Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automobile jack storage device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in various automobiles (mainly passenger cars), in order to lift the vehicle body when exchanging tires,
A pantograph type jack 51 as shown in FIG. 7 is stored. This type of jack 51 is fixedly held by a jack bracket 52 fixed to a floor panel on the vehicle body side, and the opening of the jack bracket 52 is arranged sideways. Then, the jack 51 is inserted into the jack bracket 52, and in this state, the handle receiver 53 is rotated to raise the head portion 54 to expand the head portion 54 in the vertical direction, and the head portion 54 and the bottom portion 55 are expanded. The upper and lower wall surfaces 52a and 52b are pressed against each other and fixed by frictional force generated between the jack bracket 52 and the head and bottom 55 of the jack 51.

[0003]

However, in the above-described conventional jack storage device, the jack 51 is fixed only by the frictional force between the head portion 54 and the bottom portion 55 of the jack 51 and the jack bracket 52. Not too much,
When the handlebar support 53 is loosened due to vibration of the vehicle body while the vehicle is running, the frictional force between the jack 51 and the jack bracket 52 is reduced, and the jack 51 is apt to rattle or fall off. Was there. Therefore, in order to prevent the jack 51 from falling off,
Bending pieces 56 and 57 are provided on the upper and lower wall surfaces 52a and 52b of the jack bracket 52, and a rubber band 58 is hooked on the bending pieces 56 and 57 to fix the jack 51. However, this fixing method increases the cost of parts due to an increase in the number of parts, and since there is no operability, the work of storing the jack 51 becomes troublesome,
It was inconvenient to use.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a jack storage device which can be easily attached and detached and which can be surely stored without falling during traveling of a vehicle. To provide.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, in the present invention, while a locking claw is provided on a side surface of a jack bracket fixed to a floor panel and having a substantially U-shaped cross section, A gap is provided between the head and the arm of the jack, the locking claw is inserted into the gap of the jack to dispose the jack in the jack bracket, and the jack is expanded to extend the side surface of the jack bracket and It is configured to be fixed by being brought into pressure contact with the locking claw.

[0006]

[Operation] In the jack storage device according to the present invention, a locking claw is provided on a side surface of a jack bracket having a substantially U-shaped cross section, and the locking claw is inserted into a gap of the jack to expand the jack arranged in the jack bracket. Since it is fixed by
It is possible to prevent the jack from rattling or falling off while the vehicle is running.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below based on the illustrated embodiments.

FIGS. 1 to 6 show an embodiment of the present invention. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 is a cab-over type vehicle, and an intermediate portion of a floor panel 2 of the vehicle 1 is an upper portion toward the rear of the vehicle body. An inclined surface 2a that inclines to the left is formed continuously with the horizontal surface 2b.

A jack bracket 4 is fixed to the upper surface of the floor panel 2 via a stay member 3.
In this stay member 3, the lower ends of the front and rear legs 5 and 6 that are bent downward are formed by the horizontal surface 2b and the inclined surface 2 of the floor panel 2.
It is fixed to each of the a, so that the locking claws of the jack bracket 4 described later are arranged so as to be inclined downward toward the front side of the vehicle body. Therefore, the front leg portion 5 of the stay member 3 is bent and formed so as to be longer than the rear leg portion 6.

On the other hand, the jack bracket 4 is for accommodating and fixing a pantograph-type jack 7 which is arranged sideways, and is formed in a substantially U-shaped cross section by bending both left and right sides upward at a substantially right angle. The flat surface 3a of the stay member 3 is welded. Further, of the left and right side surfaces 4a and 4b of the jack bracket 4, a locking claw 8 is provided on the right side surface 4b. The locking claw 8 is formed in a substantially inverted L shape by notching the center of the right end portion of the jack bracket 4, and the insertion piece portion 8a extends from the front side toward the rear of the vehicle body. Thus, the locking claw 8 is provided at a distance from the right side surface 4b of the jack bracket 4 located on the rear side of the vehicle body, and the locking claw 8 can be inserted into the clearance of the jack 7 described later.

As shown in FIG. 4, the jack 7 has a jack head 9 and a jack bottom 10 which are connected by an arm 11 of a link mechanism. The part 9 is configured to move up and down. A gap 13 is formed between the jack head portion 9 and the arm portion 11 and has a size into which the locking claw 8 of the jack bracket 4 can be inserted.

To store the jack 7 in this embodiment, first, the contracted jack 7 is laid down sideways and the jack head 9 is directed to the right side of the vehicle body. Then jack head 9
When the side is arranged between the right side surface 4b of the jack bracket 4 and the locking claw 8 and is inserted in the direction of the arrow (front of the vehicle body) shown in FIG. 5, the insertion piece 8a of the locking claw 8 is accordingly jack head. The jack 7 is installed in the jack bracket 4 by being inserted into the gap 13 between the portion 9 and the arm portion 11. Then, when the handle receiver 12 of the jack 7 is operated in the expanding direction to bring the jack bottom portion 10 and the arm portion 11 into pressure contact with the left side surface 4a of the jack bracket 4 and the locking claw 8, respectively, the insertion piece of the locking claw 8 is inserted. The jack 7 is housed and fixed in the jack bracket 4 in a state where the 8a is arranged in the gap 13 (see FIG. 6). In addition, when using the jack 7, the jack 7 is taken out from the jack bracket 4 by performing an operation reverse to the above procedure.

In the jack storage device of this embodiment,
Since the jack 7 arranged sideways is housed and fixed in the jack bracket 4 with the inserting piece 8a of the locking claw 8 inserted in the gap 13, the jack 7 is hard to be loosened due to vibration of the vehicle body or the like. .. Moreover, since the jack bracket 4 is inclined toward the front side of the vehicle body by the stay member 3, even if the jack 7 is loosened and is likely to fall off from the jack bracket 4, the jack 7 becomes the locking claw 8 of the jack bracket 4. It is possible to prevent the jack 7 from falling off without biting in and using a fixing band unlike the conventional case.

The embodiment of the present invention has been described above.
The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications and changes can be made based on the technical idea of the present invention.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the jack bracket 4 is attached to the floor panel 2 via the stay member 3.
However, the jack bracket 4 may be directly fixed to the floor panel 2 without using the stay member 3. At this time, the jack bracket 4 needs to be formed so as to correspond to the shape of the floor panel 2.

[0016]

As described above, in the jack storage device according to the present invention, the locking bracket is provided on the side surface of the jack bracket fixed to the floor panel and having a substantially U-shaped cross section, while the jack head and the arm portion are provided. A gap is provided between the two, the locking claw is inserted into this gap to arrange the jack in the jack bracket, and the jack is expanded and fixed by pressing the side surface of the jack bracket and the locking claw. Since it is configured, the jack can be stored easily and the use of the jack becomes convenient. Moreover, according to the jack storage device of the present invention, the jack stored in the jack bracket can be securely fixed, so that the rattling of the jack while the vehicle is traveling can be prevented, and the jack is unlikely to drop off. can do.
