[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2013-087862 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, when electronic devices are installed in a saddle-ride vehicle, vibrations from the ground are directly transmitted to the electronic devices, causing the handlebars and other parts to shake while driving, resulting in poor visibility when looking at the electronic devices and making it difficult to recognize maps and the like at a glance. When the visibility of electronic devices becomes poor in this way, users may stare at the electronic device in an attempt to obtain information, which may ultimately lead to accidents.

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a safe and convenient mounting fixture that can maintain visibility even when vibrations are transmitted, and a vibration absorbing device that can be used therewith. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a vibration absorbing device that is provided between an attachment portion to which an electronic device can be attached and a support portion that supports the attachment portion, the vibration absorbing device comprising a plate-shaped plate portion and a damper portion provided on the plate portion, the damper portion being a hollow elastic member having an opening on its bottom surface, a through portion that penetrates the plate portion, and a cushion portion that is provided in abutment with the plate portion and has flexibility that allows it to deform at least in a direction toward the plate portion. This makes it possible to provide a vibration absorbing device that can be used for a safe and convenient mounting fixture, which can maintain visibility even when vibrations are transmitted due to deformation of the damper portion.

[0007] Preferably, the plate portion has a hole into which the damper portion penetrates, and the damper portion has a narrowed portion and supports the hole by sandwiching it. This allows the damper section to be firmly held in an optimal position relative to the mounting fixture, improving vibration absorption performance and increasing safety and convenience.

[0008] Preferably, the damper portion is airtight except for the opening, has a flat bottom surface, and has a protruding ring that protrudes in the inner circumferential direction of the opening and abuts against the mounting portion. This maintains airtightness inside the damper section and further improves vibration absorption performance through the air cushion action.

[0009] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a mounting portion to which an electronic device can be attached, and a vibration absorbing device provided between the mounting portion and a support that supports the mounting portion, wherein the vibration absorbing device has a plate-shaped plate portion and a damper portion provided on the plate portion, the damper portion being a hollow elastic member having an opening on its bottom surface, and including a through portion that penetrates and fixes the plate portion, and a cushion portion that is provided in abutment with the plate portion and has flexibility such that it can deform at least in a direction toward the plate portion, the mounting portion has a mounting portion main body to which the electronic device is attached, and the vibration absorbing device is a mounting device provided on the surface of the mounting portion main body that faces the surface to which the electronic device is attached. This makes it possible to provide a safe and convenient mounting fixture that can maintain visibility even if vibrations are transmitted due to deformation of the damper portion.

[0010] Preferably, the damper portion is airtight except for the opening, has a flat bottom surface, and has an extension ring that extends in the inner circumferential direction of the opening and abuts against the mounting portion, and the periphery of the protrusion on the mounting portion main body is arranged so as to be flat. This maintains airtightness inside the damper section and further improves vibration absorption performance through the air cushion action.

[0011] Preferably, the mounting portion main body further has a protrusion that can be inserted into the damper portion, and the protrusion has a protrusion main body that protrudes from the mounting portion main body and has an outer diameter smaller than the opening, and a mating portion that is provided at an end of the protrusion main body and mated with the upper end of the inner surface of the damper portion. This allows the initial position of the vibration absorber relative to the mounting portion to be determined, and makes it possible to maintain the vibration absorbing effect even if vibrations occur continuously.

[0012] Preferably, a pressing mechanism is provided between the plate portion and the fixture body for applying a pressing force toward an internal mechanism of the fixture body. This makes it possible to effectively utilize the space between the mounting portion main body and the plate portion created by the cushion portion. Effect of the Invention

[0013] The present invention, which solves the above problems, can provide a safe and convenient mounting fixture that can maintain visibility even when vibrations are transmitted, and a vibration absorber that can be used therewith. [Brief description of the drawings]

In the rear attachment portion 1B, at least the portion around the base of the protrusion main body 112, which is centered on the base, is flat in an area larger than the diameter of the opening 321.

