[0009] A side stand device and a saddle-type vehicle equipped with the same according to an embodiment will be described below. The saddle-type vehicle is, for example, a two-wheeled vehicle having two wheels arranged side by side in the traveling direction of the vehicle. The two-wheeled vehicle is an example of a lean vehicle that can assume a lean posture inclined in the left-right direction. The side stand device is a device that supports the two-wheeled vehicle so that it does not tip over in the left-right direction while the vehicle is stopped. In the following embodiment, an example will be described in which the two-wheeled vehicle is a motorcycle.

[0010] 1 is a side view showing the overall configuration of a motorcycle 10 equipped with a side stand device 30. In the following description, when referring to up / down, front / rear, and left / right, each direction is defined as follows. First, the side on which the front wheel 18 and rear wheel 24 of the motorcycle 10 contact the road surface is the bottom, and the opposite side is the top. Also, the direction in which the motorcycle 10 travels is the front, and the opposite side is the rear. Furthermore, when a user is riding the motorcycle 10 as a rider, the left and right sides of the motorcycle 10 are based on the user. When referring to the width direction, this refers to the left and right vehicle width direction.

[0011] In the motorcycle 10, a front wheel 18 is rotatably provided on the front side of a body frame 11. A rear wheel 24 is rotatably provided on the rear side of the body frame 11. An engine 20 is mounted on the body frame 11 as a power unit. The rear wheel 24 is driven and rotated by the drive of the engine 20. The power unit may be an electric motor or the like.

[0012] A seat 21 is provided above a middle portion in the fore-and-aft direction of the body frame 11. A fuel tank 22 is provided forward of the seat 21. A handlebar 17 is provided in front of the body frame 11. Therefore, a driver straddling the seat 21 can operate the handlebar 17 while facing forward.

[0013] By operating the handlebars 17, the direction of the front wheel 18 is changed. Here, a head pipe 12 is provided at the front of a body frame 11. A steering shaft 13 is rotatably inserted through the head pipe 12. An upper bracket 14 and an under bracket 15 are supported on the steering shaft 13. A front fork 16 is supported by the upper bracket 14 and the under bracket 15 so as to extend downward. A front wheel 18 is rotatably supported on a lower end of the front fork 16.

[0014] A handlebar 17 is supported by at least one of the upper bracket 14 and the under bracket 15. When the handlebar 17 is operated, the steering shaft 13, the upper bracket 14, the under bracket 15 and the front fork 16 rotate around the axis of the head pipe 12. Together with this rotation, the front wheel 18 also rotates around the axis of the head pipe 12, changing the direction of the front wheel 18.

[0015] The rear wheel 24 is rotatably supported by a swing arm 23 extending rearward from the rear of the body frame 11.

[0016] The side stand device 30 is provided on the lower part of the motorcycle 10. The side stand device 30 is displaceable between a stored position (solid line in FIG. 1) and a vehicle body support position (phantom line in FIG. 1) by rotating with respect to the motorcycle 10. In this embodiment, the side stand device 30 is provided on one side of the motorcycle 10, in this case, on the lower left side. Therefore, the motorcycle 10 is supported by the side stand device 30 in a state inclined (usually slightly inclined) to one side (left side) about the parts where the front wheel 18 and rear wheel 24 contact the ground.

[0017] The location where the side stand device 30 is provided is not particularly limited as long as it is a location that can support the motorcycle 10. Fig. 1 shows an example in which the side stand device 30 is provided on one lower side of the engine 20. The position of the side stand device 30 is close to the engine 20. For this reason, it can be said that the position of the side stand device 30 is a location on the motorcycle 10 to which vibrations from the engine 20 are relatively easily transmitted.

[0018] 2 to 4 are side views showing the side stand device 30. FIG. 2 is a side view seen from the left side of the vehicle, and FIGS. 3 and 4 are side views seen from the right side of the vehicle. Also, FIGS. 2 and 3 show the stand bar 40 in the stored position, and FIG. 4 shows the stand bar 40 in the vehicle body support position. FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing the side stand device 30. In FIG. 5, the stand bar 40 and the fixing partner of the support member 32 are omitted. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VI-VI in FIG. 2. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VII-VII in FIG. 2.

