This makes it possible to suppress vibrations generated in the wind screen due to wind pressure to a small level without interfering with the movement of the wind screen up and down.

(C Prior Art) (C-1 General Background) Ridable vehicles, for example, two-wheeled vehicles, are sometimes equipped with a windscreen for the purpose of rectifying the wind that the vehicle body receives while driving or as a windshield for the occupants. be.

The form of this windscreen varies depending on the size of the two-wheeled vehicle etc. on which it is installed and the main purpose for which it is installed, but in general, in order to give this windscreen a rectifying function, it is Posture leaning backwards, i.e.
It is provided so as to be displaced rearward toward the upper end, and is curved at a predetermined curvature in the vertical and horizontal directions.

By the way, this kind of windscreen is
It is desirable to be able to adjust the height relative to the vehicle body depending on the height of the occupants and the required field of view, and it is also possible to make such adjustments with conventional windscreens. There is something that has been made possible.

(C-2 An example of a conventional windscreen elevating device) [Fig. 13] As an example of a device in which the height of the windscreen is adjusted by moving a predetermined moving body, for example, There is one described in Publication No. 60-8176, and FIG. 13 shows an outline of its configuration.

In the figure, reference numeral a denotes a cowling that is arranged to surround the front end of the vehicle body from the front side and both left and right sides, and its upper end extends to a position slightly higher than a handle (not shown).

A headlamp b is arranged so as to face forward through a hole formed in the approximate center of the cowling a.

C and c' are guide pieces provided at both left and right ends of the upper end of the cowling a, and the guide pieces c and c' are bent to form a substantially L shape when viewed from above;
Therefore, these guide pieces c, c' and both left and right ends of the cowling a form substantially U-shaped guide parts d, d' that open inwardly.

Denoted by e is a windscreen made of transparent synthetic resin, and the lower end portions of the portions along both left and right edges are slidably engaged with the guide portions d and d', thereby It is supported by the cowling a in a state where it can move substantially in the vertical direction.

Rack f and f' are located approximately at the center of the upper end of the cowling a in the left-right direction, and the racks f and f' are made of a flexible material.

Although not shown, the cowling a
At the upper end, there are two guide members each having a substantially L-shape, including an upper part extending in the vertical direction and a lower part bent at a substantially right angle from the lower end of the upper part. The racks f and f' are slidably supported by these guide members (not shown), and
At the lower part of the guide member, the teeth face each other, and at the upper part of the guide member, the teeth are twisted halfway so that they face forward.

Reference characters g and g' are connecting members attached to the front surface of the windscreen e, and the upper ends of the racks f and f' are fixed to the connecting members g and g'.

h is an operating shaft that passes through the upper end of the cowling a in the front-rear direction and is rotatably supported by a support member (not shown);
A pinion gear i that meshes with the lower part of the racks f and f' is fixed to a portion protruding forward from the rack, and
A grip (not shown) is fixed to a portion projecting rearward from the cowling a.

Thus, the height of the windscreen e is adjusted by rotating the operating shaft h.
That is, when the operating shaft h is rotated clockwise,
As the pinion gear i is rotated clockwise, the racks f and f' are moved in the direction shown by the solid arrows, thereby moving the connecting members g and g' upward, so that the windscreen e is moved upward. will be moved to. Further, when the operating shaft h is rotated counterclockwise, the pinion gear i is rotated counterclockwise, so that the racks f and f' are moved in the direction shown by the broken line arrow, and the windscreen e is thereby moved. will move downward.

(D. Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, with such a windscreen lifting device, there is a problem that considerable vibration is generated in the windscreen due to the wind pressure that the windscreen receives when driving. .

That is, the left and right sides of the windscreen e are connected to the left and right ends of the front surface of the cowling a, and the engaging pieces c,
It is supported by the guide parts d and d' by being sandwiched from the front and back by the cowling a and the opposing part of c', and the wind screen e slides in this supported part. Some clearance is required between the guide portions d, d' and the windscreen e so that the windscreen e can be moved freely.

Therefore, when the automobile is driven, the windscreen e experiences considerable vibration in the longitudinal direction due to the wind pressure it receives.

Therefore, in order to reduce such vibrations as much as possible, the wind screen e, the guide part d,
It is conceivable to reduce the clearance between the windscreen e and the guide parts d and d' as much as possible, but if this is done, the sliding resistance between the windscreen e and the guide parts d and d' will increase, so the windscreen e must be moved. In addition to considering that an extremely strong force is required to move the windscreen, another problem arises, such as the fact that the movement is not smooth. Since it is impossible to reduce to zero, the above-mentioned vibration will occur to some extent.

