The wall member 47 includes an opening 46 and a synthetic resin wall member 47 fixed to the rear wall 46a of the box body 46. ,

Inside the wall member 47, a small container 67 is formed which communicates with the upper rear part of the main storage room 56. Since the wall member 47 is formed so as to protrude rearward from the upper part of the rear wall 46a in the box body 46, the accessory case 67 is also formed in the rear wall 46a. It is formed so as to bulge rearward from the upper part of the. In addition, the storage box 35 includes a box body 46 that forms the main storage room 56 and the battery storage room 57, and a small box 6 7 that communicates with the main storage room 56. 6a, a wall member 47 fixed to the storage box 35 includes a main storage room 56, and a battery storage room disposed below the rear of the main storage room 56. 5 and a small container 6 7 bulging rearward from the main storage room 56 so as to communicate with the upper rear portion of the main storage room 56.

The opening end of the accessory case 6 7 on the side of the main storage room 56 is openably and closably covered with a lid 68 made of synthetic resin, and this lid 68 is formed continuously with the upper part of the cover member 58. . Moreover, the connecting portion of the cover member 58 and the lid 68 is formed so as to function as a hinge 59 by reducing the thickness, and the lid connected to the cover member 58 via the hinge 69 is provided. Reference numeral 6 8 denotes a position for closing the opening end of the small storage compartment 6 7 side as shown by a solid line in FIG. 2 and a main storage room 5 6 of the small storage compartment 6 7 as shown by a chain line in FIG. It is rotatable between a position where the side open end is opened.

Moreover, in order to maintain the position to close the opening end of the accessory case 67 on the side of the main storage room 56, for example, a pair of engaging claws 70, 70 are provided on the upper part of the lid 68. In the rear wall 46a of the box body 46, each engaging claw is located above the opening 66. Engagement holes 71 and 71 are provided for engaging and disengaging the 70 and 70, respectively.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. A main storage chamber 56 and a main storage chamber 56 are provided in a storage box 35 disposed between the front portions of a pair of left and right lyaframes 14 and 14 of the body frame F. A battery storage room 57 arranged below the rear of the room 56 and a small case 6 7 bulging rearward from the main storage room 56 so as to communicate with the upper rear part of the main storage room 56. Is formed.

According to such a storage box 35, the battery storage room 57, which needs to secure a relatively large space, is arranged in the storage pox 35 below the rear of the main storage room 56, so that the storage box It is not necessary to set the capacity of motorcycle parts, such as the fuel tank 29 behind the 35, to be relatively small due to the battery storage room 57, and the space for storing the battery 63 The capacity of motorcycle parts such as the fuel tank 29 can be set relatively large while ensuring a sufficient fuel economy. In addition, a small container 67, whose capacity can be set small, is formed so as to bulge rearward from the main storage room 56 so as to communicate with the upper rear part of the main storage room 56, so that the fuel tank 29, etc. The effect on the capacity setting of the motorcycle parts can be reduced, and the space for the accessory case 67 can be secured.

In the battery storage room 57, a battery 63, a starter relay 64 disposed on one side of the battery 63, and a fuse 65 disposed on the other side of the battery 63 are stored. Therefore, not only the battery 63 but also the electric components related to the battery 63, such as the starter relay 164 and the fuse 65, can be effectively stored in the battery storage room 57.

The storage pox 35 forms a main storage room 56 and a battery storage room 57, and has a box body 46 having an opening 66 at the top of the rear wall 46a, and a rear wall 46a. And a wall member 47 fixed to the rear wall 46 at the periphery of the opening 66, so that the main storage chamber 56 in the box body 46 is formed. The accessory case 67 bulging rearward from above can be easily formed in the wall member 47.

At the bottom of the box body 46 in the storage box 35, a lower portion of a cover member 58 that covers the battery storage room 57 so as to partition between the main storage room 56 is located. The main storage room 56 and the battery storage room 57 are connected to the main storage room 56 and the battery storage room 57 because the upper part of the force par member 58 is detachably fixed to the box body 46. It can be formed in the box body 46 of the storage box 35 with distinct distinction.

Further, a lid 68, which covers the opening end of the accessory case 67 on the side of the main storage room 56, is formed so as to be continuous with the cover member 58, and the cover member 58 is attached to the box body 46 of the storage box 35. By attaching, the opening end of the accessory storage compartment 67 on the side of the main storage room 56 can be covered. In addition, since the lid 68 is connected to the cover member 58 via the hinge 69, the opening end of the accessory storage 67 on the side of the main storage chamber 56 can be easily opened and closed.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various design changes can be made without departing from the present invention described in the claims. It is possible.
