Description

[Detailed description of the device] [Field of this device]

 The present invention relates to a trunk mounting device mounted on a roof of a vehicle.

[0002]

[Background of the invention]

 Recently, it has become popular to mount a multi-purpose trunk on the roof of an automobile, but since this trunk is relatively large, there is a strong wind hit during running, and it is necessary to securely and firmly mount it on the roof. For this reason, the inventor of the present case has previously proposed a device for mounting the trunk as shown in FIG.

That is, in the figure, (A) is a rectangular parallelepiped rank body attached to the roof of an automobile, and a vertically long recess (F) is provided at the bottom of the body (A). (C) is a rail body made of a rectangular tubular pipe material in which a guide groove is formed over substantially the entire length of the lower surface of the rail body, and two rails are attached in the longitudinal direction of the recess (F). Both ends of (C) are provided with a space (B) between the opposite side walls of the recess (F).

Further, (E) is a cross rail support which can be slidably fitted to the rail body (C), and the cross rail (D) mounted by an appropriate means in the width direction of the roof of the automobile. It can be wrapped and supported. Thus, the horizontal rail support (E) is fitted into the guide groove of the rail body (C) and then slid to the position of the horizontal rail (D) to be fixed to the horizontal rail.

However, a lot of intense vibrations during traveling of the automobile are transmitted to the trunk body (A) in the longitudinal direction (front-back direction) thereof. Therefore, the fitting portion between the cross rail support (E) and the rail body (C) is loosened, the trunk main body (A) is moved laterally, and the cross rail support (E) is positioned at the interval (B). Finally, the cross rail support (E) slipped off from the rail body (C), and the tank main body (A) could fall, causing an unexpected catastrophe.

[0006]

[Purpose of this plan] This plan does not cause the trunk body mounted on the roof to drop even when the car is drastically running, and yet the trunk body can be attached easily and securely. .

[0007]

[Features, functions and effects of this device]

 Thus, the roof trunk mounting device for a vehicle of the present invention has a rectangular parallelepiped trunk body to be mounted on the roof of a vehicle, a vertically long concave portion provided at the bottom of the main body, and edges on both sides in the width direction of the bottom surface. The rail body is made of rectangular tubular pipe material with a guide groove formed along its entire length in the longitudinal direction, and a pair of rail bodies are provided in parallel with each other at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the recess. Both ends of the rail body are positioned so as to be almost in contact with the opposite side walls of the above-mentioned recess, and a space provided at the center thereof, a rectangular flat plate having a screw hole on one side of the front surface, and a back surface of the flat plate. A rotating plate having one end pivotally attached to the other side and arranged in parallel below the flat plate at an appropriate interval, and the upper end can be screwed into the screw hole of the flat plate and the lower end can engage with the other side of the rotating plate. It consists of a vault body with knobs and a horizontal rail support, It is its Features which has slidably fitted in the recess of the rail body parts.

Since the present invention is applied to an automobile having a pair of horizontal rails provided in the longitudinal direction of the roof, the horizontal rail has a gap with the roof and both ends thereof are fixed to the roof of the vehicle by appropriate means. There is. Therefore, in order to attach the trunk body to the cross rail of the automobile roof, first, both sides of the flat plate of the cross rail support are fitted into the guide grooves of the rail body. In this case, the lateral rail support is supported by the edges of the rail body on both sides, so there is no risk of it coming off.

Subsequently, the cross rail support is moved to a position where the cross rail is located, the knob is loosened to open the rotary plate downward, the cross rail is inserted into the rotary plate, and then the rotary plate is again mounted. All you have to do is tighten the closing knob. Normally, four horizontal rail supports are to be attached. However, the work is only a very simple operation of inserting into the guide groove of the rail body and fixing to the horizontal rail as described above. Since the flat plate of the cross rail support is rectangular and a relatively long part is fitted in the guide groove, so-called rattling does not occur in this fitting part, and it is possible to sufficiently cope with severe vibration during vehicle running. is there.

Further, a lot of intense vibration during traveling of the automobile is transmitted to the trunk main body in the longitudinal direction (front-back direction) thereof. Therefore, the fitting portion of the cross rail support and the rail body is loosened, and the trunk main body is When the side rail was moved to the side and the lateral rail support was positioned at the above-mentioned interval, and finally the horizontal rail support was displaced from the rail body and the tank main body dropped, which could cause an unexpected catastrophe.

