2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional vehicle-mounted tool for a plastic tank of this type, there is a container fall prevention frame described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-10249. As shown in FIG. 8, this container fall prevention frame is for accommodating and transporting kerosene containers (plastic tanks) and other easily fallable containers in the trunk of a vehicle. The fall prevention frame 81 includes a plurality of partition plates 83 on a foldable tubular outer frame (box shape) 82 having a rectangular cross section.
Is attached, and the inside of this outer frame is partitioned into a plurality of compartments of approximately equal size. The plastic tank P is accommodated in this partitioned compartment, and even if it shakes, the side surface of the plastic tank is restricted in its movement by the partition plate and the side wall of the outer frame, and its fall is prevented.

[0003]

However, this has the following drawbacks because it has a construction in which the inside of the box-shaped outer frame is partitioned by the partition plate. First, even when the bottom plate is removed and folded, the rectangular frame is planar with the diagonal line as the length, and thus is still large and bulky. Therefore, storage is inconvenient when not in use. Secondly, since the plate material is used as a whole, it is heavy. If a light material is used, there is a strong possibility that its strength will be insufficient. Thirdly, it is troublesome to assemble and disassemble the bottom plate and partition plate by removing them from the outer frame.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, a vehicle-mounted tool for a plastic tank according to the present invention will be specifically described based on embodiments. Needless to say, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. 1 to 7 show an in-vehicle tool for a plastic tank according to an embodiment. In these figures,
The lower frame 11, the upper frame 12, and the partition members 13 and 14 are all made of vinyl chloride pipe. These pipes are formed with a predetermined diameter and a predetermined thickness. Moreover, these pipes are joined by a predetermined joining structure. For example, it is a fitting method in which one pipe end is fitted into the other pipe end. In this case, the other pipe end is expanded. In addition, by using a PVC pipe, it is easy to hold,
Further, it is possible to prevent generation of sparks due to friction. The lower frame 11 is composed of four pipes, two long-side pipes having a long length and two short-side pipes having a shorter length. A rectangular frame is formed by these four pipes. The size of this frame is such that the short side is the same as the long side of the plastic tank, and the long side is about three times as long as the short side of the plastic tank. It is possible to store three plastic tanks in a rectangular frame. The upper frame 12 also has the same configuration as the lower frame 11. 2 in the rectangular frame of the lower frame 11.
A partition pipe 13 of a book is provided horizontally so as to bridge the long side pipes. These partition pipes 13 are arranged and fixed so as to equally divide a distance of about 1/3 with respect to the long side. This fixing is performed, for example, by forming holes in the opposing inner portions of the long side pipes and inserting both ends of the partition pipe into these holes. Similarly, in the upper frame 12, the rectangular frame is divided into three equal parts by the partition pipe 14. A plastic tank P is housed in each compartment.

Inside the frame of the lower frame 11, a bottom belt 15 having a predetermined width is provided as a bottom material. These bottom belts 15 connect the short side pipe of the frame and the partition pipe 13, and also connect the partition pipes 13 to each other. The bottom surface belt 15 comes into contact with and supports the bottom surface of the plastic tank P when it is placed. In addition,
When the bottom belt between the partition pipes 13 is composed of a single belt,
Make it wider than in the case of multiple cases. The material of the bottom belt (flat belt, etc.) is preferably high strength, high durability, and high oil resistance.

The side belt 16 is formed of, for example, a flat belt and connects the lower frame 11 and the upper frame 12 to each other. These side belts 16 have the same length and are made of a foldable material such as cloth. The length is, for example, about 2/3 of the height of the plastic tank P. When the upper frame 12 is pulled up, the upper frame 12 is located above the center of gravity of the plastic tank P. This is to effectively prevent the fall. The side belt 16
Is composed of two pieces between the upper and lower four pipes, and a total of eight pieces. The attachment position of the side belt is a left-right symmetrical position in a plan view of the upper and lower frames. The length of each side belt 16 may be adjusted by using a known buckle material.

Further, an upper frame fixing member 17 is attached to the upper frame 12. That is, the upper frame fixing member 17 is for fixing the upper frame 12 to a predetermined height position of the container when the container (polytank P) is placed on the bottom material 15. The upper frame fixing member 17 can be fixed and released with one touch. For example, a long fixing belt 17 is attached to the short side pipe of the upper frame 12.
One end of A is fixed, and one end of the short fixing belt 17B is fixed to the opposing short side pipe. Each fixed belt 17A, 17
The male part and the female part of the buckle 18 are fixed to the tip (free end) of B, respectively. As the buckle, there is a fitting type used for a vehicle seat belt, for example. Instead of the buckle, the male and female portions of the planar fastener may be fixed to each tip. Alternatively, the hook may be detachably configured.

The in-vehicle tool for the plastic tank having the above-mentioned structure is folded in the state shown in FIG. 6 when not in use.
It is small and lightweight, and it is easy to carry, store, and mount on the vehicle without taking up space. Next, at the time of use, the folded vehicle-mounted tool is placed on the floor surface in the trunk room, and one to three plastic tanks P are placed in each section. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the upper frame 12 is pulled up, the fixing belt 17 is laid over the plastic tank P, and the buckles 18 at the respective tips are fitted. As a result, the plastic tank P is fixed by the upper frame 12 and the lower frame 11. Even if external force acts laterally, it does not fall. This is 1
The same applies to the case where one plastic tank P is mounted. The removal of the plastic tank P from this state can be easily performed by releasing the fitting of the buckle 18 of the fixed belt 17 and removing the fixed belt 17 from the upper surface of the plastic tank. This is because when the upper frame 12 is released from the fixed belt 17, the side belt 16 is folded and falls on the lower frame 11.

It is also conceivable that each of the above-mentioned frames is constructed so as to be capable of expanding and contracting in the longitudinal direction. In this case, the partition pipe can also be removed. Wide containers (such as kerosene cans other than plastic tanks) can also be installed onboard. The expansion and contraction structure may be one in which the long side pipe is composed of two pipes having a fitting structure, and this is fastened and fixed with screws. Also, each frame can be folded in two. The middle part of the long side pipe in the length direction is pin-connected. Can be stored more compactly. Further, each frame can be configured by a shaft member instead of the pipe. Further, each of the bottom belts and the side belts may have a net-like structure.
The fixing belt may be made of rubber cord, and a hook may be attached to the tip thereof. The plastic tank can be fixed by hooking the hooks on a part of the upper frame and the lower frame. The objects to be mounted are not limited to plastic tanks and liquid containers. Of course, it can be applied to other luggage.

[0019]

According to the present invention, the on-vehicle tool for the plastic tank can be made small and not bulky. Therefore, it is easy to carry and store when not in use. In addition, it is light and can retain its strength sufficiently. In addition, it is extremely easy to assemble and disassemble, such as mounting and dismounting with a plastic tank. Moreover, these materials can be commercially available and can be manufactured at extremely low cost as a whole.
