(9) Referring to FIG. 1, a leaning vehicle 10 and a headlamp device 50 according to an embodiment of the present teaching will be described. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram conceptually showing the leaning vehicle 10 and the headlamp device 50.

(10) In the specification herein, directions in relation to the leaning vehicle 10 are defined as follows.

(11) The front direction of the leaning vehicle 10 is defined as front direction F. The back direction of the leaning vehicle 10 is defined as back direction B. The left direction of the leaning vehicle 10 is defined as left direction L. The right direction of the leaning vehicle 10 is defined as right direction R. The up direction of the leaning vehicle 10 is defined as up direction U. The down direction of the leaning vehicle 10 is defined as down direction D. The front-back direction of the leaning vehicle 10 is defined as front-back direction FB. The left-right direction of the leaning vehicle 10 is defined as left-right direction LR. The up-down direction of the leaning vehicle 10 is defined as up-down direction UD. The front, back, up, down, left, and right of the leaning vehicle 10 are respectively the front, back, up, down, left, and right in a view of a rider sitting on a seat (not shown) of the leaning vehicle 10.

(12) The front direction of a vehicle body 20 included in the leaning vehicle 10 is defined as front direction f. The back direction of the vehicle body 20 included in the leaning vehicle 10 is defined as back direction b. The left direction of the vehicle body 20 included in the leaning vehicle 10 is defined as left direction 1. The right direction of the vehicle body 20 included in the leaning vehicle 10 is defined as right direction r. The up direction of the vehicle body 20 included in the leaning vehicle 10 is defined as up direction u. The down direction of the vehicle body 20 included in the leaning vehicle 10 is defined as down direction d. The front-back direction of the vehicle body 20 included in the leaning vehicle 10 is defined as front-back direction fb. The left-right direction of the vehicle body 20 included in the leaning vehicle 10 is defined as left-right direction lr. The up-down direction of the vehicle body 20 included in the leaning vehicle 10 is defined as up-down direction ud.

(13) In the leaning vehicle 10, the vehicle body 20 is capable of leaning in the left direction L or in the right direction R. While the vehicle body 20 is leaning in the left direction L or in the right direction R, the up-down direction ud and the left-right direction lr of the vehicle body 20 do not coincide with the up-down direction UD and the left-right direction LR of the leaning vehicle 10. On the other hand, while the vehicle body 20 is upright, the up-down direction ud and left-right direction lr of the vehicle body 20 coincide with the up-down direction UD and the left-right direction LR of the leaning vehicle 10.

(14) Referring to FIG. 1, the leaning vehicle 10 includes the vehicle body 20 and the headlamp device 50. Descriptions of them will follow hereinafter.

(15) The vehicle body 20 leans in the left direction L when the leaning vehicle 10 turns left. The vehicle body 20 leans in the right direction R when the leaning vehicle 10 turns right. The vehicle body 20 includes a front cover 22.

(16) The headlamp device 50 is supported by the vehicle body 20. When the leaning vehicle 10 turns left, the headlamp device 50 leans in the left direction L together with the vehicle body 20. When the leaning vehicle 10 turns right, the headlamp device 50 leans in the right direction R together with the vehicle body 20. The headlamp device 50 is disposed inside the front cover 22.

(17) The headlamp device 50 includes a headlamp 60 and a pair of cornering lamps 70L, 70R. Descriptions of them will follow hereinafter.

(18) The headlamp 60 emits light toward the front of the vehicle body 20. The headlamp 60 includes at least one headlamp light source 62 and a headlamp housing 64. The headlamp housing 64 stores the at least one headlamp light source 62 therein.

(19) When the leaning vehicle 10 turns left, a first cornering lamp out of the pair of cornering lamps 70L, 70R emits light such that a single left-front light emission area 71L visually recognizable by the rider of the leaning vehicle 10 is formed on a road surface at the left-front of the vehicle body 20. When the leaning vehicle 10 turns right, a second cornering lamp out of the pair of cornering lamps 70L, 70R emits light such that a single right-front light emission area 71R visually recognizable by the rider of the leaning vehicle 10 is formed on a road surface at the right-front of the vehicle body 20.

(20) Each one of the pair of cornering lamps 70L, 70R includes at least one cornering lamp light source 72, a light travel direction changing member 74, and a cornering lamp housing 76. Descriptions of them will follow hereinafter.

