Description

DESCRIPTION

MOTORCYCLE FENDER AND MOTORCYCLE EQUIPPED THEREOF

The present invention relates to a motorcycle fender for arrangement on a motorcycle according to the preamble of claim 1. The invention also relates to a motorcycle according to claim 26.

A motorcycle mudguard of this type can be placed, for example, on the front area of a motorcycle and here cover the front wheel, to protect the motorcycle driver from water, stones or similar that may be thrown up by the front wheel.

In the case of a motorcycle, it can be an off-road sports motorcycle used, for example, on a motorcycle or it can also be a motorcycle approved for driving on the road with a lighting device on the front side of the motorcycle.

The applicant has already disclosed such a motorcycle mudguard, which has also proven itself in practice. The applicant has acknowledged that the known motorcycle mudguard can still be improved. On the one hand, this concerns the protection of the driver when driving the motorcycle that the motorcycle mudguard features over, for example, unpaved terrain and also of the motorcycle itself as well as the assembly of the motorcycle during its manufacture.

Such a motorcycle typically features a frontal silhouette, which depends on the parts or components of the motorcycle exposed to the motorcycle's airflow during riding.

The motorcycle fender is also exposed to high loads when the motorcycle is driven on unpaved terrain, which should not result in breakage or damage to the motorcycle fender even though the net weight of the motorcycle fender is reduced when the motorcycle is used as intended.

In view of the above, the present invention is based on the objective of providing a motorcycle fender that improves the protection of the driver and, in addition, has high strength and positively influences the intended operation of the motorcycle. A motorcycle equipped with the motorcycle fender according to the invention will also be provided.

The invention created to achieve this objective presents, with respect to the motorcycle fender, the characteristics indicated in claim 1, advantageous configurations thereof are described in the additional claims.

With respect to the motorcycle, the invention further presents the features indicated in claim 26, an advantageous configuration of the motorcycle is described in the additional claim.

The invention provides a motorcycle fender for arrangement on a motorcycle, which has a telescopic suspension fork with two telescopic suspension fork legs, which have a respective longitudinal central axis which together define a longitudinal central plane, wherein the motorcycle fender is provided with an elongated first main body as well as a second main body extending from a first end of the first main body at a first angle and a third main body extending from a second end of the first main body at a second angle, wherein the first main body has side edges running on both sides of its longitudinal axis and side wings extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis are provided on the side edges, and the second main body has a central part extending along its longitudinal axis and side parts extending on both sides of the central part at an angle away from it, wherein in the region of the first end a receiving device is provided, which is configured to receive a fairing component, in which the fairing component can be fixed to the motorcycle with a fastening means and the fastening means has a segment, which runs at an angle to the longitudinal central plane, in which the receiving device is configured to receive the fairing component, such that at least one segment of the fastening means runs at least mostly parallel to the longitudinal central plane.

In the case of the elongated first main body, in a side view of the motorcycle fender according to the invention, it can be an upper part which, therefore, in the intended arrangement of the motorcycle fender on an off-road sports motorcycle in the form of, for example, a dirt bike, covers the front wheel or the front tire in the upper area, when the lower area of the front wheel or the front tire is arranged on the roadway.

In a side view, the first main body has a first end which, in the position of the motorcycle fender arranged on the motorcycle, is arranged closer to the front region of the motorcycle than the second end of the first main body. In the case of the front region of the motorcycle, this is an area in which the telescopic suspension fork is fixed to the motorcycle frame. The telescopic suspension fork has two telescopic suspension fork legs, each having a longitudinal center axis which together define a longitudinal center plane. The longitudinal center plane is thus defined by the longitudinal center axes of the telescopic suspension fork legs and thus, when viewed in the direction of travel of the motorcycle, runs in an area in front of a possible fuel tank of the motorcycle equipped with an internal combustion engine, in the direction of travel of the motorcycle in front of a control head mounting tube of the motorcycle.

Therefore, in the forward direction of travel of the motorcycle, the second end of the first main body is positioned in front of the first end of the first main body, and the second end of the first main body is attached to the third main body, which, at a second angle, extends from the first main body, specifically viewed in the direction of the vertical axis of the motorcycle in an upright position, is directed downward, so that the third main body covers the front area of the front wheel or the front tire.

At the rear end of the first main body, i.e. the end of the first main body, which in the case of a motorcycle fender arranged on the motorcycle, is located adjacent to the front area of the motorcycle, i.e. adjacent to the front wheel fork or telescopic suspension fork of the motorcycle, a second main body is attached to the first main body, which usually also has an elongated configuration, i.e., when viewed in the longitudinal direction of the second main body, it has a larger dimension than in the transverse direction, i.e. in the width direction.

Therefore, the second main body is joined to the first main body at a first angle so that the second main body, when viewed from the first main body, projects downwardly, and thus, the second main body with a motorcycle fender position provided on the motorcycle covers the rear area of the front tire or front wheel in the direction of travel of the motorcycle and thus is responsible for preventing stones, water or dirt particles thrown up by the front wheel from being directed toward the driver sitting on the motorcycle seat. Similarly, the second main body is also responsible for preventing stones, water, dirt particles, mud or the like from being directed toward a heat exchanger, which is usually provided in the front side area of the motorcycle in front of the propulsion engine.

The second main body of the motorcycle mudguard therefore takes on an essential protective function for both the driver and motorcycle components, such as the aforementioned heat exchanger, because otherwise, at high speed, stones hitting the heat exchanger could damage the heat exchanger.

The second main body has a central portion extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the second main body and has side portions extending on both sides of the central portion at an angle away from it, which overlap with the wheel shell of the front wheel to enhance the protection effect.

A receiving device is provided in the region of the first end of the first main body, which is designed to receive a fairing component. The fairing component can be designed, for example, in the form of a start number plate, where such a start number plate is usually attached to a motorcycle intended for off-road sports competitions, i.e., for example, a demotocmss motorcycle.

The fairing component can also be designed in the form of a headlight mask holder, on which a headlight mask can be arranged, which surrounds a headlight for the motorcycle, whereby in such an embodiment it can be a road-approved motorcycle equipped with a lighting device.

Thus, the motorcycle mudguard according to the invention is intended for both applications, i.e. for arrangement on a motorcycle, for example in the form of a racing motorcycle, and also for arrangement on a motorcycle, which is equipped with a lighting device, i.e. a motorcycle approved for driving on the road.

