Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] (a) Technical field The present invention relates to a roof carrier case for storing camping equipment, etc., and transporting it by placing it on the roof of a car.In particular, when opened, this case can be used as a simple boat. It is made so that it can be used.

(b) Background technology In recent years, with the improvement of people's lives, outdoor leisure activities such as golf, tennis, skiing, skating, etc.
Also, fishing, camping, hiking, etc. are becoming popular, and in particular, auto camping, which involves loading a tent or sleeping bag into a car and camping in the mountains or at the sea, is expected to become even more popular in the future.

When going auto camping, camping equipment such as tents and sleeping bags are bulky, so recently roof carrier cases have been used to store them and load them onto the roof of the car.
Conventionally, this type of case has been limited to the function of simply storing camping supplies.

(C) Disclosure of the invention This invention is used as a carrier case that is loaded on the roof of a car until it reaches the destination, and when it arrives at the destination, it can be opened and used to transport people to the sea, rivers, etc.
The present invention proposes a new carrier case that can be used as a simple boat for fishing or playing in the water in lakes and marshes.

That is, the present invention creates a completely sealed double bottom by extending the bottom plate across the entire inside of the symmetrical upper box and lower box that constitute the main ends of the case, which is divided into two halves. The present invention relates to a folding roof carrier case which can also be used as a boat, and in which the rear ends of the upper and lower boxes are connected and hinged by a connecting member made of a flexible material such as reinforced rubber.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the roof carrier case of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(d) Example 1 is a box-shaped ABS resin with upper and lower halves.
The case body is made of synthetic resin such as FRP, and the upper box body 1a and the lower box body 1b that make up the case body 1 are symmetrical, with both having a tapered front and an inclined surface at both front and rear end surfaces. The rear ends of both are connected and hinged to each other by a connecting tool 2,
When the front is opened, a connected body of two boxes is constructed as shown in Figure 3.

The intermediate horizontal plane portions of the upper and lower boxes 1a, 1b are uniformly formed in a wave shape in the left-right direction, and each of the boxes 1a, 1b
A bottom plate 3 uniformly corrugated in the front-rear direction is stretched across the entire inside of the bottom plate 3 with a spacer 4 made of foamed resin interposed therebetween, if necessary, to provide a space, thereby creating a completely sealed double bottom. Further, an L-shaped collar 5 is integrally provided on the butting peripheral edge of each box body 1a, 1b over the entire circumference, and the collar 5 has a protector molding made of an elastic material such as synthetic rubber. (not shown) is fitted to protect it from external impacts.

FIG. 4 shows the connecting tool 2 that connects the rear ends of the upper and lower boxes 1a and 1b to each other, and 2a is a flat H made of a flexible material such as reinforced rubber with reinforcing fibers 2b woven inside. Shaft insertion holes 2d are coaxially opened in the left-right direction in the protrusions on both sides of the connecting body 2a, sandwiching the front and rear intermediate cutout portions 2c of the connecting body 2a. Reference numeral 2e denotes a fixing member having a substantially convex cross section, and a shaft 2f that is inserted into the connecting body insertion hole 2d is inserted and fixed into the protruding portion of the member 2e that fits into the connecting body cutout portion 2c. Two bolt shafts 2g are protruded and fixed on the outside of the base flat plate portion of 2e with a slight distance between them.

Then, the bolt shaft 2g of the connector fixing member 2e is inserted into the upper edge of the rear end of the upper box body 1a and tightened with the nut 6 to fix the member 2e. While fixing another member 2e to the edge, and with the protruding part of the fixing member 2e fitted into the connecting body cutout part 2c, the shaft 2f is inserted into the connecting body insertion hole 2d through the protruding part. Then, the rear ends of both the upper and lower boxes 1a and 1b are connected.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a buffer plate such as a rubber plate attached to the front inclined portion of both the upper and lower boxes 1a, 1b, and 8 similarly indicates a buffer plate such as a rubber plate.
This is a buffer plate attached to the side of 1b.

Reference numeral 9 denotes an engaging member provided with a hole through which a pin protruding from a fixing fitting 10 to the automobile roof is inserted when the case of the present invention is loaded and fixed on the roof of the automobile. They are installed at appropriate intervals in the front and back.

The upper and lower boxes 1a and 1b each have a length of 150 to 180 cm, a width of 80 to 150 cm, and a depth of 20 to 50 cm.
cm, and if you go to auto camp,
Various things such as a tent, a sleeping bag, a stove, or a paddle are stuffed into the case body 1, and both box bodies 1a,
1b are butt-fixed using appropriate locking means such as buckles, and then loaded and fixed on the roof of an automobile using a fixing fitting 10, as shown in FIG.

When you arrive at your destination and open this case body 1, the upper and lower boxes 1a and 1b become two-person boats, as shown in Figure 3, and both boxes 1a and 1b are completely sealed as described above. Since it has a double bottom, it has enough buoyancy even when floating on water, so you can ride it for fishing and playing in the water. Additionally, if you use this as a boat,
Both boxes 1a and 1b are connected by a connector 2 made of flexible material, so even if some waves occur, each box 1a,
Since 1b can adapt to the waves independently, it is also highly safe.

(e) Effects of the invention The roof carrier case of the invention is constructed as described above, and can be used as a simple boat by filling it with auto camping supplies and loading it on the roof of a car, and by floating it on a lake or marsh at a camping area. because there is,
It allows fishing and playing in the water, making camping even more enjoyable, and has various advantages such as simple structure and easy manufacture.
