Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a maintenance lid device for a scooter.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a scooter type motorcycle, as shown in FIG. 9, a leg shield 2 covers the front portion of an underbone type vehicle body frame 1 which is curved in a substantially U shape. The leg shield 2 has a leg glia shield 4 provided with a step board 3, and a side cover 5 is provided at the rear of the leg shield 2 to form the exterior of the vehicle body. 6 indicates a sheet.

An engine 8 which constitutes a power unit 7 is installed inside the legglia shield 4, and a plug of the engine 8 is located just inside the legglia shield 4. Therefore, for maintenance such as plug replacement, as shown in FIG.
A window hole 9 is formed in the window, a maintenance lid 10 is provided in the window hole 9, and the maintenance lid 10 is provided when necessary.
You can remove it for maintenance.

The conventional maintenance lid 10 is shaped so as to match a vertically long window hole 9 formed in the reggrier shield 4, and one end of the maintenance lid 10 is engaged with the inside of the window hole 9.
The other end is fastened by a screw 11 to a screw hole provided on the side of the window hole 9 for attachment.

[0005]

In the conventional maintenance lid 10, when the maintenance lid 10 is removed and maintenance is performed, the screw 11 fastening the maintenance lid 10 is removed, and one end of the maintenance lid 10 is connected to the window. After pulling out from the hole 9, it is necessary to remove the other end from the window hole 9.
It is not easy to remove 0.

Therefore, conventionally, the Regglia Shield 4 has been used.
A recess 12 is formed on one end side of the window hole 9, and a finger is inserted into the recess 12 so that one end of the maintenance lid 10 is hooked and removed. When the maintenance lid 10 is attached, the recess 12 appears on the surface of the reggrier shield 4, which is inferior in appearance, and there is a problem in that the design is restricted and the degree of freedom in design is restricted.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the maintenance lid automatically pops out from the surface of the Regglia shield by simply loosening the screw to facilitate the removal, and also to prevent a recess for a handle or the like. An object of the present invention is to provide a maintenance lid device for a scooter, which eliminates the need for providing it and can improve the design and the flexibility of the design.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a scooter maintenance lid device according to the present invention is provided with a regria shield mounted on a vehicle body frame, and maintenance of an engine portion formed on the regria shield is performed. In a scooter in which a window lid that can be closed is closed by a maintenance lid, an engaging portion that engages one end of the maintenance lid is provided at one end of the window hole formed in the Regglia shield, and a lid mounting screw hole is provided at the other end. ,
At least one elastic claw is provided on the window hole side or the maintenance lid side near the screw hole, and the maintenance lid is pushed out by the restoring force of the elastic claw when the screw is loosened.

[0009]

The window hole is closed by engaging one end of the maintenance lid with the engaging portion of one end of the window hole of the Regglia shield and screwing the other end with a screw.
When the screw is loosened during maintenance, the end of the maintenance lid can be easily and easily removed by holding the end protruding from the window hole by the restoring force of the elastic claw.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In describing the embodiments of the present invention, the same parts as those of the conventional scooter type motorcycle will be designated by the same reference numerals.

In the scooter type motorcycle of this embodiment,
Underbody type vehicle body frame 1 as shown in FIG.
The front part of the body frame 1 is covered with a leg shield 2, and the rear part of the body frame 1 is a side cover 5.
Covered with. Reference numeral 6 is a sheet.

The leg shield 2 is, as shown in FIG.
Red shield cover 15, leg front shield 1
6, the leg shield shield 17 and the leg shield shield 4, and a leg shield rack 19 is attached to the leg shield cover 15. The leg rear shield 4 is integrally formed with the step board 3 forming a footrest. The leg rear shield 4 is extended rearward from the lower end portion of the leg shield cover 15, and a leg rear portion 20 rising rearward and upward is formed behind the leg rear shield 4. The step board 3 and the reglia portion 20 may be formed separately.

On the other hand, the side cover 5 is formed by combining the left and right side lower covers 22 and 23 and the upper frame cover 24, as shown in FIG. A battery holder cap 25 is attached to the right side lower cover 23, and an upper cover lid 26 is attached to the rear end of the upper frame cover 24. The upper cover lid 26 is openably and closably locked by a lock assembly 27.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, a window hole 9 for maintenance is formed in the reggrier shield 4,
The maintenance lid 10 is attached so as to cover the window hole 9. As shown in the partial cross section of FIG. 5 at the lower part of the maintenance lid 10, the claw 3 is bent inward at the lower end in an inverted L shape.
0 is formed, and the claw 30 is engaged by being pushed into the engaging hole 31 formed in the lower inward flange portion (rib portion) of the window hole 9, and the engaging portion 33 is formed. A nut 38 is provided in the bridge portion 34 that crosses the upper portion of the window hole 9, and a screw 36 is screwed into the screw hole 37 of the nut 38 from the outer surface side of the maintenance lid 10 through the attachment hole 35. The nut 38 is H-shaped as shown separately in FIG. 6 and is fitted and fixed to the fitting fitting portion 38 of the bridge portion 34.

The bridge portion 34 at the position where the nut 38 is attached is formed integrally with the Regglia shield 4 made of polypropylene (PP), for example.
Two elastic claws 40, 40 are integrally or integrally formed on the left and right lower portions of the. The tips of the elastic claws 40, 40 project forward, and when the maintenance lid 10 is fitted,
As shown in FIG. 7, hit the inner surface of the maintenance lid 10,
Maintenance lid 10 when tightened with screws 36
It is pushed by and bends.

The elastic claws 40, 40 may be provided on the inner surface side of the maintenance lid 10, or separate parts may be attached to the elastic claws 40, 40. The elastic claws 40 do not necessarily have to be provided as a pair, and may be one claw body.

Therefore, when the maintenance lid 10 is attached, the lower claw 3 of the maintenance lid 10 is attached.
0 is pushed into the engaging portion 33 of the leg reaper shield 4 and then the screw 36 is screwed into the screw hole 37 of the nut 38 through the mounting hole 35 of the maintenance lid 10, the elastic claws 40 and 40 are maintained as shown in FIG. The screw 3 is pressed by the inner surface of the lid 10 and elastically bends.
It is attached in a sealed state by tightening 6

To remove the maintenance lid 10 for maintenance such as replacement of the plug 8a of the engine 8, loosen the screw 36, and the elastic force of the restoring force of the elastic claws 40 causes the maintenance lid 10 to be pushed outward. And the upper part of the maintenance lid 10 has a window hole 9
You can easily and easily remove it from the outside by hanging it on your hand. Even when the elastic claws 40, 40 are provided on the side of the maintenance lid 10, the elastic claws 40 are not provided as shown in FIG.
Hits the bridge portion 34 and has a similar function.

[0020]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the one end of the maintenance lid is pushed out so as to pop out from the inside of the window only by loosening the screw, the maintenance lid can be easily removed at the time of removal, and therefore, the handle hole for removal can be provided. There is no need to provide a dent, there is no design restriction, and the degree of freedom in design can be expanded. Further, since the elastic claw can be integrally formed at the time of forming the reglia shield or the maintenance lid, it is not necessary to provide a separate component such as a spring, and no special assembly process is required, so that the cost is not required. There is.
