Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an improvement of a basket that is attached to the body cover of a vehicle such as a motorcycle, scooter, or bicycle.

(Prior art) To attach the front basket of a motorcycle, scooter, bicycle, etc. to the front cover of the vehicle body,
As shown in FIG. 8, a mounting plate 44 is provided on the back surface of the basket 10, and bolt insertion holes 48 are formed in the mounting plate 44 at positions corresponding to the plurality of bolt fitting holes 42 provided in the cover 42. The holes 46 and 48 of the mounting plate 44 and the cover 42 are aligned, and bolts 50 are passed through them to fix the basket 10.

(Problem to be Solved) By the way, since the bolt fitting holes 46 of the vehicle body cover are provided at appropriate positions depending on the design, size, etc. of the cover 42, the bolt insertion holes 48 formed in the basket are It must correspond to the position of the bolt fitting hole 46.

In Fig. 8, conventionally, the horizontal pitch A and the vertical pitch B between the bolt fitting holes are different for each model of motorcycle, etc., and the number of holes is also different, so the bolt insertion that fits the bolt fitting hole of each vehicle body cover is different. A basket with holes 48 was manufactured. Therefore, if the model was different, the basket could not be attached, which was extremely inconvenient. Furthermore, it became necessary to maintain a stock of baskets for each model, creating an inventory burden.

When a particular model is scrapped, the basket for that model has no other suitable use and is therefore uneconomical.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention reveals a basket that can be attached to a vehicle body cover even if the vertical and horizontal pitches and numbers of attachment bolts are different.

The present invention includes two straight guide members 1 that slightly protrude outward from the back surface 12 of the basket 10 and extend longitudinally and parallelly between the upper and lower portions of the basket.
8,18.

A pair of stays 20, 20 straddles between the guide members.
Attach.

The stay 20 has an insertion hole 22 approximately in the center into which a bolt for mounting to the vehicle body cover 42 is inserted, and the hole 22
Slot holes 24, 24 into which bolts can be inserted are opened in the longitudinal direction of the stay on both sides of the stay.

Both ends of the stay 20 form bent pieces 27, 27 bent toward the back side of the basket, and a projecting piece 26 projecting outward from the tip of the bent piece approximately parallel to the back side of the basket.

A presser plate 30 is applied to the protruding piece 26 of the stay 20 with the guide member 18 interposed therebetween, and is removably fixed with screws.

Groove members 26a and 30a into which the guide member 18 is fitted are formed in the projecting pieces 26 at both ends of the stay 20 and the press plate 30.

(Function and Effect) Groove portions 26a, 30 of stay 20 and presser plate 30
Fit the guide member 18 to a, and attach the presser plate 30 to the stay 2.
At the same time, the stay is fixed to the vehicle body cover with bolts 50.

By loosening the screws that attach the presser plate 30 to the stay 20, the stay 20 can be attached to the guide member 18,
Since the stays 20 and 20 can be slid up and down as they fit between the stays 20 and 18, the distance between the stays 20 and 20 can be adjusted in accordance with the vertical height of the mounting bolt 50 on the vehicle body cover to which the basket is attached. Furthermore, since the left and right spacing between the mounting bolts 50 can be accommodated by the slots 24 of the stay, it can be mounted on vehicles with different mounting bolt positions, providing versatility.

(Embodiment) In FIG. 1, guide members 18, 18 project slightly outward from the back surface 12 of the basket 10, extend in the longitudinal direction, and are formed astride between the upper and lower portions of the basket. Note that the guide member 18 is preferably formed by bending a metal wire in the following manner from the viewpoint of ease of manufacture and strength. That is, a horizontal support member 14 is provided, the support member is fixed to the upper end of the back of the basket, and both ends of the support member are bent outward to slightly protrude, and further bent in the vertical direction to extend toward the bottom of the basket. They extend parallel to each other, are bent toward the basket at the bottom of the basket, and their bent ends 18a are fixed to the bottom 16 of the basket.

As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 4, and 6, both ends of the stay 20 include a bent piece 27 bent toward the back surface of the basket, and a tip of the bent piece protrudes approximately parallel to the back surface of the basket. A groove 26a into which the guide member 18 is fitted is formed in the protrusion 26, and a bolt insertion hole 28 is formed outside the groove. Both ends 26a, 2 of the stay 20
The distance between the guide members 6a corresponds to the distance between the guide members 18,18.

The stay 20 has a bolt insertion hole 22 approximately in the center thereof, and slots 24, 24 for bolt insertion extending in the longitudinal direction are formed on both sides of the insertion hole, respectively.

One end of the pressure plate 30 is curved in an arc shape, and the inner surface of the curved portion forms a groove 34 into which the guide member 18 fits, and a bolt insertion hole 32 is formed at the other end.

Next, a method for attaching the basket 10 to the front cover 42 of the scooter 40 will be explained.

In the case of the scooter of the type shown in Fig. 3, there are bolts 50 for attaching the basket to the front cover 42 of the vehicle body.
There are one protruding piece on the upper part and two protruding pieces on the lower part.
Note that the bolts 50 do not necessarily need to be fixed in advance, and the bolts 50 may be inserted into the front cover 42 from the inner surface of the stay 20 and fixed with nuts on the inner surface of the cover.

First, the distance piece 54 is fitted onto the bolt 50, and each stay 20, 20 is inserted into the respective bolt insertion hole 2.
Pass the bolt 50 through the slots 24, 24 on either side of the two stays 20, 2 using the nuts 52.
0 onto the front cover 42 horizontally and parallelly.

Next, the guide member 18 of the basket 10 is fitted into the groove 26a of the protruding pieces 26, 26 of the stay 20, the holding plate 30 is applied to the protruding piece 26, the guiding member 18 is fitted into the groove 30a of the holding plate 30, and this In this state, the bolt insertion holes 28, 3 of the holding plate 30 and the protruding piece 26
2, and tighten it with a nut 38.

This allows the basket 10 to be attached to the cover 4 of the vehicle body.
2 can be firmly attached.

Since the slots 24, 24 of the stay 20 extend long in the lateral direction, even if the lateral dimension between the bolts 50, 50 varies depending on the type of scooter, etc., it can be made to correspond to that dimension. Further, since the stay 20 can be attached to any position in the vertical direction of the guide members 18, 18, there is no problem in attaching the basket 10 even if the vertical dimensions between the bolts 50, 50 are different.

Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, the mounting position of the vehicle body cover is 3.
The center position in the width direction is determined by the hole 22 at the center of the stay. In this case, the slots 24, 24 in the upper stay are unnecessary, but if the slots 24 are provided, it can be used even if the vehicle body cover is installed in four locations, two on the top and two on the top, on another model. Increased versatility.

The basket of the present invention is extremely economical since it is not necessary to prepare a basket suitable for each model of motorcycle or the like.

It goes without saying that the configuration of each part of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, but can be modified in various ways within the technical scope of the claims for utility model registration.