The fairing component can also be designed as a headlight mask, which alone or together with the headlight mask holder on the motorcycle can be detachably attached to the receiving device.

In this case, the fairing component is fixed to the motorcycle with a fixing means and the fixing means has a segment, which runs at an angle to the longitudinal central plane, in which the receiving device is configured to receive the fairing component, such that at least one segment of the fixing means runs at least mostly parallel to the longitudinal central plane.

This arrangement ensures that the fastening means, which is for example a screw with a screw shank having a longitudinal central axis, can be fastened to the motorcycle during assembly of the motorcycle in such a way that the section, which may be a partial region of the screw shank, runs at least substantially parallel to the longitudinal central axis of the telescopic suspension fork leg. The motorcycle, which is intended for the arrangement of the motorcycle fender, has a telescopic suspension fork, which in turn has two telescopic suspension fork legs.

The inventive design of the motorcycle mudguard provides that the receiving device can receive said fairing component in such a way that the fastening means can be positioned or inserted, for example, into an upper side of the fairing component, in particular in such a way that the fastening means can be arranged on the motorcycle or the fairing component in an arrangement with respect to the longitudinal central axis of the telescopic suspension fork leg, such that said segment of the fastening means runs aligned for the most part parallel to the longitudinal central axis of the telescopic suspension fork leg. In the motorcycle intended to receive the motorcycle mudguard according to the invention, the longitudinal central axes of the telescopic suspension fork legs define the aforementioned longitudinal central plane, such that said segment of the fastening means runs at least for the most part parallel to the longitudinal central plane.

The fastening means can thus be inserted or pushed into a receptacle provided in the fairing component from above and, for example, screwed into a receptacle-shaped component provided on the motorcycle, so that the section of the fastening means runs at least largely parallel to the longitudinal central axis of the telescopic suspension fork leg.

In comparison with a known motorcycle fender, in which a fastening means after the fairing component has been arranged on the motorcycle fender is inserted for the most part at a right angle to the longitudinal centre plane of the telescopic suspension fork into a receptacle of the fairing component and then has to be fixed to the motorcycle by means of a tool relative to a support, the design of the motorcycle fender according to the invention has the advantage that the fastening means can already be inserted or inserted into a receptacle in the fairing component in the direction of an extension of the longitudinal centre axis of the telescopic suspension fork leg, i.e. from the point of view of an assembler located next to the telescopic suspension fork leg, from above, and the assembler then has both hands free for assembly, because the assembler no longer has to hold the fastening means with his hand after inserting it into the receptacle of the fairing component, as is the case with the known motorcycle fender, in which from the point of view of an assembler located next to the telescopic suspension fork leg, the fastening means can be inserted into a receptacle in the fairing component in the direction of an extension of the longitudinal centre axis of the telescopic suspension fork leg, i.e. from above, and the assembler then has both hands free for assembly, because the assembler no longer has to hold the fastening means with his hand after inserting it into the receptacle of the fairing component, as is the case with the known motorcycle fender, in which from the point of view of an assembler located next to the telescopic suspension fork leg, the fastening means can be inserted into the receptacle of the fairing component. From the assembler's point of view, the screw has to be inserted into a receptacle in the fairing component at a mostly right angle to the longitudinal central axis of the telescopic suspension fork leg.

This makes the mounting operation of the motorcycle fender and the fairing component that receives it on the motorcycle considerably easier.

According to a further development of the invention, it is provided that the section of the fastening means has a longitudinal central axis, the projection of which in the longitudinal central plane runs at an angle to the longitudinal central axis of one of the telescopic suspension fork legs.

This results in a configuration in which the fastening means can be placed in the fairing component or a receptacle in the fairing component for the fastening means such that a projection of the longitudinal central axis of the fastening means or a projection of the extension of the longitudinal central axis of the fastening means onto the longitudinal central plane runs at an angle to the longitudinal central axis of one or both telescopic suspension fork legs, which define the longitudinal central plane.

This configuration thus leads, for example, to the fact that the fastening means, which may be a screw with a screw shank having a longitudinal central axis, can be inserted or pushed into the receptacle for the fastening means in the fairing component in an inclined position with respect to the direction of the vertical axis of the motorcycle and can then be fixed in this inclined position to a fastening element of the motorcycle or another component on the motorcycle. This configuration thus still has the advantage that the fastening means can generally be inserted from above into the receptacle for the fastening means in the fairing component, albeit at an angle with respect to the longitudinal central axis of the telescopic suspension fork leg.

According to a further development of the invention, it is also provided that the section of the fastening means has a longitudinal central axis, the extension of which intersects the longitudinal central plane.

This design results in a configuration in which the fastening means can still be inserted from above into the receptacle for the fastening means in the fairing component, although the fastening means is inserted into the receptacle at an angle forwards or backwards with respect to the vertical axis direction of the motorcycle, which causes the extension of the longitudinal central axis of the fastening means segment or the extension of the longitudinal central axis of the fastening means, in which case it can be a longitudinal central axis of a screw shank, to run at an angle to the longitudinal central plane, i.e. the extension of the longitudinal central axis of the fastening means, i.e. for example of the screw shank, to intersect the longitudinal central plane. In such a configuration, the fitter thus takes the screw and inserts it from above and, viewed from the direction of travel of the motorcycle, at an angle forwards or backwards, into the receptacle for the screw or, very generally, inserts the fastening means into the fairing component.

According to a further development of the invention, it is also provided that the angle is substantially 0 degrees and that the section of the fastening means can be aligned at least substantially parallel to the longitudinal central axis of the telescopic suspension fork leg.

This results in a configuration in which the fastening means is inserted from above into the receptacle for the fastening means in the fairing component and the segment of the fastening means, which can be a screw, the screw shank of which represents the segment, runs relative to the longitudinal centre axis of the telescopic fork leg and thus relative to the longitudinal centre plane such that the segment and thus the screw shank run largely parallel to the longitudinal centre plane defined by the two longitudinal centre axes of the two telescopic fork legs.

According to a further development of the invention, it is provided that the motorcycle fender is designed to receive a license plate and/or a headlight mask and/or a headlight mask holder.

Thus, in the motorcycle mudguard according to the invention, the receiving device can receive the already mentioned output number plate, it is also provided that the receiving device can receive the headlight mask and/or the headlight mask holder.

