Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle hook which is provided, for example, on the back surface of a seat back in a vehicle compartment and is used to hang baggage such as a handbag or a carrying bag.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-190730 discloses a technique in which a hook for hanging clothes or the like is provided on a part of a vehicle compartment. That is, the hook is provided so as to be able to be taken in and out of the case embedded in the ceiling of the vehicle compartment, and is held in a state of being housed in the case. However, in this hook, clothes or the like may come off and fall if the vehicle is subjected to severe vibration during use. Then, the actual development Sho 63-5
In the technique disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 0249, the hook is attached to the dish-shaped main body mounted on the back surface of the seat back or the like while being constantly biased in the storage direction (closing direction) by the spring force. . Due to this spring force, baggage such as a handbag hung on the hook is hard to come off.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]
In the technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-50249, baggage cannot be loaded unless the hook is raised against the spring force each time the hook is used. Further, the hook in the state in which the baggage is hung is not completely stored (closed) even though it receives the spring force, so that the baggage may come off the hook when the vibration is severe.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to hang baggage such as a handbag on a hook body mounted at a predetermined location in a vehicle compartment, and to always close the open portion of the hook body with a lid. The purpose is to prevent baggage from falling off the hook body even if severe vibration occurs while the vehicle is traveling.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the vehicle hook of the present invention is constructed as follows. First, the structure according to claim 1 is a hook main body that can be mounted at a predetermined position in a vehicle compartment and has an opening for hanging baggage, and is rotatable in a direction for opening and closing the opening with respect to the hook main body. And a leg portion protruding from a part of the lid so as to be located in the open portion of the hook main body when the lid is in the open position. According to a second aspect of the present invention, a predetermined resistance force is applied to the rotation of the lid when the lid is at the rotational position in which at least the opening of the hook body is closed. According to the third aspect of the present invention, when the lid is in the rotating position where the opening of the hook body is opened, the lid is maintained in a substantially vertical posture on the front side of the opening.

[0006]

According to the present invention, when a baggage such as a handbag is hung on the hook body, the weight of the baggage acts on the leg portion of the lid located at the open portion of the hook body. Then, the lid is pivoted so as to close the open portion of the hook body and is kept in that state. This prevents the baggage from falling off the hook body even if the baggage violently vibrates while the vehicle is traveling. According to the configuration of claim 2, the lid pivoted in a state in which the open portion of the hook body is closed is held in that state by the pivotal resistance between the hook body and the hook body, so that the baggage for the hook body can be kept. Falling off is more reliably prevented.
According to the configuration of claim 3, the lid that is rotated with the open portion of the hook body open is in a state of being closed in a substantially vertical posture on the front side of the open portion. Therefore, the baggage violently vibrates, and even if the lid rotates in the direction to open the opening of the hook body, the lid in that state can prevent the baggage from coming off.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. Example 1 FIGS. 1 and 2 are perspective views of a vehicle hook as viewed from the front side and the back side thereof, respectively, and FIG. 3 is a vertical sectional view of the vehicle hook. As shown in these drawings, the hook body 10 is formed of a resin material or the like into a substantially L shape. That is, the hook body 10 includes the front wall 12 and the rear wall 13.
Between them, there is an opening 14 for hanging baggage such as a handbag or a bag.

The front wall 12 is formed in an arc shape centered on the pivotal fulcrum of the lid 30 to be described below, and here, as apparent from FIG. 1, two slits 16 opened on the upper surface. Are formed. On the other hand, the rear wall 13 is formed in a flat shape, and a notched concave portion 18 which is also open to the upper surface is formed in the center of the rear wall 13. Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a clip 22 is inserted into the clip attaching portion 20 formed on the back surface of the rear wall 13.

The lid 30 is formed of a resin material or the like separately from the hook body 10, and the lid 30 is integrally formed with a leg portion 32 projecting in a perpendicular direction. The intersecting portion of the lid 30 and the leg portion 32 is rotatably supported by the shaft 34 with respect to the hook body 10 in the cutout recess 18 of the rear wall 13 of the hook body 10. That is, the lid 30 and the leg portion 32 have the shaft 34.
Is used as a rotation fulcrum, whereby the lid 30 is
As shown by the solid line in FIG. 3, the opening portion 1 of the hook body 10
4 from the open state, as shown by the phantom line in FIG.
4 will be rotated to the closed state. Moreover, when the lid 30 is in the state where the open portion 14 is opened, the leg portion 32 is positioned so as to close the open portion 14.

