Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable both volmetric cargoes and articles which are to be carried while a horizontal attitude is being strictly observed, to be housed in by providing a partition plate for the housing box of a vehicle in such a way as to be freely moved between a service position which crosses the housing space horizontally so as to hold the place, and a shunting position which will never cross the space. CONSTITUTION:In a housing box provided underneath the seat of a motor scooter, a box main body 10 swells extensively at its front section in order to have a helmet housed in, and is provided with a bottom surface 10a extending roughly in the horizontal direction at its rear section. A partition plate 20 is pivotally supported by the main body 10 via a pivot 21, it can thereby be freely rocked between a service position which crosses horizontally the housing space of the main body 10 as indicated by a solid line so as to hold the place and a shunting position which holds the place along the bottom surface 10a as indicated a dashed line. A locking means 40 is composed of an open hole 22, a fastener 11 and a rubber band 30. When the partition plate 20 is in the shunting position, the box main body 10 can therefore house the helmet at its front section, and can also house cargoes on the partition plate 20 at its rear section. When the partition plate 20 is in the service position, articles can be rested thereon so as to be housed in, which are to be carried while a horizontal attitude is being strictly observed.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to an axle storage box.

(Prior Art) FIG. 7 shows an example of an axle equipped with a storage box. In this motorcycle (scooter) A, a storage box D is provided below a seat C in a body B. This storage box D has a shape that is largely sandwiched downward so that the helmet E can be stored therein.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

By the way, due to the positional relationship with other vehicle body components, the storage box D has only a small space with a horizontal bottom at the rear of the main space that accommodates the helmet E, and depending on the vehicle model, Some do not have a horizontal base. In this way, if the storage box has only a slight horizontal bottom surface, or if it has no horizontal bottom surface, it will not be possible to store items that must be transported strictly horizontally.
It was extremely inconvenient.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention aims to provide a storage box for a vehicle that can accommodate large-capacity items and also accommodate items that must be transported strictly horizontally. This is the purpose.

[Means to solve the problem]

Therefore, in the present invention, a partition plate is provided in the storage box so as to be movable between a use position where the storage box is horizontally crossed and a retracted position where the storage space is not crossed. The above object was achieved by providing a locking means for holding the device in the use position.

[Function] According to the above configuration, by setting the partition plate in the use position, a horizontal mounting surface can be obtained in a storage box that does not have a horizontal bottom surface, and a horizontal bottom surface can be partially provided. In the case of a storage box, a wide horizontal mounting surface is formed by the bottom surface and the partition plate.

[Example] Hereinafter, a specific configuration of the present invention will be described in detail based on drawings showing examples.

1 to 6 show an example in which the present invention is applied to a storage box provided below the seat of a motorcycle, specifically a scooter.

1 and 2 show one embodiment, and this storage box 1 includes a container-shaped box main body 10 and a partition plate 20. FIG.

The box body 10 has a front portion (left side in FIG. 11) that extends downward to accommodate a helmet, and a rear portion thereof that is provided with a bottom surface 10a that extends in a substantially horizontal direction. Note that the seasonal issue 10b is a convex portion for positioning the helmet housed within the box body 10.

The partition plate 20 connects to the box body 10 via a support shaft 21.
Furthermore, this partition plate 20 has two positions in which it is used, horizontally crossing the storage space of the box body 10 as shown by the solid line, and a position in which it is used horizontally across the storage space as shown by the dotted chain line. It can freely swing between a retracted position and a retracted position along line 10a.

The partition plate 20 is provided with an opening 22, while a fastener 11 is attached to the box body 10, and a rubber band 30 with hooks 30a and 30b at both ends is attached to the opening 22. The partition plate 20 is held in the use position by passing the hook between the fastener 11 and the fastener 11. The opening 22, the fastener 11, and the rubber band 30 constitute a locking means 40.

Now, when the partition plate 2o is in the retracted position, a helmet can be stored in the front part of the box body 10, and luggage can also be stored on the partition plate 20 in the rear part of the box body 10. .

When the partition plate 20 is in the use position, the partition plate 20 and the bottom surface 10a of the box body 10 form a wide, approximately horizontal surface, in which articles that must be transported strictly horizontally can be accommodated in a U-position.

In the storage box 100 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a partition plate 120 is swingably supported by the box body 110 via a spindle 121, and the partition plate 120
A slide plate 122 is built in so that it can move forward and backward.

Under normal conditions, the partition plate 120 is placed in the retracted position (not shown by the dashed line) and the slide plate 122 is stored.On the other hand, when storing articles horizontally, the slide plate 122 is pulled out and the slide plate 122 is stored. Hook 12 provided at 122
2a is engaged with a fastener 111 provided on the box body 110 to hold the partition plate 120 in the use position shown by the solid line. Thus, inside the box body 110,
Bottom surface 110a, partition plate 120, and slide plate 122
This forms a wide horizontal surface on which articles can be placed and accommodated. In this embodiment, the locking means 140 is composed of the slide plate 122, the hook 122a, and the fastener 111.

In the storage box 200 shown in FIG.
A partition plate 220 is provided below a bottom surface 210a extending substantially horizontally at the rear of the device 10, so as to be movable along the horizontal direction.

Under normal conditions, the partition plate 220 is placed at a retracted position that does not cross the storage space, as shown by the rJ line, but when items are to be stored horizontally, the partition plate 220 is placed in the retracted position as shown by the solid line. What is necessary is just to occupy the use position which traverses the storage space in the horizontal direction. The partition plate 220 is provided with an opening 221, and hooks 230a are provided at both ends of the opening 221 and a fastener 211 provided on the box body 210.
, 230b, the partition plate 220 is held in the use position. In this embodiment, the locking means 240 is constituted by the opening 221, the fastener 211, and the rubber band 230.

In the storage box 300 shown in FIG.
In the area just in front of the horizontal bottom surface 310a of the rear part in 10,
A partition plate 320 is swingably supported via a support shaft 321. An opening 320a is formed in the center of the partition plate 320, and the partition plate 320 normally occupies the space along the inclined bottom surface 310b of the front space of the box body 310, as shown by 3t1B. Partition plate 3 above
A hook 320b is swingably connected to the free end of the box body 310 as shown by the solid line and the broken line.
By locking the fastener 311 provided in the
- The partition plate 320 is held in the use position shown by the solid line. In this way, the bottom surface 310a and the partition plate 320 constitute a wide horizontal surface, in which articles can be stored while keeping the surface level. In this example, hook 320b
and the fastener 311 constitute a locking means 340. Further, this embodiment can be effectively applied to a storage box that does not have a space with a horizontal bottom surface in the rear part of the box body, but only has a space for accommodating a helmet.

It goes without saying that the present invention is not only applicable to scooters, but can also be effectively applied to storage boxes for various vehicles.

〔Effect of the invention〕
