DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for locking a rear opening / closing lid and a seat of a motorcycle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In some scooter-type motorcycles, a fuel tank or an oil tank is mounted at the rear of the vehicle body.
Then, the upper side is covered with a rear opening / closing lid so that refueling cannot be performed unless the rear opening / closing lid is unlocked and opened.
Also, some motorcycles have an oil tank or a battery mounted at the rear of the vehicle body, so that refueling and inspection cannot be performed unless the rear opening / closing lid is unlocked and opened.

In addition, the seat can be opened and closed with a hinge,
In addition, when a storage box is provided below the sheet so that portable items and the like can be stored in the storage box, the sheet can be locked and opened and closed using a key.

Usually, the rear opening / closing lid and the sheet locking device are provided separately and independently. In addition, the locking device for the rear opening / closing lid is connected to the seat locking device using a cable wire, and when the key is rotated to one side, the seat is opened, and when the key is rotated to the other side, the rear opening / closing lid is opened. Some have done so. For example, see JP-A-4-159189.

[0005]

In the case where an independent lock is attached to the rear opening / closing lid and the seat, two locks are required, the cost is high, the mounting space for the lock is large, and the volume of the fuel tank and the like is large. However, there is an inconvenience that the size is reduced due to the restriction. Also, the place to insert the key is
Two parts can be seen on the body, which is not desirable in terms of design.

The locking of the rear opening / closing lid is used to lock the sheet.
The connection using cable wires requires only one lock, but the structure is complicated, and the cost can be reduced only slightly as compared with using two locks.

In view of the above, the present invention can lock both the rear opening / closing lid and the sheet with a single cylinder lock, thereby achieving a large cost reduction effect and a small space. It is an object of the present invention to provide a motorcycle rear opening / closing lid and a seat locking device which can surely secure the motorcycle.

[0008]

The present invention has the following configuration to achieve the above object. That is, the present invention
A motorcycle including a seat whose front end is rotatably supported, a storage box provided below the seat, and a rear opening / closing lid provided on the rear side of the seat, is attached to the rear opening / closing lid. A rear opening / closing lid and a motorcycle, wherein the rear opening / closing lid and the seat are sequentially locked by a rotating lock plate attached to the cylinder lock. Is a locking device.

According to the present invention, the rear opening / closing lid and the sheet can be sequentially locked with one cylinder lock. For example, the lock plate is first inserted into the window hole of the storage box to lock the rear opening / closing lid, and then the lock plate is inserted into the seat striker to lock the seat. When unlocking, the key is turned in reverse to unlock the sheet first and then unlock the rear opening / closing lid. The sheet is opened when the rear opening / closing lid is opened, but if there is no use in the storage box, the sheet is closed by its own weight and cannot be opened unless lifted.

Also, the cylinder lock is not a special accessory, and the installation space is small, so that there is sufficient space around the cylinder lock. For example, there is little restriction on the capacity of the fuel tank, and the cylinder lock can be made into one cylinder lock. Therefore, cost reduction is also large. Further, for example, if the lock plate is inserted into the striker of the seat from the lateral direction, the force for lifting the rear end of the seat is large, and locking can be reliably performed.

[0011]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIGS. The illustrated case shows a case where a scooter-type motorcycle is equipped with a fuel tank 3 at a rear portion of a vehicle body 2 behind a seat 1 on which a driver sits. On the upper surface of the vehicle body 2 on the rear side of the seat 1, a rear opening / closing lid 4 with a rear end hinged is attached, and when the front part of the rear opening / closing lid 4 is opened upward, a fuel supply port 5 of the fuel tank 3 appears, You will be able to refuel. The front lower end of the seat 1 is hinged and rotatably supported, so that the rear side of the seat 1 can be lifted upward and opened forward. Then, on the lower side of the seat 1, a storage box 6 is attached,
It is designed to accommodate portable items.

A cylinder lock 7 is attached to the front end of the rear opening / closing lid 4 so as to protrude downward. An L-shaped lock plate 8 pivotally operated by a key is connected to the lower end of the cylinder lock 7. A horizontally long window hole 9 is formed near the upper surface of the rear wall of the storage box 6. When the lock plate 8 is rotated by the key, the lock plate 8 is inserted into the window hole 9, the rear opening / closing lid 4 is locked, and cannot be opened. At the rear end of the bottom plate 10 of the seat 1, a striker 11 having a concave shape in the front-rear direction is attached. When the lock plate 8 is further rotated by the key, the lock plate 8
Is inserted into striker 11, and sheet 1 is locked and cannot be lifted and opened.

As described above, the lock plate 8 is first inserted into the window hole 9 of the storage box 6 to lock the rear opening / closing lid 4, and then inserted into the striker 11 of the seat 1 to secure the seat 1. Lock it. When unlocking, the key inserted into the cylinder lock 7 is turned in the opposite direction, the lock plate 8 is first removed from the striker 11 of the seat 1 to open the seat 1, and then the lock is made through the window 9 of the storage box 6. The rear opening / closing lid 4 can be opened by removing the plate 8. Therefore, if you want to open only sheet 1,
When the key is slightly rotated, only the seat 1 is unlocked, and when only the rear opening / closing lid 4 is to be opened, the key is completely rotated to unlock the rear opening / closing lid 4. When the rear opening / closing lid 4 is opened, the sheet 1 is also opened. However, if there is no use in the storage box 6, the sheet 1 is closed by its own weight and cannot be opened unless lifted.

According to this embodiment having the above configuration,
Both the rear opening / closing lid 4 and the seat 1 can be sequentially locked with one cylinder lock 7. Also, cylinder lock 7
Has no special accessories and requires only a small mounting space, so that there is room around the fuel tank 3
Capacity can be increased. Also, cylinder lock 7
Can be reduced to one unit, which can reduce costs. In addition, since the lock plate 8 is inserted into the striker 11 of the seat 1 from the lateral direction, the force for lifting the rear end of the seat 1 is large, and locking can be reliably performed. Also, since there is only one cylinder lock 7 and only one location can be seen at the key insertion location, the design is good.

[0015]

As described above, since the present invention is constructed as described above, it is the simplest single cylinder lock that does not require any special accessories, and the locking of both the rear opening / closing lid and the seat is achieved. As a result, the cost reduction effect is high, the mounting space is small, and the volume of the fuel tank and the like can be secured.
