Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a scooter type vehicle carrier, and more particularly to a carrier provided on a footrest surface in front of a seat.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a carrier for a scooter type vehicle for holding an object to be stored on a footrest surface, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-17176.
The one disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 9 is known. The carrier of this scooter type vehicle is provided behind the footrest,
An object to be stored is held by being sandwiched between a rear vertical wall that rises from the rear end of the footrest toward the front end of the seat and a pressing body that is pressed in the vertical wall direction by a spring.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional scooter type vehicle carrier, since the carrier is arranged at the rear of the footrest, for example, in order to pull out the carrier with the foot, use the sole or the instep. The pressing body must be pushed open, and the upper body must be bent forward and twisted in order to place an object to be stored therein, which is difficult to operate.

Further, since the object to be stored is positioned close to the swelling side of the occupant, and the carrier mounting portion and the footrest surface are close to each other, it is difficult to secure a sufficient space at the feet, and the habitability of the feet is reduced. Be hindered.

The present application has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a carrier having excellent operability by allowing the carrier to be pulled out by a simple operation.

[0006]

To solve the above problems, the present invention is a scooter type vehicle in which a footrest surface is formed in front of a seat and a vertical wall is formed between a handlebar and the footrest, and a carrier is attached to the scooter type vehicle. In the carrier, the carrier comprises a frame body provided with a pivotal support portion in the vicinity of the joint between the footrest surface and the front vertical wall, and a push-down portion for biasing the frame body rearward about the pivotal support portion. Become. At this time, it is preferable that the frame body is always biased forward with the pivotal support as the center of rotation, and an elastic member is provided on the vertical wall in contact with the frame body.

[0007]

[Function] The toe is placed on the push-down part of the carrier, the frame is pushed down to rotate the frame rearward to form a space in which an object to be stored is placed, and then the object is placed in this space and held. . Further, when the stored object is taken out, the frame body rotates forward and comes into contact with the vertical wall to be accommodated. At this time, if an elastic member is provided on the vertical wall, the impact at the time of contact can be absorbed.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention having the above-mentioned structure exhibits the following effects. According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a scooter type vehicle having a footrest surface formed in front of a seat and a vertical wall formed between the handlebar and the footrest, wherein a carrier is attached to the scooter type vehicle, wherein the carrier joins the footrest surface and the front vertical wall. Since it comprises a frame body having a pivotal support portion near the portion and a push-down portion for biasing the frame body rearward with the pivotal support portion as a rotation center, the toe is simply stored by pushing down the push-down portion of the carrier with the toes. A space for placing an object can be formed, and an object to be stored can be placed in this space while the passenger is in a riding posture, and it is not necessary to bend or bend the upper body as in the conventional case, and the operation is easy. In addition, the items to be stored are located in front of the shin, not on the side of the bulge, and a sufficiently large space is formed between the carrier mounting part and the footrest surface, which impairs the comfortability of the feet. It will not be done.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the frame body is always biased forward with the pivot portion as the center of rotation, the frame body rotates forward and abuts against the vertical wall when the object to be stored is taken out, and the leg shield. It fits inside and doesn't get in the way of your feet.

According to the third aspect of the invention, since the elastic member is provided on the vertical wall that comes into contact with the carrier, even if the frame body is rotated forward and comes into contact with the vertical wall when the stored object is taken out, the frame is contacted. The interference sound between the body and the vertical wall can be reduced, and the vertical wall can be prevented from being damaged.
