Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a structure for fixing objects to be placed on a roof carrier of an automobile.

A fixing band (fixing belt) is used as a means for placing an object (for example, skis) on the horizontal rod of the carrier body and fixing the object to the horizontal rod.
A wide variety of methods have been adopted that use the .
For example, Utility Model Publication No. 54-5480 and Utility Model Publication No. 51-
There is a fixed band described in Publication No. 20625.
However, since these fixing bands are provided at least on the roof carrier with two fixing band locking members that sandwich the object placed on the roof carrier, the above-mentioned problem may occur depending on the size of the object placed on the roof carrier. It is complicated to have to release the fixing means of at least one of the retaining members and fix the retaining member again in a position suitable for the size of the object to be placed, and the fixing means must be released. However, the position to re-fix the locking member must be on the roof carrier closer to the center of the roof, and considering that it is near the center of the roof of the car, this work is extremely difficult. However, the workability of fixing the placed object using the fixing band on the roof carrier was poor.

This idea was created in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional methods, and it makes it extremely easy to wind and lock the fixing band regardless of the size of the object placed on the roof carrier, and also firmly fixes the object. The object of the present invention is to provide a structure for fixing objects to be placed on a roof carrier.

Embodiments of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a roof carrier, which includes a horizontal frame 2, fixing members 4, 4, that is, leg portions for fixing a T-shaped locking body 3, which will be described later, to both ends of the horizontal frame 2, and these fixing members 4. , 4, and a locking plate 5 connected to the lower end of the locking plate 5.
The horizontal frame rod 2 is bridged over the roof 6a by engaging and fixing the ducts 7, 7 projecting from both end edges of the roof 6a of the automobile 6.

In FIG. 2, the fixing members 4, 4 (however,
In the drawing, only one fixing member 4 is shown. )
A T-shaped locking body 3 is fixed to the back side of the T-shaped locking body 3 by fastening members 11, 11, such as screws.

This T-shaped locking body 3 is positioned and fixed below the lower surface of the horizontal frame 2, which faces the article placement surface 2a of the horizontal frame 2. Therefore, locking pieces 3 are formed extending in the width direction at both ends of the T-shaped locking body 3.
a and 3a are formed to be located below the lower surface of the horizontal frame 2 that faces the article placement surface 2a of the horizontal frame 2. Further, the locking pieces 3a, 3a are formed to protrude outward in the width direction of the fixing member 8.

FIG. 3 shows the elastic fixing band 8. The fixing band 8 is made of strong synthetic resin or rubber, and has some elasticity, and is composed of a central folded portion 8a and both side portions 8b, 8b continuous to both sides of the central folded portion 8a. A locking hole 8c is formed through the tips of both side portions 8b, 8b.

In the above configuration, first, as shown in FIG. 4a, an object 9, such as a ski, is placed on the object placement surface 2a of the horizontal rack 2.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4b, at least a portion of the lower surface of the horizontal frame 2 and the outer circumferential surface extending upward continuously from this lower surface, that is, a portion corresponding to approximately the lower half circumference of the horizontal frame 2 in this embodiment. Then, the central folded portion 8a of the elastic fixing band 8 is brought into contact with the both side portions 8b, 8b to extend upward, and then both side portions 8b, 8b are attached to the article placed on the article placement surface 2a. The fixed state shown in FIG. 4c is obtained in which the locking pieces 3a, 3a of the T-shaped locking body 3 are attached to the surface of the ornament 9 and detachably engaged with the locking hole 8c.

As described above, this invention makes the center folded part 8a of the elastic fixing band 8 come into contact with the lower surface of the horizontal frame 2 and at least a part of the outer circumferential surface extending upward continuously from this lower surface, and both side parts 8b, 8b is placed on the surface of the object 9, and then the object 9 is horizontally mounted by engaging the locking pieces 3a, 3a of the T-shaped locking body 3 with the locking hole 8c. It can be pressed and fixed onto the article placement surface 9a of the rod 2. Therefore, it is not necessary to change the fixing position of at least one of the pair of locking members for locking the fixing band depending on the size of the object to be placed, as in the conventional known example. Regardless of the size of the placed object 9, the placed object 9 can be pressed and fixed onto the article placement surface 9a of the horizontal rack 2 by performing an extremely simple operation. It is.

The present invention also includes a horizontal rack 2 on which articles are placed, and fixing members 4, 4 provided at both ends of the horizontal rack 2.
and is fixed at a position below the lower surface of the horizontal rack facing the article placement surface 2a of the horizontal rack 2, and is engaged outwardly from the widthwise direction of the fixing members 4, 4 on both ends of the horizontal rack. It is composed of a T-shaped locking body 3 formed by protruding stop pieces 3a, 3a, and an elastic fixing band 8. On the other hand, the center folded part 8a of the elastic fixing band 8 is connected to the lower surface of the horizontal frame 2. The elastic fixing band 8 is brought into contact with at least a part of the outer circumferential surface extending upward continuously from this lower surface, and both sides 8b, 8b of the elastic fixing band 8 are placed on the surface of the object 9 placed on the object placement surface 2a. The locking holes 8c formed at the tips of both side portions 8b, 8b along the locking pieces 3a, 3 of the T-shaped locking body 3
Since the fixed structure of the placed object is removably engaged with the object 9, the height difference between the portions 8b, 8b of the elastic fixing band 8 that are in contact with the surface of the placed object 9 and the locking portions 8a, 8c. The object to be placed 9 can be reliably placed on the object placement surface 9a of the horizontal rack 2 without using one or more locking members.
Moreover, it can be firmly pressed and fixed. Further, when removing the placed object 9, the above-mentioned fixation can be released by a one-touch operation to disengage the locking pieces 3a, 3a and the locking hole 8c.

As explained above, this invention has the advantage that the workability for attaching and detaching the placed object is improved and that the placed object can be firmly fixed.
