Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a rough terrain vehicle G having two driving rear wheels with wide, ultra-low pressure tires and at least one steering front wheel. It is.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, there have been three or four-wheeled rough terrain vehicles equipped with wide ultra-low pressure tires (so-called balloon tires) and equipped with a straddle-type seat that is long in the front-rear direction.

In this type of vehicle, the driver places his shoes on the left and right footrests and changes his driving position depending on the road surface conditions.

This is because in conventional vehicles, the footrest was made in the shape of a rod.

Depending on the driving position, the shoes may not hold well and the feet may become unstable. For example, if you lean your upper body forward strongly, only the front part of the sole of your shoe will rest on the footrest, and if you put your weight on your feet with cotton like this, your weight will be supported only by the tip of the sole of your foot, which will result in 9 pairs of shoes being placed on the footrest. It was easy to feel anxious.

Furthermore, when a foot-operated brake pedal or a shift pedal 2 is provided, it is necessary to ensure that the operability of these pedals is not limited.

(Purpose of the Invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is designed to maintain good shoe retention at all times even when the driving position changes, and to reduce the operability even when there are a number of pedals. The purpose is to provide a vehicle for running on rough terrain without fear.

(Structure of the Invention) To achieve this object, the present invention comprises a pair of left and right driving rear wheels with nine wide ultra-low pressure tires, at least one steering front wheel, and one steering wheel.
With a straddle-type seat that is long in the front and back direction.

In a rough terrain vehicle equipped with a pair of left and right footrests located between the front and rear wheels, the footrests have a width of 8 to 8 in the front-rear direction.
The length was set to 20 cm. In other words, the front and back width of the footrest is determined so that it is about 10% to the width of the sole of the driver's shoe.

(Example) The present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side view of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view thereof. In these figures, reference numeral 10 (10a, 10b)
is the steering front wheel, 12 (12a.

12b) is the driving rear wheel, and these front and rear wheels l0112
Wide, ultra-low-pressure tires are mounted on land. 14 is a Reta engine mounted near the front wheel between the front and rear wheels 10.12,
16 is the front fender, 20 is the rear fender, and 22 is a straddle-type seat that is long in the front-rear direction.・It is installed so that it extends to the center between the rear wheels 10 and 12.

Reference numerals 24 and 26 are a pair of left and right footrests, and each footrest 24.26 is a pair of left and right footrests.
Reference numerals 26 denote two footrest rods 24a, 24b and 26a, 26'b that protrude toward the sides of the vehicle body at appropriate intervals in the longitudinal direction.
Equipped with Each footrest 24, 26 has a width A in the front-rear direction of 8 to 20 crn. In other words, a normal driver's shoes are about 24 to 3 Qcm, and % to % of that.
The width A is determined by the length of . Note that in this example, after
The footrest rods 24b, 26b are fixed so as to be slightly higher than the previous footrests 24a, 26a. 2 in Figure 2
8 is a brake pedal.

In this embodiment, the driver rides the vehicle as shown by the phantom line in FIG. 1, and his two feet are placed on the footrest 24 as shown by the phantom line in FIG.
I will post it on 26. During normal driving, the front and rear footrest rods 24a,
The sole of the shoe is placed so as to straddle 24b, 26a, and 26b (imaginary line B position).

The shoes are held securely and the stability of one pair is good. When operating the brake pedal 28 or the speed change pedal (not shown), all the shoes need to be moved slightly forward (imaginary line C position), and sweeping can be performed in the same manner as in conventional vehicles. In addition, when riding with a strong forward leaning posture by moving the buttocks further back, place one foot on the rear footrest 24.
b, 26b&kkake (imaginary line Dj standing position).In this case, the footrests 24b, 26b behind G are sufficiently placed above the shoes G, so the stability of the 9 pairs is good. In particular, in this embodiment, the rear foot rest bars 2, 1, and 26b are made a little higher, so that the tip of the shoe can be lowered a little at positions B and C in Figure 2, making it more comfortable without putting any strain on the ankle. The rider can take a riding position, and the operability of the pedals is not hindered. Also, when you place your feet in the second position, the sheaths bite strongly into only the rear footrest rods 24b and 26b, ensuring that the shoes are held securely.
Rub.

FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the vicinity of the left footrest 24A of another embodiment, and in this embodiment, the front footrest 2' 4
．． A A can be folded backwards, backwards upwards, or upwards. Therefore, even if the footrest 24A hits an obstacle, the footrest 24A will not be damaged. In addition, the rear footrest rod 2
Of course, 4Ab may also be of a foldable type.

FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the vicinity of the left footrest 24B of still another embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line v--v. In this embodiment, the upper end of the footrest 24B is a curved line E that is convex upward as shown in FIG.
It is located along the Therefore, even when the shoes are shifted back and forth, the shoes can be held securely without putting any strain on the ankles.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention reduces the width of the left and right footrests in the front-rear direction by 1.
8-20, which is 4-% of the length of a normal driver's shoes
Since I set it to cm, the foot rest is enough to cover the soles of my shoes even when I ride with 9 feet shifted back and forth.

Shoes are held securely and stably. Also, there is enough space in front of the footrest for pedal operation.

The operability of pedals does not deteriorate. Furthermore, footrests do not allow the entire sole of the shoe to touch.

The footrest has the effect of being able to bite firmly into the sole of the shoe to prevent the shoe from slipping on the footrest.
