[0015] The bag for a saddle-ride type vehicle according to the first embodiment shown in Fig. 1 is a seat bag 1A that can be installed on a rear seat 92 of a rear body 91 of a saddle-ride type vehicle 9 as shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4. Fig. 3(b) is a diagram showing a state in which the seat bag 1A according to the first embodiment is attached to the rear seat 92 of the saddle-ride type vehicle 9 shown in Fig. 3(a). Figs. 4(a) and (b) are explanatory views of a usage state showing a method of wire-locking the seat bag 1A to the rear body 91 of the saddle-ride type vehicle 9.

[0016] The bag for a saddle-type vehicle (also referred to as a seat bag 1A) of the first embodiment is an anti-theft seat bag 1A as shown in Fig. 1 etc. The seat bag 1A mainly includes a case portion 10a, a storage pocket 2A, an opening / closing portion 3A, etc.

[0017] The case portion 10a is a structure that forms a storage space for storing luggage and protects the stored luggage. The upper case portion of the case portion 10a is an upper cover case 11a and the lower case portion is a lower cover case 12a along the loading direction on the rear seat 92 of the seat bag 1A. The case portion 10a is made of, for example, nylon, leather, ABS resin, or a material containing polycarbonate.

[0018] The lower cover case 12a of the case part 10a is provided with a bag fixing part (hereinafter, referred to as connection belts 13a and 14a shown in FIG. 1 etc.) so that the case part 10a can be loaded onto a part of the body of the saddle riding type vehicle 9 (a rear seat 92 of a rear body 91 shown in FIG. 3(a)). The bag fixing parts, that is, the connection belts 13a and 14a, enable the case part 10a to be loaded onto the rear seat 92 of the rear body 91 via a bag fixing belt 5A attached to the rear seat 92 shown in FIG. 3(a), for example, and can be easily and detachably attached to the rear seat 92.

[0019] An opening / closing unit 3A is provided at the storage opening of the upper cover case 11a and the lower cover case 12a of the case part 10a so that the upper cover case 11a and the lower cover case 12a of the case part 10a can be opened and closed, for example, from the periphery of the side of the case part 10a. The opening / closing unit 3A has an opening / closing operation mechanism that can open and close the storage opening provided in the case part 10a for putting luggage in and taking it out of the storage space. The opening / closing operation mechanism is structured so that the storage opening / closing can be opened and closed, for example, from the periphery of the side of the case part 10a, and is composed of a closed loop ring-shaped metal or resin opening / closing part, or a metal and resin opening / closing part.

[0020] Specifically, the opening / closing part 3A is composed of a fastener shown in, for example, Figures 1 and 2(b) (hereinafter, also referred to as fastener 3A). The fastener 3A is provided with two sliders 31a, two annular rings 32a formed in a closed loop ring shape for fixing the slider 31a so that it can be locked, and a slide element 33a that closes (or "zips") when its teeth engage with each other and opens (or "unzips") when the teeth disengage.

[0021] When the two annular rings 32a are not in the locked state, the two sliders 31a can slidably move the slide element 33a to open and close the zipper. On the other hand, when the two annular rings 32a are in the locked state by the lock engaging portion 42a and the lock engaged portion 43a of the wire lock device 4A as shown in Fig. 2(b) and Fig. 4(b), the two sliders 31a cannot move separately, and therefore the zipper of the slide element 33a cannot be released.

[0022] The storage pocket 2A is provided on the exterior side of the case part 10a outside the storage space of the case part 10a, as shown in FIG. 1 and the like. Furthermore, the storage pocket 2A is provided at a position that does not impair the storage and loading capacity of the seat bag 1A. For example, the storage pocket 2A is provided at a position that does not interfere with the opening and closing operation of the opening and closing part 3A, which is the storage opening between the upper cover case 11a and the lower cover case 12a. Furthermore, the storage pocket 2A is provided at a position that does not disrupt the loading balance in the seat bag 1A, for example, on the side part on the exterior side of the case part 10a around the connection part between the upper cover case 11a and the lower cover case 12a as shown in FIG. 1.

