Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a seat support structure for a scooter type vehicle.

[Conventional technology]

Scooters can be ridden in a chair-like position and can be easily ridden by women and young people, so in recent years they have become widely used by the public for commuting and shopping.

This type of scooter generally has auxiliary equipment such as fuel tanks, oil tanks, and batteries housed below the seating position of the seat, and the front end of the seat is pivoted and this front end serves as a fulcrum. The upper part of the auxiliary machinery is opened and closed by rotating the seat.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in such a structure, since the front end of the seat is pivotally mounted, there is a problem that it is not always possible to prevent the seat from swinging in the lateral direction when the vehicle is traveling. This is because the seat is formed so that its width becomes narrower toward the front to facilitate body movement and footwork, so the support width of the seat becomes narrower.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention has been made in view of these circumstances, and provides a seat support structure for a scooter type vehicle that can prevent the seat from swinging in the lateral direction. In the seat support structure for a scooter type vehicle according to the present invention, the rear end of the seat is pivotally connected to a support member that is protruded from a frame and has a width slightly narrower than the width of the rear end of the seat.

[Effect]

In the present invention, the support width of the seat is increased by pivotally connecting the rear end of the seat to a wide support member.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view showing the main parts of a scooter in which the seat support structure for a scooter type vehicle according to the present invention is implemented, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the same, and FIG. 3 is a side view showing the scooter. The reference numeral 1 indicates a scooter, and this scooter 1 is equipped with a low-floor, substantially plate-shaped footrest 4 between a steering handle 2 and a seat 3, and a space is formed in front of the seat 3. has been done. Reference numeral 5 denotes a frame consisting of a single tube body extending in the front-rear direction of the scooter 1, and the front part thereof extends forward under the footrest 4 and is provided with a steering shaft tube (not shown). There is. A front fork 7, which suspends a front wheel 6, is rotatably supported on this steering shaft tube. on the other hand,
The rear part of the frame 5 is bent upward from the bottom of the footrest 4 and back again below the seat 3, and is bent above the rear wheel 9 suspended by the unit swing engine 8. An arc-shaped mudguard 10 is attached to the rear end to cover the upper part of the rear wheel 9.

Reference numeral 11 designates a support column protruding from the frame 5 corresponding to the front part of the seat 3, and reference numeral 12 a support member protruding from the frame 5 corresponding to the rear part of the seat 3.

Auxiliary equipment such as a fuel tank 13, an oil tank 14, and a battery 15 are interposed between these members, in other words, below the seating position of the seat 3. These auxiliary machines are covered with a side cover 16 along with the frame 5, unit swing type engine 8, and the like. This side cover 1
6 is disposed below the sheet 3, and is molded from a resin material or the like by being divided into left and right parts.

A bracket 18 is provided at the upper end of the support column 11 and has side covers 16 fixed to both sides and a support portion 17 for supporting the seat 3 on the upper surface.

The support member 12 consists of a pair of tube bodies formed in an abbreviated shape, which are opposed to each other at an interval in the width direction, and are attached to a bracket such that one end extends upward and the other end extends rearward. 19
It is fixed to the frame 5 via. The upper end of the support member 12 extends to the rear of the seat 3 along the rear end surface of the seat 3, and the rear end extends to the rear end of the side cover 16. The width of the upper end portion is set to be slightly narrower than the width of the rear end of the sheet 3.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a pivot member rotatably provided on a shaft member 21 such as a bolt horizontally suspended at the upper end.

The pivot member 20 has a U-shaped arm, and the rear end of the bottom member 3a of the seat 3 is connected to the tip of the arm with a screw or the like. That is, the rear end of the seat 3 is pivotally connected to the support member 12 via the pivot member 20, and is rotatably attached around the shaft member 21 as a fulcrum.

22 is the bracket 18 corresponding to the front end of the seat 3;
The front end of the seat 3 is removably attached to the frame 5 side by a seat lock provided in the seat lock. 23 is a seat cover provided at the rear of the seat 3 and removably covers the upper end of the support member 12; 24 is a tail light attached to the rear end of the side cover 16;

Reference numeral 25 denotes a carrier provided on the rear edge of the seat 3 at a position lower than the seat 3, and this carrier 25 is connected to a bracket throat 26 that fixes the support member 12 and the side cover 16.

In the seat support structure for a scooter type vehicle configured in this manner, the rear end of the seat 3 is pivotally connected to the support member 12 protruding from the frame 5.
For inspection, refueling, etc.,
The upper part of auxiliary equipment such as the fuel tank 13 and battery can be opened and closed.

Further, since the rear end of the seat 3 is pivotally connected to the support member 12 having a width slightly narrower than the width of the rear end, the support width can be increased. This is because the rear end of the seat 3 has a small influence on the occupant's body movements and footwork when the occupant is seated, and is formed wide.

Therefore, the seat 3 can be supported at a position away from the center of lateral rocking, and the moment that causes the rocking can be balanced with a relatively small force, making it possible to ensure the support of the seat 3. can.

In the embodiment, since the pivot member 20 has a U-shaped arm, it is not exposed to the outside and is not interfered with by the seat cover 23 provided at the rear of the seat 3. Can be opened and closed.

In the above embodiment, an example was explained in which the support member 12 was formed from a pair of tubular bodies, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it may also be formed from a plate-shaped member.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, since the rear end of the seat is pivotally connected to the support member protruding from the frame and having a width slightly narrower than the width of the rear end of the seat, the support width of the seat can be increased relatively. Can support sheets over long spans.

Therefore, it is possible to reliably support the seat and prevent it from swinging in the lateral direction. Therefore, a stable posture can be maintained.
