Abstract

Roofed-motorbikes generally suffer from the problems that the manufacturing and retail prices are high due to limited production, that the wind is blocked by the front panel such that the ride is hot and humid during summer, and that the roof is disproportionately high for a short driver. As a means of enabling a roof to be attached regardless of the type of motorbike, a roof apparatus comprises: a roof apparatus body including a transparent front panel, a roof, and a support column supporting the roof; and a front attaching portion and a rear attaching portion for supporting and attaching the roof apparatus body to a motorbike or bicycle body, and is characterized in that the support column is telescopic, and that linking bearings that are rotatable in a pitch angle direction are disposed at three locations; namely, between the front attaching portion and the roof apparatus body, inside the roof apparatus body, and between the roof apparatus body and the rear attaching portion. The front panel is provided with an adjustable opening to avoid the heat and humidity of summer and a side cover to prevent sideways rain and wind.

Description

Simple roof device

The present invention relates to a simplified roof device for motorbikes and bicycles, including motorcycles and tricycles, for example scooters.

In the case of ordinary motorbikes, there are no roofs or front panels for rain winds, as with ordinary motorbikes, and drivers are directly affected by the driving environment such as rain, wind and sunlight. Therefore, for motor bikes for sale when daily work such as delivery is out, a scooter-type motor bike with a covered type is often used so that the driver is not affected by the season or weather as much as possible. In this case, a covered motorbike is generally the first one designed by the manufacturer on the premise of being covered, and a wiper for wiping water droplets on the front panel to ensure visibility when it rains. Is attached.

However, the special design or special modification, and the need for a wiper have pushed up the manufacturing price of the covered motorbike, which has been a hindrance to the spread. In addition, the front panel, which is protected from rain when it rains, obstructs the flow of air when it is fine, and loses a sense of exhilaration when traveling on a motorbike. Furthermore, because the height of the roof is usually designed on the premise of a tall person, it was unfair for small women to drive.

As a device for attaching a roof to a general motor bike, Patent Document 1 proposes a device for fixing a panel in which a front panel and a roof are integrated, using a female screw for mounting a luggage basket provided on a front cover side of the front panel. ing. However, in order to hold the roof in a cantilever manner, its holding strength is weak, and as a result, the roof swings up, down, left and right during traveling, which hinders traveling.

There exists patent document 2 as an apparatus which attaches a roof to the existing general motor bike and bicycle similarly to this invention. This device has a side substantially bow-shaped bone portion raised upward from the front of the vehicle, a roof portion covering the bone portion, a support portion supporting the bone portion at the rear, and the front of the vehicle First holding portion fixed to the rear portion holding the front end of the bone portion, a rear holding portion fixed to the rear portion of the vehicle holding the support portion, and connecting the bone portion and the front holding portion A second joint portion connecting the support portion and the rear holding portion, and a third joint portion connecting the bone portion and the support portion, the first and second joint portions In each of the third joint portion, the supporting position of the support portion in the bone portion can be moved back and forth according to the operation of the user. .

In the case of this device, in order to adjust the height of the roof, after loosening the fixing screws in the first, second and third joint portions, the attachment position of the third joint portion to the bone portion Need to change forward. For example, to lower the roof, the third joint is to be moved forward, but as long as the length (L) of the support is constant, the support due to the movement of the third joint The reduction in height due to the change in angle (Θ) is initially limited and increases rapidly thereafter. Therefore, in the structure in which the support is turned forward as in this example, the support may be an obstacle for the driver and the passenger to get on and off. In addition, it is very inconvenient because it is necessary to retighten after loosening all the above-mentioned fixing screws before and after adjustment.

