  However, such a conventional front light structure for a motorcycle has a headlight disposed separately from the blinker light. Even in vehicles of the kind where the blinker lights are arranged in the front cover and have a design close to the headlights, the design is bulky if both lights are arranged adjacent to each other looks like. In the case of the novel design, such as the unobtrusive and seemingly layered structure created by the blinker lights, it has ridges extending in a plan view wider than the ridges of the headlights.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned situation, and its object is to be sporty and compact formed by a headlight and a blinker light even if they are disposed adjacent to each other, etc. It is an object of the present invention to provide a front light structure for a motorcycle which can provide a novel design of the vehicle.

  The invention of claim 1 is a front light structure for a motorcycle including a front cover that covers a front portion of the motorcycle. The headlights are attached to the front cover. A pair of blinker lights are mounted on top of the headlights. The blinker light is attached to be superimposed on the headlight, and the ridgeline of the blinker light is formed to extend wider than the ridgeline of the headlight in a plan view of the motorcycle.

  The invention according to claim 2 is the front light structure for a motorcycle according to claim 1, wherein the blinker light has a pair of overhanging portions, and the pair of overhanging portions is a blinker light and a head at an upper portion of the headlight. It is formed by the difference in the degree of the ridgeline of the light.

  The invention according to claim 3 is the front light structure for a motorcycle according to claim 2, wherein the headlight comprises a position light and a pair of reflectors mounted on the top of the headlight, and the pair of reflectors comprises Located below the position of the overhang.

  The invention according to claim 4 is the front light structure for a motorcycle according to claim 3, wherein a pair of winker lights is provided with shielding ribs for preventing light leakage from the position light on both sides of the reflector. It is formed extending along the part.

  The invention according to claim 5 is the front light structure for a motorcycle according to claim 4, wherein the position light is located at the center of the motorcycle inside the headlight in a front view and covered by the front cover. ing.

  The invention according to claim 6 is the front light structure for a motorcycle according to claim 3, wherein the pair of blinker lights have a projecting shape connected to the overhanging portion, and they project downward in a hook shape, and are automatic A projecting shape is formed to cover an upper corner portion of the headlight in a front view of the two-wheeled vehicle.

  According to the invention of claim 1, the headlights are attached to the front cover, the pair of blinker lights are attached to the top of the headlights, and the blinker lights are attached to overlap on the headlights. The ridge line of the blinker light is formed to extend wider than the ridge line of the headlight in plan view of the motorcycle. This enables a novel design formed by the blinker light having a ridge formed to extend wider than the ridge of the headlight.

  In other words, although the appearance of the overall structure looks compact (the surfaces are separated), this differs in the degree of ridgelines, so that a layer structure is formed between the blinker light and the headlights, the blinker light and the head The reason is that although the lights and the lights are arranged adjacent to each other, the layer structure does not look like a large and bulky structure.

  According to the invention of claim 2, the blinker light has a pair of overhanging portions, and the pair of overhanging portions is formed by the difference in the degree of the ridgelines of the blinker light and the headlight at the top of the headlight. In fact, this layer structure results in darker shadow areas below this layer. This results in a new design image that looks like an attractive structure, a dark shadowed area with shadows.

  According to the invention of claim 3, the headlight includes the position light attached to the upper portion of the headlight and the pair of reflectors, and the pair of reflectors is positioned below the position of the projecting portion, so the position of the reflector is determined. The lighting of the light becomes brighter and can be seen more clearly. This is because the reflector is located in a dark and shaded area, which is below the location of the degree of difference between the blinker light and the headlight.

  According to the invention of claim 4, in the pair of blinker lights, shielding ribs for preventing light leakage from the position light are formed extending along both sides of the reflector. Since both the headlight and the blinker light are disposed without any covering means, there is a high possibility that the light may easily leak. Shielding ribs, which extend along the sides of the reflector where the position lamp illuminates, further provide a cover means for preventing the light from the position light from leaking, thus reducing the number of parts.

  According to the invention of claim 5, since the position light is located inside the headlight at the center of the motorcycle and covered by the front cover in front view, the position light efficiently illuminates the left and right sides with the position light. In addition, the position light can not be seen directly when the motorcycle is viewed from the front.

  According to the invention of claim 6, the pair of blinker lights have a projecting shape to be connected to the projecting portion, and project downward in a hook shape to cover the upper corner portion of the headlight in a front view of the motorcycle. A protruding shape is formed. Since the projecting shape is connected to the overhang having a space in front of the headlight, the design of the projecting shape is easy. Therefore, this becomes a design that combines the overhanging portion and the hook shape, resulting in a dignified and unique viewpoint design. In addition, the hook shape makes the blinker light appear to restrain the headlights and looks like an integral part.

