Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a structure in which a case for lamps is continuously arranged above the leg shield of a motorcycle, and turn signal lamps, position lamps, etc. are made part of the leg shield. .

Motorcycles are equipped with blinker lamps that indicate left and right directions, and position lamps called small position lamps that indicate the width of the vehicle at dusk and at night.

Turn signal lamps are generally installed on the left and right sides of the steering wheel via mounting stays, or on the left and right sides of the upper part of the front forks, but when position lamps are installed separately, it is difficult to secure installation space, and These lamps are installed bare, so consideration must be given to their appearance.

However, leg shields are installed on the front of the vehicle body in small motorcycles for practical use, and the leg shields are installed to cover the front of the vehicle body from the foot position to the head tube, but when the above position lamp is installed, the front fork If installed on the handle, the installation stay would have to be extended, which would not be the best in terms of appearance, and it would require more parts.If installed on the handle, it would overlap with other lamps, making it difficult to secure installation space and improve the appearance. It is difficult to say that it is the best in terms of points etc.

The present invention was made to improve the above-mentioned disadvantages of motorcycles equipped with leg shields.The purpose of this invention is to provide a lamp case with a relatively large front surface on the upper part of the leg shield, and to connect this lamp case with the upper part of the leg shield. To provide a leg shield upper structure for a motorcycle, in which a lamp is provided in a part of the upper part of the leg shield, and lamps can be arranged rationally while improving space utilization and appearance. .

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 showing the appearance of a motorcycle. The motorcycle 1 supports a front fork 4 that supports a front wheel 5 through a head tube 3 at the front of the frame covered with a cover 2. After installing the engine 6, remove the rear cover 7 from the top.
In addition, the seat 8 is placed on top of this, and the rear wheels 1 are placed further behind the lower part.
A rear fork 9 supporting the rear fork 0 is extended, and a rear action unit 1 is installed between this and the rear part of the frame.
1 is interposed. A handle 12 is attached to the upper part of the steering stem extending above the head tube 3, and a head light unit 1 is attached to the center of the handle 12.
3, and turn signal lamps 14 are provided on the left and right sides of the handle 12 in this embodiment.

Leg shields 15 are provided on the front left and right sides of such a motorcycle, and in the embodiment, the leg shields 15 are integrally formed at the front of the cover 2 from the left and right footwells to the left and right upper sides of the head tube 3. The middle part of the leg shield 15 is curved rearward so as to surround the rear part of the head tube 3, the front part of the head tube is covered with a downpipe-like top cover 6, and the rear part of the head tube faces the front of the middle part of the leg shield 15,
It is covered with a top cover surrounding the rear part of the head tube and a symmetrical downpipe-shaped stay 17. The leg shield upper part 15a extends to the upper side of the top cover 16, and a predetermined clearance in the height direction is provided between the upper end of the top cover 16 and the leg shield upper end 15b.

At the joint part of the top cover 16 and the stay 17 that corresponds to the side part of the head tube 3, L-shaped mounting pieces 16a and 17a which are symmetrically opposed to each other are provided on the upper part.
The intermediate lower portions of a and 17a are screwed together with screws 18 and nuts 19, and the top cover 16 is attached and supported to the head tube 3 side at a portion not shown, thus the top cover 16 and the stay 17 are connected and integrated. . And mounting pieces 16a, 17
Below a, supporting pieces 16b and 17b are integrally formed with the top cover 16 and the stay 17 and protrude sideways.
The support pieces 16b and 17b are flat and are provided so as to face each other and be separated from each other in the front-rear direction. A position lamp case 20 is attached to the left and right leg shields 15 so as to be continuous therewith, and the cover 20 is made up of a joined body of members 21 and 22 which are divided into front and rear parts.
The rear member 22 is also located on the back side and has a symmetrical shape, and the front member 21 has a flat front face and is relatively large. The external parts and upper ends of the members 21 and 22 are symmetrically bent into an L shape to form abutting parts 21a,
22a, and the inner ends 21b and 22b abut against the sides of the top cover 16 and the stay 17, and the member 2
A space S whose upper, outer and inner parts are closed is provided between 1 and 22, and the leg shield upper end 1
5b is fitted into the lower part between the members 21 and 22, so that the member and the upper part of the leg shield appear to be continuous. The members 21 and 22 are provided with mounting portions 21c and 22c at the center of the inner end,
Pass the screw 23 between the supports 16b and 17b, which have been described above, facing the inside of the collar 24.
are interposed and fastened with nuts 25, and thus the front and rear members 21,
22 are tied together, and the members 21 and 22 themselves are also integrated. In the embodiment, an engaging protrusion 22d is provided on the inner end of the lower surface of the upper abutting part of the rear member, and this is engaged from above between the upper parts of the mounting pieces 16a and 17a, so that the intermediate inner end Along with screwing on,
Top cover 16 and stay 17 are also attached to the upper part near the inner end.
It will be supported by the side. In this way, support can be ensured, and when a load is applied to the case 20 in the front-rear direction, the only rigid connection part is the threaded part, so the case 20 can be easily bent, preventing damage to the case 20, and requiring replacement. It is also easy and advantageous in terms of maintenance.

A horizontally elongated opening 26 is provided in the upper part of the front member 21, into which the peripheral part of a reflecting plate 27 having a backwardly curved reflecting surface 27a housed in the space S is fitted from the inside, and the outer side of this is fitted. The peripheral part of the lens 28 is overlapped with the periphery of the lens 28, and both are engaged with the periphery of the opening 26 by the frame 29,
A bulb 30 protrudes from a part of the reflector plate 27, and when the bulb 30 is lit, an indication that the bulb is lit is displayed in front via the reflector plate 27. A boss portion 27b is protruded from the rear of the reflector plate 27. was fixed to a part of the inner surface of the rear member 22 with screws 31 to ensure mounting and support of the reflector.

In the above embodiments, a position lamp is used, but a turn signal lamp may also be used.Also, the front surface of the reflector 27 can be divided into two parts, and a turn signal lamp can be provided on one side and a position lamp can be provided on the other. Since the direction can be adjusted to a certain extent, it is possible to arrange such double lamps.

As is clear from the above, according to the present invention, the position lamp etc. can be designed to be advantageous in terms of space and can be installed in a position where it is easy to see and confirm, and since it forms the upper part of the leg shield and is continuous with this, the appearance can be improved. In addition, it has many advantages such as being able to maintain flexibility in the front and rear directions while being integrated with the leg shield, and being advantageous in terms of maintenance.