[0023] The storage pocket 2A is composed of a storage case 21a made of a material capable of storing a wire lock device 4A and the like, a pocket zipper part 22a capable of opening and closing the opening of the storage case 21a, and a locking stopper 23a for fixing the end 461a side of the wire 46a of the wire lock device 4A. The storage pocket 2A has a storage space capable of storing at least the wire lock device 4A that can be locked and unlocked by the lock operation part 41a to which the wire 46a with a predetermined wire length WL is connected. The pocket zipper part 22a may be, for example, not only a zipper type but also a button type or a hook-and-loop type opening that can be opened and closed by a hook-and-loop fastener.

[0024] In addition, as shown in Fig. 2(a) and Fig. 3, etc., the other end side (end 461a side) of the wire 46a is connected by a wire lock device 4A to a locking fastener 23a (fixing device) provided in the storage pocket 2A so as to be loopable. This locking fastener 23a is firmly fixed to the case part 10a. As the locking fastener 23a in the storage pocket 2A, for example, a D-ring is firmly fixed to the case part 10a. In addition to the D-ring, a belt, a carabiner, etc. may be used.

[0025] Also, inside the storage pocket 2A, in order to reduce the influence of movements such as vibrations of the seat bag 1A on the wire 46a of the wire lock device 4A, a cable clamp or the like may be provided to hold down the wire 46a or to enhance storage performance, etc.

[0026] Here, with reference to FIGS. 2(a) and (b), an example of the configuration of the wire lock device 4A used for the seat bag 1A shown in FIG. 1 and the like will be described, and with reference to FIG. 2(b), the operation of locking the opening / closing part 3A of the seat bag 1A shown in FIG. 1 and the like will be described.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 2(a) and (b) and the like, the wire lock device 4A is composed of a lock operation part 41a and a wire 46a. Further, the lock operation part 41a includes a lock engaging part 42a, a lock engaged part 43a, a dial lock part 44a, a wire engaging part 45a, and the like.

[0028] The lock engaging part 42a has a locking-side structure that can be locked by engaging a U-shaped hook, for example, with two annular rings 32a of the fastener 3A. On the other hand, the lock engaged part 43a has an engaged-side structure for locking and unlocking by engaging one side of the U-shaped hook of the lock engaging part 42a.

[0029] The wire lock device 4A includes, for example, a dial lock part 44a as a locking and unlocking mechanism. As shown in FIGS. 2(a) and (b), the dial lock part 44a can be set by rotating three dial numbers 441a.

[0030] The locking method of the dial lock part 44a is such that when turning the dial other than the preset dial number 441a with the U-shaped lock engaging part 42a and the lock engaged part 43a of the lock operation part 41a engaged, the engagement between the lock engaging part 42a and the lock engaged part 43a can be set to the locked (locked) state.

[0031] On the other hand, the dial lock unit 44a can be unlocked by matching the dial with a preset dial number 441a to release the engagement between the lock engaging unit 42a and the locked engaged unit 43a. The password number is set by pressing and releasing the dial number 441a while pressing each reset button 442a shown in Fig. 2(a) and (b) with a thin rod such as a thin pin.

[0032] The wire locking portion 45a has an insertion portion with a closed hole, through which one end side (end portion 462a side) of a wire 46a of a predetermined length WL is inserted in a loop shape, and then is sleeved, for example as shown in Figure 2(a), and is fastened with a wire loop.

[0033] The end 461a of the wire 46a is also sleeved as shown in Fig. 2(a) and wire-looped. As shown in Fig. 2(a), the wire end of the wire loop clasp, which has a vertical length Wt and a horizontal width Wy, is bent into a loop shape, and the wire 46a has a wire length WL. This wire loop clasp can be easily inserted into a D-ring or the like of the locking fastener 23a in the storage pocket 2A, and the locking operation part 41a can be passed through the loop of the wire loop clasp on the end 461a side of the wire 46a, and the wire 46a can be connected to the locking fastener 23a by tying it with the loop fastener as shown in Fig. 1.

