Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a tricycle in which a front body on the side of one front wheel swings left and right with respect to a rear body on the side of two rear wheels.

The present applicant has previously provided a small-sized motor tricycle that is approximately equivalent to a motorcycle, which has one front wheel and two rear wheels, and the front body of the front one wheel swings from side to side relative to the rear body of the two rear wheels. .

In the above-mentioned tricycles, when a loading platform or the like is installed at the rear of the swinging vehicle body, the width of the low floor and the rear part is different, and if the width of the rear part is large, the rear part protrudes to the side, and the traveling It is common sense for passengers to keep the width of the front floor in mind when driving, so always keep in mind that there is a width that is greater than the width of the floor when driving. It is difficult to drive because it is necessary to perform driving 2, and if there is a leg shield on the front or left and right turn signals in addition to the above, it would be difficult to drive because it would protrude from other parts. There is a possibility that the same inconvenience will occur.

The present invention has been made to improve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to improve the front cover, leg shield, floor,
To provide a three-wheeled motor vehicle whose width is approximately the same from the short front end to the rear end of a vehicle body composed of a cargo platform, etc., which makes driving and running sensation easier, and facilitates passing through the vehicle.

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

FIG. 1 is a side view of the tricycle, and FIG. 2 is a plan view thereof.

The tricycle 1 includes a head tube 3 at the front end of a frame 2, which supports a front fork 4 that supports a front wheel 5 in a freely steerable manner, and a steering stem 6, which is connected to the upper end of the front fork 4 and extends upwardly. A handle 7 is provided at the center of the handle 7, and a cover 9 is provided in the center of the handle 7, which also serves as a cover for the meter unit 8 and a cover for the headlight unit. A substantially horizontal lower 2b, a center tube 2 that also serves as a seat post rack rising upward from the rear end of the lower 2b.
C1 Seat rail 2 extending rearward from the upper end of this
d kami naru. A joint 10 is provided under the rear of the lower 2b, and a power unit 1 is connected to the rear vehicle body BY behind the center tube 2c and below the seat rail 2d via a support shaft 11.
Two rear wheels 13 and 13 are provided on both sides of the power unit 120, and are connected to the power unit 2 so as to be swingable left and right. A cover 14 which also serves as a fender for the rear wheels 13 and 13 is provided on the upper part of the power unit 12.

Front cover is surrounding the steering stem 6
is provided between the head tube and the cover 9 at the center of the handle, and the folding cover 15 is provided with leg seal parts 16.16v on the left and right sides projecting to the left and right. An undercover 17 is provided from the lower part of the cover 15 to cover the top of the down tube 2a, and a footrest floor 18 extending rearward from the rear end thereof extends backward, and the floor 18 covers the top of the lower tube 2c. A seat post cover 19 is provided upwardly protruding from the rear of the floor 18, and the seat post cover 19 is provided at the middle part of the floor 18 in the width direction, and is smaller than the width of the floor 18, and the seat post cover 19 is provided at the middle part. A rear cover 20 is installed diagonally rearward and upward from the rear end of the floor 18, and a cargo platform 21 is provided extending rearward from the upper end of the rear cover 20. The cargo platform 21 is provided above the rear end of the rear wheel 13, and the seat post cover 19 A sheet 22 is provided on top.

The width of the floor 18 above is approximately equal to the width between the rear wheels 13 and 13, the width of the floor 18 is approximately equal to the width of the carrier cover 20, the width of the rear loading platform 21, and the width of the front cover 15. The width of the left and right leg shields 16, 16 is also approximately equal to the width of the floor 18. Therefore, front lever 15
, under cover 17, floor 18, rear cover 20,
The front vehicle body A constituted by the loading platform 21 has approximately the same width, preferably the same width, from the front end to the rear end.

By the way, handle covers 23 and 23 are provided on the left and right sides of the cover 9 at the center of the handle.
3.Cover 9 for the headlight unit, etc. in the center of 23
For example, there are left and right front blinkers 24 on the front of both sides of the
24, and the front blinkers 24, 24 are thus disposed within the width of the floor 18. On the rear end wall 21a of the loading platform 21, there are rear blinkers 2 on the left and right.
5°25 is provided, and a tail light 26 is provided in the center. In this way, the rear blinkers 25, 25 are arranged within the width of the floor 18.

Next, to explain its functions and effects in detail, the front body, which swings from side to side, has approximately the same width from the front end to the rear end, and therefore, when driving or driving, the front width and rear width are approximately the same. There is no need to keep in mind that the front and rear widths are different, and since the front and rear are the same width, you can drive comfortably and without worrying about the width. This means that when passing through the vehicle, one may unconsciously consider the width of the floor area and take into consideration the surroundings. This is different from the case where the loading platform was installed in the rear vehicle body so that it could not be swung because it swung together with the floor.
You can pass through by feeling the width of the floor. In this way, it is possible to obtain a comfortable driving sensation, and since it has two loading platforms, the practicality of this type of tricycle can also be increased.

The present invention has many advantages 2 as described above.
