Thus, between the pair of lever holders 12a, 12a, the rear brake lever 13, the knocker member 32, and the arm member 31 are stacked in order from above.

アーム部材31は,支軸30を中心にして互いに反対方向,図示例では車両の前後方向に延びる第1及び第2アーム31a,31bを備えるI型に構成され,その後向きの第1アーム31aの先端部には,第1連結軸33を介してノッカ部材32の一端部が相対揺動可能に連結され,前向きの第2アーム31bの先端部には,第2連結軸34を介して前記ブレーキケーブル15の始端部が連結される。   The arm member 31 is formed in an I-type including first and second arms 31a and 31b extending in opposite directions around the support shaft 30, in the illustrated example, in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. One end of a knocker member 32 is connected to the tip through a first connecting shaft 33 so as to be relatively swingable, and the brake is connected to the tip of the second arm 31b facing forward through a second connecting shaft 34. The starting end of the cable 15 is connected.

図5において,後ブレーキレバー13は,シリンダボディ12の一側に形成されたストッパ面12cに当接して後ブレーキレバー13の非操作位置を規制するストッパアーム13aと,平面視で支軸30と第1連結軸33との中間に先端部を位置させる作動アーム13bとを一体に有しており,後ブレーキレバー13の操作時,その作動アーム13bの先端部に押圧される当接片32aがノッカ部材32の一側縁から上方に屈曲して形成される。而して,作動アーム13b及び当接片32aの当接点から第1連結軸33までの距離Aと,前記当接点から押圧部32b及び入力ピストン20の当接点までの距離Bとの比の選定により,後ブレーキレバー13の操作力の,アーム部材31及び入力ピストン20への配分を設定することができる。   In FIG. 5, the rear brake lever 13 is in contact with a stopper surface 12 c formed on one side of the cylinder body 12 to restrict the non-operation position of the rear brake lever 13, and the support shaft 30 in plan view. An operating arm 13b that positions the tip portion in the middle of the first connecting shaft 33 is integrally provided. When the rear brake lever 13 is operated, a contact piece 32a that is pressed against the tip portion of the operating arm 13b is provided. It is formed by bending upward from one side edge of the knocker member 32. Thus, selection of the ratio between the distance A from the contact point of the operating arm 13b and the contact piece 32a to the first connecting shaft 33 and the distance B from the contact point to the contact point of the pressing portion 32b and the input piston 20 is selected. Thus, the distribution of the operating force of the rear brake lever 13 to the arm member 31 and the input piston 20 can be set.

またノッカ部材32には,前記支軸30に貫通される長孔35が設けられ,ノッカ部材32が支軸30に干渉されることなく第1連結軸33周りに所定角度の範囲で揺動し得るようになっている。またノッカ部材32には,前記入力ピストン20の後端部に押圧可能に当接する押圧部32bが形成される。この押圧部32bの,入力ピストン20との当接面は円弧面に形成される。   The knocker member 32 is provided with a long hole 35 penetrating the support shaft 30 so that the knocker member 32 swings around the first connecting shaft 33 within a predetermined angle range without being interfered with the support shaft 30. To get. The knocker member 32 is formed with a pressing portion 32b that abuts against the rear end portion of the input piston 20 so as to be pressed. The contact surface of the pressing portion 32b with the input piston 20 is formed as an arc surface.

さらにノッカ部材32には,長孔35の,押圧部32bと反対側の後端壁には調節ねじ37が支軸30の外周面に対して進退調節し得るように螺合される。   Further, the adjusting screw 37 is screwed into the knocker member 32 at the rear end wall of the long hole 35 on the side opposite to the pressing portion 32 b so that the adjusting screw 37 can be advanced and retracted with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the support shaft 30.

支軸30は,入力ピストン20の軸線上に配置される。これによりイコライザ機構16を入力ピストン20近傍に集約配置することが可能となり,全体をコンパクトに構成することができる。またノッカ部材32の押圧部32bは入力ピストン20の中心部を押圧することができて,操作力の伝達効率向上に寄与し得る。   The support shaft 30 is disposed on the axis of the input piston 20. As a result, the equalizer mechanism 16 can be centrally arranged in the vicinity of the input piston 20, and the entire structure can be made compact. Moreover, the pressing part 32b of the knocker member 32 can press the center part of the input piston 20, and can contribute to the improvement of the transmission efficiency of the operating force.

