An openable lid is provided to maintain the battery from inside the storage box.

[0003]

By the way, all of the above-mentioned prior arts require a special dedicated member such as a band or a lid for fixing the battery. However, if such a dedicated member is provided, the number of parts and the number of assembling steps increase, so a structure that does not require such a dedicated member is desired.

Further, when a plurality of batteries and other electric components are fixed, since they are fixed individually,
Since the mounting locations are scattered over a wide range of the vehicle body, much time and effort is required for assembly and maintenance. Therefore, it is also desired that a plurality of electric components can be fixed together. The present application aims to satisfy such a need.

[0005]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a storage box below the seat,
Further, in the scooter in which the electrical components are arranged below the storage box, and the storage box and the electrical components are respectively supported by the vehicle body frame, the electrical components are accommodated in the holder supported by the vehicle body frame, and the electrical components are mounted from above. It is characterized in that it is fixed by being pressed by a storage box via an elastic member.

At this time, the holder can be formed integrally with the step floor disposed below the storage box. Further, the electrical components can be housed in a plurality of upper and lower stages in the holder, the uppermost electrical component can be fixed by the storage box, and the lower electrical component can be pressed and fixed by the upper electrical component. At this time, an elastic material may be interposed between the upper and lower electric components. Also,
In each of these cases, a battery is included as an electrical component,
In addition, the holder can be a battery holder.

[0007]

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described. When the electrical component is housed in a holder supported by the vehicle body frame and the electrical component is pressed from above by a storage box via an elastic member, the electrical component is restricted from moving upward and fixed. Therefore, a special member such as a band or a lid for fixing the battery can be eliminated, and the number of parts and the number of assembling steps can be reduced. At this time, if the holder is formed integrally with the step floor disposed below the storage box, the step floor can be effectively used.

Further, when the electrical components are housed in a plurality of upper and lower stages in the holder, the uppermost electrical components are fixed by the storage box, and the lower electrical components are pressed and fixed by the upper electrical components, a plurality of electrical components are fixed. Since they can be fixed together in a three-dimensional manner, assembly and maintenance are facilitated, and wiring between electrical components can be shortened and simplified. Moreover, also in this case, it is possible to eliminate the need for a special dedicated fixing member for each electric component.

However, if an elastic material is interposed between the upper and lower electric components, the electric components can be more reliably fixed by vibration isolation, and the electric components can be prevented from directly contacting each other, thereby preventing abnormal noise from being generated. it can. When the battery is included as the electrical component, the battery can be advantageously fixed and the battery holder that is originally provided as the holder can be used. In addition, when a plurality of electric components are put together, it becomes easy to collect the battery mainly and the wiring becomes simple. Moreover, by arranging the heavy battery at the uppermost stage, each electric component can be fixed securely.
