The present invention relates to a connection device (100) for a pannier (10) for a vehicle, and a pannier comprising such connection device. The connection device comprises; a pivotable support member (11) comprising an attachment arrangement (20) for attaching to the vehicle. The pivotable support member (11) is adapted to be pivoted between an attachment position, in which the attachment arrangement (20) is exposed for attachment to the vehicle, and a concealed position. The present invention provides a connection device comprising an attachment arrangement. The attachment arrangement can be displaced so as not to interfere with objects, e.g. getting snared or caught.

Straddle type vehicle (1) with a body frame (2); a seat (7) supported by the body frame (2), the seat (7) comprising at least a seat main portion (8) for a rider; a bracket (9) supported by the body frame (2); a load support frame (10) detachably connected to the bracket (9); and a load support portion (15) positioned rearward of the seat main portion (8) and supported by the body frame (2); wherein the load support frame (1) includes a load carrying portion (12) configured to contact with the load support portion (15).

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Fahrradadapter (1) zum Ankoppeln eines Fahrradzubehörteils an einen Fahrradgepäckträger. Um einen besonders bedienerfreundlichen Fahrradadapter bereitzustellen ist vorgesehen, dass eine Positioniervorrichtung (3) eine Bewegung des Fahrradadapters (1) in eine Längsachsenrichtung verhindert und eine Riegeleinheit (6), die in Längsachsenrichtung zwischen einer Freigabeposition und einer Verriegelungsposition bewegbar ist, eine Bewegung des am Fahrradgepäckträger montierten Fahrradadapters (1) senkrecht zur Längsachsenrichtung verhindert.

A mounting structure for a trunk device for a saddle type vehicle includes: a carrier (12) provided on a saddle type vehicle (10); a trunk device (20) detachably mounted to the carrier (12); front and rear locking sections (31, 41) projecting towards the carrier (12) from a mounting surface (21) of the trunk device (20); and an engaging hook (51) which operates according to an operator's operation and which engages with the carrier (12) to fix the trunk device (20) to the carrier (12). The front locking section (31) and the rear locking section (41) are composed of a front locking hook (31) and a rear locking hook (41) which are bent in the same direction (forward or rearward). The engaging hook (51) is bent in the direction opposite to the bending direction of both the locking hooks (31, 41). At the time of a fixing operation by the operator, the engaging hook (51) is moved in the direction opposite to the bending direction of both the locking hooks (31, 41), to engage with the carrier (12).

This arrangement can reduce the rigidity required of the trunk, and render the trunk smaller in material thickness and weight.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a technique which can avoid the need to supply different types of vehicle body frame, even if different parts are to be attached to the rear of the frame.

Stay members 19L, 19R, to which various parts can be attached, are provided at a rear portion of a motorcycle, and stay supporting portions 45L, 45R which support the stay members 19L, 19R are provided on a vehicle body frame 11. The various parts may include side bag supporting members 21 L, 21 R, a carrier member 23, and/or grip members. The side bag supporting members 21 L, 21 R and the carrier member 23 are fastened together to the stay members 19L, 19R by fastening members 25, and the stay members 19L, 19R (to which the side bag supporting members 21 L, 21 R and the carrier member 23 are fastened) are then fastened to the stay supporting portions 45L, 45R.

A motorcycle (1) is provided a trunk (8) having a storage compartment (A). The trunk (8) includes a trunk body member (82) having an upper opening, and including an outer body member (821) and an inner body member (821) provided inside the outer body member (821), and a lid member (83) attached to the trunk body member (82) so as to cover the opening of the trunk body member (82) and provided with a lamp device (81) for illuminating a rear side of the trunk (8), the lid member (83) including an outer lid member (831) and an inner lid member (832) provided inside the outer lid member (831). A wire cord (811) of the lamp device (81) is passed through a gap (83b) between the outer lid member (831) and the inner lid member (832) and a gap (82b) between the outer body member (821) and the inner body member (822).

Engaging element (10) for a panier (13) and for fastening to a side of a connecting element (40) with a base (42) on a bicycle luggage carrier (6). The engaging element (10) has a main part (14) with a receiver space (16) for a ledge (45) along a length direction X of the base (42). The engaging element (10) has two locking bodies (18) which are linearly movable in opposition to each other in the length direction X and can be operated via sides of the panier (13) between a locked position in which the engaging element (10) fastened to the base (42) is linearly immovable at least in a transverse direction Y in relation to the base (42) and a released position in which the fastened engaging element (10) is movable in relation to the base (42).

A saddlebag attachment structure includes: saddlebag attachment holes (5) provided at a vehicle body rear portion (1); a pillion step (22) attached to a side surface of the vehicle body rear portion (1) with attachment bolts (28); a saddlebag (11) which can be attached to the saddlebag attachment hole (5); and a latch arm (31) whose front side is attached to the side surface of the vehicle body rear portion (1), whose rear side is engaged with the saddlebag (11) and which is separate from the pillion step (22). The latch arm (31) is attached with the attachment bolts (28) to an attachment plate (27) where the pillion step (22) is attached. The latch arm (31) is provided to extend rearward from the attachment plate (27).

Direct attachment of the latch arm (31) to the attachment plate (27) reduces the influence of the load applied to the pillion step (22), and makes it possible to stably position the saddlebag (11) by using the latch arm (31).
