Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a foot cutting board for a small two-wheeled vehicle.

Conventionally, in a step-through type small two-wheeled vehicle, that is, a small two-wheeled vehicle that has a large space formed between the handlebar and the seat and a substantially flat footboard on which both feet are placed on the bottom of the space, the foot The rear end of the cutting board is simply raised up to form a collar, but because of this, when the driver pulls his or her feet back while driving, the driver's heel remains up while driving. In particular, there was the inconvenience that a stable running posture could not be obtained.

Therefore, the present invention attempts to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems by extending the rear ends of the left and right sides of the foot control board obliquely rearward and upward, and providing a rear foot rest surface consisting of an inclined surface at the rear of the foot rest portion. It is something.

To explain an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings, FIGS. 1 and 2 show a small two-wheeled vehicle A, where a is a handle, is a seat, and c is a large approximately U-shaped space between the handle a and the seat. A step-through type foot rest part d is formed by attaching a foot cutting board 1 to the main pipe c, which is a curved main pipe.

Further, in the figure, e is an engine unit case, f is a kick arm, and g is a kick lever.

The foot cutting board is made of sheet metal made by pressing a steel plate, and has recesses 11 formed near the four corners of its surface, and the recesses 11 are fixed to the stays 12 fixed to the main pipe c with bolts 13. The rubber mat 14 is fastened together with the bolts 13 and laid.

At the rear of the foot cutting board 1, there is an intermediate part 2 having a C-shaped cutout in the plane.
A collar edge 2' of an appropriate height is formed on the inner edge of the seat so as to rise slightly inwardly, and this collar edge 2' covers the sheet with a synthetic resin front cover 3 extending downward. Make sure it fits.

The rear part of the foot cutting plate 1 is formed by bending and extending the left and right sides of the intermediate part 2 from the middle part of the middle part 2 to the rear end obliquely upward from the front part thereof to form a rear foot cutting plate 1'. Foot cutting board 1'
Accordingly, rear footrest surfaces d' and d' are provided continuously at the left and right rear ends of the footrest d, respectively.

This footrest surface d' has a length extending to the upper surface of the front end of the engine unit case e, in other words, the length of the driver's foot rests on the footrest surface d' from the toes to the heel. The protrusion 14'a of the rubber mat 14' is also placed on the surface of the footrest surface d' by being inserted into the hole of the footrest surface d'. A side wall 4 with raised edges and bent downward is integrally formed on the outer peripheral edges of the foot cutting board 1 and the hind foot cutting board 1' (FIG. 5).

Stays 5 with nuts are integrally projected from the collar edge 2' of the footrest plate 1 on both the left and right sides, and the stays 5 are inserted into the inner surface of the lower part of the front cover 3 and fixed with bolts to complete the footrest plate 1. and front cover 3.

In the embodiment, the front cover 3 has its upper edge connected to the footrest plate 1.
By dividing the lower cover 3/ into a lower cover 3/ which is approximately aligned with the upper end position of the collar edge 2' and the upper cover 3'' which extends upward from the lower cover 3/, and by fixing both covers 3' and 3I with screws 15, By increasing the footrest surface d/, it is possible to replace the lower cover 3', which is located in a position that covers the footrest d and is easily damaged by the driver's feet.

Furthermore, a leg shield 6 made of synthetic resin that covers the front of the driver's legs is connected and fixed to the front end of the footrest 1, but in the drawings of the embodiment, the leg shield 6 is divided into an upper plate 6' and a lower plate 6'5. A mounting edge 7 is integrally molded into the lower part of the lower plate 6/' and extends rearward substantially horizontally, and a support edge 8 is provided at the front end of the footrest 1 to overlap the mounting edge 7. It has a structure in which it projects integrally and is connected by overlapping its edges 7 and 8 and fastening them with bolts.

The connecting structure between the leg shield 6 and the footrest 1 extends the intersecting space 9 between the two to the front, thereby increasing the front area of the footrest d. As described above, in the present invention, the left and right rear ends of the footrest plate are bent and extended rearward and obliquely upward relative to the front part thereof, and a rear footrest surface consisting of an inclined surface is provided, so that the driver can rest his/her feet while driving. When pulled back, both the toe and the heel can rest on the rear footrest surface. Therefore, a free riding position can be obtained, and the vehicle can be driven in a stable riding position. In addition, when a kick arm is provided at the rear of the footrest as in this embodiment, it is possible to provide a small two-wheeled vehicle with high stability since it is possible to prevent the heel from hitting the kick lever.

Thus, the intended purpose can be achieved.
