Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a low-slung floor provided between the front and rear wheels of a vehicle such as a two-wheeled vehicle or a three-wheeled vehicle.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventional low-level step floors for two-wheeled vehicles, three-wheeled vehicles, etc. are formed to have substantially equal widths in the front and rear directions. The width is wide enough to allow enough room even when both feet are placed together on the step floor. However, the wider the floor is set, the better the driver's comfort when sitting, but on the other hand, the lower step floor that is installed between the front and rear wheels of vehicles such as cars and tricycles makes it difficult for the driver's feet to touch the ground. The width of the border floor is formed to be approximately equal to the seat width, and the rear part of the border floor is widened on both sides to form a rear footrest to facilitate the driver's feet on the ground. To provide a low-level step floor for vehicles such as two-wheeled vehicles and three-wheeled vehicles, which secures a space for footrest and also allows the feet to be placed at the rear.

An embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a swinging motor tricycle will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Front body 1 has leg shield 2. Fuchitsubu floor 3. A rear frame 4 is connected and formed in a concave shape, a head pipe 5 passes through the front part of the leg shield 2, a front wheel 7 is pivotally supported at the lower end via a front fork 6, and a handle 8 is provided at the upper end. installed. A headlight 9, a front turn signal lO, a meter case 11 for housing a meter, etc. are provided at the attachment part of the handle 8, and a storage compartment 12 is provided at the rear surface of the leg shield 2. The substantially front surface of the rear frame 4 forms a wide sea 1-bost 4a,
A seat 13 having a width substantially equal to the width of the seat post 4a is attached from the top of the seat post 4a to the middle of the upper surface of the carrier frame 4, and a carrier 14 is provided at the rear of the seat 13. Tail light 15 on the back of rear frame T14
and a rear blinker 16.

The rear body 17 is separated from the front body 1 and has a pair of left and right rear shafts 19 that are driven by power units 1 (not shown) housed in a power unit cover 18, and the rear part of the front body 1 is connected to this rear body 17 (not shown). In addition to being buffered and supported by the rear suspension, a swing axis 2 is provided to allow the front body 1 to swing from side to side.
Connected with 0.

Here, in the present invention, the front part of the step floor 3 is
The width of the front footrest 3a is approximately equal to the width of the front footrest 13, and the rear part of the front footrest 3a is connected to the seatpost 4.
At substantially both sides of a, the width is widened on both sides to a width substantially equal to the width between the outer surfaces of the left and right rear shafts 19 to form rear footrest portions 3b. The front edge 3c of the rear footrest 3b is preferably a slope facing diagonally forward of the vehicle body.

In the case of a two-wheeled vehicle, the width of the rear footrest 3b is the maximum vehicle width of the two-wheeled vehicle or the width of the front footrest 3a plus a foot width.

As mentioned above, the width of the front footrest 3a is set to be approximately equal to the width of the seat 13, which is approximately equal to the width of the driver's hips, so that when the driver places his or her feet on the front footrest 3a, The front footrest 3a can be placed on the front footrest 3a in a natural posture, and the width of the front footrest 3a is set to be approximately equal to the width of the seat 13, which is narrower than the width of a conventional rimmed floor. Therefore, when the driver puts his feet on the ground, he can easily do so by simply shifting his feet slightly to the side.

Further, since the front edge 3c of the rear footrest portion 3b is arranged relatively rearward, it does not interfere with the driver's placing his or her feet on the ground, and the driver can also place his or her feet on the driving core portion 3b.

Further, when the present invention is applied to the rocking type motor tricycle of the above-described embodiment, when the driver steps on the ground near the side edge of the front footrest 3a and moves the vehicle forward, the rear footrest 3a moves forward. The front edge 3C of 3b comes into contact with the foot and thereby avoids the foot, thereby preventing the foot from coming into contact with the rear wheel.

As described above, in the present invention, in a low-slung floor provided between the front and rear wheels of a vehicle such as a two-wheeled vehicle or a three-wheeled vehicle, the width of the stepped floor is formed to be approximately equal to the seat width, and the rear part of the stepped floor is widened on both sides. By forming a rear footrest, it is easy for the driver to place his/her feet on the ground, and an appropriate footrest is secured at the front of the floor, and it is also possible to place one's feet on the rear footrest. It has the advantage of being able to - Incidentally, the present invention can be applied not only to two-wheeled vehicles and three-wheeled vehicles, but also to vehicles such as four-wheeled vehicles having a low floor and a flat floor.
