The locking band 62 widens the central slit 62a through elastic deformation, allowing the umbrella portion 58b to pass to one side in the thickness direction T1. After allowing the umbrella portion 58b to pass through, the locking band 62 returns to its original shape, with the shaft portion 58a inserted into the central slit 62a. As a result, the cap member 60 including the locking band 62 is attached to the locking protrusion 58 so as to be movable along the length of the central slit 62a and unable to come off.

[0049] The connector 64 of the branch harness 64a is covered with a connector cover 65 made of, for example, rubber. The connector cover 65 is integrally provided with a cylindrical cap portion 66 with a bottom that covers the connector 64, as well as a rectangular cylindrical cover covering portion 67 with a bottom that covers the other side of the cover 55 in the length direction L1 (the cover opening 55a side). The waterproofness of the USB charger 50 is improved by attaching the cap portion 66 to the connector 64 and attaching the cover covering portion 67 to the upward-facing cover opening 55a of the cover 55.

[0050] The cover covering portion 67 covers the side surface of the cover 55 including the supported portion 57 up to one side in the length direction L1 (the USB socket 51 side), and covers the side surface of the cover 55 opposite the supported portion 57 up to the middle in the length direction L1. A first opening 67a is formed in the cover covering portion 67 at a location corresponding to the supported portion 57, allowing the supported portion 57 to protrude outside the cover covering portion 67. A second opening 67b is formed in the cover covering portion 67 at a location along the side surface opposite the supported portion 57, allowing a locking hook 59 provided on the side wall 55d on the other side in the thickness direction T1 of the cover 55 to protrude outside the cover covering portion 67.

[0051] 5, the branch harness 64a is pulled out from the bottom of the cap portion 66 to the other side in the length direction L1 of the USB charger 50 and routed along the rear surface (inner surface) of the light cowl 45. The branch harness 64a extends between the light cowl 45 and the meter device 40 from the left side of the vehicle body to the right side of the vehicle body, and is then connected to a connector 64b on the main harness side between the light cowl 45 and the meter device 40.

The support frame 70 is provided with mounting portions for various components, such as mounting portions for the light cowl 45 and the headlight 48. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 40b denotes a meter coupler that penetrates the support plate portion 71 and is connected to the meter device 40 from the front inclined surface 41b side.

[0058] 5 to 8, a support stay 75 that supports the USB charger 50 is detachably attached by bolts to the left side of the support frame 70. The support stay 75 is formed, for example, by bending a steel plate into a predetermined shape, and is fixed to the left extension plate portion 72 from below and in front. The support stay 75 includes a fastened portion 76 that abuts against the front lower surface of the extending plate portion 72 and is fastened to the extending plate portion 72 with a single bolt B1 and nut N1; a support arm portion 77 that has an appropriate plate width and extends forward in front of the fastened portion 76 and then curves left (outside in the vehicle width direction); and a stay support plate portion 78 that extends obliquely from the tip of the support arm portion 77 outward and rearward in the vehicle width direction and is disposed along the side surface of the USB charger 50 that is located on the lower side in the width direction W1. A rotation stopper 76a is provided on the outer periphery of the fastened portion 76 and is inserted into a through-hole formed at a corresponding position in the extending plate portion 72 to prevent co-rotation when the bolt is fastened. A resin molding m is attached to the edge of the support arm portion 77 facing the front of the vehicle. Note that, although the example shown in FIG. 1 illustrates an example in which the support frame 70 and the support stay 75 are originally separate entities, the support frame 70 and the support stay 75 may be integrally molded components.

[0059] The support stay 75 also includes a first opposing plate portion 78a that bends upward and extends from the side edge of the stay support plate portion 78 on the inner side in the vehicle width direction at the rear, and is arranged along the rear of the side surface of the USB charger 50 that faces inward in the vehicle width direction and rearward in the thickness direction T1 (the side surface that has the supported portion 57), a second opposing plate portion 78b that bends upward and extends from the outer side extension of the stay support plate portion 78 in the vehicle width direction and is arranged along the lower part of the side surface that faces outward in the vehicle width direction and forward in the thickness direction T1 of the USB charger 50, and a stay locking plate portion 79 that extends forward from the first opposing plate portion 78a and is arranged along the side surface that has the supported portion 57 in the thickness direction T1 of the USB charger 50.