When the leg portion 32 rotates together with the lid 30, the front end portion of the leg portion 32 has a front wall 1 of the hook body 10.
2, the central portion 12 divided by the slit 16
It slides along the inner surface of a. In addition, this central portion 12a
Has flexibility due to the elasticity of the resin material from which the hook body 10 is molded, and the flexibility allows the tip portion of the leg portion 32 and the inner surface of the central portion 12a to be in constant contact with each other. . Therefore, the leg portion 32 slides while receiving a predetermined frictional resistance force at its tip portion,
Due to this frictional resistance, the lid 30 is held at an arbitrary rotational position with respect to the hook body 10.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a seat to which the vehicle hook having the above structure is attached. As is apparent from this drawing, the vehicle hook is attached to the back surface of the seat back 40 by using the clip 22 attached to the rear wall 13 of the hook body 10. Therefore, when a baggage such as a handbag or a carrying bag is hung on the hook body 10 from the opening portion 14, the leg portion 32 located in the opening portion 14 receives the weight of the baggage and the lid 3
It rotates with 0 to the position shown by the phantom line in FIG. As a result, the open portion 14 of the hook body 10 is closed by the lid 30 while the baggage is hung. Moreover, at this time, the lid 30 is held in the rotating position where the open portion 14 is closed by the frictional resistance between the tip portion of the leg portion 32 and the inner surface of the central portion 12a of the front wall 12 of the hook body 10.
Therefore, the situation in which the baggage falls off the hook body 10 and falls even if intense vibration occurs while the vehicle is traveling is eliminated.

When the baggage is to be removed from the hook body 10, the lid 30 is lifted by the force applied at that time and pivots to the original position together with the legs 32. This allows the baggage to be removed from the opening 14 of the hook body 10. At this time, the tip portion of the leg portion 32 is
As can be seen in FIG. 3, the protrusion 24 of the central portion 12a of the front wall 12 of the hook body 10 is overcome, and the lid 30 is held in the open position by opening the opening 14 of the hook body 10. If the lid 30 is rotated and the open portion 14 of the hook body 10 is closed when no baggage is hung on the hook body 10, a finger or the like is inserted from the space on both sides of the open portion 14. The lid 30 may be rotated in the opening direction.

Embodiment 2 FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a vehicle hook having a different structure, and FIG. 6 is a vertical sectional view thereof. In the present embodiment, a notch recess 25 is formed in the front wall 12 of the hook body 10, and a portion of the notch recess 25 where the lid 30 and the leg portion 32 intersect with the front wall 12 of the hook body 10. It is rotatably supported by a spring pin 26. As is well known, the spring pin 26 has a spring force in its radial direction, and this spring force replaces the frictional resistance between the tip portion of the leg portion 32 and the central portion 12a of the front wall 12 in the first embodiment. A predetermined resistance force is applied to the rotation of the lid 30 with respect to the hook body 10. Therefore, in the second embodiment, the leg portion 32 is located in the opening 27 formed in the rear wall 13 of the hook body 10, and the rear wall 1 is rotated when the leg portion 32 is rotated.
Interference with 3 is missing. Further, two screw holes 28 are formed in the rear wall 13 of the hook body 10 for attaching the hook body 10 to a wall surface in the vehicle compartment with screws (not shown).
Has been opened.

Also in this embodiment, when a baggage such as a handbag or a bag is hung on the hook body 10, the leg portions 32 receive the weight of the baggage and rotate together with the lid 30 to the position shown by the phantom line in FIG. , The opening 1 of the hook body 10
4 is closed by the lid 30. Then, the lid 30 is held at the turning position where the opening 14 is closed by the turning resistance based on the spring force of the spring pin 26. When the baggage is removed from the hook body 10, the lid 30 is rotated to the original position as in the case of the first embodiment, and the opening portion 14 of the hook body 10 is held in the open state by the rotation resistance. To be done.

Particularly in the second embodiment, the hook body 10
The lid 30 when the open portion 14 is opened is closed in a substantially vertical posture on the front surface of the open portion 14. Therefore, when baggage is hung on the hook body 10, even if the lid 30 is opened due to vibration or the like, the baggage can be removed beyond the closed lid 30 unless the baggage is artificially removed. Is prevented. In each of the first and second embodiments, the components of the vehicle hook are the hook body 10 and the lid 30 (including the leg portion 32).
Besides, the shaft 34 and the clip 22 or the spring pin 2
Only 6 and screws are required, and the cost can be kept low as compared with the one using a leaf spring or a coil spring.

[0016]

According to the present invention, the open portion of the hook is always closed by the lid only by hanging baggage such as a handbag on the hook body, or the lid is temporarily turned in the direction of opening the open portion of the hook body. Even if it moves, it is possible to prevent the situation where the baggage comes off the hook body and falls due to the vibration while the vehicle is running.
