Behind the seat 16 and above the rear wheel 12, a storage box 21 having a lateral width larger than the rear wheel 12 is provided.
Luggage can be stored in the storage space 23 in the storage box 21.

The container box 21 is composed of a bottom plate that constitutes the bottom thereof, and an upper member that is separate from the bottom plate and that is assembled so as to cover the upper bottom plate from above. this,
More specifically, the bottom plate of the storage box 21 is composed of the middle fender 15b, and the upper member of the storage box 21 is the rear part of the rear frame 9 located behind the seat 16 and the rear frame 9. The rear end plate 9a integrally extends downward from the rear end. The space surrounded by the middle fender 15b, the rear part of the rear frame 9 and the rear end 9a is the above-mentioned storage space 23.

In the above case, the container box 21 is composed of the bottom plate and the upper member which are separate bodies, for the following reason.

That is, if the above-mentioned container box 21 is to be integrally molded, it becomes difficult to perform die cutting for molding the container space 23, and the molding becomes complicated.

Therefore, as described above, the bottom plate and the upper member are formed separately, and if this is done, after the bottom plate and the upper member are individually molded, they can be assembled together to form the above-mentioned container. The box 21 will be easily molded.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 1, the bottom of the seat 16 is substantially level with the bottom of the container box 21.

The intermediate fender 15b is made of resin, and as described above,
It constitutes the bottom plate of the storage box 21, and the middle fender
A long bulging portion 24 is formed in the middle of the left and right of 15b before and after bulging toward the inside of the container space 23. By forming the bulging portion 24, a long recessed groove 24a is formed on the lower surface of the bulging portion 24 in the front-rear direction. This groove 24a
Is provided corresponding to the outer peripheral surface of the upper portion of the rear wheel 12, whereby the rear wheel 12 and the storage box 21 are prevented from buffering each other.

(Effects of the Invention) According to this invention, the following effects are obtained.

That is, firstly, since the object entrance / exit is formed in a part of the peripheral wall of the container box, when the luggage is taken in and out of the object compartment through the object entrance, as in the conventional case,
Since it is not necessary to lift the luggage above the storage box high, the work of loading and unloading the luggage becomes easier accordingly.

Further, since the article entrance / exit is formed on the peripheral wall of the container box, it is possible to prevent rainwater from easily entering the article space when the luggage is taken in and out in the rain. Further, when cleaning the storage space, the dust in the storage space can be swept to the side to be swept out through the material inlet / outlet port, so that the cleaning can be easily performed.

Secondly, since the article entrance and exit is inclined in a side view so as to open the article compartment in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body and obliquely upward, rather than simply providing the article entrance and exit substantially vertically. The opening area becomes large. Therefore, even if the height of the peripheral wall of the container box is low to some extent, it is possible to easily take in and out the luggage through the object entrance and exit.

Furthermore, thirdly, in order to avoid interference between the rear wheels and the storage box, in the case where a groove is formed on the lower surface of the bottom plate of the storage box, in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body, the storage space approaches the storage door. According to the above, since the groove is gradually shallowed,
The amount of protrusion of the bulging portion into the article storage space gradually decreases as it approaches the article inlet / outlet. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the article storage space in the vicinity of the article entrance / exit from being narrowed by the bulging portion, and it is possible to easily take in / out the luggage through the article entrance / exit.

Moreover, as described above, the protruding amount of the bulging portion gradually decreases as it approaches the object inlet / outlet, that is, the protruding amount of the bulging portion changes gently, so that the load is put in / out of the container space through the object inlet / outlet port. At this time, inconveniences such as this luggage being caught by the bulging portion are avoided. Therefore,
Even when the bulging portion is projected into the storage space for forming the groove, the work of loading and unloading the luggage can be easily performed.
