Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention is applicable to motorcycles and tricycles,
This relates to the arrangement structure of side grips used when hanging a stand.

[Prior Art] For example, in a motorcycle, a side grip is provided on the rear side of the vehicle body so that the side grip can be gripped when hanging a stand or the like.

Conventionally, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 58-103968, side grips have been constructed by bending pipes or rods, and are attached to brackets fixed to the frame, such as between the body cover and the seat. They are forced to face the outside world.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, if the side grip is constructed by bending a pipe or rod, it takes time and effort to manufacture it, leading to an increase in cost. Furthermore, if the side grips are exposed to the outside from between the seat and the body cover, there are problems such as restrictions on the arrangement of the side grips and a reduction in the degree of freedom in design.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems.A resin baggage storage box is installed inside the body cover that covers the engine, and is connected to the inside of the body cover and the baggage storage box. A side grip is integrally molded on the side of the baggage storage box, and an air outlet for discharging hot air inside the body cover is opened on the side of the body cover. The air outlet is characterized in that the side grip faces the air outlet so that it can be gripped from outside the body cover.

[Function] In the above configuration, hot air from the engine inside the body cover is drawn out from the air outlet while the vehicle is running, and the body cover is not filled with hot air. In particular, since the air outlet is provided on the side of the body cover, the hot air inside the body cover is effectively led out to the outside by the action of the traveling air flow along the outer surface of the body cover. In addition, the side grip can be grasped by placing a hand on the air outlet, thereby providing support when hanging the stand.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the entire scooter type motorcycle of the embodiment. In the figure, 1 is a rear wheel, 2 is an engine, 3 is a transmission mechanism, 4 is a seat, 5 is a body cover, and 6 is a stand. The body cover 5 is made of synthetic resin and has an oval and short cylindrical shape, and is disposed above the engine 2 so as to cover the engine 2. A bathtub-shaped luggage storage box 7 as shown in FIG. 2 is disposed inside the body cover 5, and can be opened by lifting the seat 4.

This baggage storage box 7 is manufactured by integrally molding synthetic resin to a size that can accommodate a helmet, and as shown in FIG. 3, it has an integral horizontally long side grip 8 on its side. side grip 8
A part of the upper edge of the baggage storage box 7 is curved and extended outward and downward, and as shown in cross section in FIG. 4, the lower edge is expanded outward to make it easier to grip. The luggage storage box 7, which is formed to be slightly smaller than the inner circumference of the body cover 5, has an appropriate gap S between it and the body cover 5, as shown in FIG.
It is firmly fixed to the vehicle frame while maintaining the same condition.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the body cover 5 has an air inlet 9 at the front side and an air outlet 10 at the rear side. Cool air is taken into the body cover 5, and hot air inside the body cover 5 is discharged to the outside from an air outlet 10. In this case, body cover 5
Gap S between the inner surface and the outer surface of the luggage storage box 7
A small gap S' behind the gap S' serves as an air passage, and hot air A rising from the engine 2 into the gaps S and S' is sucked out from the air outlet 10.

The side grip 8 faces this air outlet 10 so that it can be gripped from the outside. That is, the air outlet 10 is connected to the body cover 5.
It has a horizontally long opening in a part slightly recessed from the outer surface thereof, and as shown in FIG. 4, its upper peripheral edge 10a extends outward in the shape of an eave. A side grip 8 is disposed along the back side of the upper circumferential edge 10a extending like an eave, and although the side grip 8 is blocked by the upper circumferential edge 10a and cannot be seen directly from the outside, it is easy to put your hand in from below. It is now possible to hold it. Note that the reference numeral 11 in FIG. 4 is a seal rubber provided between the seat 4 and the luggage storage box 7.

In a motorcycle configured in this way,
When the vehicle is stopped, the stand 6 can be hung while supporting the vehicle body by holding the side grips 8 auxiliary. Furthermore, while the vehicle is running, as shown in FIG. 5, cold air is taken in from the air inlet 9 and hot air inside the body cover 5 is exhausted from the air outlet 10. Therefore, the body cover 5 is not filled with hot air.

Furthermore, in the above-described motorcycle, since the side grip 8 is integrally formed with the luggage storage box 7, the side grip 8 does not require much time to manufacture or install. Furthermore, since the side grip 8 faces the air outlet 10, there is no need to make any other holes or the like, and the appearance will not be spoiled. Further, since the air outlet 10 is provided with an upper circumferential edge 10a extending like an eave and covering the side grip 8, the side grip 8 is not exposed to rain or the like. Also, a side grip 8 is provided on the back side of the upper peripheral edge 10a.
, the upper peripheral edge 10a can be reinforced.

In the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to a scooter-type motorcycle, but the present invention can of course be applied to a larger two-person motorcycle or a tricycle. .
In such a case, the person may hold the side grip 8 to hold himself or herself, but at that time, the side grip is warmed by the exhaust air from the air outlet, thereby achieving a heat retention effect in cold weather.

[Effects of the invention] In the present invention, a resin baggage storage box is placed inside the body cover with a gap between the two, and the side grips are integrally molded with the resin baggage storage box. It is possible to reduce the number of parts and reduce costs while using the gap as a hot air passage. Furthermore, since the side grip faces the air outlet, the side grip can be placed at a relatively arbitrary position without the need to provide a special hole.
