Abstract

PURPOSE:To restrict the height of the front part of a seat above the ground by providing a store-chamber capable of housing two helmets over the full length of the seat, and housing the large and small size helmets with the front store chamber being smaller than the rear store chamber. CONSTITUTION:A helmet store box 7 is provided over the full length of a seat 6 as a cover body, and the front part of the store box serves as a front store box part 7a in which a Z-type helmet (small type) H1 is housed with its back turned. The rear part of the seat serves as a rear store box part 7b in which a large-sized maleface type helmet H2 is housed with its back turned. The bottom parts 7c, 7d, 7h of the front store box part 7 are formed into a concaved shape so as to match an opening face of the helmet H1. The height of the front part of the store box 7 can thus be reduced, the height of the seat 6 above the ground is lowered and the longitudinal length of the store box can be shortened, and increasing of the car body size can also be prevented.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a helmet storage device provided below the seat of a two-seater two-wheeled motor vehicle, mainly of the shuttle type.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, as a helmet storage device, for example,
There are known helmet storage compartments that can store one helmet under the seat, such as the one described in Publication No. 154964, but there is no storage compartment that can store two helmets under the seat. Ta.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) By the way, in a two-seater two-wheeled motor vehicle, a storage chamber that can store two helmets is provided below the seat by utilizing the space under the seat, and a large helmet is placed in the front. If the seat is stored under the seat for the driver, the ground clearance of the seat increases and the vehicle body becomes larger. Furthermore, if a large storage compartment extending approximately the entire length of the seat is provided in the front and lower portions of the seat, this type of motorcycle may be driven with only one helmet stored in it, and the helmet will not be removed when riding. There is an inconvenience that it rattles and damages the helmet.

The present invention provides a helmet storage device for a two-wheeled motor vehicle in which two helmets can be stored under the seat, which reduces the ground clearance at the front of the seat, reduces the storage space for two helmets, and improves space efficiency as a whole. Its purpose is to

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a helmet storage chamber in which two helmets can be stored in the front and rear over substantially the entire length of the seat at the bottom of the seat of a two-wheeled motor vehicle. Configuring the helmet storage chamber into a front storage part and a rear storage part,
The helmet stored in the front storage part is smaller than the helmet stored in the rear storage part.

(Function) The helmet storage compartment is divided into a front storage area and a rear storage area, and a small helmet can be stored in the front storage area, and a large helmet can be stored in the rear storage area. The ground clearance of the vehicle can be lowered, and the front-to-back length of the storage compartment below the seat can be shortened, thereby preventing the vehicle body from becoming larger.

The center frame 8d is provided with a rear frame Bes 8e that curves and extends rearward from the upper end of the lower frame 8d, and each of the left and right frames is connected to the upper end of the center frame 8d by a first cross pipe 8r at the rear end of the lower frame 8C. The rear end of the rear frame 8e is connected to the second cross pipe 8g by the third cross vibe 8h, and an inverted U is formed forward from the middle part of the two rising frames 8d.
A letter-shaped subframe 81 is provided protrudingly, and furthermore, a pair of square pipes Ilj, 8j are provided between the subframe 81 and the down tube 8b in front of the subframe 8I.

The fuel tank 4 is fixed to the lower frames 8c, 8c via fixing fittings 9 at its flange portion 4C,
The upper vehicle body cover 10 and the lower undercover 1 are protected on both sides by the two lower frames 8c and 8c, and the upper part is protected by the two square pipes 8j18j, respectively, and steps LOa and tea are formed on both sides of the entire body including these.
It is surrounded by 1.

The engine unit 5 consists of a cylinder part 5a and a unit body 5b which integrally forms a crank case and a transmission case extending rearward thereof, and an axle 3a of the rear wheel 3 is pivotally supported at the rear of the unit body 5b. At the same time, the middle upper part thereof is connected to the center frame Bd via the oleo link 12.
, 8d, and the rear end thereof is supported by a rear frame 8e via a cushion damper 13, thereby forming a so-called swing engine unit. An air cleaner 14 and a carburetor 15 connected thereto are disposed above the engine unit 5, and a seat 6 above the air cleaner 14 is disposed.
A helmet storage box 7 is arranged in the space between.

The helmet storage box 7 has a front storage box part 7a that stores an old Z (jet) type helmet facing backwards using the seat 6 as a lid body, and a front storage box part 7a that stores a large full-face helmet 112 facing backwards in the rear part. The front storage box part 7a is positioned above the sub-frame 8I, and the rear storage box part is positioned so as to fit between the two rear frames. Attachment holes 8 provided in the sub-frame 81 at the front and rear, 8 and the rear frame Be58.
They are attached to the mounting holes 8r, 8r fixed to the rear end of e with screws or the like, respectively.
