The sliding surface cover 16 is made of, for instance, a material with stretchability like a knit, and is provided on the center with a taking-in-and-out opening 26 for taking in and out a surfboard. Since the taking-in-and-out opening 26 is provided on a position near the end of the surfboard case 10, a distance to push a surfboard into is short. Furthermore, the stretchability of the taking-in-and-out opening 26 facilitates taking in and out a surfboard.

Description

  The present invention relates to a surfboard case that houses a surfboard.

  Surfboard cases for storing surfboards are widely known and used for storing and transporting surfboards. Further, Patent Document 1 below describes a surfboard case that can be fixed to an automobile (on a roof) in a state in which the surfboard is stored. In this surfboard case, a loading / unloading opening for loading / unloading the surfboard is provided on the rear side of the surfboard case, and the surfboard is pushed into the loading / unloading opening from the front end side and stored. Then, after the surfboard is stored, the surfboard stored is fixed with a belt so as to be pressed against the roof.

JP 09-301083 A

  However, the surfboard case described in Patent Document 1 has a rear opening / removal opening, and the distance from the insertion / removal opening to the tip of the surfboard case (that is, the distance to push the surfboard) is long. It takes time and effort.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described background, and an object thereof is to provide a surfboard case in which a surfboard can be easily put in and out.

  In order to achieve the above object, the surfboard case of the present invention includes a sliding surface cover that covers the sliding surface of the surfboard and a deck surface cover that covers the deck surface of the surfboard, and the sliding surface cover and the deck surface cover are overlapped with each other. A surfboard is housed between them, loaded on a belt stretched to the left and right on the vehicle interior ceiling with the longitudinal direction aligned with the traveling direction of the vehicle and the deck surface cover facing downward In the surfboard case, the belt that functions as a regulating member that regulates movement in the longitudinal direction by passing the belt through the deck surface cover when loaded in the vehicle, and functions as a handle that is gripped by the carrier during transportation outside the vehicle. A plurality of belt loops arranged side by side along the longitudinal direction, and the sliding surface cover -Is formed from stretchable fabric, and a loading / unloading opening formed in the longitudinal direction is provided at the center of the sliding surface cover, and the loading / unloading opening is expanded and contracted to store and take out the surfboard. It is a feature.

  The end portion is exposed from the cut formed in the string passage and is passed through the string passage formed along the opening / closing opening, and when the opening / closing opening is contracted, the end portion is pulled to A shrinkage string drawn out from the stringer, a plurality of expansion prevention rings provided in the vicinity of the entry / exit opening, and preventing the expansion of the entry / exit opening by inserting the shrinkage string drawn out from the stringer, It is preferable to include a locking portion that locks an end portion of the contraction string so that the contraction string does not fall off from the expansion preventing ring.

  In the present invention, a sliding opening is provided in the center of the sliding surface cover having elasticity. Accordingly, the distance to push the surfboard is short, and the surfboard can be stored with the opening / closing opening widened, so that the surfboard can be easily put in and out. In addition, because the sliding surface cover extends, it can also accommodate a surfboard larger than the surfboard case.

  In addition, since the surfboard is loaded in the vehicle, the loading position is low compared with the case of loading on the roof, and loading and unloading is easy. In addition, since it is not necessary to increase the strength of the material and the strength of fixing to the automobile in consideration of air resistance, the degree of freedom in design is high and the cost can be reduced. Furthermore, the interior of the vehicle is not contaminated with seawater or sand as compared with the case where the surfboard is directly loaded into the vehicle. Further, since the forward / backward movement is regulated by passing the belt stretched over the vehicle interior ceiling through the belt loop, the surfboard does not move in the vehicle due to acceleration / deceleration of the vehicle.

  In addition, when loading in the car, it will be installed on the belt with the loading / unloading opening facing upward, so the surfboard can be put in and out with the belt passing through the belt loop, that is, with the surfboard case installed in the car. Is possible. Further, since the belt threader functions as a handle during transportation outside the vehicle, it is not necessary to provide a handle separately from the belt threader. In addition, by arranging the belt loops, the position to pass the belt can be selected when loading in the car, and the gripping position when gripping as a handle can be selected when transporting outside the car, so the body shape of the person who can load and hold on many car models Can handle a wide range of differences in handling and holding.

  Also, if the retractable opening is contracted by pulling the shrink string, not only the surfboard can be prevented from falling off, but also the slack when a surfboard smaller than the surfboard case is stored can be prevented. Furthermore, if the retracted retractable string is inserted into an expansion prevention ring provided in the vicinity of the access opening and then locked, the expansion of the access opening can be prevented, so that the surfboard can be removed more securely and the surfboard case can be prevented. Can be prevented.

