Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a roof carrier used for loading luggage on the roof of an automobile, and more particularly to a roof carrier which enables easy maintenance of the roof.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventional roof carriers include a frame that is attached to the roof of the vehicle and a panel that is fixed to this frame, most of which have a mesh or sludge shape to prevent lift from occurring during driving. Is formed in.

This frame has a ladder-shaped base frame, mounting legs for fixing the base frame to the side edge of the roof of an automobile, and the same shape as the above-mentioned base frame. It has a cargo stop frame arranged above the frame.

The mesh-shaped panel is fixed to the upper surface of the base frame by welding, and the sludge-shaped panel is mounted on the base frame and fixed by, for example, flat plate bolts. The distance between the roof carrier frame and panels attached to the roof of the car and the roof of the car is several centimeters to ten and several centimeters.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 For vehicles equipped with this roof carrier, when cleaning, cleaning, or waxing the roof of the vehicle, do not put your hands in the narrow space between the vehicle roof and the base frame. It is very difficult to do the work, and in some cases the roof cannot be maintained.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a roof carrier in which the roof can be easily maintained.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the roof carrier according to the present invention is characterized in that the panel 3 is detachably fixed to the frame 1 by an eye bolt 2 or a wing bolt.

In the present invention, the panel 3 can be removed from the frame 1 by manually screwing the eyebolt 2 or the butterfly bolt without using a tool, and by removing the panel 3, the roof of the automobile can be removed. The large opening makes it easy to maintain the roof.

Further, since the panel 3 can be fixed to the frame 1 by placing the panel 3 on the frame 1 and manually screwing the eye bolt 2 or the wing bolt, the frame 1 is divided into the mesh panel 3 and the sawtooth panel. It is possible to reduce the cost by making it common, and the user can easily replace the mesh panel 3 and the slatted panel depending on the application.

In the present invention, particularly when the eyebolt 2 is used, it is advantageous because the eye of the eyebolt 2 can be used as a rope hook or a net hook.

[0011]

[Embodiment of device]

 A roof carrier according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 1, a roof carrier according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a frame 1 attached to a roof of an automobile and a frame 1 which is detachably attached to the frame 1 by eyebolts 2. And a mesh-shaped panel 3 to be fixed.

The frame 1 is made of, for example, an aluminum extruded member, and is made of a ladder-shaped base frame 4 mounted horizontally on the roof of an automobile and an aluminum die-cast member, for example. An attachment leg 5 fixed to a side edge portion of the roof of the vehicle is provided with a loading frame 7 which is fixed above the base frame 4 through a column 6 and made of, for example, an aluminum extruded member.

The columns 6 located on both sides of the vehicle body are integrally cast with the mounting legs 5. Further, although only the peripheral frame of the base frame 4 is shown in FIG. 1, a reinforcing frame for connecting the left and right frames of the peripheral frame to each other so that the upper surface thereof is flush is shown in the peripheral frame. They are provided at appropriate intervals in the front-rear direction.

As shown in the sectional view of FIG. 2, screw holes 8 are formed on the upper surface of the frame 1 at appropriate intervals in the axial direction, and the peripheral edge of the panel 3 is the upper edge of the frame 1. Can be posted on.

The panel 3 is formed with a bolt insertion hole (here, a mesh hole) 9 corresponding to the screw hole 8 of the frame 1. The eyebolt 2 is passed through a washer 10 as necessary. Is inserted into the bolt insertion hole 9 of the panel 3 mounted on the frame 1, and further screwed into the screw hole 8 of the frame 1. As a result, the panel 3 is fixed to the frame 1.

The eye 11 of the eyebolt 2 projects above the upper surface of the panel 3, but the load mounted on the panel 3 is received inside the eyebolt 2 by the cargo stop frame 7. There is no danger of the luggage being damaged by 11.

Further, the eyebolt 2 is used as a rope hook for passing a rope through the eye 11, or as a net hook for hooking a hook of a load holding net, for fixing a load mounted on the panel 3. Used for.

When washing a car or the like, the panel 3 can be easily removed from the frame 1 by turning the eyebolt 2 by hand to loosen it. Then, by removing the panel 3 from the frame 1, the roof is opened, and the roof can be easily cleaned by brushing dust on the roof, washing the roof with water, wiping cleansing water, and waxing.

After the maintenance of the roof, the panel 3 can be easily fixed to the frame 1 by placing the panel 3 on the frame 1 and turning the eyebolt 2 by hand to screw it. The panel 3 may be of any type conventionally used such as a mesh-shaped one or a saw-shaped one, or may be a different type such as a punching plate.

Of course, if the user prepares a plurality of arbitrary types among these, it is possible to easily replace the panel 3 with an appropriate type according to the application. Further, since the frame 1 can be commonly used for various types of panels 3, it is possible to reduce the cost by sharing the frame 1.

When the frame 1 is made of an aluminum alloy and the panel 3 is made of iron, or when the frame 1 is made of iron and the panel 3 is made of an aluminum alloy, for example, between these, It is preferable to prevent electrical corrosion due to direct contact between the frame 1 and the panel 3 by interposing an insulating material such as a washer or rubber made of brass, copper, or stainless steel that is non-corrosive.

In another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 3, the space between the base frame 4 and the cargo holding frame 7 is narrower than that in the previous example, and the base frame 4 is placed in the peripheral frame 4 a in the front-back direction. The eyebolts 2 are provided on the left and right ends of the front and rear reinforcing frames 4b of the three reinforcing frames 4b that are arranged at appropriate intervals and connect the left and right frames of the peripheral frame 4a to each other. It is designed to be screwed.

Other configurations, operations and effects of this embodiment are the same as those of the previous example, and therefore their description is omitted to avoid duplication. In another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 4, the base frame 4 is composed of a circular pipe, the long nut 12 is inserted into the base frame 4 from the upper side, and the long nut 12 is fixed from the lower side. The bolt 13 is inserted. The long nut 12 is fixed to the base frame 4 by screwing on the bolt 13, and the eyebolt 2 is screwed into the screw hole 8 formed in the long nut 12 from the upper surface.

Other configurations, operations and effects of this embodiment are the same as those of each of the above-mentioned embodiments, and therefore description thereof will be omitted to avoid duplication. In each of the above embodiments, the panel 3 is fixed to the frame 1 by the eyebolts 2, but a butterfly bolt may be used in place of the eyebolts 2 to fix a rope mounted on the panel 3. The same action or effect can be obtained, except that it cannot be used to connect to the Internet. Further, instead of the net-like panel 3, a saw-like panel may be used.

[0026]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the roof carrier of the present invention, the panel is detachably fixed to the frame by the eyebolt or the wing bolt, so that the eyebolt or the wing bolt can be manually turned without using any tool. The panel can be attached and detached to and from the frame, and by removing the panel from the frame, the effect that the roof can be easily maintained is obtained.

Further, the cost can be reduced by making the frame common to a plurality of types of different types of panels, and an effect that the user can easily replace a plurality of types of different types of panels is obtained. .

Further, in the present invention, particularly when the eyebolt is used, there is an effect that the eyebolt can be used as a rope hook or a net hook for fixing a load mounted on the panel.
