Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a covered automobile in which the ceiling surface of the driver's cab and the top of the cargo bed are covered by a hood.

Generally, in a covered vehicle such as a Jeep, the ceiling surface of the driver's cab is opened, and a U-shaped roll bar is disposed between the driver's cab and the cargo bed.
It is known that a U-shaped frame is attached to the back of the loading platform, and a hood covers the top of the loading platform from the top of the driver's cab while supported by the roll bar, frame, etc. ing.

By the way, conventionally, in this type of vehicle, for example, a locking metal fitting having a protrusion is rotatably attached to the side of the car body, and a through hole having approximately the same shape as the locking metal fitting is provided at the end edge of the hood. Locking pieces are attached, and after inserting the locking metal fittings into the through holes of each locking piece of the top, the top can be attached to and removed from the loading platform by rotating the locking metal fittings to a position other than the insertion position. I was trying to stop it. However, with the above-mentioned conventional structure, there was a problem in that the work of attaching and detaching the top to the vehicle body was troublesome. Also,
If the hood expands and contracts due to long-term use and the length of the hood changes, it may not be possible to tension the hood evenly, and the hood may become loose, causing the hood to easily flap while driving. Ta.

This idea was developed in light of the above circumstances, and its purpose was to create a canopy that would facilitate the work of attaching and detaching the canopy, allow the canopy to be tensioned uniformly, and allow the length of the canopy to be adjusted. The aim is to provide cars with attached vehicles.

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the external appearance of a covered vehicle, such as a jeep, and numeral 1 indicates the vehicle body. A driver's cab 2 and a loading platform 3 are formed in the main body 1, and a U-shaped roll bar 4 is disposed between the driver's cab 2 and loading platform 3. Also, cab 2
The ceiling surface is open, and this ceiling surface is covered by a ceiling portion 6 of a hood 5, which will be described later. Furthermore, the loading platform 3 is formed from a floor plate, side plates 7, 7, and a back door 8. A U-shaped frame (not shown) is attached to the back of the loading platform 3, and as shown in FIG.
While the vehicle is supported by the vehicle, the top of the loading platform 3 and the ceiling surface of the driver's cab 2 are covered by a removable hood 5. This canopy 5 includes a ceiling portion 6 that covers the ceiling surface of the loading platform 3 and the ceiling surface of the driver's cab 2, and both side portions 9, 9 that cover the upper portions of both side plates 7, 7 of the loading platform 3 (only one side surface portion 9 is (illustrated) and a back surface 10 that covers the upper part of the back door 8 of the cargo platform 3. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the lower end edges of both side surfaces 9 and back surface 10 of the hood 5 are wrapped around a flat mounting plate 11, and each tip edge of the hood 5 is wrapped around a flat mounting plate 11, as shown in FIGS. is attached to the inner surface of the top 5 by a joining means such as a detachable cloth tape 12, for example. Further, a plurality of elongated holes 13 for length adjustment extending in the upward and downward directions are provided in the folded portion of each lower edge of the hood 5. A plurality of mounting bolts 14 protruding from the mounting plate 11...
extend inward of the hood 5 through each elongated hole 13 . Furthermore, each of these mounting bolts 14...
A mounting member 15 is formed by bending a metal plate.
through the nut 16 and the cylindrical insertion member 17
is screwed on. In this case, the insertion members 17 are arranged at both ends of the mounting plate 11, and the nuts 16 are arranged at locations other than both ends of the mounting plate 11. At the distal end of the insertion member 17, an annular engagement groove 18 is formed at the rear of a tapered surface that becomes narrower toward the distal end.

On the other hand, the automobile body 1 is provided with a locking mechanism 19 that removably locks the insertion member 17.
As shown in FIG. 4, this locking mechanism 19 has an insertion hole 20 into which the insertion member 17 can be inserted, and is inserted through a tubular receiving member 22 having a notch 21 formed on its circumferential surface. The control lever 23 is provided in the hole 20 so that it can be inserted into and removed from the hole 20.
The operation lever 23 is rotatably attached to the vehicle body 1 via a rotation shaft 24, and is held inserted into the insertion hole 20 by a biasing force such as a spring 25, for example. Then, insert member 1
7 is inserted into the insertion hole 20, the operating lever 23 is engaged with the engagement groove 18 of the insertion member 17,
The insertion member 17 is locked to the vehicle body 1, and the operation lever 23 is rotated against the urging force to disengage the insertion member 17 from the engagement groove 18. can be removed from the insertion hole 20. Note that 26 is a weather strip held by the mounting member 15.

Therefore, in the case of the above structure, the insertion member 1
7 into the insertion hole 20 of the receiving member 22 and push it to a predetermined position, the operating lever 23
moves along the tapered surface at the tip of the insertion member 17 and automatically engages with the engagement groove 18 of the insertion member 17, so the installation work for attaching the top 5 to the vehicle body 1 can be simplified from the conventional method. It can be done comparatively easily. Furthermore, the insertion member 17 can be easily removed from the insertion hole 20 by rotating the operation lever 23 against the urging force to disengage the operation lever 23 from the engagement groove 18 of the insertion member 17. This makes it easier to remove the top 5 from the vehicle body 1 than in the past. Further, a mounting plate 11 is wrapped around the lower edge of the hood 5, and an insertion member 17 protruding from the mounting plate 11 is secured to the vehicle body 1 by a locking mechanism 19.
As will be described later, the canopy 5 can be stretched uniformly and the appearance can be improved.
Further, elongated holes 13 are provided at the lower edge of the hood 5, and each mounting bolt 14 is protruded from the mounting plate 11 along these elongated holes 13.
By moving ..., the wrapping length of the hood 5 can be adjusted as appropriate.
When the length of the top 5 changes, the length of the top 5 can be adjusted as appropriate, and loosening of the top 5 can be prevented.

It should be noted that this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of this invention.

As explained above, according to this invention, an insertion member is provided on the mounting plate that is wrapped around and fixed to the edge of the canopy, and the insertion member is inserted into the receiving member having the insertion hole into which it can be inserted, and the insertion hole of the hood. A locking mechanism is formed by an operation lever that is provided so that it can be inserted and removed from a direction other than the insertion direction of the insertion member and is held in a state inserted into the insertion hole by a biasing force, and the insertion member is inserted into the insertion hole. The top can be attached by inserting it into the handlebar and pushing it into a predetermined position, and can be removed by moving the operating lever in the opposite direction. This makes it easier to attach and detach the hood. In addition, since the mounting plate is wrapped and fixed around the edge of the hood, the hood can be tensioned evenly.Furthermore, the edge of the hood is provided with long holes for length adjustment, and the mounting bolts protrude from the hood. Since it is made movable along this elongated hole, the length of the top can be adjusted and the top can be prevented from loosening.
