Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a sound device for lightweight motorcycles, scooters, etc. called family types.

Some heavy-duty motorcycles use the center of the steering wheel, that is, the space around the instrument panel, to install audio equipment such as radios and cassette recorders, but lightweight motorcycles use the space around the instrument panel to install audio equipment. There is no convenient place to attach the device. However, even lightweight motorcycles are desired to be equipped with radios, cassette recorders, etc.

The present invention focuses on the fact that the aforementioned lightweight motorcycles and scooters are generally equipped with leg shields, and utilizes the leg shields to cleverly and compactly mount audio equipment.

As shown in the drawing, a storage compartment 3 is provided on the rear surface of the leg shield 1 at the front of the vehicle body, and the storage compartment 3 is covered with a door-type lid 2 whose lower end is attached to the leg shield 1 with a hinge 7. The gist is that an audio device 4 such as a radio or a cassette recorder is installed.

The audio equipment 4 has a manual mechanism consisting of a lever, a link, etc., or a compression spring 5, so that when the door-type lid 2 is opened, the operation panel of the audio equipment 4 moves to an easy-to-operate position (indicated by a chain line 41). It is possible to provide a built-in automatic mechanism. The lid 2 is equipped with a lock 8.

In the present invention, as described above, the storage compartment 3 is provided on the rear surface of the leg shield 1, and the audio equipment 4 is attached to the back of the door-type lid 2 that covers the storage compartment 3. Scooters and family-type motorcycles that do not have space to install equipment also have a storage compartment 3 on the rear of the leg shield 1, but the back 31 (front side) of the storage compartment 3 is narrow, so it is difficult to place audio equipment directly on the wall of the storage compartment. Audio equipment can be easily installed even on models that cannot be installed. Therefore, the audio equipment can be installed on existing vehicles that have door-type lids that cover storage compartments.

And a door-type lid 2 with an audio device 4 attached to the back side
has its lower end attached to the leg shield 1 with a hinge 7, so when the upper end of the lid 2 is pulled toward you, the audio equipment 4 will also come out to the front, allowing you to easily operate the audio equipment 4. The audio equipment 4 does not get stuck when taking out or taking out an item stored in the back.

Since the opening of the storage compartment 3 is closed by the door-type lid 2 while the vehicle is running, the audio equipment 4 attached to the back of the lid 2 is not covered with dust or rain, and the audio equipment 4 has excellent weather resistance. .

Since the storage compartment 3 is generally provided with a lock, there is no risk that the audio equipment 4 will be tampered with or stolen by others while the vehicle is parked.