[0019] The side stand device 30 includes a support member 32, a stand bar 40, a stand switch 50, a fastening member 60, and a restricting member 70. The support member 32 is fixed to the motorcycle 10 and supports the stand bar 40, the stand switch 50, and the restricting member 70. The stand bar 40 can be displaced between a stored position and a vehicle body support position with respect to the motorcycle 10 by rotating with respect to the support member 32. In FIG. 1, the stand bar 40 in the stored position is shown by a solid line, and the stand bar 40 in the vehicle body support position is shown by a virtual line. The stand switch 50 detects the rotation state of the stand bar 40. For example, the detection result of the stand switch 50 is used to control the motorcycle 10. The fastening member 60 fastens the stand switch 50 to the support member 32 via the first vibration isolating member 80. The restricting member 70 prevents the stand switch 50 from rotating. The stand switch 50 can rotate around the axis of the fastening member 60 in a state where the restricting member 70 is not provided. The provision of the restricting member 70 restricts the rotation of the stand switch 50 around the axis of the fastening member 60. Each component of the side stand device 30 will now be described in more detail.

[0020] The support member 32 is fixed to one side in the vehicle width direction of the motorcycle 10. The support member 32 is formed, for example, of a metal plate. One main surface of the metal plate is the first surface 32A of the support member 32, and the other main surface of the metal plate is the second surface 32B of the support member 32. The metal plate is bent along a bending line 32BL so that the first surface 32A faces inward and the second surface 32B faces outward. Here, the support member 32 is fixed to the vehicle body in such a position that the first surface 32A faces outward in the vehicle width direction, the second surface 32B faces inward in the vehicle width direction, and the bending line 32BL extends along the front-rear direction. Therefore, the support member 32 has an area above the bending line 32BL (hereinafter referred to as an upper area 32U) and an area below the bending line 32BL (hereinafter referred to as a lower area 32L). The posture of the support member 32 is not particularly limited, but here, the main surface of the upper region 32U is parallel to the vertical direction, and the main surface of the lower region 32L is inclined with respect to the vertical direction. The lower region 32L is inclined toward the outside in the vehicle width direction as it goes downward. In Figs. 2 to 4, a view from a direction perpendicular to the main surface of the lower region 32L is shown. The roles of the upper region 32U and the lower region 32L are not particularly limited, but here, the upper region 32U is used for fixing to the motorcycle 10, and the lower region 32L is used for supporting the stand bar 40, the stand switch 50, and the regulating member 70.

[0021] Here, the support member 32 and the motorcycle 10 are fixed by welding. In addition, in this embodiment, the member fixed to the support member 32 in the motorcycle 10 is the cross tube 25, which is a metal pipe extending in the vehicle width direction. As shown in FIG. 5, a recess is formed in the upper edge of the support member 32 before it is fixed to the cross tube 25, into which the cross tube 25 fits. In the support member 32, a portion including the recess is defined as a vehicle body fixing portion 34. As shown in FIG. 4, the cross tube 25 fits into the recess, and the two are fixed by welding with the inner surface of the recess and the outer surface of the cross tube 25 in contact with each other. However, the fixing manner between the support member 32 and the motorcycle 10 may be a fixing manner other than welding, such as fastening. In addition, the member fixed to the support member 32 in the motorcycle 10 may be a member other than the cross tube 25, such as a down tube extending in the front-rear direction.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 5, three through holes 32H1, 32H2, 32H3 and one recess 32C are formed in the lower region 32L. The three through holes 32H1, 32H2, 32H3 penetrate the first surface 32A and the second surface 32B of the support member 32. The three through holes 32H1, 32H2, 32H3 are arranged in this order from the front along the front-rear direction. The through hole 32H1 is located higher in the vertical direction than the two through holes 32H2, 32H3. The two through holes 32H2, 32H3 are located at approximately the same position in the vertical direction. The through hole 32H1 is used to fasten the stand switch 50. The through hole 32H2 ​​is used to fit the stand switch 50. The through hole 32H3 is used to fasten the stand bar 40.

[0023] The recess 32C is located between the two through holes 32H2, 32H3 in the front-rear direction. The recess 32C is located above the two through holes 32H2, 32H3 in the up-down direction, and is at a position approximately equal to that of the through hole 32H1. The recess 32C is a bottomed hole having a bottom. The opening of the recess 32C is formed in the first surface 32A. The recess 32C is used to fit with the restricting member 70.

[0024] The storage position and vehicle body support position of the stand bar 40 are not particularly limited, but are set as follows here. The storage position of the stand bar 40 is a position where the tip of the stand bar 40 is located higher than the position of the tip of the stand bar 40 at the vehicle body support position of the stand bar 40. The storage position may be considered as a position where the stand bar 40 avoids contact with the ground while the motorcycle 10 is traveling. The vehicle body support position is a posture where the stand bar 40 extends downward or diagonally downward from the support point by the motorcycle 10. In the vehicle body support position, the tip of the stand bar 40 is located on one side outside the points of the front wheel 18 and the rear wheel 24 that contact the ground.