On the other hand, although there is no description in the claims about the method of fixing the front holding portion and the rear holding portion to the vehicle body, it is likely that the existing screws on the vehicle body are used together as far as the embodiment is viewed. Therefore, it is necessary to design the mounting position of the above-mentioned front holding part and back holding according to each model, and it is not general purpose. Moreover, since the removal of the roof portion is not assumed, the removed roof portion is inconvenient for securing a bulky storage place.
In addition, since the roof part is an integral part of the front panel and the roof, a wiper is necessary to secure visibility on rainy days, and it is not possible to feel the refreshing feeling of cutting the wind on hot summer days.

Other than that, in Patent Document 3, Patent Document 4, Patent Document 5 etc., as a rain protection device for motorbikes and bicycles, rather than being covered, the device for covering the bicycle and its driver completely with transparent vinyl or plastic etc. is suggesting.

In addition, Patent Document 6 is a motor bike that can be detached and re-mounted from the roof, but this is merely designed to be able to be re-engaged and removed from the roof between the front panel portion and the support, as in this patent. The roof can not be detached from the bike.

Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2003-237660 Utility model registration 3159937 JP, 2006-57226, A Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2006-264563 JP, 2008-37195, A Japanese Patent Application No. 9-24871

Conventional motorbikes with roofs have better comfort compared to general motorbikes because of the avoidance of rain when it rains, strong sunlight in summer and blocking of ultraviolet light, etc. It was very expensive.

And originally the front panel which gives a comfortable space as rain and windbreak, conversely, on windy days such as summer, shuts the wind and makes the driver feel hot. Furthermore, as the transparent front panel also gets wet as rain drops on the front panel when it rains, it becomes necessary to safely install a wiper as a countermeasure, which further boosts the price of the covered motorbike. Also, as long as the wiper is attached, it is not possible to provide an opening for ventilation to the front panel which is the sliding surface of the wiper.

In addition, since the height of the roof is set to the height of a tall male, the driver with a short height receives unnecessary wind pressure on the front panel and is very energy-efficient. In addition, the height of the roof sometimes impedes the storage of the motorbike.

There is also a device that can adjust the height of the roof as in Patent Document 2, but the height adjustment range in the operating state is small, and for adjustment, three joints are loosened and one of them is fixed. It is inconvenient because the adjustment such as changing the position is not easy. Moreover, since the removal of the roof portion is not assumed, the operation at the time of strong wind is dangerous, and even if it is removed, the roof is bulky and there is a problem in securing the place.

Furthermore, most motorbikes are two-wheeled vehicles, so the wind pressure from the front and the wind pressure from the side received during traveling become unstable factors for the motorbike during traveling. Therefore, the width is narrow in order to reduce the wind pressure from the front, and it is general not to provide a side panel or side cover on the side in order to reduce the influence of crosswind, and as a result, the shoulder near the outside in rainy weather And there was a problem such as the hand part getting wet.

In particular, in a bicycle, as in Patent Document 1, a device for supporting the roof portion with the forehead of a vehicle body, as in Patent Document 3, Patent Document 4 and Patent Document 5, the bicycle and the driver are completely covered or an existing umbrella is used. It is common to attach to the handle and substitute a roof or a front panel, and a device with a full-fledged rain-proof or roof as a sunshade like this invention is not found.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned points, and that an existing motorbike or bicycle can be installed or removed by a roof with a front panel without special modification or adjustment, the removed roof The main body can be stored compactly, the amount of wind received by the driver can be controlled while traveling, the visibility in rainy weather can be secured without a wiper, the height of the roof can be adjusted to the driver, the height of the roof We propose a high-performance, low-cost covered motorbike or bicycle, such as being able to store a covered motorbike in the same place as a conventional unit, and being able to attach a rainproof side cover that can ensure safe traveling even with crosswinds. doing.

In order to implement the present invention, it is necessary to straddle the passenger seat for fixing the present invention and to connect the front vehicle body 2 and the rear vehicle body 3 so as to be integrated. Here, a general motor bike and a bicycle 11 will be described focusing on a scooter type motor bike 1 as an embodiment.

