  The present invention relates to a bracket with a stopper for storing a wheel stopper, and more particularly, can be attached to a vehicle such as a truck, and the wheel stopper can be easily taken in and out. It relates to brackets with stoppers.

  For example, with the increase in convenience stores and the rapid increase in personal parcels due to Internet shopping, logistics needs in Japan are increasing year by year, and the importance of the transportation business using trucks and other vehicles is increasing.

  Many transport operators often employ manual mission (MT) vehicles for these vehicles, and loading and unloading is usually done by applying side brakes in the neutral state and locking the tires. However, it has been pointed out that accidents such as the movement of the vehicle occur when the side brake is poorly applied and the road surface is inclined. Even when a forklift is used when loading and unloading luggage, it may cause an impact on the vehicle itself when the forklift lifts or lowers the luggage and when it is taken in and out of the vehicle. It is also known that there is a risk of doing.

  Regardless of whether the driver is loading or unloading a baggage, the transportation company places a ring stopper called a “wheel stopper” before and after a predetermined tire (for example, the front wheel tire on the passenger side) when leaving the vehicle, Measures are taken to prevent the above-mentioned vehicle self-propelled accidents.

  On the other hand, drivers are required to move in many collection and delivery areas within a limited time, and it is necessary to load and unload luggage at a single point in the shortest possible time. For this reason, it is important that the wheel retaining of the vehicle using the “wheel retaining” is also performed safely and in a short time. In this regard, for example, in some drivers, a predetermined bracket is fixed outside the vehicle, and a wheel stopper is stored in the bracket, and the wheel stopper by the wheel stopper when loading and unloading luggage is performed in as short a time as possible. Has been done. In this case, it is desired to enable smooth storage and removal of the wheel stopper from the vehicle.

  An object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bracket for storing a wheel stopper that is easy to store and remove the wheel stopper and has a relatively simple structure. Is to provide.

  As shown in FIG. 1A, the bracket 100 of the present invention includes a frame body 102, a lever 104, and an elastic body 106.

  The frame body 102 includes a frame body front portion 110 that can be engaged with a stored wheel stopper, and frame body side portions 114 and 116 that are provided at both ends of the frame body front portion 110 in the same direction. . In FIG. 1, the frame body 102 is formed of a single thin flat plate, and the frame body side portions 114 and 116 are bent at a substantially right angle with respect to the frame body front portion 110. Further, in FIG. 1A, the frame body end portions 118 and 119 of the frame body side portions 114 and 116 are substantially perpendicular to the outside of the frame body 102 so as to be substantially parallel to the frame body front portion 110, respectively. It is bent. In addition, bulged portions 115 and 117 that bulge outward are provided in a part of each of the frame body side portions 114 and 116. Further, as shown in FIG. 1B, screw holes 120 and 122 for fixing the frame body 102 to the vehicle are provided in the frame body end portions 118 and 119, respectively. In FIG. 1B, the number of screw holes 120 and 122 provided in each of the frame body end portions 118 and 119 is one, but the present invention is not limited to this. A plurality of screw holes may be provided in each of the frame end portions 118 and 119.

  Swivel shafts 112 and 113 projecting in a substantially vertical direction from the outer surfaces of the frame body side portions 114 and 116 are respectively provided on part of the frame body side portions 114 and 116. The pivot shafts 112 and 113 have, for example, a cylindrical shape.

  1 (a) and 1 (b), the frame body front portion 110 and the frame body side portions 114 and 116 constituting the frame body 102 are shown as being integrally described. The form is not limited. For example, the frame body front portion 110 and the frame body side portions 114 and 116 may be individually manufactured, and one frame body 102 may be configured using a known technique such as adhesion or welding.

  The lever 104 is configured, for example, by bending a long and thin flat plate, and both ends thereof are attached to the frame body 102 via pivot shafts 112 and 113 provided on the frame body 102.

  The lever 104 includes a lever central portion 124 and lever side portions 126 and 128 provided at both ends of the lever central portion 124 so as to be oriented in the same direction. The lever central portion 124 may be provided with a grip portion 129 configured to be bent to the size of a fist, for example, so that the user can easily hold it. In FIG. 1B, the lever side portions 126 and 128 are bent at substantially right angles to the lever central portion 124, and correspond to the end portions 130 and 132 of the lever side portions 126 and 128 (the end portions of the lever 104). ), The pivot shafts 112 and 113 projecting from the frame side portions 114 and 116 of the frame 102 pass through.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, in the bracket 100 of the present invention, the end portion 130 of the lever 104 is provided with a hole 134 through which the turning shaft 112 of the frame body 102 passes. The hole 134 is an elongated hole extending substantially in parallel with the longitudinal direction, and the pivot shaft 112 can slide inside the hole 134. In the present invention, the elongated hole 134 is provided at either one end or one end of the lever 104.

