Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a toolbox device used in motorcycles and the like.

For example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 56-102783 has been proposed as a tool box for motorcycles, and this tool box has a left and right box, a lid that opens and closes laterally with the lower end as a hinge, and a locking part provided on the lid. A locking piece provided on the frame side that protrudes and retracts in the front-rear direction is inserted into and removed from the locking hole to lock and release the lock.

The conventional tool box described above has disadvantages such as the lid being opened and closed over the entire length of the box, and the joint surface being extremely long, requiring consideration in terms of waterproofness.Secondly, the lid is Since the box is provided over the entire length of the box and opens outward from the vehicle body, it is difficult to hold the tool when the lid is opened, and there is a risk that the tool may fly out when the lid is opened, so improvements are desired.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above, and its purpose is to provide a tool box device for motorcycles, etc., which is excellent in waterproofness, has excellent tool retention when the lid is opened, and is also favorable in terms of locking. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a bottomed cylindrical tool box body whose front end is closed on the vehicle body side and whose rear end is open, and is mounted and supported so that its length direction is oriented in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body.
At the open rear end of the main body, there is provided a lid body which can be opened and closed by pivoting in the front and rear directions with one end as a hinge, and at the other end of the lid body there is a lock on the vehicle body side that can be locked and unlocked to maintain the closed state of the lid body. The gist of the invention is a tool box device for a motorcycle or the like, which is equipped with an engaging portion that engages and disengages from the tool box device.

Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The upper central portion of the main body 20 is provided with a cylindrical boss portion 20a that protrudes outward from the vehicle body when the main body 20 is installed, and a key cylinder 20b is rotatably fitted into the boss portion 20a.
An arm 20d having a hook portion 20c is connected to the tip end of the cylinder 20b facing into the main body 20,
A key is inserted into a key groove 20e opened on the outer end surface of the cylinder 20b and rotated to lock and unlock the lock.All figures show the locked state. A planar concave lock arm 21 is disposed in the lower half of the main body 20, and the lock arm 21 has a base end 21a pivoted about a pin 22 vertically provided inside one end of the lower half of the main body 20, and a spring 23. is biased in the opening direction. The lock arm 21 has a proximal end 21 connected to the pin 22.
a, a side rod portion 21c extending from the outer end of the base rod portion 21b toward the other end of the main body so as to be parallel to the outer surface of the main body 20; Front rod part 21d bent and extended in 20 directions
A hole 20f opening to the outside is provided on the other end side of the main body 20, and the arm 21 is pivoted against the spring 23 so that the leading end part 21d moves toward the main body 20 side, and the tip of the leading end part 21d is opened. The hook portion 21e of the hole 2
0f, engages with the hook part 20c having the hook part 21e inside, and holds the lock arm 21,
Keep locked. Insert the key into the keyway 20e and turn it in the unlocking direction, which causes the cylinder 2
0b rotates in the same direction, the hook portion 20c comes off from the hook portion 21e, and the lock arm 21 rotates in the unlocking direction due to the action of the spring 23, unlocking the lock. This state is shown by the chain line in FIG. Ta.

The main body 20 of the above locking device 19 is attached to the bracket 14.
Bolts to the mounting base 16 provided at the rear middle part of the
The keyway 20e and the lock arm 21 are connected with screws or the like so that they face outward, and the locking device 19 faces above the rear of the tool box T.

Lock arm 2 when tool box T is closed.
1 is passed through the locking hole 18g of the locking piece 18f of the lid 18 and locked, thereby locking the lid 1.
8 is locked to keep the lid closed, and when the lock arm 21 is unlocked, the locking piece 18f becomes free.
The lid can be opened as shown in FIG. When the helmet is locked, the ring portion 24a of the helmet 24 is passed through the lock arm 21, thereby also functioning as a helmet holder. Therefore, there is no need to provide a separate helmet holder.

In the drawing, reference numeral 25 denotes a seat cowl that hangs down to the side of the seat 10, and the rear portions of the locking device 19 and the tool box T are exposed at the rear of the rear end of the side cover 10.

FIG. 10 shows a modified embodiment of the engaging portion provided in the locking piece 18f of the lid body 18. As shown in the figure, the locking piece 18f is provided with a U-shaped engaging notch 118g that opens rearward. In this case, the front portion of the notch 118g blocks the lock arm 21, and the movement of the lid 18 in the opening direction is prevented. By the way, the notch 118
g has a rougher manufacturing precision than the hole 18g, and it is sufficient to obtain the precision of the portion of the notch 118g that contacts the lock arm 21, which facilitates molding.

Next, to explain its functions and effects in detail, the tool box T is long in the front-rear direction, has a lid at the rear end that pivots in the front-back direction, and therefore has a short lid joint, and is excellent in waterproofness. Moreover, since the tool is housed and held in the main body which is long in the front and back direction when the lid is open, it does not fly out and has excellent retainability.

Further, according to the present invention, since the lid body and the engaging part are provided at the rear end of the main body and exposed from the cover, there is no problem in opening/closing the lid body and locking the lid body. It is possible to obtain a tool box device that allows easy loading and unloading of tools, opening and closing of the lid, and easy lock operation while protecting the main body.

Further, in the present invention, the lid body can be locked with a lock on the vehicle body side, so it is possible to prevent theft of tools and the like stored inside the body.

The present invention has many advantages as described above.