[0034] In the wire lock device 4A used in the seat bag 1A of this embodiment, the locking and unlocking method is a dial lock type device, but it may be, for example, a key type locking method or an electronic locking method device, etc. Also, the wire 46a shown in Fig. 2 etc. is a straight wire type, but it may be a wound coil wire type.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 2(b), the housing opening of the case 10a is provided with a fastener 3A having a ring-shaped opening / closing operation part of a closed loop that can lock a substantially U-shaped hook of the wire locking device 4A. Preferably, for example, when the inner diameter φ of the ring shape of the two annular rings 32a of the fastener 3A is 4.3 mm (for example, 4.0 to 4.6 mm considering an error), the locking part 42a of the wire locking device 4A is formed of a substantially U-shaped hook, for example, and the wire material of the hook is made of SUS material and the thickness (outer diameter) of the hook is about 3 mm in diameter (for example, in the range of 2.7 to 3.3 mm in diameter). This makes it possible to obtain a structure that is resistant to damage to the hook and peeling of the paint even when the locking part 42a is locked to the two annular rings 32a of the fastener 3A and engaged with the locking part 43a to lock it.

[0036] Also, preferably, in the wire lock device 4A, the wire 46a is made of steel or steel coated with PVC, and the wire thickness (outer diameter) of the wire 46a is 3.5 to 3.8 mm, and the predetermined wire length WL is 1.2 to 1.5 m. Also, for example, the vertical length Wt of the wire loop fastener shown in FIG. 2(a) is 50 mm, and the horizontal width Wy is 28 mm. Note that, in order to make it possible to use commercially available products in the wire lock device that can be stored in the storage pocket 2A, the wire thickness (outer diameter) may be about 3.0 to 4.0 mm, and the wire length WL of a wound coil wire type may be about 1.2 to 1.8 m.

[0037] Furthermore, it is preferable to use a wire lock device 4A having an outer diameter of, for example, 88 mm in length, 30 mm in width, and 13 mm in thickness as the device size of the lock operation portion 41a. This allows the storage pocket 2A to be small in size, and at least the wire lock device 4A to be stored, and the wire 46a can be wound around any other part of the body of the saddle riding type vehicle 9 to lock the fastener 3A of the seat bag 1A.

[0038] With the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to prevent theft of both the seat bag 1A body and the contents of the seat bag 1A.

[0039] Next, a specific example of an anti-theft method when the seat bag 1A is mounted on the saddle riding type vehicle 9 will be described with reference to Figs. 3 and 4 etc.

[0040] In a saddle-type vehicle 9 such as a motorcycle shown in Fig. 3(a), a bag fixing belt 5A for fixing the seat bag 1A shown in Fig. 1 and the like is attached to a rear seat 92 of a rear vehicle body 91. The bag fixing belt 5A is made up of a seat wrapping belt 51a that is wrapped around the rear seat 92 and fixed to the rear seat 92, and bag connecting belts 52a and 53a. Note that the configuration of the bag fixing belt 5A shown in Fig. 3(a) is one example of a belt configuration for attaching a seat bag or the like to the rear seat 92, and other configurations such as two independent bag connecting belts may also be used as the bag fixing belt 5A.

[0041] The bag connection belts 52a and 53a are detachably connectable to, for example, the connection belts 13a and 14a of the seat bag 1A. For example, the bag connection belts 52a and 53a of the bag fixing belt 5A have male connection buckles, while the connection belts 13a and 14a of the seat bag 1A have female connection buckles, thereby enabling them to be detachably connectable.

[0042] In addition, the length and tension of each of the seat wrapping belt 51a and the bag connecting belts 52a and 53a of the bag fixing belt 5A are adjustable so that the seat bag 1A does not fall off the rear seat 92 of the saddle-type vehicle 9 shown in Figure 3(a) or become unstable.

[0043] As described above, the seat bag 1A is provided with a bag fixing portion (connection belts 13a and 14a) so that it can be loaded onto a part of the body of the saddle-type vehicle 9 (rear seat 92 of the rear body 91), and can be easily and detachably attached to the rear seat 92 via the bag fixing belt 5A.

[0044] Next, in the saddle-type vehicle 9 shown in Fig. 3(b), the seat bag 1A is attached to a rear seat 92 of a rear vehicle body 91 via a bag fixing belt 5A, and the seat bag 1A is mounted on the rear seat 92. In the saddle-type vehicle 9 shown in Fig. 3(b), the seat bag 1A is in a state in which the wire lock device 4A of the seat bag 1A shown in Fig. 1 is stored in the storage pocket 2A.

