第5の特徴は、前記中空部(125)の断面積(S)が長手方向で変化する構成としても良い。
第6の特徴は、前記第1の半体(77U)及び前記第2の半体(77D)は、それぞれ左右別体に接合されるように形成された構成としても良い。
第2の特徴によれば、第1の半体の板厚よりも第2の半体の板厚が厚くされているので、第2の半体の板厚を変更するだけでステップ全体の剛性を高めることができる。即ち、第1の半体の板厚を変更しなくとも剛性を高めることができる。
また、第2の特徴と第3の特徴を合わせると、下側に位置する第2の半体の板厚を厚くすることになるため、ステップが飛び石や段差等によって受ける外力からの影響を小さくすることができる。
更に、第2の特徴と第4の特徴を合わせると、板厚が薄い側に曲げ部が形成されるので、加工が容易にできる。
更に、第3の特徴と第4の特徴を合わせると、上側に位置する第1の半体の端部が下方に曲げられて第2の半体と接合されるので、第2の半体の端部を第1の半体の端部の屈曲部で覆うことで、端部を滑らかにできるとともに溶接部が下面側にあるので、外観性を向上させることができる。
第6の特徴によれば、第1の半体及び第2の半体は、それぞれ左右別体に形成されるので、ステップの材料の歩留まりを高めることができる。

大径直線部81Dの前縁85a及び後縁85bは、平行で且つ車幅方向に延びている。前縁85aと後縁85bとの距離、即ち大径直線部81Dの前後方向の幅はW1である。ステップ取付部81Cの広がり部81u,81yの略円弧形状からそれぞれ大径直線部81Dの前縁85a及び後縁85bの直線形状に変化する部分を、ステップ取付部81Cと大径直線部81Dとの境界とする。大径直線部81Dの断面形状は、後で詳述するように、輪郭が円形ではないが、大径直線部81Dの断面形状が、小径直線部81Fの断面形状よりも大きいことから、大径直線部81Dに「大径」を用いている。
小径直線部81Fの前縁85c及び後縁85dは、平行で且つ車幅方向に延びている。前縁85cと後縁85dとの距離、即ち小径直線部81Fの前後方向の幅はW2であり、幅W2は、幅W1より小さい。
ステップ取付部82Cは、車体中心線10Aから右方に距離L1だけ離れた部分までを言う。
ステップ取付部82Cは、ステップ取付部82a,82b(図2参照)からなり、その車幅方向内側の左端部82pは、車体中心線10Aよりも左方に位置する。ステップ取付部82Cは、車幅方向に延びる筒状の取付部筒部82Gと、取付部筒部82Gから前方に突出する前方突出部82Hと、取付部筒部82Gから後方に突出する後方突出部82Jとを備える。取付部筒部82Gの前後方向中央を通って車幅方向に中心線120が延びている。
前方突出部82H及び後方突出部82Jには、それぞれ貫通穴部82Kが開けられ、貫通穴部82Kにボルト88(図2参照)が通される。
前方突出部82Hの貫通穴部82Kの中心は、車体中心線10Aから右方に距離L7だけ離れ、中心線120から前方に距離L6だけ離れている。後方突出部82Jの貫通穴部81Kの中心は、車体中心線10Aから右方に距離L7だけ離れ、中心線120から後方に距離L8だけ離れている。
詳細には、右ステップ部材82の左端部82pの内側に、左ステップ部材81の取付部筒部81Gの車幅方向の中間部分よりも断面形状が縮小された右端部81pが嵌合される。
そして、右ステップ部材82の左端部82pの端面85e及び左端部82pの外周面85fの少なくとも端面85eと、左ステップ部材81の取付部筒部81Gの外周面85gとが溶接される。なお、符号85hは左ステップ部材81の右端部81pの端面である。
車体中心線10Aに対して、左ステップ部材81の端面85hは、右方に突出量L11だけ突出し、右ステップ部材82の端面85eは、左方に突出量L11だけ突出している。
なお、車体中心線10Aに対して、左ステップ部材81の突出量L11と右ステップ部材82の突出量L11を同一としたが、これに限らず、突出量を異ならせても良い。
ステップ72は、その両端部よりも中央部が低くなるように反った形状を成している。
即ち、ステップ取付部81C及びステップ取付部82Cよりも、足載せ部材78が取付けられる小径直線部81F及び小径直線部82Fが高く配置される。
