The vehicle may be, for example, a motorcycle in which a windshield is provided as wind protection and weather protection for the driver of the motorcycle. Drivers of different body sizes have a need for a different height arrangement of the windshield relative to the seat on the driver's saddle of the motorcycle to be protected against the wind or in rain against moisture.

For this purpose, it has already become known to provide windshields, which have a different height, so that the driver of the vehicle can replace a lower windshield, for example, against a higher windshield, but for the driver or user of the vehicle at extra cost and leads to it that there is no longer needed - in this case, lower windshield.

It is also already known to mount on a vehicle or motorcycle in the vertical direction or Hochachsrichtung or height direction of the vehicle electrically adjustable windshield, which can change the driver via the operation of a button or a switch in said direction. Such a solution leads to additional costs and to an additional production outlay in the manufacture of the vehicle, since an electric motor and a control device and a corresponding circuit arrangement become necessary.

In addition, such an electrical adjustment also means that the net mass of the vehicle increases and it may come to even in uneven terrain used vehicles that unavoidable on uneven road shock loads of actuators for the electrical adjustment of the windshield damage to the actuators takes place in the form of, for example, a transmission between the electric motor and the windshield, which leads to further cost disadvantages.

Based on CA 2,262,038 A1 is already known an adjustable windshield for a snowmobile or a motorcycle, in which the windshield is flexible and can be adjusted manually via a rack drive or a Drahtzugmechanismus by the driver of the vehicle in the height direction.

Also on the basis of CA 2,296,225 A1 is already known an adjustable flexible windshield for a snowmobile or a motorcycle, which can be adjusted manually via a rack and pinion mechanism by the driver of the vehicle in the vertical direction.

Proceeding from this, the present invention, the object of providing a windshield device for a vehicle, which allows easy manual operation for height adjustment of the windshield and can be produced inexpensively, can be set to save space on the vehicle and allows quick adjustment over a wide adjustment , Also, a provided with the windshield device to be created motorcycle should be created.

The adjusting mechanism of the windshield device according to the invention is therefore not a rack and pinion, as described above as known, but a locking mechanism in which the holding force for fixing the first locking means on the second locking means is achieved by a clamping action or clamping force, the second locking means is applied to the first locking means, wherein the clamping force or clamping action can be applied by means provided on the second locking means elastic Kraftbeaufschlagungsmittels.

The windshield device according to the invention allows easy handling by the driver or user of the vehicle, since the clamping force or clamping action is sufficient in any operating condition of the vehicle to realize a positional security of the windshield on the vehicle especially in the vertical direction and the clamping force or clamping action of the driver or user for solving the windshield from the set position can be easily overcome with one hand to release the windshield from the set position, then manually spend the windshield in a different height position relative to the vehicle and then in the desired height position by the driver of the vehicle releasably set, without the need for tools for releasing and re-fixing a screw or the like between the windshield and the carrier would be required.

The clamping force or clamping action with which the second latching means removably fixes the first latching means can be generated, for example, by means of a spring means provided on the second latching means or a component provided on the second latching means, which exerts an elastic biasing force or clamping force on the first latching means.

It is also provided according to a development of the invention that the second locking means has at least two spaced positive locking elements for positive reception of the first locking means in different positions of the windshield.

About an assembly of the second locking means so that the two spaced form-fitting elements are arranged in the height direction of the vehicle at a distance from each other, can be adjusted by the engagement position of the first locking means on the spaced form-locking elements different height positions of the windshield relative to the vehicle or relative to the vertical.

It is provided according to a development of the invention that the second locking means has an elongated configuration with elastically deformable positive locking elements, which engage over the first locking means during engagement with the second locking element. In other words, this means that the interlocking elements are, for example, subregions of an elastomeric body having passages or recesses provided for receiving the first latching means and having protruding elastomer wall portions in the passages or recesses which engage upon insertion of the first latching means back into the passage or the recess and then, when a diameter reduction or constriction provided on the first latching means reaches the region of the elastomer wall areas, spring back into the diameter reduction or the constriction and thus bring about a detachable positive connection between the first and second latching means.

It is provided according to a development of the invention that the first locking means has an elongated configuration and at one end region has a constriction, which is designed for positive engagement with the second locking means. In other words, it means that the first latching means may be, for example, a body similar to a cylindrical pin having a diameter reduction, a constriction, an at least one flattening or a comparable recess on the body or pin body, thus formed is that it can come into a releasable engagement with the elastic positive locking elements of the second locking means.

It is also provided according to a development of the invention that the windshield device has a largely U-shaped windshield holder, which is formed with receptacles for releasably fixing the windshield and having a locking means provided with the first locking means. In other words, this means that the windshield can be detachably fastened to the windshield holder by means of the receptacles provided, for example, as passage openings for receiving screwing means, and the first detent means can be fixed or fixed to a detent receiving means of the windshield holder.

It is also provided according to a development of the invention that the carrier has elastic guide means which are provided with a passage opening which are formed for receiving largely rectilinear legs of the windshield holder and the legs in the through holes axially displaceable and with respect to between the longitudinal axes of the Leg and the guide means trained angle are changeable added.

Thus, the windshield holder can be introduced with its largely rectilinear legs in the through holes of the elastic guide means, which then exert a biasing force on the legs and thus exert an axial longitudinal direction of the leg extending leadership on the windshield holder and the windshield and on the other hand, a tilting movement or pivoting movement allow the windshield holder relative to the guide means, so that the longitudinal axes of the legs can be pivoted relative to the longitudinal axes of the guide means and thus a rotational movement or pivoting movement of the windshield holder and thus the windshield relative to the guide means is possible, which ensures that the first locking means can be released from engagement with the second locking means and in this position the windshield holder together with the Windshield can be moved in Hochachsrichtung the vehicle to change the height position of the windshield relative to the vehicle.