[0025] The stand bar 40 is formed in an elongated shape. The base end of the stand bar 40 is rotatably supported by the motorcycle 10. When the stand bar 40 rotates around the base end, the tip of the stand bar 40 approaches the ground at the vehicle body support position, and the tip of the stand bar 40 leaves the ground at the storage position. The base end of the stand bar 40 is rotatably fastened to the through hole 32H3 via the bar fastening member 43. The configuration of the base end of the stand bar 40 is not particularly limited, but here, the base end of the stand bar 40 has a clamping portion formed in a U-shape to clamp the support member 32 in the left-right direction. The clamping portion has an insertion hole through which the fastening member 60 is inserted. The bar fastening member 43 is fastened in a state where it penetrates the insertion hole of the stand bar 40 and the through hole 32H3 of the support member 32. The bar fastening member 43 is, for example, a bolt 44 and a nut 47. The bar fastening member 43 may be a rivet or the like. The middle part of the stand bar 40 extends straight from the clamping part. A flange part is provided at the tip part of the stand bar 40. The flange part is in a position parallel to the ground when the stand bar 40 is displaced to the vehicle body support position. This increases the ground contact area of ​​the side stand device 30. Instead of the flange part, the tip part of the stand bar 40 itself may be bent and flattened to increase the ground contact area.

[0026] In the stand bar 40, rotation beyond the storage position and rotation beyond the vehicle body support position are restricted by, for example, the support member 32. Specifically, the support member 32 has a portion extending rearward above the through hole 32H3 and a portion extending downward forward from the through hole 32H3. The portion extending rearward above the through hole 32H3 restricts the stand bar 40 from rotating further upward when the stand bar 40 is located at the storage position. The portion extending downward forward from the through hole 32H3 restricts the stand bar 40 from rotating further forward when the stand bar 40 is located at the vehicle body support position. Therefore, these portions are stand bar restricting portions that restrict the rotation of the stand bar 40.

[0027] The stand bar 40 is biased by a spring 48. The spring 48 is an elongated member that can be elastically expanded and contracted. The spring 48 is, for example, a coil spring. As shown in FIG. 3, a pin 36 is provided on the support member 32 to which one end of the spring 48 is engaged. The pin 36 protrudes from the second surface 32B of the support member 32. The stand bar 40 is provided with a pin 41 to which the other end of the spring 48 is engaged. The pin 41 protrudes from the longitudinal middle portion of the stand bar 40 toward the inside in the vehicle width direction. The engagement between the spring 48 and the pins 36 and 41 may be any type, and may be achieved by forming the end of the spring 48 into a J-shaped hook shape and hooking the hook-shaped portion onto the pins 36 and 41 as shown in FIG. 3.

[0028] The position of the pin 36 on the second surface 32B of the support member 32 is different from the bar fastening member 43 fastened to the through hole 32H3. As a result, the interval between the two pins 36, 41, that is, the degree of extension of the spring 48, changes due to the rotation of the stand bar 40. Here, the pin 36 is located on one side of the bar fastening member 43, and the pin 41 is located on the other side. In this case, when the two pins 36, 41 and the bar fastening member 43 are aligned on a straight line, the interval between the two pins 36, 41 is the largest. Here, the two pins 36, 41 and the bar fastening member 43 are aligned on a straight line at the intermediate position during the displacement of the stand bar 40 between the storage position and the vehicle body support position. When the stand bar 40 is in each of the storage position and the vehicle body support position, the interval between the two pins 36, 41 becomes smaller than the interval at the intermediate position. The distance between the two pins 36, 41 when the stand bar 40 is in the stored position and the distance between the two pins 36, 41 when the stand bar 40 is in the vehicle body support position may be approximately the same, or one of them may be larger than the other. Here, the distance between the two pins 36, 41 when the stand bar 40 is in the stored position is smaller than the distance between the two pins 36, 41 when the stand bar 40 is in the vehicle body support position.