[0025] As shown in Fig. 4, the protrusion main body 112 is a rectangular column mounting part having a rectangular column-shaped base. This rectangular column mounting part 118 is non-rotatably fitted to a corresponding part (part indicated by the same reference numeral 118 in Fig. 3) provided on the rear mounting part 1B, the inner peripheral surface of which has substantially the same shape as the rectangular column mounting part 118. Furthermore, a screw hole for fitting a bolt is provided at the center of the rectangular column mounting part 118 provided on the mounting part main body 11, and the rectangular column mounting part 118 is fixed via a bolt V penetrating the rear mounting part 1B, so that the rectangular column mounting part 118 cannot be attached or detached from the outside. In this embodiment, the rectangular column part is a hexagonal nut joined to the protrusion main body 112.

[0026] The engagement portion 113 is an ellipsoidal spherical member integrally provided on the upper end of the protrusion main body 112, and engages with the damper portion 32 described below. In this embodiment, the maximum diameter of the engagement portion 113 is perpendicular to the protrusion direction of the protrusion main body 112 and is 10 mm to 15 mm, which is about 1.5 to 2 times the diameter of the protrusion main body 112. The minimum diameter is parallel to the protrusion direction and is about 4 mm to 8 mm.

[0027] The operation support part 114 is a protruding part that engages the operation body 17 and has a substantially circular outer periphery to rotatably engage the operation body 17. The operation restricting part 115 is a protruding part that is provided on the outer periphery of the operation support part 114 and restricts the rotation angle of the operation body 17.

The first clamping portion 121 is provided so as to protrude from at least the front surface of the front mounting portion 1A, and includes a side clamping portion that abuts against one side of the electronic device E to clamp it, and a corner clamping portion that abuts against both ends of the side clamping portion to cover and clamp the corners of the electronic device E. The inside of the first clamping portion 121 is provided with an elastic material that acts as an anti-slip material, and the elastic material has a linear protruding pattern that acts as an anti-slip material (not shown). The side clamping portion has a pattern parallel to the abutting side to restrict the movement of the electronic device E in the front-rear direction, and the corner clamping portion has a pattern perpendicular to the abutting side to restrict the movement in the left-right direction.

[0032] The first sliding parts 122 are two cylindrical members protruding from the inside to the outside of the mounting body 11, and are made of metal in this embodiment. One end of the first sliding part 122 is connected to the first clamping part 121, and the other end is fixed to the first rack 123. In addition, holes into which the first sliding parts 122 can be inserted are formed at the upper and lower ends of the mounting body 11, and the first sliding parts 122 protrude through these holes.

[0033] The first rack 123 is integrally formed by a member that is engaged and fixed to the two first sliding parts 122 and a plate-like member that is disposed between the members and has a slotted hole cut out at the center. The plate-like member of the first rack 123 is disposed behind the central axis of the first sliding parts 122, thereby preventing interference with the second clamping body 13. The width of the cutout is at least larger than the maximum diameter of the pinion gear 14.

[0034] The first meshing portion 124 is provided on one side of the inner surface of the portion hollowed out by the first rack 123 so as to mesh with the pinion gear 14, and the pinion gear 14 rotates in accordance with the up and down movement of the first clamping body 12, and the first clamping body 12 moves up and down in accordance with the rotation of the pinion gear 14.

[0035] The pressed portion 125 is a portion in which a plurality of teeth extending in parallel in the left-right direction are arranged at equal intervals in the up-down direction on the rear surface of the first rack 123. In the embodiment, two pressed portions 125 are provided in parallel. The pressed portion 125 is provided so that a portion of the pressed portion 125 is always exposed to the outside of the mounting portion main body 11 via the press fitting portion 116.

[0036] The second clamping body 13 has a second clamping portion 131 which has approximately the same configuration as the first clamping portion 121, a second sliding portion 132 which has approximately the same configuration as the first sliding portion 122, a second rack 133 which slides inside the mounting portion main body 11, a second meshing portion 134 which is provided on the inner surface of the cutout opposite the first meshing portion 124, and a tension spring 135 which biases the second clamping body 13 toward the inside of the mounting portion main body 11.

