  • Patent number: 10502960
    Abstract: Provided is an information display assembly that is hardly affected by an external force such as traveling wind when mounted on a helmet and that ensures easy attachability and detachability to and from the helmet. In an information display assembly including a display unit displaying information, and a frame connected to the display unit to allow mounting of the display unit on the helmet, the frame has resiliency and is provided at opposite ends thereof with pressing parts, and the pressing parts are fixed on an inner side of the helmet by restoring force of resilient deformation. The display unit and the frame are commonly provided at a single location therebetween with a connecting par. The display unit is displaceably supported relative to the frame.

  • Patent number: 9663155
    Abstract: A body cover construction for a motorcycle includes a body cover having a front cover which covers a front portion of a vehicle body. A front lower cover covers a front surface of the vehicle body, below the front cover and which has a curved opposite surface which continues from above to a rear of a front wheel to face opposite the front wheel. An undercover covers a lower surface of the vehicle body lying further forwards than a power unit and lighting further rearwards than the front lower cover. A lower end portion of the front lower cover has a curved portion and can extend rearwards to be connected to the undercover. The curved portion is formed so that a radius at a transverse center is larger than radii at transverse end portions.
