The throttle body avoiding portion 41a is configured to a size that allows it to enter the helmet 100 from the opening (neck portion) of the helmet 100. This allows the throttle body 33 to be brought close to the throttle body avoiding portion 41a from below, while the helmet 100 can be efficiently accommodated from above on the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 41.

[0024] A plate-shaped partition member 50 extending in the left-right direction is detachably disposed behind the throttle body avoiding portion 41a. The partition member 50 is disposed in the center in the front-rear direction of the accommodation space S. The partition member 50 divides the accommodation space S into a front space S1 and a rear space S2.

[0025] The attachment / detachment structure of the partition member 50 will be described below. A left locking portion (locking portion on one side in the left-right direction) 46 is formed on the left side wall portion 44. The left locking portion 46 bulges inward in the vehicle width direction from the left side wall portion 44. The left locking portion 46 is formed in a columnar shape extending in the up-down direction. The left locking portion 46 is formed at the lower end of the left side wall portion 44. A locking groove 46a (see FIG. 5) is formed on the left locking portion 46. The locking groove 46a has a vertical hole 46a1 extending downward from the upper surface of the left locking portion 46 and a slit groove 46a2 extending from the vertical hole 46a1 to the right (the other side in the left-right direction, radial direction). Thus, the left locking portion 46 is formed in a substantially C-shape. The vertical hole 46a1 communicates with the storage space S on the inner left-right direction via the slit groove 46a2.

[0026] A right locking portion (locking portion on the other side in the left-right direction) 47 is formed on the right side wall portion 45. The right locking portion 47 differs from the left locking portion 46 in that a plurality of slit grooves 47a2, 47a3 extend from a vertical hole 47a1. In detail, the right locking portion 47 bulges inward in the vehicle width direction from the right side wall portion 45. The right locking portion 47 is formed in a columnar shape extending in the up-down direction. The right locking portion 47 is formed above the left locking portion 46 (see FIG. 6). The right locking portion 47 is formed with a locking groove 47a. The locking groove 47a has a vertical hole 47a1 extending downward from the upper surface of the right locking portion 47, a slit groove 47a2 extending from the vertical hole 47a1 to the left (the other side in the left-right direction, radial direction), and a slit groove 47a3 extending from the vertical hole 47a1 to the rear side (one side in the front-rear direction, radial direction). The vertical hole 47a1 communicates with the storage space S on the inner side in the left-right direction via a slit groove 47a2. The vertical hole 47a1 communicates with the storage space S on the rear side via a slit groove 47a3.

[0027] The retraction locking portion 48 is formed on the rear side of the right locking portion 47 at a position spaced apart by the distance between the right locking portion 47 and the left locking portion 46. More specifically, the retraction locking portion 48 is formed on the right side wall portion 45. The retraction locking portion 48 bulges inward in the vehicle width direction from the right side wall portion 45. The retraction locking portion 48 is formed in a columnar shape extending in the vertical direction. The retraction locking portion 48 is formed above the right locking portion 47 (see FIG. 6). The locking groove 48a has a vertical hole 48a1 extending downward from the upper surface of the retraction locking portion 48 and a slit groove 48a2 extending forward (the other side in the front-rear direction) from the vertical hole 48a1. Thus, the retraction locking portion 48 is formed in a substantially C-shape. The vertical hole 48a1 communicates with the front accommodation space S via the slit groove 48a2.

[0028] A plate-shaped partition member (partition plate) 50 is detachably connected to the left locking portion 46, the right locking portion 47, and the retraction locking portion 48. In FIG. 4, the partition member 50 has a base portion 52 extending in the left-right direction (predetermined direction). The base portion 52 has a first connecting portion (connecting portion) 55b and a second connecting portion (connecting portion) 56b at both left and right ends. In other words, the area in which the first connecting portion 55b and the second connecting portion 56b are formed is the base portion 52. In this embodiment, the part of the partition member 50 between a line L11 that passes through the lower end of the first connecting portion 55b and extends in the left-right direction, and a line L12 that passes through the upper end of the second connecting portion 56b and extends in the left-right direction is the base portion 52. The base portion 52 has a thickness in the front-rear direction (direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction). The base portion 52 can accommodate an owner's manual 59, which is an example of a booklet.