図1及び図2において,前記ブレーキケーブル15は,インナケーブル15aと,これに摺動自在に挿通されるアウタケーブル15bとよりなるボーデンケーブルで構成され,そのインナケーブル15aでは,その一端部が第2連結軸34に,他端部が作動レバー14にそれぞれ接続される。図示例の場合,第2連結軸34は,インナケーブル15aの端部に鋳ぐるみ結合される円筒状の接続端子で構成される。   1 and 2, the brake cable 15 is composed of a Bowden cable comprising an inner cable 15a and an outer cable 15b slidably inserted in the inner cable 15a. The other end of each of the two connecting shafts 34 is connected to the operating lever 14. In the case of the illustrated example, the second connecting shaft 34 is constituted by a cylindrical connection terminal that is cast-bonded to the end of the inner cable 15a.

またアウタケーブル15bでは,その一端部が前記ケーブルホルダ12bに,他端部が後ブレーキBrに隣接する固定ブラケット39にそれぞれ保持される。この固定ブラケット39と作動レバー14との間に,作動レバー14を非作動位置側に付勢する戻しばね40が縮設される。   In the outer cable 15b, one end is held by the cable holder 12b and the other end is held by the fixed bracket 39 adjacent to the rear brake Br. Between the fixed bracket 39 and the operating lever 14, a return spring 40 that biases the operating lever 14 toward the non-operating position is contracted.

ところで,連動マスタシリンダM2における戻しばね21のセット荷重は,後ブレーキレバー13の操作時,その操作力が所定値未満である限り,連動マスタシリンダM2の入力ピストン20を後退位置に保持するように設定される。   By the way, the set load of the return spring 21 in the interlocking master cylinder M2 is such that when the rear brake lever 13 is operated, the input piston 20 of the interlocking master cylinder M2 is held in the retracted position as long as the operating force is less than a predetermined value. Is set.

次に,この実施例の作用について説明する。   Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

後ブレーキレバー13の非操作状態では,図5に示すように,連動マスタシリンダM2の入力ピストン20は,戻しばね21のセット荷重により後退位置に保持され,この入力ピストン20の後端面に押圧部32bを当接させるノッカ部材32は,当接片32aを後ブレーキレバー13の作動アーム13bの先端部に当接させ,これに伴ない後ブレーキレバー13は,ストッパアーム13aをシリンダボディ12のストッパ面12cに当接させる後退位置に保持される。   When the rear brake lever 13 is not operated, the input piston 20 of the interlocking master cylinder M2 is held in the retracted position by the set load of the return spring 21 as shown in FIG. The knocker member 32 that abuts the contact 32b abuts the abutment piece 32a on the tip of the operating arm 13b of the rear brake lever 13, and the rear brake lever 13 causes the stopper arm 13a to move to the stopper of the cylinder body 12. It is held at the retracted position for contacting the surface 12c.

いま,後ブレーキBrを作動すべく,後ブレーキレバー13を左グリップSL側に引き寄せるように操作すると,最初に,図6に示すように,後ブレーキレバー13の作動アーム13bが支軸30周りに反時計方向へ回動してノッカ部材32の当接片32aを入力ピストン20側に押圧することになり,その押圧力は,押圧部32bが入力ピストン20の後端面に押圧するようにノッカ部材32を第1連結軸33周りに回動しようとする力と,ノッカ部材32及び第1連結軸33を介してアーム部材31を支軸30周りに反時計方向へ回動しようとする力に分けられる。   Now, when the rear brake lever 13 is operated to be pulled toward the left grip SL in order to operate the rear brake Br, first, the operating arm 13b of the rear brake lever 13 is moved around the support shaft 30 as shown in FIG. The knocker member 32 rotates counterclockwise and presses the contact piece 32a of the knocker member 32 toward the input piston 20, and the pressing force is applied so that the pressing portion 32b presses the rear end surface of the input piston 20. The force for rotating the arm member 31 about the first connecting shaft 33 and the force for rotating the arm member 31 counterclockwise about the support shaft 30 via the knocker member 32 and the first connecting shaft 33 are divided. It is done.

