Leg shield structure of motorbike

Abstract

A structure of a leg shield which is attached to the body frame front portion of a motorbike for protecting the leg portion of a rider on a seat. On a body frame (F), there is fixed a main pipe side cover (22) which covers the main pipe (2) and to which is attached a leg shield (Ls). This leg shield (Ls) is formed in a hollow shape by fixing an inner shield (21) on the open inner side face of a leg shield body (20), which is formed to have a V-shaped transverse section by a front wall portion (20a) and a rear wall portion (20b). The structure gives the leg shield a stereoscopic appearance to improve a design effect, enhances the rigidity of the leg shield, facilitates painting of the leg shield and improves the appearance of the attached state of the leg shield to the body frame. Moreover, the leg shield (Ls) can keep its good appearance, even when it is detached from the main pipe side cover (22) when using the motorbike.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a structure of a leg cover mounted on both sides of the front portion of a body frame of a motorcycle to cover the legs of an occupant sitting on a seat. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in portable motorcycles, etc., in order to prevent the legs of the running occupant from being directly exposed to rain or wind, leg covers covering the occupant's legs are installed on both sides of the front of the body frame. (Refer to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-16851). [0003] However, the existing leg covers are made of plate members such as synthetic resin plates and metal plates. In order to maintain the desired strength and accurately correspond to the mounting parts of the body frame, etc., they are required by their functions. There is no doubt that the leg cover itself should be designed into a complex shape, so it is better to be restricted by the shape of the appearance. In fact, it is impos...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the existing leg covers are made of plate members such as synthetic resin plates and metal plates. In order to maintain the desired strength and accurately correspond to the mounting parts of the body frame, etc., they are required by their functions. There is no doubt that the leg cover itself should be designed into a complex shape, so it is better to be restricted by the shape of the appearance. In fact, it is impossible to give sufficient consideration to the beautiful appearance shape with the appearance design, and it is difficult to design the desired shape. the appearance of the problem

In addition, due to the complex shape, it becomes difficult to paint, especially, this tendency becomes larger on the back of the leg cover opposite to the occupant (in the above-mentioned known technology, deep into the V-shape), resulting in high cost and further Causes of low quality and other issues

[0004] In addition, such a motorcycle may be used after detaching the leg covers depending on the region or season. When the leg cover is removed, there is a gap in the body of the motorcycle, and the inside can be seen through the gap, and other problems such as making the appearance bad
