Description

  The present invention relates to an accessory box for a vehicle in which a detachable mounted product is stored.

  Conventionally, in a vehicle accessory case for storing tools, as shown in FIG. 8, a tool 103 in a bag is inserted into a storage recess 102 of a main body case 101 so that the tool is not detached due to vibration during traveling. The holding band 104 having elastic force is hooked on the hooks 105 at both ends (both ends) of the main body case 101 so as to cover 103, and the tool 103 is fixed. An accessory case using such a holding band is also disclosed in Patent Document 1.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-16981

  However, in the accessory case shown in FIG. 8, the holding band 104 is easily detached from the hook 105 due to vertical and forward vibrations while the vehicle is running.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an accessory box for a vehicle in which a holding band is difficult to come off even when the vehicle is running.

  In order to achieve the above object, a vehicle accessory case according to the present invention includes a main body case that forms a storage recess in which a mounted product is stored, and a holding band that holds the mounted product in the main body case. The holding band includes an elastic band body and annular hooks provided at both ends of the band body, and the body case is a peripheral wall of the storage recess. The first and second hooks to which both the holding members of the holding band are hooked are disposed at opposite positions, and at least one of the first and second hooks protrudes from the peripheral wall. And a first arm portion and a second arm portion extending in substantially opposite directions along a direction intersecting a protruding direction of the base portion from a protruding tip portion of the base portion, and a first arm portion in the at least one hook 1 arm Length from tip to tip of the second arm portion is longer than the inner width for passing the hook in the locking member. Here, the “inner side width” is an interval between the opposite inner edges of a portion passing through the tips of the both arm portions in the annular hooking body.

  According to this configuration, the length from the tip of the first arm portion to the tip of the second arm portion of the hook is longer than the inner width of the latching body. Even if force is applied in the longitudinal direction, the holding band is unlikely to come off the hook.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that the first arm portion and the second arm portion of the at least one hook have different lengths. According to this structure, after passing the retaining body of the holding band through the longer arm part, the retaining body is moved toward the shorter arm side and passed through the shorter arm part, Can be easily fitted into the hook.

  In the present invention, the at least one hook may be T-shaped. According to this structure, the shape which has the said base and each arm part can be obtained easily.

  In the present invention, each hook has a planar hooking surface on which the linear hooking portion of the hooking body is hooked, and the hooking surfaces of both hooks are substantially parallel to each other, And it is preferable that the base part of one hook is deviated to the shorter arm part side of the first and second arm parts with respect to the base part of the other hook that faces each other. According to this configuration, since the positions of the base portions of the arms are deviated from each other, tension is applied to the holding band in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the holding band, and it is further difficult to come off. In addition, since the hook is biased toward the shorter arm portion side, a strong tension in the direction opposite to the direction in which the shorter arm portion extends is applied to the shorter arm portion side of the hook base portion. Even if a strong force acts in the direction in which the shorter arm portion extends due to vibration while the vehicle is traveling, it is possible to prevent the latching body from being detached from the shorter arm portion. Furthermore, in the longer arm part, tension is applied in the direction in which the latching body is detached from the arm part, but since the arm part is long, the latching body is not detached from the hook.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that a retaining protrusion that protrudes toward the peripheral wall of the main body case is formed at the shorter tip of the first and second arm portions. According to this configuration, even when a strong force acts in the direction in which the shorter arm portion extends due to vibration during traveling of the vehicle, the retaining member prevents the latching body from being detached from the shorter arm portion. .

  According to the vehicle accessory case of the present invention, the length from the tip of the first arm portion to the tip of the second arm portion of the hook is longer than the inner width of the latching body. Even if force is applied in the longitudinal direction of the upper and lower sides and the holding band, the holding band does not come off the hook.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this specification, the left and right sides of the vehicle body are the left and right as viewed from the rider's state.
FIG. 1 is a side view of a rear portion of a motorcycle having an accessory case according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the motorcycle shown in the figure, a rider's seat 3 and a passenger's seat 5 are supported on a rear frame (seat rail) 1 constituting the rear half of the vehicle body frame FR, and below the passenger's seat 5, A tool box 10, which is an accessory case for storing a detachable mounted product such as a tool (not shown), is supported on the rear frame 1.

  FIG. 2 is a plan view of the rear portion of the vehicle body with the passenger seat 5 removed. As shown in FIG. 1, the tool box 10 includes a resin-made main body case 12 that houses the bag-like tool 7 and a holding band 14 that holds the tool 7 on the main body case 12. Is fixed to the rear frame 1 by a fastening member 50 such as a bolt so that it faces the vehicle width direction (left-right direction). A cross member 8 and a seat lock device 9 attached to the cross member 8 are disposed in front of the tool box 10, and a lock hook (not shown) fixed to the lower surface of the passenger seat 5 (FIG. 1). Engages with the seat lock device 9 to support and lock the passenger seat 5.

