Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a frame cover for a motorcycle.

(Prior Art) A motorcycle equipped with a fairing that covers both sides of the engine from the front of the vehicle body, and a side cover that is arranged at the rear of the side of the fairing,
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 146771/1983 discloses that the front edge of the side cover is attached to the rear edge of the side part of the fairing.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, even if the front edge of the side cover is attached to the rear edge of the side of the fairing, the rear part of the fairing and the front part of the side cover must be tied and supported to the frame, respectively. For this reason, in addition to tying the rear part of the fairing to the frame and the front part of the side cover, it is necessary to attach the fitting part of the fairing and side cover to the frame, which is a total of three troublesome installation operations. The number of tools will also increase. If mold misalignment or burrs occur during resin molding on the rear edge of the side part of the fairing or the front edge of the side cover, the misalignment in the overlapping portions will be unsightly and noticeable.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a corner frame 12 that connects the head pipe 11 and the rear fork pivot 7.
3. A bracket 15 is provided protruding from the rear surface of the fairing 21, and a side rear edge 22 of the fairing 21 is attached to the corner frame 12.
The rear part 13 of the corner frame 12 along the side surface of
The front edge 27 of the side cover 26 is bent inward to extend to the rear surface, and the front edge 27 of the side cover 26 is bent inward so that the side rear edge 22 of the fairing 21 and the side cover 26 are attached to the bracket 15. It is characterized in that the front edge 27 of the holder is jointly fastened.

(Function) The side rear edge 22 of the fairing 21 and the front edge 27 of the side cover 26 are jointly fastened to the bracket 15 protruding from the rear surface of the rear part 13 of the square frame 12 that connects the head pipe 11 and the rear fork pivot 7. Therefore, the side rear edge 22 of the fairing 21 and the front edge 27 of the side cover 26 can be commonly connected and supported to the rear part 13 of the corner frame 12 at one location without providing a separate fairing bracket. Therefore, the installation work can be simplified, and the number of parts such as the bracket and the fastener can be kept to a minimum. The side rear edge 22 of the fairing 21 is bent inward along the side surface of the corner frame 12 to the rear surface of its rear part 13, and the front edge 27 of the side cover 26 is also bent inward, that is, both ends The parts that are closest to each other due to the edges are deep when viewed from the outside, so even if there is a step, it will be difficult to notice. Therefore, even if there is mold misalignment or burrs during resin molding, the fairing 2 The boundary between the side cover 26 and the side cover 26 does not become unsightly or noticeable.

(Example) Examples will be described below based on the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a side view of a motorcycle to which the present invention is applied. A front fork 2, which supports a wheel 1, is steerably supported by a head pipe 11. A bar handle 3 is mounted and supported on the front fork 2, and 11 has left and right corner frames 12
are connected and extend rearward and downward, and a fuel tank 4 is placed on the front part of the square frame 12. A rear part 13 of the square frame 12 is bent downward and vertically provided, and a rear fork 6, which supports the rear wheel 5, is supported via a pivot 7 on the square frame rear part 13 so as to be able to vibrate.

Furthermore, an engine 8 is provided in the space below the corner frame 12.
A rear frame (not shown) extends rearward from the corner frame 12, and a seat 9 is placed on the rear frame. A fairing 21 is provided to cover the engine 8 and both sides of the square frame 12 from the front of the vehicle body, and a side cover 26 is also provided to cover the rear lower part of the fuel tank 4 and the lower part of the seat 9.

In the above motorcycle, the square frame 12 is composed of a square pipe with an eye-shaped cross section as shown in FIG. A bracket 15 having the structure is fixedly provided.

On the other hand, while the side rear edge 22 of the fairing 21 is aligned with the side surface of approximately the upper half of the square frame rear part 13, the second
As shown in the figure, it extends inwardly to the rear surface, and a fixing piece 23 having a mounting hole 24 is formed at a portion of the extending end corresponding to the bracket 15. Further, the front edge 27 of the side cover 26 is formed into an inwardly bent shape that substantially continues rearward from the fairing 21, and a portion of the side cover front edge 27 corresponding to the bracket 15 has an inner side having a mounting hole 29. A fixing recess 28 is formed.

Then, as shown in FIG. 2, a spacer 17 is interposed on the outer surface of the bracket 15, and the fastening pieces 23 are overlapped.
Further, the fixing recess 28 is placed on the outer surface thereof, and the screw 18 is passed through the mounting holes 29, 24, 16 from the outside and tightened to the nut 19 on the inside.

In this way, on the rear surface of the rear part 13 of the square frame 12 that connects the head pipe 11 and the rear fork pivot 7, the side rear edge 22 of the fairing 21 and the side cover 26 are attached to the protruding bracket 15.
and the front edge 27 of

The nut 19 of the co-fastening part may be welded to the inside of the bracket 15, or the nut 19 of the co-fastening part may be provided by welding to the inside of the bracket 15.
1 and the side cover 26 are each fixedly supported by the frame via a bracket or the like, as is known in the art, except for the co-fastening portion.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, according to the invention, the side rear edge of the fairing and the front edge of the side cover can be jointly supported at one place at the rear of the corner frame, which simplifies the installation work. can be achieved, and the number of parts can be kept to a minimum.
Moreover, according to the present invention, the rear edge of the side part of the fairing is bent inward along the side surface of the corner frame to the rear surface of the rear part thereof, and the front edge of the side cover is also bent inward, so that the two front ends are brought closest to each other. The part becomes deep when viewed from the outside, and even if there is a step, etc., it is difficult to understand. Therefore, even if there is mold misalignment or burr during resin molding, the fairing and side parts can be easily removed as in the conventional structure. The boundary with the cover does not become unsightly or conspicuous, and the appearance can be improved.