The headlight mask holder can be received together with the headlight mask in the receiving device and the headlight mask holder can be fixed to the motorcycle with the fixing means in the manner explained above and the headlight mask can be fixed, for example, with respect to the headlight mask holder thereto, so that the headlight mask can be fixed to the headlight mask holder and, in this respect, however, is received in the receiving device by means of, for example, a lower region or foot region provided in the headlight mask and at the same time also the headlight mask holder is received by means of a foot region or lower region in the receiving device and then, with the fixing means or more than one fixing means, is fixed to the motorcycle, so that a respective segment of the fixing means or means is aligned at least mostly parallel to the longitudinal central axis of the telescopic suspension fork leg.

According to a further development of the invention, it is provided that the receiving device has at least one body provided with an internal recess extending at an angle from the first main body, into which internal recess a section of the fairing component can be inserted.

In this way, a configuration is achieved in which the fairing component in the form of, for example, the components already explained in detail above, with a respective segment of the respective fairing component can be inserted or snapped into the internal recess of the body of the receiving device, which extends from the first main body at an angle.

If the fairing component, which for example has two segments for receiving two bodies extending at an angle from the main body in a respective internal recess, has been inserted with one or both of said segments into the respective internal recess of the body, then the fairing component is already arranged on the motorcycle fender according to the invention in such a way that the respective person carrying out the assembly no longer has to hold the fairing component by hand.

An example of this is the number plate, which has two segments in one area used to accommodate the number plate on the receiving device of the motorcycle fender according to the invention, which can be inserted into a respective internal recess of two bodies extending from the main body and, if the two segments are inserted into the internal recesses, the number plate is then arranged on the motorcycle fender in such a way that the assembler or fitter no longer has to hold the number plate by hand. In the next work step, the assembler or fitter inserts a fastening means, for example in the form of a screw, into a screw receptacle of the output number plate, so that the screw can be screwed into a bracket or a receptacle of the motorcycle, in particular in such a way that a shank segment of the screw runs at least mostly parallel to the longitudinal central axis of the telescopic suspension fork leg of the motorcycle, to which the motorcycle fender is attached.

According to a further development of the invention, it is provided that the receiving device is designed as a sleeve-shaped body with an internal recess, which has at least one internal wall segment designed to receive a segment of the fairing component.

This configuration makes it possible to insert a segment extending from the fairing component into the sleeve-shaped body and thus secure the fairing component.

The extension segment is then supported by the inner wall segment and held by the receiving device.

According to a further development of the invention, it is provided that the receiving device is provided with an internal recess of triangular cross-section, designed to receive a segment of the fairing component.

With this internal recess of triangular cross-section, a configuration is obtained in which the segment extending from the fairing component, which is configured with a shape and surface complementary to the configuration of the internal recess, is received in the internal recess and held in place by form-fitting.

According to a further development of the invention, it is also provided that the receiving device has two bodies separated from one another, which extend from the main body at an angle, into each of the internal recesses of which a respective segment of the fairing component can be introduced.

The receiving device thus has two bodies extending from the main body at an angle, which are each configured with an internal recess, and a respective segment of the fairing component can be introduced or snapped into the respective internal recess, so that the fairing component is secured by the motorcycle fender receiving device.

According to a further development of the invention, it is also provided that the receiving device is designed to receive a respective segment of a headlight mask and a headlight mask holder together.

In this configuration, both the headlight mask and the headlight mask holder have a respective segment extending from the respective body of the headlight mask or the headlight mask holder, and thus the two segments of the headlight mask and the headlight mask holder can be inserted together in a form-fitting manner into the internal recess of the respective body.

According to a further development of the invention, it is provided that the above-mentioned output number plate is designed with a flat segment and a receptacle for the arrangement of a fixing means designed as a screw and that in an end region of the flat segment, associated with the body of the motorcycle fender, it is provided with at least one snap-in segment extending from the flat segment, which is designed for the most part with a shape and surface complementary to the internal recess of the body.

The thus configured output number plate thus has a flat segment which is, for example, configured for the arrangement of an output number and also has a receptacle for a screw and the engagement segment extending from the flat segment, which at least for the most part is configured with a shape and surface complementary to the internal recess of the body, i.e. of the receiving body configured in the motorcycle fender for said engagement segment.

In a configuration with two bodies of the receiving device, which extend from the main body, the output number plate can therefore also have two snap-in segments extending from the flat segment, which can be inserted into the respective internal recess of the bodies.

According to a further development of the invention, it is also provided that the headlight mask is configured with a flat segment and that in an end region of the flat segment, associated with the body of the motorcycle fender, it is provided with at least one snap-in segment extending from the flat segment, which is configured for the most part with a shape and surface complementary to the internal recess of the body.

Thus, the headlight mask with a respective snap-in segment extending from the flat segment of the headlight mask can also be inserted or snapped into a respective internal recess of a respective body of the receiving device, so that the headlight mask can be fixed in a form-fitting manner to the receiving device of the motorcycle fender.

According to a further development of the invention, it is also provided that the headlight mask holder is configured with two receptacles for the arrangement of two fixing means configured as a screw and that in an end region of the headlight mask holder, associated with the body of the motorcycle fender, it is provided with at least one snap-in segment extending from the flat segment, which is for the most part configured with a shape and surface complementary to the internal recess of the body.

This configuration has the advantage that the headlight mask already mentioned above can be fixed, for example, in a detachable manner to the headlight mask holder, and then the headlight mask and the headlight mask holder with the two respective segments extending from the headlight mask and the headlight mask holder can be inserted into the respective inner recess of the respective body of the motorcycle fender receiving device, so that the headlight mask and the headlight mask holder are held together in a positive-fitting manner by the motorcycle fender receiving device according to the invention. The headlight mask holder can then be fixed to the motorcycle by means of two screws, the screw shanks of which each have a segment that runs mostly parallel to the longitudinal central axis of a telescopic suspension fork leg of the telescopic suspension fork of the motorcycle. Thus, the screws are mostly inserted from above into the respective receptacles of the headlight mask holder and screwed in with a clamping device or a holder of the motorcycle. The screw shanks then run at least largely parallel to the longitudinal central axis of a telescopic suspension fork leg of the motorcycle telescopic suspension fork.