A first embodiment of the device according to the invention is shown in FIG. 3 and an exploded view for a detailed description thereof is shown in FIG. The motorbike 1 comprises a front vehicle body 2, a rear vehicle body 3 and a central lower vehicle body 4, while the device of the invention according to claim 1 comprises a front mounter 5, a roof 6 with a front panel, a telescopic roof support 7 and a rear A mounting unit 8 is provided, each connected by a front connection bearing 53, an intermediate connection bearing 62, and a rear connection bearing 82 which are rotatable in the pitch direction. The intermediate connection bearing 62 has a bearing lock nut 624, and can fix the intermediate connection bearing 62 as needed.

In order to mount the device of the present invention on the motorbike 1, using the front mounter 5 of claim 4 for the front vehicle body 2, a pinch mechanism using the luggage basket mounting female screw 22 and the intermediate auxiliary plate 55 on the front cover 21. Attached with. A rear mounting plate 81 which is a rear mounting unit 8 is mounted on the rear carrier 32 to the rear vehicle body 3. Here, a material such as polycarbonate, which is transparent, strong and hard to transmit ultraviolet light, is used as the front panel, and the front panel is divided into an upper front panel 63 and a lower front panel 64, each of which has an E-shaped cross section. The case of supporting by the sliding guide 611 according to 2 and the case of using the telescopic fixed eccentric cam 711 for fixing the telescopic telescopic support 71 according to claim 1 for the roof support 7 is shown.

Details will be described below. The front body 2 has three mounting female screws 22 for mounting the luggage basket A (option), and the front mounting plate 51 is fixed to the front vehicle 2 by the fixing screws 52 for the mounting plate. There is. Further, between the front cover 21 and the front mounting plate 51, there are an elastically deformable middle auxiliary plate 55 and a cover mounting auxiliary plate 56 at the upper portion, and a lower auxiliary plate 57 at the lower portion. It is connected and fixed by 561 and 571, thereby pressing the front mounting plate 51 in the direction of the front cover 21. Further, on the upper left and right sides of the front mounting plate 51, there are screws 54 for preventing lateral deviation, and they are in contact with the front cover 21 via the buffer pads 541.

The front paneled roof 6 comprises an upper front panel 63, a lower front panel 64, a roof panel 65, and a roof frame 61 and a lateral frame 612 for holding them, the front of which is the front connection bearing 53 It is connected by a part bearing fixing screw 532.

The rear portion is connected to the roof support 7 via an intermediate connection bearing 62 by an intermediate connection bearing fixed shaft 622. The intermediate connection bearing fixed shaft 622 has a cylindrical head at the shaft end, a screw for the bearing lock nut 624 at its neck, and a diameter smaller than its screw diameter and the telescopic support 71 and its front and rear washers 623 It has a shaft slightly longer than the combined thickness, and a screw thinner than the shaft diameter for fixing to the intermediate connection bearing 62. After the intermediate connection bearing fixed shaft 622 is screwed to the intermediate connection bearing 62, its screw end is further fixed by a nut as a locking means. In this case, the degree of freedom of rotation can be secured by tightening the bearing lock nut 624 in the axial direction of the shaft, and the rotation can be fixed by tightening it to the washer side.

In the roof 6 with a front panel, the upper front panel 63 and the lower front panel 64 can be moved up and down by an arc-shaped slide guide 611 provided on the roof frame 61. Rainwater accumulated in the upper front panel 63, the lower front panel 64 and the roof panel 65 is collected on the roof frame 61, flows downward through the groove of the sliding guide 611, and is discharged out of the not-shown hole at the lower end. .

On the left and right of the upper and lower

front panels

63 and 64, there is a front panel fixing device 66 consisting of an eccentric cam 661 and an eccentric cam bearing 662, and using the rotation angle of the eccentric cam 661, the upper and lower

front panels

63 , 64 height. In this case, the fixing device 66 may be either left or right, or the lower front panel 64 may be screwed to the roof frame 61 from the beginning.

