A large-diameter drum is provided on the output shaft of the electromagnetic brake motor, and between the small-diameter drum and output shaft It constituted by a taxi boarding bevel made by interposing a torque limiter.
[0005]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
A substantially rectangular box 3 which is long in the left-right direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction a (traveling direction) is provided on the rear ceiling 2 of a taxi 1 of a normal passenger car.
[0006]
The length (width in the left-right direction) of the machine box 3 is formed to be slightly longer than the width in the left-right direction of the ceiling 2 as shown in FIG. 5, and the upper end surface is opened when used.
[0007]
A longitudinal support shaft 4 is mounted on the front and rear side wall plates inside one end (left end) of the box 3 thus constructed,
The base of the handle 7 of the umbrella 6 is integrally connected to the upward end 5 'of the ridge 5 wound around the support shaft 4, and the handle 7 can be erected by the force of the ridge 5 in an upright state ( (Fig. 2). In addition, the handle 7 can fall down in the machine box 3 (FIG. 3) against the force of the above-mentioned ridge 5.
[0008]
An umbrella opening push button 8 projects from the handle 7 at the base of the handle 7, and an operation stopper 9 for pushing the button 8 is provided at the left end of the box 3.
[0009]
That is, when the handle 7 is upright as shown in FIG. 2, the button 8 is pushed by the stopper 9, and the interlocking hook 8 ′ is disengaged from the sliding tube 10 for opening and closing the umbrella. By operation, as shown in FIG. 2, the umbrella 6 rises to the upper part of the handle 7 and the umbrella 6 is opened by a normal method by the force of the above-mentioned ridge 19.
[0010]
The sliding tube 10 is inserted into the handle 7 and descends to close the umbrella 6, and in this state, it is hooked on the hook 8 'to hold the umbrella 6 in the closed state (FIG. 3).
[0011]
A sliding ring 20 is provided on the upper part of the sliding tube 10 via a sliding ridge 19, and a projecting rod 22 connecting the ring 20 and the middle of the umbrella bone 21 is pivotally mounted on the ring 20 radially. Then, a short rod 23 connects the middle of the projecting rod 22 and the upper edge of the slide tube 10.
[0012]
Accordingly, in order to increase the distance between the ring 20 and the upper edge of the slide tube 10 due to the sliding ridge 19, the crossing angle α between the extension rod 22 and the short rod 23 is increased, and as shown in FIG. It is common practice for the rod 22 to open and open the umbrella bone 21, thereby opening the umbrella 6.
[0013]
As described above, in a state where the handle 7 is upright and the umbrella 6 is opened (the umbrella open position), a lower wire rope 14 is connected to the lower end of the sliding pipe 10 that is rising, and The wire rope 14 is wound around a small-diameter drum 12 provided inside the other end of the machine box 3, bypassing the small wheel 11 provided adjacently.
[0014]
Also, an upper wire rope 15 is connected to the apex portion 7 'of the handle 7 in an upright state (umbrella open state), and this is wound around a large-diameter drum 13 provided inside the other end (right end) of the machine box 3, The lower and upper wire ropes 14 and 15 are stretched.
[0015]
The large and small diameter drums 12 and 13 are provided on an output shaft 17 of an electromagnetic brake motor 16, and a torque limiter 18 is interposed between the small diameter drum 12 and the output shaft 17.
[0016]
Therefore, when the motor 16 is rotated forward with the battery for engine start as a power source and the large and small diameter drums 12 and 13 are rotated forward, the upper and lower wire ropes 14 and 15 are wound around the two drums 12 and 13, respectively. As shown in FIG. 3, the handle 7 shown in FIG. 3 can be laid down in the box 3 around the support shaft 4 against the force of the ridge 5.
[0017]
At this time, the lower wire rope 14 pulls the sliding tube 10 downward along the handle 7 to engage the tube 10 with the hook 8 ', and the umbrella 6 is closed while maintaining the state.
[0018]
Since the pulling length of the lower wire rope 14 is shorter than the pulling length of the upper wire rope 15, the lower wire rope 14 is wound on the small diameter drum 12 before the winding of the upper wire rope 15 on the large diameter drum 13 is completed. However, the rotation of the output shaft 17 for rotating the large-diameter drum 13 by the action of the torque limiter 18 between the small-diameter drum 12 and the output shaft 17 continues, and the upper wire rope 15 is wound around the large-diameter drum 13. There is no hindrance.
[0019]
When the handle 7 falls into the machine box 3, the vertex portion 7 'of the handle 7 opens the b-contact limit switch 27 provided in the machine box 3, stops the motor 16 and closes the a-contact limit switch 28 to close the electromagnetic brake 16 As a result, the rotation of the output shaft 17 is braked and stopped, and the handle 7 is kept in the lying state (the state shown in FIG. 3).
[0020]
When the rear left door is opened to stop the taxi 1 and put passengers in the rain, when the switch (not shown) provided in the driver's seat is turned on, the brake 16 'is released. Therefore, the output shaft 17 can rotate freely, and the handle 7 rises from the lying position to the upright position shown in FIG.
[0021]
When the handle 7 stands up, the umbrella opening push button 8 comes into contact with the operation stopper 9 and is pushed into the handle 7, and the hook 8 ′ is detached from the slide tube 10 in conjunction with the push.
[0022]
The sliding tube 10 disengaged from the hook 8 'is raised by the force of the sliding ridge 19, and the sliding ring 20 is also raised to open the extension rod 22 to open the umbrella bone 21 and the umbrella 6 is shown in FIGS. It is opened as shown in FIG.
[0023]
Therefore, the customer can enter the taxi 1 by entering the umbrella 6 higher than the handle 7 and closing the umbrella on hand before getting on from the open door.
[0024]
2 and 3, reference numeral 5 "denotes a laterally fixed end of the splicer 5, 24 and 24 'denote guide and pulleys of the lower and upper wire ropes 14 and 15, 25 denotes a windshield of the taxi 1, and 26 denotes a sliding ring 20. It is a stopper.
[0025]
【The invention's effect】
Since the present invention is constructed as described above, not only can advertisements be displayed on the front and rear surfaces of the above-mentioned air conditioner provided on the ceiling of the taxi, but also in the event of rain, the customer can use the umbrella held high by the umbrella which is open above the door when getting on and off. There is no danger of getting wet while getting on and off inside and outside the car after opening and closing, and there is an effect that it is possible to get on and off a taxi comfortably when it rains.
