DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0018] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the following description, the same or similar components are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted or simplified.

[0019] 1 is a diagram showing a state in which a motorcycle storage device according to one embodiment of the present invention is attached to a motorcycle. In the following description, in a state in which the motorcycle storage device 1 is attached to a motorcycle 100, the front side of the motorcycle 100 is referred to as the "front" and the rear side of the motorcycle 100 is referred to as the "rear".

[0020] The storage device 1 for a two-wheeled vehicle is attached to a two-wheeled vehicle 100 (for example, a motorcycle, a bicycle, or the like) that includes a front seat 110 and a rear seat 120 disposed behind the front seat 110.

[0021] FIG. 2 is a side view of a motorcycle storage device according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a rear view of the motorcycle storage device according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a front view of a motorcycle storage device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0022] The motorcycle storage tool 1 includes a fixing part 10 and a storage part 20. The motorcycle storage tool 1 is formed, for example, from FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastics), but can be formed from any material, such as carbon.

[0023] The fixing portion 10 is detachably fixed to a two-wheeled vehicle 100 (see FIG. 1) and supports the storage portion 20. As shown in FIG. 1, the fixed portion 10 includes a base portion 11 extending to surround a front seat 110 and a rear seat 120, and a backrest portion 12 extending from the base portion 11 obliquely upward and rearward.

[0024] The base portion 11 is formed in a ring shape when viewed from above, with its front end hooked onto the front side surface of the front seat 110 and its rear end hooked onto the rear side surface of the rear seat 120. The base portion 11 may also be formed so that the width (height) of the front end side as viewed from the front is larger than other portions. This can improve the strength of the front end side of the base portion 11, which is the portion that receives the most force when the two-wheeled vehicle 100 accelerates forward.

[0025] When the motorcycle storage device 1 is fixed to the motorcycle 100, the base portion 11 is fitted into the front seat 110 and the rear seat 120 from above, hooked onto the sides of the front seat 110 and the rear seat 120, and then fixed to the body of the motorcycle 100 with fixing members such as bolts. This results in the state shown in FIG.

[0026] The backrest 12 has a lower end that extends diagonally upward and rearward from approximately the center of the base 11 in the front-to-rear direction (the boundary between the front seat 110 and the rear seat 120), and is formed in a plate shape that faces in the front-to-rear direction. The front side of the backrest 12 functions as a backrest for the driver seated on the front seat 110 of the motorcycle 100, and the rear side forms the front inner wall of the storage space 20A formed inside the storage unit 20.

[0027] Further, a backrest 12a is provided on the upper front surface of the backrest portion 12. The backrest 12a has a plate-shaped cushion member facing the front side supported by an axis member extending forward from the front side of the backrest 12, and the distance from the front side of the backrest 12 can be adjusted by changing the length of the axis member. This makes it possible to adjust the position of the backrest 12a in the front-rear direction according to the physique of the driver, etc.

[0028] The storage section 20 has a dome-shaped cover section 21 that is disposed between the rear surface of the backrest section 12 and an upper surface of the base section 11 rearward of the backrest section 12. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, when the motorcycle storage device 1 is attached to the motorcycle 100, the storage section 20 is disposed above the rear seat 120.

[0029] In addition, when the motorcycle storage device 1 is attached to the motorcycle 100, the storage section 20 forms a storage space 20A that is defined by the rear surface of the backrest portion 12, the inner surface of the dome-shaped cover portion 21 that bulges from the front to the rear, and the upper surface of the rear seat 120.

[0030] The cover portion 21 is provided with a door 22 that can open and close the storage space 20A. As shown in FIG. 3, the door 22 has an upper end attached to the cover portion 21 by a hinge 22a, and a lower end provided with a key portion 22b that can lock and unlock the cover portion 21.

[0031] FIG. 5 is a side view of the motorcycle storage device according to one embodiment of the present invention with the door open. When the driver, for example, wants to put something (e.g., gloves, a helmet, etc.) in or take something out of the storage space 20A, he operates the key portion 22b to unlock the door 22 from the closed state shown in Fig. 1, and lifts the door 22 upward. As a result, the door 22 of the motorcycle storage device 1 rotates about the hinge 22a, and the storage space 20A changes from the closed state shown in Fig. 1 to an open state, and the driver can, for example, put something in or take something out of the storage space 20A.

[0032] FIG. 6 is a side view of the motorcycle storage device according to one embodiment of the present invention with the cover removed. Moreover, the cover part 21 is detachable from the base part 11. In detail, the cover part 21 has an engagement part formed on the lower front end side to engage with the base part 11, a fixing part (e.g., a hole through which a fixing member can be inserted) formed on the inner upper front end side to be fixed to the base part 11 by a fixing member (e.g., a bolt), and an engagement part formed on the lower rear end side to engage with a protrusion or the like provided on the base part 11.

[0033] FIG. 6 is a side view of the motorcycle storage device according to one embodiment of the present invention with the cover removed. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a state in which a storage tool for a motorcycle according to one embodiment of the present invention is attached to a motorcycle and the cover portion is removed.

[0034] When the driver wants to make the motorcycle ready for two people to ride, for example, when putting a passenger on the rear seat 120 or when passing the motorcycle through a vehicle inspection, the driver removes the fixing part that fixes the cover part 21 and the base part 11 together without using tools, and pulls out the cover part 21 diagonally upward and rearward. This puts the motorcycle storage device 1 in the state shown in FIG. 6.

[0035] When the cover portion 21 is removed with the motorcycle storage device 1 attached to the motorcycle 100, the rear seat 120 becomes exposed as shown in FIG.

[0036] The motorcycle storage tool 1 according to this embodiment provides the following advantageous effects. According to the storage device for a motorcycle 1, a storage section 20 forming a storage space 20A can be detachably arranged on a motorcycle 100 that includes a front seat 110 and a rear seat 120 disposed behind the front seat 110 and that allows passengers to ride on both the front seat 110 and the rear seat 120, above the rear seat 120 that is vacant when only one person is riding on the motorcycle. Then, by opening and closing the door 22, items (for example, gloves, a helmet, etc.) can be stored in the storage space 20A. Therefore, it is possible to provide a motorcycle storage device 1 that can be attached later to a motorcycle 100 that can accommodate two people.

[0037] According to the storage tool for a motorcycle 1, the storage section 20 forms an inner wall of the storage space 20A and has a detachable cover section 21. By removing the cover section 21, the rear seat 120 is exposed and it becomes possible to sit on the rear seat 120. As a result, even if the storage section 20 is left in the rear seat 120, the rear seat 120 can be exposed by simply removing the cover section 21, making it possible to sit on the rear seat 120, thereby making it possible to comply with the maintenance standards for motorcycles.

[0038] The motorcycle storage device 1 is attached to the motorcycle 100 by hooking the front end of the fixing part 10 provided on the lower end side of the storage part 20 onto the front seat and the rear end of the fixing part 10 onto the rear seat 120. As a result, even if the two-wheeled vehicle 100 accelerates or stops and a force is applied to the storage section 20 to cause it to be left behind or forward, the fixing section 10 is hooked onto the front seat 110 and the rear seat 120, so that the storage section 20 can be reliably prevented from falling.

[0039] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, it goes without saying that the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents of the above embodiment. It is clear to those skilled in the art that various modifications or improvements can be made to the above embodiment. Furthermore, it is clear from the description of the claims for the utility model registration that forms with such modifications or improvements are also included in the technical scope of the present invention.