[0029] An upward extension portion 54 extending upward from the base portion 52 is formed above the base portion 52. The upward extension portion 54 expands the partition shape of the base portion 52 of the partition member 50 upward. The upward extension portion 54 expands the partition shape of the base portion 52 to a position higher than the first connection portion 55b and the second connection portion 56b. The upward extension portion 54, together with the base portion 52, constitutes a storage portion for the owner's manual 59. An insertion hole 51a that opens upward is formed in the upward extension portion 54. The owner's manual 59 can be inserted from above through the insertion hole 51a.

[0030] A downward extension portion 53 extending downward from the base portion 52 is formed below the base portion 52. The downward extension portion 53 is formed at a position lower than the first connection portion 55b and the second connection portion 56b. The downward extension portion 53 is formed below the line L12. The lower end of the downward extension portion 53 has a shape corresponding to the shape of the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 41 in the position shown in FIG.

[0031] A first engagement portion 55 that is detachably engaged with the left locking portion 46 is formed at the left end (first end in the predetermined direction) of the base portion 52. The first engagement portion 55 has a plate-shaped first support plate portion 55a that extends in the left-right direction, and a first connection portion 55b that is formed at the tip of the first support plate portion 55a and is larger in the front-rear direction than the first support plate portion 55a and has a retaining shape. A second engagement portion 56 that detachably engages with the right locking portion 47 is formed at the right end (second end in the predetermined direction) of the base portion 52. The second engagement portion 56 is formed above the first engagement portion 55. The second engagement portion 56 has a plate-shaped second support plate portion 56a that extends in the left-right direction, and a second connection portion 56b that is supported by the tip of the second support plate portion 56a and is larger in the front-rear direction than the second support plate portion 56a and has a retaining shape.

[0032] 5, the partition member 50 is connected to the left locking portion 46 by inserting the first connecting portion 55b of the first engaging portion 55 into the vertical hole 46a1 of the left locking portion 46 from above and inserting the first support plate portion 55a into the slit groove 46a2 from above. The partition member 50 is connected to the right locking portion 47 by inserting the second connecting portion 56b of the second engaging portion 56 into the vertical hole 47a1 of the right locking portion 47 from above and inserting the second support plate portion 56a into the slit groove 47a2 from above. This places the partition member 50 in the partitioning position (solid line in FIG. 5).

[0033] In the partitioning position, the partition member 50 crosses the left side wall portion 44 and the right side wall portion 45, and the storage space S is divided into front and rear portions. In the partitioning position, the downward extension portion 53 abuts against the bottom plate portion 41. The lower end of the downward extension portion 53 has a shape corresponding to the shape of the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 41. Thus, the downward extension portion 53 is configured to be able to abut against the bottom plate portion 41 over the entire left-right direction. The downward extension portion 53 is formed so that there is no gap between the bottom plate portion 41 and the downward extension portion 53.

[0034] The partition member 50 can be removed from the left and right locking portions 46, 47 by being pulled upward.

[0035] Moreover, the partition member 50 is connected to the right locking portion 47 by inserting the first connecting portion 55b from above into the vertical hole 47a1 of the right locking portion 47 and inserting the first support plate portion 55a from above into the slit groove 47a3. Moreover, the partition member 50 is connected to the retracting locking portion 48 by inserting the second connecting portion 56b from above into the vertical hole 48a1 of the retracting locking portion 48 and inserting the second support plate portion 56a from above into the slit groove 48a2. As a result, the partition member 50 is disposed in the retracted position (two-dot chain line in FIG. 5).

[0036] In the retracted position, the partition member 50 is aligned with the right side wall portion 45 and is retracted from the center of the storage space S. This makes it possible to store items by utilizing the entire front-to-rear direction of the storage space S, which is long in the front-to-rear direction. In the retracted position, the finishing extension portion 53 may abut against the bottom plate portion 41 or may be separated from it.

