  • Pockets for a fairing structure
    Patent number: 4278285
    Abstract: A faired enclosure or fairing for protecting occupants on a motorcycle is provided and includes an outer streamlined shell (10) and two inner pockets (14, 16). The inner pockets (14, 16) provide convenient storage space (28) and structural support for the outer shell (10) and are shaped to permit them to be easily formed by existing vacuum-forming or molding techniques. Structural support and ease of manufacture are obtained by shaping the inner pockets (14, 16) so as to provide large bonding surfaces (18, 20) between the outer shell (10) and the inner pockets (14, 16) while eliminating undercut areas which would interfere with mold separation.
