Description

"Container that can be detachably secured to a vehicle"

The innovation relates to a container that can be detachably secured to a vehicle and has at least one container on one lower horizontal leg of the support frame supporting web-shaped abutment and one on one upper horizontal leg of the support frame fixable locking member.

For example, such a container is known in which a projection of triangular outline is formed on the container, which protrudes into the support frame of the vehicle.

fits, but this has the consequence that the container disadvantageously only on a certain support frame the vehicle can be attached. In such a case, a locking member is provided on the support frame, which in a special recess formed by inserts in the projection in the fastening position borders. The construction and manufacture of this case attachment is relatively complex and inexpensive and can only be used to a limited extent due to the shape-dependent nature of the support frame and case projection.

In contrast, the object of the present innovation is to create a container of the aforementioned Type that is easy and inexpensive to manufacture and its secure attachment to a vehicle support frame is easy to carry out, for which in particular no specially designed support frame is required and the thus can be attached in a variety of ways.

This object is achieved by a case according to the innovation with the features of the main claim, wherein the The design features listed in the subclaims represent advantageous developments of the solution to the problem.

As an abutment for a lower straight leg of the support frame, a cross-over is attached to the container downwardly open, trough-shaped, simple sheet metal tab provided and as a Verrieqelungsorgan serves a something

modified hook lever lock, which is essentially works on the principle of a bottle cap and can be operated very easily with just one movement. To simplify the fixation of the position of the container on the support frame and to relieve the hook lever lock, a reinforcement plate is located under the bearing body of the lock with two molded, bent sheet metal tabs that overlap an upper straight leg of the support frame.

Since the abutment is web-shaped with a channel and a supporting frame leg Covered and reinforcement plate and hook lever lock arranged on an inclined surface of the container and can be connected to a second support frame leg, a secure fixation of the case is guaranteed, wherein the case is pulled tightly against the support frame by the arrangement of the fastening means and is secured against movement on all sides. The type of attachment is independent of the shape of the support frame. In a preferred embodiment of the innovation, two are on the case wall in plan view formed rectangular formations, which also serve to stiffen the case walls, and when in use the case as a top case, d. H. when attached to the upper frame of a motorcycle luggage rack, Take up a cross strut of the support frame between them and thus keep the case in a particularly firm position.

According to the innovation, the luggage container 1 is either on the side support frame 2 or on the upper support frame a motorcycle 3 releasably set. For this purpose, a web-shaped abutment 5 is located at the bottom of the container wall 4 provided, which is supported for attachment to a horizontal leg 2a of the support frame 2. aside from that

at least one hook lever lock 6 is attached to the case on an upper inclined surface 4a of the container wall 4 opposite the abutment 5, which is used for attaching the case 1 to the support frame 2 with a second cooperates upper horizontal support frame legs 2b.

The abutment 5 preferably consists of a sheet metal tab attached to the case with a channel-shaped cross section and downwardly open channel opening 8, which the Support frame leg 2a overlaps. The abutment 5 is supported on the leg 2a of the support frame and has a Length which corresponds to a portion of the length of the container wall 4. There is also the possibility of to shape the abutment 5 on the container wall 4.

On the side container wall 4, as indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 2, two approximately rectangular ones at the corners rounded projections 18 be formed out. When the luggage container is used at the same time as a so-called top case 20 (see FIG. 1), the container wall 4 then lying in a horizontal position on the upper support frame of the vehicle, egg is used between these Intermediate space 19 remaining projections 18, which is somewhat wider than the diameter of a support frame leg 21, for receiving a support frame leg 21 of the upper support frame, so that the container can slip

is prevented in the direction of travel.

The inclined surface 4a adjoins the container wall 4 in its upper region and extends from the vertical lateral container wall 4 upwards and towards the center of the container. Is on this inclined surface 4a the hook lever lock 6 is fastened by nuts and bolts or other suitable fastening means.

The hook lever lock 6 is on the upper inclined surface 4a of the container wall on a reinforcing plate 6a mon animals, which is approximately semicircular at its front end 2 has curved sheet metal tabs 6b, in the center of which remains a rectangular recess in a three-way view, the width of which at least d & width of the lower hook part 12a of the hook element 12 corresponds. The reinforcement plate 6a is used for Ent load of the hook lever lock 6, as its curved Sheet metal tabs 6b form abutments for the upper horizontal support frame leg 2b and overlap them.

In detail, the hook lever lock 6 consists of a hook element 12 with a hook lower part 12a, which is below the upper support frame leg 2b engages and a box-shaped lever element 14 with lock 7, which is around a fixed Lever pivot axis 13 is pivotable. The hook element 12 is connected to the lever element 14 via a second movable pivot axis 15. The lever element 14

rests in the closed position of the hook lever lock 6 on a bearing body 11 attached to the reinforcement plate 6a. The hook element 12 consists next to the lower hook part 12a, which acts as an abutment for the Support frame leg 2b is used from an approximately T-shaped upper hook part 12b in plan view, whereby at the lower end of the vertical! T-bar of this upper hook part 12b ei ⁿ e fork 12c is formed with two arms. A cylindrical fork is located on the outer sides of the arms of this fork 12c Bolt 12d, which is formed in guide grooves on the bearing body 11 when the hook lever lock 6 is closed inverted L-shaped guide elements 11b slides (see Figure 6). Run at the same time during the closing process the ends of the two fork arms of the fork 12c on two on the bearing body 11 provided overrun cams 11c.

On the bearing body 11 there is also a lock abutment 11b for the lock 7 of the lever element 14. In the closed state of the hook lever lock 6, the vertical T-bar of the hook upper part 12b of an approximately rectangular recess 14a of the lever element 14 added.

To carry out the container attachment to the support frame 2, the hook lever lock 6 is opened by opening the Lock 7 pivoted into the open position; then the container 1 with its abutment 5 is placed on the lower horizontal leg 2a, the channel opening 8 overlapping the leg 2a and at the same time

the sheet metal tabs 6b overlap the leg 2b and the legs 2a, 2b are in contact with the container wall 4. The container 1 is secured against movement downwards and transversely to the container wall 4. The lower part of the hook is now 12a hooked over the upper support frame leg 12b and then the lever element 14 onto the bearing body pivoted back, the hook 12a pulling firmly against the leg 2b and obliquely upwards and towards the container wall 4 tries to pull in, so that thereby the container 1 in an oblique direction downwards against the support frame 2 is held and is therefore securely attached. In the pivoted-back fastening position, the hook element 12 is in a dead position with its pivot axis 15 opposite the lever pivot axis 13 has been pivoted and cannot automatically move back into the open position. The lock 6 now secures the lock 6 against unauthorized opening.
