Storage box for saddle-type vehicles

Abstract

To provide a storage box of a straddle-type vehicle that can easily hold a portable information terminal to be stored in the storage box.SOLUTION: A storage box of a straddle-type vehicle includes a storage part, a lid part, an elastic member, and a shaft part supporting the lid part such that the lid part is rotatable. The storage part includes an opening, an inner side wall, and a restriction part facing the inner side wall. The storage part stores a portable information terminal while allowing the terminal to stand between the inner side wall and at least one restriction part. The lid part can be shifted between a closed state for closing the opening and an open state for opening the opening. The elastic member presses the portable information terminal in the thickness direction of the portable information terminal between the lid part or the inner side wall and the elastic member in the closed state, and thereby allowing the portable information terminal to be stored in the storage box. The inner side wall extends substantially in a vehicle up-down direction or toward the restriction part from the lower side to the upper side. The restriction part is separated from the portable information terminal in the closed state. When the lid part shifts from the closed state to the open state, the restriction part comes into contact with the portable information terminal and thus restricts the movement of the portable information terminal.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a storage box for a saddle-ride type vehicle. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART A straddle-type vehicle equipped with a storage box provided inside a tank shroud is known (see Patent Document 1). The storage box is capable of storing electronic devices such as a portable information terminal. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-83395 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When storing a portable information terminal in a storage box, the portable information terminal is easily affected by ground impacts and acceleration / deceleration due to the light weight of a saddle-type vehicle. For this reason, it is preferable to hold the portable information terminal inside the storage box. However, if a band is attached to the portable information terminal after storing it in the storage box, it is time-consuming to attach the band to the portable information terminal.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a storage box for a saddle-ride type vehicle that can easily hold a portable information terminal stored in the storage box. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] A storage box for a saddle-type vehicle according to one aspect of the present invention stores a mobile information terminal. The storage box includes a storage section, a lid, at least one elastic member, and a shaft. The storage section includes an opening for inserting and removing the mobile information terminal, an inner sidewall, and at least one restricting member facing the inner sidewall. The storage section stores the mobile information terminal in an upright position between the inner sidewall and the at least one restricting member. The lid is movable between a closed state in which the opening is closed and an open state in which the opening is open. In the closed state, the lid faces the inner sidewall. The at least one elastic member is disposed on at least one of the lid and the inner sidewall, and in the closed state, presses the mobile information terminal in the thickness direction of the mobile information terminal between the lid and the inner sidewall to hold the mobile information terminal in the storage section. The shaft rotatably supports the lid. The inner sidewall extends substantially in the vertical direction of the vehicle, or from below to above, in a direction approaching the at least one restricting member. A space is formed between the inner sidewall and the at least one restricting part, which allows the mobile information terminal to tilt toward the at least one restricting part when the lid is in the open state. The at least one restricting part is separated from the mobile information terminal in the closed state, and contacts the front side or the back side of the mobile information terminal to restrict movement of the mobile information terminal when the lid transitions from the closed state to the open state.

[0007] In the storage box for a saddle-ride type vehicle according to this aspect, when the lid of the storage box is closed, a mobile information terminal stored in the storage compartment of the storage box is held in the storage compartment by being pressed in the thickness direction of the mobile information terminal by at least one elastic member. This allows the mobile information terminal to be held in place by a simple operation of simply rotating the lid of the storage box, so that, for example, when riding in the vehicle, the mobile information terminal can be easily held in place while maintaining balance of the vehicle.

[0008] The portable information terminal is stored in an upright position between the inner side wall and the at least one restrictor, and a space is formed between the inner side wall and the at least one restrictor that allows the portable information terminal to tilt toward the at least one restrictor when the lid is open. This makes it easy to take the portable information terminal in and out of the storage section while, for example, riding in a vehicle.

