Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device for attaching and supporting a headlight unit, meter unit, etc. of a motorcycle, tricycle, etc. to the front of the vehicle.

A headlight, a speedometer, a tachometer, and other meters are attached to the front of a motorcycle or the like. Conventionally, the headlight was attached to a dedicated stay, and the speedometer etc. was also attached and supported by a dedicated stay to the bridge below the first floor that pivots the front fork. Since the left and right members only protrude in parallel, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the plate to increase lateral rigidity, which increases the weight and the number of parts. However, there are disadvantages such as an increase in the number of man-hours for assembly, and the need for a separate stay for meters, which increases the number of parts and the number of man-hours for assembly.

The present invention has been made to improve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to horizontally install a member that supports a meter unit between left and right members that support a headlight unit,
The headlights and meters attached to the front of the vehicle are mounted and supported by a single bracket, reducing the number of parts and assembly man-hours, while also increasing the strength, rigidity, and weight of the bracket. The object of the present invention is to provide a support device for a lamp body, etc., which can also be used as a mounting base for electrical parts and for mounting and supporting a headlight cover.

Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 shows a cutaway side view of the main part in the installed state, and Fig. 2 shows a plan view with the meter removed. These bridges 3 and 4 are pivotally supported to the head tube by a steering stem (not shown) so as to be freely steerable, and the upper member of the front fork (not shown)
For example, a fork pipe is supported, a front wheel is supported by a front fork as is known, and a handle (not shown) is attached on the top bridge.

The bracket 10 is as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5,
4 shows a side view, and FIG. 5 shows a plan view. The bracket 10 includes a pair of left and right headlight unit support pieces 11° 11 made of press-formed steel plates, and the upper ends of the support pieces 11 are symmetrical. Bent part 1
1a increases rigidity, and each has a planar shape with an intermediate portion 11b extending symmetrically outward to form a concave shape, and a front end portion 11c located inside than the intermediate portion 11b and protruding forward in parallel.

The rear part 11d has a planar shape and is symmetrically inclined inward from the rear end of the intermediate part 1ib, and a pair of vertical rod-shaped support stays 12 and 12 are fixed to the rear ends of the left and right support pieces. 12
, 12, a cross stay 13 is horizontally fixed between the lower portions of the
A horn stay 14 is set up on a cross stay 13, and a horn 31 is attached and supported.

A flange-shaped stopper 5 is fixed to the lower end of the support stays 12, 120, and left and right support pieces 11, 110
Electrical component support base pieces 16.16 made of steel plates are disposed at the lower part of the inner surface of the middle part and rear part, and the pace pieces 16.16 are joined at the ends to the inner surface of the middle part 11b and the inner surface of the rear part 114 which is inclined inward. The planar shape of the support piece 11.11, the bent portion 11a at the upper end, and the base pieces 16, 16 increase the rigidity and strength of the support piece. On the base piece 16.16, for example, a cover, a blinker relay, and other electrical parts 32 are mounted.
・Equipped with and supported.

The bases of headlight cover stays 17.17 are fixed to the outer surfaces of the intermediate parts of the support pieces 1i, ti, and the stays 17 each have an L-shape with the upper part bent outward, and a mounting hole 17 at the tip.
4= is provided and screwed to the mounting stay 33b provided inside the side wall 33a of the headlight cover 33. Attachment pieces 18.18 are fixed to one ends of the left and right support stays 12.12 so as to protrude forward, and the support stays 12.12 are attached to the front left and right of the top bridge 3 through the attachment holes 18a of the mounting pieces 18.18.
Fix the screw 34 at one end of the support stay 12, 120
) The TVA portions 12a are engaged with the support holes JaKp provided on the left and right sides of the bottom bridge 4, the height direction is regulated by the stoppers 15, and the brackets 10 are mounted and supported on the upper and lower bridges.

A cross plate 19, which is a meter bracket, is installed horizontally between the upper parts of the left and right support pieces IL11, and the cross plate 1
9 is a mounting piece 19a formed by bending and hanging down the rear portions of both ends, and is joined to the outer surface of the intermediate portion 11b of the support piece, and the bracket has both ends 19b bent to form a front-inverted channel shape, and has strength,
The main body 19 between the support pieces 11 and 11 has a structure that increases rigidity.
c is inclined forward and upward, and a meter unit 35 is mounted and supported on this main body 19c.

The above stay 10 includes left and right support pieces 11, 11, and a stay 1.
2, 12, cross member 13, pace 16, 16, each mounting stay 14, 17, 18, and cross plate 19 are welded together and prepared as a unit.

Front ends 11 of the left and right support pieces 11.11 of the bracket 10
4, with the headlight unit 36 facing between 11 and 4,
The stays 37 provided on both sides of this are overlapped left and right so as to face the inside of the front end 11C, so that one end of the stay 37 corresponds to the bent portion 11a at the upper end of the front end 11C as shown in FIG. The bent portion 37a is bent at 37a and fastened with a bolt/nut 38.

11a prevents the headlight unit 36 from rotating, and increases the strength and rigidity of the stay 37.

As is clear from the above, according to the present invention, headlights and meters can be attached by simply attaching one unitized bracket to the vehicle body, and the number of parts and installation man-hours can be reduced. Furthermore, headlight covers are also commonly mounted with support, and the shape of the support piece, electrical component mounting base, and cross plate increase lateral rigidity, and the use of thin steel plates increases the lateral rigidity. It is possible to obtain a bracket that is advantageous in terms of strength, is advantageous in terms of weight reduction, couplers and other electrical components can be centrally arranged and supported on the bracket, and the harness can be wired under -F, making it easier to route. It has many advantages, such as being advantageous as well.
