Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a front lighting device for a vehicle having a bar handle, such as a motorcycle.

(Prior Art) The present applicant has previously proposed front lighting equipment in which a headlight and left and right turn signal lights are integrally provided in a horizontally elongated manner on the top of a leg shield, front cover, etc. provided on the front of a motorcycle, etc.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) By the way, the lower part of the front cover etc. also serves as a front fender, is long in the vertical direction, is approximately coaxial with the width of the vehicle, and in some cases is integral with a part of the step part. The front cover has a large external dimension, and when the above-mentioned lighting equipment is attached to such a front cover to form a unit, it is not necessarily the best in terms of workability, and it is difficult to replace bulbs and perform other maintenance. Lighting equipment is attached to the front cover, etc., so it may be necessary to remove it.
Considering that it is not necessarily the best in terms of workability, and that the structure of the front cover is complicated and large, there is a risk that the molding of the cover will be troublesome and complicated, and the cost will increase. There is room to do so.

On the other hand, a handle cover is provided in front of the handle over approximately the entire length in the lateral direction, and extends to the front of the grip part to provide a windshield for the hand and to straighten the air. If it is fitted, there is a risk of it flapping due to wind pressure, etc., and if you try to increase the strength and rigidity, the plate thickness will increase, and there is also a risk that the size of the stay for attaching it to the handle will increase.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and its purpose is to construct a handle front cover with lamps, and to reinforce the frame by holding the lamps, which is advantageous in terms of strength. It is an object of the present invention to provide a front lighting device for a motorcycle, etc., which has advantages such as improved ease of assembly and maintenance.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems and achieve the objectives, the present invention has a horizontally long handle front cover in front of the bar handle provided on the front part of the vehicle body, a central headlight, In vehicles such as motorcycles that are equipped with left and right direction indicator lights, the upper and lower and left and right end frames that have horizontal openings that pass through the handle front cover in the front and back are formed by an integrated frame, and this frame is used as a bar. The present invention is characterized in that it is mounted and supported on the handle, a headlight is disposed in the center of the horizontally elongated opening, direction indicators are disposed on the left and right sides, and the direction indicators are attached and supported on the frame.

A partition piece 19b in between,
19b will be exposed. Therefore, decorative covers 31, 31 having a width that covers the gap between them are prepared, and the cover 31 has a locking piece 31a having approximately the same vertical dimension as the partition piece 19b and having a claw 31b at the tip at the upper end.
Also, a mounting hole 31c is provided at the bottom. cover 31,3
1 between units 20, 24, 20, and
1b is inserted into the locking hole 19j at the top of the partition 19b, thereby the top of the cover 31 is locked to the partition 19b, and on the other hand, screwed from the mounting hole 31c to the mounting hole 19i of the partition 19b, thus The decorative covers 31, 31 are attached to the cover 19 while attaching the partition piece 19b.

The above assembled state is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. The center part of the handle pipe is covered with an upper cover 33 having a meter unit etc., and the lower part is covered with a lower cover 34. In the figure, 35 covers the lower part of the wind screen 18. It is a surrounding mall.

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the above, according to the present invention, a handle front cover is provided integrally with the front handle in the form of an oblong frame, and the headlight and turn signal light units are housed in this horizontally in the left and right direction. Since they are arranged side by side, the light fixtures constitute the handle front cover, which is advantageous in terms of wind rectification and wind prevention such as the handle grip.The handle front cover is also reinforced with the assembled light fixtures, and the handle front cover is It is possible to improve the strength and rigidity when attached, and the strength and rigidity after assembly, and since this is achieved with lighting equipment, there is no need for a separate reinforcing member, and the handle cover has a simple structure and molding, making it lightweight. It has many advantages, such as being able to easily plan lighting fixtures, being easy to assemble, and being advantageous in terms of maintenance.

In the embodiment, a motorcycle is used, but the present invention can also be applied to a tricycle having one steering wheel in the front.