[0009] The inner sidewall of the storage compartment extends substantially in the vertical direction of the vehicle or from bottom to top toward the restricting portion. Therefore, for example, if the inner sidewall of the storage compartment extends substantially in the vertical direction of the vehicle, when the lid portion transitions from the closed state to the open state, the pressing force of the at least one elastic member pressing the mobile information terminal is released, and the mobile information terminal can be moved to the at least one restricting portion due to the reaction force. Therefore, for example, when the lid portion is opened while the vehicle is in operation, the mobile information terminal can be easily removed from the storage compartment.

[0010] At least a portion of the at least one elastic member may be positioned at the same height as the center of the inner side wall in the vertical direction of the vehicle in the closed state. In this case, the mobile information terminal can be stably held in the storage section in the closed state. Specifically, since the widthwise dimension of mobile information terminals varies little depending on the model, for example, by setting the center of the inner side wall in the vertical direction to be near the widthwise center position of a typical mobile information terminal, the mobile information terminal can be stably held in the storage section in the closed state.

[0011] At least one elastic member may extend in the longitudinal direction of the portable information terminal when the portable information terminal is stored in the storage section in the closed state, so that the portable information terminal can be stably held in the storage section in the closed state.

[0012] At least one elastic member may be disposed on the cover, in which case the elastic member can support the mobile information terminal until the mobile information terminal comes into contact with the restricting member when the cover transitions from the open state to the closed state.

[0013] The at least one restricting member may be disposed below the at least one elastic member in the closed state. In this case, the at least one restricting member is less likely to get in the way when removing the mobile information terminal from the storage section. Furthermore, since the at least one elastic member can be disposed in a position close to the at least one restricting member, when the lid is opened with the mobile information terminal stored in the storage section, the at least one elastic member can continue to support the mobile information terminal until the mobile information terminal comes into contact with the restricting member.

[0014] The storage section may further include a bottom surface portion extending in a direction intersecting the vehicle vertical direction. The at least one restricting portion may extend upward from the bottom surface portion. The height of the at least one restricting portion may be equal to or greater than half the dimension from the bottom surface portion to the at least one elastic member in the closed state. In this case, movement of the mobile information terminal can be stably restricted in the open state.

[0015] The at least one restricting portion may extend from the bottom surface portion to a position close to the at least one elastic member, which makes it possible to more stably restrict movement of the mobile information terminal in the open state.

[0016] The dimension of the at least one restriction portion in the vehicle vertical direction may be at least one-fourth and not more than three-fourths of the dimension of the inner side wall in the vehicle vertical direction. In this case, movement of the mobile information terminal can be stably restricted, and the mobile information terminal can be easily put in and taken out of the storage portion.

[0017] The at least one elastic member may include a first elastic member disposed on the lid and a second elastic member disposed on the inner side wall of the storage section. In this case, when the lid is opened with the portable information terminal stored in the storage section, the first elastic member can support the portable information terminal until the portable information terminal contacts the restricting portion. In addition, the reaction force generated when the pressing force of the second elastic member is released makes it easier for the portable information terminal to move to the at least one restricting portion. The first elastic member and the second elastic member can effectively suppress transmission of vibrations from the vehicle to the portable information terminal T.

[0018] The dimension of the storage section in the vehicle longitudinal direction may be greater than the dimension of the storage section in the vehicle vertical direction and the dimension of the storage section in the vehicle width direction. In this case, the vehicle width increase is suppressed while ensuring space for the storage section in the vehicle longitudinal direction, so that the mobile information terminal can be stably placed in the storage section even when the lid is not closed.

[0019] The at least one restricting portion may face the inner side wall in the vehicle width direction. The at least one restricting portion may have a dimension in the vehicle front-rear direction smaller than the dimension in the vehicle front-rear direction of the storage portion. In this case, it is easy to put the mobile information terminal in and take it out of the storage portion.

[0020] The storage section may further include a bottom surface portion extending in a direction intersecting with the vehicle vertical direction. The at least one restricting portion may include a first restricting portion extending upward from the bottom surface portion and a second restricting portion disposed apart from the first restricting portion in the vehicle longitudinal direction. In this case, movement of the mobile information terminal can be stably restricted.

