DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a roll bar provided for protecting an occupant when the vehicle rolls over and falls down, and more particularly to a method of mounting the vehicle on a vehicle body (mounting structure).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional method of mounting a roll bar, particularly a roll bar in a pickup vehicle or the like, to a vehicle body (mounting structure) is shown in FIG.
0, a special mounting bracket 20
And the mounting bracket 2
The roll bar 10 is mounted on the roll bar 10 via a plate-shaped roll bar bracket 110 provided at the lower end of the roll bar 10 and further through fastening means such as bolts and nuts. Is what it is.

[0003]

In the above-described conventional apparatus, when mounting (attaching) the roll bar 10, a mounting bracket 20 or the like for attaching the roll bar 10 is newly mounted on the wheel house 30 or the like. There is a problem that must be provided. Further, there is a problem in that the space in which the mounting bracket 20 and the like are provided is not used at all and becomes a dead space. In order to solve such a problem, a box-shaped attachment is provided in place of the mounting bracket, and a roll-bar mounting device in which the roll bar is mounted (attached) on the box-shaped attachment will be provided. Is the object (problem) of the present invention.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following measures. That is, regarding a mounting device of a roll bar provided for the purpose of protecting an occupant when the vehicle rolls over, a roll bar having a roll bar bracket at a lower end portion of a roll bar main body and a base to which the roll bar bracket is mounted And a box-shaped attachment provided on the upper surface of the wheel house of the vehicle, and a storage portion formed so that the internal space of the box-shaped attachment can store small items and the like. And the box-shaped attachment further includes a wheel housing forming a vehicle body-side component.
Side panels and side panels
And the front part is joined to the separate panel
Further, a configuration is adopted in which the roll bar bracket is connected to the upper surface portion of such a box-shaped attachment by a predetermined fastening means.

[0005] By adopting such a configuration, the present invention has the following effects.
That is, there is no need to separately provide a special mounting bracket or the like for attaching the roll bar, and the installation of useless parts and the like are omitted. In addition, since the attachment which is also used as the storage box is installed at the place where the mounting bracket is installed, the portion which was conventionally dead space is effectively used. That is, since the portion provided with the roll bar mounting bracket and the like is used as a storage box for small items and the like, the storage box can be used as a tool box and the like. Further, by storing the small articles in the storage box, it is possible to prevent the small articles from being scattered in the cargo bed (luggage compartment). In addition, it is possible to prevent damage to the body side panel (side panel) and the like which may be caused by scattering of these small items.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1, the configuration of the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, is a roll bar 1 and a base on which the roll bar 1 is mounted, and has a box-shaped attachment (box-shaped attachment). Attachment) 2 and a base on which the box-shaped attachment 2 is mounted, which is basically composed of a member on the vehicle body side (body side) including the wheel house 3 and the side panel 4 and the like. is there.

In such a basic configuration, the roll bar 1 is provided with a roll bar body 15 formed in an arch shape.
And a roll bar bracket 11 that is provided at both lower ends of the roll bar body 15 by welding means or the like, and is provided for attachment to the box-shaped attachment 2. In the present roll bar 1 having such a configuration, in the present embodiment, the roll bar bracket 11 has a plate-like shape, and such a plate-like roll bar bracket is employed. Reference numeral 11 is attached (fixed) to the upper surface of the box-shaped attachment 2 by fastening means such as bolts and nuts.
It is something like that.

[0008] Such a roll bar 1 is attached.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the box-shaped attachment 2 serving as a base is provided with a predetermined storage space (storage portion) 25.
A box portion 21 provided therein and the box portion 2
The storage space 25 is provided on a side surface of the storage space 25.
A lid (lid) 22 that is used for the entry and exit of small items into the inside,
It is basically composed of In such a basic configuration, the upper part of the main box part 21 has
A flat mounting portion 211 to which the roll bar bracket 11 of the roll bar 1 is mounted is formed. Further, the mounting portion (upper surface portion) 2
At 11, a welding nut or the like forming a part of a fastening means provided for mounting (fixing) the roll bar bracket 11 is provided. The box-shaped attachment 2 having such a configuration is basically joined to a wheel house 3 forming a vehicle body-side constituent member by fastening means such as bolts and nuts, and a side portion thereof. Is joined (attached) to the side panel 4 and to the separate panel 5 at the front by joining means such as welding means. Then, the roll bar 1 as shown in FIG. 3 is formed by bonding (fixing) the roll bar 1 to the box-shaped attachment 2 having such a configuration by a predetermined fastening means. Is what it is.

Next, the operation and the like of the embodiment having the above-described configuration will be described. That is, according to the present embodiment, there is no need to provide a special mounting bracket or the like used only for attaching the roll bar 1, and simplification in component configuration can be achieved. In addition, since the box-shaped attachment 2 which is also used as a storage box is provided at a place where the mounting bracket is installed,
Conventionally, a portion that has been regarded as a dead space is effectively utilized. In other words, the place where the roll bar mounting bracket or the like is provided is used as a storage box (storage space 25) for storing small items, so that the storage space 25 can be used as a tool box or the like. Become like Furthermore, by storing small items and the like in the storage space 25, scattering of small items and the like in the cargo room can be prevented. Further, it is possible to prevent damage to the body side panel (side panel 4) and the like which may be caused by scattering of these small items.

In this embodiment, a roll bar 1 requiring high strength and rigidity is attached via a box-like attachment 2 having high strength and rigidity as shown in FIG. Since the box-shaped attachment 2 itself having high strength and rigidity is attached (coupled) to a structural member including the wheel house 3 and the side panel 4, the overall attachment strength and rigidity are improved. Will be achieved.

[0011]

According to the present invention, a roll bar provided for the purpose of protecting an occupant when the vehicle rolls over and falls is provided with a roll bar having a roll bar bracket at the lower end of the roll bar body. A box-shaped attachment which is a base on which the roll bar bracket is mounted and which is provided on the upper surface of the wheel house of the vehicle, and stores the internal space of the box-shaped attachment for small articles and the like. And a roll bar bracket is connected to the upper surface of the box-shaped attachment by a predetermined fastening means. So
It is not necessary to separately provide a special mounting bracket or the like for mounting the roll bar, and the configuration of parts can be simplified.

[0012] Further, since the portion which was conventionally a dead space is now used as a storage space for storing small items, the storage space can be used as a tool box or the like. . Furthermore,
By storing the small articles in the storage space, scattering of the small articles in the luggage compartment can be prevented. In addition, it is possible to prevent the body side panel (side panel) from being damaged due to the scattering of the small items and the like.

[0013] Also, the part to which the roll bar is attached
Since it has a box-shaped attachment and a closed cross-sectional structure formed by a wheel house, side panels, etc., it is possible to improve the strength and rigidity while reducing the overall weight. Was.