[0045] Next, in the saddle riding type vehicle 9 shown in FIG. 4(a), for example, the driver opens the pocket zipper portion 22a of the storage pocket 2A of the seat bag 1A, and in a state where the storage case 21a is expanded, the wire lock device 4A is removed from the storage pocket 2A. Furthermore, the driver winds the end portion 462a side of the wire 46a of the removed wire lock device 4A around another part of the body of the saddle riding type vehicle 9 (for example, inserts it into the hollow portion of the closed space of the rear body frame 93 shown in FIG. 3, etc.). After winding the wire 46a around the rear body frame 93, as shown in FIG. 2(b), the lock operation portion 41a of the wire lock device 4A is engaged with the two annular rings 32a of the opening / closing portion 3A of the seat bag 1A.

[0046] 4(b), the driver engages the lock operation portion 41a of the wire lock device 4A with the two annular rings 32a of the opening / closing portion 3A of the seat bag 1A, and then turns the dial lock portion 44a to a dial number other than the preset dial number 441a to lock the two annular rings 32a. After locking, the driver can close the pocket zipper portion 22a of the storage pocket 2A of the seat bag 1A and leave the saddle type vehicle 9.

[0047] As a result, the driver does not have to take the trouble of searching for and taking out the wire lock device 4A from the seat bag 1A body, but can quickly take out the wire lock device 4A from the storage pocket 2A and quickly lock it with a simple action. Also, the driver can quickly unlock the wire lock device 4A with a simple action and quickly store it in the storage pocket 2A. This allows the driver to reduce the time required for locking and unlocking operations compared to conventional methods, and can simultaneously prevent theft of the seat bag 1A body mounted on the saddle-type vehicle 9 and the luggage stored in the seat bag 1A.

[0048] There is no need to open the opening / closing portion 3A of the case portion 10a of the seat bag 1A body, and then to take out the wire lock device 4A from the case portion 10a. (1) Open storage pocket 2A, quickly remove wire lock device 4A, and quickly lock it. In addition, when storing the wire lock device 4A, the following simple steps can be performed: (2) Quickly unlock and quickly store wire lock device 4A, and close storage pocket 2A.

[0049] As described above, the seat bag 1A is equipped with the storage pocket 2A, which enables time saving. For example, when a person is in a hurry to take a toilet break, and gets off the saddle-type vehicle 9, the bag body and its contents can be protected from theft as quickly and easily as possible.

[0050] Furthermore, since the seat bag 1A can be easily attached and detached to the rear seat 92 of the saddle-type vehicle 9, the seat bag 1A can be removed from the rear seat 92 when the driver is away from the saddle-type vehicle 9 for an extended period of time or for an extended period of time.

[0051] Although an example of the configuration is not shown here like the seat bag 1A of this embodiment, a similar configuration can be provided even when the saddle-type vehicle bag is in the form of a side bag. For example, when the side bag is loaded on the side of the rear seat 92, the storage pocket is preferably provided on the exterior side such as the upper part, front and rear, or side (based on the mounting state when loaded) of the case part, which is close to the rear body frame 93 and does not interfere with the opening and closing of the fastener or the like.

[0052] As described above, the bag for saddle-type vehicles of this embodiment can be easily loaded as a bag for saddle-type vehicles, and prevents theft of both the loaded bag body and luggage stored in the bag. Furthermore, the locking device can be easily removed and stored, and locking and unlocking operations can be easily performed.

[0053] [Second embodiment] The configuration of a second embodiment of the bag for a saddle-riding type vehicle according to the present invention will be described below with reference to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6. The bag for a saddle-riding type vehicle according to the second embodiment is an example of a tank bag 1B that can be attached to a gasoline tank 94 of a saddle-riding type vehicle 9 as shown in Fig. 5 etc. Here, Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 are explanatory views of a usage state showing a method of wire-locking the tank bag 1B of the second embodiment to another part of the body of the saddle-riding type vehicle 9.

[0054] The bag for a saddle-type vehicle in the second embodiment is a tank bag 1B that is loaded on the upper side of a gasoline tank 94. The tank bag 1B is a bag for storing small items such as a map, a navigation system, a mobile terminal, a wallet, etc. As shown in FIG. 5 etc., the tank bag 1B mainly includes a case portion 10b, a storage pocket 2B, an opening / closing portion 3B, etc.