[0037] As shown in Fig. 4, when the partition member 50 is disposed in the partition position, a luggage light 60 that illuminates the inside of the storage space S is disposed on an extension line L0 of the partition member 50 in the longitudinal direction. In this embodiment, the luggage light 60 is provided on the left side wall portion 44. The luggage light 60 is configured to be able to illuminate the entire inside of the storage space S, as shown by the arrow L. Therefore, since the luggage light 60 is disposed on the extension line L0 of the partition member 50 even when an item such as the partition member 50 is present, it is possible to illuminate both the front and rear of the partition member 50.

[0038] The luggage light 60 has a housing 61 and a light source 62 supported by the housing 61. As shown in Fig. 3, the luggage light 60 is fixed to the left side wall portion 44 by a screw (fixing device) 63 extending downward and a screw (fixing device) 64 extending to the left.

[0039] The light source 62 of the luggage light 60 is located above the intermediate position H1 in the vertical height from the deepest position of the bottom plate portion 41 to the plane formed by the box opening 40a. In particular, in this embodiment, the light source 62 is located above the partition member 50 and the owner's manual 59. From above the intermediate position H1, the light source 62 can illuminate the interior of the storage space S, making it easy to illuminate the entire storage space S. In particular, since the light source 62 is located above the partition member 50 and can illuminate across the partition member 50 in the front-to-rear direction, it is easy to illuminate the entire storage space S even if the storage space S is long in the front-to-rear direction.

[0040] As described above, according to the first embodiment to which the present invention is applied, in a vehicle having a luggage box 40 that forms a storage space S, the storage space S having an openable and closable seat 17 on its upper surface, and a light source 62 that illuminates the inside of the storage space S, the storage space S has a maximum front-to-rear width W1 that is greater than the maximum left-to-right width W2, has a partition member 50 that divides the storage space S into front and rear, and the light source 62 is positioned on an extension line L1 of the partition member 50. According to this configuration, by providing the partition member 50 that divides the storage space S, it is possible to efficiently store items such as the helmet 100 in the storage space S that is long in the front-to-rear direction, and the inside of the storage space S divided by the partition member 50 can be entirely illuminated by the light source 62. Therefore, according to the above configuration, it is possible to provide a saddle-ride type vehicle (vehicle) 10 that can efficiently store items in the storage space S that is long in the front-to-rear direction, while efficiently illuminating the inside of the storage space S even when the partition member 50 is present as an example of an item to be stored.

[0041] In this embodiment, the vehicle is a saddle-ride type vehicle 10 as a two-wheel vehicle having at least a front wheel 13 and a rear wheel 15, and the storage space S is disposed below a seat 17, which forms a lid. According to this configuration, in the saddle-type vehicle 10 as a two-wheeled vehicle, items such as the helmet 100 can be efficiently stored in the storage space S that is long in the front-to-rear direction, and the light source 62 can efficiently illuminate the storage space S partitioned by the partition member 50.

[0042] In addition, in this embodiment, the storage space S is formed by a bottom plate portion 41, and a front wall portion 42, a rear wall portion 43, a left side wall portion 44, and a right side wall portion 45 extending upward from the bottom plate portion 41, and the partition member 50 is positioned between the left side wall portion 44 and the right side wall portion 45. According to this configuration, the partition member 50 located between the left side wall portion 44 and the right side wall portion 45 can divide the interior of the storage space S into front and rear portions.

[0043] In addition, in this embodiment, the partition member 50 has a base portion 52 extending to the left and right and equipped with a first connection portion 55b and a second connection portion 56b connected to the left and right engagement portion 46 and right engagement portion 47 provided in the storage space S, and the partition member 50 has a downward extension portion 53 extending downward from the base portion 52 and abutting the bottom plate portion 41 lower than the first connection portion 55b and the second connection portion 56b, and an upward extension portion 54 extending upward from the base portion 52 and expanding the partition plate shape to a position higher than the first connection portion 55b and the second connection portion 56b. According to this configuration, it is easy to separate the area from the bottom plate portion 41 to a position far above, and it is also easy to prevent small items from moving back and forth on the bottom plate portion 41 beyond the partition member 50.

