[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various covers have been proposed for seats (saddles) of vehicles. Most of them have a configuration in which a thin waterproof sheet for rainwater and dust prevention can be attached to the saddle as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 57-80381. In such a form, it is provided for use by removing it when traveling.

Further, a saddle heated by direct sunlight in the middle of summer reaches 50 to 70 ° C., and may not be able to ride immediately as it is. Also, even after riding hot, the temperature will not drop for a while and the unpleasant feeling will continue. However, compared to when not covered with the waterproof sheet of the above form,
This has the opposite effect of preventing heat radiation and preventing high temperatures.

As a countermeasure against such a high temperature of a seat, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. Sho 62-143581 proposes a stuffy prevention saddle cover in which an elastic net-like member is stretched. In this case, a space is formed between the buttocks and the saddle when riding, which prevents stuffiness, and reduces heat transfer to the buttocks because the buttocks do not directly come into contact with the saddle. However, the temperature of the saddle itself did not drop easily, and the unpleasant thoughts continued for a long time.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of an air-cooled seat cover for a motorcycle according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the present invention comprises a front intake port 2a at the front, a rear intake port 2a at the rear, and a core 1 made of a resilient material small enough to cover the seat S of the motorcycle. A group of ventilation grooves 2 having a discharge port 2b and penetrating in a substantially parallel shape is formed. Then, on the upper surface of the ventilation groove 2 group, the ventilation sheet 3 to which the fixing means 4 for fixing the position of the core 1 to the seat S is attached in tension. Then, the seat S is cooled by passing cool air at high speed from the front intake port 2a of the ventilation groove 2 to the rear exhaust port 2b by the traveling wind pressure.

The elastic material core 1 needs to have elasticity so as not to feel the pain of the buttocks due to the unevenness of the ventilation groove 2, and is made of a material having such a strength that it cannot be crushed by a person. For this purpose, for example, a foamed material (polyurethane home, polystyrene home) of urethane resin or polystyrene resin can be used. Then, such a material is made into a thick plate and subjected to surface grooving, or is formed in a mold (as shown in FIG. 8), or a long square bar is integrally and integrally bonded to the sheet surface. (Shown in FIG. 9). Note that the cross-sectional shape may be a rounded corrugated shape (not shown) instead of the angular uneven shape as shown in FIG.

The second group of ventilation grooves provided in the core 1 is
It is preferable to open the front suction port 2a as large as possible because more air can be taken in.
It is preferable that b is provided directly behind the ventilation groove 2 because a smooth flow can be obtained.

In order to prevent rainwater from accumulating in the groove, if the ventilation grooves 2 are provided rearwardly and divergently like a fan bone, the seat S has a downward slope on both sides. May flow down naturally. In order to prevent rainwater from remaining positively, it is preferable to provide a downwardly descending rainwater flow groove 5 at intervals in the cross direction of the ventilation groove 2 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

The fixing means 4 only needs to securely fix the core 1 to the seat S. Therefore, a fastening band with a hook-and-loop fastener (shown in FIGS. 2 and 3), an elastic cord or a hook Metal fittings (shown in FIG. 7) and the like are possible. It is also effective to apply a non-slip agent or the like on the bottom surface of the core 1 to prevent displacement.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, damage to the core 1 is prevented on the surface of the ventilation groove 2 group of the core 1,
The ventilation protection net 6 can also be coated to prevent the irregularity of the groove on the buttocks from being uncomfortable. The ventilation protection net 6 ensures ventilation between the ventilation groove group 2 and the ventilation sheet 3.

The air permeable sheet 3 is made of a soft net band 3a made of air-permeable nylon or the like or a cloth 3b having an excellent air-permeability so as to allow perspiration from the buttocks to be released into the second group of air passages. Used. For this reason, not only stuffiness is prevented but also a refreshing feeling can be obtained by ventilation.

When the core 1 and the air permeable sheet 3 are made of a color having a high light reflectance such as white (a color that absorbs less solar heat from direct sunlight), the temperature of the seat itself can be kept low. In particular, the white color is black, and when compared, there is a temperature difference of about 10 to 20 ° C. in the direct sunlight in the middle of summer, and it is possible to prevent the temperature from rising. Therefore, there is an advantage that the user can ride immediately without waiting for cooling.

[0023]

As described above, the present invention is used over a motorcycle seat S which is heated by direct sunlight in the middle of summer and is used to cool air into the ventilation groove 2 group by wind pressure generated by running. It is possible to cool the passenger's buttocks by taking it in (air cooling).

That is, the hot air generated in the buttocks is released into the ventilation groove group 2 through the ventilation sheet 3, and is further taken in from the front suction port 2a of the ventilation groove group 2 by traveling and rearward by the air passing at high speed. It is discharged to the outside from the discharge port 2b. At the same time, the sweat accelerates vaporization by the wind and evaporates to remove heat of vaporization from the surroundings, thereby further cooling the buttocks.

When the elastic material core 1 is made of a urethane resin or polystyrene resin foam (polyurethane home, polystyrene home) or the like, the heat insulating effect is high, and the temperature transmission from the seat S, which is heated at a high temperature, to the buttocks is prevented. So
It has the effect of preventing the buttocks from feeling hot. In addition, it has become possible to run exhilaratingly at any time on a motorcycle placed outdoors in the midsummer, when the temperature and humidity are illuminated by sunlight.