[0029] Here, even when the distance between the two pins 36, 41 is the smallest, the spring 48 is in an elastically stretched state. Therefore, when the stand bar 40 is in the storage position, the spring 48 urges the stand bar 40 toward the storage position. Similarly, when the stand bar 40 is in the vehicle body support position, the spring 48 urges the stand bar 40 toward the vehicle body support position. The user rotates the stand bar 40, which is in either the storage position or the vehicle body support position, against the urging force of the spring 48 to an intermediate position where the two pins 36, 41 and the bar fastening member 43 are aligned in a straight line. When the stand bar 40 passes the intermediate position where the two pins 36, 41 and the bar fastening member 43 are aligned in a straight line, the spring 48 begins to contract and urges the stand bar 40 toward the other of the storage position and the vehicle body support position.

[0030] The pin 36 protrudes from a position on the second surface 32B of the support member 32 opposite to the recess 32C. The recess 32C is formed as follows. First, before the pin 36 is inserted, a through hole penetrating the metal plate constituting the support member 32 is formed at the position of the recess 32C in the metal plate. The pin 36 is inserted from the second surface 32B to the middle of the through hole. A part of the through hole including an opening on the first surface 32A side remains, and another part including an opening on the second surface 32B side is blocked by the pin 36. This forms the recess 32C in the shape of a bottomed hole. Therefore, the bottom of the recess 32C is formed by the bottom surface of the pin 36. The recess 32C may be provided at a position different from that of the pin 36.

[0031] The motorcycle 10 travels with the stand bar 40 displaced to the storage position. With the stand bar 40 displaced to the vehicle body support position, the stand bar 40 supports the motorcycle 10 from one side. The stand switch 50 detects, for example, whether the stand bar 40 is in the storage position or whether the stand bar 40 is in the vehicle body support position. The detection result of the stand switch 50 is sent to a control unit of the motorcycle 10, such as an ECU (electronic control unit). The control unit of the motorcycle 10 controls the motorcycle 10 based on the rotation state of the stand bar 40 detected by the stand switch 50. For example, the control unit controls the motorcycle 10 so that the engine 20 does not start when the stand bar 40 is in the vehicle body support position. This makes it possible to prevent the vehicle from traveling with the stand bar 40 in the vehicle body support position.

[0032] Here, the stand switch 50 is described as being a limit switch. A limit switch is a switch that switches a circuit by moving a movable contact with an actuator. The stand switch 50 may be a switch other than a limit switch, for example, a magnetic detection switch. The stand switch 50 includes a switch body, a housing 52, and an actuator.

[0033] The switch body includes a movable contact and a circuit connected to the movable contact. One end of a wire 55 is connected to the circuit. A signal from the stand switch 50 is transmitted to the control unit via the wire 55. The housing 52 houses the switch body.

[0034] The actuator moves the movable contact. Here, the actuator includes a movable part 56 rotatably supported outside the housing 52. For example, the actuator further includes a plunger (not shown) that is connected to a rotation shaft 57 of the movable part 56 and fits inside the housing 52. When the movable part 56 rotates, the plunger moves the movable contact and switches the circuit. The base end of the movable part 56 is rotatably supported by the housing 52. The tip end of the movable part 56 extends outward from the housing 52. The movable part 56 is made of, for example, a metal plate. The tip end of the movable part 56 has a pair of legs that extend in a bifurcated shape. The stand bar 40 is formed with an engagement protrusion 42 that fits between the pair of legs. When the stand bar 40 rotates, the engagement protrusion 42 located between the pair of legs moves between the base end and tip end of the legs. At this time, the engagement protrusion 42 presses the legs, causing the movable part 56 to rotate around the rotation shaft 57.

[0035] The stand switch 50 is located on the second surface 32B side of the support member 32. An insertion hole 53 for passing a fastening member 60 is formed in the housing 52 of the stand switch 50. The fastening member 60 fastens the stand switch 50 to the support member 32 via the first vibration-proof member 80.

[0036] The first vibration-proofing member 80 is fitted into the through hole 32H1 of the support member 32. The first vibration-proofing member 80 is formed of an elastic material such as rubber. The first vibration-proofing member 80 has a tubular portion 81 and flange portions 82 and 83. The tubular portion 81 is formed, for example, in a cylindrical shape and passes through the through hole 32H1. The tubular portion 81 is longer than the through hole 32H1 along the axial direction. A first end portion of the tubular portion 81 protrudes outward from the first surface 32A of the support member 32. The flange portion 82 protrudes outward from the first end portion of the tubular portion 81 and engages with the first surface 32A of the support member 32. A second end portion of the tubular portion 81 protrudes outward from the second surface 32B of the support member 32. The flange portion 83 protrudes outward from the second end portion of the tubular portion 81 and engages with the second surface 32B of the support member 32. The housing 52 is in contact with the end surface of the flange portion 83.

