[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a rear box mounted on a two-wheeled vehicle such as a bicycle or a motorcycle. Note that the number of wheels is not limited to two-wheeled vehicles, and bicycles and motorcycles with three or more wheels are included as long as they have a saddle (a seating device for riding).

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The rear box is used, for example, by fixing it on the rear luggage carrier of the bicycle.In general, the box body is a box-shaped body with an open top, and the lid is swayed via a hinge on the front side. It is mounted so that it can be opened and closed dynamically.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 When the lid is opened, it hits the saddle, but normally, when the lid hits, the lid took an almost upright posture. As a result, the lid may fall down during the loading and unloading of articles. To prevent this, it is necessary to install the rear box between the saddle and the rear box with a space that is much larger than the dimension of the lid in the thickness direction, but this makes it unattractive. There was a defect.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is for a motorcycle or the like in which the lid does not fall down while the articles are being taken in and out, and the appearance does not deteriorate. The purpose is to provide a rear box.

[0005]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes the following technical means. That is, the present invention comprises a box-shaped box body with an open upper part that is fixed to the rear of a saddle of a motorcycle or the like, and a lid body that covers the upper portion of the box body. It is characterized in that it is swingably connected via a hinge part formed on the rear side of the box body.

[0006] The hinge portion is capable of forcibly inserting the pair of left and right pivotal shafts provided on one of the box body and the lid and the pivotal shafts provided on the other in the vertical or longitudinal direction. It can be configured by a combination of a pair of left and right bearing portions. Further, the hinge portion is configured by a combination of a pivot shaft provided on the lid side, a bearing portion provided on the box body side, and a shaft stopper attached to the pivot shaft. , The pair of left and right sandwiching pieces provided on the lid so as to sandwich the left and right side walls of the box body from the outside, and the bearing portions vertically penetrate the left and right corners of the bottom of the box body. Left and right passage grooves corresponding to the protruding shape of the pivot shaft, and left and right guide grooves that penetrate the box body side wall left and right to communicate vertically from the passage grooves to the holding height position of the pivot shaft. The shaft stopper has an engaging piece that abuts at least a pivot shaft supported in the guide groove of the bearing portion from below and crosses the upper portion of the passage groove back and forth. It can also be done.

A handle that stands up along the waist rest position on the rear of the saddle is provided on the front part of the lid in a closed state, or rises along the hip rest position on the rear part of the saddle on the front part of the box body. A waist rest can also be provided.

[0008]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, since the hinge portion is configured on the rear side of the box body, the lid never opens (opposite the saddle) (backward) and never hits the saddle. Therefore, the lid is not stopped in the upright state. If the pivot shaft and the bearing that form the hinge are integrally provided on the box body and the lid, respectively, the number of parts is reduced, the structure is simplified, and the assembly work is simplified. Is planned.

When the handle extending to the waist rest position is provided on the front part of the lid, the operability and appearance of the handle can be improved. Since the hinge part is provided on the rear side of the box body, the front part of the box body is an empty space, and a waist support body that can be actually used as a waist support may be provided at this part.
