Patent number: 11772735Abstract: The main step structure for the saddle riding vehicle includes a fixing member, a step pin, a main step, and a biasing member that biases the main step in a developing direction. The main step structure includes an operating member supported to be rotatable relative to the main step. The operating member is provided with a contact section that makes contact with the fixing member. An engaging mechanism that can switch between an engaged state and a disengaged state of the main step and the operating member is provided. In the case where the main step is moved to an accommodated position and the operating member is made to make contact with the fixing member, the engaging mechanism puts the main step and the operating member into an engaged state.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Shimpei Shikanai, Masayuki Hojo, Yoshihito Tokuda, Hiroyuki Sasazawa, Kenichi Misaki

Patent number: 8960720Abstract: A saddle-ride type vehicle including grab rails that can be gripped by a pillion passenger seated on the pillion passenger seat and a helmet holder that allows selection between a lock state of a metal fitting of a chin strap of a helmet and an unlock state, and configured such that it is unlikely that the helmet holder prevents the pillion passenger from gripping the grab rails. A recess portion is formed in a grab rail, having its opening opened facing an attachment portion of a body frame for attachment of the grab rail. A helmet holder is provided at the position sandwiched between the grab rail and the attachment portion while having at least a part of the cylinder lock stored in the recess portion, and a key hole of the cylinder lock opened facing the outer surface of the grab rail.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2013Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masayuki Hojo, Akira Omae, Hiroyuki Miyazaki