しかしながら,前述のように,連動マスタシリンダM2における戻しばね21のセット荷重は,後ブレーキレバー13の操作時,その操作力が所定値未満であるうちは,連動マスタシリンダM2の入力ピストン20を後退位置に保持するように設定されているから,後ブレーキレバー13の操作力が所定値未満の操作初期では,図6に示すように,入力ピストン20は後退位置から動かず,ノッカ部材32及びアーム部材31が後ブレーキレバー13と一体となって支軸30周りに,反時計方向へ回動して,第2連結軸34を介してインナケーブル15aを牽引するので,作動レバー14が回動して後ブレーキBrを作動することができる。   However, as described above, the set load of the return spring 21 in the interlocking master cylinder M2 retracts the input piston 20 of the interlocking master cylinder M2 as long as the operating force is less than a predetermined value when the rear brake lever 13 is operated. Since the operation force of the rear brake lever 13 is less than a predetermined value, the input piston 20 does not move from the retracted position, as shown in FIG. Since the member 31 is integrated with the rear brake lever 13 and is rotated counterclockwise around the support shaft 30, and the inner cable 15a is pulled through the second connecting shaft 34, the operation lever 14 is rotated. Thus, the rear brake Br can be operated.

そして,後ブレーキレバー13の操作力が所定値以上に増加すると,換言すれば,後ブレーキBrのブレーキ力が所定値以上になると,図7に示すように,ノッカ部材32は,後ブレーキレバー13の作動アーム13bから増加した押圧力を当接片32aに受けることにより,第1連結軸33周りに時計方向へ回動して,押圧部32bにより入力ピストン20を戻しばね21のセット荷重に抗して前方へ押し動かすことになり,それに伴ない連動マスタシリンダM2の油圧室19に油圧が発生し,この油圧は,第2油圧導管25を経て前ブレーキBfのキャリパ8の第2入力ポート9bに供給され,前ブレーキBfを作動する。その際,ノッカ部材32の前記時計方向への回動に伴ない,ノッカ部材32の長孔35は,支軸30に対して右方へ移動するので,ノッカ部材32と支軸30とが干渉し合うことを避けることができる。   When the operating force of the rear brake lever 13 increases to a predetermined value or more, in other words, when the brake force of the rear brake Br becomes a predetermined value or more, as shown in FIG. When the pressing force increased from the actuating arm 13b is received by the contact piece 32a, it rotates clockwise around the first connecting shaft 33, and the input piston 20 is resisted against the set load of the return spring 21 by the pressing portion 32b. As a result, hydraulic pressure is generated in the hydraulic chamber 19 of the interlocking master cylinder M2, and this hydraulic pressure is supplied to the second input port 9b of the caliper 8 of the front brake Bf via the second hydraulic conduit 25. To actuate the front brake Bf. At that time, as the knocker member 32 rotates in the clockwise direction, the elongated hole 35 of the knocker member 32 moves to the right with respect to the support shaft 30, so that the knocker member 32 and the support shaft 30 interfere with each other. You can avoid scramble.

この間,後ブレーキレバー13の増加する操作力は,ノッカ部材32を介してアーム部材31にも作用し続けるので,後ブレーキBrのブレーキ力が増加する。この間の後ブレーキBr及び前ブレーキBfへのブレーキ力の配分特性は,図9のa〜bで示すことができる。   During this time, the increasing operating force of the rear brake lever 13 continues to act on the arm member 31 via the knocker member 32, so that the braking force of the rear brake Br increases. The distribution characteristics of the braking force to the rear brake Br and the front brake Bf during this period can be shown by a and b in FIG.

後ブレーキレバー13の操作力が更に増加して,ノッカ部材32による入力ピストン20の前進量が規定量に達し,前ブレーキBfに入力されるブレーキ力が設定値に到達すると,図8に示すように,長孔35に臨むノッカ部材32の調節ねじ37が支軸30に当接して,ノッカ部材32の,入力ピストン20側への回動を阻止するので,ノッカ部材32及アーム部材31は,再び後ブレーキレバー13と一体となって支軸30周りに回動するようになる。しかも,ノッカ部材32の押圧部32bの,入力ピストン20を押圧する押圧面が円弧状に形成されているから,その後,増加する後ブレーキレバー13の操作力は,アーム部材31によるインナケーブル15aの牽引にのみ適用され,後ブレーキBrのブレーキ力のみが増加することになる。   When the operating force of the rear brake lever 13 further increases, the advance amount of the input piston 20 by the knocker member 32 reaches a specified amount, and the brake force input to the front brake Bf reaches a set value, as shown in FIG. Further, since the adjusting screw 37 of the knocker member 32 facing the long hole 35 comes into contact with the support shaft 30 and the rotation of the knocker member 32 toward the input piston 20 is prevented, the knocker member 32 and the arm member 31 are Again, it rotates together with the rear brake lever 13 around the support shaft 30. Moreover, since the pressing surface of the pressing portion 32b of the knocker member 32 that presses the input piston 20 is formed in an arcuate shape, the operating force of the rear brake lever 13 that increases thereafter is applied to the inner cable 15a by the arm member 31. Only the traction is applied, and only the braking force of the rear brake Br increases.

