Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a storage device for a scooter.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, for convenience of use, scooters have been required to be equipped with storage devices that can store relatively large objects without being exposed to the elements. Therefore, in order to meet such demands, it is conceivable to use the side cover as a peripheral wall and form a storage space within the side cover.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, when forming the storage space in the side cover in this way, the mounting structure of the bottom member that closes the lower part of the storage space poses a problem. In other words, in a structure in which the bottom member is simply attached to the frame with bolts that pass through it, muddy water splashed up by the rear wheels may get caught up inside the side cover, and this muddy water can get caught between the wall of the drainage hole and the bolts. There is a possibility that the object may enter the storage space through the small gap between the object and the object.

Furthermore, if the bolts sometimes protrude into the storage space, the bolts may get caught when taking out or taking out stored items, making it difficult to use.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a scooter storage device that is free from the risk of water entering through the attachment portion and is easy to use. In the scooter storage device according to the present invention, a side cover covers the periphery of a bottom member provided on a frame and has a flat internal bottom surface, and an upper opening of the side cover is provided so as to be openable and closable.
A storage space is formed by closing with a girder sheet, and a bracket protruding from the bottom of the bottom member is attached to the frame.

[Effect]

In the present invention, by forming the inner bottom surface of the bottom member flat, the bottom surface of the storage space is made flat, and the attachment portion of the bottom member is covered with the bottom member.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing the main parts of a scooter equipped with a scooter storage device according to the present invention, and FIG.
The line sectional view and FIG. 3 are side views showing a scooter provided with a storage device. In these figures, the reference numeral 1 indicates a scooter, and this scooter 1 has a structure in which there is a space between a steering handle 2 and a seat 3. It is equipped with a low-floor, substantially plate-shaped footrest 4.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a frame extending in the front-rear direction of the scooter 1, which is bent upward from the bottom of the footrest 4 and back again below the front of the seats 1 to 3, and is bent to the rear again below the front of the seats 1 to 3. Rear wheel 7 suspended by formula engine 6
extends above.

A portion of the frame 5 extending above the rear wheel 7 is formed from a pair of parallel tube bodies 5a, 5a. The pipe bodies 5a, 5a include an arc-shaped mudguard 8 and a pipe body 5.
A storage box 9 made of fiber-reinforced resin is provided as a bottom member protruding from both sides of a and 5a.

10 is disposed below the seat 3, and the storage box 9
This is a side cover made of resin that covers the periphery of the frame 5, unit 7 swing type engine 6, etc. This side cover 10 is divided into left and right parts and is attached to the frame 5 via a bracket (not shown), and the rear end portion is formed by a rear cover 11 having a U-shape in plan view. The side cover 10 has a rear peripheral wall 10a that extends around the storage box 9 and extends above the storage box 9.
It has an opening 12 at the top. In the embodiment, (1): The side cover 10 extends so that its upper edge slopes upwardly behind the seating position.

The sheet 3 consists of a bottom plate 13 and a cushioning material 14 such as a sponge provided on the bottom plate 13, and the opening 12
and a storage box 9 at the rear inside the side cover 10.
It is formed to be long in the front-rear direction so as to form a storage space S, which is surrounded by the side cover 10 and the rear part of the seat 3 and is indicated by diagonal lines. That is, the seat 3 extends rearward so that its rear portion faces the opening 12, and the lower front end 3a is pivotally attached to the seat 3 so that it can be opened and closed. Further, the rear part of the seat 3 is formed one step higher than the front part where the occupant is seated, the cushioning material 14 is reduced, and a recessed part 13a recessed upward is formed in the part of the bottom plate 13 facing the opening 12. is formed.

The capacity of the storage space S is increased by this recessed portion 13a.

The storage box 9 has a bottom portion 9a extending in the horizontal direction and a side wall 9b integrally erected on the bottom portion 9a, and is formed into a box shape that is open upward. The upper end of the side wall 9b is integrally provided with an edge 9C that protrudes to both left and right sides.

