PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem wherein, in a case where the work is executed while a handle working machine travels on an inclined ground in the direction along the contour such as a grass cutting work on an inclined normal surface of a road, or a tilling work, a crop controlling work, and a harvesting work on an inclined field, a worker gets on a rear step to stabilize the travel of a vehicle body while applying the weight of the worker on the inclination upper side of the vehicle body and if the rear step is flat, it may form an inclined step surface along the inclined ground integrally with the vehicle body, feet of the worker are easily slipped down to the side, his stepping pressure becomes unstable, and any correct working operation is hardly maintained.SOLUTION: In the constitution of a rear step of a handle working machine by deflecting a handlebar 2 projecting backward of a vehicle body in the right to left direction, a slope step 4 with its right and left faces being downwardly and outwardly inclined is formed on a step plate 3 installed on a lower part of the handlebar 2.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】道路の傾斜法面の草刈作業や、傾斜畑地での耕耘作業、作物管理作業、収穫作業等のように、ハンド作業機を傾斜地面を等高線に沿う方向へ走行させながら作業する場合は、作業者がリヤステップ上に搭乗して、車体の傾斜上手側に体重を掛けた状態で、車体走行を安定させる。このリヤステップが平坦面であると、車体と一体的に傾斜地面に沿う傾斜ステップ面となって、足元が横滑りし易く、踏圧不安定となって、的確な作業操作を行うことが維持し難い。【解決手段】車体1後方に突出のハンドル2を左右偏倚可能にして走行作業するハンドル作業機において、この車体1の後側で前記ハンドル2の下方部に設置するステッププレート3上に、左右両側部面を外側へ下り傾斜させたスロープステップ4を形成したことを特徴とするリヤステップの構成とする。【選択図】図1
