Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a leg shield provided at the front of a motorcycle or the like, and particularly to a leg shield that doubles as a front loading platform.

A leg shield is provided at the front of the motorcycle as a windshield for the rider's legs, and the leg shield is attached to a handle post or the like so as to cover the left and right legs and the front of the rider while sitting. Conventionally, such a leg shield functions purely as a windshield and therefore cannot be used as a loading platform, and a separate part is attached to the front loading platform. There are also some that have a front basket attached to the front of the leg shield as a loading platform, but since the basket is made of wire, the bottom plate is currently placed as a separate part on the bottom of the basket.

The inventors of the present invention have devised the present invention in order to improve the inconvenience of installing a cargo platform in front of the conventional leg shield.The inventors have devised this invention by providing a cargo platform of a predetermined size integrally protruding from the bottom of the leg shield forward from the lower part of the leg shield. To provide a leg shield device in which a front loading platform can be provided without attaching a front loading platform, and when a basket is attached, the loading platform constitutes the bottom of the basket, thereby making effective use of the leg shield and reducing the number of parts. It is in.

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

FIG. 1 shows a side view of a motorized tricycle as an example of a small vehicle, and FIG. 2 shows a front view of the same.

The vehicle 1 consists of a front frame 2 and a rear frame 3. A single front wheel 4 serving as a steering wheel is provided at the lower front of the front frame 2, and a handle post 5 is installed above the handle post 5. is provided with a handle 6. A seed post 7 is erected on the rear part of the front frame 2, a passenger seat 8 is provided at the upper end of the seed post 7, and a swing joint 9 with a buffer interposed therein is provided below. 9 and the rear frame 3 are connected via a rolling joint 10 consisting of a shaft, and the front frame 2 can swing left and right. The rear frame 3 is equipped with a drive unit consisting of a prime mover (not shown), has rear wheels 11 forming drive wheels on the left and right sides, and is covered above with a rear fender 12. A front fender part 13 is provided on the front wheel 4 of the front frame 2 so as to cover the upper part thereof, and the fender part 13 protrudes forward from the lower part of the handle post 5.
The fender portion 13 may be molded integrally with the frame 2 or may be molded separately and bonded to the front portion of the frame.

A leg shield 14 is attached to the front fender part 13 at the front of the handle post 5 of the vehicle 1 described above. The leg shield 14 includes a wide plate-shaped main body 15, and the width of the main body 15 is such that it covers the front of the legs of an occupant sitting on the seat 8 with his or her feet aligned on the floor section 2a behind the front fender section 13. The width shall be necessary and sufficient. A plate-shaped loading platform that protrudes forward is provided at the bottom of the main body 15, and the loading platform 16
and the main body 15 are integrally molded from synthetic resin or the like, and edge pieces 17 are provided on the front and left and right sides of the cargo platform 16 except for the rear surface on the main body 15 side.
A rib 18 is provided between the central portion of the main body 6 and the front lower portion of the main body 15 to connect the two.

A mounting hole 19 is bored in the upper or middle part of the main body 15 of the leg shield 14 in the width direction, and the main body 15 is connected to the front surface of the handle post 5 through this hole 19. Mounting holes 20, 20 are bored on the left and right sides of the rib 18, and the mounting holes 20, 2
0 to the front fender section 13 through the loading platform section 16.
It concludes to. The rib 18 accommodates the top of the front fender section 13 below, giving a sense of unity. Luggage can be carried by being placed on the loading platform 16 protruding forward from the lower part of the leg shield 14, and a basket can be attached to store the load.

In this embodiment, an example in which a basket is attached is shown in both figures, and the basket 21 is as shown in FIG. Multiple vertical members 2
A mounting piece 22 is placed horizontally between the rear parts of the leg shields 1a and 21a, and a mounting hole 23 is formed therein.
At the bottom 16a of the loading platform 16 of No. 4, there is a vertical member 21a...
A locking portion 24 is provided for holding the bottom portion of the basket 21, and a downward hook portion 25 is further provided on a part of the back surface of the main body 15 for locking to the rear part of the horizontal member 21b of the basket 21. . and basket 2
Attachment members 26, 26 are provided on the left and right sides at the bottom of the device 1, extending diagonally backward and downward from the front portion, and flat or loop-shaped attachment portions 27 are provided at the rear ends of the attachment members 26, 26, respectively.

In the above, the loading platform 1 of the leg shield 14
Loading platform 1 from above the basket 21 with 6 facing down
6. Insert the main body 15 so that the loading platform 16 is on the bottom of the basket 21 and the back of the main body 15 is on the bottom of the basket 21.
Facing the inside of the rear surface. Locking part 24 under the bottom of the loading platform part 16
The hook part 25 engages with the vertical member 21a at the bottom of the basket 21, and the hook part 25 engages with a predetermined part of the horizontal member 21b forming the back of the basket. match,
The leg shield 14 and the basket 21 are jointly fastened to the front surface of the handle post 5 by passing screws or the like through the mounting hole 19 of the main body 15 on the front (outside) side and the mounting hole 23 of the mounting piece 22 on the back side thereof. Then, attach the mounting members 26, 26 provided on the left and right sides of the basket bottom to the mounting portion 27.
Screws or the like are attached to the left and right sides of the fender 13 via the screws.
Thus, the leg shield 14 and the basket 21
is attached and supported above the fender 13 on the front surface of the handle post 5, the bottom of the basket 21 is constituted by the loading platform 16, and the back plate is constituted by the main body 15. In the embodiment, the main body 15 is made to protrude above the basket 21 at an appropriate height.
The height of this is arbitrary.

Although the illustrated embodiment has been described above, the specific shape of the basket is arbitrary, and the basket may be constructed as a box-like body surrounded by a plate except for the top. is also optional.

As is clear from the above, according to the present invention, since the leg shield functions as a loading platform, there is no need to attach the loading platform as a separate member other than the leg shield, and the number of parts and assembly work can be reduced. When attaching a basket, it also functions as a support member for this,
Moreover, it also constitutes the bottom plate, and has many advantages such as being able to reduce the number of parts and man-hours when attaching the basket.