Fix in position. 9 and 10, in the headlight 5, a socket S2 is formed at the lower center of the case H2, and the headlight bulb B2 is attached to the socket S2. The light of the headlight bulb B2 passes through a lens G2 (see FIGS. 10 to 12) formed on the front side of the case H2 and is emitted to the front of the vehicle. As shown in FIGS. 2, 6a and 11, the upper part of the case H2 is divided into two sessions, which are the left reflector BL and the right reflector BR, and the position light B3 attached to the socket S3 is used for these sessions. It is formed in the middle part between. This position light B3 can illuminate the left and right reflectors BL, BR and looks as if there were two light sources in the position light. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, a partition H2c is formed in the case H2 of the headlight 5, and this partition is connected to the lens G2 between the headlight bulb B2 and the position light B3. It extends forward. The head light bulb B2 and the position light B3 can be separated by the partition portion H2c, and the illumination from the head light bulb B2 can not be seen by the position light B3.

  The blinker lights 4 are separately provided on the left and right, and are separately mounted on the top of the headlight 5 and can be selectively blinked by operation of a blinker light switch (not shown) by the driver. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, the blinker light 4 has a socket S1 formed at the center of each of the left and right cases H1, and the blinker valve B1 is attached to each socket S1. The light of the blinker valve B1 passes through a lens G1 (see FIGS. 11 to 13) formed on the front side of the case H1 and is emitted to the front of the vehicle. In particular, FIGS. 11 and 12 show that the illumination of the position light B3 reflected in the direction that illuminates the undesired direction is blocked by the back surface of the case H1 of the blinker light 4 and the shielding rib 4c extending along the left and right reflectors BL and BR. It is a figure which shows a mode that it is. In other words, only the light as shown in FIG. 12 can pass through the lens G2 through the correct direction, as reflected by the left and right reflectors BL and BR. According to this arrangement of the front light structure, the illumination of the position light B3 is only visible in certain areas.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the blinker light 4 is attached to overlap on the top of the headlight 5 in the overlapping area A, and has an extension 4b extending forward and downward so as to cover at least both sides of the position light B3. . That is, light leakage in the above-described undesirable direction can be prevented behind the extension 4b. Corresponding to this, as shown in FIG. 5, a ridgeline L1 is formed by the blinker light, and this ridgeline is wider than the ridgeline L2 at the top of the headlight 5 and extends outside thereof to form an overhang portion 4e. belongs to. Thus, although the entire structure looks compact due to the overhanging portion 4e, a layer structure is formed between the blinker light and the headlight by the difference in the degree of ridge line depending on the overhanging portion 4e The light structure looks like a new and attractive design to the customer. Furthermore, a dark shadowed area is formed by the difference in the degree of the ridgeline of the blinker light 4 which is wider than the headlight 5 and extends outward.

  Accordingly, the position light B3 is located at the upper part of the headlight 5, but at a lower position than the overhanging portion 4e and becomes a dark or shadow area. This makes the illumination of the position light B3 with the left and right reflectors BL and BR brighter and more clearly visible. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 6 (a, b), and FIG. 10 and FIG. 14, in the blinker light 4 according to the present embodiment, a pair of projecting shapes 4d connected to the overhanging portion 4e are formed. With respect to the space of the overhanging portion 4e which is wider than the ridge line L2 of the headlight 5 and extends outward, the pair of projecting portions 4d has a sufficient space and is easily designed. Specifically, the pair of protrusions 4d is designed as a hook shape extending downward at the upper corner 5a of the headlight. The hook shapes of the pair of projecting shapes 4 d appear to bind both upper corner portions 5 a of the headlight 5 so that an image of an integral design of the front light structure is obtained. As shown in FIGS. 6 (a, b) and FIG. 7, the blinker light 4 includes shielding ribs 4c extending along the left and right reflectors BL and BR of the case H2. As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 6 (a) and FIG. 11, according to this shielding rib 4c, the light of the position light B3 should not leak in the undesirable direction as defined in FIG. Can. Depending on the country, it may be required to provide a license plate Li at the front of the motorcycle. In such a country, the license plate Li may be provided at a position as shown in FIG.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8, the extension 4b of the blinker light 4 according to the present embodiment has an overlapping area A on the top of the headlight 5, and as shown in FIG. A gap C is formed between the blinker light 4 and the headlight 5. As described above, the overlapping area A is an area for optimizing the characteristics of the lighting device without using the cover structure. Therefore, the gap C between the blinker light 4 and the headlight 5 is to prevent the lights from interfering or breaking due to the vibration at the time of riding.

