Brake cable support structure in saddle type vehicle

Abstract

The invention provides a brake cable support structure in saddle type vehicle; the brake cable is connected with a brake arm arranged on a drum brake of a rear wheel; a rear wheel shaft supports a rear end portion of a transmission housing of a swing type power unit; a middle portion, extending forwards from a lower direction of the power unit, of the brake cable is kept on a lower surface of the power unit; a main support supports the power unit in a mode in which the main support can rotate between a standup position and a containing position, so main support interference can be prevented, tilting angle can be ensued, and the middle portion of the brake cable can be supported by a simple and compact structure; a keeping portion (60) keeping the middle portion of the brake cable (48) is arranged on the lower surface of the power unit (P) in a mode in which the keeping portion is positioned above the main support (52A) in the containing position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a saddle-riding vehicle, in which a swing-type power unit having a crankcase and a transmission case is swingably supported on a vehicle frame, the transmission case is extended rearward from the crankcase, and a rear wheel shaft is supported. At the rear end of the transmission housing, a brake cable (brake cable) is connected to the brake arm of the drum brake provided on the rear wheel, and passes under the power unit from the brake arm The middle portion of the brake cable extending forward is held on the lower surface of the power unit, and the main bracket is supported by the power unit so as to be rotatable between an upright position and a storage position. The main bracket is a position where the main bracket is in a grounded state, and the storage position is a position where the main bracket is arranged along the lower surface of the power unit. In particular, the present invention relates to an improvement of ...

Problems solved by technology

However, when the brake cable is held by the clamp or the stay as disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, a structure is required for locking and positioning the clamp or the stay relative to the power unit so that Locking the brake cable in the desired direction or position easily leads to an increase in the size of the locking structure

In addition, in the case where the brake cable must be locked in such a way as to bend it, the rigidity of the clamp or stay must also be ensured, so there is a larger support structure including the clamp or stay. the possibility of

[0005] On the other hand, it is also conceivable to set the storage position of the main bracket at a lower position away from the lower surface of the power unit so that the brake cables, clamps or stays do not interfere with the main bracket, but in this case , the main stand in the stowed position is close to the ground, so it is difficult to ensure the minimum height above the ground, which makes it difficult to ensure the tilt angle