(E. Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the elevating device for a windscreen for a riding type automobile of the present invention has a substantially pipe-like structure extending along a predetermined direction at the front end of the main body. A guide member is provided, and a sliding member having rubber elasticity is supported on the guide member in a movable manner and without play in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction, and a part of the wind screen is moved in the sliding direction. It is connected to a member.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the windscreen has no play in the direction in which it receives wind pressure with respect to the guide member that guides the direction of movement of the windscreen.
In addition, since it is supported in a slidable manner, it does not vibrate even when subjected to wind pressure while traveling, and can be smoothly moved in a predetermined direction.

They will be located at approximately the same height.

(l. Control of windscreen vibration, etc.) Therefore, the left and right sides of the windscreen 43 can be slid freely in the first guides 22, 22' without any play in the direction perpendicular to the sliding direction. Since the wind screen 43 is supported by the first guides 22, 22' via the supported sliding bodies 58, 58 and 58', 58', the wind screen 43 is positioned approximately in the front and rear directions with respect to the first guides 22, 22'. It will be supported without any play in the direction.

Therefore, even if the windscreen 43 is subjected to wind pressure while driving, at least the guide 22,
Since the portion supported by 22' does not wobble, the vibration can be reduced.
Even if vibration occurs in the windscreen 43, the windscreen 43 is
2' are connected via sliding bodies 58, 58 and 58', 58' having rubber elasticity, that is, members made of a material with high vibration absorption, so that the vibrations are rarely transmitted to the vehicle body 1 side. .

(m Lifting/lowering operation) In the windscreen lifting/lowering device described above, the sprocket wheels 42, 4
2' rotates, the drive cable 2 rotates accordingly.
9, 29' are moved along the guides 21, 21', thereby causing the windscreen 43 to be moved along the direction in which the first guides 22, 22' extend.

The clean 43 will be moved in the above direction.

That is, in FIG. 1, when the sprocket wheels 42, 42' are rotated clockwise, the drive cables 29, 29' are moved in the direction indicated by the solid arrow. Therefore, the drive cables 29, 29'
is linearly moved upward and diagonally rearward within the first guides 22, 22', so that the screen support plate 46 connected to the drive cables 29, 29' is moved in the above direction. Also, the first guides 22, 22'
The sliding bodies 58, 58 and 5 are slidably provided on the
8' and 58' will also be moved in the above direction.
This causes the windscreen 43 to be moved in the aforementioned direction.

Incidentally, the wind screen 43 can be moved to the above-mentioned upper limit position.

Also, when the sprocket wheels 42, 42' rotate counterclockwise, the drive cables 29,
29' is moved in the direction indicated by the dashed arrow. Therefore, the drive cables 29, 29' are connected to the first guide 2
2 and 22', the screen support plate 46 is moved in the above direction, and the sliding bodies 58, 58, 58', and 58' are also moved in a straight line in a downward and obliquely forward direction. The windscreen 43 will be moved in the same direction, thereby causing the windscreen 43 to be moved in the above direction.

By moving the windscreen 43 in this manner, the height of the windscreen 43 relative to the vehicle body 1 is adjusted.

(G. Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the above description, the elevating device for the windscreen for a riding type automobile of the present invention is arranged at the front end of the vehicle body, and at least its upper portion gradually moves rearward toward the upper end. A generally pipe-shaped guide member having an inclination for displacement; a sliding member having rubber elasticity supported by the guide member in a slidable manner and having no play in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction; The present invention is characterized in that it comprises a wind screen whose portion is connected to the sliding member, and a moving means for moving the wind screen.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the windscreen has no play in the direction in which it receives wind pressure with respect to the guide member that guides the direction of movement of the windscreen.
In addition, since it is supported in a slidable manner, vibrations do not occur even when wind pressure is applied during travel, and movement in a predetermined direction can be performed smoothly.

In the above-described embodiments, the wind screen and the sliding member are connected through the screen support plate, but the wind screen and the sliding member may be connected directly.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, a structure is shown in which the left and right sides of the windscreen are supported separately by two guide members, but in the present invention, the windscreen is supported by one guide member. Of course, it can also be applied to structures.
