Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To adjust the mounting position of a headlight of a bicycle corresponding to the size of a load carrying cage mounted at a front of the bicycle without changing the length of a mounting fitting by providing a slot in the forward and reaward direction of the cage in the mounting fitting. SOLUTION: A mounting fitting 4 is provided with a slot 5 along its lengthwise direction, and a headlight mounting part 6 is provided at a tip inclining in a triangular shape. By inserting a pair of mounting screws 7 into a pair of forward and rearward screw holes and the slot 5 in the fitting 4 and screwing them to screw holes 2, 2 of a receiving fitting 1, a load carrying cage mounted at a front of a bicycle, the fitting 4 and cage legs are integrally fastened in cooporation with the fitting 1. Through the adjustment of insertion position of the screws 7 by moving the fitting 4 forward and rearward, the mounting position of the headlight can cope with the size of the cage in the length range of the slot 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for mounting a headlight provided on the front of a bicycle basket.
The feature is that the mounting position of the headlight can be adjusted back and forth according to the size of the car.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A headlight of this kind, which is provided on the front of a car, usually has a mounting bracket for mounting the headlight at the tip between a bottom rear surface of the car and an upper portion of a car leg for supporting the car. At the same time, the mounting screw is inserted through a pair of front and rear screw holes provided in common with the bottom of the car and the receiving bracket along the upper back surface of the car leg. After fixing the mounting bracket in a predetermined position, a light is mounted on the tip of the mounting bracket.

[0003]

However, there are various sizes of carts, and it is necessary to move the headlight mounting position back and forth according to the length of the cart. By changing the length of the car, the position of the headlights was adjusted to match the length of the basket. For this reason, it is necessary to prepare various types of mounting brackets having different lengths in advance, and there are drawbacks in that the mounting of the headlight is troublesome and the cost is increased.

The object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional product by changing the length of the mounting bracket without changing the length of the mounting bracket, the mounting bracket and the predetermined mounting screw. Thus, the mounting position of the headlight can be adjusted according to the length of the car.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention provides a laterally provided recess along the upper back surface of a car leg in the center.
A receiving fitting provided with a pair of screw holes before and after sandwiching the recess,
A headlight mounting part is provided at the tip, and a long hole is provided along the front and rear direction of the car, and a mounting bracket that is placed across the top of the car legs along the back of the car, It consists of a pair of front and rear mounting screws that pass through the screw hole provided on the bottom and the long hole of the mounting bracket and screw into the screw hole of the receiving bracket, and tighten the mounting bracket between the car legs and the car. A bicycle, wherein the position of the elongated hole through which the mounting screw is inserted is adjusted back and forth, so that the tightening position of the headlight mounting bracket can be moved back and forth in accordance with the length of the bottom of the basket. The present invention provides a headlight mounting device for a vehicle.

In the mounting apparatus of the present invention constructed as described above, the mounting bracket is moved back and forth in accordance with the length of the car basket, whereby the tightening position of the mounting screw inserted through the elongated hole is adjusted. The headlights can be mounted according to the length of the basket with a set of members including the receiving bracket, the mounting bracket, and the predetermined mounting screw.

In the present invention, if the surface of the portion where the long hole of the mounting bracket is provided is punched out from the back side and raised,
The rigidity of the elongated hole portion is increased, and the elastic repulsive force acts on the tightening of the screw, so that it is less likely to be loosened, and the rigid attachment of the load and the headlight and the durability can be further improved. In the present invention,
In the case where the receiving fitting has a small projection on the inner surface of the concave part, the painting of the surface of the car leg is peeled off by the pressure contact of the small projection when tightening with the mounting bracket, and the grounding part of the headlight is formed at the same time when the mounting bracket is mounted. Can be done.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1 showing the embodiment, reference numeral 1 designates a receiving metal fitting provided with a pair of screw holes 2 at the front and rear and a concave portion 3 provided at the center in a lateral direction.
Is a mounting bracket having the same width as the receiving bracket 1, a long hole 5 is provided along the length direction, and a headlight mounting portion 6 is provided at a tip end inclined in a triangular shape. 7 is a length of the mounting bracket 4. Hole 5
Are screwed into the screw hole 2 of the receiving fitting 1 to form a pair of front and rear mounting screws.

As shown in FIG. 2, the receiving bracket 1 has a concave portion 3 along the upper back surface of a car leg 8 straddling the front wheel of the bicycle in a U-shape. The mounting bracket 4 is inserted across the top of the car legs 8 along the back surface of the car 9 and overlaps the receiving bracket 1. The mounting screw 7 is inserted into a pair of front and rear screw holes 10 provided at the bottom of the car 9 and the long hole 5 of the mounting bracket 4, and the lower end is screwed into the screw hole 2 of the receiving bracket 1 to receive the mounting screw 7. In cooperation with the metal fitting 1, the car 9, the mounting metal 4, and the car legs 8 are integrally fastened to each other.

In the apparatus thus mounted on the bicycle, the mounting position of the headlight 13 is adjusted within the range of the length of the elongated hole 5 by adjusting the insertion position of the mounting screw 7 by moving the mounting bracket 4 forward and backward. Can correspond to the size of the basket 9.

In this embodiment, the elongated hole 5 of the mounting member 4 is provided in a punched portion 11 which is punched out from the back surface along the length direction, and the rigidity of the mounting member 4 is increased by forming the punched portion 11. At the same time, since an elastic repulsion force against the tightening of the screw is generated to prevent the screw from loosening, the members are more firmly fastened to each other and have durability against vibration. In the receiving fitting 1, the small projection 12 provided on the inner surface of the concave portion 2 is pressed against the car leg 8 at the time of the above-mentioned fastening, the coating film on the surface is peeled off, and the ground portion of the headlight 13 is formed at the contact portion. It is configured as follows.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 14 denotes a bolt and nut for mounting the headlight 13. The illustrated embodiment is a most preferred example of the present invention, and it goes without saying that the design of each member is appropriately changed in accordance with the gist of the present invention.

[0013]

According to the present invention configured as described above,
With a set of receiving bracket, mounting bracket, and a pair of mounting screws formed as described above, the mounting position of the headlight can be made to correspond to a change in the size of the car, thereby reducing costs compared to conventional products. It is possible to expect extremely excellent effects such as easy installation and labor saving.
