] Present disclosure relates to a field of automobiles. Particularly, the present disclosure relates to a seat structure of a vehicle. Further, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the seat structure which is adapted to accommodate a helmet in a storage box of the vehicle. BACKGROUND
[002] Automobiles, particularly two-wheeled automobiles or vehicles [herein referred to as vehicles] such as a scooters, mopeds etc., comprises a body mounted on a frame to support various components such as a power unit, a suspension unit, a steering mechanism, a front ground engaging member, a rear ground engaging member, a seat, and the like. The body and frame are also configured to support a storage box to accommodate a helmet and other accessorises.
[003] Typically, a standard full-size helmet requires a large storage box space. In order to accommodate the helmet in the storage box, the storage box needs to have increased dimensions. However, increasing the dimension of the storage box will alter the overall stance and size of the two-wheeled vehicle. The person skilled in the art will acknowledge that in the two-wheeled vehicle, it is necessary to maintain compactness of the vehicle. However, creating a storage space in the two-wheeled vehicle for accommodating the full-size helmet in the storage box without increasing width of the body frame of the vehicle is cumbersome.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[035] While the disclosure is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments thereof have been shown by way of example in the Figures, and will be described in detail below. It should be understood, however that it is not intended to limit the disclosure to the particular forms disclosed, but on the contrary, the disclosure is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the scope of the disclosure as defined by the appended claims. [036] Before describing detailed embodiments, it may be observed that the novelty and inventive step that are in accordance with the present disclosure resides in a seat structure of a vehicle and the vehicle having the seat structure. It is to be noted that a person skilled in the art can be motivated from the present disclosure and modify the various constructions of the seat structure, and the vehicle. However, such modification should be construed within the scope of the present disclosure. Accordingly, the drawings are showing only those specific details that are pertinent to understanding the embodiments of the present disclosure so as not to obscure the disclosure with details that will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art having benefit of the description herein.
[037] In the present disclosure, the term "exemplary" is used herein to mean "serving as an example, instance, or illustration." Any embodiment or implementation of the present subject matter described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments.

[038] The terms "comprises", "comprising", or any other variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusions, such that a device that comprises a list of components does not include only those components but may include other components not expressly listed or inherent to such setup or device. In other words, one or more elements in a system or apparatus proceeded by "comprises... a" does not, without more constraints, preclude the existence of other elements or additional elements in the system or apparatus.
[039] The terms like "at least one" and "one or more" may be used interchangeably or in combination throughout the description.
[040] While the present disclosure is illustrated in the context of a vehicle, however, seat structure and aspects and features thereof can be used with other type of vehicles as well. The terms "modular vehicle", "vehicle", "two-wheeled vehicle", "electric vehicle", "EV" and "motorcycle" have been interchangeably used throughout the description. The term "vehicle" comprises vehicles such as motorcycles, scooters, bicycles, mopeds, scooter type vehicle, and the like.
[041] The terms "front/forward", "rear/rearward/back/backward", "up/upper/top", "down/lower/lower ward/downward, bottom", "left/leftward", "right/rightward" used therein represents the directions as seen from a vehicle driver sitting astride. [042] Embodiments of the disclosure discloses a seat structure of a vehicle for accommodating a helmet in a storage box of the vehicle. Conventionally, a two-wheeled vehicle comprises the storage box to accommodate the helmet. Such storage box includes a large storage box space to accommodate full-size helmet. To have large storage box space, the storage box needs to have increased dimensions. Further, increasing the dimension of the storage box will alter the overall stance and size of the two-wheeled vehicle. Additionally, creating a space in the vehicle for accommodating the full-size helmet without increasing a size of a body and a chassis of vehicle is cumbersome.
[043] Accordingly, the present disclosure discloses the seat structure of the vehicle. The seat structure of the vehicle aids to create a space above a storage box of a vehicle which is capable of accommodating a full-size helmet without having to alter the dimension of the vehicle. The seat structure comprises a seat and a frame configured to receive the seat of the vehicle. The seat structure comprises at least one fixture member defined to the frame, and a mounting provision defined at an end portion of the frame. Further, the at least one fixture member and the mounting provision are configured to

connect the frame to the chassis of the vehicle to define a space between the frame and the chassis of the vehicle. Furthermore, a storage box is connected to the chassis and configured to receive the helmet. A rear portion of the chassis extends in a downward direction to accommodate the helmet in the storage box. The helmet extends partially below the left seat rail and the right seat rail such that an end of a lower portion of the helmet rests on the storage box, and an upper portion and a middle portion of the helmet are accommodated in the space defined between the frame and the chassis. In accordance with the above structure, the helmet is partially accommodated in the storage box. Hence, this structure eliminates the requirement of widening the seat rails in the width direction.