[0060] The stay locking plate portion 79 is inserted into the insertion space 57c of the supported portion 57 of the cover 55 from one side in the length direction L1 toward the other side in the length direction L1. The stay locking plate portion 79 has a notch 79a formed on the inner side in the plate width direction so as to have, for example, a U-shape that opens toward the other side in the length direction L1. By inserting the stay locking plate portion 79 into the supported portion 57, the charger assembly 50A is supported by the support stay 75. A pair of locking claws 79b that protrude outward in the plate width direction are provided on both sides of the tip of the stay locking plate portion 79 on the other side in the length direction L1. When the stay locking plate portion 79 is inserted into the supported portion 57, these pair of locking claws 79b function as retainers that engage with the ends of the pair of legs 57b of the supported portion 57, respectively.

[0061] As shown in FIG. 3 , the mounting structure for the USB charger 50 in the first embodiment includes a restricting portion that restricts movement of the USB charger 50 in the direction of removing the USB charger 50 from the support stay 75. The restricting portion in the first embodiment is configured by the inner rib 47g of the light cowl 45. When the USB charger 50 is mounted, the distance La in the length direction (insertion / removal direction) L1 between the USB charger 50 and the inner rib 47g is shorter than the distance Lb required to remove the stay locking plate portion 79 from the supported portion 57. Therefore, even if an attempt is made to simply remove the USB charger 50 from the completed vehicle, the USB charger 50 cannot be removed because the inner rib 47g of the light cowl 45 interferes, thereby improving the anti-theft properties of the USB charger 50.

[0062] As described above, the motorcycle 1 in the above embodiment is a saddle-ride type vehicle equipped with a meter device 40 that displays vehicle information, a light cowl 45 that is arranged in front of the meter device 40 and overlaps with the meter device 40 in a front view of the vehicle, and a USB charger 50 that has a connection port 51a that can be connected to an external device, the USB charger 50 being arranged between the rear end P1 of the meter device 40 and the front end P2 of the light cowl 45 in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle and outboard of the outer edge 41e of the meter device 40 in the vehicle width direction, the meter device 40 and the light cowl 45 being fixed to the vehicle body via the same support frame 70, and the USB charger 50 being fixed to the support frame 70.

[0063] According to this configuration, the USB charger 50 is disposed between the meter device 40 and the light cowl 45 in the vehicle longitudinal direction and outboard of the meter device 40 in the vehicle width direction, which provides the following advantages: The USB charger 50 is hidden by the light cowl 45, improving the appearance from the front of the vehicle and allowing the USB charger 50 to be provided in a position that is easily visible to the driver. In addition, the USB charger 50 can be fixed to the vehicle body using a common support frame 70 that supports the meter device 40 and the light cowl 45 without requiring a separate fixing bracket. This allows the USB charger 50 to be provided without increasing the number of parts, and allows the USB charger 50 to be provided efficiently and compactly around the meter device 40 and the light cowl 45.

[0064] In the motorcycle 1, at least a portion of the USB charger 50 overlaps with the meter device 40 in a side view of the vehicle. According to this configuration, by arranging the USB charger 50 and the meter device 40 so that they overlap each other in a side view, the USB charger 50 can be arranged around the meter device 40 while keeping the area around the USB charger 50 and the meter device 40 compact in the fore-and-aft and up-and-down directions of the vehicle.

[0065] In the motorcycle 1, the connection port 51a of the USB charger 50 is disposed inside the outer side 47b of the light cowl 45 in the vehicle width direction when viewed from above the vehicle.

[0067] The motorcycle 1 is provided with a restricting portion (inner rib 47g) that restricts movement of the USB charger 50 in a direction in which the USB charger 50 is removed from the support stay 75. According to this configuration, by restricting movement of the USB charger 50 in the direction of removing the USB charger 50 from the support stay 75, it becomes difficult to remove the USB charger 50 from the vehicle, and the theft prevention properties of the USB charger 50 itself can be improved.

