Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a back mirror device for the front part of a motorcycle body.

Conventionally, this type of device includes a mirror stay that extends upward through a ball joint at the top of a handle pipe that extends above the front of the vehicle body, and a mirror at the tip of the mirror stay, and the angle of the mirror can be adjusted at the joint. There are known handle pipes that allow the handle pipe to be folded backwards around the lower end, and when the handle pipe is folded, the mirror tilts backward along with the Mira stay. The stay is in a state where it largely protrudes in the lateral direction, which has the disadvantage of becoming a nuisance.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device free of such inconveniences, and includes a pipe portion 2a extending upwardly from the front of the vehicle body 1, and a grip portion 2b extending outward from the upper end of the pipe portion 2a. A handle 2 is foldably attached to the vehicle body 1 at the lower end of the pipe 2a, and inside the grip portion 2b,
A Mira stay 6 consisting of a mounting portion 6a extending upward and a Mira support portion 6b bent from the mounting portion 6a and extending outward is attached via a ball joint 5 provided on the mounting portion 6a.
A vertical guide groove 8 is formed on a side surface of the mirror support part 6b to allow the mounting part 6a to tilt and to allow the mirror support part 6b to be folded along the pipe part 2a.

The vehicle body 1 includes front and rear wheels 9, 9, an engine 10 in the middle, a tank 11 above it, and a seat 12 for the passenger behind it, and a pair of left and right handle pipes 2 in front of the vehicle body 1. The vehicle body 1 is configured as a two-wheeled motor vehicle, and furthermore, the vehicle body 1 has a frame housing-like cover member 13 surrounding it on its outer periphery.
The handle pipe 2 is foldable rearward about its lower end, and when folded, it is stored in the cover member 13 through an opening 14 on its upper surface.

The mirror 7 is fitted into the top of the mirror stay 6 in the shaft hole 15 on its back side, and is able to swing freely around the shaft hole 15, and the joint body 4 has an upper ball cap 4a and a lower spring cap 4b.
and a spring 4c below the spring 4c, or the entire structure is integrally formed of synthetic resin.

To explain its operation, the Mirastay 6
moves upward in the guide groove 8 and is located at its upper end position, and thus the mirror 7 is prepared in the stay 6 in a state of use in which it protrudes approximately at right angles to the pipe 2. Next, the handle pipe 2 When folding the
The stay 6 is rotated and moved downward along the guide groove 8 to its lower end position, and thus the mirror 7 is in the stay 6 at an inward position approximately along the handle pipe 2 and is moved outward. There is no inconvenience when it sticks out as it is.

In this way, according to the present invention, the handle 2 is
It is formed of a pipe portion 2a extending upwardly at the front of the vehicle body 1 and a grip portion 2b extending outward from the upper end of the pipe portion 2a, and is foldably attached to the vehicle body 1 at the lower end of the pipe 2a. Because of this, the folding axis of the pipe section 2a can be arranged at a low position and its storage can be made compact.
b is placed at a predetermined height without changing the posture of the occupant, and the Mira stay 6 has a mounting portion 6a and a Mira support portion 6 that is bent from the mounting portion 6a and extends outward.
b, and is attached to the inside of the grip part 2b via the ball joint 5 provided on the attachment part 6a, so the mirror 7 can be easily disposed on the side of the grip part 2b. This is because a vertical guide groove 8 is formed on the side surface of the ball joint 5 to allow the mounting portion 6a to tilt and to allow the mirror support portion 6b to be folded along the pipe portion 2a. The linearly extending pipe portion 2a and mirror support portion 6b have the advantage that they can be easily stacked and folded, making it extremely easy to store them.
