Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a support device for a steering handle in a two-wheeled motor vehicle.

Conventionally, this type of two-wheeled vehicle includes an engine and a fuel tank above the engine in the middle of a vehicle body having front and rear wheels, and a steering handle and a seat for a passenger in front and behind the tank. A type in which the handle can be folded backwards using its lower end as a shaft has been proposed, but in this case, the handle must be stably supported in the folded position, and the fuel must be stored when the vehicle is carried. Leak prevention means are preferred.

The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a device that meets these requirements, and includes an engine 3 and a fuel tank 4 above the engine 3 in the middle of a vehicle body 2 having front and rear wheels 1, 1. A steering handle 5 and a passenger seat 6 are provided at the front and rear of the fuel tank 4, and the steering handle 5 can be folded rearward about its lower end as an axis. A breather tube 11 is provided on the top surface of the fuel tank 4 so that it can be folded down freely.
At the same time, a seat member 7 for supporting the folded steering handle 5 is provided protrudingly on the breather tube 11.

In the illustrated example, a cover member 8 in the form of a frame housing is provided around the outer periphery of the vehicle body 2, and the handle 5 is accommodated in this when folded down, and the seat 6 is also folded in substantially the same manner. I was able to fold it up and store it in this bag.

This state is clearly shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, for example.

The tank 4 is mounted on the vehicle body 2 by front and rear brackets 9, 9 on the lower surface, the seat member 7 is horizontally installed on the upper surface substantially along the rear side edge, and the handle 5 is mounted on the vehicle body 2. consists of a pair of left and right handle pipes 5a, and correspondingly, a pair of left and right receiving surfaces 7a which are recessed in the upper surface of the receiving seat member 7 are arranged side by side.

In the drawing, 10 is an oil tank on the rear lower side of the tank 4;
2 is a breather tube extending from each tank 10.

In this way, according to the present invention, the steering handle 5 is folded down onto the upper surface of the fuel tank 4 so that it can be freely shaped.
A breather pipe 11 is disposed on the upper surface, and the bent steering knob 5 is mounted on the breather pipe 11.
Since the bundle 5 is provided with a protruding catch member 7 that supports it, the bundle 5 can be folded down and supported stably on the tank, and the breather pipe 11 can be easily supported even if the vehicle body 2 is tilted when the vehicle body 2 is being carried. This prevents fuel leakage from the fuel tank, and the breather pipe 11 is connected to the folded bundle 5.
This has the effect that it will not be damaged because it is protected by.