ステップ取付部81C,82Cにおけるステップ72の高さ(上下方向の幅。以下同じ。)をh1、大径直線部81D,82Dにおけるステップ72の高さをh2、小径直線部81F,82Fにおけるステップ72の高さをh3とすると、h2>h1>h3となる。
図8(A)に示すように、右ステップ部材82における右上半体86のステップ取付部82aは、円筒の一部として下方に開放する断面略半円形に形成された半円筒部86aと、半円筒部86aの前端及び後端から前後にそれぞれ延びる平坦な形状とされた前フランジ86b及び後フランジ86cとから一体に形成されている。
半円筒部86aは、その外周面86dが半径R1の面に形成されている。前フランジ86b及び後フランジ86cは、それぞれ上下に貫通する取付穴86eが開けられている。
前フランジ86bの上面86u及び後フランジ86cの上面86vは、クランクケース36(図2参照)の下面36a(図2参照)に取付けられる取付面である。
前フランジ86bの前縁及び後フランジ86cの後縁には、下方に屈曲するように形成された前屈曲部86f及び後屈曲部86gを備える。前屈曲部86f及び後屈曲部86gは、右上半体86の前縁の全体及び後縁の全体に形成されている。
右上半体86(上半体77U)の板厚をt1とする。
半円筒部87aは、その外周面87dが半径R2の面に形成されている。半径R1と半径R2とは、R1<R2の関係にある。
前フランジ87b及び後フランジ87cは、それぞれ上下に貫通する取付穴87eが開けられている。取付穴86eと取付穴87eとは、上下に重なり合って貫通穴部82Kを構成する。
図中の符号122は、右上半体86の前屈曲部86fと右下半体87の前フランジ87bの前端部との溶接部、123は、右上半体86の後屈曲部86gと右下半体87の後フランジ87cの後端部との溶接部である。
右下半体87(下半体77D)の板厚をt2とすると、板厚t1は板厚t2よりも薄い(t1<t2)。このように、右上半体86の板厚t1を右下半体87の板厚t2よりも薄くすることで、右上半体86に容易に前屈曲部86f及び後屈曲部86gを形成することができる。これにより、右上半体86の前屈曲部86f及び後屈曲部86gで右下半体87の前フランジ87b及び後フランジ87cのそれぞれの前端面87u及び後端面87vを覆いながら右上半体86を容易に製造することができる。更に、右下半体87の板厚t2を右上半体86の板厚t1よりも厚くすることで、半円筒部87aの半径R2を半円筒部86aの半径R1よりも大きくすることと合わせて、右下半体87の曲げ剛性を、右上半体86の曲げ剛性よりも大きくすることができる。上半体77Uの端部を下方に曲げることにより溶接部122、123が下面側に形成されるため、溶接部122、123を外部から見え難くすることができる。
半円筒部86kは、ステップ取付部82aの半円筒部86a(図8(A)参照)に連続し、半円筒部86kの外周面86pは、半径R3の面に形成されている。
前フランジ86m及び後フランジ86nは、ステップ取付部82aの前フランジ86b及び後フランジ86cにそれぞれ連続し、前フランジ86mの前縁及び後フランジ86nの後縁には、下方に屈曲するように形成された前屈曲部86f及び後屈曲部86gを備える。
半円筒部87kは、ステップ取付部82aの半円筒部87a(図8(A)参照)に連続し、半円筒部87kの外周面87pは、半径R2の面に形成されている。半径R2は、半径R3よりも大きい(R3<R2)。
また、半径R3は、半径R1(図8(A)参照)よりも大きい。図8(A),(B)において、半径R1を半径R3よりも小さくすることで、クランクケース36(図2参照)の下面36a(図2参照)において半円筒部86aとの干渉を避ける凹部をより小さくすることができる。また、半径R3を半径R1よりも大きくすることで、大径直線部82Dの剛性を高めることができる。
図中の符号126は、右上半体86の前屈曲部86fと右下半体87の半円筒部87kの前端との溶接部、127は、右上半体86の後屈曲部86gと右下半体87の半円筒部87kの後端との溶接部である。
