Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a footrest device for a so-called scooter type motorcycle or tricycle.

Conventionally, as this type of device, for example, French patent No.
As described in the specification of No. 1209029, a leg shield connected to the front cover, a footrest plate extending to the rear of the lower part of the legshield and having unevenness on the upper surface to prevent slipping, and a footrest plate at the rear end of the footrest plate. It is known that a bent part is integrally molded with a bent part that is bent and connected to a cover that covers the lower part of the seat, but in this case, the integral molding is a metal plate molded product, so it is difficult to reduce the weight of the car body. First, it is difficult to reinforce footrests with anti-slip unevenness on the surface that are unrelated to the anti-slip unevenness, making it impossible to obtain torsional rigidity between the leg shields and bent parts that stand up before and after the footrest.
The installation is complicated, and the footrest has mounting holes on its surface, which reduces the space available for use and the degree of freedom in design, and also makes cleaning the mounting holes difficult and difficult to keep clean. accompanied by the inconvenience of

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a footrest device that eliminates such inconveniences, and includes a leg shield 2 connected to a front cover 1, and a leg shield 2 that extends to the rear of the lower part of the leg shield 2 and has a non-slip top surface. A footrest plate 3 having unevenness 14 and a cover 1 bent at the rear end of the footrest plate 3 to cover the lower part of the seat 12.
In the case where the bent part 11 connected to the footrest 3 is integrally molded, the integral molding is made of a resin molded product, and the support piece 9 provided on the frame 7 is placed and fastened on the back surface of the footrest 3. Mounting boss 15a
It is characterized by having reinforcing ribs 15 extending vertically and horizontally in a protruding manner.

Next, an example of implementing the present invention will be explained with reference to attached drawings.

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 indicates a resin-molded front cover provided above the front of the vehicle body, 2 indicates a leg shield below the leg shield, and 3 indicates a footrest extending to the rear of the lower part of the leg shield 2. The front cover 1 is connected to the head pipe 4 of the vehicle body. It is fastened to a pair of upper and lower stays 5, 5 protruding from the front thereof, and the leg shield 2 and the footrest plate 3 are made of an integral resin molded product 6, and the molded product 6 is attached to the footrest plate 3. The portion is fastened to a stay 8 installed horizontally on the frame 7 below.

To explain this in more detail, the stays 8 are provided in a pair at the front and rear, and the footrest plate 3 is placed on the support piece 9 at the tip that spans both the stays 8, 8, as shown in FIG. When placed and tightened with a gap between the stays 8 and 8, and a protective box 10 for wires and cords passing under the footrest plate 3 is provided in the gap, the footrest plate 3 The part functions as a lid member for the box 10, and these wires and cords are reliably protected from water, soil, etc. In this case, the footrest 3 can be easily removed by simply unfastening it from the support piece 9, which is advantageous for maintenance work on wires and cords.

In addition, a bent part 11 is formed at the rear end of the foot rest plate 3, and this is connected to a cover 13 that covers the lower part of the seat 12 provided above the bent part 11 to create a sense of unity. The resin molded product 6 that integrally molds the mounting plate 3 and the bent part 11 is made of a resin material with paint dissolved in it so that the color will not peel off even if the surface is scratched by the shoes of the passenger. The cover 13 is made of a resin material that is coated with paint so that it emits a bright glow when painted.
Furthermore, there are irregularities 14 on the upper surface of the footrest 3 portion to prevent slipping.
This eliminates the need for a separate anti-slip mat etc., and furthermore, ribs 15 extending vertically and horizontally are provided on the lower surface regardless of the unevenness 14 on the surface. Made it possible to gain strength.

In addition, a central recess 16 is formed in the leg shield 2 to cover from the back the raised part of the front part of the frame 7 which stands diagonally upward toward the head pipe 4, as shown in FIG. Both side parts are brought out in front of the standing part to ensure a wide foot space.

In addition, in the illustrated case, a rear cover 17 that covers the head pipe 4 is engaged with a rear locking portion 18 provided on the front cover 1 as shown in the fourth figure, and the cover 17 is attached to a protrusion 19 at the lower end thereof. Then, engage the upper end of the recess 16 of the leg shield 2 part, and then overlap the projecting edges 20, 20 at the lower ends of both sides of the front cover 1 with the upper ends of both sides of the leg shield 2 part, and tighten with screws etc. as shown in Figure 5. The covers 1 and 17 are made to have a sense of unity as if they are continuous up to the footrest 3.

Of course, the leg shield 2 portion may be integrally extended to the vicinity of the handle.

In this way, according to the present invention, the leg shield 2, the footrest plate 3, and the bent part 11, which are integrally molded, are made of resin molded products, so it is easy to reduce the weight of the vehicle body, and the footrest plate 3 is made of a resin molded product. The footrest plate 3 has a mounting boss 15a that is placed and fastened on the support piece 9 provided on the frame 7 and reinforcing ribs 15 extending vertically and horizontally on the back surface, and has unevenness 14 on the surface to prevent slipping. The footrest plate 3 can be installed without making any mounting holes on its surface, and there is no need to apply any other treatment to the surface of the footrest plate 3 other than to prevent it from slipping, so it is possible to use the space and design more freely, and the footrest plate 3 can be cleaned easily. The foot rest plate 3 maintains its rigidity with the reinforcing ribs 15 on the back side, increasing the torsional rigidity of the leg shield 2 and the bent part 11 that stand up in front and behind it. This has effects such as ease of installation.
