Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Purpose of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to a fender device for a straddle-type vehicle that travels on rough terrain.

(Prior Art) Traditionally, straddle-type vehicles that mainly travel on rough terrain have front and rear wheels 1 and 2 equipped with thick tires, as shown in FIG. are covered by fenders 3 and 4 to prevent mud from splashing when driving on rough terrain, wasteland, wetlands, etc. In particular, a mat guard 5 is attached to the rear fender 4 from the outside to the rear, and the rear fender 4 We are dealing with mud splatter.

As shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 4, this mud guard 5 is a flat plate made of plastic or the like, and its mounting portion 6 is raised in an L-shape.
This mounting portion 6 is fastened and attached to the side surface of the fender main body 4 with a plurality of bolts 7, 7, . . . .

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the conventional mounting structure of the muzzle guard 5 described above, since the shape is maintained only by its rigidity, it is difficult to attach the fender body 4 and the mound guard 5 while driving. It is easy for plants 8 to get in between, and if plants etc. get in between these spaces, excessive force will be applied to the mounting part of the mudguard 5, causing the mudguard 5 to deform and break at the fastening part, as shown in Figure 5. There were many times when I ended up in trouble. A similar situation occurs when not only the rear fender but also the front fender has a mound guard.

This invention was made with the aim of improving the above-mentioned problems of the conventional technology, and can prevent plants from entering between the fender body and the muzzle guard, thereby preventing damage to the muzzle guard. The present invention provides a fender device for a straddle-type vehicle.

[Structure of the idea]

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the problems of the prior art described above, in this invention, in a straddle type vehicle in which a muzzle guard is attached to the fender body of an all-terrain vehicle, the front end of the muzzle guard in the running direction The guard plate has a first surface part disposed along the front end surface of the mud guard, a second surface part bent and connected from the first surface part and disposed along the side surface of the fender main body, a third surface extending from the upper front end of the mudguard to the mudguard fastening part; a first engaging part that engages with the lower surface of the mudguard flap is formed at the lower end of the first surface; is formed with a second engaging portion that engages with the lower edge of the fender main body, and further has a mounting piece formed on the third surface portion through which a bolt for fastening the muzzle guard to the fender main body is inserted, and the first and second The engaging portion is engaged with each lower end of the muzzle guard and the fender body, and the mounting pieces are tightened together with the muzzle guard fastening bolts, so that the guard plate closes the attachment space between the fender body and the muzzle guard. That is.

(Function) When the above-mentioned straddle-type vehicle travels on rough or rough ground, even if plants or the like come into contact with the attachment part between the fender body and the muzzle guard, the attachment part between the fender body and the muzzle guard will be removed from the first and second parts of the guard plate. Since the guard plate is covered by the first and third surfaces, plants, etc. cannot get in, and the guard plate is covered by the first and second surfaces.
Since it is attached by engaging the fender main body and the lower end of the mud guard with the engaging part and tightening the mounting piece together, the mounting part of the mud guard is protected even if it is hit by plants, etc., and this prevents damage to the mud guard. Prevented.

(Embodiment) Hereinafter, an embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, with the same reference numerals assigned to the same members as in FIGS. 3 to 5.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the main part of this invention, and FIG. 2 shows a cross section taken along the line AA in FIG.

Similar to the conventional one, the mud guard 5 is formed with a mounting part 6 raised up from the base of the mud flap 5a, and the fastening part with the bolt 7 is formed in a U-shaped recess 9.
is formed to prevent the head of the bolt 7 from protruding.

The guard plate 10 attached to the front end of the mudguard 5 in the running direction is formed of a metal plate or the like, and includes a first surface portion 11 placed along the front end surface of the mudguard 5, and a first surface portion 11 on one side of the first surface portion 11. a second surface portion 12 that is bent and connected at a right angle and placed along the side surface of the fender main body 4; and a third surface portion 13 that is bent and connected to the upper end of the first surface portion 11 and extends from the upper front end of the mud guard 5 to the recess 9. A mat guard 5 is provided at the lower end of the first surface portion 11.
A first engaging portion 14 that engages with the lower surface of the front end of the fender is formed, and a U-shaped second engaging portion 15 that engages with the lower surface of the fender body 4 is formed at the lower end of the second surface portion 12. A mounting piece 16 having a shape that fits exactly into the recess 9 is formed by bending on the side of the three-sided portion 13 .

Therefore, the first engaging portion 11 is engaged with the lower surface of the front end of the mudguard 5, and the second surface portion 1
The second engaging part 15 of 2 is engaged with the lower surface of the fender main body 4, while the mounting piece 16 is fitted into the recess 9 and tightened together with the mud guard 5 with the bolt 7. It will be done.

As a result, the fender main body 4 and the muzzle guard 5
Installation between the first and second guard plate 10
The lower end of the guard plate 10 is closed by the face parts 11 and 12, and the first and second engaging parts 14 and 15 engage with the lower ends of the mud guard 5 and the fender main body 4, respectively, so that plants and trees can most easily invade. Easy to install: The lower part between the gaps is completely guarded, and even if plants hit the guard plate 10, the mud guard 5 is prevented from being damaged.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, in this invention, a guard plate is attached to the front end attachment part of the muzzle guard which is attached to the fender body of a straddle type vehicle for traveling on rough terrain, and this guard plate is installed along the front end surface of the muzzle guard. a second surface section bent from the first surface section and placed along the side surface of the fender main body; and a third surface section extending from the upper front end of the muzzle guard to the muzzle guard fastening section; The second surface part has first and second engaging parts formed at its lower end that engage with the lower edge of the fender main body and the lower surface of the mud flap of the mud guard, and a mounting piece connected to the third surface part that is attached to the fender main body integrally with the mud guard. Since they are fastened with bolts, even if plants hit the mounting part of the muzzle guard when driving on rough terrain, they will not get between the attachments of the fender main body and the muzzle guard, thereby preventing damage to the muzzle guard.
