Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to a side stand switch for a motorcycle.

[Prior Art] It is well known that a motorcycle is used to prevent forgetting to store the vehicle when the vehicle is running with the side stand out, for example, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-18139. Some are listed. This one is connected to a warning light etc. and is turned on in conjunction with the rotation of the side stand base.
A push button side stand switch that is turned off is shown.

In addition, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-201882, a rotary switch is provided on the bracket mounted on the body frame so as to overlap the bolt that pivotally attaches the side stand, and a cover integrated with this rotary switch protects the bolt. There is.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, when the side stand switch is provided at the base of the side stand, the side stand switch is placed very close to the foot of the occupant, and the occupant must be careful not to always contact the side stand switch at the feet. is there. Further, since the position of the side stand switch is usually the lower part of the frame, it comes close to the ground. For this reason, it is also desired to make it difficult for pebbles and the like that are flipped up from the road surface to collide with the side stand switch. These things
Mounted on the outer surface of the base of the side stand switch,
This is particularly important in the case of a side stand switch that is configured to have a high height so as to project outward.

For this reason, it is conceivable to attach a protective cover to the side stand switch, but in this case, if the cover and the side stand switch are integrated, the entire switch must be replaced, so replacement costs are high.
It is also desired that only the cover can be attached / detached without removing the side stand switch.

Then, the objective of this invention is providing the side stand switch apparatus which can solve such a problem.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, a side stand switch according to the present invention includes a bracket attached to a lower portion of a frame, and a base portion rotatably attached to the bracket via an attachment shaft. A side stand, a side stand switch that is operated by the rotation of the side stand, and a protector that covers at least the lower side of the outer surface of the side stand switch to the bracket when the side stand switch is mounted on the outer surface of the base coaxially with the mounting shaft. While being attached, this protector is characterized by being provided with an opening portion that is open upward, and is removable from the lower side of the side stand switch.

[Advantage of the Invention] The side stand switch is mounted on the outer surface of the base of the side stand and has a bulky shape protruding outward, but at least the lower side of the outer side surface thereof is covered by the protector, so that the foot of the occupant is not affected. Makes it difficult to make direct contact with the side stand switch. In addition, most of the pebbles that are flipped up often collide with the protector that covers the lower side of the outer side surface of the side stand switch, and the side stand is protected from these collisions.

Moreover, since the protector has an opening opening upward, the side stand switch can be detachably attached to the bracket from below without removing the side stand switch.

[Embodiment] FIGS. 1 to 6 show an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 shows a motorcycle with the rear part of the body omitted, where 1 is an engine, 2 is a change pedal, 3 is a footrest, 4 is a main pipe, 5 is a lower pipe, 6 is a pivot pipe,
7 is a seat rail, 8 is a rear pipe, 9 is a rear pipe bracket, 10 is a rear pipe 8 and a rear pipe bracket 9.
It is a connecting bolt with. The main pipe 4, the lower pipe 5, the pivot pipe 6, the seat rail 7, the rear pipe 8 and the like constitute a vehicle body frame of the motorcycle.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a side stand. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the side stand 11 has a base 12 rotatably connected to a side stand bracket 13 attached to the pivot pipe 6. Side stand bracket 13
Has its tip end side projecting obliquely outward and its outer surface is in an upward state (see FIG. 4). One end of the spring 15 is locked to the tip of the rod 14 planted on the outer surface. Has been done. The other end of the spring 15 is connected to the intermediate portion of the side stand 11 (see FIG. 1).

The base 12 and the side stand bracket 13 have a stepped shape,
They are connected by a mounting shaft 17 having a screw 16 formed at the tip. The side stand switch 18 is mounted on the outer surface of the base 12 by coupling the screw 16 of the mounting shaft 17 with the nut 16a. The side stand switch 18 is composed of a rotor portion 19 that rotates integrally with the base portion 12 and an immovable portion 20, the rotor portion 19 is fitted in the immovable portion 20, and the movable contact 21 has a rotor portion 19 or a base portion.
It is adapted to come into contact with and separate from the fixed contact 22 with the rotation of 12. The immovable portion 20 is attached to the top of the attachment shaft 17 by a bolt 23. As shown in FIG. 2, the immovable portion 20 has a groove 20.
a is formed, and the rod 14 is engaged with this to prevent the immovable portion 20 from rotating. Further, a socket 25 is connected to the coupler portion 24 from which a terminal that contacts the fixed contact 22 extends, and a cord 26 extends upward from this.

