Description

The present invention relates to extension adapters for load tightening belts used in trucks and the like. In particular, it relates to an extension adapter for a load tightening belt used when the height of the load on the platform is lower than the height of the side flap, so that the low load cannot be sufficiently fastened from above with, for example, a lashing belt hung on the platform hook. In the following description, a "lashing belt" will be described as an example of a load fastening belt, but this "lashing belt" includes not only belts with flat cross-sections, but also fiber ropes with circular cross-sections, metal wire ropes, etc. and chains, etc., including all means of bundling.

Lashing with lashing belts is often used as a method of securing a load to a truck bed. A metal hook is attached to the end of most lashing belts. After hooking this metal hook to the hook on the bottom of the side of the cargo bed, pass over the cargo and hang it on the hook on the opposite side, then use the ratchet cargo tightening machine. Bind the cargo. However, if the height of the cargo loaded on the loading platform is lower than the side gate, the lashing belt only hangs over the top of the side gate, and the important cargo cannot be sufficiently tightened from above. In such a case, generally, as shown in FIG. 9, the lashing belt is passed through a so-called mouse hole (rope hole) attached to the side flap, and the metal hook of the lashing belt is hung on the cargo bed hook. In this way, the lashing belt rises from near the loading platform, so even a low cargo can be sufficiently tightened from above. Furthermore, even if the lashing belt is passed through a lashing ring embedded in the surface of the cargo bed as shown in FIG. However, not all tracks are pre-installed with such "mouse holes" (rope holes) or lashing rings. In such a case, it is necessary to install these separately as additional equipment.

The problem to be solved is that for trucks that do not have special equipment such as "rope holes" or lashing rings embedded in the bed surface, lashing that is lower than the side tilt is hung on the hook at the bottom of the side of the bed. The point is that it cannot be easily and sufficiently tightened from above with a belt.

The present invention is a first engaging portion that can be engaged with a truck bed hook and a lashing belt in order to easily and sufficiently fasten a load that is lower than the side tilt from above with a lashing belt hooked on the hook on the lower side of the bed. An extension adapter for a load tightening belt is disclosed having a second engaging portion engageable with a lashing belt hook and a bendable portion disposed between the first and second engaging portions. A magnet is added in the vicinity of the second engaging portion that can be engaged with the lashing belt hook. The extension adapter for this load tightening belt has a total length of about 30 to 40 cm and a thickness of 10 mm or less. As a method of use, when loading a load lower than the side tilt, first hang the first engaging part of the extension adapter for this cargo tightening belt downward through the gap between the truck bed and the side tilt, Hang on. In many trucks, a gap of about 10 to 20 mm is usually provided between the bed and the side flaps of the truck in order to allow dust and the like on the bed to escape. This extension adapter is therefore thinner than the gap and can be inserted into the gap without problems. After that, the lashing belt hook is engaged with the second engaging portion while bending the bendable portion. Further, as described above, since the extension adapter is thinner than the gap, the side flaps can be closed without interfering with each other. With this configuration, the inserted lashing belt rises from near the bed surface regardless of the height of the side flap, so even a load lower than the side flap can be sufficiently fastened. When the lashing belt is not used, the second engaging portion is held magnetically attached to the side flaps by a magnet attached near the second engaging portion. As a result, for example, a truck driver can remove the extension adapter for the load tightening belt according to the present invention, which is magnetically attached to the side gate, when necessary, without having to install a special adapter or the like, and lift the load lower than the side gate. It is possible to easily and securely fasten cargo.

A simple and inexpensive extension adapter for a load tightening belt according to the present invention when loading a load lower than the side tilt on a general truck that is not equipped with a conventional "rope hole" (rope hole) or lashing ring. , it is possible to securely lash the low-load cargo onto the platform.

The purpose of securely lashing cargo lower than the side flap onto the platform with a lashing belt was achieved with a minimum number of parts. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a load tightening belt extension adapter 1 using a band belt 10a according to the first embodiment. The band belt 10a is made of the same material as the lashing belt and is made of polyester, which is resistant to abrasion, water, and weather. The load tightening belt extension adapter 1 includes a first engaging portion 20 for hooking the belt belt 10a, which is a main body portion, to a truck bed hook, a second engaging portion 30 that can be engaged with the lashing belt hook, A freely bendable portion 40 is provided between the first engaging portion 20 and the second engaging portion 30 , and a magnet body 50 is provided in the vicinity of the second engaging portion 30 . The full length of the load tightening belt extension adapter 1 is such that the first engaging portion 20 is hooked to the truck bed hook and the second engaging portion 30 to be engaged with the lashing belt hook reaches the bed sufficiently, It has a width of about 30 cm, a width of about 5 cm, which is about the same as a general lashing belt, and a thickness of about several mm. As shown in FIG. 2, the clearance between the loading platform and the side flaps is generally at least 10 to 20 mm to allow small debris and the like accumulated on the loading platform to escape. Therefore, it is of course possible to insert the first engaging portion 20 of the cargo tightening belt extension adapter 1 according to the present invention into this gap and hang it on the cargo bed hook. Even when the side flaps are closed, the gap is maintained to a certain extent, so the side flaps can be closed without any problem. In addition, in a general lashing belt hook, the thickness of the hook mounting part is quite thick, so this hook cannot be directly inserted into this gap, and the thickness is relatively thin. There are advantages to using the load tightening belt extension adapter 1. The holes of the first engaging portion 20 and the second engaging portion 30 may have different sizes in accordance with the sizes of general cargo bed hooks and lashing belt hooks, respectively.