  Specifically, as shown in detail in FIGS. 3 to 5, the pair of side ends 4a of the blinker light 4 are headlights of the left and right ends (FIG. 6A) of the headlight 5 in a front view of the vehicle. It is located in the part extended rightward and leftward beyond the upper part of the left and right corner part 5a of the upper corner part 5a. As a result, the ridgeline L3 of the blinker light 4 appears to extend more in the lateral direction, and an attractive image is obtained. On the other hand, the headlight 5 can be kept compact in its dimensional structure without being affected by the extension of the blinker light 4. The ridgelines L1, L3 and L2 include the edge boundaries of the lenses G1 and G2 constituting the blinker light 4 and the headlight 5, respectively. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the ridgeline L1 of the blinker light 4 according to the present embodiment starts from the extension 4a and branches in two directions of the ridgeline L3 on the side end 4a of the blinker light 4 The ridgeline L3 extends to the side of the vehicle from the portion of the front cover 2 where the forked end of the is located. The ridgeline L4 includes the edge boundary of the front cover 2. By the corresponding design between the ridge line L3 of the winker light 4 and the ridge line L4 of the front cover 2, the appearance of the blinker light 4 looks wide and smooth according to the design of the front cover 2, and it is sharp in appearance The sporty dignified design is strengthened.

  According to the present embodiment, the headlights 5 are attached to the front cover 2, the pair of blinker lights 4 are attached to the top of the headlights 5, and the blinker lights 4 are attached to overlap the headlights 5. The ridgeline L1 of the blinker light 4 is formed to extend wider than the ridgeline L2 of the headlight 5 in plan view of the motorcycle. This enables a novel design created by the blinker light 4 having a ridgeline L1 formed to extend wider than the ridgeline L2 of the headlight 5.

  In other words, although the appearance of the overall structure appears compact (the surfaces are separated), this is due to the different degree of ridgelines, forming a layered structure between the blinker light 4 and the headlight 5, Although the blinker lights 4 and the headlights 5 are disposed adjacent to each other, the layer structure does not look like a large and bulky structure.

  The blinker light 4 has a pair of overhangs 4 e which are formed at the top of the headlight 5 by the difference in degree between the ridgeline L 1 of the blinker light 4 and the headlight 5. In fact, this layer structure results in darker shadow areas below this layer. This results in a new design image that looks like an attractive structure, a dark shadowed area with shadows.

  Furthermore, the headlight 5 includes a position light B3 attached to the upper part of the headlight 5 and a pair of reflectors (BR, BL), and the pair of reflectors (BR, BL) is located below the position of the overhang portion 4e. Being positioned, the illumination of the position light B3 becomes brighter and more clearly visible in the reflectors (BR, BL). This is because the reflectors (BR, BL) are located in the dark or shadowed area, which is below the point of the degree of difference between the blinker light 4 and the headlight 5. Further, shielding ribs 4c extending along both sides of the reflectors (BR, BL) are formed in the pair of blinker lights 4 in order to prevent light leakage from the position light B3. Since both the headlights 5 and the blinker lights 4 are disposed without any covering means, there is a high possibility that the light may easily leak. Shielding ribs 4c extending along both sides of the reflector (BR, BL) illuminated by the position light further provide cover means for preventing leakage of light from the position light, thus reducing the number of parts. It becomes.

  In addition, since the position light B3 is located inside the headlight 5 at the center of the motorcycle and covered by the front cover 2 in front view, it is possible to efficiently illuminate the left and right sides with the position light B3. In addition, the position light B3 can not be seen directly when the motorcycle is viewed from the front. Furthermore, the pair of blinker lights 4 is formed with a projecting shape to be connected to the overhanging portion 4e, and protrudes downward in a hook shape, and the upper corner portion of the headlight 5 in a front view of the motorcycle It is for covering. Since the projecting shape is connected to the overhanging portion 4 e having a space in front of the headlight 5, the design of the projecting shape is easy. Accordingly, this makes the design in combination with the overhang portion 4e and the hook shape, and has a dignified design with a unique viewpoint. Furthermore, the hook shape makes the blinker light 4 appear to be restraining the headlight 5 and looks like an integral part.

Although the present embodiment has been described, the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment. The present invention is a motorcycle having a blinker light 4 attached so as to overlap the headlight 5, and the ridgeline L1 of the blinker light 4 is formed to extend wider than the ridgeline L2 of the headlight 5 in plan view of the motorcycle.
