Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an improvement of a basket attached to the body cover of a vehicle such as a motorcycle, scooter, or bicycle.

(Prior art) To attach the front basket of a motorcycle, scooter, bicycle, etc. to the front cover of the vehicle body,
As shown in FIG. 8, a mounting plate 44 is provided on the back side of the basket 10, and bolt insertion holes 48 are formed in the mounting plate 44 at positions corresponding to the plurality of bolt fitting holes 46 provided in the cover 42. The holes 46 and 48 of the mounting plate 44 and the cover 42 are aligned, and the bolts 50 are passed through them, and the distance piece 54 is inserted into the bolts.
The basket 10 is fixed onto the cover 42 by fitting it and tightening the nut 52.

(Problem to be Solved) By the way, since the bolt fitting holes 46 of the vehicle body cover are provided at appropriate positions depending on the design, size, etc. of the cover 42, the bolt insertion holes 48 formed in the basket are It must correspond to the position of the bolt fitting hole 46.

In Figure 8, conventionally, the horizontal pitch A and vertical pitch B between the bolt fitting holes are different for each model of motorcycle, etc., and the number of holes is also different, so each model is compatible with the bolt fitting hole of the respective vehicle body cover. Bolt insertion hole 48
They manufactured baskets with Therefore,
If the model was different, the basket could not be attached, which was extremely inconvenient. Furthermore, it became necessary to maintain a stock of baskets for each model, creating an inventory burden.

When a particular model is scrapped, the basket for that model has no other suitable use and is therefore uneconomical.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention reveals a basket that can be attached to a vehicle body cover even if the vertical and horizontal pitches and numbers of attachment bolts are different.

The present invention has a vertical through hole 1 in the center of the back surface 12 of the basket 10 into which a bolt 50 for attaching to the vehicle body is fitted.
3, and two straight guide members 18, 18 are provided on both sides of the back surface of the basket, slightly protruding outward from the back surface of the basket and extending in parallel in the longitudinal direction between the upper and lower portions of the basket.

A stay 20, which is installed horizontally across the guide members 18 and 18, has a retaining plate 30 removably screwed to its end with the guide member 18 in between, and the stay 20 has a slot 24 extending in the longitudinal direction. are doing.

Grooves 26a and 30a into which the guide member 18 is fitted are formed at the end of the stay 20 and the opposing surface of the presser plate 30.

(Operations and Effects) A bolt 50 for mounting to the vehicle body is inserted into the vertical groove hole 13 at the center of the back of the basket, and tightened with a nut 52.

Grooves 26a and 30 of the stay 20 and presser plate 30
Fit the guide member 18 to a, and attach the presser plate 30 to the stay 2.
0, fit the mounting bolt 50 into the slot 24 of the stay, and tighten the nut to fix it to the vehicle body cover.

By loosening the nut of the bolt 50 fitted in the vertical groove hole 13, the height position of the bolt can be freely changed, and by loosening the nut attaching the retaining plate 30 to the stay 20, the stay 2
0 can slide up and down while being fitted between the guide members 18, 18, so the height position of the stay 20 can be adjusted in accordance with the vertical height of the mounting bolt 50 on the vehicle body cover to which the basket is attached. Furthermore, the mounting height position of the basket can be freely changed.

Further, since the horizontal distance between the mounting bolts 50 can be accommodated by the horizontally elongated slots 24 of the stay, it can be mounted on vehicles with different mounting bolt positions, providing versatility.

(Example) In FIG. 1, two parallel vertical bars 11, 11 are provided at the center of the back surface 12 of the basket 10, spanning from the top end of the basket 10 to the bottom 16, and the mounting bolts for the vehicle body cover are installed between the vertical bars. A narrow vertical groove hole 13 is formed into which the screw fits.

Guide members 18 are provided on both sides of the back surface 12 of the basket.
A guide member 18 is provided extending longitudinally slightly projecting outwardly from the back surface 12 of the basket 10 and spanning between the upper and lower portions of the basket. Note that the guide member 18 is preferably formed by bending a metal wire in the following manner from the viewpoint of ease of manufacture and strength. That is, the lateral support member 14
, the support member is fixed to the upper end of the back of the basket, both ends of the support member are bent outward to slightly protrude, and are further bent in the vertical direction to extend parallel to each other toward the bottom of the basket. The bent end 18a is bent toward the basket at
is fixed to the bottom part 16 of the basket.

As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 4, and 6, both ends of the stay 20 include a bent piece 27 bent toward the back surface of the basket, and a tip of the bent piece protrudes approximately parallel to the back surface of the basket. A groove 26a into which the guide member 18 is fitted is formed in the protrusion 26, and a bolt insertion hole 28 is formed outside the groove. Both grooves 26a, 2 of the stay 20
The distance between the guide members 6a corresponds to the distance between the guide members 18,18.

The stay 20 has a round hole 22 approximately at its center, and slots 24, 24 for bolt insertion extending in the longitudinal direction are formed on both sides of the round hole, respectively.

One end of the holding plate 30 is curved into an arc shape, and the inner surface of the curved portion forms a groove portion 30a into which the guide member 18 is fitted, and a bolt insertion hole 32 is opened at the other end.

Next, a method of attaching the basket 10 to the front cover 42 of the scooter 40 will be explained.

In the case of the scooter of the type shown in Fig. 3, there are bolts 50 for attaching the basket to the front cover 42 of the vehicle body.
There are one protruding piece on the top and two protruding pieces on the bottom.

Note that the bolts 50 do not necessarily need to be fixed in advance, and the bolts 50 may be inserted into the front cover 42 from the inner surface of the stay 20 and fixed with nuts on the inner surface of the cover.

First, two distance pieces 54, 54 are fitted to the upper bolt 50, and one distance piece 54 is fitted to each lower bolt 52.

The stay 20 is mounted horizontally and parallelly onto the front cover 42 by passing a bolt 50 through the slot 24 and using a nut 52.

Next, the guide member 18 of the basket 10 is fitted into the groove 26a of the protruding pieces 26, 26 of the stay 20, the holding plate 30 is applied to the protruding piece 26, the guiding member 18 is fitted into the groove 30a of the holding plate 30, and this In this state, the bolt insertion holes 28, 3 of the holding plate 30 and the protruding piece 26
2, and tighten it with a nut 54.

This allows the basket 10 to be attached to the cover 4 of the vehicle body.
2 can be firmly attached.

The upper mounting bolt 50 is inserted into the vertical slot 1 of the basket.
3, so the height of the bolt 50 is not selected.
Further, since the slot 24 of the stay 20 extends long in the horizontal direction, even if the vertical pitch and horizontal pitch between the bolts 50, 50 differ depending on the model of the scooter or the like, it can be made to correspond to the dimensions. Further, since the stay 20 can be attached to any position in the vertical direction of the guide members 18, 18, there is no problem in attaching the basket 10 even if the vertical dimensions between the bolts 50, 50 are different.

The basket of the present invention is extremely economical since it is not necessary to prepare a basket suitable for each model of motorcycle or the like.

It goes without saying that the configuration of each part of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, but can be modified in various ways within the technical scope of the claims for utility model registration.
