った。Since such vehicles drive on off-road roads such as sandy and muddy areas,
Although it is desirable to install a large-capacity air cleaner, a shock absorber is installed between the rear of the swing arm, which is pivotally supported on the body frame at the front end and swingably supports the rear two wheels at the rear end, and the body frame. In front of this buffer,
At the same time, since the air cleaner was placed in a limited space behind the engine, there was a limit to the increase in capacity.
又この種自動三輪車の旋回性能の面で車両の重心の近傍
に重量物を配設置−ることか望ましい。Also, in terms of the turning performance of this type of tricycle, it is desirable to place heavy objects near the center of gravity of the vehicle.

する。In order to achieve such an object, the present invention provides a shock absorber for the rear two wheels, which is relatively heavy, by disposing it behind the engine mounted near the front of the vehicle body, bringing the shock absorber close to the center of gravity of the vehicle. The air cleaner is located behind the rear wheels between the two rear wheels, and is arranged so as to overlap the outer shape of the rear two wheels when viewed from the side, making the air cleaner large.

後輪１３．１３が支持されている。On the other hand, a swing arm 10, which is a carrier fork, is swingably supported between the lower portions of the left and right center frames 24, 24, and the swing arm 10 connects left and right arm members IL1.1 extending rearward to a cross member (not shown). Two rear wheels 13 and 13, which are drive wheels, are supported at the rear end of the swing arm 10.

６間に収まるように構成されている。As described above, the air cleaner 15 connected to the rear end of the main pipe 21 is formed up to approximately the center of the rear frame 25, and the lower part wraps around the outer shape of the rear wheel 13 when viewed from the side (in detail, the swing arm 10), and the width of the air cleaner 150 is larger than the left and right carrier frames 25.25 and subframes 26.2.
It is designed to fit within 6 spaces.
尚図中１９は乗員用のステップである。Note that 19 in the figure is a step for the passenger.

三輪車１の旋回性能をより良好化することができる。Therefore, the relatively heavy shock absorber 14 is replaced by the air cleaner 15.
Since it is disposed further forward and closer to the vehicle center of gravity G, the heavy object is disposed around the vehicle center of gravity 0, and therefore the turning performance of the tricycle 1 can be further improved.

きる。A shock absorber 14 for the rear wheel 13 and an air cleaner 15 are arranged behind the engine 8 in this order, and the air cleaner 15 is located between the rear wheels 13 and 13 and wraps around the outer shape of the rear wheel 13 when viewed from the side. Therefore, without changing the height position of the seat 9, the large space formed by the seat 9, shock absorber 14, and swing arm 10 is equipped with an air cleaner 15 with a sufficiently large capacity compared to the conventional one. can do.

なる。That is, whereas in the past, the air cleaner was disposed within a limited space with a substantially triangular side surface formed by the engine, the shock absorber, and the swing arm, in the present invention, the shock absorber 14 is disposed immediately after the engine 8. , this is 14 and the upper part is sheet 9,
The lower part is formed by the swing arm 10, and a large capacity air cleaner 15 can be disposed in a large space opened to the rear, thus improving engine performance.
又シート９を車体から片側に開く等して外せば、エアク
リーナ１５のメンテナンスが容易となる。Furthermore, if the seat 9 is removed from the vehicle body by opening it to one side, etc., maintenance of the air cleaner 15 becomes easy.

ことができる。Furthermore, since the lower end of the shock absorber 14 is connected to the front side of the swing arm 10, its shock absorbing stroke can be shortened and its durability is improved. In addition, in the embodiment, one shock absorber 14 is used, but two shock absorbers 14 can also be used. possible, and also between the shock absorber 14 and the swing arm 10.
As is clear from the above explanation (according to the present invention, the shock absorber for the rear two wheels and the air cleaner are arranged in this order behind the engine, and the air cleaner is installed behind the engine). Since the lamp is located between the rear two wheels and parallel to the outer shape of the wheels, it is possible to simultaneously increase the capacity of the air cleaner and place heavy objects near the center of gravity of the vehicle. This type is suitable for vehicles such as tricycles, and can exhibit many advantages such as contributing to improved engine performance and better turning performance.