  The bracket 100 of the present invention is provided with a stopper 136 on the frame body 102 (on the frame body side portion 114) on the side where the elongated hole 134 of the lever 104 is provided. For example, as shown in FIG. 2A, the stopper 136 is provided below the pivot shaft 112 of the frame body 102 and protruding from the frame body 102 (frame body side portion 114).

Here, when the turning shaft 112 provided in the frame body 102 is positioned below the elongated hole 134 in the lever 104, the end portion 130 of the lever 104 rotates around the turning shaft 112 as shown by a solid line in FIG. Can be moved in any direction. As a result, the lever 104 has a wide angle θ such as 0 ° to 160 °, for example, based on the axial direction A ₁ of the frame body side portion 114 (corresponding to the mounting direction of the bracket of the present invention to the vehicle). It is freely rotatable (see, for example, FIG. 2 (a)).

On the other hand, when the pivot shaft 112 provided in the frame 102 is slid so as to be positioned above the elongated hole 134 in the lever 104, the end portion 130 of the lever 104 is indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. In addition, the stopper 136 can be engaged. In a preferred embodiment, a slope 138 that is inclined with respect to the axial direction A ₁ of the frame body side portion 114 is provided on a part of the stopper 136 (a portion that contacts the end portion 130 of the lever 104). When the inclined surface 138 comes into contact with the end portion 130 of the lever 104, the lever 104 can be engaged with the stopper 136. In a state where the lever 104 is engaged with the stopper 136, the rotation of the lever 104 around the turning shaft 112 is blocked by the stopper 136. As a result, the lever 104 is fixed to the frame 102 at a predetermined position (that is, a position where the lever 104 provided on the frame 102 is opened) (see, for example, FIG. 2B). about).

  In the present invention, examples of the material constituting the frame 102 and the lever 104 include steels such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and cast iron; non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, titanium, and copper; heat such as phenol resin and epoxy resin. Curable resins; and combinations thereof.

Referring to FIG. 2A again, the elastic body 106 is disposed so as to connect the frame body 102 and the lever 104, and the lever 104 centering on the turning shaft 112 is utilized by using the elastic force. Control the movement in the direction of rotation. For example, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), in the state where the end portion 130 of the frame 102 (the frame side portion 114) is not engaged with the stopper 136, moves in the direction of _{D 1} by grasping the lever 104 even, the lever 104 by the elastic force of the elastic member 106 forces of returning naturally in the direction of D ₂ acts. In this case, the lever 104 can be engaged with the wheel stopper so that the lever 104 pushes the wheel stopper accommodated in the frame body 102 as described later.

When the wheel stopper is not housed in the frame body 102, even if the lever 104 returns to the direction D _{2 due to} the elastic force of the elastic body 106, the operation of the lever 104 is part of the frame body side portion 114. In this case, the bulging portion 115 bulges outward and the range up to buffering. This allows the lever 104 to overcome the trouble that it is possible to prevent the overshoot in the direction of D _2, there lever 104 far more the lever 104 when pulling in the direction of D _1.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2B, the lever 104 is fixed by the stopper 136 when the end portion 130 of the lever 104 (frame body side portion 114) is engaged with the stopper 136. For this reason, the elastic body 106 is stationary in a stretched state, and the user can take out the wheel stopper stored in the frame body 102 in a state in which the hand is released from the lever 104.

  In the present invention, the connection between the frame body 102 and the lever 104 is not limited to the elastic body 106 but any elastic body can be adopted. Examples of such an elastic body include a spring, a rubber member (for example, a rubber string, a rubber plate, a rubber tube, and the like), and combinations thereof.

  The bracket of the present invention has a predetermined screw stopper in the screw holes 120 and 122 shown in FIG. 1 (b) at any place outside or inside various vehicles where it is necessary to bring and use a wheel stopper. Fixed by doing. Examples of the attachable vehicle include a truck (truck), a mobile crane vehicle, and an emergency vehicle. Examples of trucks include light trucks, regular trucks, small trucks, flat-body cars, refrigerated cars, refrigerated cars, refrigerated cars, ventilated cars, covered cars, covered cars, unic cars, in-vehicle cars, tank trucks, bulk cars, Examples include dump trucks, mixer trucks, trailers, and light vans. Examples of the crane truck include a rough terrain crane truck, a trek crane truck, an all-terrain crane truck, and a tow truck crane truck. Examples of emergency vehicles include fire trucks (eg, ladder cars, water trucks, pump cars, chemical fire trucks), and emergency vehicles.

  FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram for explaining an example when the bracket 100 of the present invention is attached to the outside of the vehicle 200. The bracket 100 of the present invention is attached in the vicinity of the wheel 210 of the vehicle 200 that needs to be fastened by, for example, a wheel stopper 300, 300 '.

  Next, an example of a procedure for taking out the wheel stopper from the bracket of the present invention attached to the outside of the vehicle will be described with reference to FIG.
