[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, replaced tires such as snow tires, spike tires and spare tires of automobiles and the like are stored in warehouses,
It is common practice to store in a corner in a corner of a storeroom or a garage. However, when the parking space is limited to one vehicle, such as an apartment or an apartment, there is a problem in how to store the replaced tires. Further, in the case of not only ordinary passenger cars but also buses and large trucks owned by bus companies and transportation companies, there is a problem in securing a storage place for large tires that have been replaced.

[0003] Thus, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 10-82194, a tire storage box for storing tires through an opening in the upper surface of a storage box buried underground or under the floor is disclosed. When storing the replaced tires in such a tire storage, both when stored horizontally and when stored in a standing posture, by opening the top opening with a lid, Effective use of parking space is achieved.

[0004]

However, in the case of the tire storage as described in the above-mentioned conventional publication, it is possible to store the tire storage in the storage not only when the tire is stored horizontally but also when the tire is stored in a standing posture. In order to take out a tire that has become tired, an unreasonable posture such as bending down the waist and a large amount of labor are required. In particular, tires with wheels, large and special tires such as buses and trucks, and heavy tires require extremely large labor to take out.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a tire storage structure in a storage box buried underground or under the floor, in which the tire can be easily stored and removed regardless of the size of the tire.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a tire storage structure according to the first aspect of the present invention has an opening in the ground surface or floor surface and is buried underground or under the floor. A storage box, a fixing member fixed to one side wall of the storage box, a rotation shaft rotatably attached to the fixing member, and a base end pivotally supported by the rotation shaft to rotate and operate the tire. A tire holder for holding the posture as it is, and lifting means for raising and rotating the tire holder are provided, and the base end of the tire holder is provided with an opening of the storage box when the tire holder rotates upward about the rotation axis. It is characterized by being located in a substantially horizontal state.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, when storing the tire, when the tire holder is raised and rotated about the rotation axis by the lifting means, the base end of the tire holder becomes the opening of the storage box. Since the tire is positioned almost horizontally, the replaced tire can be placed on the tire holder while standing while rolling. When a load is applied to the tire holder and the tire by placing the tire in this way, the tire holder can be rotated down around the rotation axis in the storage box, and the tire should be stored in the ground or under the floor in a standing posture Can be. On the other hand, when the tire is taken out for replacement, the tire holder is lifted around the rotation axis by lifting the lifting means by hand or the like, so that the base end of the tire holder is in contact with the opening of the storage box. Since the tire is placed in a substantially horizontal state, the tire placed on the tire holder can be rolled out and taken out while standing on the ground or floor.

When the tire holder is put on the tire holder, the tire holder is prevented from rotating down due to its own weight or the weight of the tire. Then, after the tire is put on the tire holder, when the support posture of the support member is released, the tire holder comes into a state of rotating downward due to its own weight or the weight of the tire. By applying a load to the tire holder and the mounted tire, the tire holder can be rotated down.

In the tire storage structure according to a third aspect of the present invention, based on the first aspect, the lifting means is a torsion coil spring that urges the tire holder in a direction to raise and rotate the tire holder. It is characterized by being wound around the outer periphery of the shaft so that the winding strength can be adjusted.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, when the tire stored in the storage box is taken out, the urging force of the torsion coil spring acts in the direction to raise and rotate the tire holder, so that the storage box is removed. The tire holder is automatically raised and rotated so as to protrude outward from the upper opening. Further, since the winding strength of the torsion coil spring can be adjusted around the outer periphery of the rotating shaft, it is possible to adjust the urging force for raising and rotating the tire holder in accordance with the weight of the tire.

The tire storage structure according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is based on the premise of the third aspect, and the rotating operation of the tire holder between the fixing member and the tire holder against the torsion coil spring. And a lock member for stopping and releasing the lock is provided.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the tire holder can be rotated upward by releasing the lock state of the lock member. On the other hand, when the tire is stored in the storage box, the urging means is used. When the lock member is locked by applying a load to the tire holder and the tire and rotating the tire holder downward against the urging force of the tire holder, the tire holder can be stopped at the bottom of the storage box.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a tire storage structure according to the first aspect, wherein the tire holder has a swing regulating member for regulating the swing of a tire placed in a standing posture. It is characterized by being detachably attached.