[0021] The storage compartment may be located forward of the seat of the saddle-ride type vehicle and fixed to a member that does not rotate with the steering device of the saddle-ride type vehicle. In this case, when riding in the vehicle, the portable information terminal stored in the storage box can be easily held while maintaining the balance of the vehicle. The portable information terminal is less likely to be affected by the rotation of the steering device.

[0022] The storage section may be disposed to the side of the steering device of the saddle-ride type vehicle. In this case, when riding in the vehicle, the portable information terminal stored in the storage box can be easily held while maintaining balance of the vehicle.

[0023] The shaft may be disposed below the storage section, in which case the amount of upward movement of the lid when opening or closing the lid can be reduced.

[0024] The storage box may further include a lid cover fixed to the outside of the lid so as to be integrally rotatable with the lid. The lid cover may be arranged to form part of the exterior cover of the saddle-ride type vehicle. In this case, the storage box is less likely to be recognized by third parties, which increases security and improves the appearance. The lid cover also protects the lid.

[0025] The opening may be open upward and outward in the vehicle width direction, which makes it easier to take the portable information terminal in and out of the storage compartment.

[0026] The storage section may be disposed forward of the seat of the saddle-ride type vehicle. The storage section may further include a rear surface portion disposed rearward of the at least one restricting portion and defining a portion of the opening. The rear surface portion may include an edge portion extending downward and outward in the vehicle width direction. In this case, the storage section can be easily accessed while balancing the vehicle when the passenger is in the vehicle. [Effects of the Invention]

[0027] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a storage box for a saddle-ride type vehicle that can easily hold a portable information terminal stored in the storage box. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0049] The storage section 31 is disposed to the right of the steering device 3. The storage section 31 is fixed to a member that does not rotate together with the steering device 3. The storage section 31 is fixed to the right side cover 25. The dimension of the storage section 31 in the vehicle longitudinal direction is greater than the dimension of the storage section 31 in the vehicle vertical direction and the dimension of the storage section 31 in the vehicle width direction. The dimension of the storage section 31 in the vehicle vertical direction is greater than the dimension of the storage section 31 in the vehicle width direction.

[0050] The storage section 31 includes an opening 41, a bottom surface 42, an inner sidewall 43, a front surface 44, a rear surface 45, at least one restricting portion 46, an attachment portion 47, and a drainage hole 48 (see FIG. 7).

[0051] The opening 41 is an opening for inserting and removing the portable information terminal T, and opens upward and outward in the vehicle width direction. The opening 41 is defined by an inner side wall 43, a front surface 44, and a rear surface 45.

[0052] When the lid portion 32 is open, the storage portion 31 is open at the top. When the lid portion 32 is open, the storage portion 31 is open on the outer side in the vehicle width direction except for at least one restricting portion 46. In the following description, the state in which the lid portion 32 is open will be referred to as the open state, and the state in which the lid portion 32 is closed will be referred to as the closed state. In other words, the open state means the state in which the opening 41 is open, and the closed state means the state in which the opening 41 is closed. Figure 4 shows the open state, and Figure 5 shows the closed state.

[0053] The bottom surface portion 42 is a portion on which the portable information terminal T is placed. The portable information terminal T is placed on the bottom surface portion 42 so that the longitudinal direction of the portable information terminal T is in the vehicle fore-and-aft direction. The portable information terminal T is placed with its widthwise side surface on the bottom surface portion 42. The bottom surface portion 42 is disposed to the side of the head pipe 11. The bottom surface portion 42 extends in a direction intersecting the vehicle up-and-down direction. The bottom surface portion 42 extends in a substantially horizontal direction. The dimension of the bottom surface portion 42 in the vehicle fore-and-aft direction is greater than the dimension of the bottom surface portion 42 in the vehicle width direction. The bottom surface portion 42 slopes downward toward the front. The bottom surface portion 42 extends from the rear toward the front in a direction approaching the head pipe 11. The front end of the bottom surface portion 42 is located more inward in the vehicle width direction than the rear end. The front end of the bottom surface portion 42 is located rearward of the front end of the right side cover 25. The rear end of the bottom surface portion 42 is located rearward of the head pipe 11. The rear end of the bottom surface portion 42 is located forward of the rear end of the right side cover 25.

