Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a snowmobile (snowmobile) which can be driven to run on a snowy road or a snowy field such as a snowy field. The present invention relates to a snowmobile loading device provided with a load rack.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a snowmobile load constructed as follows.

[0003] That is, a vehicle body of a snowmobile has a vehicle body frame extending long in the front-rear direction, a hood detachably attached to a front portion of the vehicle body frame from above, and a midway portion in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body. A vehicle driving means for frictionally joining a lower surface to a running snow surface; and a pair of left and right steering skis slidably supported by a front portion of the vehicle body and having respective lower surfaces joined to the running snow surface. Is stably supported on the running snow surface by the driving means and each steering ski.

[0004] The driving means includes a driving rotary wheel rotatably supported at an intermediate portion in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body frame, a driven rotary wheel disposed at a distance behind the driving rotary wheel, and
A track belt wound around the driving wheel and the driven wheel, suspension means for suspending the driven wheel on the vehicle body, and an internal combustion engine supported at a front portion of the vehicle body. The drive rotating wheels are interlocked and connected. The internal combustion engine is covered from above by a hood together with a front portion of the vehicle body frame.

A resin windshield projecting upward from the rear end of the hood is provided, and this windshield covers the rider on the seat from the front.

When the driving force from the internal combustion engine is transmitted to the driving wheel of the driving means and the driving wheel is rotated, the lower surface of the track belt interlocked with the driving wheel moves rearward, and the snowmobile is driven. Is allowed to travel forward. At this time, if the steering skis are steered by operating the steering wheel, the snowmobile can be steered.

[0007] The snowmobile has a loading device that can load and load luggage such as skis on the snowmobile. The loading device includes a rack that is supported by a rear portion of the vehicle body and is capable of supporting a load.

A head lamp for forward irradiation is attached to the base of the windshield.

[0009]

In order to improve the loading capacity of the snowmobile loading device having the above-mentioned structure, it is conceivable to increase the capacity of the rack. The weight of the rack and the load on the rack increases, and the weight tends to cause the front portion of the vehicle body to rise with reference to the lower surface of the driving means. There is a possibility that the pressing force is reduced and the maneuverability of the steered ski is reduced.

Therefore, it is conceivable to provide a rack on the upper surface side of the hood. However, simply doing so causes the following problems.

First, during maintenance work on vehicle components such as an internal combustion engine disposed at the front of the vehicle body frame, the hood and the rack are detached from the front of the vehicle body. It is extremely complicated to perform the above-mentioned detachment work for each of the rack and the rack, which may complicate the work such as the maintenance.

Second, the hood may be easily damaged by receiving a load from a rack or a load on the rack.

Third, since the rack is located in front of the headlamp, the front irradiation by the headlamp is blocked by the rack and the luggage placed on the rack, and the function of the front irradiation is hindered. May be caused.

Therefore, it is conceivable to attach the headlamp to the front part of the rack described above. However, if the headlamp is simply arranged, the headlamp collides with the front part of the vehicle body, particularly when the snowmobile travels. The blown-up snow tends to collide with the front surface of the headlamp frequently, and is piled up on the hood on the front side, again causing the possibility that the function of the headlamp is hindered.

Fourth, since the luggage on the rack is located above the front of the vehicle body, the snow blown up above the front of the vehicle body can easily fall on the luggage as described above. This is not preferred for luggage where waterproofness is desired.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to improve the loading capacity of a snowmobile loading device.

Further, even when the loading capacity is improved as described above, good maneuverability by the steering ski can be ensured, and work such as maintenance of vehicle components below the hood can be easily performed. And
It is an object of the present invention to prevent the hood from receiving a large load due to luggage, etc., to ensure a good function of forward illumination of a headlamp, and to load luggage where waterproofness is desired. And