According to a development of the invention, it is provided that the motorcycle fender, in the area of the first end of the first main body, has a recess, which has a front surface that delimits the first main body towards the second main body and that the front surface is provided with at least one first hole, configured to receive a fixing means.

Thus, in a motorcycle fender according to the invention arranged on the motorcycle, the front surface is aligned for the most part at a right angle to the direction of travel of the motorcycle as intended and closes a recess in the area of the elongated first main body, which therefore, seen in the direction of the vertical axis of the motorcycle, is configured on the upper side of the first main body.

A fastening means in the form of, for example, a screw can be inserted into the hole in the front surface, with which the motorcycle mudguard can be screwed releasably to the motorcycle frame, i.e., for example, in the area of the front wheel fork or telescopic suspension fork of the motorcycle. For this purpose, the front surface can also have two or more holes, which can also be provided with sleeves or threaded sleeves, so that the motorcycle mudguard according to the invention can thus be screwed to the motorcycle.

According to a further development of the invention, it is also provided that the motorcycle mudguard is provided in the contact area between the first and second main body with at least one second hole, configured to receive a fixing means.

In this way, the motorcycle fender can be detachably fixed to the motorcycle frame either through the fixing means passing through the holes in the front surface or through the fixing means arranged in the contact area between the first and second main bodies, passing through the holes configured therein.

This configuration ensures in particular that the motorcycle mudguard can be attached to the front frame or frame or the frontal area of the motorcycle very quickly and that it can also be quickly removed from the motorcycle if the motorcycle mudguard is damaged, because the accessibility of the fixing means is guaranteed, without other components of the motorcycle having to be removed first, which would entail effort.

In this respect, according to a further development of the invention, it is also provided that the motorcycle mudguard has two first and two second holes and that the longitudinal central axes of the first and second holes run largely at right angles to one another.

This configuration ensures that the holes in the front surface, seen in the direction of travel of the motorcycle, are accessible from the front and are therefore quickly accessible and that the second holes are accessible from below, i.e. that the screws attached to them or similar ones are easily and quickly accessible by means of a tool, because the motorcycle fender according to the invention is usually mounted with a distance from the front wheel and therefore represents a raised motorcycle fender.

According to a further development of the invention, it is also provided that the motorcycle fender has a relief recess in the region of the front surface which extends in the width direction of the motorcycle fender.

This configuration ensures that in the area of the front surface on the underside facing the motorcycle fender, i.e. in the area where the front surface extends downwards, possible notch stresses are reduced and thus the risk of breakage of the motorcycle fender according to the invention is reduced.

In this respect, according to a further development of the invention, it is also provided that the motorcycle fender in the region of the first end of the first main body has a flattening, provided with a cavity.

When the motorcycle mudguard is fixed to the motorcycle in its intended position, the control head mounting tube thus rests in the area of the flattening and the cavity ensures that there is a gap between the upper side of the flattening and the lower side of the control head mounting tube and thus water entering this area cannot constantly wet the lower side of the control head mounting tube, but can flow out through the cavity.

According to a further development of the invention, it is also provided that the front surface, in its lower region in the direction of the vertical axis of the front surface, has at least one opening, which is designed to be open downwards, so that even water entering this region of the front surface can escape and the screws passing through the sleeves or threaded sleeves or bushings or threaded sleeves are not surrounded by water. This is also advantageous because a motorcycle equipped with the motorcycle mudguard according to the invention is often washed with water after driving on the road, the water then being able to escape through the openings.

According to a further development of the invention, it is also provided that the motorcycle mudguard, in a sectional view through the first main body and the side wings transversely to the longitudinal axis of the first main body, has a configuration corresponding to an inverted Y. This configuration ensures very high rigidity and strength of the motorcycle mudguard according to the invention and also that the motorcycle mudguard does not tend to oscillate or vibrate during operation due to impacts during driving the motorcycle or due to wind pressure from the front. In this way, the risk of breakage or damage to the motorcycle mudguard according to the invention is reduced.

According to a further development of the invention, it is also provided that the first main body has, in a plan view from above, a configuration which tapers from the first end towards the second end.

By means of this conical or tapering design of the first main body, a stiffening rib is obtained which ensures high bending rigidity of the motorcycle fender and thus reduces the oscillation excitation of the motorcycle fender from the area of the connection to the vehicle, i.e. from the above-mentioned screw connections to the area of the tip of the motorcycle fender, i.e. the area furthest from the connection of the screw connections.

In a further development of the invention, it is also provided that the second main body, starting from the first end of the first main body, has a concave configuration adapted to a wheel envelope.

In this way, it is achieved that during the front wheel compression operation, in which the front wheel or the front tire moves toward the motorcycle fender and the distance between the shell and the motorcycle fender is reduced, the rotating front wheel tire can remove dirt from the inner surface of the motorcycle fender in the area of the second main body, and thus, accumulation of dirt clumps on the inner surface of the motorcycle fender can be prevented.

Similarly, according to a development of the invention, it is provided that the third main body, starting from the second end of the first main body, has a concave configuration adapted to a wheel envelope.

When the front wheel of the motorcycle comes into contact with the road again, for example after a jump of the motorcycle, the front wheel fork of the motorcycle sinks and the distance between the tire of the front wheel and the inner surface of the third main body is reduced, so that here too the dirt clumps accumulated by the turning movement of the front wheel are removed and thus no accumulation of dirt clumps occurs on the inner side or inner surface of the motorcycle fender according to the invention.

According to a further development of the invention, it is also provided that the third main body has outwardly projecting areas on both sides of its longitudinal axis in the transition area to the first main body. Thus, the third main body has lateral extensions or widenings in the area where it adjoins the second main body, which ensure that stones thrown up by the front wheel, mud or the like do not enter. According to a further development of the invention, it is also provided that the motorcycle mudguard has a dirt-repellent surface design on its inner side, which is associated with a wheel. In the case of the wheel, this may be the front wheel of the motorcycle, which tends to throw up stones or mud when the motorcycle is driven on unpaved ground, which hit the inner surface or inner side of the motorcycle mudguard.

The motorcycle mudguard can be produced, for example, from a plastic material, in particular in a molding tool mold, the inner surface of which, on which the motorcycle mudguard is formed, is surface treated, for example by shot peening with glass beads, so that a surface roughness in the range of 40 to 70 micrometers is established and thus the surface structure of the motorcycle mudguard according to the invention has low roughness values and said dirt deposits cannot come into contact with the inner side or the inner surface of the mudguard according to the invention or only to a small extent. During operation of the motorcycle, the dirt deposits are therefore automatically released from the inner surface and can also be easily removed from the front wheel tire, as explained above.

