Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a movable windscreen provided in vehicles such as motorcycles and tricycles.

(Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and inventions) Some motorcycles and tricycles have a front cowl at the front of the vehicle body, and usually a transparent windscreen is installed on the top of this front cowl. is provided.

In recent years, a so-called movable windscreen has been proposed, which is configured to be able to freely adjust the angle of the front cowl.

By the way, in such a movable windscreen, it has been desired to effectively hold the windscreen at each angle after adjusting it to a desired angle, and it is also desirable to have a simple structure for holding the windscreen. It was wanted.

On the other hand, it has also been desired to be able to easily release the windscreen after holding it at a desired position.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a movable windscreen that can securely hold the windscreen at each angle and easily release it at a desired position. There is a formula windscreen to offer.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems and achieve the above objects, the present invention provides a vehicle such as a motorcycle in which a wind screen is provided on the upper part of the front cowl. is coupled to the front cowl in an angle-adjustable manner, a locking portion separate from the windscreen is provided rearward of the connecting portion on the side portion of the windscreen, and a locking portion is provided on the front cowl to the locking portion. A corresponding stopper member is provided, and a locking surface that locks the locking portion in multiple stages according to the angle of the windscreen is formed on the stopper member, and the locking surface and the locking portion are locked. is held by an elastic member, and the stopper member is provided with an operation piece that swings the stopper member against the elasticity of the elastic member to release the lock between the locking surface and the locking portion. It is characterized by

(Function) Since the locking portion is locked with the locking surface of the stopper member depending on the angle of the windscreen, the windscreen can be held effectively at each angle. Further, the locking between the locking portion and the locking surface can be released by simply pushing an operating piece provided on the stopper member, so that the operation is easy.

(Embodiment) A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a front cowl made of resin that is attached to the front part of a vehicle body such as a motorcycle. A base member 2 also made of resin is integrally formed. The base member 2 consists of side pieces 21, 21 and a central part 22 that connects these pieces, and stays 23, 23 projecting upward are fixed inside the side pieces 21, 21 with screws 25. .

Reference numeral 3 denotes a windscreen attached to the upper part of the front cowl 1, and the windscreen 3 has side pieces 3 bent downward to the left and right of the front part 30.
2, 32, and short cylindrical locking portions 38, 38 are fixed with screws 48 to the inner surfaces of the intermediate portions rearward of the stays 23, 23 near the lower edges of the side pieces 32, 32. The wind screen 3 can be freely adjusted in angle with respect to the base member 2, that is, the front cowl 1, by pivoting connecting pieces 33, 33 provided on the left and right sides of the inside of the front portion to the stays 23, 23.

Base members 26, 26 are formed integrally with the side pieces 21 on the inside of each of the side pieces 21, 21 of the base member, and the base 40a of the case member 40 is attached to the inside of the base member 26 with screws 41. Fix this board 26
The side piece 32 of the wind screen 3 is disposed between the case member 40 and the case member 40 so as to be movable in the vertical direction (vertical direction in FIGS. 3 and 5).

An end of a stopper member 50 is pivotally attached to the base 40a of the case member 40, and the stopper member 50
is urged by a return spring 51 in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 6, that is, in the A direction.

A boss portion 50c as shown in FIG. 5 is formed on the inner surface of the stopper member 50.
c is inserted through a long hole 40b formed in the case member 40, and a knob 60, which is an operating piece, is fixed to the tip thereof with a screw 62. When the knob 60 is pushed in the direction B in FIG. 4, the stopper member 50 swings in the direction C in FIG. 6 against the elasticity of the return spring 51.

The stopper member 50 has two locking surfaces 50.
a, 50b are formed, and this locking surface 50
a, 50b has the wind screen side piece 3
A locking portion 38 fixed to 2 is locked.

When the locking portion 38 is locked to the locking surface 50a, the windscreen 3 is in the normal position, that is, the first position.
When the windscreen 3 is swung upwards from this state around its front pivot point, that is, in the direction D in FIG. 2, the locking portion 38 slides on the locking surface 50a while swinging the stopper member 50 in the direction C in FIG. 6 against the elasticity of the return spring 51, and when it swings to a predetermined position, it locks on the locking surface 50b. . In this state, the windscreen is in the upper position, i.e. in the first position.
The position will be as shown in FIG.

Next, if you want to return to the normal position from this state, just push the knob 60 in the direction B in FIG. 4. When the knob 60 is pushed in the B direction, the stopper member 50 swings in the C direction as described above, thereby releasing the lock between the locking part 38 and the locking surface 50b, and the wind screen 3 is lowered and the windscreen 3 is lowered. The position shown in is the normal position.

In this embodiment, the windscreen 3 is held in two positions: the upper position and the normal position.
The wind screen 3 may be held in multiple stages by increasing the number of locking surfaces.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, according to the invention, the locking portion is locked with the locking surface of the stopper member depending on the angle of the windscreen, so the windscreen can be held effectively at each angle. can do.
Further, the locking between the locking portion and the locking surface can be released by simply pushing an operating piece provided on the stopper member, so the operation is easy. Further, according to the present invention, since the locking portion of the windscreen and the locking surface of the stopper member are held locked by the elastic member, when the windscreen is swung upward from its lowest position, The lock between the locking portion and the locking surface is released against the elasticity of the elastic member, and the windscreen can be brought into the maximum upright state instantly.

In addition, the front part of the windscreen is connected to the front cowl in an angle-adjustable manner, and the windscreen is supported via a locking part behind this joint part. Since the windscreen is supported behind the fulcrum, even if an external force is applied to the windscreen, it is possible to prevent a large force from being applied to the locking portion.

In addition, in this invention, since the stopper member is provided with a multi-stage locking surface in advance to lock the locking part, the angle of the windscreen can be mechanically adjusted extremely accurately, and the angle of the windscreen can be adjusted evenly on the left and right sides. I can make adjustments.

Furthermore, in this invention, the locking part is separate from the windscreen, so if the locking part deteriorates, only this locking part needs to be replaced, making maintenance easy, and the windscreen itself can be replaced. Since there is no need to do so, maintenance costs can be reduced.
