Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle, a small case and a windscreen which are mainly provided in a handle portion of a motorcycle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a windshield has been provided in front of a motorcycle to prevent rain and wind from being received by a rider while the motorcycle is traveling. Specifically, the windshield is a vertically long thin transparent plate that is curved so as to follow the shape of the front surface of the handlebar cover of the motorcycle, and is directly attached to the front face of the handlebar cover by bolts or the like. .

[0003]

However, even though the windshield described above is a thin plate member, it receives a large amount of resistance to wind during traveling, so if the windshield is directly attached to the handle cover as described above, the attachment thereof will be difficult. There is a problem that the resistance is concentrated on the part and the durability life of the windshield itself is shortened. Not only fixing the windshield with bolts but also bonding the part that is in contact with the front surface of the handle cover will disperse the resistance and solve the above problem, but in the case of motorcycles and other vehicles, There is a strong demand for the windshield to be removable so that it can be used only to block rainwater on rainy days or to be used only when driving in winter to prevent cold weather. Is not preferable. Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a windshield that solves the above-mentioned problems, can be removed, and can disperse the resistance received by a mounting portion due to running wind or the like, and that the rigidity at the time of mounting becomes high, At the same time, it is an object of the present invention to provide an accessory case that can be attached to a vehicle such as a motorcycle which has been conventionally said to have a small storage space.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the accessory case with a windshield for a vehicle according to the present invention has a storage body extending in the vehicle width direction attached to a handle portion of the vehicle. It is characterized in that the front portion is configured so that the lower end portion of the windshield can be held, and the windshield is detachably attached to the storage body.

[0005]

In the accessory case with a windshield for a vehicle of the present invention constructed as described above, the container itself is attached to the handle portion of the vehicle. Then, the user uses the windshield by sandwiching the windshield on the front surface of the storage body as necessary. Since only the windshield can be removed from the container when it is not needed, the container as a small container can always be used alone. When the windshield is attached, the lower end is clamped by the front surface of the housing, so that the resistance due to the running wind or the like is dispersed over the clamped portion.