Furthermore, as a feature of the load fastening belt extension adapter 1 according to the present invention, the magnet body 50 is arranged in the vicinity of the second engaging portion 30 as shown in FIG. That is, when the load tightening belt extension adapter 1 is not used, the second engaging portion 30 can be magnetically held as it is on the side tilt, and the operator must bring the load tightening belt extension adapter 1 from a different storage location each time. no. That is, only when lashing a load lower than the side flap onto the bed with the lashing belt, the second engaging portion 30 can be removed from the side flap and hooked onto the hook of the lashing belt, which improves workability on the bed. It has very good advantages. Instead of the magnet 50, an elastic body such as a rubber rope, a spring, or the like may be attached to the second engaging portion 30, and the other end of the elastic body may be hung on the hook of the cargo bed over the upper end of the side flap. In short, it is sufficient that the first engaging portion is left hooked on the loading platform hook, and the second engaging portion is easily accommodated in a depression of the side flap or the like so as not to interfere with the load.

The load tightening belt extension adapter 1 according to the first embodiment is composed of the belt belt 10a made of polyester or the like described above, and the first engaging portion 20 and the second engaging portion 30 are respectively formed of the bed hook and the lashing belt. Eyelets having a diameter large enough to engage the hooks may be placed at both ends. Further, as another design, as shown in FIG. A vertical slit may be provided in the connector A made of metal with a hole, and the band belt 10a may be passed through the slit and overlapped in a ring shape and sewn together. Incidentally, since the height of the swinging side is naturally different depending on the truck, the length from the bed hook to the bed through the gap is different for each truck. Therefore, in order to freely adjust the total length of the load tightening belt extension adapter 1, instead of sewing the band belt 10a to the connector A as a fixed length as shown in FIG. A length adjusting function such as a buckle (not shown) may be added in the middle of the belt 10a so that the length of the band belt 10a can be adjusted. As a result, depending on the specifications of various trucks, the truck driver can freely set the length between the first engaging portion 20 according to the present invention hooked on the loading hook and the second engaging portion 30 hooked on the lashing belt hook. It is also possible to make it changeable on site. The details of the selection of buckles and the like are omitted because they are design matters.

FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram of a general truck using the load tightening belt extension adapter 1 according to the present invention to tie down a load that is lower than the side tilt. It is an enlarged conceptual diagram. As shown in FIG. 4, the load tightening belt extension adapter 1 according to the present invention is used by inserting it into the gap between the bed and the side flap of the truck. Therefore, since the load tightening belt extension adapter 1 rises from the vicinity of the bed, the engaged lashing belt is efficiently pulled downward regardless of the height of the side flap even if the load on the bed is lower than the side flap. The load is therefore sufficiently secured. On the other hand, in the conventional lashing belt that engages with the bed hook and passes over the upper part of the side flap, the side flap interferes, and the loaded cargo below the side flap cannot be sufficiently lashed. can't

FIG. 6 is a perspective view illustrating a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, instead of the band belt 10a shown in the first embodiment, a belt ring 10b is provided. That is, one end of the ring is a first engaging portion 20, the other end is a second engaging portion 30, and a freely bendable portion 40 is provided between the first engaging portion 20 and the second engaging portion 30. . A magnet body 50 is held by a small connecting ring on the band-like ring. The belt ring 10b is made of the same material as, for example, the lashing belt, and is approximately the same size as the band belt 10a according to the first embodiment. Therefore, one end of the ring in this embodiment is inserted into the gap between the loading platform and the side flap and hooked on the loading platform hook, as in the first embodiment. After hooking the other end to the hook of the lashing belt, if the lashing belt is tightened, the same function as in the first embodiment is performed. The other end, which is the second engaging portion, is magnetically held by a magnet 50 held by a small connecting ring, for example, on the side tilt.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view illustrating a third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a rope ring 10c is used instead of the band belt 10a shown in the first embodiment. In this embodiment, as in the second embodiment described above, one end of the gold rope ring 10c is the first engaging portion 20 and the other end is the second engaging portion 30. The first engaging portion 20 and the second engaging portion A freely bendable portion 40 is provided between the joining portions 30 . A magnet 50 is held by a small connecting ring on the rope ring 10c. Although the thickness of this rope ring 10c is thicker than the thickness of the band-shaped ring of the second embodiment, since there is a gap of at least about 10 mm between the bed and the side tilt, it can be inserted into this gap without any problem, and the side If a rope ring 10c having a diameter that does not interfere with the closing of the gate is selected and used, there is no practical problem.

Furthermore, FIG. 8 is a perspective view illustrating a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, instead of the band belt 10a shown in the first embodiment, a wire ring 10d made of metal is used. Since the wire thickness of the metal wire ring 10d used in this embodiment is 10 mm or less, it does not interfere with the gap between the bed frame and the side flap, and even if the wire ring 10d is inserted into the gap, the side flap is It does not interfere with the opening and closing of the

The load tightening belt extension adapter 1 according to the present invention can be used without comparatively expensive equipment such as so-called mouse holes (rope holes) and lashing rings when the height of the load on the loading platform is lower than the height of the side flap. , to stably lash the load. In addition, it is convenient to store because it can be magnetically held on a side tilt or the like, and it has the advantage that it can be manufactured at a low cost because it has a simple structure.
