Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a rear fender mounting device for a two-wheeled motor vehicle.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, a rear fender is screwed to the rear frame of a vehicle body at multiple locations on the front and rear, or the front end of the rear fender is engaged with the vehicle body through an engaging pawl formed therein, and the rear end is attached to the rear frame. It is generally attached to the vehicle body by screwing it to the rear end.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) In the former conventional technology, there are many screwed parts, which makes alignment and tightening work troublesome, resulting in poor workability, and in the latter conventional technology, there are many screwed parts. This will make alignment easier, but since the rear fender is screwed to the rear end of the rear frame where there is no cover member such as a side cover, care must be taken to prevent the screwed parts from being exposed to the sides and spoiling the appearance. The screws are tightened from below, and the tightening work remains troublesome.

An object of the present invention is to provide a mounting device that solves these problems and greatly improves the work of mounting a rear fender.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for attaching a rear fender to a rear frame of a motorcycle body. A cover member formed into a stepped shape having a rising part and a rear half extending rearward, the rear fender being pin-engaged with the rear end of the rear frame from the rear at the rising part, and the cover member being retrofitted to the vehicle body. The front end of the front half is screwed to the rear frame from the side.

(Function) The rear fender has two parts in front and behind the screw-fastening point at the front end of the front half and the pin-engaging point at the rising part in the middle.
It is fixed to the rear frame at certain points and can be installed without wobbling in any direction, up, down, left, right, front or back.

Here, the screwing at the front end of the front half is done from the side, which reduces the number of screwing locations and greatly improves the installation workability.

In addition, a cover member such as a side cover that is generally attached to the vehicle body extends from the front end of the rear fender placement part, and the screw fixing points at the front end are covered from the side by installing this cover member and are not visible from the outside.
In addition, the pin engagement portion is also covered by the rear half of the rear fender that is continuous with the rising portion and is not visible from the outside, resulting in a good appearance.

(Embodiment) Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 designates a motorcycle body having a pair of front and rear wheels 2, 2 made of balloon tires and an intermediate engine 3; A fuel tank 4 at the front and a seat 5 at the rear are provided, and a side cover 6 made of resin is provided below the side surface of the seat 5, and a rear fender 7 made of resin is further provided behind the side cover 6.

The rear fender 7 is attached to the frame 1a at the rear of the vehicle body 1, which is made of a seat rail.
a front half part 7a that covers from below, and a rising part 7 in the middle.
b and a rear half 7c extending rearward. The rear frame 1a includes a cross member 1b installed horizontally between the rear ends of the left and right side members of the frame.
As shown in FIG. 3, a pair of left and right pins 8, 8 are provided protrudingly on the back surface of the cross member 1b, which is the rear end of a, and the rising portion 7b is inserted into these from the rear via each rubber grommet 9. As shown in FIG.
An overlapping tongue piece 10 is provided protruding from the side surface of a bracket 1c fixed to the rear frame 1a, a screw 12 is inserted through the tongue piece 10 through a rubber bushing 11, and the tongue piece 10 is attached to the bracket 1c from the side. It was screwed on.

This screw-fastening point is covered from the side by the rear end portion of the side cover 6 that is retrofitted to the vehicle body 1, and the pin engagement point is also covered by the rear half of the rear fender 7 that is continuous with the rising portion 7b. However, both locations do not appear externally.

Furthermore, in the illustrated example, in order to provide a sense of unity between the side cover 6 and the rear fender 7, the side cover 6, the rear end, and the front end of the rear fender 7 are inserted into protrusions 13 and 14 that protrude from each other. In this case, the rubber grommet 9 and rubber bush 11 described above function effectively to absorb the relative positional error between the side cover 6 and the rear fender 7 and ensure this joint.

In addition, the seat 5 and side cover 6 are shown in the figure.
are extended forward so that the extended portions cover the fuel tank 4 from the top to the sides, and the seat 5 is held between the fuel tank 4 and the vehicle body 1 by the claw pieces 5a and 5b.
The vehicle body 1 is secured to the vehicle body 1 by a locking member (not shown).
In addition, the side cover 6 is fixed to the fuel tank 4 and the vehicle body 1 at each of the plurality of locking portions 6a and 6b, and is fastened to the vehicle body 1 by a mounting screw 6c at the lower center thereof.

(Effect of the invention) As described above, according to the invention, the rear fender can be assembled by simply engaging the rear fender with the rear end of the rear frame from the rear at the intermediate rising part, and screwing the front end of the rear fender to the rear frame from the side. The installation work efficiency is improved, and even when screwed from the side, the screwed part is covered by the cover member, and the pin engagement part is also located in the rear half of the rear fender, which is continuous with the rising part. Since these screw-fastening points and pin-engaging points are not visible in the external appearance, the external appearance is also improved.