  In particular, in the present invention, a belt loop is provided on the opposite side of the loading / unloading opening, and this belt loop becomes a regulating member that regulates movement when loaded in the vehicle, and becomes a handle when transported outside the vehicle, so that a force such as pulling is applied. . For this reason, if the loading / unloading opening freely expands / contracts, when a force is applied to the belt loop, the loading / unloading opening may be extended and the surfboard may fall off. For this reason, it is more effective to make the entrance / exit opening contract by the shrinkable string, or to prevent the entrance / exit opening from expanding by the expansion prevention ring, and to prevent the surfboard from falling off.

It is a top view of a surfboard case. It is explanatory drawing which shows the procedure which accommodates a surfboard in a surfboard case. It is explanatory drawing which shows the state which installed the surfboard case in the motor vehicle. It is explanatory drawing which shows the example which uses the belt for in-vehicle installation for conveyance outside a vehicle. It is explanatory drawing which shows another arrangement pattern of a belt loop.

  As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the surfboard case 10 of the present invention includes a deck surface cover 14 that covers the deck surface of the surfboard 12 (see FIG. 2) and a sliding surface that covers the sliding surface of the surfboard 12. The surface cover 16 is overlapped, and these outer peripheral portions are integrated by, for example, sewing. The surfboard 12 is accommodated between the deck surface cover 14 and the sliding surface cover 16. The length and width of the surfboard case can be freely set according to the type of surfboard to be stored, but in this example, the length is 180 cm and the width is 50 cm.

  In FIG. 1A, a belt loop 18 is provided on the outer surface of the deck surface cover 14. The belt loop 18 is a belt through which a belt 20 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) described later is passed, and a regulating member that regulates forward and backward movement when the surfboard case 10 is loaded on the automobile 22 (see FIG. 3). Function as. Further, the belt loop 18 is put on when holding the surfboard case 10 (that is, functions as a handle). In order to exhibit these two functions (functions as a moving member and a handle), the length of the belt loop 18 is preferably 10 cm to 20 cm. The width of the belt thread 18 is preferably 2 to 10 cm.

  In the surfboard case 10, eight belt loops 18 are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the surfboard 12 so that the position where the belt 20 is passed and the position where the belt 20 is held can be selected. Further, in order to increase the stability when being loaded in the vehicle or gripped as a handle, two rows of belt loops in which the belt loops 18 are arranged are provided at intervals in the width direction of the surfboard case 10 (belt A row of 18 throughs is provided on one side of the surfboard case 10 in the width direction and on the other side. The number of belt loops arranged in one row and the number of belt loops can be freely changed. Further, in this example, a belt-like string is arranged on the deck surface cover 14, and this string is sewn to the deck surface cover 14 at a predetermined pitch, so that one row of belt loops is integrally formed. A belt loop may be provided separately and attached to the deck surface cover 14 one by one.

  A lining 24 is provided on the inner surface of the deck surface cover 14 (the surface facing the deck surface of the surfboard 12). The lining 24 is formed of a material (fabric) that is difficult to adhere to the non-slip wax applied to the deck surface of the surfboard 12, such as polyester taffeta. Instead of providing the lining 24, the entire deck surface cover 14 may be formed of a material that is difficult to adhere to the anti-slip wax. Further, for example, Teflon (registered trademark) processing or antifouling coating may be applied to the inner surface of the deck surface cover 14 so that the anti-slip wax does not easily adhere.

  In FIG. 1 (B), the sliding surface cover 16 is formed from, for example, a stretchable material (cloth) such as knit, and a loading / unloading opening 26 for loading / unloading the surfboard 12 is provided at the center. The loading / unloading opening 26 is preferably large in order to facilitate loading / unloading of the surfboard 12. Specifically, the length is preferably 40% to 60% of the length of the surfboard case 10. As with the sliding surface cover 16, the deck surface cover 14 may be formed of a stretchable material.

  A string passage 28 is formed around the opening / closing opening 26 along the opening / closing opening 26, and a shrinkable string 30 is passed through the string passage 28. The stringer 28 has cuts 28 a and 28 b formed on the rear end side of the surfboard case 10. One end of the shrinkable string 30 is passed from the cut 28 a to the string through 28, and the other end of which the exposed end is exposed from the cut 28 b around the entrance / exit opening 26, and the exposed one end is left outside the string through 28. It is tied with. As described above, one end and the other end (hereinafter, simply referred to as an end portion 30 a) of the shrink string 30 are exposed from the string thread 28. Then, by pulling the end portion 30 a and pulling out the shrink string 30 from the string thread 28, the access opening 26 is contracted.