  As shown in FIG. 3, which is a plan view of the tool box 10, the holding band 14 includes a band main body 15 made of a rubber-like material having elasticity, and annular hooking bodies 16 provided at both ends of the band main body 15. , 16. In this embodiment, the latching bodies 16 and 16 are formed of a metal wire bent into a quadrangular shape, but the shape and material are not limited thereto. However, a quadrangular shape is more preferable because the surface pressure is reduced because it makes line contact with hooks 24A and 24B described later.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the rectangular hook 16 has two long sides 16 a and 16 b that are substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the band body 15, and two short sides 16 c and 16 d that are substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction. One long side 16 a is inserted into an insertion hole 15 a provided at the end of the band main body 15 and connected to the band main body 15. The other long side 16b is a linear hooking portion that is hooked to a base portion of a hook to be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the main body case 12 is made of a high-strength resin such as a long fiber reinforced resin, and has a storage recess 17 opened upward in which the tool 7 is stored. The storage recess 17 is formed by a bottom wall 18 and a peripheral wall 19 and has a substantially rectangular shape in plan view as shown in FIG. The storage recess 17 is not limited to the box shape as in the present embodiment, but may be a basin shape having a low peripheral wall 19. The peripheral wall 19 has a front wall 19a and a rear wall 19b extending in the left-right direction (vehicle width direction) of the vehicle body, and both side walls 19c, 19d extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body. Hooks 24 </ b> A and 24 </ b> B are integrally formed at the opposing positions of the front and rear walls 19 a and 19 b so as to protrude upward. As shown in FIG. 5, the hooks 16 and 16 of the holding band 14 are hooked on the hooks 24A and 24B, respectively. As shown in FIG. 3, insertion holes 40, 40, 41, 41 through which the above-described fastening members 50 are inserted are formed in the side walls 19 c, 19 d.

  FIG. 6 is a front view of the main body case 12 as viewed from the front of the vehicle body. As shown in the figure, the first hook 24A on the front side extends in a direction opposite to each other along a base portion 26A protruding from the front wall 19a and a direction substantially perpendicular to the protruding direction of the base portion 26A from the protruding tip of the base portion 26A. It has a T shape having a first arm portion 28A and a second arm portion 30A. In the present embodiment, the base portion 26A and each of the arm portions 28A and 30A are substantially orthogonal in a front view, but are not necessarily orthogonal, and may be oblique, in other words, only cross. In the present embodiment, the first arm portion 28A extends to the right side of the vehicle body, and the second arm portion 30A extends to the left side of the vehicle body.

  The first arm portion 28A and the second arm portion 30A have different lengths. Specifically, the second arm portion 30A is set longer than the first arm portion 28A. At the front ends of the first and second arm portions 28A, 30A, retaining protrusions 32A, 34A that protrude toward the peripheral wall 19 of the main body case 12 are formed. The retaining protrusion 34A of the longer second arm portion 30A may be omitted.

  In the present embodiment, the rear second hook 24B has the same shape as the first hook 24A. That is, it has a base portion 26B, a first arm portion 28B, and a second arm portion 30B that form a T shape, and the first arm portion 28B is set to be shorter than the second arm portion 30B. At the tip of the two arm portion 30B, there are retaining projections 32B and 34B, respectively. The first arm portion 28A of the first hook 24A and the first arm portion 28B of the second hook 24B, and the second arm portion 30A of the first hook 24A and the second arm portion 30B of the second hook 24B, They extend in opposite directions. However, it is sufficient that at least one of the first and second hooks 24A and 24B has the T shape. For example, depending on the installation location of the tool box 10, only one hook side has an access space, and the other When there is no access space on the hook side, the one hook has the above-mentioned T shape, and the other hook has, for example, the same width as the inner width of the hook at one end of the holding band. A simple bent flat plate-like hook may be used.

  The base portions 26A and 26B of the hooks 24A and 24B shown in FIG. 5 are planar hooking surfaces 26Aa and 26Ba whose outer surfaces extend flush with the outer surface of the front wall 19a and the outer surface of the rear wall 19b. These hooked surfaces 26Aa and 26Ba are substantially parallel to each other. Thus, since each base part 26A, 26B has planar hooking surface 26Aa, 26Ba, the linear long side 16b of the hooking part 16 of FIG. 4 is lined with hooking surface 26Aa, 26Ba. Since the contact length becomes long, the latching portion 16 is stably latched to the base portions 26A and 26B.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the base portion 26A of the first hook 24A and the base portion 26B of the second hook 24B are offset toward the shorter first arm portions 28A and 28B. That is, the first base center line C1 passing through the center in the vehicle width direction of the base portion 26A of the first hook 24A and orthogonal to the hooked surface 26Aa passes through the center in the vehicle width direction of the base portion 26B of the second hook 24B. The second base center line C2 is deviated toward the first arm part 28A with respect to the second base center line C2 orthogonal to the hooked surface 26Ba, and the second base center line C2 is the first arm with respect to the first base center line C1. It deviates to the part 28B side. When this amount of displacement is t and the length of the band body 15 of the holding band 14 is L, t / L is preferably 0.03 to 0.20, more preferably 0.05 to 0.10.

