Saddle-type vehicle including front-end mounted radiator, controller case and controller heat shield
Patent number: 8196689Abstract: A saddle-type vehicle including a radiator disposed forwardly of a steering shaft for steering a front wheel, the radiator being covered by a vehicle body cover, the vehicle including a controller case which extends forwardly of the steering shaft of a vehicle body frame, formed separately from the vehicle body cover, and fixed on a frame supporting the radiator. The controller case is positioned rearward of and above the radiator, and is configured such that the controller case supports an electronic controller therein. The saddle-type vehicle also includes a heat shield disposed between the radiator and the controller, wherein the heat shield substantially isolates the controller from heat emitted from the radiator.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2009Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventor: Tetsuro Hosoda -
Patent number: 8141906Abstract: A saddle-type vehicle has an engine compartment protected from mud and water splash by wheel well shields and a centrally located underbody splash guard member, arranged to substantially block mud and water from splashing back toward an engine during operation of the vehicle. These splash guards are also configured to ensure a space for maintenance. The vehicle includes inner wheel well shields located respectively laterally inside of the front wheels, and an underbody splash guard member including first and second guard portions. The first guard portion provided on the underbody splash guard member is located laterally inside of the wheel well shields, and the second guard portion is located laterally inside of the first guard portion for covering a front portion of the engine.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2009Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tadashi Oshima, Kazuhito Hirai, Tetsuro Hosoda

Patent number: 8113294Abstract: A beach cleaner having a grate-like frame is formed with multiple longitudinal members. Each of the longitudinal members is provided with a plurality of sand pins projecting downward therefrom, and the frame is provided at its front end with the tow portion. The beach cleaner can be towed by a towing vehicle to generate on a sand area, while the sand pins scrape and collect waste scattered on the sand. The sand pins are detachably attached to the longitudinal members. The beach cleaner also includes a weight mount member, enabling the amount of burying the sand pins in a sand area to be optimized to enhance waste collection performance.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2007Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shokichi Arai, Hidekazu Sakai, Tadashi Oshima, Tetsuro Hosoda, Akito Hiramatsu

Patent number: 7997349Abstract: To make it easier to collect litter which is captured and deposited in a mesh member of a beach cleaner which scrapes up the litter along with sand and captures and deposits the churned up litter and sand in the mesh member. In a second beach cleaner which captures and deposits in a mesh member litter scattered around in the sand by churning up the litter along with sand while traveling by being towed by a towing vehicle, the mesh member has an encircling member open on at least one side and is attached to the frame such that the mesh member is pivotable with respect to the frame.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2007Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shokichi Arai, Hidekazu Sakai, Tadashi Oshima, Tetsuro Hosoda, Akito Hiramatsu

Patent number: 7798240Abstract: To provide a waste recovery station for a beach cleaner which is less liable to be bulky after being divided and can facilitate installing work, and which can easily load and unload a beach cleaner and a waste recovery station on and from a trailer. A waste recovery station includes a pair of left and right grounded members, guide members formed like a mountain as viewed from the side and attached to the grounded members, and bar-like connecting members integrally connecting the grounded members. The waste recovery station can recover the waste collected by the beach cleaner towed by the towing vehicle to run on the sand area by allowing the beach cleaner to ride on the waste recovery station. The waste recovery station includes a connecting pipe which removably connect an end of the connecting member to the grounded member.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2007Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shokichi Arai, Hidekazu Sakai, Tadashi Oshima, Tetsuro Hosoda