  In FIG. 1B, in which the region indicated by the circular index A is enlarged, two stoppers 32 and 34 are provided at the end 30a of the shrink string 30. The stopper 32 biases the outer cylinder 36 in which the through hole 36 a is formed, the inner cylinder 38 in which the through hole 38 a is formed and disposed inside the outer cylinder 36, and the inner cylinder 38 to be pushed out from the outer cylinder 36. A spring (not shown) is provided, and the contraction string 30 is passed through the overlapping region of the through holes 36a and 38a.

  The area where the through holes 36a and 38a overlap, that is, the size of the passage through which the contraction string 30 passes increases as the inner cylinder 38 is pushed into the outer cylinder 36, and decreases as the inner cylinder 38 is pushed out of the outer cylinder 36. Thereby, the shrink string 30 can move in the through holes 36a and 38a by pushing the inner cylinder 38 into the outer cylinder 36 against the bias of the spring (sliding the stopper 32 along the shrink string 30). On the other hand, when the push-in is released (unless force is applied), the contraction string 30 cannot move in the through holes 36a and 38a (the stopper 32 is fixed to the contraction string 30). Is used for preventing the contracted string 30 pulled out from the stringer 28 from being pulled back into the stringer 28 and holding the access opening 26 in a contracted state.

  The stopper 34 has the same configuration as the stopper 32, and the contraction string 30 can move in the through holes 36a and 38a only when the inner cylinder 38 is pushed into the outer cylinder 36 (the stopper 34 is moved along the contraction string 30). Slide). The stopper 34 is used in order to further shrink the loading / unloading opening 26 by bringing the rear end side and the leading end side of the loading / unloading opening 26 held in a contracted state by the stopper 32 closer to each other, as will be described in detail later.

  Returning to FIG. 1B, an expansion prevention ring 40 is provided in the vicinity of the access opening 26. The expansion preventing ring 40 is formed by forming a string in a ring shape, and a plurality of the expansion preventing rings 40 are provided around the access opening 26. The expansion preventing ring 40 is inserted with the end 30 a of the contracted string 30 drawn from the string thread 28. Although the number and position of the expansion preventing ring 40 can be freely changed, in this example, the expansion preventing ring 40 is provided symmetrically at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the entrance / exit opening 26, and other parts are provided. The expansion prevention rings 40 are alternately provided on the left and right.

  On the inner surface of the sliding surface cover 16 (the surface on the side facing the sliding surface of the surfboard 12), linings 42 and 44 and an accessory case 46 are provided. The linings 42 and 44 are made of, for example, polyester taffeta or the like. The lining 42 prevents the tip of the surfboard 12 from being caught by the sliding surface cover 16 when the surfboard 12 is stored in the surfboard case 10, and the lining 44 prevents the sliding surface cover 16 from the fins of the surfboard 12. Protect. The accessory case 46 has a storage port 46a that can be freely opened and closed with Velcro (registered trademark) or the like, and a bottom portion 46b opposite to the storage port is sewn to the sliding surface cover 16, and the bottom portion is folded around a fulcrum for storage. Small items (for example, non-slip wax, fins, etc.) can be accommodated by putting the mouth in and out through the opening 26.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the present invention with the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. When the surfboard 12 is stored in the surfboard case 10, first, as shown in FIG. 2A, the loading / unloading opening 26 is widened to store the front end portion of the surfboard 12. At this time, the entrance / exit opening 26 is provided at the center of the sliding surface cover 16, and the distance for pushing the tip of the surfboard 12 is short. The entrance / exit opening 26 is large and expands and contracts. For this reason, the surfboard 12 can be easily stored. Furthermore, since the friction between the surfboard 12 and the inner surface of the surfboard case 10 is reduced by the linings 24 and 42, the surfboard 12 can be stored smoothly.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2B, the rear portion of the surfboard 12 is accommodated in the surfboard case 10 while widening the loading / unloading opening 26. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 5C, after the end 30a of the contracting string 30 is pulled and pulled out from the string passage 28, the loading / unloading opening 26 is contracted, and then the contracting string 30 is connected to the string using the stopper 32. Lock in the state of being pulled out from the through 28.

  At this time, the loading / unloading opening 26 and the sliding surface cover 16 expand and contract, and the loading / unloading opening 26 is large, so that the surfboard 12 can be easily stored. Even a surfboard larger than the surfboard case 10 can be stored. Further, by retracting the loading / unloading opening 26, the surfboard case 10 is not loosened even if the surfboard 12 is smaller than the surfboard case 10. Further, the surfboard does not fall off from the loading / unloading opening 26. Further, the backing 24 can prevent the non-slip wax from adhering. Moreover, since the lining 44 is provided, damage to the surfboard case 10 can be prevented even if the surfboard case 10 is stored with the fins attached.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2 (D), the end 30a of the contracted string 30 pulled out from the stringer 28 is inserted into the expansion preventing ring 40 in order from the rear end side of the surfboard case 10, and the final expansion is performed. The stopper 34 is locked like a button on the prevention ring 40. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the opening / closing opening 26 from expanding, so that it is possible to more reliably prevent the surfboard case 10 from loosening and the surfboard 12 from falling off.

