Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the use of a motorcycle without permission and robbery by installing an operating member of a parking brake device in a space such as an article storage box, etc. covered with a cover plate capable of being locked. CONSTITUTION:Unless a locking device is released by a specialized key to open a cover plate (seat) 5 of a space (article storage box) 13, and an operating member 22 installed in the space 13 is operated, a parking brake device cannot be released. As a result, other persons have no means to easily release the parking brake device, and during parking, a parking brake is normally applied for a motorcycle not to be moved. The use of the motorcycle without permission and robbery can thus be prevented.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a braking device for a motorcycle equipped with a parking brake.

(Prior Art) Motorcycles, like other vehicles, are equipped with a parking brake device, which is activated to prevent the vehicle from moving for some reason while parked. ing.

A parking brake device is generally configured such that an operating section of the brake device used for driving is maintained in its operating state. For example, if a brake lever is installed close to the grip of the steering bar handle, a locking hook, buttock pin, etc. is provided so that the brake lever can be pulled and the brake device remains activated. There is. Some brake systems operate in two systems, one of which is controlled by a separate parking brake operating member.

However, not only a parking brake lever that doubles as a regular brake lever, but also a separate parking brake operating member can be easily released by someone else while the vehicle is parked, so it is effective in preventing unauthorized use and theft. It was something that was missing.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The braking device for a motorcycle of the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points. The purpose is to provide a function to prevent unauthorized use and theft of wheeled vehicles.

[Structure of the invention]

(Means for Solving the Problems) With the above object, the braking device for a motorcycle of the present invention provides a parking brake for a motorcycle equipped with a space such as an article storage box covered with a lockable lid. The operating member of the device is installed within the space.

(Function) With this structure, the parking brake device cannot be released unless the lock device is unlocked using a special key, the lid of the space is opened, and the operating member installed in the space is operated.

There is no way for someone else to easily release this parking brake device, and the parking brake is always engaged while the motorcycle is parked, making it impossible to move the motorcycle easily. It also has the effect of preventing unauthorized use and theft.

(Example) DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The drawings showing embodiments of the present invention will be explained below.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a scooter type two-wheeled motor vehicle.

A front wheel 1 is supported by a steering head so as to be steerable by a handle 2, and a leg shield 3 covers the surroundings of the steering head. The central part of the vehicle body is deeply indented and has a step board 4 that is continuous to the leg shield 3, and further behind it is connected to a rear body 6 that expands upward.

A seat 5 is mounted on the rear body 6.

A unit swing type engine 7 is arranged under the rear body 6. In the unit swing type engine 6, a swing case 8 connected to one side of the crankcase extends rearward, a rear wheel 9 is pivotally supported at the rear of the swing case 8, and a front end of a support arm 10 that protrudes forward and downward is attached to a frame 11. It is pivotally supported at the rear lower end and suspended so that it can swing up and down.

The seat 5 is pivotally supported by a hinge 2 at the front end so as to be openable and closable, and functions as a lid for an article storage box 13 installed in the rear body 6. In the closed state, the seat 5 is locked by a seat lock device (not shown).

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the rear wheel 9 is fixed to an output shaft 14 protruding from the swing case 8, and a brake drum 16 is formed inside the wheel 15. On the other hand, brake shoes (not shown) are incorporated into the outer surface of a brake panel 17 extending from the swing case 8 and face the inner surface of the brake drum 16, thereby forming an inwardly expanding brake device. 18 is a brake cam that expands the brake shoes.
It is pivoted to the brake panel 17 and has an actuating lever 19 fixed thereto.

A brake lever 20 is attached to the grip portion of the handle 2.
is equipped, and the operating lever 19 is operated by the Bowden wire 21.
is in contact with. By pulling the brake lever 20, the operating lever 19 swings to activate the brake system, and the rear wheel 9
is braked.

Next, a parking brake lever 22 is installed in the article storage box 13 and connected to the actuation lever 19 by a Bowden wire 23, so that the brake device can also be actuated by pulling this lever. .

This parking brake lever 22, as shown in FIG.
It is pivotally supported by a bracket 24 so as to be able to swing up and down, and when pulled upward, it pulls the Bowden wire 23, and at the same time, the ratchet 25 supported on the lever engages with the ratchet wheel 26 fixed to the bracket 24, and the It is held in the raised position so that the braking operation of the brake device is maintained.

To release the braking operation, the release button 27 is operated to remove the ratchet 25 from the ratchet wheel 26, and the parking brake lever 22 is lowered.

In this way, after unlocking the seat lock device using a special key and opening the seat 5, the parking brake lever 22 in the article storage box 13 is operated.

Therefore, if the seat 5 is closed during parking, it is impossible for someone else to easily release the parking brake, and in addition to its original function, this parking brake device also serves to prevent unauthorized use and theft.

It goes without saying that the installation position of the parking brake lever is not limited to the interior of the article storage box, but may also be located within the peripheral space indicated by reference numeral 13a in FIG.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the braking device for a motorcycle of the present invention is a motorcycle equipped with a space such as an article storage box covered with a lockable lid, and the operating member of the parking brake device is installed in the space. In addition to the original function of a parking brake, it also has the effect of helping to prevent unauthorized use and theft of motorcycles equipped with this device.