[0037] Here, a collar 85 is inserted into the first vibration-damping member 80. The collar 85 has a tubular portion 86 and a flange portion 87. The collar 85 is made of metal or hard resin. The tubular portion 86 is inserted from the first end of the first vibration-damping member 80 to the second end or just before it. The flange portion 87 of the collar 85 protrudes from one end of the tubular portion 86 towards the outer periphery. The flange portion 87 engages with the flange portion 82 of the first vibration-damping member 80.

[0038] As the fastening member 60, for example, a bolt 61 and a nut 64 are provided. A head 63 of the bolt 61 is located on the first surface 32A side of the support member 32. As shown in Fig. 6, a bolt body 62 of the bolt 61 passes through a collar 85 and the stand switch 50. A nut 64 is fastened to the tip of the bolt body 62. Providing the collar 85 prevents the first vibration-proof member 80 from being strongly compressed by the head 63 when the bolt 61 is fastened. Note that the collar 85 may be omitted.

[0039] The restricting member 70 is provided on the first surface 32A of the support member 32, which is opposite to the second surface 32B on which the stand switch 50 is provided. For example, the restricting member 70 is made of a metal or resin plate material. When the restricting member 70 is a metal plate, for example, a base material is punched and bent to form a predetermined shape. When the restricting member 70 is a resin plate, for example, it is formed by injection molding or the like so as to have a predetermined shape. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the thickness of the plate material constituting the restricting member 70 may be thinner than the thickness of the metal plate constituting the support member 32. The restricting member 70 includes an attachment portion 72, a fitting portion 74, and a connecting portion 76. The attachment portion 72 is a portion attached to the fastening member 60. The fitting portion 74 is a portion that fits into the support member 32. The connecting portion 76 is a portion that connects the attachment portion 72 and the fitting portion 74.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 5, an insertion hole 72H is formed in the mounting portion 72. The bolt body 62 is inserted through the insertion hole 72H. The peripheral portion of the insertion hole 72H in the mounting portion 72 is attached to the fastening member 60 by being sandwiched between the first surface 32A of the support member 32 and the head 63 of the bolt 61. In this embodiment, the flange portion 82 of the first vibration-proof member 80 and the flange portion 87 of the collar 85 are sandwiched between the first surface 32A of the support member 32 and the head 63 of the bolt 61 together with the mounting portion 72 in the regulating member 70. The mounting portion 72 is located between the flange portion 87 of the collar 85 and the head 63 of the bolt 61. The surface of the support member 32 that the mounting portion 72 faces is the first surface 32A. The first surface 32A is the surface opposite the stand switch 50 across the support member 32. The mounting portion 72 and the stand switch 50 are located on opposite sides of the support member 32. The mounting portion 72 is located outside the first surface 32A, and the stand switch 50 is located outside the second surface 32B. The mounting portion 72 and the stand switch 50 are fastened via a fastening member 60 so as to rotate together in the attached state.

[0041] The support member 32 has a fitted portion 32C on the first surface 32A facing the mounting portion 72 of the regulating member 70, into which the fitting portion 74 of the regulating member 70 fits. The fitting portion 74 fits into the fitted portion 32C, so that the regulating member 70 is prevented from rotating on both circumferential sides of the fastening member 60 (both circumferential sides around the through hole 32H1) relative to the support member 32. The fitted portion 32C is provided in an area of ​​the support member 32 that is inside the periphery of the first surface 32A facing the mounting portion 72 of the regulating member 70. The fitted portion 32C may be formed in a convex shape or a concave shape. Here, the recess 32C and its periphery are the fitted portion 32C. The fitted portion 32C is realized by a recess 32C that retreats to the inside of the thickness direction of the support member 32 with respect to the remaining surface of the support member 32. As described above, the recess 32C is used as a recess into which the pin 36 is inserted. The fitting portion 74 is formed into a hook shape by bending the plate material constituting the regulating member 70 in the thickness direction. The hook-shaped fitting portion 74 fits into the recess 32C.

[0042] The fitting portion 74 of the regulating member 70 has opposing portions formed on both circumferential sides of the fastening member 60 facing the fitted portion 32C of the support member 32. A first side edge portion and a second side edge portion along the plate width direction of the fitting portion 74 are opposing portions facing the inner surface of the recess 32C. The opposing portions may or may not be in contact with the inner surface of the recess 32C. When the opposing portions are in contact with the inner surface of the recess 32C, they are also considered to be opposing portions of the recess 32C.