The invention also provides a motorcycle fender described above and having an output number plate.

The invention also further provides a motorcycle fender described above and with a headlight mask.

The invention also further provides a motorcycle fender described above and with a headlight mask bracket.

The invention also provides a motorcycle with a front wheel and a rear wheel and a propulsion engine, having a motorcycle fender, as explained above.

According to a further development, the motorcycle is characterised in that it has a telescopic suspension fork with two telescopic suspension fork legs and in that it has a fork bridge arranged on the telescopic suspension fork, in which a fastening element is provided which is detachably fixed to the fork bridge and can be detachably engaged with the above-mentioned fastening means or fastening means.

This ensures that the fairing component in the form of, for example, a number plate or a headlight mask holder can be attached to the retaining element provided on the fork using screw-like fastening means or the like, i.e. it can be releasably screwed on, so that the screws ensure that the fairing component is fastened from above, i.e. in the direction of the longitudinal centre axis of the telescopic fork leg or the telescopic fork legs. Thus, the assembler in charge of assembling the motorcycle or the assembly of the motorcycle fender according to the invention on the motorcycle can, after the motorcycle fender has been mounted on the front structure of the motorcycle, attach the fairing component in the form of a number plate or, for example, a headlight mask holder to the receiving device by means of the segments extending from the number plate or the headlight mask holder, i.e., for example, insert the segments of said fairing parts into the internal recesses of the bodies extending from the main body of the motorcycle fender, whereby the respective fairing component is already fastened to the motorcycle fender according to the invention, and thus the assembler has both hands free for further assembly steps. The assembler can then insert the screw-shaped fastening means from above into the receptacle of the fairing component and screw the screw into the clamping element, without having to hold the fairing component and without having to hold the screw.

This makes the mounting of the motorcycle fender according to the invention much easier.

Figure 1 of the drawing shows a perspective view of a motorcycle mudguard 1 according to an embodiment according to the present invention, which is arranged on a motorcycle 2, which carries a fairing component 3 in the form of a headlight mask 4, whereby the headlight mask 4 comprises a headlight 5, from which it follows that the motorcycle 2 according to Figure 1 is a road-approved motorcycle or an enduro motorcycle.

The motorcycle 2 has a telescopic suspension fork 6, which comprises two telescopic suspension fork legs 7. The motorcycle 2 also has a front wheel 8 and a rear wheel 9 and has a propulsion engine 10, which in the case of the motorcycle shown is configured as an internal combustion engine. Furthermore, as can be seen from Figure 28 of the drawing, the motorcycle 2 has an upper fork bridge 11 to which a fastening element 12 can be detachably attached, which can be seen from Figure 29 of the drawing.

Figure 2 of the drawing shows a similar perspective view of a motorcycle 2 with a motorcycle fender 1 and a fairing component 3 which, in the embodiment shown in Figure 2, is configured as an output number plate 31.

From this alone it follows that the motorcycle fender 1 according to the invention is configured to receive different fairing parts 3, as will be explained in more detail below.

Figure 3 and Figure 4 of the drawing show that the telescopic suspension fork leg 7 each has a longitudinal central axis 13, which is also visible in Figure 11 of the drawing and that together they define a longitudinal central plane 14, which is visible in Figure 11 of the drawing.

Figure 16 of the drawing shows a perspective representation of an embodiment of the motorcycle fender 1 according to the present invention.

The motorcycle fender 1 has a first main body 15, which has an elongated configuration, as visible by Figure 15 of the drawing, which shows a side view of the motorcycle fender 1.

The first main body 15 has a first end 16 or a first end region 17, and has a second end 18 or second end region 19, between which the first main body 15 extends.

As can be seen from Figure 15 of the drawing, the first main body 15 has a visible longitudinal extension in the direction of the double arrow L, which is greater than the visible width extension in the direction of the double arrow B according to Figure 16 or the extension in the direction transverse to the longitudinal extension.

The second main body 19 is connected to the first main body 15 in the area of the first end 16, which, in the plane of the drawing in Figure 15, extends at a first angle 20 from the first main body 15 directed downwards.

As can be seen from Figure 16 of the drawing, the second main body 19 has a central part 21 with a longitudinal axis 22 and on both sides of the central part 21 lateral parts 23 extend, specifically in such a way that in section a C-shaped configuration 10 is obtained, as can be easily seen from Figure 16 of the drawing.

In the area of the second end 18 of the first main body 15, as can be seen from Figure 15 and Figure 16 of the drawing, a third main body 24 is attached to the first main body 15, which, in the plane of the drawing of Figure 15, extends at a second angle 25 from the main body 15 downwards.

The first main body 15 has a longitudinal axis 26, as visible in Figure 16 of the drawing, and on both sides of the longitudinal axis 26 the first main body 15 has lateral wings 27, which are joined to the lateral edges 28 or lateral areas 28 of the first main body 15, as visible in Figure 15 and Figure 16 of the drawing.

Figure 13 of the drawing shows a top view of a fragment of a known motorcycle fender, which, in the region of a first end 16, has a receiving device 29, which is configured to receive a fairing component, whereby in the case of the fairing component 30 it can be, for example, a departure number plate 31, which is represented in the form of the known departure number plate 31 in Figure 12 of the drawing in a rear view.

Figure 14 of the drawing shows a schematic representation of the output number plate arranged on the motorcycle fender according to Figure 13 according to Figure 12 of the drawing.

The known output number plate 31 has in a lower area 32 two pin-shaped segments 32, which can be inserted into cylindrical receptacles 33 of the known motorcycle fender, as is visible from Figure 14 of the drawing.

The fairing component 30 in the form of a known output number plate 31 has a fixing segment 35 on a flat segment 34, which has a recess 36, into which a fixing means in the form of, for example, a screw can be inserted.

In the known motorcycle mudguard, the mounting of the screw-shaped fastening means takes place in such a way that the screw has to be inserted into the recess 36, namely in the direction of travel F (see Fig. 1) of the motorcycle 2 from behind, i.e. in the direction of the arrow F also shown in Fig. 28, whereby during mounting the screw the fitter has to hold it by hand, because otherwise it would come out of the recess 36 and, for example, fall to the ground.

