[0053] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, unless otherwise specified, the directions of front, back, left, right, and up / down are the same as those relative to the vehicle body. Furthermore, in each figure, the reference numeral FR indicates the front of the vehicle body, the reference numeral UP indicates the top of the vehicle body, and the reference numeral LH indicates the left side of the vehicle body.

[0054] [Implementation Method]

[0055] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of a saddle-type vehicle 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, showing the saddle-type vehicle 1 viewed from the left front side of the vehicle body. The saddle-type vehicle 1 is a so-called pedal-type vehicle, in which the occupant sits in the seat with their feet on the floor.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, a front riser 62 (see reference) is provided at the front of the saddle-type vehicle 1, covering the surrounding area. Figure 7 The front cover (body cover) 10 has a front surface cover 11 made of resin facing forward and a rear surface cover 13 made of resin facing backward. A leg guard 14 extending downward is installed at the lower end of the rear surface cover 13. The leg guard 14 is made of resin and covers and protects the occupant's legs from the front.

[0057] A pair of left and right turn indicator lamp covers 12 are disposed on the front part of the front cover 11 facing forward. The turn indicator lamp covers 12 are formed of light-transmitting resin or the like, allowing light emitted from the turn indicator bulb 71 (described later) to pass through. Additionally, as... Figure 1 As shown, a front fender 15 is provided on the front side of the vehicle body of the front surface cover 11, covering the front wheel from above.

[0058] Figure 2 This is a perspective view of the rear surface cover 13, showing a portion of the left side of the rear surface cover 13 as viewed from the rear. Additionally, in Figure 2 The depiction of the front surface cover 11 is omitted.

[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, a storage section 30 capable of storing various items is provided inside the front cover 10. The storage section 30 includes: a storage section body 50 having an opening 51 that opens to the rear; and a cover 40 that serves as a cover for the storage section 30.

[0060] The main body 50 of the storage section is a container disposed inside the front cover 10, and is substantially entirely covered by the front cover 10. The main body 50 of the storage section is fastened to the rear cover 13 from the front using screws. Thus, the main body 50 of the storage section is fixed in such a position that the opening 51 substantially overlaps with the storage opening 13a, which is a generally trapezoidal opening that extends through the rear cover 13 from front to back.

[0061] Figure 3 This is an exploded 3D view of the storage section 30. (See diagram below.) Figure 3 As shown, the cover 40 consists of a plate-shaped cover body 41, a rubber gasket 42, and a cover-side storage member 43. The cover body 41 is the component located at the rearmost side of the cover 40. In the closed state, the cover body 41 closes the storage opening 13a and the opening 51 from the rear. The gasket 42 is a rubber component disposed along the edges of both sides and the top side of the cover body 41 in the vehicle width direction, filling the gap between the cover body 41 and the cover-side storage member 43 in the closed state. The cover-side storage member 43 is a container-shaped component that opens upwards. A flat plate-shaped fixing part 43a is formed at the rear end of the cover-side storage member 43, which is fixed to the cover body 41 from the front.

[0062] Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of the storage section 30, showing the storage section 30 cut in a section perpendicular to the rotation axis of the cover 40 when the cover 40 is in the open state. Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional view of the storage section 30, showing the storage section 30 cut along a section perpendicular to the rotation axis of the cover 40 when the cover 40 is in the closed state. Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the lower end 43b of the cover-side storage member 43 is mounted to the lower part of the storage unit body 50 in a manner that allows it to rotate approximately about the vehicle width direction, thereby connecting the cover 40 to the storage unit body 50. In the closed state, the cover 40 opens the opening 51 by rotating the upper end 41a of the cover body 41 in a direction that moves rearward. Therefore, when the cover 40 is open, the upper end 41a of the cover body 41, which is the upper end of the cover 40, is located behind the opening 51, allowing access to the inside of the storage unit body 50 from above the cover 40. Furthermore, in the open state, the cover 40 closes the opening 51 by rotating the upper end 41a of the cover body 41 in a direction that moves forward.

[0063] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cover-side storage component 43 has a terminal storage section 45 for storing the portable terminal P2 and an item placement platform 47 extending rearward from the rear end of the terminal storage section 45 to the fixing section 43a. Furthermore, in Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 The example shown is a portable terminal P2 of a second size housed in a terminal storage section 45, but sometimes a portable terminal P1 of a first size, described later, is housed in the terminal storage section 45. As described later, the size of the portable terminal P2 of the second size is larger than the size of the portable terminal P1 of the first size. In addition, both portable terminals P1 and P2 are mainly roughly rectangular, plate-shaped terminals such as smartphones.

