Abstract

A head lamp device of a straddle-type vehicle, comprises a housing; a pair of light units which are disposed at right and left sides, respectively, in a rightward and leftward direction, and emit light in a forward direction; a pair of support point members which support the pair of light units, respectively; a pair of first tilt members which tilt the pair of light units, respectively in a first direction with respect to the housing; and a pair of second tilt members which tilt the pair of light units, respectively in a second direction with respect to the housing, the pair of support point members are disposed in outward regions, respectively, of the housing in the rightward and leftward direction, and the pair of first tilt members and the pair of second tilt members are disposed in a center region of the housing in the rightward and leftward direction.

Claims (29)

1. A head lamp device of a straddle-type vehicle, the head lamp device comprising:

a housing;

a pair of light units which are disposed at right and left sides, respectively, in a rightward and leftward direction in a state in which the pair of light units are accommodated in the housing, and emit light in a forward direction;

a pair of support point members which support the pair of light units, respectively in such a manner that the pair of light units are rotatable;

a pair of first tilt members which tilt the pair of light units, respectively in a first direction with respect to the housing in such a manner that the pair of support point members are support points; and

a pair of second tilt members which tilt the pair of light units, respectively in a second direction with respect to the housing in such a manner that the pair of support point members are support points,

wherein the pair of support point members are disposed in outward regions, respectively, of the housing in the rightward and leftward direction, and the pair of first tilt members and the pair of second tilt members are disposed in a center region of the housing in the rightward and leftward direction.

2. The head lamp device according to claim 1 ,

wherein each of the pair of second tilt members and a corresponding one of the pair of first tilt members are arranged in a vertical direction, and

wherein each of the pair of first tilt members and a corresponding one of the pair of support point members are arranged on a horizontal line.

3. The head lamp device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the pair of support point members are disposed in an upper portion of the housing.

4. The head lamp device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the pair of light units include light emission regions, respectively, which are apart from each other in the rightward and leftward direction and emit the light, and

wherein the pair of first tilt members and the pair of second tilt members are disposed between the light emission regions in the rightward and leftward direction.

5. The head lamp device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the pair of light units include light emission regions which are apart from each other in the rightward and leftward direction and emit the light, and

wherein the pair of support point members are disposed outward in the rightward and leftward direction relative to the light emission regions, respectively.

6. The head lamp device according to claim 1 ,

wherein each of the pair of light units includes a LED light source, and a reflector which reflects in a forward direction the light emitted from the LED light source.

7. The head lamp device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the head lamp device is fastened to a vehicle body frame of the straddle-type vehicle.

8. A head lamp device of a straddle-type vehicle, the head lamp device comprising:

a housing;

a light unit which emits light in a forward direction in a state in which the light unit is accommodated in the housing;

a support point member which supports the light unit in such a manner that the light unit is rotatable;

a first tilt member which tilts the light unit in a first direction with respect to the housing in such a manner that the support point member is a support point; and

a second tilt member which tilts the light unit in a second direction with respect to the housing in such a manner that the support point member is a support point,

wherein the support point member is disposed in the housing at a location that is outward in a rightward and leftward direction, relative to the light unit, and the first tilt member and the second tilt member are disposed in a region of the housing that is closer to a center in the rightward and leftward direction, than the support point member is.