The inventors of the present motorcycle fender 1 according to the invention have recognized that the mounting of the fairing component on the motorcycle fender can be improved and simplified, as will be explained in more detail below.

Figure 28 of the drawing again shows the respective longitudinal centre axes 13 of the respective telescopic suspension fork leg 7 already mentioned. In Figure 28, the longitudinal centre plane 14, which is defined by the two longitudinal centre axes 13, is also visible again.

As can also be seen from Figure 28, the direction of the arrow F runs for the most part at right angles to the longitudinal center plane 14, which means that the mounting direction of the fastening means, i.e. the direction of insertion of the screw into the recess 36 of the fastening segment 35 runs for the most part at right angles to the longitudinal center plane 14, when the known motorcycle fender is arranged on the motorcycle and the fairing component is subsequently fastened to the known motorcycle fender.

In contrast, Fig. 31 shows a representation which shows the fairing component in the form of a number plate 31 arranged on the motorcycle fender 1 according to the invention and which shows a fastening means 37 in the form of a screw 38 which can be inserted from above, i.e. for the most part in the direction of the longitudinal centre plane 14 into a fastening segment of the fairing component, so that a segment 39 of the screw 38 runs at least for the most part parallel to the longitudinal centre plane 14, as can also be seen in more detail from Fig. 11 of the drawing.

For the purposes of the present invention, the at least mostly parallel alignment of the fastening means segment means that the fastening means segment, i.e. for example the screw shank 40 of the screw 38 according to Figure 11, effectively runs parallel to the longitudinal central plane 14, but also includes that the fastening means segment runs at an angle to the longitudinal central plane 14, as is visible from Figure 6 and Figure 7 of the drawing.

Figure 3 of the drawing shows a representation of a front area of the motorcycle 2 with the two longitudinal central axes 13 of the telescopic suspension fork legs 7, which define a longitudinal central plane 14.

As can also be seen from Figure 3 of the drawing, two longitudinal central axes 40 are indicated, which belong to two screws 38, which are inserted from above, i.e. in the direction of the arrow V according to Figure 3 into corresponding receptacles of a fairing component not shown in more detail in Figure 3 and can then be screwed to or with a fastening element or the like of the motorcycle 2.

Similarly, Figure 4 of the drawing shows the two longitudinal central axes 13 of the two telescopic suspension fork legs 7, whereby the rear longitudinal central axis in the plane of the drawing coincides with the longitudinal central axis 40 or the segment 40 of the screw 38 due to the chosen perspective.

This configuration ensures that the respective fastening means 37 in the form of, for example, the already mentioned screws 38 can be inserted in the direction of the arrow V according to Figure 3 or 4 into a respective receptacle of a fairing component and can then be fixed to the motorcycle 2, for example, to a clamping element 12 or to a frame part or to another clamping element of the motorcycle, so that the assembler, who inserts the screws into the respective receptacles of the fairing component, no longer has to hold them after insertion and then has both hands free for further assembly steps.

The receiving device 51 for receiving the fairing component on the motorcycle fender is configured such that said segment of the fastening means, i.e., for example, a screw shank of a fastening means configured as a screw, runs at least mostly parallel to the longitudinal central plane defined by the two longitudinal central axes of the telescopic suspension fork legs.

For this purpose, the receiving device can be provided on the motorcycle fender, for example aligned with respect to the longitudinal center axes of the telescopic suspension fork legs in such a way that a center axis of the receiving device runs at least substantially parallel to the longitudinal center plane. Here too, the substantially parallel alignment of the center axis of the receiving device includes that the center axis runs at an angle to the longitudinal center plane and that an extension of the center axis, for example at a predetermined distance from the receiving device, intersects the longitudinal center plane. In this case, for the purposes of the present invention, this is still an at least substantially parallel alignment of the center axis of the receiving device with respect to the longitudinal center plane.

Figure 6 of the drawing shows a representation for explaining the longitudinal central plane 14 and an alignment of the fixing means 38 such that the segment of the fixing means 38 has a longitudinal central axis 40, which cuts the longitudinal central plane 14 or an extension of the longitudinal central plane 14.

The inclined position of the screw 38 with respect to the longitudinal central plane 14, provided in this case, leads to the same advantage of the configuration according to the invention, namely that the screw 38 can be inserted from above, i.e. in the direction of the arrow V into a receptacle of the fairing component and not in the manner explained above by means of Figure 28, namely in the direction of the arrow F, again shown by way of explanation in Figure 6 in a direction mostly at right angles to the longitudinal central plane 14.

Figure 7 of the drawing shows a representation to explain the longitudinal central plane and again another alignment of the segment of the fixing means 38.

In this case, the extension of the longitudinal central axis 40 of the screw shank or segment 39 also cuts the longitudinal central plane 14, the inclined position of the fixing means has a different orientation, compared to the inclined position according to figure 6.

Both Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 serve only to explain the fact that the configuration, in which at least one segment of the fastening means runs at least mostly parallel to the longitudinal central plane, also includes an angular configuration of the alignment of the segment of the fastening means with respect to the longitudinal central plane, so that a longitudinal central axis of the fastening means, defined as an extension of the segment of the fastening means, can also intersect the longitudinal central plane at a distance from the location of the arrangement of the fastening means on the motorcycle. In this respect, Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 show an exaggerated representation and serve to explain that the invention also includes an inclined position of the screw 38 with respect to the longitudinal central plane 14.

In the sense of the present invention, in such a configuration the segment of the fixing means is still provided aligned at least mostly parallel to the longitudinal central plane.

Figure 8 of the drawing shows a representation of an alignment of the path of the longitudinal central axis 40 with respect to the path of the longitudinal central axis 13 of the telescopic suspension fork leg 7.