[0054] The inner side wall 43 extends in a direction intersecting the vehicle width direction. The inner side wall 43 extends approximately in the vehicle up-down direction and the vehicle front-rear direction. The inner side wall 43 is disposed between the front surface portion 44 and the rear surface portion 45 in the vehicle front-rear direction. The inner side wall 43 is connected to the bottom surface portion 42, the front surface portion 44, and the rear surface portion 45. The inner side wall 43 extends upward from the inside of the bottom surface portion 42 in the vehicle width direction. The inner side wall 43 extends from the rear toward the front in a direction approaching the head pipe 11. The front end of the inner side wall 43 is located more inward in the vehicle width direction than the rear end. In the closed state, the inner side wall 43 faces the lid portion 32 in the vehicle width direction.

[0055] The front surface portion 44 extends in a direction intersecting the vehicle front-rear direction. The front surface portion 44 extends upward from the front end of the bottom surface portion 42. The front surface portion 44 extends outward in the vehicle width direction from the front end of the inner side wall 43.

[0056] The rear surface portion 45 extends in a direction intersecting the vehicle longitudinal direction. The rear surface portion 45 faces the front surface portion 44 in the vehicle longitudinal direction. The rear surface portion 45 extends upward from the rear end of the bottom surface portion 42. The rear surface portion 45 extends outward in the vehicle width direction from the rear end of the inner side wall 43. The rear surface portion 45 is located rearward of the head pipe 11. The rear surface portion 45 is located forward of the rear end of the right side cover 25. The rear surface portion 45 is located rearward of at least one restricting portion 46. The rear surface portion 45 defines a portion of the opening 41. The rear surface portion 45 includes an edge portion 45a that extends downward and outward in the vehicle width direction. The edge portion 45a is located at the upper end of the rear surface portion 45 on the outer side in the vehicle width direction. The edge portion 45a defines a portion of the opening 41.

[0057] The at least one restricting portion 46 restricts the mobile information terminal T placed on the bottom surface portion 42 from moving outward in the vehicle width direction. A space is formed between the inner side wall 43 and the at least one restricting portion 46, which allows the mobile information terminal T to tilt toward the at least one restricting portion 46 when in the open state.

[0058] The storage section 31 stores the portable information terminal T in an upright position between the inner side wall 43 and at least one restriction section 46. The upright position of the portable information terminal T means a position in which the side of the portable information terminal T is placed on the bottom surface section 42. In this embodiment, the storage section 31 stores the portable information terminal T in a position in which the side of the portable information terminal T in the width direction is placed on the bottom surface section 42. The storage section 31 may also be configured to store the portable information terminal T in a position in which the side of the portable information terminal T in the longitudinal direction is placed on the bottom surface section 42.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 5, at least one restricting portion 46 is separated from the portable information terminal T in the closed state. When the cover portion 32 transitions from the closed state shown in FIG. 5 to the open state shown in FIG. 4, the at least one restricting portion 46 contacts the front side or rear side of the portable information terminal T to restrict movement of the portable information terminal T. In detail, as shown schematically in FIG. 8, when the cover portion 32 transitions from the closed state to the open state, the portable information terminal T falls toward the at least one restricting portion 46 in reaction to the release of the pressing force of the at least one elastic member 35, and moves to the at least one restricting portion 46. Then, the front side or rear side of the portable information terminal T contacts the at least one restricting portion 46, thereby restricting movement of the portable information terminal T. That is, in the open state, at least an upper portion of the portable information terminal T is separated from the inner side wall 43, and the at least one restricting portion 46 holds the portable information terminal T in an inclined state relative to the inner side wall 43.

