Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to equipment storage structures for motorcycles and the like.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in motorcycles and the like, a storage section for tools and other equipment is often provided under the rear seat due to the structural reason that there is little free space. The invention disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-32871 is one example.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the above-mentioned conventional storage section, there was a problem in that the height of the storage section was not sufficient because of the presence of the rear fender below.

Furthermore, if a space is simply formed between the seat and the rear fender and the space is used as a storage area for equipment, the occupant may feel uncomfortable while sitting on the seat. In other words, by forming a relatively large space under the seat (a space where tools etc. can be stored), the cushioning properties of the seat locally increase in the area where this space is formed, and the occupant You may find it difficult to sit.

This invention solves these conventional inconveniences and
It is an object of the present invention to provide a structure of a storage part that can improve the support rigidity of a seat while providing a storage part with sufficient height and provide good seating comfort to an occupant.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention forms a space under the seat, and in this space, a storage box is provided that forms a storage part while improving the support rigidity of the seat. I set it up. Specifically, a recess is formed in the rear fender, the upper part of the recess is covered with a sheet, and a storage box is disposed in the space formed between the seat and the recess. Then, the lower end of this storage box is brought into contact with the recessed portion, while the upper end is brought into contact with the lower surface of the seat, thereby forming the internal space into a storage portion. Further, the storage section is configured to be covered from the rear with a lid member, and the lid member is locked.

Further, in the embodiment described in claim 2, the recessed portion is formed in the vicinity of the top of the rear fender in a substantially horizontal direction.

(Function) According to the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, by forming the concave portion in the fender, the height of the storage portion can be secured sufficiently, and not only the storage space of the storage portion is expanded, but also the storage space of the storage portion is increased. Easy to insert. In addition, since the lower end of the storage box is brought into contact with the recessed portion, and the upper end is brought into contact with the lower surface of the seat, it is possible to prevent the cushioning properties of the seat from increasing locally, which is good for the occupants. It can provide comfortable seating comfort.

Furthermore, if the recess formed in the rear fender is formed in the vicinity of the top of the rear fender in a substantially horizontal direction as in the embodiment described in claim 2, rainwater flowing down on the rear fender during rain can be contained. This prevents the liquid from flowing into the area.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 4.

In Fig. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a storage part of this embodiment, in which a storage box 4 is provided in a recess 3 (Figs. 1 and 4) of a rear fender 2 of a motorcycle, etc., and the storage box 4 is fixed with a presser metal fitting 5, and the storage box 4 is A sheet 6 is provided on the top of the box 4, the rear of the storage box 4 is covered with a lid member 7 (FIG. 5), and a lock 8 is provided on the lid member 7.

The configuration of each member will be described in detail below. The rear fender 2 is an arcuate member having a semicircular cross section and is provided above the rear wheel. The recess 3 is formed by recessing downward, and is formed by recessing the rear fender 2.
It is formed almost horizontally near the top (the one in the figure slopes slightly downward toward the front). Second
In the figure, the storage box 4 is disposed in a space formed between the seat 6 and the recess 3, and is made up of a bottom plate 9, a front wall 10, and left and right side walls 11, and has an upper and a rear side. An open rectangular container
The mounting plate 12, which is provided on the recess 3 (Figs. 1 and 4) and protrudes from the front wall 10, is secured to the recess 3 (Figs. 1 and 4) by bolts 13, and the rear end of the bottom plate 9 is secured to the holding fitting 5. is fixed on the bottom of the
That is, the lower end of this storage box 4 is in contact with the recess 3. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the presser metal fitting 5 is a groove-shaped metal fitting consisting of a bottom portion 14 and both left and right leg portions 15. A presser plate 16 projects forward from the bottom portion 14, and a bracket 1 is inserted from both leg portions 15.
7 protrudes outward, and the bottom part 14 is fixed on the bottom surface of the recess 3 with two bolts 18, so that the presser plate 16 presses the upper surface of the rear end of the bottom plate 9 of the storage box 4. . The seat 6 has a cushion portion 19 formed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 20, and covers the recess 3 and the storage box 4 above. In FIG. 3, the bottom plate 20 of the seat 6 has an inverted groove-shaped cross-sectional shape, and its rear lower surface connects to the bracket 7 (second
(Fig. 1) with three bolts 22 on each side (Fig. 1). The lower surface of the bottom plate 20 of the seat 6 is in contact with the upper end portions of the front wall 10 and both side walls 11, 11 of the storage box 4. In other words, the upper end of the storage box 4 is in contact with the lower surface of the seat 6, and the internal space of the storage box 4 is formed in the storage section 1 whose upper side is covered by the bottom plate 20 of the seat 6. ing.

