Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a fellow rider footrest prevented from being drawn back by the movement of a foot or the like by fixing the stopper plate of the footrest in the state of being restricted by a stopper wall and another low stopper wall at the time of putting the footrest out into a used position. CONSTITUTION:Both ends of a bracket 2 fastened to the lower part of a frame 1 are brought into proximity to the inner side of a frame cover, and a cylindrical shaft fitting 4 is vertically welded to the outer end of the bracket 2. The inner side of the shaft 6 of a footrest 5 is bent upward, and a coil spring 7 is inserted into the shaft 6 and energized downward. In this state, the shaft 6 is inserted into the shaft fitting 4 from the lower side. A step 8 is provided at the upper end of the spindle 6, and a stopper plate 9 is fitted and fastened by a nut 10. The stopper plate 9 is provided with two stopper protrusions 11 shifted by 90 deg., and the shaft fitting 4 is provided with a stopper wall 12 erected on the front side and a low stopper wall 13 erected on the inner side.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a footrest for a passenger on a scooter which can be fixed in a position of use.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Scooters allow a passenger to ride behind the rider. In this case, footrests are provided on the left and right sides of the lower part of the frame, and the passenger rests his or her feet on the left and right footrests. The footrest is used by extending it to the side, and when not in use, it can be rotated upwards or backwards for storage, and the elasticity of the spring maintains the moderation between the extended position and the retracted position. I try to keep it low. For example, Utility Model No. 59-15858
See Publication No. 0 and Japanese Utility Model Application No. 1-62182.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Although the footrest is provided with springs, it may rotate and retract when it hits a curb or the like. In particular, items that rotate rearward for storage will end up being retracted if force is applied to the rear due to the way a passenger's feet are placed or if the rider shifts their feet in relation to the rider in front. Since it is stored inside the frame cover, it is difficult to pull it out while riding unless the rider stops.

[0004] In view of this point, the present invention rotates the outside footrest to the rear and stores it under the frame cover, so that it can be fixed in the outside use position, and the footrest can be easily moved. To obtain a footrest for a passenger of a scooter that will not be pulled in by the user.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, a footrest for a passenger of a scooter according to the present invention has the following features:
Connect left and right brackets to the bottom of the frame, fix a cylindrical shaft fitting vertically to the outer end of the bracket, and press the inner end of the core rod bent above the footrest downward with a spring to attach the shaft fitting. A stopper plate is fixed to the upper end by inserting the footrest into the shaft, and a stopper wall and a low stopper wall are provided on the front and inside of the shaft metal fitting. It is fixed by a stopper wall, and when the footrest is pushed up against a spring and turned to the rear, the stopper plate becomes above the low stopper wall and can be stored under the rear frame cover.

[0006]

[Operation] When the footrest is rotated outward, the footrest is lowered by the elasticity of the spring, and the stopper plate is fixed on both sides of the stopper wall and the lower stopper wall to hold the footrest in the extended use position. Therefore, even if the foot placed on the footrest is moved rearward, the footrest will not be rotated rearward. When storing the footrest, push the footrest up against the spring, the stopper plate will come off above the low stopper wall, the footrest can be rotated to the rear, and it will slide inward under the frame cover. It can be stored as desired.

[0007]

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. The left and right brackets 2 are fastened to the lower part of the frame 1. Both ends of the bracket 2 are close to the inside of the frame cover 3, and a cylindrical shaft fitting 4 is attached to the outer end.
Weld it in the vertical direction. Footrest 5 is core rod 6
The inner end of the core rod 6 is bent upward. A coiled spring 7 is inserted into the core rod 6 to urge it downward, and the core rod 6 is inserted into the shaft fitting 4 from below. A step 8 is provided at the upper end of the core rod 6 from the shaft fitting 4, and a stopper plate 9 is inserted and fixed by tightening with a nut 10. The stopper plate 9 is provided with two stopper protrusions 11 that are oriented 90 degrees apart. A stopper wall 12 is provided upright on the front side of the shaft fitting 4, and a low stopper wall 13 is provided upright inside the shaft fitting 4. In addition, a spring 14 is stretched between the lower side of the footrest 5 and the inside of the front side of the footrest 5 of the bracket 2, and the footrest 5 is pulled and maintained in the outward position and the rearward position. It has been made possible to do so.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the footrest 5
When the footrest 5 is rotated outward to the use position,
is pushed down by the spring, and the two stopper protrusions 11 of the stopper plate 9 are pushed down by the stopper wall 12 and the lower stopper wall 1.
3 to prevent the footrest 5 from rotating. When the footrest 5 is pushed up against the spring 7 in the use position, the stopper plate 9 is pushed up and the stopper protrusion 11 on the lower stopper wall 13 side is removed upward. Therefore, the footrest 5 can be rotated rearward and stored inside under the frame cover 3, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

[0009]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, since the present invention is configured as described above, when the footrest is brought out to the use position, the stopper plate of the footrest can be regulated and fixed by the stopper wall and the lower stopper wall. . Therefore, even if the foot placed on the footrest is moved back and forth, the footrest will not be retracted. When storing the footrest at the rear, by lifting the footrest, the stopper plate can be moved to the upper side of the low stopper wall, rotated to the rear, and can be stored discreetly inside under the frame cover. .
