Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a box for a motorcycle, comprising a release and locking system for mounting the box on the motorcycle, which allows mounting on one side or the other of the box using the same components. Background Art

[0002] It is very common to use a box on a motorcycle to store the user's personal belongings (such as a helmet).

[0003] These boxes are mounted on the rear of a motorcycle or on the side of a motorcycle and include a base to which is mounted a cover which can be locked to the base by a key lock to prevent unauthorized users from accidentally opening the box.

[0004] Additionally, these boxes for motorcycles include a release and locking system, allowing the box to be locked to the motorcycle, or releasing the box, allowing the box to be easily installed on or removed from the motorcycle.

[0005] Depending on which side of the motorcycle the box is to be mounted, the release and locking system must be mounted on one side or the other of the box, so at least some of the components of the release and locking system are usually different, which entails an economic cost. Summary of the invention

[0006] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a box for a motorcycle comprising a release and locking system for mounting the box on the motorcycle, which allows the box to be mounted on one side or the other of the motorcycle using the same parts.

[0007] The box for a motorcycle of the present invention solves the above-mentioned disadvantages and has other advantages as will be described below.

[0008] A box for a motorcycle according to the invention is described in claim 1 , the dependent claims containing optional additional features.

[0009] In particular, the housing for motorcycles includes:

[0010] A release and locking system for releasing or locking the box to the motorcycle, the release and locking system comprising a lever, at least one protrusion and at least one stop, the at least one protrusion and the at least one stop being complementary to each other, and the lever, the at least one protrusion and the at least one stop being movable between a release position and a locking position, in which the box is allowed to be removed from the motorcycle and in which the box is locked to the motorcycle,

[0011] In which, the release and locking system also includes a transmission plate on which the at least one stop member is mounted, and the transmission plate transmits the movement between the lever and the at least one stop member, and the transmission plate and / or the at least one stop member can be positioned in a first orientation or a second orientation depending on the side of the box body on which the lever is to be mounted.

[0012] In this way, the same components can be used for both the first orientation (or right orientation) and the second orientation (or left orientation) of the release and locking system, depending on the side on which the box is to be mounted on the motorcycle, simply by flipping the transmission plate and / or at least one stop. Furthermore, any configuration of the box can be freely realized, depending on the needs of the user or the motorcycle manufacturer, by changing the position of the lock and / or the lever.

[0013] According to a preferred embodiment, the transmission plate is connected to the lever via a connecting rod, which is rotatable relative to the transmission plate and relative to the lever.

[0014] Furthermore, the transmission plate preferably comprises an elongated through hole in which the guide of the gearbox is accommodated.

[0015] Advantageously, the transmission plate comprises a projection, and the at least one elongated through hole is arranged in the projection.

[0016] Furthermore, the connecting rod is preferably connected to the transmission plate at the projection.

[0017] According to a preferred embodiment, the transmission plate has a rectangular profile defining long sides and short sides, the projections projecting from one of the long sides and one of the short sides. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] Figure 1 A case for a motorcycle according to the present invention is shown.

[0027] In order to be able to remove the case from the motorcycle or to lock the case to the motorcycle, the case for a motorcycle according to the invention comprises a release and locking system.

[0028] The release and locking system comprises an actuating lever 3 which can be placed in the mechanism box 11 at any position of the housing.

[0029] The actuation lever 3 is connected to the protrusion 4 so that actuation of the lever 3 causes a rotational displacement of the protrusion 4, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown.

[0030] Furthermore, said projection 4 is supplemented by a stop 5 which is movable between a release position allowing the box to be removed from the motorcycle and a locking position in which the stop 5 blocks the rotational displacement of the projection 4, locking the box to the motorcycle and preventing it from being removed.

[0031] These stoppers 5 can be Figure 3 and Figure 5 The release position shown moves to Figure 2 and Figure 4 locked position as shown, or vice versa.

[0032] The release and locking system also comprises the transmission plates 6 which are always the same, ie they can be used in right-hand and left-hand configurations by simply turning them over.

[0033] Furthermore, the stop 5, the connecting rod 7 and the gearbox 11 are always the same in both the left-hand configuration and the right-hand configuration.

[0034] The transmission plate 6 transmits the movement from the actuating lever 3 to the stop 5. For this purpose, the transmission plate 6 is connected to the actuating lever 3 via a connecting rod 7 which is rotatable relative to the transmission plate 6 and relative to the actuating lever 3.

[0035] The transmission plate 6 is mounted with the stopper 5, and has an elongated through hole 8 in which a guide 9 is mounted, and the guide 9 is attached to a mechanism box 11 of the housing.

[0036] At least one of the elongated through holes 8 is arranged in a projection 10 of the transmission plate 6 , which projection 10 projects from the rest of the transmission plate 6 .

[0037] According to the embodiment shown, the transmission plate 6 has a generally rectangular profile defining long sides and short sides, and the projection 10 projects from one of the long sides and one of the short sides.

[0038] Furthermore, the connecting rod 7 is attached to the transmission plate 6 at this projection 10 , in particular at its end which is furthest away from the rest of the transmission plate 6 .

[0039] The operation of the box for motorcycles according to the invention is as follows: When the user wishes to remove the box for motorcycles from the motorcycle, he / she simply operates the actuating lever 3, which allows the box to be removed.

[0040] When the actuating lever 3 is actuated and its position changes, the transmission plate 6 is moved via the connecting rod 7 from one position to another, for example from its releasing position to its locking position or vice versa.

[0041] With this displacement, the transmission plate 6 also moves the stopper 5 along the elongated through hole 8 of the transmission plate 6 .

[0042] Although reference has been made to particular embodiments of the invention, it will be obvious to a person skilled in the art that the described box for a motorcycle is susceptible of numerous variations and modifications, and that all the details mentioned may be replaced by technically equivalent ones, without departing from the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