In the tire storage structure according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, since the swing regulating member is detachably attached to the tire holder, various tires having different sizes and widths can be adjusted according to the size and the like. The swing regulating member can be replaced and attached. Then, by holding the tire between the swing regulating members by utilizing the elasticity of the tire surface, it is possible to prevent the tire in the standing posture mounted on the tire holder from swinging.

The lid 20 that slides upward and opens and closes is disposed so as to be able to collide with the tire T of the vehicle, so that the stop position of the vehicle in the parking lot can be confirmed.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the tire holder 5 includes a pair of left and right side plates 5a, a connecting member 6 for connecting the left and right side plates 5a, a reinforcing plate 7, and the like.
The tire holder 5 holds the tire T in a standing posture. The tire holder 5 holds the tire T from the side between the left and right side plates 5a, and the outer periphery of the tire T by the swing regulation member 8 and the connecting member 6. Is held in place. Left and right side plates 5a
Is composed of a base end 5A on which the bottom of the tire T is mounted, and a front end 5B bent at the front end of the base end. When the base is located at the bottom of the storage box 1, it has an L-shape. In a state where it is rotated upward around the center 3, it has an inverted L-shape and projects outward from the opening. That is, the tire holder 5
The rotation shaft 3 is attached to the base end portion 5A via the reinforcing plate 7. When the tire holder 5 is rotated upward about the rotation shaft 3, the base end portion 5A is connected to the opening of the storage box 1. It is almost horizontal with the ground and floor so as to cover the surface. In FIG. 1, three types of tires T having different sizes are indicated by a solid line and a two-dot chain line.

At the tip of each tire holder 5, a lifting means 9 is attached. This lifting means 9
Is a rope tied to a hole 5c formed on the tip side of the tire holder 5, and when the pulling means 9 is pulled up, the tire holder 5 can be rotated upward. The lifting means 9 may be a string-shaped member or a chain-shaped member. The other end of the lifting means 9 is hooked on a hook 1e attached to the rear wall 1b of the storage box 1. As the lifting means 9 of the present embodiment, a loop-shaped handle is provided so as to connect the base end 5A of the tire holder 5 and the tip end of the tip end 5B in an arc shape, and the loop-shaped handle is used for the tire holder. 5 may be raised.

The left and right side plates 5a of the tire holder 5 include:
As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG.
, The swing regulating member 8 is laid horizontally. The connecting member 6
The left and right side plates 5a are connected to each other, and are disposed at three places, that is, the center and both ends of the tire holder 5. Swing regulating member 8
Is a tire T mounted on the tire holder 5 in a standing posture.
This is a pipe-shaped member that regulates the swing of the pipe, and is fitted into a plurality of connection holes 5b formed at intervals on the left and right side plates 5a. A total of four rocking restricting members 8 of the present embodiment are formed, two at each of the base end 5A and the distal end 5B of the tire holder 5, and the rocking restricting member 8 is formed with respect to the connection hole 5b. Is detachably mounted horizontally. Then, the tire T is held between the two swing regulating members 8 by utilizing the elasticity of the surface of the tire T.

Here, the reason why the two connecting holes 5b are formed two by two in total is to hold the three types of tires T described above. However, when holding the largest tire T, the tire T is held between the connecting member 6 connected to the base end 5A of the tire holder 5 and the connecting member 6 connected to the front end 5B. Both the connecting member 6 and the swing regulating member 8 may be provided in a greater number or less. When there are many types of tires T to be mounted on the tire holder 5, for example, the tires T can be held between the connecting member 6 and the swing regulating member 8. Further, the swing regulating member 8A may be attached between the left and right side plates 5a, 5a via the connection hole 5b using the screw member N. Further, the connecting member 6 and the swing regulating members 8 and 8A may be formed in an arc shape according to the surface shape of the tire T. The tire holder 5 of the present embodiment is a pair of two tires, but may be a tire holder 5 on which four tires T are mounted two by two, or one tire holder on which four tires T are mounted simultaneously. The setting of 5 or the like is optional depending on the implementation.

A support member 4 is provided between the fixing member 2 and the tire holder 5. The support member 4 of the present embodiment is constituted by a kind of link mechanism having two shafts. The support member 4 serving as the link mechanism includes a first member 4a and a second member 4b having a rod shape, and a first shaft 4 serving as a shaft.
A and the second shaft 4B. That is, the first member 4a is rotatably provided below the fixed member 2 via the first shaft 4A, and the first member 4a and the second member 4b are rotatably provided via the second shaft 4B. Is provided. The second member 4b is a member that bends in the shape of a “<” and has a longer end. A protruding regulating plate 4c is welded to the outside of the first member 4a.