The roof support 7 is connected to a rear connection bearing 82 constituting the rear connector 8 by a rear connection bearing fixing screw 821. In the middle portion, there is a telescopic support 71 capable of telescopic adjustment, which is fixed by a telescopic fixed eccentric cam 711 after height adjustment. In the case of this embodiment, there is no need to loosen the screw and the like of the connector because it has rotational freedom in the pitch direction even after connection by three connection bearings, and the expansion fixed eccentric cam 711 is loosened. Just adjust the height of the driver or adjust the height of the roof for bike storage.

The rear mounting unit 8 comprises a rear mounting plate 81 and a rear connection bearing 82, and the rear mounting plate 81 placed on the upper surface of the rear loading platform 32 is rear-mounted to the rear loading platform 32 using the loading platform fixing plate 812 at the bottom. It is connected by a plate fixing screw 811. The rear mounting plate 81 has an anti-lateral shake screw 83 for preventing lateral shake, and pushes the rear cover 31 via a rear cover buffer pad 831.

In the case of the first embodiment, although the front mounting plate 51 is fixed by using the female screw originally provided in the front cover 21 and the intermediate auxiliary plate 55 and the cover mounting auxiliary plate 56 are used as means for further reinforcing it. Either one or the other may be used. In addition, it is possible to lower the cost of parts by using a general material with a cross section of E structure for roof frame 61, or by using a general material of co-structure in layers, or using a beam with a thin plate bent into E structure. The rain falling on the roof or panel gathers to the roof frame 61 and flows downward, so that the rain gutter can be eliminated.

An alternative example 1 of the front mounting plate 51 is shown in FIG. Instead of screwing the front mounting plate 51 directly to the front cover 21, a front mounting auxiliary plate 512 is newly provided, and is fixed to the front cover 21 using a mounting female screw 22 for a luggage basket. . As a result, the height of the front mounting plate 51 can be fixed uniformly regardless of the screw position of the front cover 21. For example, the self-weight of the roof 6 with a front panel is fixed to the upper surface of the front cover 21 and its front panel 21 by fixing the front mounting plate 51 to the upper portion of the front cover 21 using upper and lower movable internal screws on the front mounting auxiliary plate 512. It can be distributed and supported by screws. Further, in the first alternative embodiment, the cover mounting auxiliary plate 56 is fixed to the front cover 21 via the plate spring 552 in claim 6 so as to be held therebetween. In this case, since the leaf spring 552 is pressed while being elastically deformed, rattling can be eliminated, and the tip end of the leaf spring 552 does not bite into the front cover 21 under an upper load and does not come off.

An alternative example 2 of mounting of the front mounting plate 51 in the case where the motor bike 1 does not have the mounting female screw 22 for a luggage basket is shown in FIG. The upper portion of the front mounting plate 51 is attached to the front cover 21 via a plate spring 552. On the side surface of the front cover 21, there is a side pressing plate 513 connected by the front cover 21 and the side pressing plate rotary shaft 518. At the tip of the side pressing plate 513, there is a freely rotatable side pressing cam 515 and a plate spring 552 according to claim 6, and the side pressing plate 513 does not move while pressing the side of the front cover 21 with a side pressing coil spring. It is fixed to the front cover 21 by the side holding plate fixing screw 519 as described above. In the case of the present alternative example 2, a fixing belt 514 is also used for supplementary reinforcement.

There are pointed teeth like saw teeth on the outer peripheral part of the side pressing cam 515, or a material with high friction resistance like rubber, and when the front mounting plate 51 receives a load upward, for side pressing The cam 515 is rotated by the frictional force and bites into the front cover 21 or increases the frictional resistance, thereby further suppressing the upward movement of the front mounting plate 51.

