Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a handlebar switch device for a two-wheeled vehicle.

In two-wheeled vehicles such as motorcycles, various operation switches are provided near the left and right grips of the handlebar. These switches are operated via operators. There are various types of controllers, one of which is the swing type controller, which has the advantage of having a very clear operating feel.However, on the other hand, the operating angle is large due to its structure, making it difficult to use on motorcycles. When adapted to a handlebar switch and arranged to swing in the axial direction of the handlebar pipe, there was a drawback that when the handlebar was operated in a direction farther from the handlebar grip, the return felt very far away.

The present invention has been made to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide a handle switch device for a two-wheeled vehicle having a switch operator having a shape with excellent operability.

In order to achieve this purpose, the handlebar switch device for a motorcycle according to the present invention has the most protruding tip of the switch operator whose tip moves in the axial direction of the handle pipe shifted toward the handlebar grip side of the switch operator. It has a set configuration.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

Fig. 1 is a top view showing one embodiment of the present invention;
The figure is its front view. In the figure, 1 is a handle pipe, 2 is a left grip attached to the end of the handle pipe 1, and 3 is a housing attached to the handle pipe 1 so as to be located near the left grip 2. For example, a turn signal switch is built into the housing 3, and an operator 4 of this switch is provided to protrude from the housing surface. Operator 4 is handle pipe 1
It is a so-called swing type device that swings in the direction of the axis X, and is configured to take three positions: the off (OFF) position, and the left (L) and right (R) turn signal positions shown in the figure. The most protruding tip 4a of the switch operator 4 is deviated toward the left grip 2 of the operator, that is, toward the left grip 2 with respect to the center axis Y of the operator 4, which is approximately perpendicular to the axis X of the handle pipe 1. It is provided. Furthermore, the operating surface 4b of the switch operator 4 is a sloped surface that is higher toward the left grip 2 and lower toward the center of the vehicle body.

By using the operator 4 having such a configuration, the operator 4 can be brought closer to the handle left grip 2 by the distance A shown in FIG. This makes operation easier. If you simply offset the tip of the control, the disadvantage would be that it would be a little too close for people with long fingers.
By tilting the operation surface 4b of the operator 4,
It is very flexible because there are two points for hooking the fingers: the tip 4a of the operator (see Figure 3) for people with short fingers, and the sloping operation surface 4b (see Figure 4) for people with long fingers. This means that it can be easily operated regardless of the length of the fingers.

In addition, in the above embodiment, a case was explained in which a switch operator that swings in the axial direction of the handle pipe is used, but it may also be applied to a switch operator that moves in the axial direction. It has the effect of Furthermore, the shape of the switch operator is not limited to the above embodiment; for example, the shape of the switch operator is not limited to the shape of the switch operator.
The shape shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 6 may be used.

As detailed above, according to the present invention, the most protruding tip of the switch operator whose tip moves in the axial direction of the handle pipe is offset toward the handle grip side of the switch operator. Provides ease of use.
