Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to an improvement in the mounting structure of a tool box for a motorcycle.

[Prior art]

In recent years, with stricter noise regulations, improved engine output, and maintenance-free maintenance of various auxiliary devices, air cleaner cases have become larger and the number of electrical components has increased, making it easier to decide where to store motorcycle tool boxes. As tools become smaller and need to be stored in a limited space, many tools are not easy to put in and take out. That is, an air cleaner is arranged in an inverted triangular space formed by the rear part of the engine, the lower part of the seat, and the front part of the rear wheel of a motorcycle, and a tool box and a blow-by gas reduction device are provided at the bottom of this air cleaner case. The box is attached to the front and back of the vehicle.
At the rear of this tool box are the subtubes of the frame body and the rear fender, and furthermore, there is a cross pipe at the front, so the tool box has no choice but to be placed in the front and back in the longitudinal direction. If you open the front side (longitudinal direction) of the tool box to take out tools, the opening becomes large, which can lead to water and mud entering the tool box, reducing strength, and increasing the size of the mold during molding. There was a risk of connection.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention has been devised in view of the above points, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a tool box for a motorcycle in which tools can be easily put in and taken out, even if the space for placing the tool box is small.

[Configuration of the invention]

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, a rectangular tool box in which the mating surface of the main body and the cap is provided in the width direction is surrounded by the rear part of the engine, the lower part of the seat, and the front part of the rear wheel of a motorcycle. It is characterized in that it is disposed inward from the side surface of the vehicle body with its longitudinal direction in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, and the cap side is pivotably supported so as to project outward from the side surface of the vehicle body.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

An air cleaner 2 and a battery 3 are installed in an inverted triangular space of a frame body 1 that is surrounded by the rear of the engine, the lower part of the seat, and the front of the rear wheel of a motorcycle.
and a tool box 4 are arranged. The tool box 4 has a rectangular shape in which a mating surface 7 between a main body 5 and a cap 6 is provided in the width direction, and the tool outlet of the main body 5 is opened by moving the cap 6 in the longitudinal direction. By engaging the locking part 6a of the cap 6 with the protrusion 5a formed on the side edge of the opening of the main body 5,
A cap 6 is attached to the main body 5. The tool box 4 is placed inward from the side of the vehicle body under the battery support 8 fixed to the frame 1 with its longitudinal direction facing the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, and is inserted into a bracket 9 fixed to the lower surface of the battery support 8. The main body 5 of the tool box 4 is rotatably supported on the bolt shaft 10, which is fastened with a nut 11, and the bracket 9 is connected to an arcuate guide 5b formed on the upper surface near the opening of the main body 4. When the tool box 4 is engaged with the formed arcuate guide 9a and the tool box 4 is rotated about the bolt shaft 10, the cap 6 side is supported so as to protrude outward from the side surface of the vehicle body.

Further, a cylinder lock 12 is attached to an arm portion 6b formed at the tip of the cap 6, and is keyed to a locking portion 8a of the battery support 8, so that the tool box 4 is normally attached so as not to rotate. There is.

Therefore, when tools are needed, this tool box 4 can be easily removed by removing the cylinder lock 12, rotating the tool box 4 to project the cap 6 outward from the side of the vehicle body, and removing the cap 6 from the main body 5. Tools can be put in and taken out.

The present invention has been described with reference to the case where the air cleaner 2 is installed below the inverted triangular space of the frame body 1 formed by the rear part of the engine, the lower part of the seat, and the front part of the rear wheel of a motorcycle. In addition to being applicable even when the tool box is placed in the same position, a similar tool box can also be attached to a tricycle.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, the present invention allows the tool box to be rotated within the space surrounded by the frame body so that the longitudinal direction is in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body and inward from the side surface of the vehicle body, and the tool box cap side protrudes outward from the side surface of the vehicle body. Since it is pivoted, tools can be easily put in and taken out even if the space where the tool box is installed is small.Furthermore, since the mating surface between the main body and the cap is set in the width direction, the opening becomes smaller and it is easier to put tools in and out of the tool box. There is less intrusion of mud, etc., and strength can be improved.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

Fig. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment in which the tool box of the present invention is installed in an inverted triangular space of a frame body formed by the rear part of the engine, the lower part of the seat, and the front part of the rear wheel of a motorcycle; The figure is also a plan view. 1 is a frame body, 2 is an air cleaner, 3 is a battery, 4 is a tool box, 5 is a main body, 6 is a cap, and 8 is a battery support.
