DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a main stand of a foldable scooter type vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a main stand of a conventional scooter type vehicle is generally disposed close to a sideboard of a vehicle body behind a footboard formed between front and rear wheels of the vehicle. Met.

[0003]

However, the main stand of a scooter type vehicle of this type must stand on the side of the vehicle when stopping the main stand and perform an operation for stopping the main stand. Therefore, a space for operation is required in addition to the parking space, and there is a problem that the main stand cannot be set up in a narrow place, or that the vehicle is inclined so that it is difficult to get on and off the vehicle and to enter and exit the parking space. . The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to easily stop a main stand in a narrow space such as a bicycle parking lot. An object of the present invention is to provide a main stand of a scooter-type vehicle that can be operated while straddling a seat.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the main stand of the scooter type vehicle according to the present invention comprises
A flat footrest surface is formed between the wheels and below the front of the seat.
The footboard and the footboard
Scooter-type vehicle with a rear cover that covers the upper part of the wheel
A shaft extending in a vehicle width direction below the footrest surface
The main stand is pivotally attached to the vehicle body via the
Position the leg to the point of use and the leg
Swingable between the storage position that folds under the board
And arrange the main stand in front of the seat
Along with the foot near the lower end of the leg of the main stand
Hing the bar, and in the main stand storage position,
The foot bar rotates at the side edge of the foot board,
Fall down on the foot resting surface side and insert it into the groove formed on the foot resting surface.
When the main stand is upright
The foot bar is inserted upwardly from the state where it is inserted into the groove.
Rotate to stand on the side edge of the footboard,
That you can step down with your foot
It is characterized by.

[0005]

The function of the scooter-type vehicle constructed as described above
In the stand, the driver straddles the vehicle seat
The footbath stored in the groove on the footboat surface
Upright with your feet, and then the driver
While holding the front wheel, lift the front wheel and
As you step down with your foot, the main stand
Toward the ground, and finally reach the grounding state.
The vehicle body is supported by the main stand against the ground
Then, it stops. When traveling,
While the trocar straddles the vehicle seat and pushes the vehicle forward
When the foot bar is rotated backward (counterclockwise in FIG. 3),
The main stand is on the bottom of the footboard
It is stored, and in that state the foot bar is
If you fold it with your feet, the footbar will rotate around the side edges of the footboard.
It moves and is stored in the groove on the footboard surface.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic overall structural view showing a use state of a main stand of a scooter type vehicle. In FIG. 1, a scooter type vehicle 1 has a large size having a handle 2 provided at a high position in front and a seat 3 at a low position. , The wheel base is relatively large, and the seat 3 is formed for two-seater use. Between the front wheel 4 and the rear wheel 5, a foot board 6 and a rear cover 7 connected to the front board 4 and extending upward and rearward to cover the upper portion of the rear wheel 5 are formed at both ends.

A pair of left and right down tubes 10 is mounted on a U-shaped mounting plate 9 mounted on a steering shaft mounting member 8 at the front of the vehicle body.
On the front side, a front inclined portion 10 ₁ inclined downward is formed, and at the lower end thereof, a substantially horizontal intermediate parallel portion 10 _{2 is formed.}
To be, then, the rear constitute a body frame consisting of side inclined section ₁₀₃ after extending upwardly inclined. And cross pipe 11 is disposed at a distance between the pair of left and right down tubes 10, a pair of upper frame to the upper portion between the front inclined portion 10 ₁ and the rear inclined portion 10 ₃ of the down tube 10 12 Is provided. Between the intermediate parallel portion 10 ₃ of the left and right sides of the down tube 10 is disposed a fuel tank 13, at the back, a crank chamber,
Engine 14 consisting of a combustion chamber or the like has a support structure that is mounted via a bracket (not numbered) between the rear-side inclined portion 10 ₃ and the underbody after the down tube 10. A storage box 15 is provided above the steering shaft mounting member 8, so that a helmet or the like can be stored therein. A steering rod (not shown) is attached to the steering shaft attachment member 8, extends along a side area of the storage box 15, and the handle 2 is attached to a tip end thereof.

[0008] The portions constituting the footboard 6 of the lower end of the front inclined portion 10 ₁ of the down tube 10 foot rest surface 6 ₁
The lower side of the rotatably attached to the shaft portion 16 ₁ of the main stand 16 across the width direction of the vehicle body, the leg portion 16 of the main stand 16 in the folded state on the lower surface of the footboard 6 ₂ hinge There have been bent rearward in a direction substantially perpendicular to the side edge of the foot board 6 and curved at the lower end near the leg 16 ₂ to the side of the foot board 6 Futoba 16 ₃ its end 17 are stopped. Part Futoba 16 ₃ is adapted to be erected obliquely upward, it is inserted folded into the groove 18 formed on the foot rest surface 6 at the time of storage of the main stand 16, forming a footboard 6 flush It has become. A holding spring 19 is mounted between the side of the main stand 16 and the vehicle body.
Is biased to the housing during its legs 16 ₂ in a direction to fold the lower surface of the foot board 6, at the time of stop standing operation of the main stand 16, until beyond the line of the neutral axis A-A'in Fig leg 16 ₂ force to return the lower surface side of the footboard 6 works, but the ground when rotating the leg 16 ₂ to a position beyond the neutral axis a-A'line, front, i.e., the leg 16 ₂ The force for turning in the direction is larger than the force for returning, and the device is turned in that direction.

Therefore, when the vehicle is parked, the driver holds the foot bar 16 ₃ while straddling the seat 3 of the vehicle.
Was standing, while holding the handle 2, the'll depressing and pushed forward downward Futoba 16 ₃ feet so as to lift the front wheels 4, the legs 16 of the main stand 16
_2. When the vehicle reaches a position beyond the neutral axis AA ', it naturally turns forward and downward to touch the ground, and the main stand 1
No. 6 is in a state of stopping on the ground. Conversely, when entering a running state, the driver straddles the seat 3 of the vehicle, while holding the vehicle in front, kicking with legs Futoba 16 ₃ rearwardly, the legs 16 ₂ of the main stand 16 backward (counter is rotated clockwise), the leg 16 ₂ comes to the position of the folding side beyond the position of the neutral axis a-A'line, housed in the lower surface of the footboard 6 rotates naturally in that direction You. In this state, defeating at foot Futoba 16 ₃ in the standing state to the foot rest surface ₆₁ side of the foot board 6, the main stand is ready for being accommodated travel as shown in Figure 3.

[0010] The main stand 16 is provided near the lower end of the front inclined portion 10 ₁ of the down tube 10, but if the seat 2 forward Atari, can be the operation as described above of course Yes, and therefore the mounting position can be changed as long as the operation and effect are not changed.

Also, a safety switch is provided to prevent the engine 14 from being started accidentally and suddenly starting during the stop operation of the main stand 16 or during the stop release, or the brake is automatically applied to the rear wheel 5. It is natural that it is designed in such a way. Further, in the conventional scooter type vehicle, the main stand of the type in which the legs are folded rearward has a neutral axis oriented substantially vertically, but the neutral axis A-A 'is designed to have an acute angle of inclination. As a result, sudden jumping when the main stand is folded can be prevented. Note that reference numeral 2
0 indicates a vaporizer and 21 indicates a shock absorber.
