Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a switch opening/closing display device for motorcycles and tricycles.

Conventionally, it is known that a switch is disposed close to a grip of a steering handle, and the grip and the outer periphery of the switch are covered with a hard or semi-hard hand cover. This hand cover is effective in protecting the rider's hands from the cold and collisions with other objects, but has the disadvantage that it also covers the switch, making it impossible to visually check whether it is open or closed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an opening/closing display device which eliminates such problems and allows the user to visually check the opening/closing status of a switch.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a steering handle of a motorcycle, and a grip 2 is fitted to the end thereof, and a brake lever 3 is pivotally supported. Ru. Further, a lighting switch 4 as a switch is disposed on the steering handle 1 close to the inner end of the grip 2. The lighting switch 4 has a reciprocating operator 5 that protrudes toward the rear of the vehicle, and is opened (OFF) when the operator 5 is in the left inactive position, while the operator 5 is in the right operating position. If so, it will be closed (ON).

Furthermore, a hand cover 6 made of hard or semi-hard synthetic resin is attached to the steering handle 1, and the hand cover 6 allows the grip 2,
Brake lever 3 and lighting switch 4
is covered.

The hand cover 6 has a hand insertion opening 6a that opens toward the rear of the vehicle, and a display section 6b made of a liquid crystal display element or the like is provided on the upper surface of the cover 6. The ON/OFF display on the display section 6b corresponds to the opening (ON) or closing (OFF) of the lighting switch 4, so that the lighting switch 4 and the display section 6b are electrically connected. Even if the switch 4 is covered, the opening/closing status of the switch 4 can be visually confirmed very easily on the display section 6b.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment, in which the display section 6b
In addition to "ON" and "OFF" indicators, lamps 7 and 8 are provided at each indicator position, and these are turned on or off.

As described above, according to the present invention, the steering handle 1
In a motorcycle or tricycle in which a switch 4 is disposed close to the grip 2 of the rider, and the outer peripheries of the grip 2 and the switch 4 are covered with a hard or semi-hard hand cover 6 that protects the rider's hands, the hand cover 6 is Since a display section 6b that electrically displays the open/close status of the switch 4 is provided on the top surface, even if the switch 4 is covered by the hand cover 6, the open/close status of the switch 4 can be visually recognized very easily.
