DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a motorcycle carrier device, and more particularly to a motorcycle having a tandem type seat, in which a rear seat of the seat can be used as a space for occupant seating and storage. Also, the present invention relates to a motorcycle carrier device capable of facilitating attachment and detachment of a storage case.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As for a motorcycle storage, generally, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-103274, a rear carrier is extended behind a seat, and a storage is placed and fixed on the rear carrier. I have. In the structure described in this publication, the rear carrier and the storage compartment extend behind the seat, and the overall length of the motorcycle increases.

On the other hand, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-161684 discloses a container having a structure in which a bag is fixed on a rear seat of a tandem-type seat by hooking it with a belt on a hook provided on the seat side. In the structure described in this publication, the bag is attached to the back seat of the tandem-type seat with a belt so as to be detachably attached, so that the capacity of the storage compartment is limited. In addition, since the storage compartment is attached and supported so as to be pressed against the seat with a belt, there is a problem in terms of workability of attaching and detaching the storage compartment.

In Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 60-61983, a cargo box (storage) is slidably supported in the left and right direction on a vehicle body frame behind a single seat, and the cargo bed is positioned by a spring. Is disclosed.

In Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 60-24686, a storage case is provided so as to be able to be turned upside down with respect to a rear seat of a tandem type seat, and when the rear seat is not used, the storage case is folded down so as to overlap the rear seat. When placing and using the rear seat, raise the storage compartment and place the storage compartment behind the rear seat. In the structure described in this publication, the storage case is fixed to the seat back frame which is turned upside down, so that the storage case is greatly extended to the rear when standing up, and the front-rear dimension of the motorcycle is increased. Even when a storage case is not required, the storage case is always fixed by the backing structure, which is not preferable in terms of external shape. Further, since the portion corresponding to the loading platform that supports the storage compartment is of an upside down type, the structure is complicated.

[0006]

By the way, in a motorcycle provided with a tandem-type seat, when only a driver gets on the motorcycle, the vacant rear seat is desired to be used as a carrier on which a storage compartment is arranged. On the other hand, it is desirable that the storage compartment can be easily attached and detached in order to quickly respond to single-person and two-person riding. In addition, it is desirable to use a rigid carrier that can securely hold the container and that has a large capacity for the container that is detachably supported by the carrier. There is a demand that the storage capacity can be selected to be large or small. In particular, when the storage compartment is arranged in the rear seat of the seat, the storage compartment is located at the back of the occupant. In the above structure, the front and rear positions of the storage compartment with respect to the seat are uniquely determined, and the storage compartment is adjusted back and forth on the seat. I can't do that. By the way, depending on the structure of the storage compartment, the back of the occupant may hit, but depending on the personality of the occupant, the backrest may be preferred or disliked. Therefore, it is preferable that when the storage case is arranged on the seat, the front and rear positions of the storage case on the sheet can be adjusted.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem and to meet the above demand in a motorcycle having a tandem type seat. That is, the object of the present invention is to dispose a storage compartment in the rear seat of the tandem seat so that attachment and detachment of the storage compartment can be extremely facilitated, and the position of the storage compartment seat in the front-rear direction can be adjusted. , It is possible to place a storage at a position according to the crew's preference,
In addition, a large and small storage compartment can be selected and arranged, and the storage compartment can be securely held without depending on the rear seat itself of the seat, so that a small storage compartment can be arranged even in a two-passenger motorcycle. An object of the present invention is to provide a carrier device for a motorcycle.

[0008]

Means for Solving the Problems To solve the above-mentioned problems, a first aspect of the present invention is to provide a tandem-type motorcycle in which a seat is installed so as to extend rearward from the left and right sides of the seat in parallel with each other, and on a rear seat of the seat. The storage compartment is disposed on the rear seat, and the storage compartment is slidably fitted to the stay and held detachably on the stay.

According to the first aspect, from the rear end of the stay installed so as to extend rearward from the left and right sides of the seat in parallel with each other,
By fitting the fitting part provided on the storage side and sliding it forward, the storage can be attached and detached, and the operation of attaching and detaching the storage can be done easily. Since it is detachably supported, the position in the front-rear direction where the storage case is arranged on the rear seat can be adjusted. The container can be arbitrarily selected from a container having a large capacity that is long in the front-rear direction, a container having a small capacity having a smaller front-rear dimension, and a container having a combination of large and small containers.

In this case 40, the support pins 27, 27 are arranged in a closed space that can be protected by the lock mechanism 24, so that theft is prevented, and the case 40 is not exposed because the support pins 27, 27 are not exposed. Has a good appearance.

According to the first aspect, the stay only has to extend rearward from the left and right sides of the seat parallel to each other when viewed from above.
The stay may be attached to the seat as in the embodiment, or may be separated from the seat by being attached to an object other than the seat such as a seat rail. When mounting on a seat rail, the stay may be slightly lower than the seat lower surface. Therefore, the stay level is
If the handleability of the passenger is not impaired, the seat can be freely selected in a range from substantially the center of the sheet thickness to slightly below the lower surface of the sheet, and the stay level is arbitrary.

[0030]

According to the present invention, the following effects are exhibited by the above configuration. According to claim 1, the tandem type motorcycle is installed so as to extend rearward from the left and right sides of the seat in parallel with each other, the storage compartment is disposed on the rear seat of the seat, and the storage compartment disposed on the rear seat is provided to the stay. Slidably fitted and held detachably with respect to the stay.First, the container is slid on the stay to position, fix and hold, and a support hole is provided on the stay side. On the other hand, by providing a support pin or the like on the storage side, the storage can be arranged and held at an arbitrary position in the rear seat.

Therefore, unlike the conventional case where the case is arranged and held at the rear portion of the seat, the position of the case in the front-back direction is not uniquely fixed, and the occupant is not fixed in the front-back direction of the seat. It is possible to adjust and arrange the storage box at an optimum position that is easy to drive according to the preference. In addition, the loading platform is composed of stays, and the left and right sides of the loading compartment are slidably fitted in the front-rear direction and made detachable, so that the loading can be mounted by guiding the sliding with the stay and sliding. Thus, the attachment / detachment of the baggage to / from the loading platform is greatly facilitated as compared with the belt binding or the like, and the attachment / detachment work can be performed quickly.

Also, since the container is slidably fitted to and detachable from the stay constituting the loading platform, the container can be made of a rigid body, unlike the belt-tethered type, and the positioning and support of the container can be achieved. Because it is held steadily, it can be done firmly and reliably. Further, since the rear seat of the tandem type seat is used, for example, it is possible to simultaneously mount two different storage compartments having different large and small capacities, or to select one of them, if necessary. Also, depending on the driver's preference or the number of occupants, it is possible to mount a large or small container at an arbitrary position, and in addition to the above, the variation of the arrangement of the container is expanded.