[0043] In the hook-shaped fitting portion 74, the plate width direction is along the tangential direction of a concentric circle centered on the through hole 32H1. As a result, when the regulating member 70 tries to rotate around the axis of the through hole 32H1, the hook-shaped fitting portion 74 is likely to come into contact with the inner surface of the recess 32C, and the rotation is likely to be suppressed. The recess 32C is formed in a circular shape when viewed from the outside in the axial direction, and the plate width of the fitting portion 74 is approximately the same as the diameter of the recess 32C. The first side edge and the second side edge of the fitting portion 74 are in contact with the inner surface of the recess 32C or face each other with a small gap therebetween.

[0044] When the first vibration-proofing member 80 is used, a margin for deformation of the first vibration-proofing member 80 is permitted, and this margin serves to suppress the transmission of vehicle body vibration. This margin may cause displacement of the stand switch 50 relative to the support member 32. Even in this case, the rotation of the stand switch 50 around the through hole 32H1 can be suppressed by preventing rotation with the restricting member 70.

[0045] The connecting portion 76 extends along a direction connecting the through hole 32H1 and the recess 32C. Here, since the through hole 32H1 and the recess 32C are separated in the front-rear direction, the connecting portion 76 extends in the front-rear direction. In addition, the connecting portion 76 is provided with an offset bent portion 77. The offset bent portion 77 offsets the main surface of the plate material constituting the regulating member 70 along the normal direction of the first surface 32A. Here, the mounting portion 72 is separated outward in the normal direction from the first surface 32A of the support member 32 by the sum of the thickness of the flange portion 82 of the first vibration-proof member 80 and the thickness of the flange portion 87 of the collar 85. By providing the offset bent portion 77, the portion of the regulating member 70 on the mating portion 74 side from the offset bent portion 77 is closer to the first surface 32A than the mounting portion 72. Note that, as shown in FIG. 6, here, the portion on the mating portion 74 side from the offset bent portion 77 is separated from the first surface 32A. The portion closer to the fitting portion 74 than the offset bent portion 77 may be in contact with the first surface 32A.

[0046] A support portion where the stand switch 50 and the support member 32 are supported via the second vibration-isolating member 90 is provided separately from the fastening member 60. The housing 52 has a mating protrusion 54 that protrudes toward the support member 32 from the outer surface facing the support member 32. The second vibration-isolating member 90 is fitted into the through hole 32H2 ​​of the support member 32. A mating recess is formed in the second vibration-isolating member 90. The mating protrusion 54 is fitted into the mating recess of the second vibration-isolating member 90.

[0047] A fitting protrusion 54 is provided on the surface of the housing 52 opposite to the surface supporting the movable part 56. The fitting protrusion 54 is provided on an extension of the rotation shaft 57 of the movable part 56. The fitting protrusion 54 is cylindrical. The central axis of the fitting protrusion 54 coincides with the extension of the rotation shaft 57 of the movable part 56. Since the fitting protrusion 54 is provided on the extension of the rotation shaft 57 of the movable part 56 and is supported by the support member 32 via the second vibration isolating member 90, the second vibration isolating member 90 can support the portion of the movable part 56 located on the opposite side of the rotation shaft 57. This can reduce the effect of vehicle vibration on the rotation of the movable part 56.

[0048] Here, the second vibration-proofing member 90 has a tubular portion 91 and flange portions 92 and 93. The tubular portion 91 is formed in a cylindrical shape and penetrates the through hole 32H2. The tubular portion 91 is longer than the through hole 32H2 ​​along the axial direction. A first end of the tubular portion 91 protrudes outward from the first surface 32A of the support member 32. The flange portion 92 protrudes from the first end of the tubular portion 91 toward the outer periphery and engages with the first surface 32A. A second end of the tubular portion 91 protrudes outward from the second surface 32B of the support member 32. The flange portion 93 protrudes from the second end of the tubular portion 91 toward the outer periphery and engages with the second surface 32B. Here, the second vibration-proofing member 90 further has a bottom wall portion 94. The bottom wall portion 94 closes the opening of the tubular portion 91 at the first end of the tubular portion 91. The second vibration-proofing member 90 is a tubular member in which only the second end is open. A portion including the opening at the second end of the second vibration-isolating member 90 is a mating recess into which the mating protrusion 54 fits. The mating protrusion 54 is inserted into the interior of the second vibration-isolating member 90 through the opening at the second end of the second vibration-isolating member 90. The amount of insertion of the mating protrusion 54 is not particularly limited, but in this case, it is inserted up to the position of the flange portion 93, and the mating protrusion 54 is not inserted into the inside of the through hole 32H2. The mating protrusion 54 may be inserted into the inside of the through hole 32H2.

