がった。A meter cover made of translucent resin is provided on the top surface of the headlight cover of a motorcycle, and the meter cover is designed to appropriately illuminate the speedometer, tachometer, and other meters installed directly below the meter cover. However, when installing it on a meter cover or a tudorite cover,
Conventionally, the peripheral edge of the meter cover was tied to the window of the headlight cover using separate fasteners such as screws, which made the installation work complicated and caused the head of the fastener to interfere with the appearance. When it appears, it looks like there is a lack of unity between the two power bars.

った。Also, the peripheral edge of the meter cover is bonded to the window of the headlight cover using an adhesive, but this is rather troublesome as the adhesive must be applied evenly to the bonded area.

In other words, the stress cannot be distributed, and the elastic deformation of the meter cover follows the elastic deformation of the headlight cover caused by the external force. I couldn't do it.

るにある。The present invention has been accomplished to solve the above-mentioned inconveniences, and an object of the present invention is to form concave engagement portions on substantially parallel opposite sides of the meter cover so as to connect the window portion of the headlight cover with the unevenness. At the same time, a protrusion formed integrally hanging down on the other substantially parallel opposite side of the meter cover, which is different from the above, and a small hole drilled in the window of the headlight cover are fitted into the meter cover. When attached to the headlight cover, the head of the fastener does not appear on the top surface of the meter cover, and there is no need for separate fasteners such as screws, making it easy to assemble both parts. Stress is distributed smoothly even under the different conditions, thereby effectively achieving not only a sense of unity between the two force bars in appearance, but also improved assembly workability and smooth follow-up of elastic deformation. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for a meter cover on a motorcycle that allows for the mounting of a meter cover on a motorcycle.

以下に本考案の好適一実施例を添付図面に基づいて詳述

A front wheel 7 is supported at the lower part of the two left and right front forks 6 supported at the left and right sides, and a steering wheel 8 is provided at the - side. A bracket 9 supported between the two bridges 4 and 5 is used to reach the front part of the bridge, and a rear light 10 on the passenger side is attached to the upper part of the bracket 9 via a stay 11 and the like.
A meter unit 12 such as a speedometer and a tachometer is disposed toward one side.

力の乗員側に反射するのが防止される。The headlight cover 13 is made of hard synthetic resin that is opaque and suitably colored, and a meter cover 14 made of translucent resin of pale blue or the like is provided on the upper surface that slopes upward at the rear. This is for appropriately lighting the meter unit 12 disposed directly below. A meter visor 15 made of opaque resin such as brown is interposed between the meter unit 12 and the meter cover 14.
5, the light taken in from the meter cover 14 enters the meter display section of the unit 12 directly from the front.
This prevents the force from being reflected back to the passenger side.

。First, the meter cover 14, which has a substantially horizontal U-shape expanded to the same cross-sectional shape as the window 34 formed in the rear half of the "-" face 31 of the headlight cover 13, is pinched from both sides (applying force to open the window 34). Approach the section 34 from the - side and remove the meter cover 1.
While the right side edges 41 and 41 of the loaf of No. 4 are brought into contact with the step-shaped concave square seat portion 36 of the peripheral edge 35 of the window portion 34, the side edges 41 and
The peripheral edge 35 of the note window 34 is inserted between this 41 and the locking piece 42 which hangs outwardly so as to be engaged with the protrusions and recesses.

仮組み付けすることができる。Next, two protrusions 4-1 are formed hanging down on both edges 43 and 43 of the meter cover 14, and small holes 37 and 4-1 are formed on the edges 43 and 43 of the periphery 35 of the window portion 34, respectively. ...Insert from the -L side. Through the above-1-1, the meter horn bar 14 can be easily positioned and temporarily assembled to the headlight cover 13.

Insert 0. As a result, the fitted state is maintained as described above, and thus the meter cover 14 is reliably attached to the headlight cover 13.

も大幅に達成されることとなる。As described above, according to the mounting structure according to the present invention, the locking piece 42 and the protrusion 44 are integrally formed on the lower surface of the meter cover 14 without using any fasteners such as screws. Since they are assembled by engaging or inserting into the window portions 34, the weight can be reduced, the head of the fastener does not appear on the top surface of the meter cover, and it is easy to install, which improves the appearance. Not only the sense of unity of the double force bar but also the ease of assembly will be greatly improved.

弾性変形することとなる。In addition, since the left and right edges 41 and 41 of the meter cover 14 are not fixed to the headlight cover 13 but are engaged with the concave and convex portions,
Even when an external force is applied in the lateral direction acting on the headlight cover 13, the engaging portion can receive this force and smoothly disperse the stress, and can follow the headlight which is elastically deformed due to the external force. Similarly, the meter cover is also elastically deformed.

Stress is dispersed in the lateral and vertical directions on the peripheral edge of the mounting seat 36 by a wall portion continuous with the mounting seat 36, and similarly follows elastic deformation.

拭き取りやすい。In the embodiment, the meter cover 14 is recessed into the Tudorite power bar 13 so that the surface is flat, so that in addition to the sense of unity of the above-mentioned appearance -1-, it is easy to wipe off dirt etc. adhering to the surface. .

ることができる。As is clear from the following, according to the present invention, 1. Engage the substantially parallel opposite sides of the meter cover with the window of the headlight cover by engaging the protrusions hanging down on the other substantially parallel opposite sides different from the above, and insert the small holes drilled in the window. Since the double force bar is assembled by fitting, etc., the head of the fastener does not appear on the first or second side of the meter cover, and it can be easily assembled, and stress can be smoothly released even in a loss condition. Minute 11t is shown in Figure J' + Lo, etc. Therefore, appearance 1- of the two-force bar has a sense of unity and assembling (, J work is of course improved, and smoothing of elastic deformation is also effectively achieved (-obtained etc.) It is possible to take advantage of the following advantages.