Another example 1 of the telescopic support 71 and the rear mount 8 is shown in FIG. In the case of the telescopic support 71, the upper portion thereof has a lock mechanism for restricting the rotation of the intermediate connection bearing 62, and the lower portion has a lock mechanism for restricting the height thereof. When the telescopic post lock release button 72 on the top surface of the post handle 73 is pressed, the respective locks are released and the height of the telescopic post 71 can be adjusted with one hand. The lock mechanism at the upper part of the telescopic support 71 is one of the safety mechanisms for preventing the roof main body from falling apart if any of the three rotary bearings described in claim 1 is removed. There is no problem in function.

On the other hand, the rear connection bearing 82 of the rear affixer 8 is divided into two, one is connected by a hinge 84 and the other is fixed by a manual screw 86. As a result, the roof support 7 and the rear mounter 8 can be separated by removing the manual screw 86 to further enhance the storability of the roof, and the front frame 58 can be removed from the front mounting plate 51. The roof device body can also be removed from the scooter.

As another example 2 of the rear attachment 8, a method of sandwiching the rear handle 814 from the left and right is shown in FIG. 8. The loading platform and the handle fixing plate 812 are divided into two, and between them, the rear handle 33 is sandwiched by two fixing plate connecting screws 817. This is effective when there is no rear loading platform 32 at the rear of the vehicle body, but instead there is a rear handle 33 or the like.

Example 2 is shown in FIG. Similar to the first embodiment, the roof frame 61 having an E-shaped cross section is used, but unlike the first embodiment, the upper front panel 63 and the lower front panel 64 are installed on the same sliding guide 611 at the upper portion, Each front panel fixing device 66 is installed inside the panel. A front frame connecting plate 581 connected to the front frame 58 and also serving as a front panel is fixed to the lower slide guide 611 below the lower front panel 64. In the second embodiment, the roof frame 61 is located above the light at the handle portion and does not affect the light illuminating the front, and the telescopic mechanism at the front frame 58. Can be used to adjust the height of the roof frame 61. A side cover 67 for a side rain protection sunshade and a front side panel 585 for a rain protection sun shade at hand are provided.

The roof frame 61 on both sides of the upper and lower

front panels

63, 64 and the roof panel 65 is divided in the middle part in order to implement claim 3 and each is a rotatable connector It is connected by frame hinge 614. A frame connection plate 615 is provided at the top, and is usually connected and fixed by a frame connection screw 616 in the frame connection plate 615. When the roof device body portion is removed from the scooter 1, the roof frame 61 can be folded and stored compactly as shown in FIG. 10 by loosening the frame connection screw 616 and removing the connection.

In the second embodiment, the one-component moisture-curable urethane foam 91 according to claim 5 is used as an intermediate member between the partial mounting plate 51 and the front cover 21. The filling state of the urethane foam 91 between the partial mounting plate 51 and the front cover 21 is shown in FIG.

As a method of filling the urethane foam 91 between the front mounting plate 51 and the front cover 21, a method of applying or filling directly before or after attaching the front mounting plate 51 to the front cover 21 or urethane urethane 91 is used. In order to prevent the front mounting plate 51 and the front cover 21 from being directly touched and soiled, there is a method of indirect filling using a urethane foam filled bag 92.

In the former case, the urethane foam 91 directly contacts the air and absorbs the humidity in the air, and cures in about 10 minutes. However, in the latter case, moisture is set in advance into the urethane foam-filled bag 92 for curing when using a bag. It is necessary to supply the foam urethane filled bag 92 with means for supplying external humidity or the like, for example, a large number of fine vent holes for air permeability. Further, as a method for filling the urethane foam-filled bag 92 with the urethane foam 91, the bag filled with urethane foam 91 is sandwiched in advance between the front mounting plate 51 and the front cover 21 or the empty urethane foam-filled bag 92 is held. There is a method of filling with urethane foam 91 after that.

