Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[001] The present invention relates to a saddle-type vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to the saddle-type vehicle having a load adjusting structure for a seat assembly of the saddle type vehicle.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] Saddle-type vehicles have a utility storage box disposed under a seat for storing articles. The utility storage box is openably and closably covered from above by the seat. The seat is having a front end pivotally attached to the utility storage box through a seat hinge and a rear end removably attached to a seat latch. To access a storage space of the utility storage box after unlocking the seat, a user is required to manually lift the seat in an upright vertical direction and simultaneously hold the same while storing or removing the articles.
[003] It has been observed that the lifting and holding of the seat requires an engagement of hands of the user which is an exhausting and a cumbersome task. Further, if the hands of the user are occupied with some articles, it becomes a challenge to unlock, lift and hold the seat while accessing the storage space since the seat is always under an effect of weight and gravity and tends to fall towards closing direction. In the conventional art, various seat holding devices and arrangements have been proposed which have gas springs. Such gas springs require additional space which reduces volume of the storage space. It has also been observed that the gas springs hinder storing of the articles in the utility storage box. Moreover, the gas springs are complex in design and requires customization with different design of the vehicle and increase an overall weight of the vehicle.
[004] In conventional vehicles, the seat hinge is attached to a front side of the utility storage box. It has been observed that seat load acts on a seat hinge which is also transferred to a seat liner being in contact with the utility storage box. The seat liner functions to prevent water leakage and also aids in uniformly distributing the load of occupants while the vehicle is in running condition. Since maximum load is subjected to the seat hinge, the same is required to possess a stiffening structure to accommodate the seat load acting on the seat hinge of the vehicle. However, the stiffening structures available in the prior arts are unable to sustain structural integrity of the seat hinge and the utility storage box when the vehicle goes over a speed bump or a pothole. The load acting on the seat hinge due to the weight of the rider increases excessively when the vehicle goes over the bumps or pothole and thereby this excessive load deforms the overall structure of the hinge mechanism and leads to loosening of the hinge mechanism which in turn deforms the structure of the seat of the vehicle. In conventional vehicles, the front side of the utility storage box is mounted on the frame members of the vehicle through hinge brackets. The load from the seat is directly transferred from the utility box to the frame members. It has been observed that an excess amount of load transfer through the hinge bracket leads to high deformation of the utility storage box.
[005] In view of the foregoing, there is a need to provide a saddle-type vehicle having an improved load adjusting structure which overcomes at least the above-mentioned disadvantages.

The mounting holes 213 are adapted to receive the studs 212 of the first bracket 210 (shown in Figure 2). Each of the side arms 211c, 211d include through holes 217. The through holes 217 are configured to receive the hinge pin 214 of the spring mechanism 215 for attaching the second bracket 220 with the first bracket 210 thereof.
[039] Figure 12a and Figure 12b illustrate a bottom perspective view and a bottom view of the seat 130 respectively, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The seat 130 includes attachment means 134 disposed at the inner surface 131 of the seat 130. The seat 130 is having a mounting portion 135 formed at the inner surface 131. The mounting portion 135 is adapted to receive the seat plunger 136.
[040] Advantageously, the present invention provides a saddle-type vehicle having a load adjusting structure which provide uniform distribution of seat load without deforming the structure of the storage compartment. The load adjusting bracket provides additional structural support to the utility box while enhancing the structural reinforcement of the storage compartment when the vehicle is running over a pothole or a speed bump. The spring mechanism of the load adjusting bracket opens the seat automictically when the seat is unlocked and hold the same in the upright vertical position. The third bracket of the load adjusting structure directly transfers the seat load from the storage compartment to the main tube of the vehicle and thereby prevents deformation of the storage compartment of the vehicle. The load adjusting structure has a simple mounting structure which eliminates the need of mounting the storage compartment on each of hinge brackets as required in conventional vehicles. Accordingly, the load adjusting bracket reduces assembly time and require lesser number of fasteners. Further, the load adjusting structure also reduces the costs. The ribs formed on the front wall of the storage compartment increases the rigidity and structural strength of the storage compartment. Furthermore, mounting of the load adjusting bracket on the ribs of the storage compartment reinforces the structural rigidity of the storage compartment.
[041] While the present invention has been described with respect to certain embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modification may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the following claims.