[0064] The item placement platform 47 is a roughly horizontal, plate-like portion when the cover 40 is closed. Any item can be placed on the item placement platform 47. Hereinafter, the item placed on the item placement platform 47 will be referred to as item G1. Furthermore, there is no particular limitation on the type of item G1. Also, item G1 is not limited to a single item; multiple types of items can be mixed together.

[0065] The terminal storage section 45 is located at the front of the cover-side storage member 43 and is formed in a downward-facing recessed shape. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the cover-side storage component 43 has: a bottom portion 45a, which is located below the stored portable terminals P1 and P2 when the cover 40 is closed; and a front wall portion 45b, which is located in front of the portable terminals P1 and P2 when the cover 40 is closed. Furthermore, the bottom portion 45a and the item placement platform 47 are connected via a rear wall portion 45c, which is located behind the portable terminals P1 and P2 when the cover 40 is closed. The rear wall portion 45c is a plate-like portion extending obliquely rearward and upward from the bottom portion 45a, and its height is lower than the height of the upper edge 45b1 of the front wall portion 45b. Figure 4As shown, with the cover 40 open, portable terminals P1 and P2 enter and exit through the opening between the upper edge 45b1 of the front wall portion 45b and the upper end of the rear wall portion 45c in the terminal storage portion 45. Therefore, by making the rear wall portion 45c lower than the front wall portion 45b, the opening of the terminal storage portion 45 is widened, making it easier for portable terminals P1 and P2 to enter and exit. Furthermore, since the rear wall portion 45c is lower than the front wall portion 45b, Figure 5 When the cover 40 is closed, the height of the item placement platform 47 is lower, and the storage capacity of items such as G1 that can be placed on the item placement platform 47 is increased.

[0066] like Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the main body 50 of the storage section has a front storage section 53 located forward of the front wall section 45b. The front storage section 53 is located at the front end of the main body 50 and has a generally horizontal lower surface 53a at a position higher than the lower end of the bottom part 45a of the terminal storage section 45, i.e., the first mounting part 45a1 described later. The front storage section 53 holds items placed on the lower surface 53a within the space above the lower surface 53a, i.e., inside the item storage space S. Hereinafter, the item placed in the front storage section 53 will be referred to as item G2. Furthermore, the type of item G2 is not particularly limited. Additionally, item G2 is not limited to a single item; multiple types of items may be mixed together. Figure 5 As shown, the item G2 stored in the front storage section 53 is restricted from moving rearward by the front wall section 45b located at the rear. Additionally, as... Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, when the cover 40 is closed, the terminal storage section 45 can be maintained in a state where the portable terminals P1 and P2 extend along the height direction in the length direction between the front wall section 45b and the rear wall section 45c.

[0067] In particular, in this embodiment, Figure 5 When the cover 40 is in the closed state, the front wall portion 45b is located along the rear end of the lower surface 53a, and the upper edge 45b1 of the front wall portion 45b is located above the lower surface 53a. Therefore, the item G2 placed on the lower surface 53a is effectively prevented from moving backward by the front wall portion 45b.

[0068] Figure 6 yes Figure 5 The sectional view at section VI-VI shows the cross-section of the receiving part 30. Figure 6 The images show the shapes of a first-sized portable terminal P1 and a second-sized portable terminal P2, respectively, when stored in the terminal storage section 45. Additionally, in... Figure 6 In the figure, the shapes of both portable terminals P1 and P2 are depicted, but portable terminals P1 and P2 will not be stored in the terminal storage unit 45 at the same time, but only one of them will be kept.

[0069] like Figure 6 As shown, the terminal storage section 45 has an outer side 45d in the vehicle width direction and an inner side 45e in the vehicle width direction. Additionally, as... Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the bottom part 45a has a first mounting portion 45a1 located at the lower end of the bottom part 45a. In addition, the terminal storage portion 45 has a stepped portion 45a2 extending upward from the bottom part 45a and outward in the width direction (outward in the left-right direction).

