Description

The present invention relates to a saddle-mounted vehicle equipped with a helmet holder.

Some saddle-mounted vehicles such as motorcycles have a dedicated locking device that locks the helmets of drivers and occupants other than the driver when traveling in tandem by connecting them to the vehicle body. When the helmet is not in use, the helmet can be prevented from being stolen by connecting the helmet to a locking device and locking it. However, the dedicated locking device has a complicated structure and is expensive.

In addition, some saddle-mounted vehicles are provided with a hook under the seat for hooking a metal fitting attached to the chin strap of a helmet. When connecting the helmet to the car body, the seat locked to the car body was unlocked, the seat was removed from the car body, the metal fittings of the helmet's chin strap were hooked on the hook, and then the seat was attached to the car body and locked. Put it in a state. As a result, the helmet cannot normally be separated from the vehicle body unless the seat is unlocked and the seat is removed from the vehicle body.

However, a gap is often formed between the seat and the vehicle body. It is conceivable that a person who tries to steal the helmet inserts his hand through this gap and removes the metal fitting of the helmet's chin strap from the hook. Further, in some saddle-mounted vehicle seats, the lateral edge portion of the bottom plate of the seat is curved downward to close the gap between the seat and the vehicle body. However, this bottom plate is made of a resin material and is not so strong. It is conceivable that a person who tries to steal a helmet forcibly bends the horizontal edge of the bottom plate to create a gap, inserts a hand through the gap, and removes the metal fitting of the helmet's chin strap from the hook.

In this regard, the vehicle helmet holder described in Patent Document 1 below is provided with a helmet hook on the rear body frame in a vehicle provided with a driver's seat that can be opened and closed and locked above the rear body frame. A cushioning material is provided on the bottom of the seat under the driving seat, and the cushioning material comes into contact with the top of the helmet hook when the driving seat is closed. According to this configuration, when the driver's seat is closed, the cushion material comes into contact with the top of the helmet hook, so that there is no gap between the seat bottom and the helmet hook, and the helmet metal fittings are removed. Will be difficult.

The saddle-mounted vehicle of the embodiment of the present invention includes a seat rail, a seat, a rear cowl, a grab bar, and a helmet holder. The seat is located above the seat rails. The rear cowl is arranged so as to cover both the left and right sides of the seat rail. Grab bars are located on the left and right sides of the seat. Further, the grab bar has a grip portion to be gripped by an occupant seated on the seat. The helmet holder has a function of hooking the chin strap of the helmet or the metal fitting attached to the chin strap in order to fasten the helmet to the saddle-mounted vehicle. The structure of the helmet holder itself is not particularly limited as long as it is a structure that can hook a chin strap or metal fittings. Further, the helmet holder is above the seat rail, below the seat, on the center side of the saddle-mounted vehicle in the left-right direction from the lateral edge portion of the seat, and behind the front end portion of the grip portion. And, it is arranged at a position in front of the rear end portion of the grip portion. Further, at the position where the helmet holder is arranged in the front-rear direction of the saddle-mounted vehicle, the upper end portion of the grip portion is arranged at a position higher than the lower end portion of the horizontal edge portion of the seat.

The helmet holder is located above the seat rail, below the seat, and at a position on the left-right center side of the saddle-mounted vehicle from the lateral edge of the seat. Therefore, when the seat is attached to the vehicle body, the helmet holder is hidden between the seat and the vehicle body, and is substantially located inside the vehicle body.

Further, the helmet holder is arranged behind the front end of the grip bar and in front of the rear end of the grip, and in addition, the helmet holder is arranged in the front-rear direction of the saddle-mounted vehicle. At this position, the upper end of the grip is located higher than the lower end of the lateral edge of the seat. As a result, at the position where the helmet holder is arranged in the front-rear direction of the saddle-mounted vehicle, the lateral edge portion of the seat is covered with the grip portion of the grab bar. Since the gap between the side surface of the seat and the grip portion is small, it is difficult for a person to insert a hand between the side surface of the seat and the grip portion. Even if a hand can be inserted into the gap, it is extremely difficult to put a finger on the lateral edge of the sheet and bend the lateral edge outward. That is, even if a finger is put on the horizontal edge portion of the sheet to bend the horizontal edge portion outward, the grip portion cannot be touched and the horizontal edge portion cannot be moved outward. Therefore, it is almost impossible to forcibly bend the horizontal edge of the seat to create a gap between the seat and the vehicle body, and it is not possible to insert your hand through the gap and remove the metal fittings of the helmet's chin strap from the helmet holder. It's almost impossible. Therefore, it is virtually impossible to remove the metal fittings of the helmet strap from the helmet holder unless the seat is removed from the vehicle body.

As described above, according to the saddle-mounted vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention, the metal fitting of the helmet strap (or the strap when the helmet strap is directly hooked on the helmet holder) is illegally removed from the helmet holder. It can be difficult to remove and prevent the helmet from being stolen.

Further, in the saddle-mounted vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention, for example, a rod-shaped member is provided as a helmet holder between the seat and the vehicle body, and the seat, the grip portion of the grab bar, and the helmet holder are arranged as described above. The simple structure such as setting can prevent the theft of the helmet. Further, since it is not necessary to arrange the cushion material for supporting the seat on the vehicle body and the helmet holder so as to face each other in the vertical direction, the degree of freedom in designing the saddle-mounted vehicle can be increased.
