Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] This invention relates to an improvement of a motorcycle footrest on which a rider on a motorcycle rests his or her feet.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

In a motorcycle, a footrest is provided projecting from the left and right sides of the lower part of the vehicle body, and the rider places his or her feet on the footrest.
The footrest is required to be rigid because the rider may put his or her feet on it when driving, and the motorcycle may collide with the ground if the motorcycle rolls over. On the other hand, weight reduction is required to reduce vehicle weight, and it is necessary to satisfy both contradictory demands. Normally, footrests made of steel plates formed into a U-shape are used on motorcycles, commonly known as motocross vehicles, which are mainly driven on rough terrain. Run short.

[Purpose of invention]

In view of these points, the purpose of this invention is to obtain a footrest that is both rigid and lightweight and suitable for motorcycles used on rough terrain.

[Structure of the idea]

Embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described below.

A horizontal hole 2 is provided at the tip of a bracket 1 to be attached to the vehicle body. And the core body 3 made of steel pipe
Insert the base end into hole 2 and weld. The foot plate 4 is formed from a steel plate into a U-shape, and the foot plate 4 is welded to the core 3 and the bracket 1 with the base sides aligned with both sides of the core 3. A connecting plate 5 is welded to the end of the foot plate 4 away from the core 3. The upper surface side of the foot plate 4 is formed with corrugations 6 to prevent slipping.

[Effect]

The rider of the motorcycle rides the motorcycle by placing his or her feet on the foot plate 4. The foot plate 4 is the core body 3
The core body 3 is made of steel pipe and has high rigidity, and the proximal end is inserted into the hole 2 of the bracket 1 and welded to the bracket 1. Therefore, the load is absorbed by both the fitting of the hole 2 and the welded part. It is highly rigid and durable and can withstand shocks and shocks. Since the core body 3 is made of a steel pipe and is hollow, its weight can be reduced.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, this idea involves inserting and welding the base end of a steel pipe core into a hole provided in the bracket, and placing a U-shaped foot plate formed from a steel plate along the core. Since the foot plate is welded to the core body and bracket, the foot plate is welded to both the core body and the bracket, which are made of sufficiently strong steel pipes, and the base end of the core body, which is subjected to the most force, is inserted into the hole in the bracket and welded. Because of this, rigidity can be increased. Moreover, since the core body is inserted into the hole of the bracket and welded, the welding operation can be performed extremely easily. Also, since the core is made of steel pipe and is hollow, it can be light in weight.