[0037] The second rack 133 is integrally formed with a member that is engaged and fixed to the two first sliding parts 122 and a plate-like member that is placed between the members and has a long hole cut out in the center, and a part that can fix the tension spring 135 is provided adjacent to the member that is engaged and fixed. Furthermore, the plate-like member of the second rack 133 is provided forward of the central axis of the second sliding portion 132, thereby preventing interference with the first clamping body 12. The front surface of the second rack 133 may be provided with a restricting means that is slidably fitted into a rail member provided on the rear surface of the front mounting portion 1A and restricts movement in directions other than the up and down directions. A protrusion or a bearing may be used as the restricting means.

[0038] The tension spring 135 is a member having one end fixed to the second rack 133 and the other end fixed to the spring fixing portion 1A2, and biases the second clamping portion 131 in a direction in which it abuts against the attachment portion main body 11.

[0039] The pinion gear 14 has a central axis rotatably supported by the shaft support portion 1A1, and is a portion that meshes with a first meshing portion 124 and a second meshing portion 134 that are different in height. This allows the first clamping body 12 and the second clamping body 13 to expand and contract in cooperation with each other, making it easier to install and simplifying the structure.

[0040] 5, and is fitted into the press-fitting portion 116 to press the pressed portion 125. The pressing body 15 has a pressing body main body 150 which is a plate-shaped main body having an outer periphery substantially identical to that of the press-fitting portion 116, a pressing portion 151 which actually presses the pressed portion 125, a protrusion portion 152 which receives an input from the operating body 17 and enables the pressing body 15 to move back and forth, and a spring support portion 153 which receives the action of the pressing spring 16 and moves the pressing body 15 away from the pressed portion 125. Fig. 5(a) is a bottom view, Fig. 5(b) is a plan view, Fig. 5(c) is a front view seen from the rear, Fig. 5(d) is a rear view, and Fig. 5(e) is a side view. A schematic cross-sectional view of the action of the pressing body 15 is shown in Fig. 6.

[0041] The surface of the pressing body main body 150 facing forward is arranged so as to be substantially flush with the rear surface of the rear attachment portion 1B when fitted into the press-fitting portion 116, thereby saving space.

[0042] The pressing portion 151 is a rectangular parallelepiped protruding portion provided on the back side of the pressing body main body 150, and its end face is provided with teeth of approximately the same shape as the teeth provided on the pressed portion 125. These teeth mesh when the pressed portion 125 is pressed, so that the up and down movement of the first clamping body 12 is stopped.

[0043] The protrusion 152 is a semi-cylindrical protruding portion provided on the front side of the pressing body main body 150, and in this embodiment, two protrusions are provided so as to incline from the end toward the spring support portion 153 when viewed from the front.

[0044] The spring support part 153 protrudes from the front side of the pressing body main body 150, and is provided in a hood shape that covers at least the end of the pressing spring 16 on the flat side. The protruding height to the front side is set to be approximately the same as the protruding height of the operation support part 114, and the outer circumferential surface is arranged to be part of a circle formed by the outer periphery of the operation support part 114 when attached.

[0045] The compression spring 16 is a part that is attached so as to engage with the insertion part provided directly below the pressure fitting part 116, and when the pressing body 15 is not pressed, it presses the spring support part 153 from the rear side of the pressing body 15 so that the pressing part 151 and the pressed part 125 are separated.

[0046] 7, the operating body 17 is a member provided between the vibration absorbing part 3 and the back side mounting part 1B. The operating body 17 has a rotating part 171 that is fitted into the outer periphery of the operation support part 114 and rotatably provided, an action part 172 that converts the rotation into an up and down action, a rotation regulating part 173 that regulates the range of rotation, and an operating part 174 that allows the user to apply a rotational action to the operating body 17. 7(a) is a front view of the attached operation body 17 as seen from the rear direction, FIG. 7(b) is a rear view, and FIG. 7(c) is a bottom view.

