DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The present invention will now be described more specifically with reference to the following embodiments. It is to be noted that the following descriptions of preferred embodiments of this invention are presented herein for purpose of illustration and description only. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to be limited to the precise form disclosed.
The above and other technical contents, features and effects of the present invention will be clearly presented in the detailed description of a preferred embodiment below in conjunction with the reference drawings. The directional term mentioned in the embodiment below, such as up, down, left, right, front, or back, is only the direction with reference to the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are used to explain rather than to limit the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram that a motorcycle floor mat is placed on a motorcycle according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram that a telescopic bracket of a motorcycle floor mat extends from a receiving groove according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a motorcycle floor mat 10 of this embodiment is adapted to be placed on a foot pedal 20 of a motorcycle 1, and the motorcycle floor mat 10 includes a base 100 and a telescopic bracket 200. The base 100 is adapted to be placed on the foot pedal 20 and has a receiving groove 120. The base 100 has, for example, a first surface 101 and a second surface 102 opposite to each other, the second surface 102 is, for example, adapted to be connected to the foot pedal 20, and the receiving groove 120 is, for example, arranged on the first surface 101. The telescopic bracket 200 is arranged in the receiving groove 120 and adapted to extend from the receiving groove 120, so that a storage space S is formed between the telescopic bracket 200 and the base 100. The storage space S may be, for example, provided for placing a carried item.
The telescopic bracket 200 of this embodiment includes, for example, a telescopic cylinder 210. The telescopic cylinder 210 includes multiple annular portions 211, the annular portions 211 are sequentially connected when the telescopic cylinder 210 is in an extended state, and the closer the annular portions 211 are to a bottom 125 of the receiving groove 120, the smaller the opening areas of the annular portions are. In other words, in the annular portions 211 of the telescopic cylinder 210, the annular portions 211 further away from the bottom 125 of the receiving groove 120 have larger opening areas, making it easy for a user to take or place the item in the storage space S. Moreover, due to small opening areas of the annular portions 211 close to the bottom 125 of the receiving groove, the user may be provided with a larger foot placement space.
In addition, the number of the annular portions 211 of the telescopic cylinder 210 during stretching may also be adjusted according to the usage requirement, so as to adjust a height of the telescopic cylinder 210. For example, if the placed item is shorter, only the two annular portions 211 may be extended from the receiving groove 120, and if the placed item is longer, all the annular portions 211 may be extended out (as shown in FIG. 2), so that when placed in the storage space S, the item can be blocked by the telescopic cylinder 210 to be prevented from falling. When the telescopic cylinder 210 of this embodiment is in the extended state, the closer the annular portions 211 are to the bottom 125 of the receiving groove 120, the smaller the opening areas of the annular portions are. However, the opening areas of the annular portions 211 are not specifically limited in the present invention. In another embodiment, for example, in the annular portions 211, the opening areas of the annular portions 211 in the middle may be larger than the opening areas of the annular portions away from the bottom 125 of the receiving groove and the opening areas of the annular portions close to the bottom 125 of the receiving groove. In addition, a shape of the telescopic cylinder 210 of this embodiment may be, for example, a circle, but may also be other shape, such as a square and an ellipse. The shape of the telescopic cylinder 210 is not specifically limited in the present invention. The telescopic cylinder 210 in this embodiment has, for example, five annular portions 211, but the quantity of annular portions 211 of the telescopic cylinder 210 is not specifically limited in the present invention.
A material of the telescopic cylinder 210 in this embodiment is, for example, an elastic material, such as silica gel or rubber, making it easy to stretch. However, the material of the telescopic cylinder 210 is not specifically limited in the present invention. In another embodiment of the present invention, the material of the telescopic cylinder 210 is, for example, metal.
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram that the telescopic bracket of the motorcycle floor mat is received in the receiving groove in FIG. 2. Referring to FIG. 3, when the telescopic bracket 200 is received in the receiving groove 120, the telescopic bracket 200 does not, for example, protrude from the first surface 101. Specifically, by taking the telescopic cylinder 210 of the telescopic bracket 200 as an example, when the telescopic cylinder 210 is received in the receiving groove 120, the telescopic cylinder 210 is, for example, flush with the first surface 101 of the base 100, allowing the feet of the user to be placed stably on the motorcycle floor mat 10. However, this is not specifically limited in the present invention. In another embodiment of the present invention, the telescopic bracket 200 may also be lower than the first surface 101 of the base 100 when received in the receiving groove 120.
