Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase the capacity of a fuel tank placed below a seat by constructing the title device such as to dispose a battery between a helmet housing and a head pipe positioned in front of the helmet housing. CONSTITUTION:A battery holder 20 is disposed in front of a helmet housing 17, between the helmet housing and a head pipe 6 and above a cylinder head 15, and holds a battery 21. The battery holder 20 is protrusively provided with fitting brackets 22 on both sides and is fixed at a bridge tube 23 hung across from the front part of a main tube 7 to the upper part of the head pipe 6 by means of a fastening bolt. Accordingly, the battery 21 is not needed to be placed in a body cover positioned below a seat 36, and this open space can be used for a part of a fuel tank 38 so that the sufficient capacity can be secured.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a helmet storage device for an e-2-wheeled vehicle, which is installed for storing a helmet and other items.

(Prior art) As shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-3572, an engine unit 1 is mounted in the center of the Φ body, and a storage box for storing a helmet and other humanoid luggage is arranged above it. There is.

Generally, the fuel tank is placed above the engine unit, but in this case, due to the volume, it would be appropriate to move the fuel tank to near the bottom of the seat.

However, there is a problem in that the battery and the like are placed under the seat, and therefore the fuel tank does not have sufficient capacity.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, in a motorcycle in which a helmet storage box is arranged with the engine unit facing the fuel tank, the arrangement of the fuel tank;
is 91ii! In view of this, this invention focuses on the fact that the helmet has a nearly spherical shape and the front extension of the helmet storage box can be set short.The space above the engine unit is organized and the battery is placed below the seat. To provide a helmet storage device for a two-wheeled motor vehicle that increases the capacity of a fuel tank.

[Structure of the invention]

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the helmet storage device for a motorcycle of the present invention is provided in a motorcycle in which the engine unit is mounted in the center of the vehicle body. The helmet storage box is arranged at the rear between the head pipe and the sea 1, and the battery is arranged between the helmet storage box and the head pipe in front of the helmet storage box.

(Function) With this configuration, it is no longer necessary to place the battery in the body cover below the seat, and this empty space can be used as a part of the fuel tank, so that a sufficient capacity ω can be secured.

The helmet/helmet storage box is placed towards the rear so that it can be moved away from the engine cylinder head, and the battery holder etc. blocks direct radiation from radiant heat, preventing heat damage to helmets and other items stored inside the box. [
You can also play.

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

In FIG. 1, a front wheel 1 steered by a handle 3 and a rear wheel 2 driven by an engine unit 4 support the front and rear, and the engine unit 4 is mounted in the center of the vehicle body.

A frame 5 that suspends the engine unit 4 includes a main tube 7 that extends rearward from the head vibro, a down dupe 8 that hangs downward from its front end and is guided rearward, and a center tube that connects the rear ends of the main tube 7 and the down tube 8. 9, the engine unit 4 is housed within the trapezoidal shape.

The engine unit 4 is a four-stroke engine with an upright cylinder, and its cylinders 10 are arranged along the rear of the down tube 8. An intake passage 13 is introduced into the rear face of the cylinder 10 from a rear air cleaner case 11 via a V-bullet 12, and an exhaust passage 14 led out from the front face is guided from below to the rear along the down tube 8.

A helmet storage box 17 for storing a helmet 16 is arranged above the intake passage 13. The helmet storage box 17 has a volume that can accommodate the helmet 16, and its length in the front-rear direction is set to a size that does not become unnecessarily large. The bottom surface 18 is located behind the rear end of the cylinder head 15 and above the intake passage 13. That is, the bottom surface 18 is formed so as to rise upward from the rear end of the cylinder head 15 at a position rearward and follow the front surface 19.

A battery holder 20 is disposed above the cylinder head 15 between the front head vibro of the helmet storage box 17 and holds a battery 21. battery holder 2
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, 0 is a bridge tube 23 with mounting brackets 22 protruding from both sides and extending from the front of the main duplex 7 to the top of the head vibro.
It is fixed by a tightening bolt 24. Reference numeral 25 indicates a cushion material attached to the inner surface of the battery holder 20, and reference numeral 26 indicates a band for holding the battery 21.

A box cover 28 is attached to the open upper surface of the helmet storage box 17 and above the battery holder 20, the rear end of which is pivotally supported by a hinge 27 so as to be openable and closable. When the box cover 28 is closed, the locking device 29
acts.

In the figure, reference numeral 30 denotes a side cover provided so as to surround the battery holder 20, and is fixed to the bridge tube 23 with a tightening bolt 32 via a bracket piece 31. A sealing material 33 is attached to the upper edge of the side cover 30 to seal the front peripheral edge of the box cover 28 when it is closed.

A support tube 34 is provided at the rear end of the main tube 7.
The two left and right seat rails 35 supported by are connected,
A seat 36 connected to the helmet storage compartment 17 is mounted. The rear portion of the helmet storage box 17 is also fixed to this seat rail 35 via a bracket 37.

The fuel tank 3 is sandwiched between the left and right seat rails 35 and the support duplex 34 and is located below the seat 36.
8 is placed. The rear end 38a of the fuel tank 38 extends to the rear of the seat 36, and is provided with three injection ports, with a pillion seat 40 located above it. ilrM can be freely installed.

41 is a cowling that covers both sides of the engine unit 4 from the front of the head vibro, and 42 is a body cover that covers both sides below the seat 36 and pillion seat 40.

In this way, the fuel tank 38 can make maximum use of the space below the seat and have a sufficient capacity.

In addition, by arranging the helmet storage box 17 toward the rear, its bottom surface 18 can be set lower than the cylinder head 15, and the ground clearance to the top of the box cover 28 is lowered, allowing the seat 36 following it to be positioned lower than the cylinder head 15. To improve the riding position of a straddle rider. Furthermore, the cylinder head 151)' ”) 100 years of radiant heat 1
Because the helmet does not receive heat damage, it is effective in preventing heat damage.

1 and 5 show another embodiment, in which a battery bolder 14 is integrally formed in the front part of a helmet storage box 43. Separate accessory compartments 45 are formed on the left and right sides of the battery holder 44.

The dead space in front of the helmet storage box can be utilized, and a separate battery holder can be omitted, simplifying the structure.

FIG. 6 shows yet another embodiment. A battery seat 47 is formed at the front bottom of the helmet storage box 46, and the battery 21 is MU-inserted through a cushion material 48. On the other hand, a battery stopper 50 is protruded from the inner surface of the box cover 49 that covers the upper surface of the helmet storage box 46, and engages with and fixes the battery 21 when the box cover 49 is closed.

The battery holder and fixing band can be omitted.