[0060] At least one restricting portion 46 is disposed outward in the vehicle width direction from the inner side wall 43. The at least one restricting portion 46 faces the inner side wall 43 in the vehicle width direction. The dimension of the at least one restricting portion 46 in the vehicle up-down direction is preferably at least one-fourth and not more than three-fourths of the dimension of the inner side wall 43 in the vehicle up-down direction. The dimension of the at least one restricting portion 46 in the vehicle front-rear direction is preferably smaller than the dimension of the storage portion 31 in the vehicle front-rear direction.

[0061] At least one restricting portion 46 includes a first restricting portion 46a and a second restricting portion 46b. The first restricting portion 46a extends upward from the bottom surface portion 42. The first restricting portion 46a is disposed below the upper end of the inner side wall 43. The dimension of the first restricting portion 46a in the vehicle vertical direction is at least one-fourth and not more than three-fourths of the dimension of the inner side wall 43 in the vehicle vertical direction. The dimension of the first restricting portion 46a in the vehicle front-rear direction is smaller than the dimension of the storage portion 31 in the vehicle front-rear direction. The dimension of the first restricting portion 46a in the vehicle front-rear direction is smaller than the dimension of the inner side wall 43 in the vehicle front-rear direction.

[0062] The second restricting portion 46b is disposed away from the first restricting portion 46a in the vehicle longitudinal direction. The second restricting portion 46b is disposed further forward than the first restricting portion 46a. The second restricting portion 46b extends upward from the bottom surface portion 42 and is connected to the front surface portion 44. The upper edge of the second restricting portion 46b extends rearward and downward. The dimension of the second restricting portion 46b in the vehicle vertical direction is at least one-quarter and not more than three-quarters of the dimension of the inner side wall 43 in the vehicle vertical direction. The dimension of the second restricting portion 46b in the vehicle longitudinal direction is smaller than the dimension of the inner side wall 43 in the vehicle longitudinal direction.

[0063] The mounting portion 47 is a portion for mounting a power supply device (not shown). The power supply device is, for example, a power socket serving as an accessory socket. The power supply device may connect the mobile information terminal T and an electronic device mounted on the saddle-ride type vehicle 1 so that data can be communicated between them. The mounting portion 47 is formed by bulging the rear portion of the inner side wall 43 inward in the vehicle width direction. The mounting portion 47 includes a mounting hole 47a to which the power supply device is mounted.

The eave portion 32b extends inward in the vehicle width direction from the upper end of the wall portion 32a. In the closed state, the eave portion 32b covers the upper surface portion 33. Inward tip portion 321b of the eave portion 32b in the vehicle width direction is located more inward in the vehicle width direction than the inner side wall 43 in the closed state. The engaging portion 32c is formed on the underside of the tip portion 321b of the eave portion 32b. The engaging portion 32c extends downward from the underside of the tip portion 321b of the eave portion 32b. The engaging portion 32c has a shape that is recessed from the outer side in the vehicle width direction toward the inner side in the vehicle width direction.

[0069] The upper surface portion 33 extends in a direction intersecting the vehicle vertical direction. The upper surface portion 33 extends from the storage portion 31 in a direction in which the lid portion 32 closes. The upper surface portion 33 extends inward in the vehicle width direction from the storage portion 31. The upper surface portion 33 extends inward in the vehicle width direction from the inner side wall 43 of the storage portion 31 near the upper end of the inner side wall 43. The upper surface portion 33 is positioned below the upper end 43a of the inner side wall 43. The upper surface portion 33 is positioned below the upper end 43a of the inner side wall 43. The upper end 43a of the inner side wall 43 protrudes above the upper surface portion 33. This forms a step between the upper surface portion 33 and the inner side wall 43. In the closed state, the upper surface portion 33 is positioned below the eaves portion 32b and is covered by the eaves portion 32b.

