Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an improvement of a motorcycle footrest on which a rider on a motorcycle rests his or her feet.

Generally, in a motorcycle, a note rest on which a rider places his/her feet is provided protruding from the lower left and right sides of the vehicle body.

The base of the footrest is pivotally supported on a holder in an upright position, and is used by lying down laterally only when it is in use.When not in use, it is raised upward and stored, and the button is pressed.

The raised and lowered position can be held by a spring.

Usually, the structure is as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a footrest 3 is inserted into a horizontal hole 2 provided on the side of a tubular holder 1
The horizontal hole 4 at the base of the footrest 3 is aligned with the horizontal hole 4 at the base of the footrest 3, and a support shaft 5 is inserted therethrough to pivotally support the footrest 3 so as to be able to rise and fall freely.

Further, a blind hole 6 is provided at the base of the footrest 3, a coil spring I and a ball 8 are inserted into the blind hole 6, and the ball 8 is brought into elastic contact with the inner surface of the holder 1 by the coil spring 7. The ball 8 is fitted into the recess 9 provided to maintain the raised position.

The blind hole 6 may be provided on the holder 1 side, as shown in FIG.

With this structure, cutting powder etc. may remain in the blind hole 6, which may cause poor movement of the ball.Furthermore, when assembling the footrest 3 to the holder 1, the coil spring 7 and ball 8 may be inserted into the blind hole 6 in advance. It is necessary to proceed with the assembly while inserting it and pressing it so that it does not pop out, and the assembly process is troublesome and time-consuming.

This idea has been improved in view of this point, and is described in the following 4th section.
An embodiment of the present invention shown in the figures will be described.

Align the horizontal hole 4 at the base of the footrest 3 with the horizontal hole 2 on the side surface of the tubular holder 1, insert the support shaft 5, and attach the footrest 3.
is supported on a shaft so that it can be raised and lowered freely.

A through hole 6 is provided on one side of the holder 1 in line with the horizontal hole 2.

A ball 8 and a spring 7 are inserted into the through hole 6, and a closing plate 10 is applied to the outside.

The closing plate 10 is inserted into the support shaft 5 and held by a nut 11 screwed onto the end of the support shaft 5.

The ball 8 comes into elastic contact with the side surface of the footrest 3, and in the raised position, the ball 8 fits into a recess 9 provided in the footrest 3 to maintain the position.

The effect will be explained.

Since the through holes 6 provided in the holder 1 into which the balls 8 and springs 7 are inserted are penetrating, drilling work is easy and no cutting powder remains, so the movement of the balls 6 is not hindered.

Further, after the footrest 3 is pivotally supported on the holder 1 with the support shaft 5, the ball 8 and the coil spring 7 are inserted into the through hole 6, and are pressed with the closing plate 10, and the closing plate 10 is attached to the support shaft 5 with the nut 11. Since the ball 8 can be held in place, the ball 8 will not come out during assembly, making assembly easier.

Furthermore, the through hole 6 has a sufficient length compared to a blind hole,
The holder 1 can be made thinner and smaller.

Since the end face of the coil spring 7 is received by the closing plate 10, the receiving seat is stable on a flat surface.

As explained above, this invention is a holder in which the footrest is pivotally supported so that it can be raised and lowered by aligning the horizontal hole of the footrest base with the horizontal hole of the tubular holder and inserting the support shaft. A through hole is provided on one side of the horizontal hole in line with the horizontal hole, a ball and a coil spring are inserted into the through hole, a closing plate is attached to the outside, and the closing plate is inserted through the spindle to hold the ball. The ball and coil spring are made to come into elastic contact with the side of the footrest base and fit into the recess, so after the footrest is pivoted to the holder, the ball and coil spring can be inserted into the through hole and stopped with the closing plate, making assembly easy. Work becomes easier and work efficiency improves.

In addition, the through-holes do not get clogged with cutting powder, allowing the ball to move reliably, and the holder can be made thinner and lighter.

Moreover, since the coil spring is also supported by the closing plate, the surface of the receiver is stable, and furthermore, the closing plate can be stopped with the support shaft, which saves time and effort.
