Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field of the Invention) The present invention relates to a scooter type vehicle, and particularly to a scooter type vehicle in which a space inside a body panel under a driver's seat is used as an installation part for a storage compartment with an opening/closing lid for the driver's seat. .

(Technical Background) In a so-called scooter type vehicle that is equipped with a low-floor plate-shaped footrest between the steering wheel and the driver's seat, the space inside the body panel under the driver's seat is used as a storage compartment (trunk).
There is a tendency for it to be installed in the installation section.

By utilizing the space inside the body panel under the driver's seat in this way, a large-capacity storage compartment can be provided, and a helmet can also be stored. Generally, a storage compartment installed in the space inside the body panel under the driver's seat is used as a lid for opening and closing the driver's seat.

(Prior Art and Problems) The storage compartment described above is known, for example, from Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 154964/1983, but in the past, helmets were stored in a royal state (attached to the head) or rolled over ( Because the helmet is designed to be stored with the mounting opening facing sideways, it is not possible to store small items such as other gloves or a windbreaker when the helmet is stored, and it is necessary to store them inside the helmet before storing. However, there are problems in that it is inconvenient to take out and troublesome to store.

(Purpose of the Invention) This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and includes a storage compartment structured to ensure storage of helmets and small items such as gloves and wind brakes. The purpose is to provide a scooter type vehicle.

(Structure of the Invention) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a scooter type vehicle in which a space inside a body panel under a driver's seat is used as an installation part for a storage compartment with an opening/closing lid for the driver's seat, the storage compartment being The lower part is formed into a substantially hemispherical shape.

(Example of the invention) Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway side view of a scooter type vehicle to which an embodiment of the present invention is applied, FIG. 2 is an enlarged vertical sectional view showing the same inventive part, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged plan view showing the same inventive part. .

In the figure, 1 indicates a frame pipe 2 and a body panel 3.
4 is a steering wheel, 5 is a driver's seat, 6 is a vehicle body consisting of
is an engine, 7 is a front wheel, 8 is a rear wheel, 9 is a front fender, 10 is a rear fender, 11 is a carrier, and 12 is a stand.

The frame pipe 2 consists of left and right pipes 2', 2' arranged at a predetermined interval, the front parts of these left and right pipes 2', 2' are shaped along the handle column 13, and the central part is shaped like a steering wheel column 13. The shape is such that a low-floor footrest 14 is formed between the handle 4 and the driver's seat 5, and the rear portion is shaped to approach the driver's seat 5.

The body panel 3 has a front cover 15 at the front part.
The central portion constitutes a footrest 14, and the rear portion constitutes a body cover 16.

The front part of the engine 6 is connected to a hanger 17a provided on the cross pipe 17 of the frame pipe 2, and left and right links 18.1 are connected to the hanger 17a.
8, and connect the rear part to the cross bracket 19 of the frame pipe 2 on the left and right suspensions 20.20
are connected via.

The front portion of the driver's seat 5 is connected to the upper end of a storage compartment forming member 22 (to be described later) with a hinge 26, and the driver's seat 5 is mounted so that it can be opened and covered in two directions (arrow 2) with the hinge 26 as the center of rotation, and is rotated in the direction of the arrow @. It can be turned to lock the key when closed.

In such a scooter type vehicle, the body cover 1
A space 21 within the front cover 15 that connects the front part of the engine 6, the cross pipe 17, the upper surface of the engine 6, and the cross bracket 19 has a substantially semicircular shape. The space 21
A storage compartment forming member 22 made of resin to which the driver's seat 5 is attached is installed at the upper end. The storage compartment forming member 22 has a substantially hemispherical lower portion so that the helmet 24 can be stably stored in the internal storage compartment 23 in an inverted state (with the mounting opening facing upward). As shown in FIG. 4, such a storage compartment forming member 22 has stepped portions 22a formed on both sides of the lower part, which are connected to the left and right pipes 2',
6 left and right pipes 2', 2 connected to the frame pipe 2 by placing them on the frame pipe 2' and fixing the joints.
The connecting plates 2' a, 2' a are welded to the connecting plates 2', and the storage compartment forming member 22 is connected to the connecting plates 2'.
a, 2' are connected to a by bolts 25. Further, when the storage compartment forming member 22 is installed, the U-shaped bent portion 22b at the upper end is connected to cover the upper end 15a of the front cover 15. The circumferential edge 5b of the base plate 5a of the driver's seat 5 is covered with the U-shaped bent portion 22b.

The illustrated storage compartment forming member 22 has a storage compartment 23 therein.
When the helmet 24 is stored in an inverted state, the shield portion 24a of the helmet 24 is placed on the front side. Therefore, the front wall 22c of the storage compartment forming member 22
is sloped toward the rear, and the rear wall 22d is vertical.

A lubricating oil tank 25 to be supplied to each part of the engine 6 is disposed between the rear wall 22d of the storage compartment forming member 22 and the cross bracket 19. The tank 25 consists of separate left and right tanks 25a and 25b installed at the left and right rear portions of the storage compartment forming member 22 in the space 21, and a portion 25c that communicates and connects the left and right tanks 25a and 25b is connected to the rear g22d. It is interposed between the cross bracket 19 and the cross bracket 19. The tank 25 is made of resin and integrally has a stopper 25e that closes the supply port 25d.

Further, a fuel tank 27 is arranged in a space 26 within the rear body panel 3. The cap 27a of the fuel tank 27 is covered by the driver's seat 5 when the driver's seat 5, which serves as an opening/closing lid of the storage compartment 23, is closed, and is exposed to the outside when the driver's seat 5 is opened. When the driver's seat 5 is closed, it is key-locked by hooking a lock claw 28 operated by a key onto a hook 29.

A bracket 17b is a component of the hanger 17a.
is fixed to the bottom wall 22e of the storage compartment forming member 22 with bolts 30.

In the figure, 31 is a carburetor, 32 is a muffler, and 33 is wiring and piping such as an oil pump cable, fuel hose, and oil hose.

In a scooter type vehicle configured as described above, the helmet 24 can be stably stored in an inverted state in the storage compartment 23 that opens when the driver's seat 5 is opened, and at the same time, the helmet 24 can be stably stored in an inverted state. Small items such as gloves and a windbreaker can be stored inside the helmet 24 without spilling.

(Effects of the Invention) In summary, the scooter type vehicle according to the present invention is a scooter type vehicle in which the interior space of the body panel under the driver's seat is used as an installation part for a storage compartment having an opening/closing lid for the driver's seat. Since the lower part of the chamber is formed into a substantially hemispherical shape, it is possible to stably store a helmet in an inverted state in the storage compartment, and prevent small items such as gloves and windbreakers from spilling inside the helmet. Therefore, the storage space can be used effectively.

Further, the storage compartment has a high structural rigidity, which makes it suitable for receiving the weight of stored items such as helmets, and has the advantage that it does not resonate with vehicle body vibrations when installed.