[0055] The case portion 10b is a structure that forms a storage space for storing luggage and protects the stored luggage. The upper case portion of the case portion 10b is the upper cover case 11b and the lower case portion is the lower cover case 12b along the loading direction of the tank bag 1B on a part of the body of the saddle riding type vehicle 9 (gasoline tank 94 shown in FIG. 5, etc.). The case portion 10b is made of, for example, nylon, leather, ABS resin, or a material containing polycarbonate.

[0056] An opening / closing section 3B (also called a zipper 3B) is provided at the storage opening of the upper cover case 11b and the lower cover case 12b of the case part 10b so that the upper cover case 11b and the lower cover case 12b can be opened and closed, for example, from the periphery of the side surface of the case part 10b. The opening / closing section 3B has an opening / closing operation mechanism that can open and close the storage opening provided in the case part 10b for putting luggage in and taking it out of the storage space. The opening / closing operation mechanism is structured so that the storage opening / closing can be opened and closed, for example, from the periphery of the side surface of the case part 10b, and is composed of a closed loop ring-shaped metal or resin opening / closing part, or a metal and resin opening / closing part.

[0057] The bottom cover case 12b of the case part 10b is provided with a bag fixing part (hereinafter referred to as tank mounting part 13b shown in FIG. 5 etc.) so that it can be mounted on a gasoline tank 94 of the saddle riding type vehicle 9. This bag fixing part, tank mounting part 13b, is equipped with a magnet and has a structure that allows it to be firmly attached to an iron tank by magnetic force using the magnet. For example, the case part 10b can be mounted on a gasoline tank 94 shown in FIG. 5(a) etc. and can be easily and detachably attached to the gasoline tank 94. This allows it to be firmly fixed to the gasoline tank 94 while being detachable.

[0058] In addition, while iron tanks have often been used for gasoline tanks and the like of saddle-type vehicles 9 such as motorcycles (motorcycles) and motor tricycles, in recent years, many saddle-type vehicles 9 have adopted tanks other than iron, such as synthetic resin covers for covering the gasoline tanks and aluminum tanks. In such cases, by attaching a flexible sheet or the like described in JP 2024-93527 A to a tank other than an iron tank, the magnet included in the tank mounting portion 13b of the tank bag 1B can be attached to the flexible sheet, so that the tank bag can be attached to tanks other than iron, such as synthetic resin covers and aluminum tanks.

[0059] The opening / closing part 3B is composed of a fastener 3B shown in, for example, Fig. 2(b) and Fig. 5. The fastener 3B is provided with two sliders, two annular rings formed in a closed loop ring shape to fix the sliders so that they can be locked, and a slide element that closes (or "zips") when its teeth engage with each other and opens (or "unzips") when the engaged teeth are disengaged. An example of the configuration of the fastener 3B is the same as an example of the configuration of the fastener 3A shown in Fig. 2(b) (a configuration corresponding to two sliders 31a, two annular rings 32a, and slide element 33a).

[0060] The storage pocket 2B is made of a storage case 21b made of a material capable of storing a wire locking device 4B and the like, a pocket zipper section 22b capable of opening and closing the opening of the storage case 21b, and a locking fastener 23b for fixing the end 461b side of the wire 46b of the wire locking device 4B. The storage pocket 2B has a storage space capable of storing at least the wire locking device 4B that can be locked and unlocked by the lock operation section 41b to which the wire 46b having a predetermined wire length WL is connected. The pocket zipper section 22b may be, for example, not only a zipper type but also a button-fastening type or a hook-and-loop fastener type opening that can be opened and closed.

[0061] In addition, as shown in Fig. 5(b) and Fig. 6(a), the other end side (end 461b side) of the wire 46b is connected to a locking fastener 23b (fixing device) provided in the storage pocket 2B by a wire locking device 4B so as to be loopable. This locking fastener 23b is firmly fixed to the case part 10b. As the locking fastener 23b in the storage pocket 2B, for example, a D-ring is firmly fixed to the case part 10b. In addition to the D-ring, a belt, a carabiner, etc. may be used.

[0062] In addition, a cable clamp or the like may be provided in the storage pocket 2B to hold down the wire 46b of the wire lock device 4B to reduce the effects of movement due to vibration or the like of the tank bag 1B, or to improve storage ease.