[0070] The first mounting portion 45a1 is a roughly horizontal rectangular surface formed along the vehicle width direction, and has a width LW1 capable of mounting a portable terminal P1 of a predetermined first size. The width LW1 of the first mounting portion 45a1 in the vehicle width direction (refer to...) Figure 6 ) and the width LT1 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle (refer to Figure 5 The dimensions of the side portion P11 along the short side direction of the first-sized portable terminal P1 are respectively set to accommodate the first-sized portable terminal P1. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first-sized portable terminal P1 has a screen size of 6.7 inches diagonally, a width of 160.8 mm along the long side, a width of 78.1 mm along the short side, and a thickness of 7.65 mm. That is, in the first mounting portion 45a1 of this embodiment, the width LW1 is set to be greater than 78.1 mm, and the width LT1 is set to be greater than 7.65 mm. The portable terminal P1 mounted on the first mounting portion 45a1 is held in the terminal storage portion 45 with its long side facing up and down. Therefore, the portable terminal P1 held in the terminal storage portion 45 does not occupy a large space in the horizontal direction and is compactly stored in the storage portion 30. Furthermore, the portable terminal P1, held in the terminal storage section 45 in a vertical orientation along its length, separates the front storage section 53 from the item placement platform 47, thus suppressing the movement of items G1 and G2 respectively. The first placement section 45a1 can also hold portable terminals with a width of less than 78.1 mm in the short side direction (e.g., less than 6.7 inches diagonally).

[0071] In addition, such as Figure 6As shown, the upper corner P12 of the portable terminal P1 placed in the first mounting portion 45a1, on the outer side in the vehicle width direction, is located at the upper part of the side surface 55 on the outer side in the vehicle width direction of the storage portion body 50, i.e., the side edge 55a. The side edge 55a is the portion of the side surface 55 that slopes inward in the vehicle width direction as it extends upward from the height of the upper edge 45b1 of the front wall portion 45b of the terminal storage portion 45 on the cover 40 side. The side edge 55a is formed along the shape of the small front cover 10 in the vehicle width direction on the upper side. Therefore, the movement of the portable terminal P1 stored in the terminal storage portion 45 is restricted by the first mounting portion 45a1, the front wall portion 45b, the rear wall portion 45c, the sides 45d, 45e, and the side edge 55a of the side surface 55 on the outer side in the vehicle width direction of the storage portion body 50.

[0072] The stepped portion 45a2 is a generally rectangular surface that surrounds the first mounting portion 45a1 from both sides in the longitudinal and vehicle width directions at a position higher than the first mounting portion 45a1. Specifically, the stepped portion 45a2 extends above the first mounting portion 45a1, extending outward in the width direction (outer side in the left-right direction) along the width direction (vehicle width direction), and outward in the longitudinal direction of the first mounting portion 45a1 along the longitudinal direction. The stepped portion 45a2 includes: an inner stepped portion 45a3 formed at a position closer to the vehicle width direction than the first mounting portion 45a1; an outer stepped portion 45a4 formed at a position further outward in the vehicle width direction than the first mounting portion 45a1; and front and rear stepped portions 45a5 formed at positions further outward in the longitudinal direction than the first mounting portion 45a1. Furthermore, the stepped portion 45a2 is shaped to slope downwards along the inner side in the vehicle width direction. That is, the step portion 45a2 is formed such that the inner step portion 45a3, located inside in the vehicle width direction, is positioned below the outer step portion 45a4, located outside in the vehicle width direction. The width LT2 of the step portion 45a2 in the vehicle longitudinal direction (refer to...) Figure 5 ) and the width LW2 along the inclined direction (refer to Figure 6 The dimensions of the side portion P21 along the short side direction of a second-sized portable terminal P2 are respectively set to accommodate the second-sized portable terminal P2. That is, the stepped portion 45a2 can accommodate a second-sized portable terminal P2 that is larger than the first-sized one. Specifically, the second-sized portable terminal P2 has a screen size of 7.2 inches diagonally, a width of 174.6 mm along the long side, a width of 85.4 mm along the short side, and a thickness of 8.15 mm. In addition, the stepped portion 45a2 can accommodate a second-sized portable terminal P2 whose surface is substantially entirely covered by a cover with a thickness of 5 mm. That is, in the stepped portion 45a2 of this embodiment, the width LW2 is set to be greater than 95.4 mm, and the width LT2 is set to be greater than 18.15 mm.

[0073] The portable terminal P2 is held in place by placing the side portion P21 on the stepped portion 45a2. Therefore, the portable terminal P2 stored in the terminal storage portion 45 is held in a posture with the upper side located inside the vehicle width direction as the long side direction. Thus, the portable terminal P2 held in the terminal storage portion 45 does not occupy a large space in the horizontal direction and is compactly stored in the storage portion 30. In addition, the portable terminal P2, held in the terminal storage portion 45 in a vertical position, separates the front storage portion 53 from the item placement platform 47, thereby suppressing the movement of items G1 and G2 respectively.

