Footrest assembly for motorcycles

摘要

The present invention relates to a footrest assembly (3) for motorcycles, which comprises a foot peg (4) and a constraint assembly (5). The foot peg (4) has an end forming a rotation section (42). The rotation section (42) comprises a rotation hole (43) formed therein. The rotation section (42) has an outer circumference that is recessed to form a guide slot (421). The guide slot (421) has a side in which a constraint slot (422) extending downward is formed. The constraint assembly (5) comprises a coupling member (51) and a coupling member (52). The coupling member (51) comprises a downward-extending guide rail (512) formed therein. The coupling member (51) comprises a fixing section (514) and a rotation axle (515) extends downward from the fixing section (514). The rotation axle (515) is receivable in a rotation hole (43) of the foot peg (4), so that the rotation axle (515) serves as a rotation center of the foot peg (4). The coupling member (52) is received in the guide rail (512) of the coupling member (51). The coupling member (52) comprises a longitudinal fitting slot (521) formed therein. A constraint block (522) projects from one side of the fitting slot (521). The constraint block (522) extends outside the guide rail (512) of the coupling member (51). The constraint block (522) is received in the guide slot (421) of the foot peg (4). The coupling member (51) and the coupling member (52) are coupled to a control wire (6). The control wire (6) has an opposite end that is connected to a driving unit (8). The coupling member (52) of the constraint assembly (5) and the control wire (6) has an operation direction that is substantially normal to a rotation direction of the foot peg (4). As such, an increase of lateral width of a motorcycle body can be avoided and the coupling member (52) is made slidable upward in the guide rail (512) of the coupling member (51) so that the control of the foot peg (4) by the coupling member (52) is made effort-saving and the control of the foot peg (4) is easy.
