Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a cassette player in a motorcycle.

Recently, there has been a trend towards luxury motorcycles, and some are already equipped with radio receivers, walkie-talkies, etc., but if you want to make them even more luxurious, you may need to install a cassette player just like you would with a car. It is possible to install it. When a cassette player is installed, various problems must be solved such as operability, anti-vibration properties, waterproof properties, and anti-theft properties.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a mounting structure for a cassette player that has excellent waterproof properties.

In order to achieve this object, the cassette player mounting structure according to the present invention is such that a case member housing the cassette player is mounted at an angle with respect to the vehicle body, and a means for locking the case member to the vehicle body is provided at the upper end of the case member. It has a structure in which a handle member is formed on the lower side.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a motorcycle according to the present invention seen from a riding position, and FIGS. 2 and 3 show left and right side views. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a front cowl equipped with a screen 2. The cowl 1 is composed of an outer plate and an inner plate, and is constructed integrally with the vehicle body, and is, as a matter of course, separate from the handlebar 3. A space is defined by the outer and inner plates of the front cowl 1, and the radio unit body 4, transceiver unit body 5, power amplifier 6, etc. are housed in the space located on the right side of the vehicle body. In the space located at
At the same time, a cassette player 12 is housed near the bottom of the left grip 3A of the handle 3.

The cassette player 12, as shown in FIG.
It is installed at an angle to the vehicle body in the direction of travel. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, the eject button 13 of the cassette player 12 is arranged outside the cassette insertion opening 14 with respect to the vehicle body, thereby improving the operability of the cassette player 12. In other words, use the middle finger of your left hand to press the Ejiek button 1.
When 3 is pressed, the ejected cassette half (not shown) is always returned to the palm of the left hand, thereby preventing it from flying out.

15 and 16 are a radio select switch and a transceiver talk switch attached near the left grip 3A of the handle 3, and 17 is a fuel tank. 18 is an air duct hole, 19L and 19R are left and right speakers, and 20 is a meter panel equipped with various indicators, which are installed in the front cowl 1.

4 is a perspective view showing the cassette player in FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the cassette player in FIG.
A sectional view taken along the line A, and a sectional view taken along the line B-B are shown in FIG. 6, respectively. Reference numeral 21 denotes an inner case that houses the player body 12, and the case 21 supports the player body 12 in a floating manner via a vibration isolating member such as a vibration isolating rubber 22.
A seal rubber 23 is interposed between the top panel of the player body 12 and the top opening of the inner case 21 to provide waterproof measures to prevent rainwater from entering the case. The outer case 24 housing the inner case 21 is fixed to the front cowl 1 at its upper surface by screws 25 as fixing means. The screw 25 is a flange 21 provided on the inner case 21 as a cover member so that it cannot be seen from the outside when the player main body 12 and the inner case 21 are housed in the outer case 25.
Covered by A.

Reference numeral 26 denotes a locking means for locking the player main body 12 to the vehicle body, and the locking means 2
6 is provided on the inner case 21 so as not to impair the anti-vibration effect of the anti-vibration rubber 22. The locking means 26 locks the locking pawl 2 by inserting the inner case 21 into the outer case 24.
6A is the engaging portion 2 provided on the outer case 24
When engaged with 4A, it becomes locked.

As described above, the inner case 21 is inclined so that the front side in the running direction is higher with respect to the car body, just as the player main body 12 is inclined with respect to the car body in the running direction, and a stepped portion 21B located at the upper end. The crank 2 is provided with a locking means 26 on the outer case 24.
As shown in FIG. 4, handle members 29A and 29B are formed at the lower end that engages with the player body 12 so that the player body 12 can be inserted and lifted with a finger when the player body 12 is removed from the vehicle body.

In the player main body 12, a cassette lid 30 can be opened and closed on the outside of the cassette insertion opening 14 in order to prevent rainwater etc. from entering the inside of the main body. A seal rubber 31 as a waterproof member is provided,
Furthermore, a tapered convex portion 32 is formed around the insertion port 14. The cassette lid 30 is opened and closed by a link 33. 34 is a cover that covers the operation section of the player body 12, and the cover 34 is an outer cover 34A that is detachable from the player body 12.
and an inner cover 34B that is slidable relative to the outer cover 34A.

As described in detail above, in the present invention, the inner case housing the cassette player is installed at an angle with respect to the vehicle body, a locking means for the vehicle body is provided at the upper end of the inner case, and a hand member for gripping the inner case is provided at the lower end of the inner case. The cassette player can be easily removed by lifting it with the locking means and the handle member, and since the handle member is provided at the lower end, it is possible to prevent water from entering the hole. There is no intrusion of dirt, dust, etc.