[0047] The rotating part 171 is a ring-shaped part, and the operation support part 114 and the spring support part 153 are fitted to the inner circumference, and a disk-shaped member that restricts movement in the front-rear direction is attached from the rear side, so that the rotating part 171 is supported and fixed so as to be rotatable with respect to the mounting part main body 11. The disk-shaped member is attached to the back side mounting part 1B via a screw hole H so as not to be rotatable.

[0048] The action portion 172 is provided on the back surface of the operating body 17, and is a portion cut out to form a recess of a predetermined depth. The cutout is made to be gentle in a clockwise direction along the circumferential surface, and the cutout rises sharply at the position where the thickness of the operating body 17 is at its minimum. In the embodiment, two action portions 172 are provided, and the interval between them is approximately equal to a constant multiple of the interval at which the protrusions 152 are provided, thereby improving the stability of control. This controls the vertical movement of the pressing body 15. That is, when the protruding portion 152 is located at the acting portion 172, the pressing body 15 is not pressed, and when the protruding portion 152 is located somewhere other than the acting portion 172, the pressing body 15 is pressed against the back side of the operating body 17 via the protruding portion 152.

[0049] The rotation restricting portion 173 is a notch provided from the inner circumferential surface of the rotating portion 171 toward the outside, and within the range of the notch, the rotation restricting portion 171 can freely rotate without coming into contact with the operation restricting portion 115. The length of the notch is provided to be approximately the same as or slightly longer than the length of the acting portion 172, and when the end of the rotation restricting portion 173 comes into contact with the operation restricting portion 115, the protrusion portion 152 is arranged at a position where the depth of the cutout of the acting portion 172 is approximately maximum or at a position where the rear surface of the rotating portion 171 comes into contact. This allows the release / setting of the pressure when the operating body 17 is changed to the maximum, allowing intuitive operation.

[0050] The operating part 174 is a member that protrudes from the outer circumferential surface of the rotating part 171 and is provided integrally therewith, and is provided so that the distance from the center of the rotating part is greater than half the left-right width of the attachment part main body 11. This reduces the moment force required for rotation, making it easier to operate. In the embodiment, in order to further improve operability, anti-slip irregularities are provided on the side surface of the operating part 174.

[0051] The support portion 2 is a member provided behind the attachment X, and enables the attachment X to be attached to a pipe-shaped member such as the handle of a saddle-ride vehicle.

[0052] The vibration absorbing part 3 is a member attached between the attachment part 1 and the support part 2, and serves to absorb impact from the support part 2. The vibration absorbing part 3 has a plate part 31 having a rigidity at least sufficient to not deform even when subjected to vibration, a damper part 32 that absorbs vibration of the plate part 31, a spacing screw 33 for connecting to the attachment part 1 at a distance, and a support body 34 for connecting to the support part 2.

[0053] As shown in Figure 8, the plate portion 31 is a plate-shaped member that is connectable between the mounting portion 1 and the support portion 2, and has a plate portion main body 311, a hole portion 312 for mounting the damper portion 32, and a spacing screw hole 314 for mounting the spacing screw 33.

[0054] The plate part main body 311 is a plate-like member that is attached parallel to the surface of the rear side mounting part 1B, and as shown in Fig. 8, its front area is smaller than that of the mounting part main body 11, and when attached, the entirety is arranged inside the mounting part main body 11 in a front view. This makes the vibration absorber invisible when viewed from the front, resulting in a neater design.

[0055] In addition, the plate portion main body 311 is configured so that it has a constriction in the left-right direction and a protrusion in the up-down direction, thereby providing six protrusions at the center, and each protrusion has a hole portion 312 and a spaced screw hole 314.

[0056] Moreover, the plate section main body 311 is provided so as to be convex as a whole toward the support body 34, thereby ensuring a gap near the center for providing the pressing mechanism P. Furthermore, on the back surface of the plate section main body 311, plate-shaped reinforcing members are provided extending from the portion where the support body 34 is attached toward each hole, thereby maintaining strength.

[0057] The holes 312 are holes that penetrate the plate body 311 in the front-rear direction, and four of them are arranged on the protrusions provided in the left-right direction of the plate body 311. The holes 312 are provided close to the side end of the plate body 311, thereby increasing the moment force due to vibration related to each damper part 32, making it easier to absorb vibration. The diameter of the holes 312 is larger than the upper end of the damper part 32 and smaller than the lower end. This allows the holes 312 to support and penetrate the damper parts 32.

