Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a motorcycle.

[Prior Art] In the case of the motorcycle disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-60586, lighting equipment provided at the rear of the vehicle body is integrally attached to a cover member that closes the open rear end of the rear cowl. .

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the case of the above-mentioned motorcycle, there are restrictions on the mounting position of the lighting device, such as installing it integrally with a part of the zeid birch on the vehicle body, or due to the cover.To avoid this, it is necessary to It is conceivable to attach it to the cover part via a special bracket that protrudes downward from the rear cowl, but this would increase the number of parts and narrow the space between the rear wheel and cowl. This has the disadvantage of impairing access to the rear wheels for maintenance and inspection.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and in claim 1, a motorcycle is provided with a backrest that stands up from the upper surface of a seat on which an occupant is seated. A second aspect of the vehicle is characterized in that a lighting device such as a direction indicator light or a tail light is disposed on the rear surface of the backrest. In a motorcycle equipped with the above-mentioned lighting device at the rear,
A space open to the side is formed between the wheel and the seat, and a vehicle body cover that communicates with the upper surface of the space extends above the rear end and stands up above the seat continuously from the rear end. It is characterized by being continuous with the backrest.

The vehicle body cover 7 covers from above the front wheels 3 to above the handlebar 5 to reach the front end of the seat 6, and includes a cover body portion 7a whose side portion covers the side of the vehicle body, and a rear portion of the side portion of the cover body portion 7a. The sorting cowl part 7b extending rearward from the end and covering the lower side of the seat 6, and the lower cover part 7C extending to the side of the front end of the rear wheel 4 are integrated, and cover the entire vehicle body. It is formed into a streamlined shape.

The front part of the cover body part 7a is provided with a drive mechanism S that rotates upward and opens (first
A front cover 8 (opens in the direction of the arrow in the figure) is provided,
By opening the front cover 8, articles can be stored in a tray 9 disposed in front of the handle 5. Furthermore, a meter visor 8a is provided at the rear end of the front cover 8 so that a meter M disposed at the center of the handle 5 can be visually recognized and can be opened by sliding forward and upward.

Further, a curved plate-shaped step 10 is provided at the rear end of the lower cover portion 7c for the driver to place his/her feet on, and a fuel tank 11 is provided inside the seat cowl portion 7b.
is installed.

A swing type power unit 12 for driving the rear wheels 4 is attached to the rear end of the main frame 1a of the vehicle body frame 1 so as to be swingable up and down.

This power unit 12 includes an engine 14 housed in a shroud 13 and a power transmission mechanism (see FIG. (not visible). By the way, this power transmission mechanism consists of pulleys fixed to the output shaft of the engine 14 and the axle of the rear wheel 4, a transmission belt wound between these pulleys, an automatic centrifugal clutch, a continuously variable transmission, etc. .

The power unit 12 is supported so that the front end of the transmission case 15 can swing up and down by being connected to the rear end of the main frame 1a via a pivot 16, and the swinging is caused by the front end of the transmission case 15 being connected to the rear end of the main frame 1a. The suspension 17 provided between the upper part and the reinforcing frame 10 absorbs and damps the vibration.

A backrest 18 is provided at the rear end of the cowl portion 7b of the vehicle body cover 7. The backrest 18 consists of a tail cover 18a that is integrated with the seat cowl part 7b and stands up diagonally forward from the rear end of the seat cowl part 7b, and a cushion 181) attached to the front surface of the tail cover 18a. The driver's waist hits the shoe/con 18b and receives the rearward load of the driver.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a gate-shaped frame 20 is formed at the rear of the tail cover 18a of the backrest 18 by forming a rectangular opening ]9. The direction indicator light (
A light fixture) 21 is attached to each. The surfaces of these direction indicator lights 21 are flush with the surface of the tail cover 18a, and extend from the rear surface to the side and top surfaces of the tail cover 18a. Further, a tail light (lamp) 22 that also serves as a stop light is disposed between the lower ends of the left and right frame portions 20a of the frame body 20. The gap 19a is open in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, and the upper frame portion 20a above the gap 19a is used as a grip 2 for lifting the vehicle body.
It is configured to function as 3.

In addition, the reference numeral 24 in FIG. 2 is a cover that closes the lower opening of the seat cowl portion 7b, and the reference numeral 25 is an exhaust port of an exhaust pipe connected to the engine 14.

A wide space A is formed between the cover 24 and the chaffender 4a.

Further, a rectangular license plate mounting plate 26 is provided in the opening 19 for attaching a license plate (not shown) with a gap 19a between the openings 19 and 19a.

As shown in FIG. 4, the plate 26 for installing the license plate is hinged at its lower end to the tail cover 18a so that the upper part opens. 11a, from which fuel can be injected.

Also, as shown in FIG. 4, the license plate is mounted inside the plate 26 and is fixed to the tail cover 18a, so that when the plate 26 is opened, the taillight 22 lights up and when the plate 26 is opened, the tail light 22 is turned on. A switch 27 is provided which is configured to turn off the tail light 22 when the vehicle is installed, and when the plate 26- for mounting the license plate is opened, the inlet 11a of the fuel tank 11 will turn off the tail light 22.
It is illuminated by the second bulb 22a for easy injection. For this reason, the cover 22b above the taillight 22 is made of a transparent material.

According to the motorcycle having the above configuration, since the direction indicator light 21 and the taillight 22, which are lighting devices, are provided on the backrest 18, even if the seat 6 is set low, these direction indicators The set heights of the indicator light 21 and tail light 22 can be secured.

In other words, the height of the seat 6 can be set low while ensuring the set heights of the direction indicator lights 21 and taillights 22. This allows greater freedom in designing the vehicle body. Further, there is an advantage that the distance between the seat cowl portion 7b and the rear fender 4a can be increased. These features are extremely useful, especially for motorcycles with small diameter front wheels and rear wheels.

Further, since a wide space A is provided between the seat 6 and the rear wheel 4, high proximity to the rear wheel 4 and the like from the outside can be obtained.

5 and 6 show modified examples of the arrangement pattern of the lamps of this embodiment.

In the example shown in FIG. 5, direction indicator lights 28 are provided at the lower portions of the left and right frame portions 20a of the frame body 20, and a gate-shaped structure is provided on the frame body 20 spanning between the upper ends of these direction indicator lights 28. A tail light 29 that also serves as a stop light is provided.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 6, tail lights 30 that also serve as stop lights are provided at the lower portions of the left and right frame portions 20a of the frame body 20, respectively.
Directional indicator lights 31 are provided in these two parts, respectively, and extend in a bent manner to both ends of the upper frame part 20b.