[0044] In this embodiment, the left and right locking portions 46, 47 are provided on the left and right wall portions 44, 45. According to this configuration, the partition member 50 can completely separate the left side wall portion 44 and the right side wall portion 45, and can provide a degree of freedom in the shape of the bottom plate portion 41. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide an engagement portion for the partition member 50 on the bottom plate portion 41, and the bottom plate portion 41 can also be made flat.

[0045] In the present embodiment, the light source 62 is disposed on the left side wall portion 44 at an intermediate position H1 in the vertical height of the accommodation space S. According to this configuration, the storage space S can be easily illuminated from above, so that the entire storage space S can be easily illuminated.

[0046] In addition, in this embodiment, at least one of the left side wall portion 44 and the right side wall portion 45 is provided with a retractable engagement portion 48 to which the second connection portion 56b can be engaged, and the partition member 50 is detachably connected to the left engagement portion 46 provided on the left side wall portion 44 and the retractable engagement portion 48. According to this configuration, when the partition member 50 is connected to the retraction engagement portion 48, the partition member 50 can be arranged along at least one of the left side wall portion 44 and the right side wall portion 45, thereby making it possible to utilize the storage space S as a long space in the front-to-rear direction.

Moreover, the second right locking portion 247 is configured similarly to the right locking portion 47, except that it is formed a predetermined distance rearward from the right locking portion 47.

[0050] The third left locking portion 248 is configured similarly to the second left locking portion 246, except that it is formed a predetermined distance rearward from the second left locking portion 246. Moreover, the third right locking portion 249 is configured similarly to the second right locking portion 247, except that it is formed a predetermined distance rearward from the second right locking portion 247.

[0051] In this embodiment, the partition member 50 can be changed from a state in which it is disposed at a partition position (solid line) connected to the left and right engaging portions 46 and 47 to a state in which it is disposed at a second partition position (dashed line) connected to the second left and right engaging portions 246 and 247. In the second partition position, for example, the helmet 100 and rain gear 101 and other stored items can be stored in the front side of the partition member 50, while small items and other stored items can be stored in the rear side of the partition member 50.

[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the partition member 50 can be changed to a state in which it is arranged at a third partition position (two-dot chain line) connected to the third left locking portion 248 and the third right locking portion 249. At the third partition position, it becomes possible to store items that are long in the front-rear direction. In this embodiment, the partition member 50 can be arranged at the partition position, the second partition position, and the third partition position in the same orientation, so that the position of the partition member 50 can be easily changed.

[0053] As described above, in the second embodiment to which the present invention is applied, similarly to the first embodiment, when the partition member 50 is disposed at the partition position, the light source 62 is disposed on the extension line L1 of the partition member 50. Thus, in the second embodiment, by providing the partition member 50 that divides the storage space S, it is possible to efficiently store items such as the helmet 100 in the storage space S that is long in the front-rear direction, and the inside of the storage space S partitioned by the partition member 50 can be entirely illuminated by the light source 62. Thus, according to the above configuration, it is possible to provide a saddle-ride type vehicle 10 that can efficiently store items in the storage space S that is long in the front-rear direction, while efficiently illuminating the inside of the storage space S even with the partition member 50.

[0054] [Other embodiments] The above-described embodiment merely shows one aspect of the present invention, and any modification and application can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0055] In the above first and second embodiments, the vertical hole is illustrated as having a circular shape, and accordingly, the connecting portion is illustrated as having a cylindrical shape, but the shapes of the vertical hole and the connecting portion may be any shape, such as a rectangular shape.

[0056] In the above first and second embodiments, the extension direction of the slit groove is illustrated as being in the left-right direction or the front-to-rear direction, but it may be inclined with respect to the left-right direction or the front-to-rear direction, or may be configured to extend in any radial direction relative to the vertical hole.

[0057] In the above first embodiment, a configuration was described in which, in the retracted position, the partition member 50 has the first engagement portion 55 engaged with the right engagement portion 47 and the second engagement portion 56 engaged with the retraction engagement portion 48. However, the reverse is also possible, and the partition member 50 may have a configuration in which the first engagement portion 55 engages with the retraction engagement portion 48 and the second engagement portion 56 engages with the right engagement portion 47.

