いる。 As is clear from these figures, fuel tank 3
The mounting member 10 for attaching the front and rear ends of the fuel tank 3 to the vehicle body frame 1 includes a pair of front and rear frames 11 into which the front and rear ends of the fuel tank 3 are fitted, respectively, and
The fuel tank 3 is fixed to the central part in the longitudinal direction of the fuel tank 3
and a protective wall 12 that covers the front and rear end faces of.

成するようにしてもよい。 The front end of the fuel tank 3 is inserted into the rearward-opening recess of the two front and rear recesses formed by the frame 11 located at the front and the protective wall 12 fixed to the frame 11. A concave portion opening toward the front and constituting the supporting portion 13 to be held constitutes a fixing concave portion 14 for attaching the mounting member 10 (frame body 11) to the vehicle body frame 1. This fixing recess 14 is provided with a bolt hole 15 for attaching the frame 11 (attachment member 10) to the vehicle body frame 1, and using this bolt hole 15, the frame 11 is attached to the vehicle body using bolts (not shown). It is tightened and fixed to the side surface of the frame 1. In the embodiment, the frame body 11 (attachment member 10) is attached to the vehicle body frame 1 by bolting, but when attaching to the vehicle body frame 1 by other methods, it is not necessarily necessary to provide the bolt holes 15. Protective wall 12
may be fixed to the end (front end) of the frame body 11 to form only the recessed portion (supporting portion 13) that opens toward the fuel tank 3.
燃料タンク３を車体フレーム１に取付ける場合

容易に取付けることができるので都合がよい。 When attaching the fuel tank 3 to the vehicle body frame 1, the front and rear ends of the fuel tank 3 are inserted and held in the frames 11 of the front and rear mounting members 10, respectively, and the frames 10 are respectively attached to the vehicle body frame 1.
Attach to. In addition, when attaching the frame 11 (attachment member 10) to the vehicle body frame 1 in this way, one of the two recesses formed in each attachment member 10 as in the embodiment is used to support the fuel tank 3. If the other recess is used as the fixing recess 14, it is convenient because the mounting member 10 can be easily mounted on the vehicle body frame 1 while the mounting member 10 is attached to the fuel tank 3.

る。 Further, a flange 16 protrudes around the fuel tank 3 which is fitted and held in the support portion 13 as described above, as in the conventional case. Therefore, when the front and rear ends of the fuel tank 3 are inserted into the support part 13, the flange 16 comes into contact with the protective wall 12 and the protective wall 12
A space 17 is formed between the front and rear end surfaces of the fuel tank 3 and
ensure that For this reason, stones scattered on the road surface are thrown up by the wheels 5 and become flying stones, and the protective wall 12
Even if there is a collision, there is no fear that the impact force at this time will be directly transmitted to the end face of the fuel tank 3, and damage to the fuel tank 3 due to flying stones is prevented.
なお、実施例では燃料タンク３に形成されてい

設けるようにしてもよいというように、空間１７
を確保する手段は実施例に限定されない。 In the embodiment, a flange 16 formed on the fuel tank 3 is used to secure a space 17 between the front and rear end surfaces of the fuel tank 3 and the protective wall 12, but a fuel tank without a flange may be used. When installing the fuel tank 3, a step may be provided on the inner wall of the support part 13, or the inner wall of the support part may be formed into a tapered shape to limit the insertion depth of the fuel tank 3 and create a space 17. As in, space 17
The means for ensuring this is not limited to the embodiment.
また、実施例では燃料タンク３の前端面及び後

もできる。 Further, in the embodiment, both the front end surface and the rear end surface of the fuel tank 3 are covered with the protective wall 12, but the protective wall covering the rear end surface, which is less likely to be damaged by flying stones, may be omitted. Furthermore, when protection of the rear end surface of the fuel tank 3 is omitted in this way, the rear end portion of the fuel tank 3 can be attached to the vehicle body frame using a conventional support arm and tank band. In this case, the frame 1
1 can be attached to the vehicle body frame 1 in advance, the frame 11 can also be bolted and fixed to the vehicle body frame 1 using the space 17.
