If it is a fixed hook, there is no need to worry about forgetting to finish, and there is no worry about damage to related parts. However, since the installation space is limited, it is not possible to increase the size of the fixed hook. Therefore, the T-shaped hook 102 was adopted. In the case of a T-shape, the left and right claws can be secured to the T horizontal bar with the T vertical bar as the center, and the string can be sufficiently hung on the vertical bar and the left and right two claws. That is, the T-hook is smaller than the L-shaped hook, but the hang of the string can be earned. Further, if the net with a hook is hooked on the T-shaped hook 102 and the grab bar 32 so as to cover the helmet, the helmet can be held better. Furthermore, since the T-shaped hook 102 has two levels on the top and bottom, it can be selectively used according to the size of the helmet or luggage, and is easy to use.
The roller 100 is supported by an elastic member 100a that forms a roller bearing portion when an occupant gets on the passenger seat 26. And rotation of the roller 100 is suppressed because the elastic member 100a is crushed by a passenger | crew's load. When the passenger does not get on the passenger seat 26, the roller 100 can be rotated.
