DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to a saddle type two-wheeled and three wheeled vehicles. More particularly, the present invention relates to a supporting structure for the saddle type two-wheeled and three wheeled vehicles.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Saddle type vehicles are one of the most affordable forms of motorized transport and for most of the world’s population they are the most common type of motor vehicle. Conventionally, the saddle type vehicle comprises a frame assembly which is a load bearing structure normally fabricated as a plurality of individual tubes welded together onto which all mechanical, electrical and fairing or bodywork parts are mounted. Generally, one or more wiring harnesses, hoses and cables interconnecting at least two vehicle components or systems are supported on the frame assembly of the vehicle. Typically, to support, guide and protect the wiring harnesses, hoses and cables from damage, a guide structure in the form of clamps or clips are secured to the frame assembly of the vehicle.
[0003] In an existing saddle type vehicle, a circular arc shaped cable guide is attached to the frame assembly, and the cables are held inside the cable guide. The one or more cable guides for supporting the cables such as brake cables and lead wires are welded to at least a portion of the vehicle frame assembly in order to avoid becoming tangled or damaged.
[0004] A known arrangement for guiding one or more wiring harnesses, cables and hoses on the saddle type vehicle comprises a plurality of clamps fastened to the individual tubes of the vehicle frame assembly. The plurality of clamps are adapted for guiding and securing said one or more wiring harnesses, hoses and cables thereon.
[0005] In another known saddle type vehicle, one or more support clips for cables is used to support one or more cable by driving the cable support into a structural member. The cable support in the form of a u-shaped bracket is used to hold the cable. Such cable supports are welded to the frame assembly of the vehicle.
[0006] In yet another known saddle type vehicle, a plurality of clamps and clips are welded to at least a portion of the individual tubes of the vehicle frame assembly. One or more wiring harnesses, cables and hoses are supported and routed along said clamps and clips. However, since the clamps and clips are welded to the individual tubes of the vehicle frame assembly, hence due to vibrations or stresses on the frame assembly, the clamps and clips gets distorted and damaged and thus resulting in damage to the wiring harness, cables and hoses by intolerable torsion or tension.
[0007] Thus, most known guiding and installation mechanism for the wirings and cables includes a plurality of clamps, clips or guide structure being welded or fastened to the vehicle frame assembly for the purpose of guiding one or more wiring harnesses, cables or the hoses on the vehicle. As a result, there is an increase in the number of welding and parts on the vehicle frame assembly. Hence, any vibrations, stresses, welding distortions, or mounting deformations of the individual tubes of the frame assembly during movement or transportation of the vehicle leads to inaccuracies in the dimensions and tolerances of the frame assembly and further distortion to the clamps or clips being welded or fastened to the frame assembly. As a result, said one or more wires harnesses, cables or hoses being guided by said clamps gets twisted, tensed or damaged. Further, at least one of said one or more clamps or clips for supporting one or more wiring harnesses or cables are detachably secured to the frame assembly through one or more fasteners and thus increasing the overall number of parts and weight of the vehicle.
[0008] Hence, it is desirable to provide an improved arrangement and installation structure for said one or more wiring harnesses, cables and hoses on the vehicle frame assembly which provides an improved guide and support to said one or more wiring harnesses, cables and hoses. Further, said improved installation structure prevents said one or more wiring harnesses, cables and hoses from getting twisted, tensed or damaged due to any stress and tension on the individual tubes of the vehicle frame assembly. It is needed to provide an improved supporting structure for one or more wiring harnesses, hoses and cables on the vehicle which is of low-cost, easily installed on the vehicle frame assembly and further doesnot result in an increased number of parts on the vehicle.
