Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a kick starter pedal device suitable for motorcycles such as scooters.

A kick starter pedal is also used in motorcycles such as scooters to start the engine, and the kick starter pedal consists of a kick arm and a pedal that can be freely pulled out laterally, as in general motorcycles.

The conventional kick starter pedal for this type of motorcycle is supported by an arm shaft at the front end of a kick arm that is parallel to the vehicle body, and the rear end of the kick arm is bent downward to pivot the pedal forward and pivot outward. I make it so that I can pull it out. Therefore, the pedals that are pulled out are located behind the seat, making it difficult to operate the pedals while riding in the riding position.Secondly, the pedals are installed at the end of the arm that points downward, so there is a sufficient distance between the pedals and the road surface. However, if there is a cover such as a rear cover on top of the pedal, it is difficult to raise the pedal, making it difficult to operate.

The present invention was made to improve this inconvenience, and its purpose is to provide a kick arm in the longitudinal direction on the vehicle body side, pivot the rear end of the kick arm, and bend the front end of the kick arm upward. The kick pedal is stored in this part in parallel with the kick arm, and the base of the kick pedal is pivoted so that it can be operated by swinging it to the side and protruding out, and the arm and pedal can be stored inside the side of the rear cover. To provide a kick starter pedal device for a motorcycle which can be operated in a riding posture, ensures a sufficient distance between the pedal and the road surface, and is excellent in operability.

Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side view of a motorcycle, in which a scooter type motorcycle is shown in this embodiment. A handle 5 is provided on the head tube cover 2a at the upper part of the front cover, and a head light unit 6 is provided in the middle of the handle 5. Floor 2b of front cover 2
A rear cover 7 is provided at the rear of the rear cover 7 and extends rearward, a rear fender 7a is integrally and continuously provided at the rear of the rear cover 7, and a seat 8 is provided on the rear cover 7. At the rear lower part of the frame, a power unit 9 consisting of an engine 10 and a transmission case 11 is pivotally extended behind the floor 2b, and the rear wheel 12 is supported at the rear end of the case 11, and between the rear part of the case and the frame. is equipped with a reaction unit.

Since the rear wheel 12 faces the right side of the case 11 which is cantilevered in the embodiment, a kick arm 13 is disposed on the left side of the outer surface of the transmission case 11 in the front-rear direction.
The kick arm 13 is connected at its rear end to an arm shaft 14 that protrudes to the side of the case, and the shaft 14 is connected to a starting mechanism via a gear or the like, as is known in the art. The front end of the kick arm 13 faces below the central part of the seat 8 in the longitudinal direction, and is bent upward into a substantially L shape to form a support shaft 13a.The base 15a of the pedal 15 is attached to the support shaft 13a. The pedals are pivoted so as to be horizontally rotatable, and the pedals 15 are positioned parallel to the upper part of the arm 13 in a storage position (FIG. 4A), and the pedals 15 are placed in the storage position (FIG. 4A)
The operating position (Fig. 4B) is defined as the state in which it is swung outward by 90 degrees using the fulcrum as a fulcrum and is protruded outward.
The above kick arm 13 is the pedal 15 in the stored state.
The pedal 15 faces within the outline of the lower edge of the rear cover 7 below the seat, and directly below the lower edge 7b of the rear cover 7.

Next, to explain the function and effect in detail, the kick arm 13 is arranged on the side surface of the case 11 in the front and back direction,
The pedal 15 at the rear end is pivoted, and the pedal 15 at the front end is pivoted with an upwardly bent support shaft, and is stored so as to overlap and be parallel to the arm 13, so that they do not protrude to the side of the cover and are placed inside the cover. It is convenient for full-cover motorcycles. When the pedal 15 is pulled out during operation, since the pedal 15 is provided at the front end of the kick arm 13, it will be located at the foot of the seat 8, such as below the center of the seat 8, and the pedal 15 will remain in the riding position.
You can perform quick operations. Furthermore, since the pedals are connected to the upwardly bent shaft of the front end of the kick arm 13, the pedals 15 are installed at a high position, allowing a sufficient distance between them and the road surface to be set. I never get close to it. Therefore, it is possible to easily perform a sharp operation without considering the relationship with the road surface while riding in the riding position, and the operability can be improved.

The present invention has many advantages as mentioned above.

In the embodiment, the present invention was applied to a scooter type motorcycle, but the present invention may be of any type.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

The drawings show one embodiment of the present invention; Fig. 1 is a side view of the motorcycle, Fig. 2 is an enlarged side view of the same main part, Fig. 3 is a plan view of the same, and Fig. 4 is a plan view of the kick pedal. It is. In the drawings, 1 is a motorcycle, 11 is a vehicle body, 13 is a kick arm, 13a is a bent portion, 14 is a shaft thereof, and 15 is a pedal.
