Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention protects the wiring of turn signal lights (rear turn signals) attached to the rear fender that covers the rear wheels of small vehicles such as motorcycles and tricycles from above. This relates to the structure of a resin rear fender for

Conventional technology When lights such as taillights and rear blinkers are attached to the rear fender and conductive wires are attached to the inner surface of the rear fender, this prevents dirt, muddy water, etc. thrown up by the rear wheels from directly hitting the conductive wires. In order to protect the conductor, conventionally, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-45986, the conductor is covered with a cover that extends along the conductor, and the locking claws at both ends of the cover are engaged with the holes in the rear fender. In order to prevent the cover from falling off due to vibrations, etc., the cover was gripped with a clip that was integrally fixed to the inner surface of the rear fender.

Problems to be Solved In the conventional rear fender described above, the strength and rigidity of the rear fender is reduced due to the hole formed for passing the conductor through, which cannot be reinforced with a cover, and the number of parts increases. Not only do
Installation work is troublesome and increases in cost are unavoidable.

Means and Effects for Solving the Problems The present invention relates to an improvement of a resin rear fender for a small vehicle that overcomes the above-mentioned difficulties.
In a resin rear fender for a small vehicle, in which side walls are integrally formed on both sides of the top wall and the back wall, extending from the top wall of the fender to the back wall, and the side walls carry turn signal lights, wherein the top wall and a side shielding wall oriented in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body along the side wall from the back wall;
A lower shielding wall located a required distance below the side shielding wall and protruding from the side wall toward the center in the width direction is integrally formed with the rear fender, and the conductor for the direction indicator light is connected to the lower shielding wall. It is characterized in that it passes through small openings in the side wall and top wall located higher up and is disposed between the side shielding wall and the side wall.

In the present invention, there is provided a side wall extending from the top wall and the back wall along the side wall in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, and a side wall located a required distance below the side wall and protruding from the side wall toward the center in the width direction. A lower shielding wall is formed integrally with the rear fender, and a conductor for the direction indicator light is passed through a small opening in a side wall and a top wall located above the lower shielding wall, and the conductor wire is connected to the side wall and the side wall. Since it is arranged between the rear fender and the rear fender, the conductor for the turn signal light can be easily wired on the inner surface of the rear fender without requiring any special tools and without attaching a cover for protecting the conductor.

In addition, in the present invention, there is no need to separate the conductor protection cover from the rear fender, and there is no need for a means to fix it.
The number of parts is reduced, making it possible to reduce costs.

Furthermore, in the present invention, dirt, muddy water, etc. splashed up by the lower shielding wall are blocked and cannot enter the space where the conductor exists between the side walls and the side shielding walls, and the top wall and the back wall are blocked by the lower shielding wall. The side shielding walls prevent the dirt and sand adhering to the walls from moving into the conducting wire presence space, and the influence of the sand and dirt on the conducting wires is effectively suppressed.

Furthermore, in the present invention, since the top wall and the back wall are rigidly connected by the side shielding wall,
Vibration that acts on the back wall in the vertical and front-back directions as the vehicle travels, and resistance that acts on the back wall in the rear direction due to the traveling wind, are absorbed by the top wall through the side walls and side shielding walls. It is possible to increase the bending strength and rigidity of the rear fender along the front and rear and top and bottom surfaces by easily applying the load to the side wall, which is subjected to a large lateral force due to cantilever support of the direction indicator light. In addition, the side wall can be reinforced with a lower shielding wall formed integrally with the side wall, thereby increasing the lateral strength and rigidity of the side wall.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 will be described.

Figure 1 schematically shows the rear part of a motorcycle, with a resin rear wheel that covers the rear wheel RW from above.
The fender 14 is screwed and fixed to the rear end portions of the pair of left and right seat support frames 10 at two points A and B, and a total of four points on the left and right sides, on the front upper sides of both side walls 16. Rear fender 1 including this screwed part
The upper half of the vehicle 4 is covered by a rear cowl 12 that covers the rear of the seat and both sides of the vehicle body (not shown) in consideration of appearance.

The rear fender 14 has left and right side walls 16,
It is an integrally molded product whose main body is a top wall 20 that defines a space C together with a back wall 18 and both walls, and the left and right end portions 20a of the top wall 20 are connected to the left and right side walls 1.
It extends outward from 6. And each side wall 1
A pair of plate-shaped shielding walls 22 corresponding to a pair of left and right rectangular side shielding walls are erected adjacent to and almost parallel to the back wall 18 and the top wall 20, Parallel to the lower side of the plate-shaped barrier wall 22 and spaced apart from each other, a protruding strip-shaped barrier wall 24 corresponding to a lower barrier wall has a height such that its tip protrudes beyond the extended surface of the plate-shaped barrier wall 22.
It is erected at 6. This left and right protruding barrier wall 2
4 is integrally connected to a similar protrusion erected on the back wall 18, and functions as a reinforcing protrusion that reinforces and stiffens the left and right side walls 16 and the back wall 18 from the inside.

Further, a side wall 16, a back wall 18, and a plate-like shielding wall 2
2, a small opening 21 is formed in the top wall 20, and a small opening 17 is formed in the side wall 16 below the D chamber and above the protruding shielding wall 24. It is formed. A direction indicator light 30 in a horizontal position is screwed and fixed to the outer surface of the side wall 16 at a location where this small opening 17 is formed, and its conductor 32
is wired into the D room through the small opening 17 and the small opening 21.

The present embodiment is constructed as described above, and dirt, muddy water, etc. that are splashed up by the rear wheels RW, especially when driving in the rain, are mainly removed from the D interior by the action of the protruding bar 24. Due to the presence of the plate-shaped shielding wall 22, the sediment that is blocked from directly entering the top wall 20 and adhered to the lower surface of the top wall 20 is removed from the side wall 1 where the conducting wire 32 is located.
Transition to the 6th side is blocked. Therefore, the influence of earth and sand on the conducting wire 32 is effectively suppressed.

In addition, the plate-like barrier wall 22 and the protruding barrier wall 24 not only function as a shield for avoiding earth and sand, but also serve as reinforcement and stiffening members for the protruding barrier wall 24.
It is possible to securely hold the right turn signal light 30 or a license plate, reflector, etc. mounted on the rear wall 18.

Furthermore, by forming the plate-like barrier 22 and the protruding barrier 24 integrally with the protruding barrier 24, not only a separate cover and screws for attaching it are not required, but also The effort of mounting can be saved, and cost reductions can be achieved.

Note that the plate-like shielding wall 22 and the protruding strip-like shielding wall 24 are indicated by arrow F.
By selecting a shape that is oriented in a direction, resin molding processing using a mold can be easily performed with that direction as the die cutting direction.
