Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a rod-shaped steering handle cover structure for a saddle-ride type vehicle.

Prior Art In this type of conventional rod-shaped steering handle cover structure, as illustrated in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 61-33784,
The halves, which are divided into two or three halves with mating surfaces in the longitudinal direction of the handle, are covered with a rod-shaped steering handle, and the halves are integrally connected to each other at the mating surfaces.

Problems to be Solved By the way, in such a conventional rod-shaped steering handle cover structure, both ends of the divided cover halves remain facing the longitudinal direction of the handle and are firmly fixed away from the handle. Therefore, the divided cover halves are likely to vibrate due to external forces such as shocks caused by driving.

Also, the cover is separated from the handle, leaving a gap visible from the side, which does not look good.

Furthermore, in the device described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-156876, although the central part of the handle is covered with an upper handle cover and a lower handle cover, the handle grip is exposed, so it is difficult to grasp the handle grip. There is a drawback that the driver's hands become wet or cold when exposed to rain water or the wind while driving, and the driver inevitably feels uncomfortable.

Means and Effects for Solving the Problems The present invention relates to an improvement of the rod-shaped steering handle cover structure of a saddle-ride type vehicle that overcomes the above-mentioned difficulties.
In a rod-shaped steering handle structure in which a handle cover covers the entire circumference of the center of a rod-shaped steering handle provided with grips at both ends, the handle cover can be separated into a first half and a second half with mating surfaces in the longitudinal direction of the handle. A first grip cover is formed on the first half and is spaced a predetermined distance from the grip and covers the front of the grip, and a first grip cover is formed on the second half at a boundary between the center of the handle and the grip. A side wall is formed, and a second grip cover is integrally formed on the front edge of the side wall, and the second grip cover overlaps and is interconnected with the first grip cover of the first half in the front-rear direction. It is.

Since the present invention is configured as described above,
By interconnecting the first and second separable halves, it is possible to cover the central part of the bar-shaped steering handle.

Further, in the present invention, a first grip cover is formed on the first half and covers the front of the grip at a predetermined distance from the grip;
Since a second grip cover is formed in the second half, which overlaps and is interconnected with the grip cover in the front-rear direction, both grip covers cover the front of the grip, and the driver's hand holding the grip is protected from rainwater and wind while driving. You can avoid discomfort such as getting your hands wet or getting cold.

Furthermore, in the present invention, since a side wall is formed on the second half at the boundary between the center part of the handle and the grip, the inner space of the handle cover cannot be seen from the side of the handle through the side wall, improving the appearance. Moreover, the second grip cover of the second half can be fixed to the handle by this side wall, and can be integrally connected with the first grip cover by overlapping, and the first and second
By increasing the strength and rigidity of the grip cover, it is possible to prevent vibrations from occurring due to external forces associated with running, etc.