In the then changed height position of the windshield, the first locking means can then be spent again with the second locking means in an engaged position and the windshield so fixed in the changed height position detachably on the vehicle.

It is provided according to a development of the invention that the carrier has a two-part configuration along a longitudinal center plane and forms a receiving groove for receiving the second locking means in the region of the longitudinal center plane. The receiving groove is therefore arranged on the carrier in the region of its longitudinal center plane, so that the second locking means is then provided in the region of the longitudinal center plane of the carrier and accordingly also the first locking means with the second locking means in the region of the plane of symmetry or the longitudinal center plane of the carrier in engagement is located and supported.

A force exerted by the wind during operation of the vehicle on the windshield wind force is therefore introduced via the elastic guide means, which may be elastomeric body with through holes, and the first locking means in the carrier, so that the windshield is not rotated relative to the carrier ,

The second latching means may be an elongate elastomer body provided with through openings for receiving the first latching means at different heights relative to the vehicle, which has a plurality of form-fitting elements which can be positively connected to the first latching means. The second locking means is inserted into the receiving groove of the carrier and can be fixed, for example via a screwed to the carrier lid in the receiving groove, so that the second locking means is set interchangeably on the carrier.

It is also provided according to a development of the invention that the carrier has a second locking means adjacent and elongated guide means which is provided with recesses for receiving and guiding the first locking means and in the region facing the second locking means a along the longitudinal extension of the guide means has two-part elastic cover.

The first locking means in the form of, for example, the above-mentioned cylindrical pin can therefore pass through the recesses of the elongate guide means and is then guided with its cylindrical pin body in the recesses, so that the force acting on the cylindrical pin body transverse force during operation of the vehicle through the recesses and the Guide device is supported and thus the moment load of the second locking means is reduced by the first locking means.

In addition, the two-part elastic cover on the guide device ensures that the cover conforms to the cylindrical pin body, which is arranged in the region of the longitudinal slot of the cover, and thus provides protection against the penetration of foreign bodies in the second locking means.

Moreover, it can also be provided according to a development of the invention that the guide device is designed to be elastic and the first latching means is supported on a support collar formed on the guide device. This configuration causes a force application of the first locking means via, for example, the wind, which acts on the windshield, is introduced via the windshield holder in the guide means and thus in the carrier and not in the second locking means and so the first locking means with its constriction as it were is arranged stationary relative to the form elements of the second locking means and not acted upon by a variable force of the wind force Axialkraftkomponente the mold elements of the second locking means.

It is also provided according to a development of the invention that the second locking means and the guide means are releasably secured to the carrier, so that both the second locking means and the guide means, for example, in the case of wear can be easily replaced and thus a cost-effective service option for the user the windshield device is created.

It is also provided according to a development of the invention that the first locking means is formed as a cylindrical pin having an axial end portion for a positive engagement with the second locking means formed diameter reduction, which is followed in the axial direction by a ball head or conical head.

The ball head or conical head allows easy insertion of the end portion of the cylindrical pin in the through hole or recess of the molding element of the second locking means and then in the direction of diameter reduction then increasing diameter of the ball head or conical head ensures that the elastic biasing force exerting a form element in a relative movement of the Ball head or Conical head can escape slightly relative to the mold element to the outside and then protrudes in the direction of radially inward to take a positive fit with the diameter reduction on the pin or first locking element.

The cylindrical pin can, viewed from the ball head or conical head, have an increase in diameter forming a stop surface in the axial direction of the pin behind the reduction in diameter, so that the cylindrical pin is supported by the diameter increase on the second latching means during its movement relative to the shaped elements of the second latching means and thus the penetration movement of the cylindrical pin is completed at the latest when the increase in diameter on the second locking means comes to rest. This ensures that a driver of the vehicle can perform the height adjustment of the windshield even if he wears thick gloves, for example, at low outdoor temperatures and thus can muster less feeling than when operating the windshield device without gloves.

According to a development of the invention, it is also provided that the pin on the cylindrical body has two opposing flats, which are arranged in the unlocked position of the first and second latching means in the recess of the guide means. In this way it is achieved that the cylindrical pin comes in the displacement movement of the windshield in the height direction only with the two flats with the two-part elastic cover in contact and thus the displacement movement counteracting force due to the contacting of the elastic cover with the flats is less than one Contact of the elastic cover with the round cylindrical section of the pin.

Finally, it is also provided according to a development of the invention that the windshield holder has a U-shaped holding body which has at end portions of two legs in the direction of inwardly extending webs, which formed with carrier on the stop surfaces in the unlocked position of the first and second locking means can be brought into contact.

This ensures that sets after solving the positive connection between the first and second locking element and the pivoting movement of the windshield holder relative to the carrier only a predetermined angle between the longitudinal axes of the elastic guide means of the carrier and the longitudinal axes of the legs of the windshield holder, since the contact force between the legs and the elastic guide means in the form of guide rubbers increases with increasing angle and therefore a vertical displacement movement of the windshield holder and thus the windshield relative to the carrier would be made more difficult. In this way, the windshield holder is easily displaceable relative to the carrier in the height direction together with the windshield.

Finally, the invention also provides a motorcycle with a front wheel and a rear wheel and a driver's seat and a drive motor having a windshield device, as described above.