The support member 4 which is such a link mechanism
In the lowered position of the tire holder 5, the first member 4a is folded along the longitudinal direction of the fixing member 2, but when the tire holder 5 rotates upward, the first member 4a extends obliquely upward from the folded state. Then, in this extended state, the second member 4b comes into contact with the regulating plate 4c, and further extension is regulated. On the other hand, when the tire holder 5 rotates downward, the link mechanism is folded back to its original state. Although the support member 4 of the present embodiment is a link mechanism, it is simply a rod-shaped member with one end protruding against the bottom of the storage box 1 and the other end supported on the bottom side of the tire holder 5 that has been rotated upward. It may be something that causes it. Further, an arm that grips the connecting member 6 of the base end portion 5A of the tire holder 5 may be attached to the fixing member 2.

The rear wall 1 of the storage box 1 according to the present invention.
It is also possible to attach the fixing member 2 for attaching the rotating shaft 3 to the shaft b, and to attach the inverted L-shaped tire holder 5 to the rotating shaft 3 so as to be freely rotatable. Further, four or more tire holders 5 may be mounted at the same time.

Therefore, when the present embodiment is actually used, the position of the swing regulating member 8 is changed in advance according to the size of the tire T to be stored. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, the lid 20 of the storage box 1 is opened along the rail 21, and
When the pair of tire holders 5 is rotated upward through the rotation shaft 3, the tire holders 5 protrude outward from the opening of the storage box 1.
At this time, the first rotation of the tire holder 5 causes the first member 4a and the second member 4
b extends and stops when the second member 4b comes into contact with the regulating plate 4c to support the base end 5A of the tire holder 5 obliquely from the bottom of the fixing member 2 and
To prevent the down rotation of the

When the tire holder 5 is raised and rotated in this way and the tire holder 5 is supported by the support member 4, the tire holder 5 projects outward in an inverted L-shape, and the base end 5A of the tire holder 5 is grounded. It is located almost horizontally with the surface. That is, the base end 5A is the storage box 1
Is closed, and the tire T in a standing posture can be bridged. Therefore, the two replaced tires T
Is transported to the opening of the storage box 1 while rolling on the ground or the floor, and is placed on the base end portions 5A of the pair of tire holders 5 in the standing posture, respectively, and is held by the swing regulating member 8 and the connecting member 6. .

After the tire T is sandwiched and mounted on the tire holder 5, when a load is applied to the mounted tire T or the tire holder 5 protruding outside, the tire holder 5 is rotated by the rotating shaft 3.
Rotate down around. The link mechanism is folded back to its original state by the downward rotation of the tire holder 5. Accordingly, the tires T placed on the two tire holders 5 in a standing posture are stored neatly at the bottom of the storage box 1. At this bottom, the tire holder 5 is L
Since the posture is in a V-shape, the outer peripheral surface of the tire T does not contact the bottom of the storage box 1. That is, since the first member 4 a of the link mechanism of the support member 4 is folded and comes into contact with the fixing member 2, the tire holder 5 does not reach the bottom of the storage box 1. Therefore,
Even if rainwater or the like enters the bottom of the storage box 1, it is possible to prevent a situation in which water droplets or the like adhere to the tire T. And the tire holder 5 of the present embodiment is
Although one is a pair, if the four tires T are mounted at the same time, it is possible to store the four tires of a normal passenger car at the same time in a neat and tidy state. Thus, the replaced tire T is stored in the standing posture. Therefore, by closing the opening of the storage box 1 by sliding the lid 20 along the rail, the space of the parking lot can be widely utilized.

On the other hand, when taking out the stored tire T, the lid 20 is opened, and the rope as the lifting means 9 is removed from the hook 1e of the rear wall 1b. When the rope is lifted by hand, the tire holder 5 rotates upward through the rotating shaft 3 and projects outward from the opening of the storage box 1 in an inverted L-shape. At this time, the link mechanism serving as the support member 4 extends to prevent the tire holder 5 from rotating downward.

After the tire holder 5 is made to project outward in an inverted L-shape, the tire T held by the swing regulating member 8 is pushed out. By sliding on 5A, the user can roll on the ground surface or on the floor while standing. In this case, the tire T can be rolled on the ground surface after removing the swing regulation member 8 from the tire holder 5. Therefore, after that, the tire T may be rolled in the standing posture to the place where the replacement work is performed.

