BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for mounting steps such as a main step and a brake pedal or a change pedal in a vehicle such as a motorcycle.

0002

[Prior Art] In a motorcycle, a support shaft on which a footrest and a foot-operated pedal are both attached and supported is passed through a long hole for position adjustment formed in a bracket on the side of the vehicle body.
On the back side of the bracket, the foot protection plate is tightened and fixed to the support shaft using a nut.
It is publicly known in the publication No.

0003

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] In such a conventional step mounting structure, when the support shaft that supports both the foot step and the foot-operated pedal is attached to and removed from the bracket, it is difficult to attach and remove the foot protection plate from the support shaft. It is necessary to do both at the same time, which requires troublesome attachment and detachment work.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a step mounting structure in which a foot step for a motorcycle, etc., a foot-operated pedal, and their supporting shafts can be attached to and detached from a bracket on the side of the vehicle body while still being assembled to the plate. It is about providing.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a vehicle such as a motorcycle in which a footrest step and a foot operation pedal are attached to a bracket provided on the side of the vehicle body so that the position of the footrest is adjustable. A support shaft for mounting and supporting both the mounting step and the foot-operated pedal is coupled to a plate, and this plate is bolted to the bracket at a portion other than the support shaft such that the position can be adjusted, and the support shaft is attached to the bracket. It is characterized by having a cutout portion that faces.

[0006]

[Operation] A plate is formed into a bracket by connecting a support shaft that attaches and supports both the foot step and the foot operation pedal, and bolting the plate to the bracket on the side of the vehicle so that the position can be adjusted at the part other than the support shaft. Since the structure allows the support shaft to be exposed to the notch, it is possible to attach and remove the footrest from the bracket while the foot step, foot-operated pedal, and support shaft remain assembled to the plate.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 showing an embodiment to which the step mounting structure according to the present invention is applied, 1 is a bracket;
3 is a plate, 3 is a support shaft, 4 is a foot step, 5 is a foot operation pedal, 6 is a master cylinder, 8 is a return spring, and the bracket 1 is fixedly provided on the side of the vehicle body (not shown). In this embodiment, a motorcycle will be described, but the present invention is also applicable to other vehicles such as a three-wheeled motorcycle.

The bracket 1 is formed with a long hole 11 for position adjustment and a downwardly open notch 13 parallel to the long hole 11, and a recess 12 (see FIG. 2 and FIG. 3) are formed. This bracket 1 is bolted to the side surface of the vehicle body through mounting holes 15, 15, etc. on the upper and lower front parts.

The plate 2 is integrally provided with a support shaft 3 welded to the lower part thereof (see FIG. 2), and has upper and lower screw holes 21, 21 on the front side thereof, and an upwardly extending piece 23 formed therein. It will be done. The support shaft 3 passing through this plate 2 has
A U-shaped part 31 for mounting a step is formed at the outer end, and a shaft support 33 for mounting a pedal is formed at the inner part.

The main step 4, which is a footrest step, has a base 41 at its inner end attached to and supported by a pivot pin 43 on the U-shaped portion 31 at the outer end of the support shaft 3. It is a split pin for locking. The brake pedal 5, which is a foot-operated pedal, has its base 5 rotatably assembled to the shaft support 33 on the inside of the support shaft 3, and has a shape in which an arm 53 extending forward faces the outside of the plate 2 (see FIG. 2).
55 is a snap ring for preventing the brake pedal 5 from coming off.

A master cylinder 6 is connected and supported by upper and lower bolts 7, 7 on the upwardly extending piece 23 of the plate 2, and a piston rod 61 extending downward is provided from the master cylinder 6. There is. The lower end of this piston rod 61 is connected to the brake pedal base 51.
A return spring 8 is pivotally connected to the rear part of the brake pedal by a pivot pin 65 via a U-shaped connector 63, and a return spring 8 is provided between the front part of the brake pedal base 51 and the extending piece 23 of the plate 2. It is being constructed.

As described above, the support shaft 3 is integrally provided, and the support shaft 3
A plate 8 to which a main step 4 and a brake pedal 5 are attached, as well as a master cylinder 6 and a return spring 8, is arranged on the back side of the bracket 1. and 2 from the front side of bracket 1.
Pass the adjusting bolts 9, 9 through the long holes 11 of the bracket 1, and
21 so that the head of each adjustment bolt faces the recess 12 around the elongated hole 11 (see FIGS. 2 and 3).

In the assembled state as described above, the support shaft 3 is
As shown in FIG. 1, it faces into a downwardly open notch 13 parallel to the elongated hole 11 for position adjustment of the bracket 1. Therefore, when attaching and detaching the main step 4 and brake pedal 5 to and from the bracket 1, it is easy to attach and detach the adjustment bolts 9 and 9 while the main step 4 and brake pedal 5 are still attached to the support shaft 3 that is integrated with the plate 2. can be done.

In the embodiment, the main step and brake pedal have been explained, but the main step and change pedal provided on the opposite side of the vehicle body will also be described.
The common support shaft and the relationship between the plate and the bracket are substantially the same.

[0015]

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the step mounting structure of the present invention, the plate to which the support shaft for mounting and supporting both the foot step and the foot-operated pedal is connected can be attached to the side surface of the vehicle body in a portion other than the support shaft. The structure is bolted to the bracket so that its position can be adjusted, and the support shaft faces the notch formed in the bracket. It can be easily attached and detached.