As is most apparent in FIG. 2, the lower half of the outer surface of the side stand switch 18 is covered by the protector 27. The protector 27 is made of a suitable metal or the like, has an opening opening upward, and flanges 27a and 27b formed in the front-rear direction are detachably fixed to the side stand bracket 13 from below the side stand switch with screws 28. ing. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, a cutout for draining water and mud is provided in the lower portion.
29 are formed. The notch 29 has a relatively narrow portion 29a on the front side in the traveling direction (reference numeral f in FIG. 5) and a wide portion 29b on the rear side.

FIG. 6 is a view showing the rear pipe bracket 9 portion from above, and a cord 26 passes through a space surrounded by the rear pipe bracket 9 consisting of a pair of left and right parallel members, the pivot pipe 6 and the rear frame 8. This way,
The cord 26 can be reliably separated from the chain 30 inside the pivot pipe 6 and the foot F on the footrest 3. The cord 26 extends upward along the pivot pipe 6 and clamps 31 along the way.
It is fixed (see FIGS. 1 and 4) and is connected to an instrument panel (not shown).

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. When the foot F on the footrest 3 is moved to operate the change pedal 2 or the like, the side stand switch 18 which is attached to the outer surface of the side stand bracket 13 and which protrudes outward at the foot is protected by the protector 27. Because
It becomes difficult for the foot F to directly contact the side stand switch 18. Therefore, the foot F can be moved and the change operation can be performed without much concern for the side stand switch 18.

Further, since the protector 27 covers the lower side of the side stand switch 18, pebbles and the like that are flipped up during traveling often collide with the protector 27, and the side stand switch 18 is easily protected. Further, even if rainwater or mud enters between the side stand switch 18 and the protector 27, these are discharged from the notch 29 below, so that the side stand switch 18 is also waterproof. Moreover, the notch 29 prevents pebbles and the like flying from the front by the narrow portion 29a on the front side in the traveling direction, and efficiently removes mud and the like by the wide portion 29b on the rear side. further,
Since the protector 27 is provided with an opening opening upward and the flanges 27a and 27b formed in the front-rear direction are fixed to the side stand bracket 13 by the screw 28, even if the spring 15 and the side stand switch 18 are close to each other. It can be installed from below the side stand switch.

The side stand 11 and the switch 18 may be provided on a rear fork (not shown). The rear fork is a known member whose front end is pivotally attached to the pivot part of the pivot pipe 6 and whose rear end rotatably supports the axle of the rear wheel.
Attach 13 to the lower end of the rear fork, for example,
This bracket 13 has a side stand 11 and the same switch
18 and protector 27 are installed. This way,
The ground clearance of the bracket 13 rises, and it is possible to prevent interference with the ground.

[Advantage of the Invention] The side stand switch according to the present invention is mounted on the outer surface of the base of the side stand coaxially with its mounting shaft, and at least the outer lower side thereof is covered with the protector, so that it is bulky outward. Even if it is provided protruding,
Protected by protector. Therefore, the occupant can move his / her feet without worrying about his / her feet, even though the side stand switch is arranged close to his / her feet. In addition, it is easy to be protected from pebbles and the like that are flipped up during traveling.

Moreover, since the opening opened upward is provided above the protector and can be detachably attached to the bracket from below the side stand switch, only the protector can be replaced regardless of the side stand, so that the replacement cost is low. Moreover, it is possible to easily replace only the protector with the side stand still attached. Further, even when the return spring is provided close to the outside of the side stand switch and the protector, only the protector can be attached and detached without removing the spring.