The internal bottom surface 15 of the storage box 9 is formed flat by smoothing the top surface of the bottom portion 9a. A plurality of brackets 16 are integrally provided on the lower side of the bottom portion 9a at positions facing the outside of the tubular body 5a. Furthermore, although not shown, fiber materials are electro-flocked on the inner peripheral surfaces of the internal bottom surface 15 and the side walls 9b in order to protect stored items. Reference numeral 17 denotes a fitting for attaching this bracket 16 to the tube body 5a.
It is welded to a. Reference numeral 18 denotes a bolt that passes through the bracket 16 and the mounting fitting 17 in the vehicle width direction shown by arrow A and fastens these two members together. That is, the storage box 9
is connected to the pipe body 5 via a bracket 16 protruding from its lower side.
It is attached to a.

Reference numeral 19 denotes a seat support portion that is integrally provided at the front end of the storage box 9 and extends in the horizontal direction. Reference numeral 2o denotes a support member opposite to this seat support portion 19, which is provided midway through a partition plate 21 that is integrally erected on the lower side of the bottom plate 13 and closes off the front side of the storage space S. It is in contact with the support portion 19 .

Reference numeral 23 is a cushioning material such as a sponge attached to the inside of the side cover 10 to protect stored items. The storage box 9 is attached so that the edge 9c is pressed against the cushioning material 23. For this reason, the storage box 9 is
624, which also functions as a mudguard to prevent muddy water from scattering upward, is located below the seating position of the seat 3; 25 is a fuel tank; and 2G is a tail light. Note that the rear peripheral wall 10a of the side cover 10 has a required strength by increasing its wall thickness.

In the scooter storage device configured in this way,
Since the side cover 10 itself, which is a large member of the members constituting the scooter 1, is used as a peripheral wall to form the storage space S, the inside of the space can be fully utilized and a relatively large capacity can be obtained. Moreover, the inner bottom surface 15 of the storage box 9 forming the storage space S is formed flat, and the bracket 16 is provided with the storage box 9 protruding downward.
Since it is attached to the tubular body 5a of the frame 5 via the holder, the bottom surface of the storage space S can be made flat.

Therefore, since the stored items can be supported on this flat surface, the storage box 9 will not get caught on the stored items or become an obstacle when storing the stored items. Furthermore, since the bracket 16 is covered by the storage box 9 itself, there is no fear that muddy water splashed up by the rear wheel 7 will enter the storage space S through the mounting portion, and the bracket 16 will not be exposed.

In the embodiment, the storage space S is formed behind the seat 3, so there is no need to raise the driving position, a stable posture can be maintained, and things can be stored in a stable position. As a result, the running performance of the scooter 1 is not impaired.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing another embodiment, in which members that are the same or equivalent to those shown in FIG. 2 are given the same reference numerals and their explanations will be omitted. In this embodiment, the tube bodies 5a, 5a
A bracket 27 is provided to protrude so as to fit between the two.
A bolt 28 is inserted into this bracket 27 so that the threaded portion thereof protrudes downward. The mounting bracket 29 is welded between the tube bodies 5a in the vehicle width direction.

Even in the example configured in this way, the bottom surface of the storage space S can be made flat, and the mounting portion can be covered with the storage box 9.

Further, the mounting direction of the storage box 9 can be the vertical direction shown by the arrow B.

In the above embodiment, the storage space S is formed in the rear part of the side cover. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the height of the unit swing type engine 6 can be adjusted by tilting the cylinder forward. By lowering the height and changing the arrangement of tanks, the storage box 9 may be provided below the seating position.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, the periphery of the bottom member provided on the frame and having a flat internal bottom surface is covered with a side cover, and the upper opening of the side cover is closed with a sheet attached to the side cover so as to be openable and closable. Because we created a storage space,
Relatively large items can be stored in the storage space with a flat bottom. Furthermore, since the bracket protruding from the bottom of the bottom member is attached to the frame, the mounting portion of the bottom member can be covered with the bottom member.

Therefore, there is no fear that muddy water will enter the storage space from the attachment part, and the bottom member will not get caught on the stored items when taking them in or out, making it easier to use. Furthermore, since the mounting portion is not exposed, it does not look unsightly.
