Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a windshield device for motorcycles and other vehicles.

(Prior Art) As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional device of this type includes a windshield plate b secured to a fairing a at the front of a vehicle body through an elongated hole c formed at the lower part of the front edge thereof, with bolts d.
It is known to be adjustable and movable along the elongated hole c.

(Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention) In such a device, in order to prevent the windshield plate b from wobbling on both sides, the lower portions on both sides must also be secured with bolts d' in elongated holes c' formed therein. When adjusting and moving the fairing b, it is necessary to tighten and loosen these bolts d', which is not only a troublesome task, but also requires the use of moldings, etc. to hide these bolts d and d' in consideration of appearance. Therefore, there is a disadvantage that the number of parts increases.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides a windshield plate on the front fairing of the vehicle body so that it can be adjusted and moved. The present invention is characterized in that guide grooves are formed in each of the housings, and the edges on both sides of the windshield plate are slidably engaged with the guide grooves.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
Referring to FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 designates a vehicle body equipped with wheels 2 at the front and rear, an engine 3 in the middle of the vehicle body 1, a fuel tank 4 above the engine 3, and a passenger seat 5 behind the tank 4. The components were arranged to form a motorcycle as a whole. A fairing 6 is provided at the front of the vehicle body 1, and a windshield plate 7 is attached to this so as to be adjustable and movable in accordance with the physique of the occupant.

Although the above is not particularly different from the conventional one, in the present invention, guide grooves 10 are formed in the housings 9, 9 of the pair of left and right back mirrors 8, 8 disposed on the fairing 6, and a windshield plate is formed in each guide groove 10. Each of the back mirrors 8 is adapted to be slidably engaged with the edges on both sides of the back mirror 8 as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5. A guide groove 10 that opens forward is formed inside the extension of the mounting portion 9a of the housing 9, and a mounting portion 9a integrally extends forward from the housing 9. The mounting portion 9a is attached to both sides of the upper edge of the fairing 6 with screws or the like, and the edges on both sides of the windshield plate 7 are slidably fitted into the guide grooves 10.

The guide groove 10 is connected to the vehicle body 1 as shown in FIG.
The height of the windshield plate 7 can be adjusted as a straight line extending in the vertical direction, or as an arc with a relatively small curvature as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. The shape of the guide groove 10 may be arbitrary, such as making the angle adjustable, or making the guide groove 10 arcuate with a relatively large curvature so that the height and rearward inclination angle of the windshield plate 7 can be adjusted.

In this case, by making the guide groove 10 arc-shaped, the height of the windshield plate 7 can be adjusted and the distance between the passenger viewpoint and the windshield plate 7 can be maintained at an appropriate value. The windshield plate 7 as shown by A in the figure is extended upward and at the same time the angle of inclination towards the rear becomes large, and the windshield plate 7 shown by B in the figure
It is possible to make adjustments to suit the physique and riding position of the occupant by simultaneously lowering the angle of inclination and reducing the angle of inclination.

Furthermore, in the illustrated example, in order to electrically adjust and move the windshield plate 7, a drive source 11a such as a motor and a push rod 1 are connected to the drive source 11a through gears in a gearbox 11b and are slidable up and down.
A bracket 13 fixes the power unit 11 consisting of 1c to the mounting stay 12 of the fairing 6.
The push rod 11c is pivoted to the windshield plate 7.
It is attached to the lower end of the windshield plate 7 via a ball joint 11d, so that the windshield plate 7 can be adjusted and moved by the drive source 11a.

In the drawings, reference numeral 14 indicates a seal rubber attached to the windshield plate 6 at the end of the fairing 16.

Next, its operation will be explained.

The edges on both sides of the windshield plate 7 are fitted into the guide grooves 10 of the rearview mirrors 8, so when adjusting and moving the windshield plate 7 according to the physique of the occupant, the windshield plate 7 is guided by the guide grooves 10. The windshield plate 7 is moved smoothly, and the support rigidity of both sides of the windshield plate 7 against the traveling wind is increased by engagement with each guide groove 10, so that no wobbling occurs.

(Effects of the present invention) As described above, according to the present invention, guide grooves are formed in the housings of the pair of left and right rear mirrors arranged in the fairing, and the edges on both sides of the windshield plate are slidably engaged with these guide grooves. This makes it possible to easily adjust the windshield plate without having to bolt bolts on both sides of the plate, and eliminates the need for moldings and separate guide members, reducing the number of parts. have
