material 10A and the bottom mesh material 10B with the guard material 40, the linear line at the end becomes clean and there is no overhang of a metal wire or the like, so that a gentle impression is given to the basket 100. The appearance design of the basket 100 can be improved. Furthermore, the edge of the bottom end portion of the basket 100 can be protected by the guard member 40, and the strength and appearance design of the bottom end portion can be improved.

  On the other hand, in the structure of the joint portion shown in FIG. 10B, the end portion 10B ′ of the bottom mesh material 10B is bent to form the guard material 40A, and the end portion 10A ′ of the side mesh material 10A is formed in the groove of the guard material 40A. And guarding the guard material 40A, the both ends are integrated.

  In the structure of the joint portion shown in FIG. 10 (b), it is not necessary to use a guard material manufactured separately as compared with the structure of the joint portion shown in FIG. 10 (a). In addition to the above-described effects of the structure of the joint portion indicated by (), it is possible to reduce the number of parts.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the upper end of the side mesh material 10A is bent at a bending line B shown in FIG. In addition to the problem that the load is caught at the upper end of the side mesh member 10A does not occur, a gentle impression can be given to the basket 100, and the appearance design of the basket 100 can be improved. The edge of the upper end of the side mesh material 10A can be protected by the bent end portion 10A ", and the strength and appearance design of the upper end can be improved.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a frame-shaped reinforcing wire 30 is disposed inside the guard member 40 below the bottom mesh member 10 </ b> B.

  By arranging the frame-shaped reinforcing wire 30 along the end portion contour of the bottom mesh material 10B, the reinforcing effect of the bottom mesh material 10B can be expected.

  Further, in the reinforcing wire 30, a portion corresponding to the insertion hole 1 f provided in the bottom mesh material 10 </ b> B is a relief portion 30 a formed by bending the reinforcing wire 30.

  Of the vertical wire 20A that faces the bottom mesh material 10B through the insertion hole 1f, a part of the vertical wire 20A stops at the portion that protrudes from the insertion hole 1f, and the end of the vertical wire 20A is reinforced. Welding is performed at the escape portion 30 a of the wire 30. On the other hand, the vertical wire 20A in which a part 20A 'extends linearly below the bottom mesh material 10B through the insertion hole 1f is also welded at a contact point with the escape portion 30a of the reinforcing wire 30. Note that the wire extending in the left-right direction in FIG. 7A below the bottom mesh material 10B is a wire 20A ″ different from the vertical wire 20A.

  Thus, since the reinforcing wire 30 includes the escape portion 30a, the vertical wire 20A extending from the insertion hole 1f to the lower side of the bottom mesh material 10B, or the vertical wire 20A and the reinforcing wire 30 whose ends stop at the insertion hole 1f. Interference can be avoided, and a welding space for both can be secured.

Here, the manufacturing method of the illustrated motorcycle basket 100 will be outlined.
First, the mesh member 10 in which the side mesh material 10A and the bottom mesh material 10B are assembled is prepared. The vertical wire 20A is disposed outside the back surface (occupant side) of the side mesh material 10A and welded, and the other vertical wire material 20A is disposed inside the side mesh material 10A, and the insertion hole 1f of the bottom mesh material 10B is provided. And the reinforcing wire 30 is welded below the bottom mesh member 10B.

  Next, frame-like horizontal wires 20B are arranged at predetermined intervals in the height direction so as to surround each vertical wire 20A, and predetermined portions are welded to form a frame member composed of the vertical wires 20A and the horizontal wires 20B. At the same time, the two-wheeled vehicle basket 100 including the frame member 20 and the mesh member 10 is manufactured.

  The illustrated motorcycle basket 100 includes the mesh member 10 and the frame member 20 formed of punching metal, so that the number of wires can be reduced as compared with a basket made of only wires. Further, since the mesh member 10 is disposed from the lower side of the basket side surface to the bottom surface as compared with the basket made only of wire rods, it is possible to give a sense of security that it is particularly difficult for luggage represented by small items to fall off.

  In addition, since the mesh member 10 is formed of punching metal, the mesh member 10 can be ensured in rigidity, and a basket having excellent load resistance can be obtained while providing good drainage through the holes 1b.

  Further, since the end processing of the mesh member 10 is not necessary, the number of manufacturing steps can be reduced, and the appearance of the end portion and the holes of the mesh member 10 are regularly arranged. In other words, the motorcycle basket 100 is excellent in appearance design.

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and there are design changes and the like without departing from the gist of the present invention. They are also included in the present invention.