[0074] In addition, such as Figure 6 As shown, the inner side 45e of the terminal storage section 45 in the vehicle width direction is inclined along the direction of the upper side located in the vehicle width direction, and intersects the stepped section 45a2 approximately perpendicularly. Therefore, the portable terminal P2 of the second size, which is placed on the stepped section 45a2, is held in a state of contact with the side 45e.

[0075] Furthermore, the upper corner P22 of the portable terminal P2, located on the outer side of the stepped portion 45a2 in the vehicle width direction, is positioned more inward in the vehicle width direction than the corner P12 of the portable terminal P1, located on the first mounting portion 45a1. Therefore, the corner P22 of the second-sized portable terminal P2, whose length dimension is larger than that of the first-sized portable terminal P1, does not interfere with the side edge 55a of the inclined storage body 50, and is positioned along the side edge 55a on the inner side of the storage body 50. Additionally, the upper surface of the portable terminal P2 is positioned along the upper surface 56 of the storage body 50. Therefore, the space on the stepped portion 45a2 can accommodate portable terminals with a width greater than 78.1 mm in the short side direction (e.g., portable terminals with a diagonal width exceeding 6.7 inches to approximately 7.2 inches).

[0076] like Figure 6 As shown, a recess 45b2 is formed on the upper edge 45b1 of the front wall portion 45b, such that a portion of the upper edge 45b1 is recessed downwards. As will be described later, the recess 45b2 is formed at a position overlapping the front receiving portion 53 in the front-rear direction (see reference). Figure 7 , Figure 8 ).

[0077] Figure 7 This is a sectional view of the front cover 10, showing the cut surface when the front cover 10 is cut with a horizontal section. For example... Figure 7As shown, relatively large components such as the battery box 61 and the front riser tube 62 are arranged in the center of the inner side of the front cover 10, that is, in the direction of vehicle width inward, compared to the main body of the storage section 50. The battery box 61 houses the battery used to store electricity for various parts of the saddle-type vehicle 1. In addition, various wire harnesses and cables such as the throttle cable 63, the rear brake cable 64, the front brake line 65, the seat opening cable 66, the power harness 67, and the turn indicator harness 68 are also stored inside the front cover 10. Furthermore, the front turn indicator 70 is arranged inside the front cover 10, along the front surface cover 11. The front turn indicator 70 is a device that illuminates the turn indicator bulb 71 (described later), and is located near the front storage section 53 when viewed from above.

[0078] Figure 8 This is a 3D view of the front storage section 53 as seen from the rear of the vehicle, and it is related to... Figure 6 A sectional view at the same cross-section. For example... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a bulge 57a is formed on the inner side 57 of the front storage section 53 in the vehicle width direction within the main body 50 of the storage section, bulging inward toward the interior of the front storage section 53. Therefore, the dimensions of the front storage section 53 and the item storage space S in the vehicle width direction are smaller than the dimensions of the terminal storage section 45 in the vehicle width direction, and the space outside the storage section 30 within the front cover 10 is correspondingly wider. In particular, as... Figure 7 As shown, the battery box 61, the front brake pipe 65, and the seat opening cable 66 are disposed in a space secured by forming a bulge 57a.

[0079] In addition, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the position R1 occupied by the recess 45b2 in the vehicle width direction overlaps with the position R2 occupied by the front storage portion 53 in the vehicle width direction. That is, the recess 45b2 is formed at a position that overlaps with the front storage portion 53 in the longitudinal direction when the vehicle is viewed from the rear. In addition, as described above, the upper edge 45b1 of the front wall portion 45b to which the recess 45b2 is formed is located above the lower surface 53a of the front storage portion 53. Therefore, corresponding to the downward recess of the upper edge 45b1 caused by the formation of the recess 45b2, the area of ​​the front storage portion 53 exposed rearward in the open state of the cover 40 is increased.

[0080] Figure 9 This is a perspective view of the main body 50 of the storage section, showing the main body 50 of the storage section as viewed from the front right. (Example) Figure 9 As shown, a turn signal bulb 71, serving as a light source, is mounted on the front turn signal 70. Additionally, as... Figure 9As shown, the turn indicator bulb 71, when installed in the front turn indicator 70, is located below the lower surface 53a of the front storage section 53. In other words, the lower surface 53a of the front storage section 53 is above the turn indicator bulb 71 installed in the front turn indicator 70. Therefore, the turn indicator bulb 71, whether installed in the front turn indicator 70 or removed from the front turn indicator 70, is unlikely to interfere with the storage section body 50.

