Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a rear direction indicating device attached to a saddle bag of a motorcycle, and particularly to improving the maintainability thereof.

[Conventional technology]

The rear direction indicator is used to inform following vehicles of the direction in which the vehicle is turning, and is located on the left side of the rear of the vehicle.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a rear direction indicator device for a motorcycle equipped with a saddle bag on the right side has been attached to the saddle bag. When attaching a direction indicator to a saddlebag in this manner, it is common to provide a holding recess in the lower end portion of the rear outer corner of the saddlebag, and to attach the direction indicator light body there.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the case where the direction indicator light body is attached to the above-mentioned holding recess,
When replacing a bulb due to breakage or the like, it is necessary to remove the direction indicator light body, which poses a problem of poor maintainability.

On the other hand, in order to facilitate valve replacement, the holding recess is
Some models had a bulb replacement hole formed on the back side of the turn signal light body, but in this case, the bulb wiring had to pass through the saddle bag, making the wiring work complicated, and the above-mentioned bulb replacement hole was not included. There are problems such as the need to have a waterproof structure.

The present invention has been made in view of these conventional problems, and is an automatic system that can improve maintainability when replacing valves, and that does not cause problems such as complicated wiring and the need for a waterproof structure. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a rear direction indicator for a two-wheeled vehicle.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention relates to a rear direction indicator device for a motorcycle, in which a direction indicator body is attached to the lower part of a saddle bag, a hole is formed in the lower surface of the indicator light body, and a bulb is inserted from below the hole. Further, the lower part of the direction indicator light body is covered with a decorative molding.

[Effect]

In the rear direction indicator device for a motorcycle according to the present invention, since the bulb is installed from below, the bulb can be replaced without removing the direction indicator body, and the wiring for the bulb is arranged outside the saddle bag. This eliminates the need for complicated wiring work and the need for a waterproof structure, and since the wiring is covered with decorative molding, the appearance does not deteriorate.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 to 5 show a rear direction indicating device for a motorcycle according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, ■ is a motorcycle, in which an engine 2a is mounted approximately in the center of the vehicle body 2, a front fork 2c supporting a front wheel 2b is mounted at the front, and a rear arm supporting a rear wheel 2d is located at the rear. 2e
are each pivotally supported, and a sea) 2f is placed on top.

A truck rack 3 for accommodating luggage is mounted behind the seat 2f of the vehicle body 2, and saddle bags 4 for accommodating luggage are attached via mounting stays 12 to the rear left and right sides. It is being This saddle bag 4
consists of a box-shaped hang body 6 with an open top, and a bag lid 5 that opens and closes the opening. This bag body 6
A holding recess 6a is formed in the lower end portion of the rear outer corner portion of the holding recess 6a, and the holding recess 6a consists of a front portion 6b and a rear portion 6C.

A rear direction indicating device 8 is disposed in the holding recess 6a, and the rear direction indicating device 8 has a substantially 1-shape along the holding recess 6a when viewed from above. The device 8
The body 7 is formed by integrally forming a reflector body 7a and an indicator light body 7d, and a mounting mounted on the body 7 is fixed to a holding recess 6a of the saddlebag 6 with a bolt 13. The reflector body 7a has a reflector plate 7.
b is attached, and this portion serves as the side reflecting mirror 8a. Further, the direction indicator lens 7 is attached to the indicator light body 7d.
e is attached, and this part becomes the direction indicator light main body 8b.

A bulb insertion hole 7 is provided on the lower surface of the indicator light body 7d.
g is formed, and the valve 9 is inserted into this insertion hole 7g from below and fixed.

Further, a rear reflector 10 is installed between the left and right direction indicator bodies 8b, and these direction indicator bodies Bb
A decorative trimming molding 11 is attached to the lower part of the side and rear reflectors 8a and 10, and this trimming molding 11 is U-shaped when viewed from above, and is attached to the mounting stay 12 for the saddlebag 6. It covers the lower part and the wiring 9a to the above-mentioned valve 9.

Next, the effects will be explained.

In the rear direction indicator 8 of this embodiment, when replacing the bulb 9, insert your hand from below the trimming molding 11 and remove the bulb 9 downward along with the holder 9b, then remove the bulb 9 from the holder 9b, and replace it with a new one. exchange something. In this way, since there is no need to remove the trimming molding 11 or the direction indicator light body 8b, the bulb 9 can be replaced in a very short time and easily.

Further, since there is no need to arrange wiring inside the saddlebag as in the case where a hole for replacing a valve is made in a conventional saddlebag, the wiring work is very simple, and there is no need for a waterproof structure. Also, the wiring 9 arranged outside the saddlebag
Since the area a is covered by the trimming molding 11, the appearance will not deteriorate.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the case where the direction indicator light main body 8b and the side attached mirror 8a are integrally formed is explained.
Of course, the present invention can also be applied to rear direction indicating devices formed in China and Germany.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the rear direction indicator device for a motorcycle according to the present invention, the direction indicator light main body is attached below the saddle hang, a hole is formed in the lower surface of the direction indicator light body, and a hole is formed in the lower surface of the direction indicator light body, and this attachment is carried out from below into the hole. Since the valve is installed by inserting it, the valve can be replaced easily and in a short time, which has the effect of improving maintainability.
