2. Description of the Related Art Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 4-208682 discloses that a rear lid which can be opened and closed is provided on a rear wall of a leg shield, a storage part is provided in a leg shield in front of the lid, and a rear part of the storage part which faces the lid. There is shown a storage device for a scooter type vehicle in which a small lid that can be opened and closed is provided on a wall portion, and when the small lid is opened, a battery can be removed from behind a leg shield.

[0003]

As described above, when the lid and the storage section that is opened and closed by the lid are provided in the leg shield, the article in the storage section is opened by opening the lid while riding. It is convenient because it can be put in and out. However, if it is located in the back of the storage section, it is difficult to find and remove it. Further, the structure in which a small lid is further provided inside the lid complicates the structure. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve these problems.

[0004]

A storage device for a scooter-type vehicle according to the present invention is a storage device for a scooter-type vehicle having a rear lid openable and closable on a rear wall of a leg shield, wherein the storage container is integrally and upwardly opened inside the lid. A concave portion is formed.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, a storage portion is provided in the leg shield in front of the storage recess, and a part of a rear wall of the storage portion is also used as a front wall of the storage recess. it can.

[0006]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the storage recess is provided integrally and upwardly on the front surface of the lid, so that when the lid is opened, the storage recess is integrally inclined rearward, so that the storage recess is inclined from the upper opening. You can immediately see the inside of the storage recess. Therefore, the contents can be easily checked, and the article can be easily taken out.