[0070] The upper surface portion 33 includes a through hole 33a and a plurality of drainage holes 33b. The through hole 33a and the plurality of drainage holes 33b are arranged between the opposing portion 34 and the storage portion 31. The through hole 33a and the plurality of drainage holes 33b are arranged between the opposing portion 34 and the inner side wall 43. The through hole 33a and the plurality of drainage holes 33b are holes that penetrate the upper surface portion 33 in the vertical direction of the vehicle. The through hole 33a is formed near the center of the upper surface portion 33 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The plurality of drainage holes 33b are formed in front of and behind the through hole 33a.

[0071] The facing portion 34 is connected to the upper surface portion 33. The facing portion 34 extends upward from the upper surface portion 33. The facing portion 34 is positioned more inward in the vehicle width direction than the multiple drainage holes 33b. In the closed state, the facing portion 34 faces the tip end 321b of the eaves portion 32b. A seal member 40 is positioned between the facing portion 34 and the tip end 321b of the eaves portion 32b to seal the gap between the facing portion 34 and the tip end 321b of the eaves portion 32b in the closed state. The seal member 40 is fixed to the facing portion 34. The seal member 40 may also be fixed to the tip end 321b of the eaves portion 32b. As shown in FIG. 7 , multiple ribs 51 connected to the upper surface portion 33 and the facing portion 34 are formed on the inner side of the facing portion 34 in the vehicle width direction.

[0072] At least one elastic member 35 is disposed on at least one of the lid portion 32 or the inner side wall 43. In the closed state, the at least one elastic member 35 presses the mobile information terminal T in the thickness direction of the mobile information terminal T between the lid portion 32 or the inner side wall 43, thereby holding the mobile information terminal T in the storage portion 31. In this embodiment, in the closed state, the at least one elastic member 35 presses the mobile information terminal T in the vehicle width direction. The at least one elastic member 35 is formed of a material such as urethane or rubber.

[0073] At least one elastic member 35 includes a first elastic member 35a and a second elastic member 35b. The first elastic member 35a is disposed in the lid portion 32. The first elastic member 35a is fixed to the inner surface of the wall portion 32a of the lid portion 32. In the closed state, the first elastic member 35a is disposed above the first restricting portion 46a. In the closed state, at least a portion of the first elastic member 35a is disposed at the same height as the center of the inner side wall 43 in the vehicle up-down direction. In the closed state, the first elastic member 35a overlaps with the height center of the inner side wall 43 in a side view of the vehicle. In the closed state and with the mobile information terminal T stored in the storage portion 31, the first elastic member 35a extends in the longitudinal direction of the mobile information terminal T. In this embodiment, the first elastic member 35a extends in the vehicle front-rear direction.

[0074] 5, the first restricting portion 46a extends from the bottom surface 42 to a position close to the first elastic member 35a. In the closed state, the first restricting portion 46a is disposed below the first elastic member 35a. The height of the first restricting portion 46a is at least half the dimension from the bottom surface 42 to the first elastic member 35a in the closed state. A portion of the second restricting portion 46b is disposed above the first elastic member 35a.

[0075] The second elastic member 35b is disposed on the inner side wall 43. The second elastic member 35b is fixed to the outer surface of the inner side wall 43 in the vehicle width direction. In the closed state, the second elastic member 35b faces the first elastic member 35a in the vehicle width direction. At least a portion of the second elastic member 35b is disposed at the same height as the center of the inner side wall 43 in the vehicle up-down direction. In the closed state, the second elastic member 35b overlaps with the height center of the inner side wall 43 in a side view of the vehicle. When the mobile information terminal T is stored in the storage section 31, the second elastic member 35b extends in the longitudinal direction of the mobile information terminal T. In this embodiment, the second elastic member 35b extends in the front-rear direction of the vehicle.

