Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a taillight device for an all-terrain vehicle equipped with two rear wheels.

It has a total of three wheels, one front wheel and two rear wheels, or a total of four wheels, two front and rear wheels, and a frame consisting of left and right rod-shaped members hanging above and behind the seat, and further down the rear, and is called a balloon tire. Rough-terrain vehicles equipped with ultra-low-pressure tires are in practical use.

The above vehicles have the engine behind the passenger seat, and for driving on muddy, sandy, and rough terrain, the air intake of the air cleaner attached to the engine is installed at the rear and at the bottom near the engine. , sand, dust, etc. may be thrown up by the drive of the rear wheels and enter through the intake port.

Therefore, by installing the air intake chamber of the air cleaner between the rear upper parts of the left and right rod-shaped members that form part of the frame, the intake port is unevenly located above the rear wheel, thereby preventing the intrusion of mud, sand, dust, etc. It is desirable to prevent this.

On the other hand, a tail light unit, such as a brake light, is provided at the rear of the vehicle and is usually attached to the frame body behind the engine via brackets and stays. However, this requires brackets and stays, which increases the number of parts, and since the tail light is provided in the middle or lower part of the overall height of the frame, it may be affected by mud, etc., so there is still room for improvement.

The present invention was developed in view of the above, and its purpose is to reduce the number of parts by mounting and supporting the tail light unit using existing members, and to create a vehicle in which the tail light unit is easier to see than before. We are here to provide you with tail light equipment.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has an air intake body installed horizontally between the rear upper parts of the left and right rod members that form part of the frame, and a tail light is integrally provided on the air intake body. This is the summary.

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

and a forward-slanting sub-pipe 26, which is fixed to the rear end of this and the upper pipes 21, 21 by welding or the like.
It consists of 26.

A roll bar 30 is provided on the main frames 20, 20, and the roll bar 30 includes two parallel pipes 31, 31 of the same shape on the left and right, and the intermediate portions 311, 311 of the pipes 31, 31 are connected to the seat 5. The front parts 312, 312 are tilted forward and downward, and their front ends are connected to the rear ends of the pipes 25, 25, and the rear parts 313, 313 are tilted backward and downward, and their lower ends are connected to the rear ends of the pipes 25, 25. It is connected to the rear end portions of the upper pipes 21, 21. Above left and right pipe 3
Cross pipes 32, 33 are installed horizontally before and after the intermediate portions 311, 311 of No. 1, 31, and left and right rear pipes 34, 34 are installed vertically between the rear portions of the intermediate portions and the rear portions of the upper pipes 21, 21, respectively.

The left and right pipes 3 forming the roll bar 30
The middle part 311, 31 immediately after the rear cross pipe 33 of the middle part 311, 311 located at a high position of 1, 31
An air intake body 40 of the air cleaner is installed between the rear end of the air cleaner 1 and the upper end of the rear parts 313, 313.
In the embodiment, the air intake body 40 has a polygonal, horizontally elongated closed box shape and is molded from synthetic resin or the like. The mounting support of the intake body 40 is as shown in FIG.
Mounting boss portions 42 are attached to the left and right side walls 41 of the intake body 40.
On the other hand, supporting bosses 35 are provided inwardly protruding from the above-mentioned positions of the pipes 31, 31, and both bosses are connected to connect the intake body 40 to the pipes 31, 31. It will be constructed between the rear and upper parts.

An air intake port 44 that opens rearward is provided at one side of the rear wall 43 in the left-right direction of the intake body 40, and an air intake port 45 is provided at the other side, and a connecting pipe 50 such as a flexible tube is provided at the other side. The connecting pipe 50 hangs down along the rear pipe 34 on this side, and is connected to an air cleaner (not shown) provided near the engine 6.

A tail light 60 is provided at the middle portion of the rear wall 43 of the above-mentioned intake body 40 in the left-right direction. Specifically, a horizontally elongated opening 46 is provided in the rear wall 43, a projecting edge 47 is provided around the opening 46 so as to surround this in the rear, and the tail light 60 touches the rear surface of the flange portion 61 on the edge of the projecting edge 47. a horizontal rectangular lens 62 that is supported in contact with the lens;
