JPH05201369A - Rear part structure for body of scooter - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the structure of the rear of the body of a scooter wherein mating precision of a joint is increased and appearance is improved by a method wherein an oil feed port is formed in the center cover part of the rear of the car body of the scooter, the lateral widths of the portions, at the front and the rear of the oil feed port, of the center cover are decreased, and the rear parts of right and left side covers are curved to the rear and joined with both sides of the center cover. CONSTITUTION:A center cover 2 wherein a recessed part the lateral width of which is increased is formed in a central part and the widths of the front and the rear are decreased is provided. An oil feed port is formed in the recessed part and covered with a lid 10. Engaging holes are formed in the flanges on both sides of the center cover 2. The rear parts of right and left side covers 15 are bent inward and a protrusion is formed on a rear edge. The rear edges of the right and left covers 15 are matched with the flanges of the center cover 2 and the protrusion is engaged with the engaging hole to form in series.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle body rear structure of a scooter in which a fuel supply port is provided at a vehicle body rear part.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a scooter, left and right side covers and a rear center cover are attached to the rear part of a vehicle body to cover the engine so that the engine and the like cannot be seen. Further, a fuel tank and an oil tank may be attached to the rear part of the vehicle body. In this case, a recess is formed in the center cover, an oil supply port is arranged, a lid is attached, and the lid is opened so that oil can be supplied.

[0003]

When the center cover is provided with a fuel filler port, a lateral width is required, which widens the center cover, and the joints between the both sides of the center cover and the left and right side covers are left and right of the vehicle body. It is near the ridges of the side surface and the rear surface, and it is difficult to join the cover joining surfaces with high accuracy so that they can be seen as a series.

In view of the above point, the present invention provides a fuel filler port in the center cover portion on the rear surface of the vehicle body of the scooter. By narrowing the width of the center cover before and after the fuel filler port,
An object of the present invention is to obtain a rear structure of a vehicle body of a scooter in which the rear portions of the left and right side covers are bent to the rear surface and are joined to both sides of the center cover so that the joining accuracy of the joining surfaces can be improved and the appearance can be improved.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the vehicle body rear structure of the scooter of the present invention is provided with a center cover having a narrowed front and rear formed with a recess having a wide width in the center. Place the filler port and attach the lid, fit holes on both side flanges of the center cover to form holes, bend the rear parts of the left and right side covers inward, and form protrusions on the rear edge, The rear edges of the left and right side covers are aligned with the flange, and the protrusions are fitted into the holes to form a series.

[0006]

In the central recess of the center cover, the fuel inlet of the fuel tank and the oil inlet of the oil tank are arranged side by side, and fuel can be supplied by opening the lid. The center cover has a narrow width before and after the recess that provides the filler port.Because the front and rear edges of the left and right side covers can be joined near a flat surface, the alignment accuracy can be improved and steps can be prevented. The center cover and the left and right side covers can be joined together for a good appearance.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. A center cover 2 is attached to the rear surface of the vehicle body behind the seat 1 of the scooter. Center cover 2
Is to be molded using a synthetic resin, and a concave portion 3 having a wide width is formed in the center. Holes 4 are provided in the recess 3 side by side in the center, and a fuel filler port 6 of a fuel tank 5 and a fuel filler port 8 of an oil tank 7 are inserted from below with a seal strip 9 interposed therebetween. A lid 10 is attached to the upper side of the recess 3. Lid 1
0 can be opened and closed by a hinge 11 and can be locked by a key 12.

The center cover 2 has a narrow width in front of and behind the recess 3 and is provided with flanges 13 on both sides.
Fitting holes 14 of long holes are provided at predetermined intervals. The left and right side covers 15 are formed by bending the rear part to the rear surface of the vehicle body,
It is molded from a synthetic resin and has a protrusion 16 formed on its rear edge. The rear edges of the left and right side covers 15 are superposed on the flanges 13 on both sides of the center cover 2, and the protrusions 16 are fitted into the holes 14 to join them.

The center cover 2 is formed to have a narrow width in front of and behind the recesses where the oil supply ports 6 and 8 are provided, and the rear portions of the left and right side covers 15 are bent to the rear surface to form the center cover 2 and the left and right side covers. Since the trailing edge of 15 can be joined with a surface that is almost flat, the precision of the mating surface can be increased and the joining can be performed without a step.

[0010]

As described above, since the present invention is configured as described above, the central recess 3 of the center cover 2 is formed.
The fuel tank 5 and the oil tank 7 are provided with refueling ports 6 and 8, and the refueling work can be performed by opening the lid 10.
The front and rear of the center cover 2 have a narrow width, and the left and right side covers 15 are bent at their rear portions to the rear surface of the vehicle body and are joined to both sides of the center cover 2, so that they are substantially flat. It is possible to bond the surfaces close to each other, the accuracy of the mating surfaces is high, and the bonding can be performed without forming a step, and the appearance can be improved.
