Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a headlight device for a small motorcycle such as a scooter.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in this type of motorcycle, a headlight is attached to a handle cover. (For example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 60-740583)
Further, as shown in Figure 5, the light emitting surface is placed inside the cover a that is integrated with the handle cover so that it faces the opening, and the projecting piece c on the upper part of the headlight b is inserted into the hole d provided on the inner surface of the cover a. When inserted, the lower part of headlight b can be freely swung back and forth, and the lower part of headlight b can be fixed with a bolt f through a long hole e drilled in cover a directly below the swinging position, making it possible to adjust the optical axis. It is said that When the headlight b is attached, a rib h is provided to guide and support a notch g provided in the lower part of the headlight b to prevent the protrusion c from coming off.

Therefore, when attaching headlight b to cover a, the protrusion c provided at the top of headlight b is
The headlight b is inserted into the opening while inserting the headlight b through a hole d provided on the inner surface of the cover a, and the bolt f is inserted from the outside of the cover a through the elongated hole e, so it is time-consuming to attach the headlight.

In order to adjust the optical axis, the bolt f is placed between the two so that it does not come into contact with the upper edge of the front cover i disposed directly under the handle cover a as shown in Figure 6 when the handle j is rotated. Since the gap k must be provided, there is an inconvenience that the design configuration of the headlight b and the front cover i is limited.

Furthermore, since it is necessary to provide the notches g and ribs h, the distance between the lower inner surface of the handle cover a and the lower surface of the headlight b becomes large, which causes the inconvenience that the headlight b cannot be made larger.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The present invention solves these conventional inconveniences, makes it easy to attach the headlight, increases the degree of freedom in designing the handle cover to be attached and the front cover provided below it, and It is now possible to attach a larger headlight.

(Means for Solving the Problem) In order to solve the problem, the present invention provides a motorcycle in which the headlight is housed with the light emitting surface facing the opening of the handlebar cover. is inserted into a hole provided in the upper inner surface of the cover so that the lower part of the headlight can swing freely in the front and back direction, and a cutout groove is provided at the lower edge of the opening of the cover along the swinging direction of the lower part of the headlight, A mounting member having a U-shaped bent portion at the bottom facing the lower edge of the opening is provided at the bottom of the headlight, a screw is provided across the bent portion, and the bent portion is attached to the opening at the location of the groove. It is characterized in that the lower edge of the opening is inserted into the lower edge and a screw is inserted into the groove so that the lower edge of the opening is sandwiched between the bent portions.

(Operation by the above means) According to the above means, the protruding piece on the upper part of the headlight is inserted into the hole provided on the upper inner surface of the handle cover, and the screw of the mounting member on the lower part of the headlight is inserted into the notch groove on the lower edge of the cover. Insert it and pinch the lower edge of the opening at the bent part to complete the installation of the headlight. When adjusting the optical axis of the headlight,
This is done by moving the screw through the notched groove.

(Example) A further detailed explanation will be given with reference to the drawings showing an example of implementation of the present invention.

FIG. 1 shows a motorcycle in which the present invention is implemented, 1 is a seat, 2 is a front cover, 3 is a handle, 4 is a front wheel, 5 is a handle cover that also serves as a headlight cover, 6 is a headlight, 7 is a floor panel, 8 is a rear wheel, and 9 is a body cover.

The front wheel 4 is provided with a front fender 10 housed inside the front cover 2 as shown in the second figure.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory cutaway side view showing the implementation part of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is an exploded explanatory view of the lower part of the headlight 6 in a state in which it is attached. The lower part of the headlight 6 is made swingable in the front and back direction by inserting protrusions 11, 11 into a hole 12 provided in the upper part of the inner surface of the handle cover 5. A cylindrical portion 12 projecting rearward is integrally provided at the rear of the headlight 6, and a cutout groove 13 is provided at the lower edge of the opening of the cover 5 along just below the swinging position of the headlight 6.
One end was attached to the notch groove 13, and the other end was fixed by a mounting member 14 attached to the lower edge of the opening at the notch groove 13. More specifically, the mounting member 14 is made of an elastic band-shaped plate having a roughly S-shape in side view, and is provided with a tongue piece 15 cut and raised on the outer surface of its upper end to prevent it from coming off. The upper end part can be inserted and tied, and the upper bent part 16 holds the cylindrical part 12, and the lower part has a U-shaped lower bent part 17 that opens toward the lower edge of the opening of the cover 5. In addition, the space between the bent portions 17 can be adjusted by screws 18 provided across the bent portions 17. Therefore, the upper end portion of the mounting member 14 is attached to the cylindrical portion 12, and the lower bent portion 1
7 was inserted into the lower edge of the opening at the position of the notch groove 13 of the cover 5, and the screw 18 was tightened in the notch groove 13 to be clamped to the lower edge of the opening.

With this structure, when attaching the headlight 6, the protrusions 11, 11 provided on the upper part of the headlight 6 are inserted into the hole 12 on the upper inner surface of the cover 5, and then the mounting member attached to the lower part of the headlight 6 is inserted. The downward bent portion 17 of 14 is cut out into the groove 13.
Installation is completed by simply inserting it into the lower edge of the opening and tightening it with the screw 18. Further, when adjusting the optical axis of the headlight 6, the screw 18 is moved within the notched groove 13 and tightened as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. Since the headlight 6 is held by the upper bent portion 16 of the mounting member 14 and pushed upward by the elastic force of the mounting member 14, it is stably housed in the cover 5 after being mounted.

(Effects of the invention) According to the invention, as is clear from the above, the notch groove is also used for the mounting position at the bottom of the headlight, which improves the workability of mounting the headlight and improves the lower edge of the opening of the handle cover. The gap between the front cover and the headlight body can be reduced, and the degree of freedom in design between the handle cover and the front cover can be improved.