[0058] The hole protrusion 313 is a part that protrudes toward the inner circumference at the end face on the back side (front surface) of the hole 312 and has a rigidity that does not easily deform. The length of the protrusion is about 1 mm to 2 mm, and the height of the protrusion is at least smaller than the height of the hole 312, preferably about 2 to 5 mm. The diameter of the hole protrusion 313 is larger than the outer diameter of the protrusion main body 112 or the diameter of the fitting portion 113, which makes it easy to attach. Furthermore, when attached, the hole protrusion 313 and the protrusion main body 112 are provided on the same plane, which allows the plate portion 31 to move parallel to the plane.

[0059] The spacing screw hole 314 is a hole that penetrates the plate portion main body 311 in the front-rear direction, and passes the spacing screw 33. Similarly to the hole protrusion 313, a spacing protrusion 315 is provided, and the length from the spacing screw hole 314 to the inner peripheral surface of the protrusion is made shorter than the diameter of the disk material 331 so that they come into contact with each other.

[0060] The inner diameter of spacing protrusion 315 is set to be larger than at least the shaft diameter of spacing screw 33. Preferably, the distance from the shaft of spacing screw 33 to spacing protrusion 315 is set to be larger than the protrusion width of cushion portion 324 with respect to constricted portion 323, which will be described later, so as not to inhibit deformation of cushion portion 324.

[0061] The damper section 32 is a hollow elastic member that is provided as a single unit and has a shape shown in Fig. 4. The damper section 32 has an opening 321 that opens at the bottom surface, a through-hole 322 that penetrates the plate section main body 311 through the hole 312, a constricted section 323 for fitting and fixing the plate section main body 311, a cushion section 324 that is provided between the plate section main body 311 and the attachment section main body 11 and absorbs impact from the plate section main body 311, and a protruding ring 325 that protrudes from the bottom surface of the opening 321 toward the inner circumferential surface.

[0062] Opening 321 is an opening that leads to a hollow portion inside damper portion 32. The outer diameter of opening 321 is at least larger than the inner diameter of hole protruding portion 313, and is preferably substantially the same as or larger than the diameter of hole portion 312 so as not to penetrate hole portion 312. The inner diameter of opening 321 is set to be at least larger than the diameters of engagement portion 113 in the up, down, left and right directions, thereby enabling projection portion 111 to be engaged.

[0063] The through portion 322 is provided so as to have a substantially hemispherical shape with an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of the hole protruding portion 313 and smaller than the inner diameter of the hole portion 312, and its upper end protrudes from the plate portion main body 311. As shown in Fig. 9, which is an AA cross section of the plate portion 31 attached to the attachment portion main body 11, the through portion 322 has a space therein having substantially the same shape as the mating portion 113, and the mating portion 113 is mated with this space.

[0064] The constricted portion 323 is a ring-shaped portion having a narrower outer diameter that is provided between the through portion 322 and the cushion portion 324. The outer diameter of the constricted portion 323 is approximately the same as the inner diameter of the hole flaring portion 313, so that the constricted portion 323 is fitted into the hole flaring portion 313 and is flat. The end face of the through portion 322 and the end face of the cushion portion 324 abut against and support the hole flaring portion 313 so as to sandwich the hole flaring portion 313, thereby determining the position of the plate portion 31 relative to the damper portion 32.

[0065] Cushion portion 324 is a ring-shaped portion having a substantially U-shaped cross section, one end of which abuts against plate portion main body 311 and the other end of which abuts against mounting portion main body 11 as protruding ring 325. Cushion portion 324 is flexible, and the relative position of the end abutting against plate portion main body 311 with respect to the end abutting against mounting portion main body 11 can be freely changed within the range of deformation of the ring-shaped member connecting the two portions. In other words, cushion portion 324 is deformable toward plate portion main body 311, and the relative position of plate portion 31 with respect to mounting portion main body 11 can be freely changed.