As can be easily seen, the longitudinal central axis of the screw-shaped fastening means 37 runs parallel to the longitudinal central axis 13 of the telescopic suspension fork leg 7. In other words, this means that the projection of the segment of the screw-shaped fastening means 37 also runs towards the longitudinal central plane 14 parallel to the longitudinal central axis 13 or, in the example of Figure 8, parallel to the longitudinal central axes 13 of the telescopic suspension fork legs 7.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9 of the drawing, the screw-shaped fastening means 38 is aligned with respect to the longitudinal central axis 13 of one of the telescopic fork legs 7 such that the projection of the longitudinal central axis 40 runs towards the longitudinal central plane 14 at an angle to the longitudinal central axis 13 of one of the telescopic fork legs 7 or both longitudinal central axes 13 of both telescopic fork legs 7. The screw-shaped fastening means 37 is thus inclined with respect to the longitudinal central axis 13 of the telescopic fork leg 7, i.e. arranged at an angle, but can still be inserted or inserted into the receptacle of the fairing component from above in the direction of the arrow V according to FIG. 3 or FIG. 4.

However, the section 39 of the fastening means 37, i.e. the longitudinal central axis 40 of the screw 38, runs in this exemplary embodiment at least largely parallel or exactly parallel to the longitudinal central plane 14. In this embodiment, the fastening means 37 or the screw 38 is only offset at an angle or inclined to the longitudinal central axis 13, the longitudinal central axis 40 of the screw 38 does not intersect the longitudinal central plane 14, although it is also provided that the longitudinal central axis 40 of the screw 38 can intersect the longitudinal central plane, so that the invention also includes an angular shift in the projection direction according to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 between the longitudinal central axis 40 and the longitudinal central axis 13 of the telescopic suspension fork leg 7 as well as an angular shift relative to the inclined position according to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 and a combination thereof.

Figure 5 of the drawing also shows that due to the parallel alignment of the longitudinal central axis 40 of the screw 38 and the longitudinal central axis 13 of the telescopic suspension fork leg 7, the above-mentioned angle amounts to mostly zero degrees and therefore the fastening means segment 37 runs aligned at least mostly parallel to the longitudinal central axis 13 of the telescopic suspension fork leg 7.

In a configuration according to Figure 6 or Figure 7, the angle is greater than or less than zero.

The motorcycle fender 1 according to the invention is configured to receive an output number plate 31, shown in Figure 17 and Figure 18 of the drawing. Figure 2 also shows the output number plate 31 arranged on the motorcycle 2 or the motorcycle fender 1.

The output number plate 31 has a flat segment 41 and, seen in the direction of the vertical axis H, has on the underside a respective segment 42, which can be inserted into a respective internal recess 43 of a body 44 extending from the first main body 15.

Figure 18 of the drawing shows the exit number plate in a side view, so that the segment 42 extending from a lower area of the exit number plate 31 is also visible.

Figure 1 of the drawing shows a fairing component 3, which is designed in the form of a headlight mask 45 shown in Figure 19 of the drawing. This headlight mask has a recess 46 for receiving the headlight 5 shown in Figure 1 of the drawing. The headlight mask 45 has in a lower area each two segments 47, with which the headlight mask 45 can be inserted into the internal recess 43 of the respective body 44 (see Figure 28).

Figure 20 of the drawing shows the headlight mask 45 in a side view and also shows the segment 47 extending from the lower area of the headlight mask 45.

The motorcycle mudguard 1 according to the invention is also designed to receive the headlight mask holder 48 shown in Figure 21 of the drawing, which has a recess 49 for receiving the headlight 5 and which in the lower area in the direction of the vertical axis H has two segments 50, which are designed for reception in the inner recess 43 of the respective body 44 of the motorcycle mudguard 1, specifically in such a way that the recess 44 can receive both a respective segment 47 of the headlight mask 45 and a respective segment 50 of the headlight mask holder 48.

The receiving device 51 provided on the motorcycle fender 1 for receiving the fairing component 3 in the form of an output number plate 31 and/or a headlight mask 45 and/or a headlight mask holder 48 is designed as a sleeve-shaped body, which can be designed in the form of the body 44 shown in Figure 28 and has a respective internal recess 43, which in each case has at least one internal wall segment 52, which is designed to receive the segment 42 of the output number plate 31 or the segment 47 of the headlight mask 45 or the segment 49 of the headlight mask holder 48.

As can be seen from Figure 28 or also Figure 3 or also Figure 4 of the drawing, the receiving device 51 has an internal recess 43 of triangular cross-section in each case, which is designed to receive respectively the aforementioned segment 42 or 47 or 48.

Figure 28 of the drawing shows that the receiving device 51 has two bodies 44 separated from each other, which extend from the main body 15 at an angle, into whose respective inner recess 43 a respective segment 42, 47, 48 of the respective fairing component 3 in the form of, for example, a headlight mask and/or a headlight mask holder and/or an exit number plate can be inserted.

As can be seen from Figure 18 of the drawing, the output number plate 31 has a receptacle 53 extending from the flat segment 41 for arranging the fastening means 37 configured as a screw 38, the receptacle 53 being also clearly visible in Figure 31 of the drawing. The screw 38 can thus be inserted into the receptacle 53 from above and not in the direction of the arrow F according to Figure 28 of the drawing, as is the case with the known motorcycle mudguard.

The respective segment 42 in the lower end area of the flat segment 41 of the output number plate 31 thus represents a snap-in segment 54, which is configured with a shape and surface complementary to the internal recess 43 of the body 44.

The headlight mask 45 has the already mentioned segments 47 in the lower end area, which extend from a flat segment 55 of the headlight mask 45 and are configured as a respective snap-in segment 56, which is configured with a shape and surface complementary to the internal recess 43 of the body 44.

Figure 21 of the drawing shows that the headlight mask holder 48 has two segments 50 configured as a respective snap-in segment 57, which are configured at least for the most part with a shape and surface complementary to the respective internal recess 43 of the body 44 and, in addition, the headlight mask holder 48 also has two receptacles 58 for receiving a respective screw 38 as fastening means 37, as is also visible in more detail by means of Figure 32 of the drawing.

Figure 23 of the drawing shows a perspective view of the motorcycle fender 1 shown in Figure 16 of the drawing.

As can be seen from Figure 23 of the drawing, the motorcycle fender 1 has a recess 59 in the area of the first end 16 of the first main body 15, which has a front surface 60 that delimits the first main body 15 towards the second main body 19, which will be visible in even more detail from the enlarged representation according to Figure 24 of the drawing.

The front surface 60 is provided with two first holes 61, into which, in the embodiment shown, a sleeve is inserted in each case, which has an opening, into which a fastening means in the form of a screw, not shown in more detail, can be inserted, which serves for the releasable fastening of the motorcycle fender 1 to the structure or frame of the motorcycle 2.

