I am trying to position it.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a cowling brace for a motorcycle.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, there is a cowling brace 21 that supports a headlamp 20 and the like as shown in FIG. The cowling brace 21 has a structure in which a cowling brace body 22 is connected to a cowling brace holder 25 via an upper stay 23 and a lower stay 24.

The cowling brace body 22, the upper stay 23, and the lower stay 24 are each formed of a tube material.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, the external design of the cowling (not shown) attached to the cowling brace 21 is greatly influenced by the position of the headlamp. For this reason, it is preferable that the degree of freedom of the position where the headlamp 20 is disposed is large.

However, in the conventional cowling brace 21 described above, the position of the upper paste 23 in particular often overlaps with the valve coupler of the headlamp 20 and interferes with each other.

For this reason, the arrangement position of the headlamp 20 is restricted, and the degree of freedom in designing the cowling is also greatly restricted.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cowling brace for a motorcycle capable of increasing the degree of freedom in designing the cowling.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, in a cowling brace of a motorcycle, the cowling brace body is connected to a cowling brace holder via an upper stay and a lower stay. It is formed so as to be folded back and widened upward, so that the bulb coupler portion of the headlamp is positioned in the space inside the upstain.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of a cowling brace for a motorcycle according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 7 show an embodiment of the present invention. The cowling brace 1 of this embodiment supports the headlamp 3 and the like of the motorcycle 2.

The cowling brace 1 has a structure in which a cowling brace body 4 is connected to a cowling brace holder 7 via an up stay 5 and a lower stay 6.

In particular, in this embodiment, the upper paste 5 is formed in a substantially U shape so as to bend the plate material and expand it upward.

In the cowling brace body 4, 8 is a brace upper tube, 9 is a brace center tube, 10 is a brace lower tube, 11 and 11 are a pair of brace side stays connecting them, and 12 is a brace side stay 11, 11 is a headlamp fixing plate that is erected in the middle of 11.

The upper stay 5 is welded to the cowling brace holder 7 at its lower center portion 5a, and is welded to the brace center tube 9 at its left and right upper end portions 5b and 5b.

The lower stay 6 connects the central portion of the brace lower tube 10 and the lower portion of the cowling brace holder 7 by welding.

The cowling brace holder 7 is fixed to the head pipe 14 of the vehicle body frame 13 of the motorcycle 2.

In the cowling brace 1 of the present embodiment, the bulb coupler 3a of the headlamp 3 is located in the space provided by forming the uptake 5 into a substantially U-shape. As a result, the arrangement positions of the up paste 5 and the bulb coupler 3a of the headlamp 3 do not overlap and interfere with each other.

Therefore, the arrangement position of the headlamp 3 can be freely determined without considering the presence of the up-steering 5, and therefore the cowling 15 of the motorcycle 2 attached to the cowling brace 1 can be determined. Greater freedom in design.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the plate 17 for inserting and mounting the electrical component 16 such as the CDI unit or the winker relay on the one headlamp fixing plate 12 is integrally provided.

By integrally providing the plate 17, the welding length can be shortened as a whole, and the welding cost can be reduced.

The plate 17 is not limited to the above, but may be formed separately and attached to the headlamp fixing plate 12 using bolts, if necessary.

By extending the plate 17 integrally or separately on the headlamp fixing plate 12, it is possible to effectively utilize the space around the headlamp 3.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the brace lower tube 10 of the cowling brace 1 shown in the above embodiment is further bent into a substantially U shape, and the central portion 18a is flattened. The pipe material 18 may be welded.

If the nuts 18b and 18b for mounting the electric component 19 are previously welded to the central portion 18a of the pipe member 18, the electric component 19 can be easily mounted.

Further, since the central portion 18a of the pipe member 18 to which the electric component 19 is attached is formed flat as described above, the bracket 18c for attaching the electric component 19 which is usually formed by pressing (see FIG. The difficult work of welding (see 2) is unnecessary.

This makes it possible to obtain the pipe member 18 with good dimensional accuracy for mounting the electrical component 19. Further, since the central portion 18a of the pipe material 18 can be formed by a simple press die, it can be manufactured at low cost. Furthermore, since the pipe material 18 is a comparatively large part, it is easy to weld it, and the welding jig has a simple structure.

In the above embodiment, the cowling brace upper paste is bent into a substantially U shape, but the present invention is not limited to this and may be formed into a substantially V shape. In short, the plate material may be formed in any shape as long as it is formed by folding back the plate material at the central portion and expanding the plate material upward.

[0028]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the cowling brace of the motorcycle of the present invention, since the apste is formed so that the plate material is folded back at the central portion thereof and expanded upward, the space inside the apste is formed. The bulb coupler portion of the headlamp can be positioned so that the arrangement positions of the above-mentioned pasta and the above-mentioned bulb coupler portion do not overlap and interfere with each other.

Therefore, the position where the headlamp is arranged can be freely determined, and the degree of freedom in designing the cowling attached to the cowling brace can be increased.