[0068] In the motorcycle 1, the outer side edge 41e of the meter device 40 on the outer side in the vehicle width direction is inclined so as to be positioned further outward in the vehicle width direction toward the rear of the vehicle when viewed from above, and the USB charger 50 positioned further outward in the vehicle width direction than the meter device 40 is inclined so as to be positioned further outward in the vehicle width direction toward the rear of the vehicle when viewed from above. According to this configuration, both the outer edge 41e of the meter device 40 and the insertion / removal direction L1 of the USB charger 50 are inclined so that they are positioned further outward in the vehicle width direction as they approach the rear of the vehicle, so that the USB charger 50 is positioned along the outer edge 41e of the meter device 40 (so that it is parallel to the outer edge 41e), making it easier to insert and remove the cable CA of the external device into the USB charger 50.

[0069] In the motorcycle 1, the restricting portion is provided on the light cowl 45. According to this configuration, a restricting portion that restricts removal of the USB charger 50 is provided on the light cowl 45, thereby improving the anti-theft performance of the USB charger 50 itself without increasing the number of parts.

[0070] In the motorcycle 1, the USB charger 50 is located below the upper end P3 of the meter device 40 in the vertical direction of the vehicle when viewed from the side of the vehicle, and at least a portion of the USB charger 50 is arranged on the side facing upward and rearward of the vehicle in the normal direction V1 of the display surface 42 of the meter device 40, with the display surface 42 of the meter device 40 as a reference. According to this configuration, by positioning the USB charger 50 below the upper end P3 of the meter device 40, the USB charger 50 can be protected from disturbances from above without the need for additional components, and by positioning the USB charger 50 above and behind the display surface 42, the USB charger 50 is closer to the occupant, improving user accessibility.

[0071] In the motorcycle 1, at least a part of the connection port 51a of the USB charger 50 is disposed on the upper rear side in the normal direction V1 of the display surface 42 in a side view of the vehicle. According to this configuration, the connection port 51a of the USB charger 50 is positioned on the upper rear side of the display surface 42, so that the connection port 51a is located closer to the occupant than the display surface 42, thereby improving the visibility of the connection port 51a and its accessibility to the user.

[0072] In the motorcycle 1, the USB charger 50 is connected to a harness 64a that connects to an on-board power source. The harness 64a is routed in the vehicle width direction along the rear surface of the light cowl 45, and then joined to another harness in front of the meter device 40. According to this configuration, the harness 64a connecting the USB charger 50 and the power source extends in the vehicle width direction between the light cowl 45 and the meter device 40 and is connected to another harness in front of the meter device 40, thereby making it possible to effectively utilize the limited space in a saddle-type vehicle and route the power source harness 64a connected to the USB charger 50.

[0094] Hereinafter, when viewing the charger body 53 from the thickness direction T1, the direction perpendicular to the first side 53a and the second side 53b will be referred to as the length direction L1, and the direction along the first side 53a and the second side 53b will be referred to as the width direction W1. The USB socket 51 protrudes from the first side 53a to one side in the length direction L1 and allows the USB terminal CB of an external device to be inserted and removed along the length direction L1. The length direction L1 is also the insertion and removal direction of the USB terminal CB. The coupler 54 protrudes from the second side 53b to the other side in the length direction L1 and allows the USB terminal CB to be inserted and removed along the length direction L1.

[0095] In a plan view, the USB charger 50 is disposed at an incline such that a reference line L2 along the length direction (insertion / removal direction) L1 is positioned outward in the vehicle width direction toward the rear of the vehicle. In a side view, the USB charger 50 is disposed at an incline such that a reference line L2 along the length direction (insertion / removal direction) L1 is positioned downward toward the rear of the vehicle (see FIG. 10).

[0096] Cover 155 is attached to charger body 53 from one side in the length direction L1 (USB socket 51 side). Cover 155 has a bottomed, square cylindrical shape with a cover opening 55a on the other side in the length direction L1. An opening (not shown) is formed in bottom 55b of cover 155 to allow USB socket 51 to pass through, and a collar 56 is provided to surround the outer periphery of USB socket 51 protruding from the opening.