この間の後ブレーキBr及び前ブレーキBfのブレーキ力配分特性は,図9にb〜cで示すことができる。而して,前ブレーキBfのブレーキ力増加規制点bは,ノッカ部材32に螺合した調節ねじ37が支軸30に当接することで決定されるので,調節ねじ37を支軸30に対して進退調節することにより,前ブレーキBfのブレーキ力増加規制点bを自由に設定することができる。   The braking force distribution characteristics of the rear brake Br and the front brake Bf during this period can be shown by b to c in FIG. Thus, the brake force increase restriction point b of the front brake Bf is determined by the adjustment screw 37 screwed to the knocker member 32 coming into contact with the support shaft 30, so that the adjustment screw 37 is attached to the support shaft 30. By adjusting the advance / retreat, the brake force increase restriction point b of the front brake Bf can be freely set.

このように,後ブレーキレバー13を操作して,後ブレーキBrを作動するときは,後ブレーキBrの所定の中間作動域で前ブレーキBfを連動作動することにより,前ブレーキレバー1を操作することなく,ブレーキ力の後ブレーキBr及び前ブレーキBfへの配分特性を,図9の理想配分特性Aに近似したものとすることができ,ブレーキ操作の簡素化と,ブレーキ特性の両方を満足させることができる。   Thus, when operating the rear brake lever 13 and operating the rear brake Br, operating the front brake lever 1 by operating the front brake Bf in a predetermined intermediate operating range of the rear brake Br. The distribution characteristics of the brake force to the rear brake Br and the front brake Bf can be approximated to the ideal distribution characteristic A in FIG. 9, and both simplification of the brake operation and the brake characteristics should be satisfied. Can do.

このような自動二輪車の前後ブレーキ連動装置において,イコライザ機構16は,レバーホルダ12aに支軸30を介して回動自在に支持され,互いに異なる方向に延びる第1アーム31a及び第2アーム31bを有するアーム部材31と,その第1アーム31aに第1連結軸33を介して揺動自在に連結されると共に,後ブレーキレバー13の操作力を直接受ける当接片32a,及び後ブレーキレバー13から受けた操作力を連動マスタシリンダM2に入力する押圧部32bを有するノッカ部材32と,第2アーム31bにブレーキケーブル15を相対揺動可能に連結する第2連結軸とで構成されるので,後ブレーキレバー13,ノッカ部材及びアーム部材31の三者が重なり,しかもノッカ部材及びアーム部材31は第1連結軸33により相互に揺動自在に連結されると共に,後ブレーキレバー13の操作力を直接ノッカ部材に伝達することになり,ブレーキ操作部材及びイコライザ機構16をコンパクトに構成することができる。したがって,操向ハンドルS等,スペースに限りがある場所でも,後ブレーキレバー13及びイコライザ機構16の取り付けを容易且つコンパクトに集約することができる。   In such a front-rear brake interlock device for a motorcycle, the equalizer mechanism 16 has a first arm 31a and a second arm 31b that are rotatably supported by the lever holder 12a via a support shaft 30 and extend in different directions. The arm member 31 is pivotably connected to the first arm 31a via the first connecting shaft 33, and receives from the rear brake lever 13 and the contact piece 32a that directly receives the operating force of the rear brake lever 13. Since the knocker member 32 having the pressing portion 32b for inputting the operating force to the interlocking master cylinder M2 and the second connecting shaft for connecting the brake cable 15 to the second arm 31b so as to be relatively swingable, the rear brake The lever 13, the knocker member and the arm member 31 are overlapped, and the knocker member and the arm member 31 are connected by the first connecting shaft 33. Cross with swing is rotatably connected to, will be transmitted the operating force of the rear brake lever 13 directly to the knocker member, it is possible to constitute a brake operating member and an equalizer mechanism 16 compact. Therefore, it is possible to easily and compactly attach the rear brake lever 13 and the equalizer mechanism 16 even in places where space is limited, such as the steering handle S.