[0076] The shaft portion 36 rotatably supports the cover portion 32. The shaft portion 36 extends in the vehicle longitudinal direction. In this embodiment, the shaft portion 36 extends at an angle relative to the vehicle vertical direction and the vehicle width direction. The shaft portion 36 extends at an angle inward and downward in the vehicle width direction from the rear of the vehicle to the front of the vehicle. Note that the shaft portion 36 may extend parallel to the vehicle longitudinal direction, or may extend at an angle relative to either the vehicle vertical direction or the vehicle width direction.

[0077] The shaft portion 36 is disposed below the storage portion 31. The shaft portion 36 overlaps with the storage portion 31 in a plan view of the vehicle. The shaft portion 36 is supported by a shaft support portion 37. The shaft portion 36 is disposed outward in the vehicle width direction from the inner side wall 43.

[0078] The shaft support portion 37 is disposed below the storage portion 31. The shaft support portion 37 is formed at the lower portion of the bottom surface portion .

[0079] The lid cover 38 is fixed to the outside of the lid portion 32 so as to be rotatable integrally with the lid portion 32. The lid cover 38 is fixed to the lid portion 32, for example, by inserting a plastic rivet from the inside of the lid portion 32. The lid cover 38 is arranged so as to form a part of the right side cover 25 in a side view of the vehicle. The lid cover 38 is arranged so that, for example, the boundary portion with the right side cover 25 is flush with the right side cover 25.

[0080] As shown in Fig. 5, the saddle-riding type vehicle 1 includes an opening / closing mechanism 60 and an operating member 62. The opening / closing mechanism 60 maintains the lid portion 32 in a closed state when the lid portion 32 moves to the closed position. The opening / closing mechanism 60 releases the closed state in response to operation of the operating member 62.

[0081] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the opening / closing mechanism 60 includes a locking protrusion 60a. The locking protrusion 60a is arranged so as to be able to advance and retreat relative to the through-hole 33a. The locking protrusion 60a is biased upward by a biasing member (not shown). In the closed state, the locking protrusion 60a protrudes upward from the through-hole 33a and engages with the locked portion 32c of the lid portion 32. This restricts movement of the lid portion 32 to the open position, maintaining the lid portion 32 in the closed state. On the other hand, when the operating member 62 is operated, the locking protrusion 60a is retracted into the through-hole 33a. When the operating member 62 is operated in the closed state, the locked portion 32c of the lid portion 32 is released from the locking protrusion 60a. This causes the lid portion 32 to move from the closed position to the open position.

[0082] The locking projection 60a includes an inclined surface 601a. ​​The inclined surface 601a is formed on the upper surface of the locking projection 60a. The inclined surface 601a is inclined downward toward the outside in the vehicle width direction. When the lid portion 32 moves from the open position to the closed position, the tip end 321b of the visor portion 32b of the lid portion 32 contacts the inclined surface 601a from the outside in the vehicle width direction. As a result, the locking projection 60a is pressed downward and drawn into the through-hole 33a. When the locked portion 32c of the lid portion 32 moves over the locking projection 60a toward the inside in the vehicle width direction, the locking projection 60a engages with the locked portion 32c of the lid portion 32, restricting movement of the lid portion 32 to the open position.

[0083] The operating member 62 is an operating member for opening the lid portion 32. The operating member 62 is an operating member for pulling the locking protrusion 60a into the through-hole 33a. The operating member 62 is connected to the opening / closing mechanism 60. The operating member 62 is an operating member that can be pressed. The operating member 62 is, for example, a push button that can be pressed from the inside in the vehicle width direction toward the outside in the vehicle width direction. The operating member 62 is arranged on the outer surface of the storage portion 31 on the inside in the vehicle width direction.