[0066] The protruding ring 325 is a part that protrudes inwardly from the end face of the opening 321 and has a flat bottom surface that abuts against the mounting body 11, and uses its elasticity to airtightly close the opening 321. Since the damper part 32 is provided airtight except for the opening 321, air is accumulated inside the damper part 32.

[0067] The spacing screw 33 is a member for determining and fixing the maximum spacing distance between the mounting portion main body 11 and the plate portion main body 311, and has a shaft portion 330, a disk material 331 which is a disk-shaped portion provided midway along the shaft portion 330, and a screw head 332 which is a member provided at the end of the shaft portion 330.

[0068] One end of shaft portion 330 is screwed into a screw hole provided in spaced screw attachment portion 117, and the other end is provided with screw head 332. Since the diameter of shaft portion 330 is smaller than the diameter of spaced protrusion portion 315, plate portion main body 311 is movable in a direction perpendicular to shaft portion 330.

[0069] The disk material 331 is a portion provided midway through the spacing screw 33, and is fixed at a predetermined position on the shaft portion 330. The disk material 331 abuts against the spacing screw mounting portion 117 to keep the distance from the mounting portion main body 11 to the screw head 332 constant, and determines the maximum displacement of the plate portion main body 311.

[0070] The screw head 332 is provided at the end of the spaced screw 33, and its diameter is at least larger than the inner diameter of the spaced protrusion 315 and smaller than the inner diameter of the spaced screw hole 314. The difference in diameter between the screw head 332 and the spaced screw hole 314 is set to be approximately the same as the difference in diameter between the shaft portion 330 and the spaced protrusion 315, so as not to impede the movement of the cushion portion 324.

[0071] 9, the height of cushion section 324 is set to be approximately the same as the distance between mounting section main body 11 and plate section main body 311, and this distance is also set to be approximately the same as the difference between the distance from mounting section main body 11 to screw head 332 and the thickness of plate section main body 311. This allows flat mounting section main body 11 and protruding ring 325 to always come into contact with each other, making the inside of the attached damper section 32 airtight.

[0072] The support body 34 is a member provided so as to protrude rearward from the center of the plate portion main body 311, and is provided as a ball joint in this embodiment.

[0073] A method for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The present invention is carried out by a user who uses an electronic device E by attaching it to a mounting fixture X provided with a vibration absorber 3. The method for carrying out the present invention shown below is an example, and the method for carrying out the present invention is not limited to this, and the order of the steps may be changed.

[0074] First, the user attaches the support part 2 to the handlebar of the saddle riding vehicle, and then attaches the support body 34 protruding from the attachment tool X to the support part 2.

[0075] Next, the user attaches the electronic device E to the attachment portion 1. The user rotates the operating body 17 to release the pressure of the pressing body 15 and slide either the first clamping body 12 or the second clamping body 13 in a direction away from the attachment portion main body 11, thereby widening the distance between the clamping bodies.

[0076] After that, the user inserts the electronic device E between the expanded clamping bodies and releases the force applied in the direction to expand the clamping bodies. Then, the tension spring 135 and the pinion gear 14 act, so that the first clamping body 12 and the second clamping body 13 act in a direction to press the electronic device E, and the electronic device E is clamped.

[0077] After that, the user rotates the operating part 174 to a position where the pressing part 151 presses the pressed part 125. This restricts the up and down movement of the pressed part 125, and prevents the first sliding part 122 and the second sliding part 132 from moving as shown in FIG. 6, thereby enabling the electronic device E to be firmly fixed.

[0078] The user operates the saddle-ride vehicle. At this time, vibrations are transmitted to the vibration absorber 3 through the support part 2, but the multiple damper parts 32 elastically deform, and the distance and angle of the plate part main body 311 relative to the mounting part main body 11 changes, absorbing the vibrations, making the mounting part 1 less likely to vibrate. Here, the damper parts 32 become airtight, suppressing sudden elastic deformation due to the compressibility of the air inside, and improving vibration absorption. [Explanation of symbols]