[0049] Here, the restricting member 70 further includes a retaining portion 78. The retaining portion 78 is located outside the first end of the tubular portion 91 and prevents the second vibration-damping member 90 from slipping out to the outside of the first surface 32A. The retaining portion 78 contacts the outer surface of the bottom wall portion 94 of the second vibration-damping member 90. The retaining portion 78 extends from the connecting portion 76 in a direction intersecting the direction connecting the mounting portion 72 and the fitting portion 74.

[0050] The tip ends of the mounting portion 72, the fitting portion 74, and the retaining portion 78 are arranged to form the three vertices of a triangle. In order to connect the tip ends of the mounting portion 72, the fitting portion 74, and the retaining portion 78, a portion connected to the retaining portion 78 extends from a position between the mounting portion 72 and the fitting portion 74. The connecting portion 76 is formed in a T-shape. The restricting member 70 is T-shaped. This makes it easy to miniaturize the structure.

[0051] The retaining portion 78 extends downward from a portion of the connecting portion 76 located closer to the fitting portion 74 than the offset bent portion 77. The offset bent portion 77 is bent in the thickness direction of the plate material constituting the restricting member 70 so that the opposing surfaces of the retaining portion 78 and the second vibration-proofing member 90 are located at positions approximately the same distance from the first surface 32A when the mounting portion 72 is in contact with the collar 85 before the fastening member 60 is fastened. The offset amount of the offset bent portion 77 along the normal direction of the first surface 32A is approximately the same as the difference between the height dimension from the first surface 32A to the flange portion 87 of the collar 85 and the height dimension from the first surface 32A to the bottom wall portion 94 of the second vibration-proofing member 90. When the fastening member 60 is fastened, the portion of the first vibration-proofing member 80 located outside the first surface 32A is compressed, and the mounting portion 72 can approach the first surface 32A. In this case, a force is also applied to the retaining portion 78 in a direction approaching the first surface 32A, and this force presses the second vibration isolating member 90 in a direction from the first surface 32A toward the second surface 32B.

[0052] <Effects, etc.> According to the side stand device 30 configured as described above, by fixing the stand switch 50 to the support member 32 via the first vibration-proof member 80, it is possible to suppress vehicle body vibrations transmitted to the stand switch 50. Furthermore, by attaching the fastening member 60 to the restricting member 70, the restricting member 70 is fitted into the support member 32, and thus displacement of the fastening member 60 together with the restricting member 70 relative to the support member 32 is suppressed. Furthermore, by fitting the restricting member 70 into the support member 32, it is possible to suppress the structure from becoming complicated.

[0053] When the impact of vehicle body vibration on the stand switch 50 is expected to be large, measures against vibration of the stand switch 50 may be required. By providing the first vibration-proof member 80, the transmission of vehicle body vibration to the stand switch 50 is suppressed. In addition, a rotation stopper may be required to prevent the stand switch 50 from rotating due to the torque of the stand bar 40. For example, a torque around the through hole 32H1 may be generated in the stand switch 50 through the movable part 56. By providing the restricting member 70, the rotation of the stand switch 50 around the through hole 32H1 due to the torque is suppressed. In this manner, in the present disclosure, the first vibration-proof member 80 and the restricting member 70 can achieve both the vibration countermeasures and the rotation stopper with a simple structure.

[0054] Furthermore, the first surface 32A of the support member 32 facing the mounting portion 72 of the regulating member 70 is provided with a fitted portion 32C into which the fitting portion 74 of the regulating member 70 fits. In this case, the mounting portion 72 and the fitting portion 74 of the regulating member 70 can be formed on the same first surface 32A side of the support member 32, which makes it easy to simplify the structure of the regulating member 70.

[0055] Furthermore, in the support member 32, a fitted portion 32C into which the fitting portion 74 of the restricting member 70 fits is provided in an area inside the periphery of the first surface 32A that faces the mounting portion 72 of the restricting member 70. In this case, the fitting portion 74 of the restricting member 70 can be brought closer to the mounting portion 72, making it easier to miniaturize the restricting member 70 and simplify the structure.

