Description

Field of the invention

[0001] The present innovation concerns a side conveyor for motorcycles. Description of the state of the art

[0002] As is well known, the side fan of a motorcycle is a side panel, generally located in the area of ​​the tank, which ensures the protection of the internal mechanics by allowing the passage of air for the cooling circuit.

[0003] Document DE 20 2022 106 953 shows a side panel comprising an elongated central element in the shape of a shell, extending to two opposite sides. On the first side, which is the upper side during use, there is a recess with two obtuse angles relative to that side. These angles serve to reduce the likelihood of a rider becoming stuck and falling.

[0004] However, this solution requires an opening at a point in the duct that can be heavily contaminated, especially on motocross bikes, reducing the protection provided by the conveyor itself. Summary of the invention

[0005] The aim of this innovation is therefore to provide a motorcycle side panel that reduces the penetration of dirt into the upper area compared to the state of the art.

[0006] Another feature of the present innovation is to provide such a motorcycle side panel that has good structural strength.

[0007] These and other goals are achieved by a motorcycle side panel that includes: a main body with: a first edge located, in use, in an upper portion of the main body, the first edge including a recess extending between a point A and a point B of the first edge; a second edge located in a lower portion of the main body during use; whose main feature consists in the provision of a laminar element in correspondence with said recess, extending between said point A and said point B of said first edge to fill said recess.

[0008] In particular, the recess comprises a first side and a second side, wherein the second side extends between the first side and the point A of the first edge and the first edge and the second side define an interior angle θ of less than 90°. Short description of the drawings

[0009] The innovation will now be illustrated by the following description of embodiments by way of example, but not by way of limitation, with reference to the attached drawings in which: Fig. 1 shows a possible exemplary embodiment of a motorcycle side panel according to the present embodiment; Fig. Figure 2 shows an alternative view of the exemplary embodiment of the motorcycle side panel of Fig. 1; Fig. 2A shows a section of Fig. 2, in which the recess and the laminar element can be seen. Description of exemplary embodiments

[0010] With reference to the Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig.2A, a motorcycle side panel 100 according to the present invention includes a main body 110 having a first edge 115 and a second edge 116. Specifically, the first edge 115 is positioned in the upper portion of the main body 110, i.e., near the handlebars of the motorcycle.

[0011] In particular, the first edge 115 includes a recess 118 extending between a point A and a point B of the first edge 115. Such a recess 118 includes a first side 118' and a second side 118''. The second side 118'' extends between point A of the first edge 115 and the first side 118' of the recess 118.

[0012] Advantageously, a laminar element 119 is provided at the recess 118, which extends between the point A and the point B of the first edge 115 in order to fill the recess 118.

[0013] In this way, the present innovation can prevent dirt or deposits in general from penetrating beyond the sidewall 100 into the internal mechanics of the motorcycle.

[0014] Advantageously, the first side 118' and the second side 118'' of the recess 118 define an interior angle θ of less than 90°.

[0015] In this way, the present innovation provides better structural resistance of the laminar element 119 and reduces the likelihood of breakage.

[0016] The foregoing description of some exemplary embodiments may demonstrate innovation from a conceptual standpoint so that others, by applying current knowledge, will be able to modify and / or adapt the specific exemplary embodiments to various applications without further investigation and without departing from the invention. Accordingly, it is intended that such adaptations and modifications are to be considered equivalent to the embodiments of this invention. The means and materials for providing the various described functions may be natural changes without departing from the scope of innovation. It is to be understood that the phraseology or terminology used herein is for the purpose of description and not limitation. QUOTES CONTAINED IN THE DESCRIPTION
