Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent lighting of a lamp due to misoperation, in a condition that a seat is closed, by arranging an actuator member of an opening and closing switch, which performs as on-off control of the illuminating lamp, behind a key hole provided for releasing a sheet lock. CONSTITUTION:For releasing a seat lock, when a key 23 is inserted into a key hole 24, a shutter plate 26 swivels turning, depressing an actuator arm 28 closing a contact 30 of a microswitch 27. The key 23 is turned releasing the seat lock, when a seat is opened, an illuminating lamp 10 of a packet box is turned on. When illuminating is necessary, the lamp is left as continuing the lighting, and when the illumination is unnecessary, the lamp is turned off by removing the key 23. In this way, preventing the lamp from being turned on by forgetting closing the seat and so on, waste electrification of a battery can be collectively prevented.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a lighting device for a scooter storage box using an openable and closable sheet as a lid.

(Prior Art) As shown in FIG. 2, a scooter has a front wheel 1 steered by a handlebar 3 and a rear wheel 2 driven by an engine 4 arranged in the front and rear, and a seat 5 arranged at the upper rear part. A step board 6 is placed with a low indentation between the handle 3 and the handle 3, and a voluminous body cover 7 is placed below the seat 5.
It has a shape covered with

A storage box 8 is formed inside the body cover 7 to store a helmet 9 and the like, and the seat 5 has a lid that can be opened and closed. This storage box 8 is equipped with an illumination lamp 10 for illumination at night and the like.

This illumination lamp 10 is often designed to turn on when the sheet 5 is opened. In other words, as shown in FIG.
m 1M is freely pivoted, and a switch knob 15 of a switch 14 is provided on the front edge 11 so as to protrude upward. When the seat 5 is in position 1, the bottom plate 12 pushes down the switch knob 15 and closes the contact 1 inserted in the N source circuit 16.
7 is opened and the illumination lamp 10 is turned off. When the seat 5 is opened, the switch knob 15 is released and raised by the force of the spring 18, closing the contact 17 and lighting the illumination lamp 10.

Further, reference numeral 19 denotes a seat lock hook linked to the cylinder lock 22, which engages with a lock fitting 20 protruding from the lower surface of the seat bottom plate 12, as shown in FIG. 4, to lock the seat 5 in the closed position. This hook 19 is always urged to the lock position by a spring (not shown), and performs a locking operation by pinching the seat 5. To unlock the lock, insert a predetermined key into the key hole 21 and turn the cylinder lock 22 to swing the hook 19 and release the engagement with the lock fitting 20.

However, as described above, the opening Im operation of the seat 5 causes the illumination lamp 10 to blink a+11 til! In some cases, the switch may not open reliably due to dimensional tolerances in the relative position of the switch 14, switch knob 15, or seat bottom plate 12, or looseness of the seat lock.
0 may be left on, causing the battery to discharge and causing problems such as the starter motor not operating at the next start. Furthermore, even if the seat 5 is opened during the day, there is a problem in that the lights remain on unnecessarily.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, in the case where the blinking of the lighting lamp is controlled by the IFtl fil operation of the seat, the lighting lamp may be left on, and even when the lighting between U is not required. In view of this problem, the present invention provides a system in which a lighting lamp is automatically turned on in connection with the action of opening the seat, and can be selectively turned off while listening to the seat. It is an object of the present invention to provide a lighting device for a scooter storage box that can prevent lighting due to error movement in a state where the vehicle is in a closed state.

[Structure of the invention]

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the illumination device for a scooter storage box of the present invention provides an indoor storage space in which a freely openable seat equipped with a seat lock that is released by a key is placed inside a storage box that functions as a lid. In addition to installing a lighting lamp, an operating member for an open/close switch that controls the flashing of the lighting lamp is placed behind the keyhole provided for releasing the seat lock, and while the key is inserted into the keyhole, The configuration is such that the m switch is engaged.

(Function) With this structure, when opening the seat, the key is inserted into the unlock key hole as an operation, and the user can turn the key to unlock the seat and listen to the seat. Sometimes the lighting lamps are on.

If you don't need the light during the day, just remove the key and the light will turn off. When you need it, just insert the key and leave the light on, and you can choose to turn it on or off after opening the seat.

When the seat is moved from the previous seat, the seat lock is activated regardless of whether or not a key is pressed. At this time, the inserted key must be removed, so the lighting lamp will definitely go out.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a switch showing an embodiment of the present invention.

This switch causes the illumination lamp 1o placed in the storage box 8 of the scooter shown in FIG.
It is used as a part of l and sheet rock.

The seat rock is attached to the seat bottom plate 12 as shown in FIG.
The lock fitting 2o extends downward from the lock fitting 2o, and the hook 19 on the vehicle body side is engaged with the lock fitting 2o.The hook 19 is connected to a cylinder lock 22 and is always urged to the locking position by a spring. To unlock the seat lock, insert the key 23 into the key hole 21 of the cylinder lock 22, turn it, swing the hook 19, and remove the lock fitting 2o.

This cylinder lock 22 is attached to the switch housing 25, which has a key hole 24 on the front side. The key 23 is inserted into the key hole 21 of the cylinder lock 22 through the key hole 24.

Further, a swingable shutter plate 26 is disposed behind the key hole 24 in the switch housing 25, and is normally biased to close the key hole 24. On the other hand, a microswitch 27 is connected to the switch housing 25 , and the tip of an operating arm 28 of the microswitch 27 enters into the switch housing 25 to abut against a shutter plate 26 .

The microswitch 27 is inserted into the power supply circuit 18 of the lighting lamp 10 connected to the battery 29, and
Controls blinking. Under normal conditions, the contact 30 is open and the illumination lamp 10 is off.

As mentioned above, when the key 23 is inserted into the key hole 24 to release the seat lock, the shutter plate 26 swings and
The actuating arm 28 is pushed down to close the contacts 30 of the microswitch 27. When the key 23 is turned to release the seat lock and the seat 5 is opened, the illumination lamp 10 of the storage box 8 is lit.

If the lighting is necessary, it will continue to be lit, and if it is not needed, it will be turned off by removing the key 23. After listening to C I, the key 23 becomes irrelevant, so the flashing of the illumination lamp 10 is selected by inserting and removing the key.

When parking the vehicle and leaving the vehicle, or when driving to refill the vehicle, the inserted key is used, so that the illumination lamp 10 is surely turned off. If you forget to insert the seat II, or if the seat lock is not working properly, the seat lock will fail! Since the illumination lamp 10 does not light up even when - is floating, there is no wasteful consumption of the battery 29.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the illumination device for a scooter storage box according to the present invention includes an indoor illumination lamp installed in the storage box in which a seat that can be opened and closed and equipped with a key-released seat functions as a lid, as well as a seat lock. The operating member of the open/close switch that controls the blinking of the lighting lamp is placed behind the keyhole provided for release, and the switch remains closed while the key is inserted into the keyhole. The storage box is always illuminated when the seat is opened, and then the flashing can be controlled selectively using the key, so there is no need to turn on the light due to forgetting to close the seat, etc., and overall prevents unnecessary discharge of the battery. There is an effect that can be done.