(21) The light travel direction changing member 74 is disposed corresponding to the at least one cornering lamp light source 72. The light travel direction changing member 74 includes a single light travel direction changing surface 741. The single light travel direction changing surface 741 changes a travel direction of light outputted from the at least one cornering lamp light source 72. More specifically, the single light travel direction changing surface 741 changes the travel direction of light outputted from the at least one cornering lamp light source 72 such that the single left-front light emission area 71L is formed on a road surface at the left-front of the vehicle body 20 when the leaning vehicle 10 turns left, or such that the single right-front light emission area 71R is formed on a road surface at the right-front of the vehicle body 20 when the leaning vehicle 10 turns right.

(22) The cornering lamp housing 76 stores therein the at least one cornering lamp light source 72 and the light travel direction changing member 74. The cornering lamp housing 76 is provided as a member different from the headlamp housing 64. The cornering lamp housing 76 is separated from the headlamp housing 64.

(23) In this leaning vehicle 10, the cornering lamp housing 76 and the headlamp housing 64 disposed inside the front cover 22 are provided as different members, and are arranged separately from each other. This enables each of the cornering lamp housing 76 and the headlamp housing 64 to be downsized to the minimum required size, and also increases the degree of freedom in arranging the cornering lamp housing 76 and the headlamp housing 64. The cornering lamp housing 76 and the headlamp housing 64, therefore, can be arranged at appropriate positions without interference with various components such as electrical system components and brake system components that are also disposed inside the front cover 22. It consequently is possible to allow the front cover 22 to be compact while suppressing concentration of heat emitted from the headlamp light source 62 included in the headlamp 60 and from the cornering lamp light sources 72 included in the pair of cornering lamps 70L, 70R.

(24) The reason why it is possible to allow the front cover 22 to be compact will be explained with reference to FIG. 2. In a headlamp device according to a comparative example, a left-right pair of cornering lamps 70L, 70R and a headlamp 60 are provided with a common housing H1, which involves upsizing of the housing H1. As a result, arranging the housing H1 inside a front cover 22 without interference with a component P1 other than the headlamp device, which represents various components such as electrical system components and brake system components that are also disposed inside the front cover 22, is incompatible with allowing the front cover 22 to be compact.

(25) In a headlamp device 10 according to the embodiment, on the other hand, the cornering lamp housings 76 can be separated from the headlamp housing 64, and therefore each of the cornering lamp housings 76 and the headlamp housing 64 can be downsized to the minimum required size, and additionally the degree of freedom in arranging the cornering lamp housings 76 and the headlamp housing 64 is increased. Accordingly, it is possible to arrange the cornering lamp housings 76 and the headlamp housing 64 at appropriate positions without interference with a component P1 other than the headlamp device disposed inside the front cover 22. To be specific, they may be arranged such that: (1) when viewed in the front direction for the back direction b of the vehicle body 20, each of the cornering lamp housings 76 and the headlamp housing 64 is located upward of the various components P1 such as electrical system components and brake system components disposed inside the front cover 22; or (2) when viewed in the front direction f or the back direction b of the vehicle body 20, either one of the cornering lamp housings 76 or the headlamp housing 64 is/are located upward of the various components P1 such as electrical system components and brake system components disposed inside the front cover 22 while the other of the cornering lamp housings 76 and the headlamp housing 64 is/are located downward of the various components P1 such as electrical system components and brake system components disposed inside the front cover 22. Arranging the cornering lamp housings 76 and the headlamp housing 64 in this manner can allow the front cover 22 to be compact while suppressing concentration of heat emitted from the headlamp light source 62 included in the headlamp 60 and from the cornering lamp light sources 72 included respectively in the pair of cornering lamps 70L, 70R, as compared to the case where the left-right pair of cornering lamps 70L, 70R and the headlamp 60 share the common housing H1.

(33) The pair of cornering lamps 70LA, 70RA are arranged side by side in the left-right direction lr of the vehicle body 20. When the leaning vehicle 10A turns left, a first cornering lamp out of the pair of cornering lamps 70LA, 70RA emits light such that a single left-front light emission area 71L visually recognizable by the rider of the leaning vehicle 10 is formed on a road surface at the left-front of the vehicle body 20. In the headlamp device 50A, when the leaning vehicle 10A turns left, the cornering lamp 70LA emits light such that the single left-front light emission area 71L visually recognizable by the rider of the leaning vehicle 10 is formed on a road surface at the left-front of the vehicle body 20.

