Abstract

DC60 (02/02/42) The gauge housing is inserted from the top into the gauge support slot provided in the rear grab handle cover. The housing's locking protrusion is then secured to the support protrusion of the rear grab handle cover, preventing it from moving out of the housing. A male connector is pre-provided in the rear grab handle cover, and inserting the gauge housing into the support slot automatically connects the gauge's female connector to the male connector, thus completing the gauge housing wiring. Therefore, wiring for the gauge housing mounted on the motorcycle's rear grab handle cover can be carried out easily and reliably. The gauge housing is inserted from the top into the gauge support slot provided in the rear grab handle cover. The housing's locking protrusion is then secured to the support protrusion of the rear grab handle cover, preventing it from moving out of the housing. A male connector is pre-provided in the rear grab handle cover, and inserting the gauge housing into the gauge support slot automatically connects the gauge's female connector to the male connector. With a male connector, the wiring work for the instrument cluster is completed. Therefore, the wiring of the instrument cluster, which is installed on the rear grab handle cover of the motorcycle, can be carried out easily and reliably.

Claims (10)

1. The wiring structure for the motorcycle is to electrically connect the meter (5) mounted on the handlebar cover (1) of the motorcycle to the conductor (22) provided in the handlebar cover (1). Here, the handlebar cover connector (25) of the wiring structure connected to conductor (22) is provided in the meter support slot (43) molded in the handlebar cover (1), and the meter (5) is inserted into the meter support slot (43). Here, in order to connect the meter-side connector (44) of the wiring structure provided in the meter (5) to the handlebar cover connector (25), 2. The wiring structure for the motorcycle conforms to Requisition 1, whereby the securing protrusions (41 1, 41 2, 41 3) are provided on one side of the gauge (5), and the holding cover (1) and the protrusion support sections (4 1, 1 8, 1 9) are provided on the other side of the holding cover (1) and the gauge (5). The securing protrusions (41 1, 41 2, 41 3) mentioned above and the protrusion support sections (4 1, 1 8, 1 9) mentioned above are securely fastened together to prevent the gauge (5) from moving out of the gauge support slot (43) of the holding cover (1). 3. A wiring structure for a motorcycle that conforms to claim 1 or 2, where the conductor (22) is constructed from a busbar made of sheet metal or rod metal embedded in synthetic resin (21). 4. The wiring structure for the motorcycle conforms to any one of the claims 1 through 3, which shall also include a centering method (47,25 2) to support the instrument side connector (44) floating relative to the instrument (5), and to center the instrument side connector (44) and the handlebar cover connector (25) relative to each other by the centering method (47,25 2) mentioned above, shall be provided between the two connectors (44,25). 5. The wiring structure for the motorcycle is designed to electrically connect the switch (Ss) mounted on the handlebar cover (1) to the conductor (22) provided in the handlebar cover (1). In this case, the conductor (22) is made up of a busbar constructed from a metal plate or rod embedded in the synthetic resin busbar embedding layer (21). The end (56) of the busbar (22) is made to extend from the busbar embedding layer (21) directly into the opening (26) molded in the handlebar cover (1) to form the busbar connector terminals of the wiring structure and the switch connector terminals (55) of the wiring structure provided in the switch (Ss). The switch connector terminals (56) are inserted into the opening (26) to connect the busbar connector terminals (56) and the switch connector terminals (55). 6. The wiring procedure for a motorcycle to deliver electrical current to the electrical components (5,Ss) mounted on the motorcycle's handlebar cover (1) consists of: the injection molding of the busbar base layer (21), which is made of synthetic resin and contains several busbars (22) made of sheet metal or rods embedded within; the busbars (22) have ends (20,56) that protrude from the busbar base layer (21) to form the busbar connector terminals; the injection molding of the handlebar cover (1), made of synthetic resin to enclose at least part of the busbar base layer (21); the handlebar cover (1) which has an opening (26) to which the busbar connector terminals (22) protrude; and the installation procedure. The electrical component (5,Ss) is mounted on the holder (1). The electrical component (5,Ss) has the terminals of the electrical component side connectors (50, 55) positioned so that the movement of the electrical component (5,Ss) to its position on the holder (1) electrically connects the terminals of the electrical component side connectors (50, 55) to the terminals of the busbar side connectors (20,56). 7. A wiring method for motorcycles that complies with claim 6, whereby during the injection molding of the busbar base layer (21) a number of busbars (22) are connected together via connection sections (23), the connection sections (23) are cut or removed after injection molding on the busbar base layer (21). 8. A wiring method for motorcycles that complies with claim 7, whereby the busbar base (21) has an opening (21 1-21 10), to which the connection part (21) is facing, and the busbar (22) is secured through the opening (21 1-21 10), once the busbar base (21) has been injection molded, and after injection molding of the busbar base (21), the connection part (23) is cut or removed through the opening (21 1-21 10). 9. A wiring method for motorcycles that complies with claim 8, whereby the handle cover (1) is injection molded, the openings (21 1-21 10) of the base layer for embedding the busbar (21) are covered with synthetic resin in order to fill the openings (21 1-21 10). 10. The handlebar housing (1) for the motorcycle has an electrical component (5,Ss) which is installed in an opening (26,43) in the handlebar housing (1) and connected to a conductor (22) supported in the handlebar housing (1) with the characteristic that the electrical component (5,Ss) is connected to the conductor (22) by a connector which has one part (25,56) fixed to the handlebar housing (1) and a second part (44,54) fixed to the handlebar housing (1) and the second part (44,54) fixed to the electrical component (5,Ss) which by the two parts (25,56; 44,54) of the connector are engaged with each other by the movement of the electrical component (5,Ss) into the opening (26,43).