[0081] Figure 10 yes Figure 5 A sectional view at section XX. (e.g.) Figure 10 As shown, a charging port 59 for charging portable terminals P1 and P2 is installed on the upper part of the storage unit body 50. In this embodiment, the charging port 59 is a USB (Universal Serial Bus) port, exposed inside the storage unit body 50. Portable terminals P1 and P2 are connected to the charging port 59 via cable C, thereby receiving power from the battery. Alternatively, portable terminals P1 and P2 can also be connected to the charging port 59 via cable C to establish a communication connection with the saddle-type vehicle 1.

[0082] As described above, according to this embodiment of the present invention, the storage structure of the saddle-type vehicle 1 includes: a storage body 50 having an opening 51 that opens to the rear; and a cover 40 that opens and closes the opening 51 from the rear. A terminal storage part 45 for storing portable terminals P1 and P2 is provided on the cover 40. The terminal storage part 45 has: a bottom part 45a located below the portable terminals P1 and P2 when the cover 40 is closed; and a front wall part 45b located in front of the bottom part 45a when the cover 40 is closed. A front storage part 53 with an item storage space S in front of the front wall part 45b is provided on the storage body 50.

[0083] According to this structure, in addition to the portable terminals P1 and P2, the item G2 can also be stored in the front storage section 53. Therefore, it is easy to increase the storage capacity. In addition, the front wall portion 45b can restrict the forward movement of the portable terminals P1 and P2 and the rearward movement of the item G2 in the front storage section 53. Therefore, in addition to increasing the storage capacity, it is also easy to suppress the movement of the stored item G2. In particular, in this embodiment, when the cover 40 is closed, the upper edge 45b1 of the front wall portion 45b is located above the lower surface 53a of the front storage section 53. Therefore, it is possible to more effectively suppress the rearward movement of the item G2 stored in the front storage section 53.

[0084] In this embodiment, in the storage structure of the saddle-type vehicle 1, when the cover 40 is in the open state, at least the upper end 41a of the cover 40 is located behind the opening 51, and a recess 45b2 is formed on the upper edge 45b1 of the front wall portion 45b, such that a part of the upper edge 45b1 is recessed downward.

[0085] According to this structure, the article G2 can be easily taken out or put in from above the front storage portion 53 of the cover 40 when the cover 40 is open, via the downward recessed portion 45b2. In particular, in this embodiment, when the cover 40 is open, the upper edge 45b1 of the front wall portion 45b is located above the lower surface 53a of the front storage portion 53. Therefore, the rearward movement of the article G2 stored in the front storage portion 53 is effectively suppressed, and the article G2 can be easily moved in and out of the front storage portion 53.

[0086] In this embodiment, the cover 40 has a rear wall portion 45c located behind the front wall portion 45b and an article placement platform 47 extending rearward from the rear wall portion 45c.

[0087] According to this structure, the item G1 can be placed and stored relative to the item placement platform 47. In particular, in this embodiment, the height of the rear wall portion 45c is lower than the height of the upper edge 45b1 of the front wall portion 45b, thus the opening of the terminal storage portion 45 is larger, making it easier for the portable terminals P1 and P2 to enter and exit. Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the height of the rear wall portion 45c is lower than the height of the upper edge 45b1 of the front wall portion 45b, the height of the item placement platform 47 is lower, and the storage capacity of the item G1 placed on the item placement platform 47 is larger.

[0088] In this embodiment, the bottom part 45a has a first mounting part 45a1, which has a width LW1 capable of mounting a portable terminal P1 of a predetermined first size, and a stepped part 45a2 extending upward from the bottom part 45a and outward in the width direction and functioning as a second mounting part. The stepped part 45a2 is capable of mounting a portable terminal P2 of a second size that is larger than the first size.

[0089] According to this structure, portable terminals P1 and P2 of different sizes can be mounted and housed in the first mounting portion 45a1 or the stepped portion 45a2. In particular, in this embodiment, the stepped portion 45a2 extends not only along the long side direction (vehicle width direction) of the first mounting portion 45a1, but also along the short side direction (front-rear direction) of the first mounting portion 45a1, and also outwards from the first mounting portion 45a1. Therefore, the stepped portion 45a2 can support the thick portable terminal P2 across approximately the entire area in the vehicle width direction, and can stably hold the portable terminal P2.

