JPH0648340A - Horn installation structure for scooter - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the installation bolt and the bracket for a horn from contacting a wiring harness, cable, etc., in accordance with the revolution of a steering wheel, use parts in common, simplify the horn installation structure, and secure the sound quantity of the horn. CONSTITUTION:Bosses 4a and 4b which are integrally shaped with a front leg shield 1 are projectingly installed on the periphery of a horn hole 3 inside the front leg shield 1 of a scooter, and a horn 2 is installed onto the bosses 4a and 4b through a bracket 11, directly facing to the horn hole 3.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a horn attached to the front part of a scooter type motorcycle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a mounting structure of a horn (hereinafter abbreviated as a horn) mounted on the front portion of a conventional scooter type two-wheeled vehicle, for example, as shown in FIG. The horn 2 is fastened and attached to the horn mounting bracket 6 provided in front of the horn with bolts 7 or the like. Brackets 8 and 9 are fixedly provided on the head pipe 5, and the brackets 8 and 9 are used to hold the front leg shield 1 and to attach an optional front basket. Further, in FIG. 2, 10 is a seat frame portion of the vehicle body. Further, 13 is a plate fixed to the horn 2, and the horn 2 is attached to the horn mounting bracket 6
The horn 2 is fastened to the horn hole 3 formed in the front leg shield 1 so as to face the horn hole 3 formed in the front leg shield 1.

[0003]

However, wiring harnesses and cables are concentrated around the inside and outside of the brackets 6, 8 and 9 described above (not shown), and the handle attached to the upper portion of the head pipe 5. Since they rotate together with the handle as they rotate (not shown), it is necessary to pay close attention to the design so that the horn mounting bracket 6 or the tip of the bolt 7 does not come into contact with the wiring harness, cables, or the like. It was

Further, the position of the horn hole 3 provided in the front leg shield 1 is set to a different position depending on the vehicle model from the design standpoint. Since the horn 2 needs to be provided, the size and shape of the plate 13 must be changed accordingly, and there is a problem that many types of the plate 13 are required.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and the horn mounting bolts and the like do not come into contact with the wiring harness, cables and the like as the handle rotates, so that the parts are made common and the horn mounting structure is simplified. It is intended to provide a scooter mounting structure for a scooter capable of ensuring the horn volume.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a boss formed integrally with the front leg shield inside the front leg shield of the scooter and around the horn hole. The horn is attached to the boss via the bracket, facing the horn hole.

[0007]

[Function] Since the horn mounting structure is as described above, the wiring harness and cables do not come into contact with the horn mounting bracket, which improves the safety and allows a new mounting of the horn due to differences in vehicle types and design changes. It is not necessary to change the bracket, and the parts can be shared and simplified.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 1
FIG. 1A is a side view showing a state in which the horn 2 is attached to the front leg shield 1, and FIG. 1A is a schematic rear view thereof.

In FIG. 1 (a), bosses 4a and 4b corresponding to each other are frontally provided in a space inside a front leg shield 1 attached to a head pipe (not shown) and in upper and lower portions around a horn hole 3. The horn mounting bracket 11 is provided so as to project integrally with the leg shield 1 and the back surface of the horn 2 is bolted to the bosses 4a and 4b in advance, and is mounted by the horn fastening screws 12a and 12b. The method of attaching the front leg shield 1 to the head pipe 5 is exactly the same as the conventional method.

Since the horn mounting structure as described above is adopted, there is no danger that members such as bolts for mounting the horn will come into contact with the wiring harness and cables, and the safety is improved, and the design of the front part of the scooter and The degree of freedom in layout can be improved.

Further, since the mounting position of the horn is mounted immediately after the horn hole 3 formed in the front leg shield 1, it is easy to secure the horn amount.
It is also possible to simplify and standardize parts.

In the above embodiment, two horn mounting bosses are provided and the horn mounting bracket 11 is a rectangular plate. However, if there are 3 to 4 bosses and the horn mounting bracket 11 is polygonal. Good. Further, the material of the front leg shield 1 may be resin or metal.

[0013]

Since the present invention has the horn mounting structure as described above, there is no danger that the horn mounting bracket or the horn mounting bolt will come into contact with the wiring harness or the cables as the handle rotates, thus ensuring safety. And the flexibility of the design and layout of the front part of the scooter can be improved.

Further, the horn amount can be easily secured, and the parts can be made common and simplified, so that a siphoning device mounting structure for the scooter can be simplified and unified.