[0097] A supported portion 157 is provided on the outer surface of a side wall 55c on one side of the cover 155 in the thickness direction T1. The supported portion 157 is rectangular and slightly smaller than the side wall 55c when viewed in the thickness direction T1. The supported portion 157 includes a displacement plate portion 157a that is parallel to the side wall 55c and spaced apart from the outside of the side wall 55c, and a pair of legs 157b that bend from both ends of the displacement plate portion 157a in the length direction L1 toward the side wall 55c and connect to the side wall 55c. The supported portion 157 forms an insertion space 157c into which the stay engagement plate portion 179 is inserted and removed in the width direction W1. The cover 155 includes a supported portion 157 that is oriented differently from the cover 55 of the first embodiment. Charger assembly 150A is supported by support stay 175 by inserting stay locking plate portion 179 into supported portion 157.

[0098] A locking projection 58 for locking a locking band 62 of the cap member 60 is formed on the outer side of the displacement plate portion 157a of the supported portion 157. The cap member 60 includes a cylindrical cap body 61 with a bottom that fits over the collar of the cover 155, and a locking band 62 extending radially from one radial side of the cap body 61. A central slit 62a that is long in the band length direction is formed in the center of the band width direction of the locking band 62. The locking projection 58 includes a shaft portion 58a that protrudes to one side in the thickness direction T1, and a head portion 58b that is formed with an expanded diameter at the tip of the shaft portion 58a.

[0099] The width of the central slit 62a of the locking band 62 is the same as or slightly wider than the outer diameter of the shaft portion 58a and narrower than the outer diameter of the umbrella portion 58b. The cap member 60 including the locking band 62 is made of an elastic material such as rubber. The locking band 62 widens the central slit 62a through elastic deformation, allowing the umbrella portion 58b to pass to one side in the thickness direction T1. After the umbrella portion 58b has passed through, the locking band 62 returns to its original elastic deformation, allowing the shaft portion 58a to fit into the central slit 62a. As a result, the cap member 60 including the locking band 62 is attached to the locking protrusion 58 so that it can move along the length of the central slit 62a but cannot fall off.

[0100] The connector 64 of the branch harness 64a is covered with, for example, a rubber connector cover 65. The connector cover 65 is integrally provided with a cylindrical cap portion 66 with a bottom that covers the connector 64, as well as a rectangular cylindrical cover covering portion 67 with a bottom that covers the other side of the cover 155 in the length direction L1 (the cover opening 55a side). The USB charger 50 has improved waterproofing properties by attaching the cap portion 66 to the connector 64 and attaching the cover covering portion 67 to the upward-facing cover opening 55a of the cover 155.

[0101] The cover covering portion 67 covers the side surface of the cover 155 including the supported portion 157 up to one side in the length direction L1 (the USB socket 51 side), and covers the side surface of the cover 155 opposite the supported portion 157 up to the middle in the length direction L1. A first opening 67a is formed in the cover covering portion 67 at a location corresponding to the supported portion 157, allowing the supported portion 157 to protrude outside the cover covering portion 67. A second opening 67b is formed in the cover covering portion 67 at a location along the side surface opposite the supported portion 157, allowing a locking hook 59 provided on the side wall 55d on the other side in the thickness direction T1 of the cover 155 to be inserted and protrude outside the cover covering portion 67.

[0102] The branch harness 64a is pulled out from the bottom of the cap portion 66 to the other side in the length direction L1 of the USB charger 50 (upward in the second embodiment), and then folded back to the other side (downward) in the length direction L1 and fixed with wiring tape or the like. The branch harness 64a folded back to the other side (downward) in the length direction L1 extends downward on the front side of the USB charger 50 and is connected to a connector (not shown) on the main harness side. A tip portion 179c of the stay locking plate portion 179 that has passed through the supported portion 157 is disposed in front of the USB charger 50, and the branch harness 64a is held by this tip portion 179c via a resin clip 64c.