[0058] In the above-described first embodiment, it is preferable that the retraction locking portion 48 is provided, but the retraction locking portion 49 may be omitted.

[0059] In the above second embodiment, the second left and right locking portions 246 and 247, and the third left and right locking portions 248 and 249 are provided. However, these may be omitted, or fourth or more left and right locking portions may be provided. Furthermore, fourth or more left and right locking portions may be provided in front of the left and right locking portions 46 and 47.

[0060] In the above first and second embodiments, the retraction locking portion 48, the second left locking portion 246, the second right locking portion 247, the third left locking portion 248, and the third right locking portion 249 are described as being provided in the rear space S2, but they may also be provided in the front space S1.

[0061] In the above first and second embodiments, the saddle-ride type vehicle 10 having the power unit 12 as an internal combustion engine has been exemplified as the saddle-ride type vehicle 10, but is not limited thereto. For example, the saddle-ride type vehicle 10 may be a vehicle that does not have the power unit 12 as an internal combustion engine, that is, an electric vehicle. Thus, in the above embodiments, the power unit 12 has been exemplified as the power unit that drives the vehicle body, but the power unit may be a power unit equipped with an electric motor for driving.

[0062] In the above embodiment, a motorcycle having a front wheel 13 and a rear wheel 15 has been used as an example of saddle-ride vehicle 10, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention can be applied to a three-wheel saddle-ride vehicle having two front or two rear wheels, or a saddle-ride vehicle having four or more wheels.

[0063] [Configuration supported by the above embodiment] The above embodiment supports the following configurations.

[0064] (Configuration 1) A vehicle having a storage section that forms a storage space, the storage space having an openable and closable lid on the top surface, and a light that illuminates the inside of the storage space, characterized in that the storage space has a front-to-back width that is greater than its left-to-right width, has a partition plate that divides the storage space into front and rear, and the light is positioned on an extension of the partition plate. According to this configuration, by providing a partition plate that divides the storage space, it is possible to efficiently store items in the storage space that is long from front to back, and the inside of the storage space divided by the partition plate can be illuminated by the light as a whole. Therefore, according to the above configuration, it is possible to provide a vehicle that can efficiently store items in a storage space that is long from front to back, and can efficiently illuminate the storage space even when there is an item stored therein.

[0065] (Configuration 2) The vehicle described in configuration 1, wherein the vehicle is a two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicle having at least front and rear wheels, and the storage space is disposed below a seat, the seat forming the lid. According to this configuration, in a two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicle, items can be efficiently stored in a storage space that is long from front to back, and the inside of the storage space that is divided by the partition plate can be efficiently illuminated by the light.

[0066] (Configuration 3) The vehicle described in configuration 1 or 2, characterized in that the storage space is formed by a bottom plate and a front wall, a rear wall, a left side wall, and a right side wall extending upward from the bottom plate, and the partition plate is located between the left side wall and the right side wall. According to this configuration, the inside of the storage space can be divided into front and rear sections by the partition plate located between the left side wall and the right side wall.

[0067] (Configuration 4) The vehicle described in configuration 3, characterized in that the partition plate has a base portion with a connection portion extending to the left and right and connected to a locking portion provided in the storage space, and the partition plate has a downward extension portion extending downward from the base portion and abutting the bottom plate lower than the connection portion, and an upward extension portion extending upward from the base portion and expanding the partition plate shape to a position higher than the connection portion. This configuration makes it easy to separate the area from the bottom plate to a position far above, and also makes it easy to prevent small items from moving back and forth across the partition on the bottom plate.

[0068] (Configuration 5) The vehicle according to configuration 4, wherein the engaging portion is provided on the left side wall and the right side wall. With this configuration, the partition plate can completely separate the space between the left and right walls, and the shape of the bottom plate can be made flexible. Therefore, since it is not necessary to provide a locking portion for the partition plate on the bottom plate, the bottom plate can be made flat.
