Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide possibility of seat alignment dependent upon the rider's tallness and prevent the accommodated object from being viewed in the whole in a motorcycle, scooter, etc. whose seat can be tumbled ahead, by providing the seat with movability fore and aft in the locked condition. CONSTITUTION:A rectangular plate 19 welded to the body side member of a hinge 13 mounted at the front of a scooter seat is slidably detained with a rail plate 20 installed on the rear top 12 of the body. This plate 19 is provided with a plurality of holes 19a, in which a pin of a lock lever device 21 is fitted. Also a rectangular slide plate 23 is welded to the bottom of a detent member 18 of a rotation locking device 14 to be detained with a detent groove in a rail plate 24 mounted on the rear top 12 of the body so as to slide in the direction fore and aft. If a lever 28 is turned to remove the pin from hole 19a in the seat thus configured, the seat 11 can be slided freely in the direction fore and aft. This permits seat fixation in a position in good accordance with the driver's tallness by inserting the pin in an appropriate hole 19a.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention is applicable to underpone motorcycles, scooters
The present invention relates to a seat structure for a motorcycle in which the seat can be moved and adjusted, and the seat can be moved to perform refueling.

(Prior Art) In general, passenger cars are equipped with a slide adjustment mechanism (see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-44288) on the seat, and the iI! Il! However, in many motorcycles, the seat is positioned based on the tank weight dimension in order to fix the seat.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Some seats for motorcycles, scooters, and the like have a structure in which a hinge is attached to the front of the seat so that the seat can be turned upside down forward. An example of the structure is shown in FIG. 6. In FIG. 6, l indicates a scooter pod, and a storage compartment 2 is formed on the upper surface of the rear part of the pod, and a fuel tank filler port 3 is provided next to it. A sheet 4 is placed on top of the sheet. The seat 4 is moved forward 61 around the hinge 5 attached to its front part.
It is set up so that it stands upright.

In this structure of the pod 1, the oil filler port 3 is covered with the sheet 4, so that the cap 6 fastened to the 1'E oil port 3 will not come off. Further, it is convenient because small items can be stored in the storage compartment 2 and there is no need to tie them to the cargo platform. Note that although there are cases where the oil filler port 3 is installed in other positions, it is better to provide it at the top for structural reasons.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, even in the above-mentioned scooter, the seat 4 does not move in the front-back direction, so the seat position does not suit small or tall people, resulting in a cramped posture. It was difficult to drive under compulsion.

When refueling, the seat 4 is turned upside down to expose the oil filler port 3, so the stored items in the storage compartment 2 are exposed, which is not pleasant. This was particularly undesirable for petite female users.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a seat structure for a two-wheeled motor vehicle that allows the seat to be moved in the front and back direction in a locked state and allows refueling during this time.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a seat that is attached to the vehicle body through a hinge means at one end, the seat is freely turned upside down, and the other end is locked with a locking device. In the motorcycle, the hinge means and the locking device are provided so as to be movable back and forth with the seat relative to the vehicle body, the seat is provided so that it can be fixed at a plurality of positions, and the upper surface of the vehicle body covered by the seat is provided with: The present invention is characterized in that a storage is formed and a fuel filler port is provided at a position that is opened on the rear upper surface of the vehicle body and is exposed when the seat is moved forward.

(Function) With this configuration, the seat can be moved back and forth to adjust the position to suit the body, and by sliding the seat further, the oil filler port is exposed and oil can be filled.

(Example) Next, an example of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 5.

In the figure, the sea hll is the rear upper part 1 of the scooter body.
2, and is fixed by a hinge 13 attached to the front of the seat and a rotation lock device 14 provided to the rear of the seat. A storage compartment 15 is formed in the center of the rear upper part 12 of the vehicle body and can store helmets and the like, and a fuel tank filler port 18 is provided opposite to the inner side of the edge of the seat 11 at the rear thereof. There is. The rotation lock device 14 has a hook 17 projecting downward from the seat ll and a rear upper part 1 of the vehicle body.
It consists of a spring-biased locking member 18 provided on the second side.

A rectangular plate 1 is attached to the member located on the podium side of the hinge 13.
9 is welded, and this plate 13 is slidably engaged with a rail plate 20 which is attached to the rear upper part 12 of the vehicle body and has engagement grooves on both sides. This rail plate 20 extends so as to guide the vehicle body in the longitudinal direction, so the hinge 13
slides back and forth. A plurality of holes 19a are bored in the plate 18 at appropriate intervals in the front-rear direction, and the rear upper part 12 of the vehicle body
A rectangular sliding plate 23 is welded to the lower part of the locking member 18 of the 0-rotation locking device 14 into which the pin 22 of the locking/returning device 21 provided at the rear of the vehicle body is fitted. It engages with an engagement groove of a rail plate 24 mounted on the upper part 12. Since the engagement groove of the rail plate 24 extends so as to guide the vehicle body in the longitudinal direction, the sliding plate 23 slides in the longitudinal direction. Plate 19 and sliding plate 23 are pipe 25
are connected together. In the figure, 26 is the lid of the fuel filler port 18, 27 is the lever of the rotation lock device 14, and 2
Reference numeral 8 designates a lever of a lock lever device 21, which may be operated and locked by a key.

In the seat structure configured as described above, when the lever 28 is operated to remove the pin 22 from the hole 19a, the seat 11 is moved to the plate 19.
The seat slides freely in the front and rear directions at the sliding plate 23, and is fixed at a position suitable for the body by inserting the pin 22 into a suitable hole 19a. Further, when the seat 11 is pushed further forward with the pin 22 removed, the oil filler port located at the rear of the rear upper part 12 of the vehicle body is exposed. When refueling, the storage compartment 15 is hidden by the seat 11, so there is no need to worry about objects inside the storage compartment 15 getting dirty due to splashing of gasoline, etc. Furthermore, no matter where the seat is, the hook 17 can be opened by operating the lever 27. 11 can be turned upside down, and helmets and personal items stored in the storage compartment 15 can be taken out.

Also, install the seat rail plate with a slight forward tilt,
By tilting the sliding direction, the height position can be adjusted proportionally. In this case, the upper surface of the sheet should be kept horizontal when moving. Further, the fuel filler port may be attached to the front of the storage, and in this case, the -H seat is moved rearward when filling the fuel.

(Effects of the Invention) Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the seat can be moved back and forth and adjusted to a suitable seating position, making it possible to drive long distances with less fatigue and physical fitness. It is easier to drive because it corresponds to the size of the vehicle. Also, when refueling with gasoline.

Since the storage compartment is covered with a sheet, there is no need to get the stored items dirty.