半円筒部86qは、大径直線部82Dの半円筒部86k(図8(B)参照)に、縮小部82E(図7参照)に形成された半テーパー部(テーパー管をその軸線に沿って半分にした形状を成す部分)を介して連続している。半円筒部86qは、その外周面86tが半径R4の面に形成されている。
前フランジ86r及び後フランジ86sは、大径直線部82Dの前フランジ86m及び後フランジ86nに、縮小部82Eの半テーパー部の前端及び後端から前後にそれぞれ延びる前フランジ及び後フランジを介してそれぞれ連続している。前フランジ86rの前縁及び後フランジ86sの後縁には、下方に屈曲するように形成された前屈曲部86f及び後屈曲部86gを備える。
半円筒部87qは、大径直線部82Dの半円筒部87k(図8(B)参照)に、縮小部82E(図7参照)に形成された半テーパー部(テーパー管をその軸線に沿って半分にした形状を成す部分)を介して連続している。半円筒部87qは、その外周面87tが半径R5の面に形成されている。半径R4と半径R5とは等しい(R4=R5)。このように、半径R4と半径R5とを等しくすることで、小径直線部82Fが挿入される足載せ部材78(図7参照)の中空部の断面形状を簡素にすることができ、中空部を容易に形成することができる。なお、半径R4と半径R5とは等しくなくても良い。
前フランジ87rの前端面87wは、右上半体86の前屈曲部86fに前方から覆われ、後フランジ87sの後端面87xは、右上半体86の後屈曲部86gに後方から覆われる。小径直線部82Fにおける中空部125の断面積をS=S3とする。
図中の符号128は、右上半体86の前屈曲部86fと右下半体87の前フランジ87rの前端部との溶接部、129は、右上半体86の後屈曲部86gと右下半体87の後フランジ87sの後端部との溶接部である。
また、右下半体87は、前方に延びる下部前フランジ87fと、後方に延びる下部後フランジ87gとを備える。下部前フランジ87fは、前フランジ87b,87rと、縮小部82Eの下半部に形成された前フランジ(不図示)とを備える。下部後フランジ87gは、後フランジ87c,87sと、縮小部82Eの下半部に形成された後フランジ(不図示)とを備える。
図8(A)~(C)において、ステップ72の上記した各部の断面積S1,S2,S3は、S2>S1>S3の関係にある。このように、ステップ72の長手方向で断面積Sを変更することで、ステップ72の長手方向で部分的に剛性を変更することができる。断面積S2の大径直線部82Dについては、他の部分よりも断面積S2が大きい他に、右下半体87に前上方延出部87m及び後上方延出部87nが設けられるため、剛性を高めやすい。
また、ステップ72の各部の断面を全て縦長の中空構造とすることで、上下方向に作用する外力に対するステップ72の剛性を高めることができる。
図8(A)~(C)では、右ステップ部材82の各断面を示したが、左ステップ部材81(図5参照)の各部についても、右ステップ部材82と同一又は同一に近い断面形状に形成されている。
また、下側に位置する下半体77Dの板厚t2を厚くすることになるため、ステップ72が飛び石や段差等によって受ける外力からの影響を小さくすることができる。
更に、板厚t1が薄い上半体77U側に前屈曲部86f及び後屈曲部86gが形成されるので、加工が容易にできる。
また、前屈曲部86f及び後屈曲部86gを形成することによっても、上半体77Uの剛性を高めることができ、ひいては、ステップ72の剛性を高めることができる。
また、図5~図7に示したように、上半体77U及び下半体77Dは、左ステップ部材81と右ステップ部材82とに左右別体に接合されるように形成されているので、上半体77U及び下半体77Dを素材(板材)から切り出す際に、切り出す位置の自由度が増し、ステップ72用の素材の歩留まりを高めることができる。
例えば、上記実施形態において、図5に示したステップ取付部81C,82Cの形状及び貫通穴部81Kの位置は、それに限定されるものではなく、図示したものと異なっても良い。また、図8(A)~(C)に示したステップ72の断面形状は、それに限定されるものではない。
図1に示したように、ステップ72を運転者用としたが、これに限らず、同乗者用のステップとしても良い。この場合、左ステップ部材81と右ステップ部材82とを左右に分離した構造になる。
