Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a rear carrier of a motorcycle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 5 shows a large rear carrier provided in a motorcycle. Such a rear carrier 10
0 is configured to include a carrier body 101 for loading luggage and a stopper 102 provided near the front end of the carrier body 101. The carrier body 101 is fixed to the vehicle body in a slightly lower front posture so that the loaded luggage does not fall backward. Therefore, the luggage is the carrier body
Trying to move forward over 101, but above stopper 10
2 prevents forward movement.

Conventionally, such a stopper 102 has been fixed to the carrier body 101 by welding.

[0004]

However, when traveling without loading luggage on the rear carrier 100, the upright stopper 102 is very conspicuous, which deteriorates the appearance of the motorcycle. In addition, there is a problem that the pedestrian's clothing is caught on the stopper 102 when the motorcycle is pushed to walk.

There are many users who do not need the stopper 102 except for business users who carry large-sized luggage. For such users, a rear carrier without the stopper 102 is provided to improve the appearance and reduce the price. However, if the stopper 102 is not provided, only small and lightweight luggage can be loaded, which may be inconvenient.

The present invention has been made in order to solve such problems, and achieves both the stabilization of luggage and the improvement of appearance, and also facilitates walking by pushing a motorcycle.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a rear carrier of a motorcycle that can be further reduced in price.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, a rear carrier of a motorcycle according to the present invention is provided with a carrier body for loading luggage and a front portion of the carrier body provided near the front end of the carrier body. In a rear carrier of a motorcycle having a stopper for preventing movement, the stopper is detachably attached to the carrier body, and the upper end position of a stopper mounting portion provided on the carrier body for mounting the stopper is set to the carrier. It was set below the upper contour of the main body.

[0008]

According to the rear carrier of the motorcycle having the above structure, the stopper is attachable to and detachable from the carrier body. Therefore, for example, when a large or heavy luggage is to be stably loaded, the stopper is attached to the carrier body. The stopper can be removed from the carrier body when the luggage is small or light, or when the luggage is not loaded.

In this way, it is possible to both stabilize the load and improve the appearance, and it is also possible to supply the rear carrier to the user who does not need the stopper without the stopper, and the rear carrier. It is possible to reduce the price.

Further, since the upper end position of the stopper mounting portion for mounting the stopper is set lower than the upper contour of the carrier body, the stopper mounting portion does not project onto the carrier body even if the stopper is removed. For this reason, when walking by pushing the motorcycle, there is no concern that the pedestrian's clothing will be caught by the rear carrier, and walking becomes easier.

The rear carrier 17 includes a carrier body 18 fixed to the vehicle body frame 2 in a slightly downward posture, and a stopper 19 provided upright near the front end of the carrier body 18. Luggage is loaded on the carrier body 18, and the stopper 19 is detachably provided on the carrier body 18 to prevent the luggage loaded on the carrier body 18 from shifting forward.

As shown in FIG. 3, the carrier body 18 is
For example, a frame body 22 made of a pipe material or a round bar material is fixed around the flat plate-shaped center plate 21 located in the central portion, and a reinforcing material 23 is further provided between the rear portion of the center plate 21 and the frame body 22. It has a fixed configuration. In addition,
The center plate 21 has the carrier body 18 with four screws 24
A screw hole 25 for fixing to the vehicle body frame 2 is provided. Further, the frame body 22 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 26 extending downward, and a rubber rope or the like for binding the luggage loaded on the carrier body 18 can be hooked.

On the other hand, the stopper 19 is formed by bending, for example, a pipe material or a round bar material into a substantially inverted U-shape, and as shown in FIG.
Is fixed, and from this flange 27, the insertion part 28 with
Extends downward, and a screw 29 is formed on the insertion portion 28.

A pair of left and right short pipe-shaped stopper mounting portions 30 are fixed to the frame body 22 of the carrier body 18 inside the vicinity of the front end portion by welding or the like. The distance between the stopper mounting portions 30 is set to be the same as the distance between the insertion portions 28 of the stopper 19, and the position of the upper end A of the stopper mounting portion 30 is the upper contour B of the carrier body 18 (frame body 22). It is set to be located below.

To fix the stopper 19 to the carrier body 18, the insertion portion 28 of the stopper 19 is inserted into the left and right stopper mounting portions 30 from above, and the flange 27 is brought into contact with the upper end A of the stopper mounting portion 30 to stop the stopper. A nut (31) is fastened to a male screw (29) of an insertion portion (28) protruding below the mounting portion (30). By removing the nut 31, the stopper 19 can be pulled out upward.

In this way, the stopper 19 serves as the carrier body 18
Since it is detachable with respect to, for example, when loading a large luggage or a heavy luggage on the rear carrier 17, if the stopper 19 is attached to the carrier main body 18, the stopper 19 tries to move the luggage forward. Prevents and stabilizes luggage. Further, when the luggage is small and lightweight, or when the luggage is not loaded, the stopper 19 can be removed from the carrier body 18 to improve the appearance around the rear carrier 17.