(Second Embodiment) The tire storage structure of the present embodiment is the same as the tire holder 5 of the first embodiment.
The lifting operation of the tire T is performed manually, whereas the removal of the tire T is performed automatically.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 10, the tire storage structure according to the present embodiment includes a torsion coil spring 11 provided on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 3 and the fixing member 2 and the tire holder 5. A lock member 13 is provided to stop and release the rotation of the tire holder 5, and a safety device 18 is provided to prevent danger.

The torsion coil spring 11, which is the lifting means of the present embodiment, urges the urging force in the direction of raising and rotating the tire holder 5, and is wound around the outer circumference of a drum 12 arranged on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 3. Has been turned. That is,
The torsion coil spring 11 is provided on the left and right side surfaces 2 b
, One end 11a of which is engaged with a spring engagement plate 10 connecting the base end 5A, and the other end 11b is connected to the drum 1
2 is hooked on the hole formed. Drum 12
Is a cylindrical member that reliably winds the torsion coil spring 11, and has a hole formed through the center of the cylindrical member and through which the rotating shaft 3 passes. And it is constituted integrally with the torsion coil spring 11 and exerts the aforementioned urging force. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the tire holder 5 can be automatically rotated upward without arranging the ropes 9 and the like. The downward rotation of the tire holder 5 is performed by, for example, applying a load to the tire holder 5 or the tire T mounted on the tire holder 5 as in the first embodiment. The torsion coil spring 11 of this embodiment has a wire diameter of 10 mm, a coil inner diameter of 150 mm, a total number of turns of 18.5, a winding direction of “right”, and a spring constant of 19.347 kg ·.
mm / degree.

The torsion coil spring 11 is connected to the drum 1
The outer periphery of the tire 2 is wound, but by adjusting the winding state, the strength can be adjusted to the weight of the tire T. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, a plurality of fixing holes 12 a through which adjustment bolts 12 b pass are formed on the left and right side surfaces of the drum 12.
A fitting hole (not shown) into which a spring adjusting member (adjustment handle) 18 dedicated to winding the torsion coil spring 11 is fitted is formed on the outer peripheral portion. Further, a plurality of holes through which the adjustment bolts 12b pass are formed at positions corresponding to the fixing holes 12a in the left and right side surfaces 2b of the fixing member 2 (see FIG. 5). Therefore, when the weight of the tire T to be stored is different, a dedicated spring adjusting member is fitted into the fitting hole of the drum 12 to adjust the strength of the torsion coil spring 11, and the adjusting bolt 12b is fixed to the fixing hole 12a and the fixing member. 2 left and right side parts 2
Pass through hole b and bolt. When the dedicated spring adjusting member 18 is removed, the strength of the torsion coil spring 11 can be adjusted according to the weight of the tire T depending on the type.

The lock member 13 is a member for keeping the ascending rotation operation from the lowered position of the tire holder 5 safely. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, between the fixed member 2 and the tire holder 5 is provided. It is arranged. That is, the lock member 13 is connected to the base end portions 5A, 5A of the tire holder 5.
The upper side is arranged so as to surround the inside of the box in a U-shape. The side surface of the lock member 13 has an inverted U-shape, and the center of the lock member 13 is rotatably supported by the base shaft 5 at the base end 5A of the tire holder 5. The upper end of the lock member 13 is locked by the upper connecting member 6, and the lower end of the lock member 13 is formed by a notch groove 15 formed on the lower side of the fixed member 2.
It can be locked to. Such a lock member 13 may be configured to be disposed outside the tire holder 5, and in this case, the lock member 13 rotates between the bolts 13a and 13b which are formed at intervals outside the base end portion 5A. It is also possible to make it. A tension spring 16 is connected between the lower end of the lock member 13 and the base end 5A of the tire holder 5. The tension spring 16
This is a safety member that prevents the lower end of the lock member 13 from easily detaching from the cutout groove 15.

The lock member 13 having such a structure has a handle in the center of a U-shape on the upper side. When the handle is gripped and tilted to the left in FIG. 9 (reference F2 in FIG. 9),
The lower end side of the lock member 13 rotates about the central axis 17 and separates from the notch groove 15. At this time, the lower end side of the lock member 13 comes off against the tension spring 16. When the lock member 13 is disengaged, the urging force of the torsion coil spring 11 is applied in the direction of raising and rotating the tire holder 5, so that the tire holder 5
Is automatically rotated upward.

