Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a winch, and particularly to a winch hook fixing and storage device for an on-vehicle winch mounted on a vehicle.

[Prior art]

A conventional vehicle-mounted winch of this type is constructed as shown in FIG. 7, for example. That is, the winch device 30 is mounted on the front part of the vehicle via a front bumper 33 and a base angle 32 fixed to the vehicle body 31, and is driven by the forward and reverse rotation of a winch drum 34 that is driven by the vehicle engine. Wire 38 on drum 34 is paid out or rewound. At this time, the wire 38 is configured to be guided along a vertical guide roller 36 and a horizontal guide roller 37 attached to the roller bracket 35.

However, in such a configuration, the winch hook 39 must be securely fixed when the winch is not in use, but this fixing has conventionally been done using methods shown in Fig. 7 of this book or Figs. 8 and 9 shown subsequently.
The methods shown in FIGS. 10, 10, and 11 are used. That is, in FIG. 7, the hook 39 is hooked to the front towing hook 40 or locking device 41 of the vehicle, in FIG. 8 it is hooked to the spring shaft 42 of the vehicle, and in FIG. It is tied to the roller 37 with a string 43 or the like, and in FIG.
In FIG. 11, the winch drum 34 is held under tension by a guide plate 47 with a slit fixed to the front surface of the winch drum 34. However, in all of these methods, the locking cannot be said to be firm or reliable, and the appearance is also poor. In particular, in the methods shown in FIGS. 7, 8, and 11, there is a risk that the hook will come off if the wire becomes loose, and in the method shown in FIG.
The methods shown in Figures 1 and 10 have major drawbacks, such as the fact that attaching and detaching the hooks is extremely time consuming.

[Purpose of invention]

The object of the present invention is to overcome such drawbacks, and to guide the winch wire by fitting a winch hook storage holder between the guide rollers and fixing and storing the winch hook in the storage holder, thereby preventing the loosening of the wire. To provide a winch hook fixing/storage device which enables secure fixation without any problems, makes the storage space compact, and improves the external appearance.

[Structure of the idea]

The winch hook fixing/storage device according to the present invention has a winch hook storage holder having a modified U-shaped cross section with an open front surface and a fitting protrusion that fits between two horizontal guide rollers that guide the winch wire. a fixing plate that faces the storage holder and fixes the holder so as to sandwich the guide roller; and a clamping plate that is pivotally supported in a front opening of the storage holder so as to be openable and closable and that clamps the winch hook. , these storage holders, fixing plates, and clamping plates are bolted and
When the winch hook is fastened through the nut device, the protrusion of the U-shaped handle attached to the clamping plate restricts the neck of the winch hook, so that the winch hook can be securely and firmly fixed and stored in the storage holder. There is.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 shows the overall configuration of an embodiment according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a storage holder that stores a winch hook 11 therein, and on the back side of the holder 1 there is a space between upper and lower guide rollers 13, 13. A fitting protrusion 2 is formed to fit, and a hole 3 is formed in the center of the fitting protrusion 2.
is provided. Reference numeral 6 denotes a clamping plate that clamps the winch hook stored in the storage holder 1, and can be freely opened and closed at the front opening of the storage holder 1 through the sleeve 14, shaft 15, and machine screw 16 at the joint portion 4 shown in FIG. A hole 7 is provided in the center thereof, and a U-shaped handle 8 having a projection 8' is provided on one side of the hole 7. Reference numeral 5 denotes a fixing plate for fixing the storage holder 1, which is formed so as to sandwich the guide rollers 13, 13 and come into contact with the fitting protrusion 2 of the storage holder 1, and has a weld in the center serving as a fastening means. Bolt 9 is installed. 10 is a screw nut screwed onto the bolt 9.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5, the procedure for attaching a winch hook using this apparatus will be explained. Winch hook 1 is pulled out first.
1 is fitted into the fitting protrusion 2 of the storage holder 1 in a horizontal manner, and then the holding plate 6 is rotated in the direction C so that the protrusion 8' of the handle 8 restricts the neck of the hook 11. and insert hook 11. Next, the fixing plate 5 is made horizontally long (Fig. 1)
The tip of the bolt 9 is inserted into the hole 3 of the storage holder 1, and the screw nut 10 is temporarily tightened F onto the tip of the bolt 9. Next, in the temporarily tightened state, insert D so that the fitting protrusion 2 fits into the guide rollers 13, 13, and then pinch the tip protrusion 9' of the bolt 9 to vertically lengthen the fixing plate 5. Rotate in the direction E. Finally, tighten the butterfly nut 10 firmly. This allows storage holder 1
is firmly fixed between the guide rollers 13, 13, and the hook 11 is firmly held within the holder 1. In addition, when taking out the hook from the storage holder, it can be easily removed by performing the above-mentioned procedure in reverse.

As described above, according to the fixing and storing device according to the present invention, the hook has a fastening bolt passed through it,
Furthermore, since the neck portion is held in place by the holding plates, even if the wire becomes loose, the hook will not move or fall off. Furthermore, since the storage holder is small and compact and is inserted between the guide rollers, the hooks and wires are not exposed in an untidy manner as in the past, and the appearance can be significantly improved. Furthermore, since the mounting position of the storage holder can be freely selected at any position in the lateral direction of the guide roller, the hook can be easily and easily mounted regardless of the winding position of the wire on the drum. Furthermore, since the storage holder is given sufficient strength at the joint with the clamping plate, it will not break even under harsh handling. Furthermore, since all the work for attaching and removing the hooks can be done outside the guide rollers, work efficiency can be significantly improved.

Next, referring to FIG. 6, the figure shows an example of a cover plate added to the storage holder, and the cover plate 17 is detachably and rotatably attached to the storage holder 1 via, for example, a hinge 18. Its width is set to a length that completely covers a portion of the hook 11 exposed from the storage holder 1 and the wire 12 (see FIG. 4) connected thereto. In this way, the exposure of the winch can be completely covered without making the main body of the apparatus unnecessarily large, and the appearance of the apparatus can be further improved. At the same time, if the company name etc. is displayed on the cover plate, this can be used for PR purposes.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to the winch hook fixing/storage device according to the present invention, by fitting the winch hook storage holder between the guide rollers that guide the winch wire, the winch hook can be securely fixed in the holder and Because it is designed to be stored compactly, it completely prevents the hook from falling off even if the wire becomes loose, and it also eliminates the appearance of hooks and wires that are exposed to the outside like in the past. It has the advantage of significantly improving the appearance of the top. Furthermore, since the mounting position of the storage holder can be selected at any position in the lateral direction of the guide roller, the hook can be easily mounted regardless of the winding position of the wire on the drum, and all the mounting work can be done outside the guide roller. This has the advantage of improving work efficiency.
Further, since the storage holder is constructed to have sufficient strength, it will not break even if subjected to harsh handling. Furthermore, since the storage holder can be used as a display section, it can be used for PR, etc.
