Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a cover for covering a bar handle of a scooter or the like.

[Conventional technology]

In a bar handle such as a scooter covered with a cover made of synthetic resin, the cover is manufactured by molding into upper and lower halves (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 116591/1983).

In addition, in a bar handle cover molded from synthetic resin that covers the bar handle from above, a frame portion whose front side is open on the left and right sides of the bar handle cover is provided, and a cylindrical portion is integrally formed at the center of the rear surface of the frame portion, There is a device in which a bulb socket for mounting a light bulb is inserted into the cylindrical portion, and a lens is connected to the front surface of the frame portion (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 184386/1986).

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

However, in the former case where the cover of the bar handle is manufactured by molding into two parts, the upper and lower parts, [1] Since the upper cover is molded with one mold, the upper cover has a reflection of the light on its front surface. It is not possible to integrally mold the concave part with a surface and the socket part that supports the light bulb, making it troublesome to attach the reflective surface and the light bulb. This may act as a shearing force on the bonding surface of the lower cover, so it is necessary to strongly bond the bonding surface. [3] Since the reflective surface, socket, etc. are not integrally molded with the cover, wind and rain may not penetrate into the cover. There was a problem that the data could be leaked.

In addition, in the latter bar handle cover molded from synthetic resin to cover the bar handle from above, a recessed part having a reflective surface for a light fixture and a socket part for supporting a light bulb are integrally molded on the front surface of the bar handle cover. Since the frame of the light fixture opens toward the front, when molding the cover, a mold for cutting in the front-back direction perpendicular to this mold is placed outside the mold for cutting in the vertical direction. Because you need
There was a problem that the mold for molding became complicated and productivity deteriorated.

This idea was made in view of these problems with the conventional technology, and its purpose is to divide the cover into two parts, the front and the front, so that the direction in which the cover is cut out is divided into the front cover. This makes it possible to match the cutting direction of the recess that forms the reflective surface of the light fixture provided on the body with the socket that supports the light bulb, thereby simplifying the mold for forming the cover of the bar handle and improving its production. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cover for a bar handle that can improve performance.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the cover of the bar handle in this invention is composed of a front cover segment and a rear cover segment made of synthetic resin that cover the bar handle from the front and back, and the front cover segment has a front surface thereof. A recessed part forming a reflective surface of the lamp and a socket part supporting a light bulb are integrally formed in the recessed part, and a translucent lens plate is attached to the recessed part.

[Effect]

The cover of the bar handle is composed of a front cover segment and a rear cover segment, and the front cover segment has integrally formed on its front surface a recess that forms a reflective surface for a lamp and a socket that supports a light bulb. Therefore, only one mold is required for the front cover division.

In addition, since the cover consists of front and rear covers,
Even if the cover is subjected to wind pressure while riding on a scooter, etc., the joint surfaces of both covers are only subjected to compression.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of this invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 will be described below.

In the figure, 10 is a steering front wheel, 12 is a bar handle fixed to the upper end of a steering shaft (not shown) that supports this front wheel 10, and the bar handle 12 is It is covered with a cover 16 made of synthetic resin. This cover 16
This is a combination of a front cover divided body 16A and a rear cover divided body 16B which are divided into front and rear parts as shown in FIG.

On the front surface of the front cover divided body 16A, there is a recess 2 that forms a reflective surface for the left and right pair of direction indicator lights 18, 18.
0, 20, and a socket part 2 that supports the light bulb 22.
4 and 24 are integrally molded. recess 20,
The inner surface of 20 may be aluminum vapor-deposited or painted as necessary to improve light reflectance. Socket part 2
4, a pair of terminals 26 (26a, 26
b) is inserted, the light bulb 22 is inserted from the front, and both are connected at the socket portion 24.
A coupler on the wire harness side is further inserted into the terminals 26a and 26b from the rear.

After the light bulb 22 is attached to the socket part 24 in this way, a translucent lens plate 28 is attached to the front of the recessed part 20.
is installed. This lens plate 28 has a concave portion 20
A claw 3 that engages in an engagement hole 30 formed on the inner peripheral edge of the
2, and is fixed to the front cover divided body 16A by pushing the claw 32 into the engagement hole 30.

34 is a headlamp, and this headlamp 34 is attached to a recess 36 formed in the center of the front cover divided body 16A. This headlamp 34 is integrally formed with the front cover divided body 16A in substantially the same structure as the direction indicator lamp 18 with the recess 36 as a reflective surface. The bulb (not shown) may then be mounted in another separate socket, which fits into socket portion 37 within recess 36.

In addition, in FIG. 1, 38 is a rear wheel, and 40 is a driver's seat.

In this embodiment, the cover 16 is divided into two parts, front and rear, so the recess 20 and socket part 24 of the direction indicator light 18 or the recess 36 and socket part 37 of the headlight 34 are integrated with the front cover divided body 16A. It can be molded, and at that time, the recesses 20, 36 and the socket parts 24, 3
7 will not be an obstacle to cutting the mold. Also, recess 2
Since the molds of the 0 and 36 parts can also be removed in the front and rear direction, there are few restrictions on the shape and the optical axis direction can be determined in a preferred direction, allowing the direction indicator light 18 with good visibility or the headlight 34 with good light distribution characteristics to be used. can be made.

In addition, in this embodiment, the direction indicator light 18 and the headlight 3
Although the present invention was applied to No. 4, this invention also includes applications to either one of them. For example, in order to make the optical axis adjustable only for the headlamp, it may be assembled as a separate item. In addition, the socket portion is provided with the direction indicator light 18 to which a light bulb is directly attached.
It also includes the structure of the headlamp 34 to which a separate socket is fixed.

[Effects of the invention] The bar handle cover according to this invention is composed of a divided body divided into two parts, front and back, and the front divided body has a recess that forms the reflective surface of the lamp and a socket that supports the light bulb. Since the two parts are integrally molded, the direction in which the cover is cut out can be made to match the direction in which the recessed part forming the reflective surface of the lamp provided in the front cover segment and the socket part that supports the light bulb are cut out. Therefore, only one mold is required for the front cover, and the shape of the molding mold can be simplified, and productivity of the bar handle cover can be improved. Further, since the reflective surface, socket portion, etc. can be integrally molded with the cover, wind and rain are less likely to leak into the cover.
In addition, since the cover consists of the front and rear covers, even if the cover is subjected to wind pressure while riding on a scooter, the joint surface of both covers will be compressed, and the joint surface does not require a particularly strong joint. It has advantages.