The shape of the breathable urethane filled bag 92 filled with the urethane foam 91 and the filling method thereof are shown in FIG. The urethane foam filled bag 92 is made of a flexible, flexible plastic that is transparent and thin and has a myriad of vents for ventilation, and the bag has a urethane inlet and an air vent. The urethane foam 91 injected from the urethane foam filling can 911 through the urethane filling port through the urethane foam filling straw 912 is foamy, and the amount of the filled foam is about 1.5 times more when the moisture is absorbed and cured. It doubles from that. As a result, the adhesion between the front mounting plate 51 and the front cover 21 can be implemented in a wide range, and the mounting strength of the front mounting plate 51 to the front cover 21 can be increased.

The purpose of this patent is to improve the adhesion between the front mounting plate 51 and the front cover 21 and, separately from this state, it is molded into the shape of the front mounting plate 51 and the front cover 21 from the beginning like a styrofoam. The intermediate material 511 may be made of any of the materials listed above or deformable rubber or the like.

A side view and a cross-sectional view of the side cover 67 in use are shown in FIG. The side cover 67 comprises a sheet-like sheet cover 671 whose outer periphery is supported by an elastic wire 672 like a piano wire or the like, and the wire 672 is supported by two wire bearings 673.
There is a cam plate 674 having an arc-shaped groove between the bearings, and the side cover 67 is held at a specific angular position outside or inside by the repulsive force between the arc-shaped groove and the wire 672 There is. When a strong wind is received, the side cover 67 rotates inward, and the influence of the cross wind can be reduced.

A side view of the side cover 67 in the stored state and a cross-sectional view thereof are shown in FIG. The side cover 67 is supported by two seat cover receivers 675 on the side cover mounting plate 676 so as not to disturb the view.

Another example of the side cover 67 is shown in FIG. The frame of the side cover 67 uses torsion spring wire 677, with coil portions of the torsion spring at the four corners of the side cover 67, with a wire connection 678 rotatable in the side cover surface between them. . The side cover 67 can be folded smaller by pressing the torsion spring portion inward and folding the wire connection 678 inward.

Furthermore, in this alternative example, instead of the cam plate 674, a seat cover receiver 675 having an opening inward and whose position is outside the wire bearing 673 is used. For example, the torsion spring wire 677 of the seat cover receiver 675 is bent inward of the side cover 67 so as to be received by the seat cover receiver 675, and in use of the side cover 67, the torsion spring wire 677 Is supported by the seat cover receiver 675. When a cross wind of a predetermined level or more is received, the torsion spring wire 677 is detached from the seat cover receiver 675 and becomes free, thereby reducing the influence of the cross wind on the scooter 1.

The wire bearing 673, the seat cover receiver 675, and the side cover mounting plate 676 are integrally formed of sheet metal, thereby reducing the cost.

The case where the seat cover 671 is housed inside the sliding guide 611 of the roof frame 61 is shown in FIG. In this example, by making the seat cover 671 invisible from the outside, the appearance on the appearance is improved.

In addition, in this example, screws and the like are not used for fixing the side cover mounting plate 676, and sandwiching fixing method using a leaf spring to the sliding guide 611 of the roof frame 61 is adopted. The mounting position to the frame 61 can be changed variously. When the side cover 67 stored is taken out, the torsion spring-attached wire 677 that has jumped out may be pulled outward, or a string or the like may be attached to the torsion spring-attached wire 677 and pulled in advance.

In this example, the torsion spring wire 677 is bent inward of the seat cover 671 so that the position of the seat cover receiver 675 is matched. A hook may be provided to hook and hold the torsion spring wire 677 thereon. Moreover, the influence of crosswind can be further reduced by using a mesh-like sheet for the seat cover.

The attached state of the front side panel 585 is shown in FIG. Since the transparent front side panel 585 is supported by the spherical bearing 586, its angle can be freely adjusted, and the spherical bearing shaft 587 is stored on the front frame connecting plate 581 side by the front side panel storage bearing 588. can do.