[0090] In this embodiment, the step portion 45a2 includes an inner step portion 45a3 located inside the vehicle width direction and an outer step portion 45a4 located outside the vehicle width direction, with the inner step portion 45a3 located below the outer step portion 45a4.

[0091] Based on this structure, the second-sized portable terminal P2 can easily maintain an upward tilt towards the inside of the vehicle width direction. Therefore, even in situations where there is limited space on the outside of the vehicle width direction, it is easy to store the second-sized portable terminal P2.

[0092] In this embodiment, the outer side edge 55a of the storage part body 50 in the vehicle width direction is inclined in the direction that the upper side is located inside the vehicle width direction.

[0093] According to this structure, even when the space outside the storage unit body 50 in the vehicle width direction is narrow, the portable terminal P2 can be held in an inclined state. In addition, when the storage unit body 50 is disposed inside the front cover 10 as in this embodiment, it is easy to arrange the storage unit body 50 without causing the upper part of the front cover 10 to bulge outward in the vehicle width direction.

[0094] In this embodiment, the lower surface 53a of the front storage portion 53 is formed at a position higher than the first mounting portion 45a1 of the bottom portion 45a of the terminal storage portion 45, and is positioned above the direction indicator bulb 71.

[0095] According to this structure, the front storage section 53 is located higher than the turn indicator bulb 71, thus ensuring the clearance during maintenance of the turn indicator bulb 71.

[0096] In this embodiment, a front cover 10 is provided to cover the main body 50 of the storage section, and a bulge is formed on the inner side 57 of the front storage section 53, protruding toward the interior of the front storage section 53.

[0097] According to this structure, since the inner side 57 of the front storage portion 53 bulges inward, it is possible to ensure space for component placement within the front cover (main cover) 10. In particular, in this embodiment, since a bulge 57a is formed on the inner side 57 in the vehicle width direction, it is easy to ensure space in the center of the vehicle for placing relatively large components such as the battery box 61.

[0098] In this embodiment, when the cover 40 is in the open state, at least the upper end 41a of the cover 40 is located behind the opening 51, and a recess 45b2 is formed on the upper edge 45b1 of the front wall portion 45b, such that a portion of the upper edge 45b11 is recessed downwards. The recess 45b2 is formed at a position that overlaps with the front storage portion 53 in the front-rear direction when the vehicle is viewed from the rear.

[0099] According to this structure, the item storage space S can be easily accessed through the recess 45b2, and the item G2 can be easily retrieved or placed relative to the item storage space S of the front storage part 53.

[0100] In this embodiment, a charging port 59 for charging is provided on the upper part of the storage body 50.

[0101] According to this structure, since the charging port 59 is located at the top, it is easy to charge the stored portable terminals P1 and P2. Because the charging port 59 is located further inside than the cover 40, it is less likely to get wet. In particular, in this embodiment, the charging port 59 is exposed to the rearward side inside the storage body 50, making it easy to connect the charging port 59 to the portable terminals P1 and P2 when the cover 40 is open.

[0102] [Other Implementation Methods]

[0103] The above-described embodiments are merely one way of presenting the invention, and can be modified and applied arbitrarily without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0104] In the above embodiment, the storage section 30 is located on the left side of the vehicle, but this is just one example. The storage section 30 can also be located in the center of the vehicle or on the right side of the vehicle.

[0105] The first and second dimensions of the portable terminals P1 and P2 described in the above embodiments are just examples, and can be arbitrarily set according to the model, specifications, decoration, etc. of the portable terminal being considered.

[0106] In the above embodiment, the charging port 59 is a USB port, but this is just one example. The charging port 59 can be a connector other than a USB port, or it can be a cable with terminals. In addition, the charging port 59 can also be a device for contactless charging or wireless communication of portable terminals P1 and P2 housed in the terminal storage section 45.

[0107] In the above embodiment, the case where the lower end 43b of the cover-side storage member 43 is installed on the lower part of the storage body 50, thereby connecting the cover 40 to the storage body 50, has been described, but this is only one example. The cover 40 may not be installed on the storage body 50, but may be rotatably installed on the rear surface cover 13, for example. In addition, the cover 40 is not limited to being opened by rotation; for example, it may be configured to be opened by pulling it out rearward.
