Thus, the helmet housing box 22 is set to have a size, which just about enough without no space for a finger when the helmet 23 is inserted, and the rear body 7 is miniaturized and made slim.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a helmet storage device for a scooter that uses a seat that can be opened and closed as a lid.

(Prior Art) Some scooters include a helmet storage box provided in a V-body and covered with a seat that can be opened and closed as a lid. An example thereof is shown in FIG.

The scooter has a front wheel 1 that is steered by a handlebar 3 and a rear wheel 2 that is driven by an engine 4, arranged in the front and rear. A V-body 7 with a relatively large volume is formed below the sheet 5.

The frame is constructed with a pipe or the like to have the required strength and shape, and in this case, a front frame 9 that supports the head vibe 8 extends along the indented part to the center, and a pair of rear frames 10 extend rearward and upward from the rear end. It will be constructed over the following years.

Reference numeral 11 indicates a front fork, and 12 indicates a front cushion unit.

The engine 4 is generally of a unit swing type, with a swing case 1 extending rearward from one side of the crankcase.
The rear wheel 2 is pivotally supported on the rear part of the front frame 9, and the front part is pivotally supported on the rear end of the front frame 9 on a pivot 14, and is interposed between the rear part and the rear frame 10. It is buffered and suspended by a cushion unit 15. 16 is a carburetor, and 17 is an air cleaner.

The rear fender 18 is fixed to the rear frame 10, and a fuel tank 19 and an oil tank (not shown) are placed in the rear body rear part 7a of the upper surface of the rear fender 18, and an inlet 198 is exposed from the rear body rear part 7a. coated. The seat 5 is pivoted to the front end of the inner upper surface of the rear body by the seat 1 to the support shaft 20 and can be opened and closed, and an opening 21 on the inner upper surface of the rear body is covered by a seat lock device (not shown).

There is a helmet storage box 22 in the front half of the rear body.
will be provided.

In this way, the helmet 1- is stored in the helmet storage box 22.
23 and put it on in seat 5, but since the helmet 23 is rough and difficult to slip, it is difficult to put the helmet in and take it out unless you make the storage box large enough to insert your hands, which would require making the rear body larger. As a result, on the one hand, there was a problem in that it contradicted the requirement for a smaller rear body.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, in conventional scooter helmet storage devices, if the helmet storage box does not have sufficient space, it is difficult to put in and take out the helmet. In view of this problem, the present invention provides a helmet storage device for a scooter that makes it easy to put in and take out a helmet without having to put hands into the helmet storage box, and that allows the helmet storage box and rear body to be miniaturized to a minimum. The purpose is to

[Structure of the invention]

(Means for Solving the Problems) In accordance with the above object, the helmet storage device for a scooter of the present invention includes a helmet storage box provided in the rear body, and a seat that can be opened and closed, the front end of which is pivotally supported, on the open upper surface of the helmet storage box. The scooter is equipped with a helmet support that is coaxially supported with the seat support shaft so that it can move in and out of the storage box, and a spring is loaded between the seat and the helmet support. The structure was designed to bring the two ministries closer together.

(Function) With this structure, when the seat is opened wide, the force of the spring will pull up the seat and hold the helmet.
floats above the helmet storage box. The rider can then grab the helmet with both hands and easily pick it up. When the helmet is removed, its weight disappears, and the force of the spring causes the helmet seat to swing further and come into contact with the seat bottom plate.

When storing the helmet, listen to the seat, lower the helmet catch slightly, place the helmet on it, and then close the seat to easily store it.

If a detachable locking device is provided between the helmet receiving seat and the helmet storage box, the helmet will not float up every time the seat is opened, making it convenient to refuel or take out stored items other than the helmet.

In this case, the fact remains that by removing the locking device, the helmet floats up to make it easier to take out.

In this way, the helmet storage box can be set to a size that leaves no space for fingers to fit inside the helmet, allowing the rear body to be made smaller and slimmer.

(Example) DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The drawings showing embodiments of the present invention will be explained below.

A helmet storage box 22 is installed in the compact rear body part, and the configuration in which a seat 5 whose front end can be opened and closed by a seat support @ 20 and covers an opening 21 is the same as the conventional one.

A helmet seat 24 that is in contact with the helmet storage box 22 from its front surface to its bottom surface 22a is pivotably supported coaxially with the seat support shaft 20. Helmet catch seat 2
4, as shown in FIG. 2, the helmet 23 is held horizontally.
The support arm 25 extends upward, and a shaft hole 26 for the seat support shaft 20 is formed at the upper end.