Furthermore, in FIGS. 1 and 3, a lid member 7 is positioned on the lower surface of the rear end of the bottom plate 20 of the seat.
For locking, three guide projections 23 and three locking projections 26 are formed on the left and right sides of the bottom plate, respectively. The lid member 7 has two left and right support arms 28 protruding from the inner surface of the lid body 27, and is detachably installed in the rear end opening 29 of the storage portion 1. The support arm 28 is a plate member reinforced by a reinforcing plate 30, and is inserted into the gap S formed by the three guide protrusions 23, thereby fixing the lid member 7. The lock 8 has a locking piece 32 rotatably supported by a lock body 31, and is provided in the center of the lid body 27. The locking piece 32 engages with the locking protrusion 26 during locking to prevent the lid member 7 from coming off.

Since the storage section 1 is formed on the lower side of the seat 6 in this way, when storing equipment such as tools in the storage section 1, after storing the equipment in the storage box 4, open the lid. The rear part of the storage part 1 is covered by the member 7 and the lock 8 is locked.Conversely, when taking out the equipment, the key is applied to the lock 8 to unlock it, and the cover member 7 is removed. After opening the storage section, pull out the equipment.

Since the storage box 4 is fixed in a recess 3 formed in a substantially horizontal direction near the top of the rear fender 2, the height of the storage box 4 and thus the storage section 1 is sufficiently high. Therefore, storage section 1
Not only does it have a large storage space for equipment, but it also allows for easy access to equipment. In addition, the storage box 4 has a lower end (front wall 10
and the lower ends of both side walls 11, 11) are in contact with the recess 3, while the upper ends (front wall 10 and both side walls 1 and 11) are in contact with the recess 3.
1 and 11) are in contact with the bottom plate 20 of the seat 6, the support rigidity of the seat 6 is improved, and the cushion of the seat is Since it is possible to avoid a situation where the elasticity becomes extremely large in some areas, it is possible to provide the occupant with good seating comfort. Further, since the recessed portion 3 is formed in the vicinity of the top of the rear fender 2 in a substantially horizontal direction, the structure is such that rainwater flowing down on the rear fender 2 is suppressed from flowing into the storage portion 1 during rain or the like. It's summery.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, according to the invention, a recess is formed in the rear fender, and a storage box is disposed in the space formed between the seat and the recess. Since the internal space is formed in the storage part, and the storage part is covered from the rear with a lid member and the lid member is locked, a sufficient height dimension of the storage part can be obtained. This has the advantage that not only the storage space of the storage section is expanded, but also equipment can be taken in and out easily. Further, since the lower end of the storage box is brought into contact with the recessed portion, and the upper end is brought into contact with the lower surface of the seat,
Compared to a case where a storage space is simply formed under the seat, this prevents the cushioning properties of the seat from increasing locally, providing good seating comfort for the occupants, and improving the seating comfort of the occupants. This will not cause any discomfort when sitting on the seat. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a structure of a storage part that can provide a good seating comfort for the occupant while realizing a storage part with a sufficient height dimension.

Furthermore, if the recess formed in the rear fender is formed in the vicinity of the top of the rear fender in a substantially horizontal direction as in the embodiment described in claim 2, rainwater flowing down on the rear fender during rain can be contained. It is possible to prevent the liquid from flowing into the parts.