[0056] Furthermore, the fitting portion 74 of the restricting member 70 is formed with opposing portions that face the fitted portion 32C of the support member 32 on both circumferential sides of the fastening member 60. In this case, it is possible to prevent rotation in both the one circumferential direction and the other circumferential direction.

[0057] Furthermore, the first surface 32A of the support member 32, which faces the mounting portion 72 of the regulating member 70, is the surface on the opposite side of the support member 32 from the stand switch 50. In this case, it is easy to prevent the regulating member 70 from interfering with the stand switch 50, and it is easy to simplify the structure of the regulating member 70.

[0058] Further, the fitted portion 32C is realized by a recess 32C that retreats toward the inside in the thickness direction of the support member 32 relative to the remaining surface, and fits into the recess 32C as a fitting portion 74. In this case, the fitting portion 74 can be easily provided by bending a part of the member constituting the regulating member 70 into a hook shape, for example.

[0059] Also, the recess 32C is a recess into which the pin 36 is inserted, into which the spring 48 is fitted to apply a biasing force to the stand bar 40. In this case, by using the pin hole for the spring 48 as the recess 32C, the number of processing steps can be reduced compared to the case where a dedicated recess is formed as the fitted portion 32C.

[0060] In addition, a support portion where the stand switch 50 and the support member 32 are supported via the second vibration isolating member 90 is provided separately from the fastening member 60. In this case, by providing the second vibration isolating member 90, the effect of vibration on the stand switch 50 can be further reduced. Furthermore, when the stand switch 50 is attached to the support member 32, the fitting convex portion 54 of the stand switch 50 fits into the fitting concave portion of the second vibration isolating member 90, making it easy to orient the stand switch 50 around the through hole 32H1 in a predetermined direction.

[0061] The restricting member 70 also includes a retaining portion 78 for preventing the second vibration isolating member 90 from coming off. In this case, the restricting member 70 can also prevent the second vibration isolating member 90 from coming off the support member 32.

[0062] Furthermore, the retaining portion 78 extends from the connecting portion 76 in a direction intersecting the direction connecting the attachment portion 72 and the fitting portion 74. In this case, the degree of freedom in the positional relationship between the first vibration isolating member 80, the second vibration isolating member 90 and the fitted portion 32C is increased.

[0063] <Modification> The configurations described in the above embodiment and modifications can be combined as appropriate as long as they are not mutually inconsistent.

[0064] The present specification and drawings disclose the following aspects.

[0066] According to the first aspect, the stand switch is supported on the support member via the first vibration-isolating member, so that vehicle body vibration transmitted to the stand switch can be suppressed. Furthermore, the fastening member is attached to the restricting member, so that the restricting member is fitted to the support member, and thus displacement of the restricting member and the fastening member relative to the support member is suppressed. Furthermore, the restricting member is fitted to the support member, so that the structural complexity can be suppressed.

[0067] In a second aspect, in the side stand device according to the first aspect, a mating portion into which the mating portion of the regulating member is mated is provided on a surface of the support member that faces the mounting portion of the regulating member.

[0068] In a third aspect, in the side stand device according to the first aspect, the support member has a fitted portion into which the fitting portion of the regulating member fits, which is provided in an area inside the periphery of the surface of the regulating member that faces the mounting portion. In this case, the fitting portion of the regulating member can be brought closer to the mounting portion, making it easier to make the regulating member smaller and simplify the structure.

[0069] In a fourth aspect, in the side stand device according to the second or third aspect, the fitting portion of the regulating member has opposing portions that face the fitted portion of the support member on both circumferential sides of the fastening member.

[0071] A sixth aspect is the side stand device according to any one of the second to fifth aspects, in which the fitted portion is realized by a recess that is retracted toward the inside in the thickness direction of the support member relative to the remaining surface, and is fitted into the recess as the fitting portion. In this case, the fitting portion can be easily provided by bending a part of a member constituting the regulating member into a hook shape, for example.

[0072] A seventh aspect is the side stand device according to the sixth aspect, in which the recess is a recess into which a pin is inserted to which a spring for applying a biasing force to the stand bar is inserted. In this case, by using the pin hole for the spring as the recess, the number of processing steps can be reduced compared to the case where a dedicated recess is formed as the fitting portion.

[0073] In an eighth aspect, in the side stand device according to any one of the first to seventh aspects, a support portion for supporting the stand switch and the support member via a second vibration isolating member is provided separately from the fastening member. In this case, by providing the second vibration isolating member, the effect of vibration on the stand switch can be further reduced.
