Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] This invention relates to a brake pedal device for a motorcycle, and is particularly concerned with the riding posture of the rider sitting on the seat and the riding posture of the rider standing up on the footstep. The present invention relates to a device suitable for racing motorcycles that are often operated in two different postures.

[Conventional example]

Conventionally, motorcycles for this type of competition have had footsteps placed at a relatively high position to prevent them from touching the ground during competition, and operating pedals such as the gear shift pedal and brake pedal have been installed relatively rearward to make them easier to operate. There is. Therefore, when riding in a seated position, with the toes pointing downward and the operating pedal in a relatively low position, it is easier to operate the pedal. Since the tip of the toe extends forward almost horizontally, it is easier to operate the pedal if it is placed relatively high.

[Summary of the idea]

This invention can be adapted to the two types of driving postures mentioned above.
The purpose is to obtain a brake pedal with a simple structure. Multiple tread members of different heights are provided at the tip of the operating arm supported by the vehicle body, and the lower tread member is connected to the higher one. It is distinctive in that it protrudes outward in the width direction of the vehicle body from the surface member.

〔Example〕

This invention will be explained below with reference to illustrated embodiments. 1 is a competition motorcycle designed for trial competitions in which the motorcycle runs at low speeds on uneven ground without touching the ground. 2 is the car body, which is assembled by welding steel pipes. 3
is the front wheel, 4 is the rear wheel, and 5 is the engine mounted between them. 6 is a fuel tank provided directly above the engine, 7 is a seat, and a foot step 8 is provided below the seat.

A brake pedal 9 located on the side of the engine 5 is provided on the vehicle body 2 so as to be movable up and down via a support shaft 10 . As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the brake pedal 9 is composed of an operating arm 11 and a tread member 12 provided at the tip thereof. The tread member 12a and the second part which is relatively long and located at a low position.
It consists of a tread member 12b. Both tread members are made by bending a steel plate with triangular irregularities on its upper surface into a U shape and welding it to the operating arm 11. 5a is a protective cover for the engine 5, and is made of a steel plate. The tread members 12a, 12b are spaced apart from the foot step 8 provided at the rear thereof by approximately the same dimension in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body.

Next, to explain how the brake pedal 9 is used, as shown in FIG. The toes point downward,
If the tip of the toe is moved slightly outward, the second tread member 12b, which is relatively long and located at a low position, will be just below the tip of the toe.

In addition, as shown in Fig. 4b, during a competition in which the driver stands on the footstep 8 and runs, the driver's toes extend horizontally forward, so the toe is short and the first footstep is located at a high position. It comes directly above the member 12a.

Thus, the height can be changed as required during operation.
Different types of tread members 12 can be easily used.

[Effect of the invention] The brake pedal device for a motorcycle according to this invention has a plurality of tread members 12a, 12b of different heights facing outward in the width direction of the vehicle body at the tip of the operating arm 11 of the brake pedal 9. The tread members 12b are provided so as to protrude from each other, and the tread members are spaced apart from the foot step 8 provided at the rear by approximately the same dimension in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, with the lower tread member 12b being separated from the higher one. Since the tread members 12a protrude outward in the width direction of the vehicle body, tread members with different heights can be selected by simply moving the toe slightly in or out depending on the driving posture. Therefore, the legs are not required to take an unreasonable posture, making it easier to maneuver. In addition, two types of tread members 12
Since both a and 12b are provided at the tip of the operating arm 11 and differ only in length, the structure is simple and the manufacturing cost can be increased to a minimum.