Figure 24 of the drawing also shows that the motorcycle mudguard 1 has additional holes 64 in the contact area 62 between the first main body 15 and the second main body 19, into the through opening of which a screw-shaped fastening means, not shown in more detail, can also be inserted in each case, which also serves for the releasable fastening of the motorcycle mudguard 1 to the motorcycle frame 2.

The longitudinal central axes of the first holes 61 as well as the second holes 64 run largely at right angles to one another, thereby achieving a torsion- and bending-resistant attachment of the motorcycle fender 1 to the motorcycle frame 2.

Figure 24 of the drawing also shows that a respective opening is provided in the base or lower area of the front surface 60, which is configured open downwards and which serves to evacuate the water that enters the recess 65.

Figure 25 of the drawing shows an enlarged representation of the contact zone 62 between the first main body 15 and the second main body 19.

As can be easily seen, a flattening 66 is formed in the region of this first end 16 of the first main body 15, in which the holes 64 with the visible sleeves 67 are arranged and it is also visible that the flattening 66 has a recess 68. In the case of a motorcycle fender 1 arranged on the motorcycle 2, a control head mounting tube of the motorcycle ends in the region above the recess 68 and the recess 68 ensures that in this region the flattening 66 is located at a distance from the lower end of the control head tube and that water entering the region of the flattening 66 can escape through the recess 68 and thus that the lower end region of the control head tube does not come into contact with stagnant water.

The first main body 15 shown in Figure 16 has in a cross-sectional view, transversely to the longitudinal axis 26 of the first main body 15, a configuration corresponding to an inverted Y and the side wings 27 extend from the first main body 15 in the plane of the drawing downwards, whereby as a whole a very high rigidity of the first main body 15 and, thus, of the motorcycle fender 1 is achieved.

As is readily apparent from Figure 16 of the drawing, the first main body 15 has a configuration tapering from the first end 16 toward the second end 18, thereby achieving a decreasing mass of the motorcycle fender 1 at a distance from the attachment of the motorcycle fender 1 by means of the screws passing through the holes 61 and 64 in the steering head mounting area of the motorcycle and thereby reducing the mass of the motorcycle fender 1 that may vibrate at a distance from said attachment of the motorcycle fender 1 and thereby reducing the tendency of the motorcycle fender to oscillate during operation.

Figure 27 of the drawing shows a representation to explain the motorcycle fender 1 in its position with respect to the compressed front wheel 8 of the motorcycle 2.

If the motorcycle 2 is driven over rough terrain or the rider of the motorcycle 2 lands on the road after a jump, the front wheel fork or telescopic suspension fork 7 is compressed deeply, causing the clearance between the front wheel 8 and the motorcycle fender 1 to be greatly reduced and a compressed position of the front wheel 8 relative to the motorcycle fender 1 is reached, shown in Figure 27 of the drawing.

As can be seen from Figure 15 of the drawing, the second main body 19 has, starting from the first end 16 of the first main body 15, a concave configuration, adapted to the wheel envelope of the front wheel 8. This configuration ensures that deposits adhering to the inner surface of the second main body 19 in the form of mud, sand or the like are removed by the turning movement of the front wheel 8 relative to the second main body 19 and, thus, automatic cleaning of the inner surface of the motorcycle fender 1 is achieved.

In a similar manner, also the third main body 24 has a concave configuration starting from the second end 18 of the first main body 15, as visible by means of figure 15 of the drawing, so that the front wheel 8, due to its turning movement, can also clean the area of the inner surface of the third main body 24 of the motorcycle fender 1 of the adhered deposits.

Figure 26 of the drawing shows a partial sectional view of a fragment according to Figure 25 of the drawing. As is easily visible, a relief notch 71 extending in the width direction of the flattening 66 is provided in the transition zone 69 between the flattening 66 and the rear side 70 of the front surface 60, which ensures that the risk of damage to or breakage of the motorcycle fender 1 is reduced.

As can be easily seen from Figure 15 and Figure 16 of the drawing, the third main body 24 has in the transition zone 72 between the third main body 24 and the first main body 15 on both sides of the longitudinal axis outwardly protruding zones 73, which ensure improved splash protection of the motorcycle fender 1.

Figure 29 of the drawing shows a clamping element 12 in a perspective representation, which can be detachably fastened to a front side 74 (Figure 28) of the front structure of the motorcycle 2. The clamping element 12 can be detachably fastened to the fork bridge, for example, by means of screws which pass through openings 75 of the clamping element 12, which are not shown in more detail, and which can be detachably fastened to threaded segments 76 of the upper fork bridge 11. The clamping element 12 has a receptacle 77, which has a recess 78, into which a screw shank of the screw 38 shown in Figure 31 of the drawing can be engaged. In this way, the screw 38 can be engaged from above in the recess 78 and at the same time the screw 38 passes through the receptacle 53 of the output number plate 31, whose segments 42 or engagement segments 54 engage in the internal recesses 43 of the bodies 44, so that the output number plate 31, which represents a fairing component, is arranged or received in the motorcycle fender 1 and is detachably fixed to the motorcycle 2.

Similarly, a fastening element not shown in more detail can be configured with two receptacles for the screws 38 according to Figure 32 of the drawing and be detachably fixed to the front structure of the motorcycle 2, so that the screws 38 then pass through the two receptacles of the fastening element and the two receptacles 58 of the headlight mask holder 48 and, thus, the headlight mask holder 48 is detachably fixed to the front structure of the motorcycle 2. The headlight cover 45 has two screw fastenings 79, of which one screw fastening 79 is shown in FIG. 20 of the drawing, and can be fixed to the headlight cover holder 48 by means of screws passing through the openings 80 of the headlight cover holder 48 according to FIG. 21. Thus, the headlight cover 45 can also be fixed to the motorcycle, on the one hand, via the snap-in segments 56, which engage in the inner recesses 43 of the bodies 44 and the fastening of the headlight cover to the headlight cover holder, on the one hand, and to the motorcycle fender 1 according to the invention, on the other hand.

The motorcycle mudguard 1 has a dirt-repellent surface configuration on the inner side facing the front wheel 8, which can be achieved by a fine surface treatment of the tool mold, such as by shot peening with glass beads of the tool mold, as already explained above.

With regard to features of the invention not explained in more detail above, reference is otherwise expressly made to the claims and drawings.
