Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a step floor structure for a scooter type vehicle having a low floor structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-47194 discloses a scooter type vehicle having a low floor type step floor overlaid with a floor mat such as rubber. Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-146772 discloses a scooter type vehicle in which a protrusion formed as a separate member is provided to allow the heel to rest on a part of the step floor and the protrusion is projected upward. The step floor is formed of metal such as iron or a relatively rigid synthetic resin, and often has a non-slip projection formed on the surface.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Jitsuko Sho 63-4719
According to No. 4, since the floor mat made of rubber or the like is relatively soft, even if the surface gets wet, it does not easily slip. However, there are problems that the wear resistance is weak and the mud-removing property of shoes is also weak.

On the other hand, the non-slip portion formed on the surface of the step floor itself is relatively hard in material itself, so that it has both good abrasion resistance and mud-removing property, but on the other hand, it becomes slippery when wet, and also has a hard feel There is a problem of becoming.

Incidentally, the heel-mounting projection provided in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 146772/1985 does not function as a slip stopper.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a step floor structure for a scooter type vehicle according to the present invention is a step floor formed of a material having relatively low rigidity with a low floor center portion of the vehicle body. In a scooter type vehicle provided with, the step floor surface is integrally provided with a non-slip part made of many irregularities, and an elastic piece made of a material softer and more elastic than the surrounding non-slip part is provided in a part thereof. It is characterized in that the top surface of this elastic piece is attached to the same level as or lower than the circumference.

[0007]

Since the elastic piece is provided on the step floor surface, the tactile feel becomes soft and the step floor surface becomes less slippery even if it gets wet. Moreover, since the elastic piece is embedded in the anti-slip part formed on the surface of the step floor, and the anti-slip part easily contacts the shoe, the mud-removing property is kept good, and the elastic piece Since it is protected by the non-slip part, abrasion resistance is improved.

[0008]

Since the anti-slip portion formed on the surface of the step floor is combined with the elastic piece, the elastic piece softens the touch and prevents slipping even if the surface gets wet. Moreover, the height of the surface of the elastic piece is made equal to or lower than that of the anti-slip part, so that the mud-removing property of the anti-slip part is kept good and the abrasion resistance of the elastic piece is improved. You can

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 shows a side view of a scooter type motorcycle with a roof to which the embodiment is applied. Handle 1 on the front of the car
Is connected to a front fork 3 via a steering shaft 2, and a front wheel 4 is supported at its lower end.

A rear wheel 7 is supported by a power swing unit 6 at a rear portion of a frame 5 which supports the steering shaft 2. Frame 5 is for low floor,
The seat 8 is supported by the lower part of the middle part, which rises upward in the rear part.

The front part of the steering shaft 2 and the front forks 3 of the vehicle body are covered with a front vehicle body cover 10. A screen 11 extends obliquely upward from the upper portion of the front vehicle body cover 10, and its upper end is connected to a substantially horizontal roof 12.

A rear portion of the roof 12 is connected to a pair of left and right pillars 13 extending downward, and a lower end portion of the pillar 13 is attached to a rear end portion of the frame 5.

The front vehicle body cover 10 has a front cover 14 forming a front appearance surface thereof, a middle cover 15 which is fitted to a rear surface thereof and a lower portion thereof also serves as a front fender, and a rear cover 16 which is fitted to a rear surface thereof to form a rear side appearance surface. It is divided into and.

The lower end of the rear cover 16 is connected from below the seat 8 to a floor cover 17 which covers the center of the vehicle body formed in front of the seat 8 in a low-floor type, and extends from the seat 8 to the front of the floor cover 17. Step floors 18 are provided on the left and right.

The lower rear part of the middle cover 15 extends obliquely downward toward the front end of the step floor 18 and extends rearward, and is fastened together with the front end of the lower cover 19 and the bolt 19a to the frame 5 side.

The rear portion of the lower cover 19 extends above the rear wheel 7, and the seat 8, the floor cover 17 and the lower cover 1 are provided.
The part surrounded by the rear part of 9 is covered with a rear cover 20.

A pillar cover 20a, which opens vertically, is attached to the rear side surface of the rear cover 20 so as to project laterally.

The pillar 1 is viewed from above the pillar cover 20a.
3 extends upward, and a lower portion is a grip portion for putting a hand and moving the vehicle body.

The inside of the rear portion of the rear cover 20 serves as a trunk, which can be opened and closed by a seat 8 locked by a seat lock 20b.

Reference numeral 21 in the figure is a meter panel 2
2 integrated meter visor, 23 rearview mirror, 2
4 is a mirror boot, 25 is a headlight, 26 is a protector rubber, 27 is a tail lamp, 28 is a high mount stop lamp, and G is the center of gravity.

FIG. 1 shows the left half of the plan view of the step floor 18, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross section taken along the line AA of FIG. In these figures, the step floor 18 is made of a suitable synthetic resin, and a non-slip portion 30 made of unevenness of an appropriate shape and size is integrally formed on the surface thereof (FIG. 3).
reference).

The non-slip portion 30 is formed by repeating a plurality of block units each having a substantially right triangle or a parallelogram, and a rubber piece 31 is attached to a block within a range B in which a foot is most frequently placed. There is. Rubber piece 31
Corresponds to the elastic piece of the present invention.

The rubber piece 31 is made of a rubber material that is softer and more elastic than the anti-slip portion 30 and has a large wear coefficient, and has a flat concave portion 3 formed in the central portion of the anti-slip portion 30.
The mounting portion 34 is inserted into the mounting hole 33 formed in the periphery of the rubber piece 31, and the mounting portion 34 projecting downward from the periphery of the rubber piece 31 is inserted into the mounting hole 33 and engaged by the claws 35 provided on the sides thereof. .

A plurality of grooves 36 are formed on the surface of the rubber piece 31 in a linear shape or in an appropriate shape. The top surface of the rubber piece 31 is flush with the top surface of the anti-slip portion 30 or slightly lower than this.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. Since the rubber piece 31 is combined with the anti-slip portion 30 formed on the step floor 18, the rubber piece 31 provides a soft touch, and even when the step floor 18 gets wet, the rubber piece 31 makes it difficult to slip.

Further, since the surface of the rubber piece 31 is flush with or slightly lower than the surface of the anti-slip portion 30, the rubber piece 31 is embedded in the anti-slip portion 30, and the anti-slip portion 30 becomes the rubber piece 31. To protect
Abrasion resistance is improved.

Further, since the anti-slip portion 30 can come into contact with the shoe, the mud-removing property can be kept good. Moreover, in the present embodiment, the rubber pieces 31 are provided only in the range B where the foot is most frequently placed, so that the number of rubber pieces 31 to be used can be minimized. The step floor 18 may be made of metal and the anti-slip portion 30 may be integrally formed on the surface thereof.
