Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to the structure of a front box of a scooter.

(Prior Art) As shown in Fig. 5, in a scooter type vehicle 1, a storage compartment (commonly known as a front box or console box) is usually provided in the leg shield 2 in front of the driver's seat. It can be used to store small items.

The conventional front box is, for example, disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 621163.
As also seen in Japanese Patent No. 67, the leg shield 2 is recessed in a shape that bulges toward the front cover 3 side, so that small items can be stored therein.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, with the conventional front box structure, it is possible to store small items, but it is difficult to store umbrellas etc. in a folded state. . Therefore, folding umbrellas are not folded, or long-handled umbrellas,
It is not possible to store other stick-shaped objects, and if you fold and store a wet folding umbrella, other items will get wet.
There was a problem that other items could not be stored in the umbrella and the bag.

In view of this, it is an object of the present invention to provide a front box for a scooter that allows storage of folding umbrellas and other stick-shaped items, and that does not wet other items even if the umbrella is placed under the umbrella. It is something.

(Means for Solving the Problems) An object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and the present invention provides a scooter type vehicle with a box part that can store small items in the leg shield at the front of the vehicle body. At least one cylindrical part is provided in the front wall of the box part so as to protrude, and the at least one cylindrical part that communicates with the inside of the box part extends forward and downwardly, and a small hole is opened at the tip of this cylindrical part. It is characterized by its configuration.

(Function) With the above configuration, for example, if a wet folding umbrella is folded and inserted into the cylindrical part from inside the box part, the folding umbrella will fit inside the cylindrical part and will not touch other items stored in the box part. There is no risk of getting the item wet.

In addition, water dripping from the umbrella is discharged downward from the vehicle body through a small hole at the tip of the cylindrical portion, since the cylindrical portion is slanted forward and downward.

Furthermore, even if a long umbrella or other stick-shaped object is partially accommodated in the cylindrical portion, it can be stably loaded on the fa and does not interfere with driving.

(Example of Length) Hereinafter, examples of the length shown in the drawings of the present invention will be referred to as shown in Fig. 5 and No.
The same reference numerals will be used to explain the communicating members.

The leg shield 5 attached to the vehicle body frame 4 with screws 5, 5, etc. is molded from synthetic resin, etc., and as shown in Fig. 4, the leg shield 5 is attached to the left and right sides of the bulge 7, which is the part that avoids the front wheels. There are protrusions 88 on both sides, and the protrusions 7
A box portion 9 that bulges forward is formed at the top of the box.

Cylindrical portions 11 are provided on the left and right sides of the front wall portion 10 of this box portion 9.
．． 11 communicates with the inside of the box portion 9 and extends forward and downwardly. In the illustrated embodiment, a cylindrical member configured separately from the leg shield 6 is pushed through the hole opened in the front wall 10 from inside the box part 9, and the flange 11a of the cylindrical member is inserted into the edge of the front wall 10. 10a and fixed by adhesive or the like. A small hole 12 is opened at the tip of the cylindrical portion 11 to allow drainage. Further, a cover 13 which can be opened and closed is pivotally attached to the opening portion of the box portion 9 by a hinge 14, and can be opened to approximately the 1ε position as shown by the chain line in FIG.

In the figure, 15 is a helad tube.

Therefore, for example, after folding a wet folding umbrella, if the cover 13 is opened and compressed from the box part 9 to the cylindrical part 11, the folding umbrella will fit inside the cylindrical part 11, and other Even when items are stored, they do not get wet.

Further, water dripping from the umbrella is discharged downward from the vehicle body through a small hole 12 opened at the tip of the cylindrical portion 11 because the cylindrical portion 11 is inclined forwardly and downwardly. Furthermore, even if it is a long-handled umbrella or other stick-shaped object, a part of it is accommodated in the cylindrical part 11 and is stably supported, so it can be loaded without protruding too far toward the driver's seat, making it easier to drive. It's not a hindrance.

The cylindrical part 11 may be molded integrally with the leg shield 6, and the number of cylindrical parts installed is arbitrary, and the box part 9 may also be configured separately from the leg shield 6 and fixed to the leg shield 6. .

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, since the cylindrical part is connected to the front wall of the box part of the front box, for example, a folding umbrella can be inserted into the cylindrical part and stored.
In addition, since the cylindrical part is provided with a downward slope toward the front,
Moisture attached to the umbrella does not enter the box part side, and even if other articles are stored in the box part, they will not get wet.

In addition, the water accumulated in the cylindrical part is drained to the outside from the small hole at the tip, so that the umbrella will not be in danger forever, and the space inside the front cover can be used for (-f) effect. It has an excellent effect of being able to load cargo.
