JPS6039348Y2 - Motorcycle footrest - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] This proposal concerns the footrest of a motorcycle.

In this type of footrest, in order to prevent engine vibrations from being directly transmitted to the occupant's feet, it is known that an elastic body is interposed between the step on which the feet are placed and the step arm that supports it. It is being

In this case, in the past, the elastic body was fixed to the step and the step arm by baking or the like, so if the vehicle model was different, the entire footrest had to be newly manufactured each time due to the difference in the mounting method.

Furthermore, even if a portion of the footrest becomes worn out due to deterioration or wear during use, the entire footrest must be replaced, which is very uneconomical.

The purpose of this proposal is to eliminate the above-mentioned problems, and a hollow elastic body 3 such as rubber is interposed between the step 1 and the step arm 2 that supports it, and a fixing tool is installed in the hollow part 3a. Place step 1 and step arm 2 above
It is removably attached.

The illustrated example has a recess 2a formed in the step arm 2.
A cylindrical hollow elastic body 3 with a substantially oval cross section is fitted into the hollow elastic body 3, and a long and thin plate-shaped washer 4 is arranged in the hollow part 3a, and bolts 5 provided at both ends of the washer 4 are inserted into the bolt hole at the bottom of the step arm 2. It is inserted and fixed with nut 6.

Further, a step receiving plane 31 is formed on the upper part of the elastic body 3, and the step 1 having a U-shaped cross section is placed thereon, and the hollow part 3 of the elastic body 3 is
A screw 8 passed through a hole 11 at the bottom of the step is screwed into an elongated plate-shaped nut 7 which also serves as a washer and is secured by screwing into the nut 7 placed inside the step.

Reference numeral 9 indicates a bracket for attachment to the vehicle body formed integrally with the step arm 2, and 9a indicates its attachment hole.

Since the present invention has the above configuration, for example, if the elastic body 3 deteriorates or the uneven tread surface 1a of the step 1 becomes worn and becomes slippery, only the elastic body 3 or the step 1 can be replaced. It is economical.

In addition, the hollow elastic body 3 can be firmly attached to the step and the step arm 2 with a good appearance by arranging a fixing tool in the hollow part 3a, and the hollow part 3a lowers the spring constant to provide a vibration isolation effect. It has the effect of increasing