In this point, as described above, since both ends of each rail body are positioned so as to be substantially in contact with the opposite side walls of the recess of the trunk body as described above, even if the trunk body moves in the traveling direction of the vehicle or in the opposite direction. There is no fear that the fitting between the cross rail support and the guide groove of the rail body will come off. That is, the means for fitting the cross rail support to the rail body is designed to be inserted into the guide groove of the rail body from an interval provided in the center of the rail body, and should the trunk be struck by the vibration of the vehicle during traveling. Even if the main body moved, the cross rail support did not move to the position of the above-mentioned interval, so there was no possibility that the trunk body would fall and cause an unexpected catastrophe.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4. (1) is a trunk body of a rectangular parallelepiped that is attached to the roof of an automobile, and the bottom of the body (1) has a vertically long rectangular shape. A recess (2) is provided. (3) is a rail body made of square tubular pipe material, with guide grooves (6) drilled along its entire length in the longitudinal direction, leaving edges (4) and (5) on both sides in the width direction of the bottom surface. To do. The rail body (3) is a pair of rail bodies (3) that are parallel to each other with a space between them in the longitudinal direction of the recess (2), and both ends of each rail body (3) are opposite side walls of the recess (2). A space (2 ′) is provided at a position substantially in contact with and in the center thereof.

(7) is a cross rail support, a rectangular flat plate (9) provided with a screw hole (8) on one side of its front surface, and one end on the other side of the back surface of this flat plate (9). And a rotating plate (10) which is pivotally attached to the flat plate (9) and is arranged parallel to the flat plate (9) at an appropriate interval, and the upper end can be screwed into the screw hole (8) of the flat plate (9) and the lower end can be rotated as described above. It is composed of a vault body (11) having a knob that can be engaged with the other side of the moving plate (10). Note that (D) in the figure is a horizontal rail provided in the width direction of the roof of the car (not shown), having a gap with the roof, and both ends thereof are fixed to the roof of the car by appropriate means.

In order to attach the trunk body (1) to the cross rail (D) of the roof of the automobile in this embodiment, first, the rail body (1) is attached to both sides of the flat plate (9) of the cross rail support (7). Fit in the guide groove (6) of 3). In this case, since the horizontal rail support (7) is supported by the edges (4) and (5) of the flat body (9) on both sides of the rail body (3), there is no risk of slipping out. Then, the cross rail support (7) is moved to a position where the cross rail (D) is located, the knob (11) is loosened, and the rotating plate (10) is opened downward to rotate the cross rail (D). All that is required is to insert it into the plate (10), close the pivoting plate (10) again and tighten the knob (11).

It should be noted that usually four of the horizontal rails (7) are to be attached, but the work is performed by inserting the horizontal rails (7) into the guide grooves (6) of the rail body (3) as described above. It is only a very simple work to fix it to the case. In this case, the flat plate (9) of the cross rail support (7) is rectangular and the relatively long part is fitted in the guide groove (6). Therefore, so-called backlash does not occur at this fitting part, and it is possible to sufficiently cope with severe vibrations while the vehicle is running.

Further, a large amount of vibration during traveling of the automobile is transmitted to the trunk main body (A) in the longitudinal direction (front-rear direction) of the trunk main body (A). The fitting portion is loosened, the trunk body (A) is laterally moved, and the cross rail support (E) is positioned at the above-mentioned interval (B). Finally, the rail cross section (C) moves to the cross rail support (E). There was a risk that the trunk body (A) would fall and cause an unexpected catastrophe.

However, in the embodiment of the present invention, since both ends of each rail body (3) are located substantially in contact with the opposite side walls of the recess (2) as described above, the trunk body (1) advances the automobile. There is no possibility that the lateral rail support (7) and the guide groove (6) of the rail body (3) will be disengaged even if they are moved in the opposite direction or in the opposite direction.

That is, in this embodiment, the means for fitting the cross rail support (7) to the rail body (3) is from the space (2 ′) provided at the center of the rail body (3) to the rail body (3). The guide rail (7) is inserted into the guide groove (6) of (3). Even if the trunk body (A) moves due to the vibration of the vehicle in progress, the cross rail support (7) keeps the distance (2). The tank itself (A) did not move to the position of '), so there was no possibility that it could fall and cause an unexpected catastrophe.