  The length d1 from the tip of the first arm portion 28A to the tip of the second arm portion 30A in the first hook 24A is set to be longer than the inner width w through which the hook 24A of the retaining body 16 of the holding band 14 passes. ing. More specifically, the inner width w of the latching body 16 is larger than the distance d2 from the tip of the first arm portion 28A shown in FIG. 6 to the root portion 30Aa of the second arm portion 30A. It is set to be smaller than the distance d3 from the tip to the root portion 28Aa of the first arm portion 28A. That is, the inner side width w of the latching body 16 of FIG. 3 is in the range of d2 <w <d3.

  Next, a procedure for attaching the holding band 14 to the main body case 12 will be described with reference to FIG. The holding band 14 is first hooked on the first hook 24A on the front side and then hooked on the second hook 24B on the rear side. In order to latch the holding band 14 on the first hook 24A, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 7A, the latching body 16 is moved in the direction of the arrow A1, and one of the latching bodies 16 is moved. The short side 16c is allowed to pass through the longer second arm portion 30A and enter the latching space S1 between the second arm portion 30A and the upper edge 19aa of the front wall 19a. Next, as shown by the solid line, the latching body 16 is rotated in the direction of the first arm portion 28A (in the direction of arrow A2).

  Thus, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 7B, after passing the first arm portion 28A through the other short side 16b of the latching body 16, the entire latching body 16 is moved in the direction of the base 26A (arrow). (The direction of A3) and the other short side 16b is made to enter the latching space S2 between the first arm portion 28A and the upper edge 19aa of the front wall 19a.

  The gap g between the upper edge 19aa of the front wall 19a and the retaining protrusion 32A shown in FIG. 7A is set to be slightly larger than the thickness p of the hooking body 16. If this gap g is too small, it will be difficult to attach the latching body 16, and conversely if too large, if a large force acts in the vehicle width direction (left-right direction) due to vibration during travel, the latching body 16 is easily detached from the hook 24A. Further, the latching space S1 on the second arm portion 30A side may be inclined downward toward the base portion 26A as indicated by a two-dot chain line S11. Providing such an inclination makes it easier to allow the latching body 16 to enter the latching space S1, so that the latching body 16 can be easily attached to the hook 24A.

  Since the procedure for attaching the retaining member 16 of the holding band 14 to the second hook 24B is also the same as described above, the description thereof is omitted.

  In the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 7B, the length d from the tip of the first arm portion 28A, 28B to the tip of the second arm portion 30A, 30B in each hook 24A, 24B is Since it is larger than the inner width w of the latching body 16, it is difficult for the latching body 16 to be detached from the hooks 24 </ b> A and 24 </ b> B even if force is applied in the vertical and front-rear directions due to vibration during vehicle travel.

  Further, since the lengths of the first arm portions 28A and 28B and the second arm portions 30A and 30B in the hooks 24A and 24B are different, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the longer second After passing the latching body 16 of the holding band 14 through the arm portions 30A and 30B, the latch body 16 is moved and passed through the shorter first arm portions 28A and 28B so that the length d is latched. Despite being larger than the inner width w of the body 16, the hooking body 16 can be fitted into the hooks 24A, 24B.

  Further, since the base portion 26A of the first hook 24A and the base portion 26B of the second hook 24B are offset toward the shorter first arm portions 28A and 28B, the first hook shown in FIG. As shown by 24A as a representative (the same applies to the second hook 24B), a tension T is applied to the holding band 14 in the lateral direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the holding band 14, and the latching body 16 is further less likely to come off. Further, since the lateral tension T is applied in the direction opposite to the direction in which the shorter first arm portion 28A extends, a strong force is exerted in the direction (left-right direction) in which the first arm portion 28A extends due to vibration while the vehicle is traveling. Even if it acts, it is suppressed that a latching body remove | deviates from 28 A of 1st arm parts. On the other hand, in the longer second arm portion 30A, tension T is applied in the direction in which the latching body 16 is detached from the second arm portion 30A, but from the tip of the second arm portion 30A to the root portion 28Aa of the first arm portion 28A. Since the distance d3 is larger than the inner width w of the latching body 16, the latching body 16 does not come off the hook 24A.

  Also, since the retaining protrusion 32A is formed at the tip of the first arm portion 28A, even if a strong force acts in the left-right direction due to vibration while the vehicle is traveling, the retaining arm 32A causes the first arm It is prevented that the latching body 16 comes off from the portion 28A.

  In the present embodiment, a tool box for inserting a tool has been described. However, any accessory box that houses (mounts) a mounted product that is detachable from the vehicle body may be used. For example, a battery, a battery, an ETC (Electronic Toll)・ Collection system) Can be applied to boxes that store cards. In the present embodiment, the tool box 10 is supported by the vehicle body frame FR. However, in a motorcycle in which the seat rotates 90 °, the tool box 10 may be supported on the back side (bottom plate) of the seat. In that case, the holding band supports the tool from below when the seat is in place. Furthermore, it can be similarly installed inside the side cover. The present invention is also applicable to vehicles other than motorcycles.

  As described above, the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, but various additions, modifications, or deletions can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, such a thing is also included in the scope of the present invention.