A safety device 19 is provided between the rear wall 1b of the storage box 1 and the tip of the tip 5B of the tire holder 5.
Are connected. The safety device 18 prevents the tire holder 5 from jumping out, and uses a long chain-like member (chain) 19. The chain 19 is
One end 19a is fixed to the rear wall 1b of the storage box 1, the other end 19b is wound around the connecting member 6 of the front end portion 5B of the tire holder 5, and is hooked through the annular member 1f attached to the rear wall 1b. It is hooked on 1e and hangs down. Note that a weight may be attached to the hanging end. Therefore, even if the lock state of the lock member 13 is released and the tire holder 5 rotates upward through the torsion coil spring 11, the safety device 19
As long as the chain member (chain) is not removed from the hook 1e, the tire holder 5 does not suddenly jump out.

Therefore, when the tire storage structure of the present embodiment is actually used, as shown in FIG.
The lid 20 of the storage box 1 is gradually opened along the rail 21 to remove the safety device 19 from the hook 1e. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, a light load is applied to the tire T mounted on the tire holder 5 so that the tip of the lock member 13 is easily detached from the notch groove 15 (reference F1 in FIG. 9). By grasping the handle of the lock member 13 and rotating the lower end side of the lock member 13 about the central axis 17 (reference numeral F2 in FIG. 9), the lock member 13 is completely separated from the notch groove 15. Then, the urging force of the torsion coil spring, which is the lifting means 11, is exerted, and the tire holder 5 automatically rotates upward as shown in FIGS. By this rising rotation,
When it protrudes outward from the opening of the storage box 1 in an inverted L-shape, the base end 5A of the tire holder 5 is located substantially horizontally with the ground surface, as in the first embodiment. Then, the replaced tire T is placed on the tire holder 5 in the standing posture while rolling on the ground or the floor. In the present embodiment, since the urging force of the torsion coil spring 11 always works, unlike the first embodiment,
There is no need to arrange.

Here, the lid 20 of the storage box 1 according to the present embodiment moves back and forth along the rail 21 described in the first embodiment. However, in the present embodiment, it is possible for this lid 20 to restrict the tire holder 5 from jumping out. That is, since the lid 20 can be gradually opened and closed by sliding along the rail 21, when the lid 20 is slightly opened and the lock member 13 is released, the tire T on which the tire T is not mounted is placed. Even if the holder 5 rotates upward, it is possible to prevent the tire holder 5 from accidentally jumping outward because the tire holder 5 collides with the lid 20.

In order to prevent such inadvertent protrusion, the shape of the inclined surface 2c of the left and right side surfaces 2b of the fixing member 2 is made to be an arc shape, or the shape of the cutout groove 15 is variously changed. The lock member 13 can be released or locked (adjusted). Also,
It is optional to finely adjust the position of the locked state of the tire holder 5 by continuously forming the cutout groove 15 on the inclined surface 2c of the fixing member 2 or the like. Further, the lifting means 11 of the present embodiment is performed by the torsion coil spring 11, but it is also possible to arrange a hydraulic / pneumatic cylinder, an electric torque motor or the like to obtain an urging force.

After the tire T is mounted on the tire holder 5, the mounted tire T or the tire holder 5 protruding outside is mounted.
When a downward load is applied, the tire holder 5 rotates downward through the rotating shaft 3 and is stored in the bottom of the storage box 1.

On the other hand, when taking out the stored tire T, the lid 20 is opened and the safety device 19 is hooked on the hook 1.
e, the grip member 13 is gripped and rotated (indicated by F1 in FIG. 9), and the tip end of the lock member 13 is detached from the notch groove 15, so that the tire holder 5 on which the tire T is mounted is automatically moved. , The tire holder projects outwardly from the opening of the storage box 1 in an inverted L-shape. Therefore, thereafter, as in the first embodiment, the base end 5A of the tire holder 5 is positioned in a horizontal state with the ground surface, so that the tire T can be rolled on the ground or the floor in its standing posture. It is possible.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the tire T of the ordinary passenger car has been described as an example, but the present invention may be applied to a tire T with wheels. A large tire T such as a bus can be used in the same manner by burying the storage box 1 under the floor of a parking lot or a garage. Further, the tire holder 5 of the present embodiment is
Although a plurality of tires T are mounted, it is of course possible in the present invention to mount a plurality of tires T on one tire holder 5.
