Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a mounting structure for an audio adjustment switch for riding on a motorcycle.

[Prior art]

Some motorcycles are equipped with audio equipment such as radios, tape recorders, or walkie-talkies. A headset with a microphone and earphones is used.

Usually, the audio adjustment switch is installed on the vehicle body, and the head horn is attached to the helmet worn by the driver.

In addition to the driver's audio adjustment switch and headphone for the passenger, each person can operate the audio equipment when riding with two people.
It is also being configured to allow conversations between people.

On the other hand, in this type of motorcycle, a pad (backrest) or a trunk (item storage box) is provided behind the rear seat, and an armrest is formed on this so that the passenger can ride in a comfortable position. There is.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

By the way, in conventional motorcycles, the mounting structure for the passenger's audio adjustment switch (rear audio adjustment device) is such that the switch is fixed to the underside of the pad or trunk armrest.

However, with such a rear audio adjustment device, it has been difficult to visually recognize the audio adjustment switch and difficult to operate it.

[Purpose of invention]

It is an object of the present invention to provide a rear audio adjustment device that can overcome the problems of the prior art and can be operated while visually checking the device at hand.

[Means to achieve the purpose]

The present invention achieves the above object by constructing a rear audio adjustment device by attaching a foldable link to the vehicle body frame or equipment, and attaching an audio adjustment switch to the link.

The link can be attached to, for example, the underside of the armrest of the pad or trunk, the underside of the rear seat, or the underside of the rear seat of the vehicle body frame.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 5 shows a motorcycle suitable for applying the present invention.

In FIG. 5, a front fork 2 is attached to the front part of the body frame 1 via a steering head, and a front wheel 3 is suspended by the front fork 2. On the other hand, a swing arm 4 is attached to the rear part of the body frame 1. and the rear wheel 6 through the shock absorber 5.
is suspended.

An engine 7 for driving rear wheels 6 is mounted in the center of the body frame 1, and a fuel tank 8 and a front seat (for the driver) 9 are attached to the upper part of the body frame 1. Further, a handle 10 is fixed to the upper part of the front fork 2, and a headlamp 11 is attached to the front of the vehicle body.

Figure 6 shows the rear upper part of the vehicle body.

In FIGS. 5 and 6, the vehicle body frame 1
Behind the front seat 9 are a rear seat 12 for a passenger and a trunk 1 for storing items.
3 is installed.

The upper half of the trunk 13 can be opened and closed, and a backrest 14 for a fellow passenger is fixed to the front surface of the trunk 13 (in the illustrated example, the front surface of the opening/closing part). Furthermore, armrests 15 are integrally formed on both sides of the backrest 14.

A foldable link 16 is attached to the lower surface of the armrest 15 on the left side of the backrest 14, and an audio adjustment switch 17 is attached to the tip of the link 16.

The audio adjustment switch 17 is used to adjust the volume, change channels, etc. of audio equipment such as a radio, tape recorder, or wireless device mounted on a motorcycle.

Each of the audio devices described above is mounted in a desired space such as the upper part of the front fork 2, the inside of the vehicle body frame, or even the inner surface of the cowling in the case of a vehicle having a cowling (windshield).

Further, the audio adjustment switch 18 operated by the driver is, for example, located on the handle 10 as shown in FIG.
It can be installed in a location within easy reach.

Figure 1 shows audio adjustment switch 1 for passenger.
7 and its support means, FIGS. 2 and 3 respectively
FIG. 3 is a partial bottom view taken along lines - and - in the figure;

In FIGS. 1 and 2, a bracket 20 is attached to the lower surface of the left armrest 15 with one bolt 19. As shown in FIGS. This bracket 20
A shaft support hole 22 that penetrates in the left-right direction and has a split groove 21 is formed in the shaft support hole 22 .

The foldable link 16 is composed of a rod member extending in the front-rear direction, and its base is connected to the shaft support hole 2.
It is attached rotatably (foldably) with respect to 2. That is, the base of the link 16 is bent at a substantially right angle in the lateral direction, and this bent portion 16
A is inserted into the shaft support hole 22 and the split groove 21 is tightened with bolts 23, so that the bent portion 16A is attached to be rotatable by friction.

On the other hand, the audio adjustment switch 17 is attached to the tip of the link 16 so as to be frictionally rotatable (foldable).

That is, the shaft support hole 2 also passes through the audio adjustment switch 17 in the left-right direction and has a split groove 24.
5 is formed, and the tip portion 16B of the link 16 bent in the left-right direction is inserted into the shaft support hole 25, and the split groove 24 is inserted into the bolt 26 shown in FIG.
By tightening the link 26 by a predetermined amount, the audio adjustment switch 17 is attached to the link 16 so as to be frictionally rotatable (foldable).

The top surface 17A (FIG. 1) of the audio adjustment switch 17 serves as an operation panel surface, and various switches are provided for remotely controlling volume adjustment, channel switching, tape feeding, etc. of various audio devices.

FIG. 4 schematically shows the above-described audio adjustment device when it is used (solid line) and when it is stored (double-dashed line).

In FIG. 4, the usage state as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 5, and FIG. A
direction, and then turn the audio adjustment switch 17 on the tip 16B of the link 16.
Frictionally rotate it in the direction of arrow B around .

By folding in the directions of arrows A and B in this manner, the link 16 and the audio adjustment switch 17 can be compactly stored in the space below the armrest 15.

When using the audio adjustment switch 17, by reversing the procedure and frictionally rotating it in the directions of arrows B and A, the switch can be moved to the position shown by the solid line in FIG.
In other words, the audio adjustment switch 17 can be pulled out to a position where the passenger can operate it while visually checking it at hand.

According to the embodiment described above, the rear audio adjustment device for a motorcycle can be easily operated while visually checking at hand, can be pulled out and stored with a simple operation, and does not cause discomfort when getting on or off the vehicle. is obtained.

In the illustrated embodiment, the audio adjustment switch 17 is foldably mounted using the lower surface of the armrest 15 of the backrest 14, but the mounting location can be selected at any other suitable location on the vehicle body, for example. , the vehicle body frame 1, front seat 9, rear seat 12, etc. can be selected at a position where space can be secured for accessories.

[Effect of idea]

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, the audio adjustment switch is attached via a foldable link, so that it can be operated when in use and can be stored in a position where it will not be obstructed when not in use. A rear audio adjustment device for a two-wheeled vehicle is obtained.