In addition, the base 100 in this embodiment further includes, for example, a gripping recess 130 that is arranged on the first surface 101 and is, for example, adjacent to the receiving groove 120. Specifically, the design of the gripping recess 130 makes it easy for the user to grip the telescopic cylinder 210 and stretch it upwards when the telescopic bracket 200 such as the telescopic cylinder 210 is received in the receiving groove 120. The base 100 in this embodiment has, for example, two gripping recesses 130 symmetrically arranged on an outer circumference of the receiving groove 120. However, the quantity and arrangement positions of gripping recesses 130 are not specifically limited in the present invention. In another embodiment of the present invention, the base 100 of the motorcycle floor mat 10 is, for example, not provided with the gripping recess 130.

In addition, the first telescopic portion 221 and the second telescopic portion 222 are, for example, adapted to be stretched separately; in other words, only the first telescopic portion 221 may be extended from the first receiving portion 121 while the second telescopic portion 222 remains received in the second receiving portion 122, and vice versa.
Next, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, wherein FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram in a direction from a rear 40 of the motorcycle 1 to a front 30 of the motorcycle. In this embodiment, a base 100a has, for example, a first side surface 103 and a second side surface 104 opposite to each other, an extension direction of the first side surface 103 and the second side surface 104 is the direction from the rear 40 of the motorcycle 1 to the front 30 of the motorcycle, and the first telescopic portion 221 and the second telescopic portion 222 are arranged along the first side surface 103 and the second side surface 104, respectively. When the first telescopic portion 221 and the second telescopic portion 222 extend, the item can be blocked by the first telescopic portion 221 or the second telescopic portion 222 to be prevented from falling off the foot pedal 20 of the motorcycle 1. A telescopic bracket 200a in this embodiment has, for example, the first telescopic portion 221 and the second telescopic portion 222, but the quantity of telescopic portions is not specifically limited in the present invention.
In addition, the first telescopic portion 221 in this embodiment includes, for example, a first handle portion 231, and the second telescopic portion 222 further includes, for example, a second handle portion 232. The first handle portion 231 and the second handle portion 232 are, for example, arranged on the first telescopic portion 221 and the second telescopic portion 222, respectively. When the telescopic bracket 200a is received in the first receiving portion 121 and the second receiving portion 122, the first handle portion 231 and the second handle portion 232 are, for example, adjacent to the first surface 101. Specifically, the first telescopic portion 221 and the second telescopic portion 222 are provided with the first handle portion 231 and the second handle portion 232 at one end away from the first receiving portion 121 and one end away from the second receiving portion 122, respectively, allowing the user to easily extend the first telescopic portion 221 and the second telescopic portion 222 from the first receiving portion 121 and the second receiving portion 122. Although both the first telescopic portion 221 and the second telescopic portion 222 extend out in this embodiment, this is not specifically limited in the present invention. In another embodiment of the present invention, the first telescopic portion 221 and the second telescopic portion 222 may be alternatively extended out or received. In addition, the requirement for the first telescopic portion 221 and the second telescopic portion 222 to have the first handle portion 231 and the second handle portion 232, respectively is not specifically limited in the present invention.

When the telescopic bracket 200c extends out, the telescopic rods 224 are sequentially connected by three columnar portions 225, and the closer the columnar portions 225 are to a bottom 125c of a receiving groove 120c, the larger the opening areas of the columnar portions are. Each of the first telescopic portion 221c and the second telescopic portion 222c in this embodiment has, for example, four telescopic rods 224. However, the quantity of telescopic rods 224 of each of the first telescopic portion 221c and the second telescopic portion 222c is not specifically limited in the present invention and does not need to be the same. In addition, in the present invention, the requirement for each telescopic rod 224 to have three columnar portions 225 is not specifically limited, and the requirement for each telescopic rod 224 to have the same number of columnar portions 225 is not further limited. The first telescopic portion 221c and the second telescopic portion 222c of the telescopic bracket 200c in this embodiment have, for example, the first handle portion 231 and the second handle portion 232 respectively, making it easy for the user to extend the four telescopic rods 224 of the first telescopic portion 221 and the four telescopic rods 224 of the second telescopic portion 222 from the receiving groove 120c at a time. However, the requirement for the first handle portion 231 and the second handle portion 232 to be connected to all the telescopic rods 224 of the first telescopic portion 221c and all the telescopic rods 224 of the second telescopic portion 222c, respectively, is not specifically limited in the present invention.
