Lighting apparatus of riding type vehicle

Abstract

The invention provides a lighting apparatus of a riding type vehicle, wherein the light source type of the lighting apparatus is not restricted, the radiating light is not blocked by the key carried by the hand of a rider, and the key switch can be effectively lightened. A plane inclined portion (45) and a plane vertical portion (46) are formed on a leg guard plate (25) arranged opposite to a passenger, the inclined portion (45) is inclined foward wherein the portion above the vehicle is fronter than the portion below the vehicle, and the vertical portion (46) is vertically arranged from the inclined portion (45) to the portion above the vehicle. The portion lightened by the switch light (80) is positioned at the opening (45a) of the inclined portion (45) to be matched with a combined switch (50). The lighting surface of the switch light (80) is positioned at the opening (46a) of the vertical portion (46) to be matched with the switch light (80). When observed from the side of the vehicle body, the axis direction SJ of the lock core (56) of the combined switch (50) is crossed with the radiating direction PJ of the switch light (80) behind the vehicle body, and thereby the combined switch (50) is lightened from the front sideof the vehicle body.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a lighting device for a saddle-type vehicle, and in particular to a lighting device for a saddle-type vehicle that illuminates a main switch for turning on and off the power supply of the vehicle by indirect lighting. Background technique [0002] Hitherto, lighting devices installed near the main switch (key switch) with indirect lighting to enable easy operation of the main switch of the saddle-riding vehicle even in dark environments such as nighttime are known. [0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a structure in which, in a pedal-type saddle-type two-wheeled vehicle having a handlebar cover for covering the handlebar, a substantially vertical surface provided on the rear side of the vehicle body of the handlebar cover is illuminated. On the main switch, the lighting made of incandescent lamps is installed on the same vertical plane and above the main switch. [0004] Patent Document 1: Japanese Utility Model Public...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in the technology described in Patent Document 1, since the main switch and the lighting lamp are arranged on the same surface, the irradiation direction of the lighting lamp is parallel to the axis direction of the main switch and points in the same direction, so there is a problem that the irradiation light of the lighting lamp is difficult to According to the problem of the main switch

Especially when the light source of the lighting lamp adopts a power-saving light-emitting diode (LED), since the directivity of the irradiating light becomes high, if the main switch and the lighting lamp are buried on the same plane, the irradiating light can be effectively illuminated. Getting to the master switch becomes more difficult

In addition, the structure in which the irradiation light is irradiated onto the main switch from directly above the main switch, when the occupant operates the main switch, there is also the possibility that the irradiating light is blocked by the occupant's hand or the inserted portable key, and the total It is difficult to see the function display of the switch, etc.
