A vehicle seat structure allowing a reduction in the weight of a seat while ensuring cushioning performance. The seat includes a base plate member with an outer frame forming an outer periphery of the seat, and concave portions with seating positions and a seat back position on an inner peripheral side of the outer frame made concave in a direction of a seating load. In addition, the seat includes a fabric member that is provided in a tensioned state in such a manner so as to close open sides of the concave portions for supporting an occupant's weight. A first cushion member is provided in positions on the fabric member, at least corresponding to the outer frame.

A seat for a vehicle and a seat for a watercraft include a polyurethane-made first cushion body covered with a seat skin. A thermoplastic elastomer-made second cushion body is disposed between the first cushion body and a bottom plate. The relationships of t&#x3c;t, 5 mm&#x2266;t&#x2266;30 mm, and 20 mm&#x2266;t&#x2266;50 mm are established, where tis the material thickness of the first cushion body, and tis the material thickness of the second cushion body. The resulting configuration provides a seat for a vehicle and a seat for watercraft which are capable of securing a good ride comfort.

The present invention relates to a luggage storage device for a motorcycle. In an embodiment, the invention can allow the capacity of a storage box to be large enough to accommodate long goods therein. In an embodiment, the invention includes a storage box having a front helmet storage portion and a rear helmet storage portion. The front helmet storage portion is disposed under a front seat. The rear helmet storage portion is disposed under a rear seat, which together with the front seat, constitutes a tandem type riding seat. The storage box is disposed under the riding seat so as to extend from under a front end of the riding seat up to near an upper portion of a rear cushion that suspends a rear wheel from a rear portion of a vehicle body frame.

A storage box illumination device disposed under the seat of a compact vehicle such as motorcycles. The device provides illuminating to the interior of the storage box when the seat is opened. In an illumination device provided in the storage box to be disposed under the seat of a compact vehicle, an illumination switch for actuating the illumination fixture is provided on the seat closure holding member for holding the seat in the closed state.

A scooter type motorcycle includes a rear fork for supporting a rear wheel of the motorcycle. A front portion of the rear fork is attached to a crankcase of an engine in a vertically swingable manner. The engine is mounted to a body frame through elastic members. The mounting arrangement enhances the comfort of the ride of the motorcycle by reducing vibrations from being transmitted from the rear wheel to the rider.

In coupling a part or component of synthetic resin mounted on a vehicle and a threaded member capable of detachably engaging with the part, the part is provided with a retaining portion for retaining at least a portion of the threaded member against rotation relative to each other, and a claw construction means capable of disengageably engaging with the threaded member so as to inhibit the separation of the threaded member from the retaining portion. With this coupling structure, the operation of molding a part of synthetic resin for a vehicle having a threaded member integrally incorporated therein can be carried out easily and a labor-saving is achieved in the operation. Further, the recycling of parts defectively formed or the like can be promoted.

A saddle-riding type vehicle including a simple, lightweight and high rigidity frame structure. The frame structure includes bending upward center pipes 22, which are joined to lower pipes 21 extending backward from the lower portions of a pair of right and left front pipes 20, respectively; connecting the front pipes 20 to the center portions of the center pipes 22 with straight main pipes, respectively; putting front side pipes 25 between the front pipes 20 and the lower pipes 21 for constituting the three-sides of triangles together with the front pipes 20 and the lower pipes 21, respectively; extending seat rail pipes 26 backward from the center portions of the main pipes 24 by way of cross pipes 23 put between the upper portions of the center pipes 22, respectively; and laying reinforcing pipes 27 put between the front side pipes 25 and the main pipes 24 on the same straight lines as those of the seat rail pipes, respectively. A coupling between the exhaust pipe and the muffler is located behind the rear fenders. An air cleaner is positioned beneath the seat and a recessed portion behind the fuel tank receives the suction duct. The fuel tank or other vessel includes hooks on each side with elastic bands extending to right and left frame members supporting the vessel.

Saddle-riding type vehicle

A radiator is laterally mounted between a pair of right and left frames arranged parallel to each other. The radiator has an upper tank and a lower tank and is mounted onto the frames by means of pins and brackets, the pins going through orifices in the brackets. No particular fitting work is required. The number of the fastening elements for mounting the radiator is reduced and the assembly may be carried out more easily because the radiator may be mounted from the outside of the frames. Further, there are provided two upper and bottom discontinuous spaces formed by a shroud which surrounds the outside of the radiator, and heat generated when the engine is idle, may be dissipated.

Vehicle with radiator

The present invention relates to a reserve tank for a radiator to be mounted on a water-cooled, three- or four-wheeled buggy, which can store therein the given maximum amount of cooling water, even when said buggy is upright erected with the front portion of its body upwards, wherein the reserve tank includes a storing body provided in its upper portion with a water supply inlet at a position closer to the front portion of a buggy body, and a capacity for storing at least the given maximum amount of cooling water is assured within the rear portion of said storing body, further, the storing body includes a side wall having a member recessed to receive a seat rail stay, a front wall having an insertion piece to be fixedly inserted on a hook secured to the seat rail stay, and a rear wall having a bracket to be secured to the seat rail stay.

Reserve tanks for radiators in water-cooled, three- or four-wheeled

A vehicle which may be three-wheeled or four-wheeled, for instance, a buggy comprises a front wheel and a wishbone suspension for supporting the front wheel and a power unit. The body frame comprises a left subframe, a right subframe of essentially quadrilateral configuration, each subframe having an upper side, a front side, a lower side and a rear side. A reinforcing bar connects the front side and the lower side. The subframes form a first loop. The reinforcing bar forms a second loop with the upper side, the rear side, the front side and the lower side. The second loop is within the first loop. The first loop supports the front wheel wishbone suspension and the second loop supports the power unit. The front side has an upper portion and a lower portion and the lower side has a forward portion and a rear portion and the second loop is formed by the upper side, the upper portion of the front side, the rear portion of the lower side and the rear side. A down bar connects the upper bar to the lower side and intersects the reinforcing bar at a point P. The wishbone suspension is supported by the reinforicng bar and the lower side forwardly of point P and the power unit is supported rearwardly of the point P by the reinforcing bar and the lower side.
