STORAGE BOX STRUCTURE IN SADDLE-RIDING TYPE VEHICLE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the storage capacity of a storage box, in a saddle-riding type vehicle in which an opening part at the upper end of the storage box is covered by a riding seat in an openable and closeable manner, while inhibiting water infiltrating into the storage box through the opening part from splashing onto electric equipment and the connection part of a connector, which are disposed in the storage box.SOLUTION: On a side wall 34b of a storage box 34, which faces the outside in the vehicle width direction, a bulge part 46 is formed bulging more outward in the vehicle width direction than an opening part 35. In the bulge part 46, an insertion opening 47 is formed, which is arranged below the upper wall 46a of the bulge part 46 and is oriented to the inside of the storage box 34. A connector 48a has a terminal part 48a which is arranged in the insertion opening 47 to be located outward of the peripheral edge of the opening part 35 in a plan view, and is disposed on the bulge part 46 while allowing connection with electric equipment.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】収納ボックスの上端の開口部が乗車用シートで開閉可能に覆われる鞍乗り型車両において、収納ボックス内に配置される電気機器およびコネクタの接続部に、収納ボックス内に開口部から浸入してくる水がかかることを抑止しつつ、収納ボックスの収納容量を増大する。【解決手段】収納ボックス３４の車幅方向で外側に臨む側壁３４ｂに、開口部３５よりも車幅方向外方に膨出した膨出部４６が形成され、その膨出部４６に、当該膨出部４６の上壁４６ａの下方に配置される挿入口４７が収納ボックス３４の内部に指向して形成され、平面視で開口部３５の周縁の外方に位置するようにして挿入口４７内に配置される端子部４８ａを有するコネクタ４８が、電気機器との接続を可能として膨出部４６に配設される。【選択図】 図４
