DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lighting structure for a motorcycle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a motorcycle, a stand (center stand, sand stand) which is rotatably provided between a position stored in the vehicle body and a position projecting downward during parking is set up to support the vehicle body immovably. You can park in a stable manner.

[0003]

However, when a motorcycle is to be parked in a dark place at night, the stand is dark so that the operation part and the ground contact part of the stand are not clearly seen, and especially when the motorcycle is parked in a place that is not flat. When the vehicle is grounded, the balance may be lost and the vehicle may fall over, or the footrests of the stand may not be clearly seen, which may cause difficulty. The same can be said for other operation parts.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide an illumination light structure for a motorcycle in which a portion to be operated can be clearly seen even in a dark place and a reliable operation can be quickly performed. I do.

[0005]

The present invention as means for solving the problems of the prior art SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION are provided retractably illumination lamp which may be irradiated toward the lower portion of the automatic two-wheeled vehicle body to the body, during Shisabotsu into the body stored in the body outer surface substantially the same plane, the illuminating lamp structure for a motorcycle that is adapted to be illuminated when the drawer from the body, before
Storage section in the frame cover under the seat of the motorcycle
And the lighting lamp is mounted on a motorcycle.
It is provided above the stand . Claim 2
Turns on the illumination lamp when the engine is turned off.
It turns on when you hold the bar .

[0006]

When the vehicle is parked in a dark place at night, the lighting lamp is pulled out from the body and turned on. Thereby, the lower part of the body is illuminated, so that the location of the operation unit such as the stand and the grounding state can be clearly grasped, and it is possible to prevent falling due to incomplete grounding and troublesome operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side view showing the case where the present invention is applied to a scooter type motorcycle, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing the same. The motorcycle has a body frame 2 on which an engine 1 is mounted. A stand 3 (center stand) at a lower part of one side (operating side) of the vehicle body at a position immediately below a position where a stand 3 (central stand) is flipped upward around the shaft 4 (storage position) and a position where the stand 3 is raised and grounded as shown in FIG. It is provided so as to be rotatable so that it can be rotated by putting a foot on the footrest 3a. In the case of the center stand, the ground contact portion 3b at the lower end is located forward of the shaft 4 when touching the ground, and exceeds the expected point.
In addition, the rear wheel 5 floats and is parked.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 6 denotes a frame cover constituting the outer shape of the body.
However, a storage portion 9 for storing the helmet 8 and the like is formed in a lower portion thereof. Reference numeral 10 denotes a transmission case incorporating a transmission mechanism for transmitting power from the engine 1 to the rear wheel 5;
1 indicates a front wheel, 12 indicates a steering wheel, and 13 indicates a brake lever.

An illumination lamp 1 in which a light bulb is housed in a cover is provided on an upper frame cover 6 on the side where the stand 3 is located.
4 is provided so that it can appear and disappear. The illumination lamp 14 indicates the external expansion water plan sectional view in FIG. 3, as shown in the perspective view of the drawer state in FIG. 4, the side surface of the frame cover 6 constituting the outer surface of the body in this embodiment one A concave portion 15 is formed, the portion of which is depressed in a substantially isosceles triangular shape in a horizontal cross section. The vertex of the concave portion 15 is the rear side of the body, and a bearing portion 16 is formed at the vertex.

An illumination lamp 14 formed in this bearing 16 in a triangular prism shape similar to the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the recess 15.
When the illumination lamp 14 is retracted into the recessed portion 15, the outer surface 14a of the illumination lamp 14 becomes an outer surface of the frame cover 6 as shown by a solid line in FIG. And are formed so as to be substantially flush with each other.

At the opening edge of the recess 15 opposite to the bearing 16, a finger hook notch 18 for hanging a finger on the illumination lamp 14 and pulling it out is formed, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 3. 3 puts a finger on the stored illumination lamp 14
As shown in the dashed line diagram and FIG. 4, the frame cover 6 can be projected from the outer surface.

A lead wire 19 drawn from the illumination lamp 14 is wired along the inner surface of the frame cover 6,
It is connected to a power supply 20 (FIG. 5). This power supply circuit
As shown in an example in FIG.
A switch 21 that opens when the engine is on and closes when the engine is off and a switch 22 that closes when the brake lever 13 is depressed are provided in the circuit connecting the The illumination lamp 14 is turned on by grasping the button 13. Regarding this lighting, a switch may be turned on by an operation of pulling out the illumination lamp 14, and the lighting may be performed, or a switch operated manually may be provided.

Therefore, when the vehicle is parked in a dark place at night, the engine 1 is turned off, the finger is inserted through the finger hook notch 18 of the recess 15 and the illumination lamp 14 is pulled out. In the protruding state (the position shown by the dashed line in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4), if the brake lever 13 is depressed, the switch 22 of the power supply circuit is turned on to turn on the illumination lamp 14 and illuminate the lower part of the body. . As a result, the position of the footrest 3a of the stand 3 can be clearly understood, and the operation of standing the stand 3 can be easily performed. When the stand 3 is standing, the grounding state of the grounding portion 3b can be clearly understood, and the vehicle can be parked in a stable state. can do.

After the parking is completed, if the lighting lamp 14 is pushed in,
Since it is retracted and stored in substantially the same plane as the outer surface of the body, there is no obstruction.

FIGS. 6 and 7 illuminate not only the lower part of the body but also the position of the main key switch 24 provided on the leg shield cover 23 and the position of the key 26 of the center box 25 (storage). To get
This facilitates the operation of inserting these keys and facilitates the access of small items to and from the center box 25. The handle cover 27 of the motorcycle is used.
The illumination lamp 14 is provided at the lower surface position of the light source, and is wired using the same circuit as in FIG. 5 or simultaneously with the assembly of the speedometer 28 or the headlamp 29.

Therefore, the positions of the main key switch 24 and the key 26 of the center box 25 can be clearly understood by the irradiation of the illumination lamp 14, so that these operations can be easily performed and the small items in the center box 25 can be taken out. It is convenient.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the stand is set up in a dark place at night, the lower part of the body can be irradiated by pulling out and lighting the illumination lamp. The operation can be easily performed, and at the same time, the ground contact state of the stand can be easily confirmed, so that the inconvenience such as falling down can be solved. When the lighting lamp is not in use, it is retracted into the body so that it is placed in the same plane as the outer surface of the body, so that nothing else gets caught or obstructed and the lighting lamp is damaged In addition, there is an effect that the illumination lamp surface is prevented from being stained by the adhesion of mud or the like and the illuminance is reduced.
