Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a foot pedal protection device for a motorcycle, which protects the base of the foot pedal arm of the motorcycle from flying stones and the like.

(Prior Art and its Problems) In general, motorcycles are equipped with a hand lever on the handlebar and a foot petal near the steps at the bottom of the vehicle body, which are operated with hands or feet while riding.

By the way, when driving on rough roads, stones, pieces of wood, and other foreign objects may fly off and hit the steps and footpetals provided at the bottom of the vehicle.
In particular, it is undesirable for foreign objects to hit the base of the arm of a foot pedal that is operated by foot.

The present invention was devised to solve this problem, and although it has a simple structure, it can reliably prevent stones, wood chips, and other foreign objects that fly during driving from hitting the base of the foot pedal arm. It is an object of the present invention to provide a foot pedal protection device for a motorcycle that can prevent such problems.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the foot pedal protection device for a motorcycle of the present invention includes a foot pedal protection device provided at the lower part of the body frame and protruding outward from the lower part of the body frame. In a motorcycle in which a base of a foot pedal arm is inserted into a space defined by a lateral member and a step holder attached to a protruding end of the lateral member, an upper surface wall covering an upper surface of the space and the space are provided. a protection plate having a substantially L-shaped side surface and a front wall covering the front surface of the protection plate; an arm insertion hole through which the base of the arm is inserted without a gap is provided in the front wall of the protection plate; The invention is characterized in that the protection plate moves together with the arm by inserting the base of the arm into the hole.

(Function) The base of the foot pedal arm has a protective plate on its top and front surface, and a body frame on the inside.
The outer surface is protected by the step holder and the lower surface by the cross member. In addition, since the protection plate moves together with the arm of the hood pedal, even if mud or the like adheres to the protection plate, the movement of the protection plate will prevent
Adhering mud, etc. will fall off naturally.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. Figure 1 is a perspective view of the vicinity of the foot brake pedal of a motorcycle to which the present invention is applied;
is an engine, and the engine 1 is mounted on a vehicle body frame 2. A short-axis rod-shaped horizontal member 2a projects horizontally outward from the lower part of the vehicle body frame 2, and the projecting end of the horizontal member 2a has a predetermined distance from the vehicle body frame 2. A step holder 3 having opposing substantially triangular sides is attached by a bolt 3a. This step holder 3
A step 4 is attached to the outer surface of the holder. the lower part of the vehicle body frame 2, the horizontal member 2a,
In the space defined by the step holder 3, there is a foot brake pedal (foot pedal).
The base of the arm 5a of No. 5 is inserted through the brake shaft, and the base end of the arm 5a is fixed to the brake shaft 6 with a bolt 6a. One side of a substantially L-shaped metal fitting 5b is fixed to the inner surface of the base of the arm 5a (the surface facing the vehicle body frame 2) in order to assemble a protective plate 7 for protecting the base of the arm 5a. .
The protection plate 7 is made of rubber or plastic, and has an upper surface wall 7a that covers the upper surface of the space.
and a front wall 7b that covers the front surface of the space. The front wall 7
b is provided with an insertion hole 7c through which the base of the arm 5a is inserted without any gap. Also,
A slit 7d, into which the other side of the metal fitting 5b is inserted, is formed on the inner surface of the front wall 7b, and is laterally aligned with the insertion hole 7c. The protection plate 7
The arm 5a of the foot brake pedal 5 is inserted into the insertion hole 7c of the foot brake pedal 5, and the other side of the L-shaped metal fitting 5b provided on the arm 5a is inserted into the slit 7d on the inner surface of the protection plate 7. The plate 7 is assembled to the base of the arm 5a. Therefore, the protection plate 7 moves together with the arm 5a and protects the upper surface and front surface of the base of the arm 5a.
Further, the inner surface of the base of the arm 5a is protected by the vehicle body frame 2, the outer surface is protected by the step holder 3, and the lower surface is protected by the horizontal member 2.

In addition, although the case where it applied to a brake pedal was demonstrated in this Example, it is not limited to this. It can also be applied to a change pedal for gear shifting.

(Effects of the invention) As detailed above, the foot pedal protection device for a motorcycle of the present invention has a roughly L-shaped side protection plate provided at the base of the arm of the foot pedal, covering the front and top surfaces of the base of the arm. The inner, outer and lower surfaces of the base of the arm are part of the vehicle body frame,
Together with the protection provided by the step holder and the horizontal member, it is possible to reliably prevent stones, pieces of wood, and other foreign objects that fly away when driving on rough roads from hitting the base of the arm of the foot pedal.

In addition, the arm insertion hole drilled in the front wall of the protection plate is inserted into the base of the arm without a gap, so that there is virtually no opening in the front wall of the protection plate, and the arm insertion hole is inserted into the base of the arm without any gap. The front surface of the base can be reliably covered. Furthermore, since the protective plate is made to move together with the arm, even if mud or the like adheres to the protective plate, the adhered mud or the like will naturally fall off due to the movement of the protective plate. Furthermore, since it can be constructed by attaching a side L-shaped protection plate to the base of the arm, the construction is simple and can be installed with almost no effect on cost.
