[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, tow ropes were usually wire ropes or manila ropes.However, since there is almost no contraction force, the distance between the towed vehicle and the towed vehicle is reduced or increased during towing the accident vehicle. They are often loosened and pulled. There are various problems such as loosening of the rope, which causes the rope to come into contact with the ground and be rubbed, the hook of the rope coming off the vehicle, and the rope being entangled in the front wheel of the towed vehicle in a sharp curve. Was. On the other hand, Japanese traffic law requires that a white flag be hung on a rope during towing work.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a retractable towing rope that does not slack during towing work.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a towing rope product set including the towing rope and a white flag which can be easily attached to the towing rope.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a tow rope according to the present invention has a core body made of an elastic material inserted through a bellows-shaped tube body, and is connected to both ends of the tube body and both ends of the core body. And a hook attached to both ends of the rope main body.

The tow rope product set according to the present invention is characterized in that the tow rope and a white flag to be attached when the tow rope is used are stored in a package.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, the tow rope and tow rope product set of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing one embodiment of the tow rope of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a tow rope L according to the present invention has an elongated rubber core 11 inserted into a nylon tube 10 and has both ends opened at both ends of the tube 10 and both ends of the rubber core 11. It comprises a connected rope main body 1 and hooks 2 and 2 attached to both ends of the rope main body 1, respectively.

When the tube body 10 is completely extended, the tube body 10 is longer than the rubber core body 11, so that when the rubber core body 11 is not pulled, the tube body 10 has a bellows shape (see FIG. 1A). When the vehicle is towed using the rope L, the rope body 1 is always substantially straight and does not slack, regardless of how the distance between the tow vehicle and the tow vehicle changes. During the towing operation, when the tube body 10 is fully extended (see FIG. 1C), a part of the tension is borne, so that the rubber core body 11 can be prevented from being overloaded.

FIG. 2 or FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a white flag constituting a rope product set together with the towing rope L. Further, according to FIG. 2, the white flag is an annular white band 4 (for example, made of annular vinyl). In use, the rope body 1 is inserted into the white belt 4 and attached.

Referring to FIG. 3, a white flag is a white sheet 3 that is detachably attached to the rope body 1. As shown in FIG. 2 (b), the seat 3 has buttons 31 at one end and button receivers 32 at an interval substantially equal to the circumference of the rope body 1 from the buttons 31. The white sheet 3 is attached to the rope body 1.

[0012] The tow rope L and the white sheet 3 or white band 4 used as a white flag are stored in a package to form the rope product set of the present invention. Such a product set is very convenient for the user because there is no need to prepare a white flag in advance during the towing operation. A bag or the like is used as the package, for example, an envelope-shaped bag 5 as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4, the bag 5 is provided with a lid 51 at an opening 50 at one end and a lid 51 for closing the opening 50. Buttons 52, 52 are provided on the end of the lid 51, and button receivers 53, 53 are provided on the surface of the bag 5 below the opening 50. Further, mounting holes 54 for mounting the present rope product set to a product display tool or the like may be provided at the upper end of the lid 5. The bag 5 is made using a vinyl material.

[0014]

[Effect of the invention]

 The tow rope according to the present invention has a core body made of an elastic material inserted through a bellows-shaped tube body, and a rope body connected to both ends of the tube body and both ends of the core body, and the rope body, respectively. With the hooks attached to both ends of the main body, the rope itself is always substantially straight and can be slackened when the vehicle is towed, no matter how the distance between the towed vehicle and the towed vehicle changes. Instead, the rope body comes into contact with the ground and is rubbed, and there are no problems such as hooks detaching from the vehicle and the rope getting caught in the front wheel of the towed vehicle in a sharp curve. The tow rope product set according to the present invention has a structure in which a tow rope and a white flag to be attached when using the tow rope are stored in a package, so there is no need to prepare a white flag in advance during towing work, and illegal work is performed. There is no fear of forcing.