(34) When the leaning vehicle 10A turns right, a second cornering lamp out of the pair of cornering lamps 70LA, 70RA emits light such that a single right-front light emission area 71R visually recognizable by the rider of the leaning vehicle 10 is formed on a road surface at the right-front of the vehicle body 20. In the headlamp device 50A, when the leaning vehicle 10A turns right, the cornering lamp 70RA emits light such that the single right-front light emission area 71R visually recognizable by the rider of the leaning vehicle 10 is formed on a road surface at the right-front of the vehicle body 20.

The at least one cornering lamp light source 72 included in the cornering lamp 70LA is, for example, turned on in response to the lean angle of the vehicle body 20 becoming equal to or greater than a predetermined lean angle while the leaning vehicle 10A is turning left. The at least one cornering lamp light source 72 included in the cornering lamp 70RA is, for example, turned on in response to the lean angle of the vehicle body 20 becoming equal to or greater than a predetermined lean angle while the leaning vehicle 10A is turning right. The turn-on of the at least one cornering lamp light source 72 is controlled by an unillustrated control device, for example.

(37) The light travel direction changing member 74 is disposed corresponding to the at least one cornering lamp light source 72. The light travel direction changing member 74 includes a single light travel direction changing surface 741. The single light travel direction changing surface 741 changes a travel direction of light outputted from the at least one cornering lamp light source 72. More specifically, the single light travel direction changing surface 741 included in the cornering lamp 70LA changes the travel direction of light outputted from the at least one cornering lamp light source 72 such that the single left-front light emission area 71L is formed on a road surface at the left-front of the vehicle body 20 when the leaning vehicle 10A turns left. The single light travel direction changing surface 741 included in the cornering lamp 70RA changes the travel direction of light outputted from the at least one cornering lamp light source 72 such that the single right-front light emission area 71R is formed on a road surface at the right-front of the vehicle body 20 when the leaning vehicle 10A turns right.

(38) The light travel direction changing member 74 is, for example, a reflector that reflects light outputted from the at least one cornering lamp light source 72 toward the front of the leaning vehicle 10A. In this configuration, the light travel direction changing surface 741 included in the light travel direction changing member 74 is a single reflector surface that reflects light outputted from the at least one cornering lamp light source 72 toward the front of the leaning vehicle 10A.

(39) The light travel direction changing surface 741 included in the light travel direction changing member 74 is, for example, arranged downward of the at least one cornering lamp light source 72. In this configuration, the at least one cornering lamp light source 72 outputs light in the down direction of the vehicle body 20. The light travel direction changing surface 741 included in the light travel direction changing member 74 causes the light outputted from the at least one cornering lamp light source 72 in the down direction of the vehicle body 20 to be reflected in the front direction of the leaning vehicle 10A.

(40) The cornering lamp housing 76A stores therein the at least one cornering lamp light source 72 and the light travel direction changing member 74. The cornering lamp housing 76A is provided as a member different from the headlamp housing 64A. The cornering lamp housing 76A is separated from the headlamp housing 64A.

(41) The cornering lamp housing 76A is, for example, supported by the vehicle body 20 and/or the front cover 22. The aspect in which the cornering lamp housing 76A is supported by the vehicle body 20 and/or the front cover 22 encompasses an aspect in which the left cornering lamp housing 76A is supported by the vehicle body 20 and/or the front cover 22 via a bracket, for example.

(42) The cornering lamp housing 76A includes an outer lens 761. The outer lens 761 is arranged at the front of the light travel direction changing member 74. The outer lens 761 allows light outputted from the at least one cornering lamp light source 72, of which travel direction is then changed by the light travel direction changing surface 741, to be transmitted therethrough.

(43) In the leaning vehicle 10A having the above-described configuration, like the leaning vehicle 10, it is possible to allow the front cover 22 to be compact while suppressing concentration of heat emitted from the headlamp light source 62 included in the headlamp 60 and from the cornering lamp light sources 72 included in the pair of cornering lamps 70L, 70R.
