[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a portable storage device formed from a fixed base that is detachably mounted on a roof of a vehicle and a cover member, and more particularly to a lock mechanism for the cover member.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 There is a portable storage device that can be detachably installed on the roof of a vehicle. The small ones are used to store illuminated lights and the like, while the large ones are used to carry portable items, as well as body covers and umbrellas.

For example, the suction cup and the magnet disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 62-268751 are attached to an adsorbent for a carrier that is mounted on the roof of an automobile by rotating a J-type lever. Used as a container.

The portable storage device that is detachable and can be easily attached to the roof as described above is used by storing a relatively expensive device for the purpose of theft prevention and other purposes. For example, the specific low-power wireless telephone device is convenient and useful when mounted on a plurality of vehicles and used for communication between vehicles and communication between the vehicle and the outside of the vehicle. Since the communication range is short when used inside the vehicle, the communication range can be extended by temporarily installing it outside the vehicle, for example, on the roof and using it for remote control from the vehicle interior. Therefore, when not in use, the cover can be detached from the roof for portability, and it is necessary to open and close the cover member easily and quickly to take out the wireless telephone device.

When the vehicle is traveling while being installed on the roof, the cover member needs to be always closed. Moreover, the cover member is securely locked in the closed state even when the vehicle is traveling at high speed or on a rough road with vibration, and pebbles and the like are scattered during the traveling of the vehicle. Although there is a risk of hitting the lock member, it is desirable that the cover member is in the closed state even in this case.

The more firmly the cover member is locked so as to withstand the above running conditions, the more the safety against the accident is guaranteed, but conversely, it takes time to open the lid and frequent opening and closing. It is not suitable for repeated use as described above.

[0007]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In view of the above situation, the present invention intends to provide an opening / closing device that can quickly and reliably open and close the cover member of a portable storage device installed on the roof of a vehicle or the like and has a simple structure. .

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the object, the present invention is a cover member that is fitted to a fixed base that faces the attracted surface in space with one end of a fixed base so as to be rotatable and openable by a support shaft. In a portable storage device that forms a housing with a lever, a shaft that extends horizontally to the left and right of the fixed base is used as a support shaft along with the other edge of the fixed base, and a lever that rotates upward and downward. , A cover member that protrudes to the lower center of the lever and is hidden by the lever when the lever is in the downward position, and can be pushed in by the open / close button without being blocked by the lever when the lever is in the upward position. It is configured with an open / close button that locks the open / close.

Further, the gist of the present invention is to provide a lever structure in which a concave portion for accommodating the open / close button is provided on the surface facing the open / close button.

[0010]

[Action]

 The lever is located in the upward direction when the transportable container is detached from the mounting surface, and when the lever is in the downward direction, the transportable container is fixed to the roof or is transported. In addition, a lever that is continuously installed along the other edge of the fixed base with the shaft extending horizontally to the left and right of the fixed base as a spindle and that rotates in the up and down direction, and that protrudes to the lower center of the lever, Consists of an open / close button that is hidden by the lever when the lever is in the downward position and can be pushed in without being blocked by the lever when the lever is in the upward position to lock the opening / closing of the cover member. Therefore, when the vehicle is traveling, the cover member of the portable storage device installed on the roof is always closed, and when the vehicle is traveling at high speed or traveling on a rough road with vibration. Even if it is locked, it is surely locked in the closed state. Further, while there is a risk that small stones or the like may scatter and hit the lock member while the vehicle is traveling, since the lock member is covered with the cover member, it does not hit the open / close button.

Further, since the concave portion for accommodating the open / close button is provided on the surface of the lever facing the open / close button, the open / close button can be protected more firmly, so that the cover member is surely protected in the closed state.
