A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11999428B2) discloses a side case attachment structure designed for saddle-type vehicles. The structure includes a first attachment portion and a second attachment portion on the side case, along with a holding portion on the vehicle body. The holding portion features hooking portions to secure the side case in an inclined position, ensuring the grip portion is forward of the side case's center of gravity. Additionally, a movement restricting portion prevents forward movement of the side case when pulled upward, facilitating detachment from the vehicle body.

Furthermore, the patent details additional features such as a protruding portion on the side case's lower portion and a projection on the holding portion to facilitate lateral movement of the side case away from the vehicle body during detachment. The structure also includes a third attachment portion and a third hooking portion for added stability, ensuring proper alignment of the side case when viewed from the lateral side. Additionally, a rear mounting component is strategically positioned above the side case, preventing overlap with the front portion and ensuring a secure attachment mechanism.