[0063] As shown in Figures 6(a) and (b), the wire locking device 4B is composed of a lock operating section 41b and a wire 46b. The lock operating section 41b further comprises a lock engaging section 42b, a lock engaged section 43b, a dial lock section, and a wire engaging section (sections corresponding to the dial lock section 44a and wire engaging section 45a shown in Figures 2(a) and (b)). The wire locking device 4B has the same configuration as the wire locking device 4A shown in Figures 2(a) and (b).

[0064] The lock engaging portion 42b has a structure in which, for example, a U-shaped hook is formed, and has a structure on the engaging side that can be locked by engaging this U-shaped hook with two annular rings of the fastener 3B. On the other hand, the lock engaged portion 43b has a structure on the engaged side that engages one side of the U-shaped hook of the lock engaging portion 42b to lock and unlock.

[0065] Next, a specific example of a method for preventing theft when the tank bag 1B is mounted on the saddle riding type vehicle 9 will be described with reference to Figs.

[0066] In the straddle-type vehicle 9 shown in Fig. 5(a), a tank bag 1B is attached onto a gasoline tank 94, showing a state where the tank bag 1B is mounted. Note that in the straddle-type vehicle 9 shown in Fig. 5(a), the tank bag 1B shows a state where a wire lock device 4B is stored in a storage pocket 2B.

[0067] Next, in the straddle-type vehicle 9 shown in Fig. 5(b), for example, a driver opens a pocket chuck portion 22b of the storage pocket 2B of the tank bag 1B and expands a storage case 21b.

[0068] Next, as shown in Fig. 6(a), the driver inserts and winds the end portion 462b side of a wire 46b of the wire lock device 4B taken out through another part of the vehicle body of the straddle-type vehicle 9. For example, as shown in Fig. 6(a), the driver takes out the lock operation portion 41a side of the wire lock device 4B stored in the storage pocket 2B, inserts the lock operation portion 41a side into a handle holder 951 at the center portion of a handle 95, and winds the wire 46b.

[0069] Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 6(b), in the wire lock device 4B wound around the handle holder 951 by the driver, the driver turns a dial lock portion to a dial other than a preset dial number and locks the lock operation portion 41b to two annular rings of a closing portion 3B. After locking, the driver closes the pocket chuck portion 22b of the storage pocket 2B of the tank bag 1B and can leave the straddle-type vehicle 9.

[0070] As a result, the driver does not have to take the trouble of searching for and taking out the wire lock device 4B from the tank bag 1B body, but can quickly take it out of the storage pocket 2B and quickly lock it with a simple action. Also, the wire lock device 4B can be quickly released and quickly stored in the storage pocket 2B with a simple action. This allows the driver to reduce the time required for locking and unlocking operations compared to conventional methods, and also prevents theft of both the tank bag 1B body mounted on the saddle-type vehicle 9 and luggage stored in the tank bag 1B.

[0071] There is no need to open the opening / closing portion 3B of the case portion 10b of the tank bag 1B body, and then to take out the wire lock device 4B from the case portion 10b. (1) Open storage pocket 2B, quickly take out wire lock device 4B, and quickly lock it. In addition, when storing the wire lock device 4B, the following simple steps can be performed: (2) Quickly unlock, quickly store wire lock device 4B, and close storage pocket 2B.

[0072] As described above, the tank bag 1B is equipped with the storage pocket 2B which enables time saving, and when getting off the saddle-type vehicle 9 in a hurry, such as for a toilet break, the operation for preventing theft of the bag body and the contents of the bag can be performed as quickly and easily as possible.

[0073] Furthermore, since the tank bag 1B can be easily attached and detached to the gasoline tank 94 of the saddle riding type vehicle 9, the tank bag 1B can be removed from the gasoline tank 94 when the driver is away from the saddle riding type vehicle 9 for an extended period of time or for an extended period of time.

[0074] As described above, the bag for saddle-type vehicles of this embodiment can be easily loaded as a bag for saddle-type vehicles, and prevents theft of both the loaded bag body and luggage stored in the bag. Furthermore, the locking device can be easily removed and stored, and locking and unlocking operations can be easily performed.