[0084] In the storage box 30 of the saddle-ride type vehicle 1 according to this embodiment, when the lid 32 of the storage box 30 is closed, the portable information terminal T stored in the storage section 31 of the storage box 30 is pressed in the thickness direction of the portable information terminal T by at least one elastic member 35 and held in the storage section 31. This allows the portable information terminal T to be held by a simple operation of simply rotating the lid 32 of the storage box 30, so that, for example, when riding in the vehicle, the portable information terminal T stored in the storage box 30 can be easily held while balancing the vehicle.

[0085] The portable information terminal T is stored in an upright position between the inner side wall 43 and the at least one restricting portion 46, and a space is formed between the inner side wall 43 and the at least one restricting portion 46 that allows the portable information terminal T to tilt toward the at least one restricting portion 46 when the lid portion 32 is open. This makes it easy to take the portable information terminal T in and out of the storage portion 31, for example, while inside the vehicle.

[0086] Since the inner side wall 43 extends substantially in the vertical direction of the vehicle, when the lid portion 32 transitions from the closed state to the open state, the pressing force of the at least one elastic member 35 pressing the mobile information terminal T is released, and the reaction force allows the mobile information terminal T to move to the at least one restricting portion 46. Therefore, for example, when the lid portion 32 is opened while the user is in the vehicle, the mobile information terminal T can be easily removed from the storage portion 31.

[0087] Since the first elastic member 35a is disposed on the lid 32, when the lid 32 transitions from the open state to the closed state, the first elastic member 35a can support the portable information terminal T until the portable information terminal T comes into contact with at least one of the restricting members 46. Furthermore, since the shaft 36 is disposed below the storage section 31, even if the portable information terminal T falls out of the storage section 31 in the open state, the lid 32 can prevent the portable information terminal T from falling out of the storage box 30.

[0088] Since the storage box 30 is fixed to a member that does not rotate together with the steering device 3, when a person is in the vehicle, the portable information terminal T stored in the storage box 30 can be easily held while balancing the vehicle. In addition, the portable information terminal T is less susceptible to the influence of the rotation of the steering device 3.

[0089] The opening 41 opens upward and outward in the vehicle width direction, and at least one restricting portion 46 is not provided over the entire storage portion 31 in the vehicle width direction, so that the portable information terminal T can be easily taken in and out of the storage portion 31.

[0090] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the gist of the invention.

[0091] The location of the storage box 30 may be changed. It may be disposed in the left side cover 26. The configuration of the storage section 31 may be changed. The configurations of the opening / closing mechanism 60 and the operating member 62 may be changed.

[0092] The saddle-type vehicle 1 may be an electric saddle-type vehicle. In this case, the power unit 6 may include an electric motor, and the tank-like member 4 may include a battery. The battery may be housed in the tank-like member 4.

[0093] The straddle-type vehicle 1 may be a scooter-type vehicle. In this case, the axle 36 extends in the vehicle width direction, and at least a portion of the storage box 30 may be disposed in, for example, a leg shield disposed in front of the seat 5.

[0094] The lid cover 38 may be omitted. In this case, the lid portion 32 of the storage box 30 may be disposed so as to form part of the right side cover 25 when viewed from the side of the vehicle.

[0095] One of the first elastic member 35a and the second elastic member 35b may be omitted. For example, when the first elastic member 35a is omitted, the inner surface of the wall portion 32a of the cover portion 32 may be configured to come into contact with the mobile information terminal T.

[0096] As shown in FIG. 9 , the inner sidewall 43 may extend from below toward the at least one restricting portion 46. That is, the storage box 30 may be configured such that, when the storage box 30 transitions from the closed state to the open state, the inclination of the inner sidewall 43 allows the mobile information terminal T to move to the at least one restricting portion 46. The inclination of the inner sidewall 43 may be achieved by changing the thickness of the second elastic member 35b. In this case, when the storage box 30 transitions from the closed state to the open state, the mobile information terminal T can be easily moved to the at least one restricting portion 46. Alternatively, the upper surface of the bottom portion 42 may be inclined downward as it approaches the at least one restricting portion 46. [Explanation of symbols]