  Finally, as shown in FIG. 2 (E), the end 30a of the shrink string 30 is pulled out from the stopper 34, and is locked in a state where the access opening 26 is further contracted. By doing so, it is possible to further enhance the effect of preventing the opening / closing opening 26 from expanding, the effect of preventing the surfboard case 10 from sagging, and the effect of preventing the surfboard 12 from falling off.

  As described above, the surfboard case 10 in which the surfboard 12 is housed can be carried with the belt loop 18 formed on the deck surface cover 14. Further, as shown in FIG. 3 (A), it is possible to load the vehicle 22 by placing it on the belt 20 stretched over the ceiling of the vehicle 22 and passing the belt 20 through the belt loop 18. It is. The belt 20 is provided with hooks 20a for hooking on the assist grip 22a of the automobile 22 at both ends, a buckle (not shown) for adjusting the length, and an automobile so as to connect the left and right assist grips 22a. It is stretched over the ceiling of 22 cars. In the surfboard case 10, a plurality of belt loops 18 are provided side by side, and can be handled in various ways by changing the position of the belt through the vehicle, and can be loaded on various vehicle types by changing the position of the belt 20 when loaded inside the vehicle.

  Further, when the surfboard case is installed outside the automobile, for example, on the roof, it is necessary to fix the surfboard case so that the surfboard case is pressed against the roof in consideration of air resistance during traveling. On the other hand, since the surfboard case 10 can be installed in an automobile, it is not necessary to fix the surfboard case 10 to be pressed against the vehicle body (ceiling). That is, as shown in FIG. 3B, the surfboard case 10 can be loaded (installed) on the automobile 22 with a gap between the vehicle body (ceiling). As a result, as shown in FIG. 5C, the surfboard 12 can be taken out from the surfboard case 10 and stored (see FIG. 5B) while the surfboard case 10 is attached to the automobile 22. Of course, as shown in FIG. 4D, the belt 20 may be loosened and the surfboard 12 may be taken in and out. 3A and 3D show a state observed from below than FIGS. 3B and 3C.

  As shown in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B, a belt 20 (see FIG. 3) stretched inside the vehicle may be used during transportation outside the vehicle. In this example, after the belt 20 is wound around the outer side of the surfboard case 10 (two wraps in this example), hooks 20a provided at both ends of the belt 20 are engaged. In this example, when the belt 20 is wound, the belt 20 is passed through the belt loop 18 (see FIG. 4A), and the belt 20 is passed through the exposed portion of the shrink string 30 (see FIG. 4B). . By carrying out like this, the surfboard case 10 can be conveyed by hanging on the shoulder through an arm between the belt 20 and the surfboard case 10 or holding the belt 20 like a handle. Further, the belt 20 can be prevented from being displaced by passing the belt 20 through the belt loop or the exposed portion of the shrink string 30.

  Further, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and the detailed configuration can be changed as appropriate. For example, you may form the front-end | tip part and rear-end part of a surfboard case from the raw material different from another part. In this case, the front and rear ends of the surfboard case are made of elastic materials such as rubber and sponge to absorb impact during transportation, and the front and rear ends of the surfboard case are torn. It may be possible to improve the durability by forming from a material that is difficult or scratched. Of course, a material having shock absorption and a highly durable member may be used in combination.

  Further, an example in which the end (second stopper) of the shrinkage string is locked to the expansion prevention ring that has passed the shrinkage string last, that is, the engagement part in which the expansion prevention ring locks the end of the shrinkage string. However, the end portion of the shrink string may be locked to a place other than the spread prevention ring. In this case, a dedicated locking portion may be provided separately from the spread prevention ring such as an opening like a button hole or a ring-shaped string. In addition, a new cut is provided on the side opposite to the above-described cuts 28a and 28b (the front end side of the surfboard case), a part of the contracted string is exposed from the cut, and the end of the contracted string is locked to the exposed part. May be.

  In addition, although the example in which the shrinkable string is pulled out from the rear end side of the surfboard case and locked to the front end side of the surfboard case has been described, the shrinkable string is pulled out from the front end side of the surfboard case and locked to the rear end side of the surfboard case May be. Of course, the shrink string may be pulled out from one side of the surfboard case in the width direction and locked to the opposite side of the surfboard case in the width direction.

  Further, four rows of belt loops 18 may be provided as in the surfboard case 100 shown in FIG. Of course, the belt threader 18 may be three rows or less, or may be five rows or more. Further, like the surfboard case 110 shown in FIG. 5B, the belt loops 18 in each row may be provided alternately. In FIG. 5, members similar to those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.