また後ブレーキレバー13及びアーム部材31を共通の支軸30を介してレバーホルダ12aに支持したので,単一の支軸30が後ブレーキレバー13及びアーム部材31の両者の支持に共用されることになり,部品点数の削減とブレーキ操作部材及びイコライザ機構16のコンパクトに寄与し得る。   Further, since the rear brake lever 13 and the arm member 31 are supported by the lever holder 12a via the common support shaft 30, the single support shaft 30 is shared by both the rear brake lever 13 and the arm member 31. Thus, the number of parts can be reduced, and the brake operation member and the equalizer mechanism 16 can be made compact.

さらにノッカ部材32には,支軸30に貫通されると共に,ノッカ部材32の第1連結軸33周りの回動を許容する長孔35が設けられるので,ノッカ部材32による連動マスタシリンダM2の作動を支軸30に干渉されることなく行うことができる。したがって,ノッカ部材32を,支軸30との干渉を回避すべく,支軸30を迂回するような大型な形状を採用する必要がなく,イコライザ機構16の更なるコンパクト化に寄与し得る。   Further, since the knocker member 32 is provided with a long hole 35 that penetrates the support shaft 30 and allows the knocker member 32 to rotate around the first connecting shaft 33, the operation of the interlocking master cylinder M2 by the knocker member 32 is provided. Can be performed without being interfered by the support shaft 30. Therefore, it is not necessary to adopt a large shape that bypasses the support shaft 30 in order to avoid the knocker member 32 from interfering with the support shaft 30, which can contribute to further downsizing of the equalizer mechanism 16.

さらにまた後ブレーキレバー13にノッカ部材32が重ねて配置され,そのノッカ部材32から屈曲した当接片32aが後ブレーキレバー13の作動アーム13bに当接するので,後ブレーキレバー13及びノッカ部材32との当接構造が簡単になり,製造コストの低減を図ることができる。さらに後ブレーキレバー13の作動アームに当接させるノッカの当接片の屈曲長さを短く形成できて,その剛性を高めることができると共に,当接部相互の位置合わせ精度を向上させることができる。   Further, the knocker member 32 is disposed so as to overlap the rear brake lever 13, and the contact piece 32a bent from the knocker member 32 contacts the operating arm 13b of the rear brake lever 13, so that the rear brake lever 13 and the knocker member 32 The abutment structure is simplified, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Further, the bending length of the abutting piece of the knocker that abuts against the operating arm of the rear brake lever 13 can be shortened, the rigidity thereof can be increased, and the alignment accuracy between the abutting portions can be improved. .

さらにまた後ブレーキレバー13にノッカ部材32が重ねられると共に,このノッカ部材32にアーム部材31が重ねて配置されるので,ノッカ部材32及びアーム部材31間を最短の第1連結軸33で連結できて,その剛性を高めることができ,耐久性の向上に寄与し,また双方の部材の小型化をも図ることができる。   Furthermore, since the knocker member 32 is overlapped on the rear brake lever 13 and the arm member 31 is overlapped on the knocker member 32, the knocker member 32 and the arm member 31 can be connected by the shortest first connecting shaft 33. Therefore, the rigidity can be increased, the durability can be improved, and the size of both members can be reduced.

さらにまた連動マスタシリンダM2は操向ハンドルSに取り付けられ,この連動マスタシリンダM2の車幅方向外側部に設けられるレバーホルダ12aに後ブレーキレバー13が軸支されるので,後ブレーキレバー13,イコライザ機構16及び連動マスタシリンダM2の三者の組立体を操向ハンドルSにコンパクトに取り付けることができ,外観デザインの自由度を高めることができる。   Furthermore, the interlocking master cylinder M2 is attached to the steering handle S, and the rear brake lever 13 is pivotally supported by a lever holder 12a provided on the outer side of the interlocking master cylinder M2 in the vehicle width direction. The three-piece assembly of the mechanism 16 and the interlocking master cylinder M2 can be compactly attached to the steering handle S, and the degree of freedom in external design can be increased.

以上,本発明の実施例を説明したが,本発明は上記実施例に限定されるものではなく,本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の設計変更を行うことができる。例えば,後ブレーキレバー13に代えてブレーキペダルを用いることもできる。その場合,ブレーキケーブル15に代えてロッドを用いることもできる。   As mentioned above, although the Example of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said Example, A various design change can be performed in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention. For example, a brake pedal can be used in place of the rear brake lever 13. In that case, a rod may be used instead of the brake cable 15.
