发明名称 Vehicle
摘要 A body cover includes an outer surface covering portion that covers at least a portion of an outer peripheral surface of a link mechanism excluding an upper surface and a lower surface thereof. When the vehicle is in the upright state, at least portions of a leaning associated deforming portion of a brake controlling operation transmission member that deform in association with the leaning of a body frame are positioned between the outer peripheral surface of the link mechanism, excluding the upper surface and the lower surface thereof, and the outer surface covering portion.

主权项 1. A vehicle comprising: a body frame that leans to the right of the vehicle when the vehicle turns right and that leans to the left of the vehicle when the vehicle turns left; a right front wheel and a left front wheel that are aligned in a left-and-right direction of the body frame; a right suspension device that supports the right front wheel at a lower portion thereof and that absorbs an upward displacement of the right front wheel in an up-and-down direction of the body frame; a left suspension device that supports the left front wheel at a lower portion thereof and that absorbs an upward displacement of the left front wheel in the up-and-down direction of the body frame; a link mechanism which includes: right side portion that supports an upper portion of the right suspension device so as to turn about a right steering axis that extends in the up-and-down direction of the body frame;a left side portion that supports an upper portion of the left suspension device so as to turn about a left steering axis that is parallel to the right steering axis;upper cross portion that supports an upper portion of the right side portion at a right end portion thereof so as to turn about an upper right axis that extends in a front-and-rear direction of the body frame and supports an upper portion of the left side portion at a left end portion thereof so as to turn about an upper left axis that is parallel or substantially parallel to the upper right axis and that is supported on the body frame at a middle portion thereof so as to turn about an upper middle axis that is parallel or substantially parallel to the upper right axis and the upper left axis; anda lower cross portion that supports a lower portion of the right side portion at a right end portion so as to turn about a lower right axis that is parallel or substantially parallel to the upper right axis and supports a lower portion of the left side portion at a left end portion thereof so as to turn about a lower left axis that is parallel or substantially parallel the upper left axis and that is supported on the body frame at a middle portion thereof so as to turn about a lower middle axis that is parallel to the upper middle axis; a body cover that is provided at least directly ahead of, directly behind, directly on the left of, or directly on the right of an outer peripheral surface of the link mechanism excluding an upper surface and a lower surface thereof; a brake device that is provided directly below the link mechanism to apply a braking force to, at least, one of the right front wheel and the left front wheel; a brake controller that is provided directly above the link mechanism to control the brake device; and a brake controlling operation transmission member that connects the brake controller with the brake device to transmit a brake controlling operation that is inputted into the brake controller to the brake device; wherein the body cover includes an outer surface covering portion that covers at least a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the link mechanism excluding the upper surface and the lower surface thereof; and when the vehicle is in the upright state, at least a portion of a leaning associated deforming portion of the brake controlling operation transmission member that deforms in association with the leaning of the body frame is positioned between the outer peripheral surface of the link mechanism, excluding the upper surface and the lower surface thereof, and the outer surface covering portion.
