Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a luggage loading device for a motorcycle having a rear fender extending rearward from a driver's seat.

(Background of the Invention) Some motorcycles having a tandem seat are provided with hooks for hanging luggage strings or the like on the lower left and right sides of the rear seat of the tandem seat, so that luggage can be placed on the rear seat. However, when loading luggage on the rear seat in this way, there is a problem in that the stability of the luggage is poor because the rear seat is soft.

There are also models that have a separate luggage stand fixed to the fender behind the driver's seat. However, since these luggage platforms are usually made by welding metal rods and metal pipes, they not only become significantly heavier and have more parts, but also cause the driver's body to move when the driver changes his or her driving position significantly back and forth. There was also the problem that the luggage rack easily came into contact with the luggage rack.

(Objective of the Invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is suitable for reducing the weight of a vehicle and the number of parts because it provides good stability for cargo, and prevents body contact even when the driving posture changes significantly. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a luggage loading device for a motorcycle that does not have any problems.

(Structure of the Invention) According to the present invention, the object is to provide a motorcycle equipped with a rear fender extending rearward from a driver's seat, including a support frame extending rearward from the driver's seat and supporting left and right side edges of the rear fender from below; This is achieved by a luggage loading device for a motorcycle, characterized in that two surfaces of the rear fender are substantially horizontal luggage/loading platforms, and a luggage fixing tool can be locked to the support fender.

A down tube 22 and a pair of left and right pack tubes 20 (only one shown) that support the. An engine 24 is installed between the down tube 22 and the lower end of the upright tube 16.

26 is a front fork, 28 is a steering front wheel, 30 is a steering handlebar, 32 is a fuel tank installed so as to straddle the main tube 14, and 34 is a tandem driving seat installed on the seat rail 18. be.

Reference numeral 36 denotes a driving rear wheel, which is attached to the vehicle body frame 10 by a rear arm 38 so as to be freely movable. This rear arm 38 is supported by one shock absorber 40. Further, 42 is an exhaust muffler.

44 is a rear fender, and 46 is a support frame that supports the left and right side edges of the rear fender from below. This support frame 46 includes a pair of left and right horizontal members 46a and 46b (FIG. 2.4), and cross members 46c and 46d that connect these horizontal members 46a and 46b. The front ends of the horizontal members 46a and 46b are connected to the seat rail 18.
It is fixed by bolts to a pair of left and right auxiliary tubes 48 (only one shown, FIG. 1.3) that connects the rear end and the back tube 20. Further, the horizontal members 46a and 46b have a bracket 50 (50a) that projects inwardly in front of the cross member 46c.

50b (FIG. 2) is fixed, and this bracket 50 is fixed to the rear end of the seat rail 18 by a bolt 52 (FIG. 3). A plurality of hooks 54 protruding inward are fixed to these horizontal members 46a, 46b.

A license bracket 56 is fixed to a cross member 46d at the rear end of the support frame 46. A taillight 58 and a license plate (not shown) are attached to the license bracket 56.

The rear fender 44 is integrally molded from synthetic resin so as to extend toward the rear of the driver's seat 34. This rear fender 4
Reference numeral 4 denotes a cargo platform 44a whose upper surface is substantially horizontal, and the left and right side edges of this cargo platform 44a are connected to members 46a of the support frame 46.

It is bent so as to cover the outer upper half of 46b. In addition, a large number of concave and convex portions extending in the front and back direction are formed on the cargo platform 44a to increase its rigidity. In the rear fender 44, the driver's seat 34 is located in front of this luggage platform 44a.
The downwardly extending portion of the driver's seat 34 is fixed by a port 62 to a cross member 60 connecting the seat rails 18a and 18b (FIG. 3).

In addition, the rear part of the luggage platform 44a has two wooden ports 64 (64a, 64b) attached to the cross member 46d of the support frame 46.
is fixed. The upper surface of the loss member 46c supports the lower surface of the cargo platform a (FIG. 3.4).

In FIG. 1.5, 66 is a side cover, and this side cover 66 is removably attached to the vehicle body frame 10 so as to be continuous with the lower edge of the driver's seat 34. Here, a flange portion 34b projecting downward is integrally formed on the bottom plate 34a of the driver's seat 34, and the upper edge of the side cover 66 is positioned by coming into contact with this flange portion 34b.

Note that a battery 68, a tool 70, etc. are housed inside the side cover 66, as shown in FIG.

Therefore, when loading cargo, place it on the rear fender 44.
The cargo is placed on the cargo loading table 44a, and the cargo straps, nets, etc. used as cargo fixing tools are placed on the hooks 5 of the horizontal members 46a and 46b.
Lock at 4. As a result, the load is firmly and stably held on the support fender 46 and the support frame 46.

FIG. 6 is a sectional view showing another embodiment.
A cross section taken at a position corresponding to line IV. In this embodiment, a concave portion 144b is formed in the cargo mounting table 144a of the carrier fender 144.
A groove 144C is formed to surround this groove, and a cover plate 144d made of synthetic resin that closes this groove 144b is engaged with the groove 144c and fixed with appropriate screws or the like (not shown). It is. According to this embodiment, this recess 144b
The inside can be used as a storage room for small items such as luggage nets. In this figure, the same parts as those in FIG. 4 are given the same reference numerals, so their description will not be repeated.

In each of the above embodiments, the horizontal member 46 of the support fender 46
Since the hooks 54 are provided on the horizontal members 46a and 46b, it becomes easy to lock luggage fixing devices such as luggage strap nets, but in the present invention, the hooks 54 are omitted and these luggage fixing devices can be attached to the horizontal members 46a and 46b themselves. This includes those that can be stopped.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention supports the lower surfaces of the left and right side edges of the rear fender on the support frame extending rearward from the driver's seat, and uses the upper surface of the rear fender as a substantially horizontal cargo loading platform.
The support frame is capable of locking luggage fixing devices such as luggage straps and nets. Therefore, the cargo can be placed on the upper surface of the rear fender and fixed to the support frame using the cargo fixing tool, resulting in good cargo stability. Furthermore, since a separate luggage rack is not required, it is possible to reduce the weight and the number of parts. Furthermore, since the luggage platform is never wider than the width of the rear fender, the driver's body does not come into contact with the luggage platform even when the driver moves his or her body significantly in the front-back direction while driving.
