[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a tool storage device for a large automobile, and more particularly to a tool storage device for a large truck such as a truck.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As is well known, vehicles are required to be equipped with in-vehicle tools. And in large vehicles such as trucks and buses, large tools are required. Thus, conventionally, large trucks have a tool box attached to the frame between the front and rear wheels to store the tool.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in large trucks, the distance between the shafts is long, so that the difference between the inner rings is large and accidents tend to occur. For this reason, the entanglement prevention bar is provided in the lower part of the side floor of the frame. Therefore, in the conventional tool box, this entrapment prevention bar is in the way and the lid cannot be opened and closed successfully.
The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a tool storage device that does not hinder the opening and closing of the lid body and that allows easy loading and unloading of a tool even if there is an entrainment prevention bar in a large truck. To do.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a tool storage device to be mounted on a lower part of a floor of a large automobile, and has a pair of left and right side plates, a top plate, a bottom plate, and a back plate, and has an opening on the front surface. A rectangular parallelepiped case body, a lid that can close the opening, and a rotation support device that supports the lid so as to be openable and closable. The rotation support device is pivotally attached to the left and right side plates. Left and right support arms and interlocking hooks that interlock both support arms, and the left and right support arms do not contact the upper edge of the opening when the lid is opened and closed. In this case, a clearance is formed in the cover, and when the opening is opened, the lid is retracted above the top plate, and when the opening is closed, the lid covers the opening.
[0005]
[Action]
The lid body is supported to be freely opened and closed by the rotation support device, and when the lid body is opened and closed, the upper front edge portion of the case body can be dodged by the action of the escape space formed on the support arm of the rotation support device, The lid can be retracted above the top plate without causing the lid to project to the front side of the case body by interlocking the left and right support arms with the interlocking rod.
[0006]
【Example】
The present invention will be described below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a truck provided with a tool storage device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the tool storage device.
[0007]
The tool storage device 1 includes a pair of left and right side plates 21, a top plate 22, a bottom plate 23, a back plate 24 and a rectangular parallelepiped case body 2 having an opening 3 on the front surface, and the opening 3 can be closed. A lid 4 and a rotation support device 5 that supports the lid 4 so as to be freely opened and closed are provided.
[0008]
For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the left and right side plates 21 are plate materials having a side surface shape of a substantially trapezoidal shape so that the front side is slightly inclined. The top plate 22, the bottom plate 23, and the back plate 24 are formed by bending a plate material. And while raising the front edge of the baseplate 23, the front standing part 25 is formed, and the upper edge of this front standing part 25 is bent in groove shape, and the opening lower edge part 31 is formed.
[0009]
On the other hand, the front edge of the top plate 22 is bent obliquely downward to form a narrow front descending portion 26, and the lower edge is bent into a groove shape to form the opening upper edge portion 32. Further, the opening side edge 33 is formed by bending the front edge of the side plate 21 inward.
[0010]
The opening side edge portion 33, the opening upper edge portion 32, and the opening lower edge portion 31 are positioned in a frame shape around the opening portion 3 of the case body 2.
[0011]
On the other hand, the lid body 4 capable of closing the opening 3 as described above is a shallow dish-like member, and as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the lower edge side has an upper end surface of the opening lower edge portion 31. A lower edge portion 41 that is inclined so as to be placed is provided, and an upper edge portion 42 that is inclined so as to correspond to the inclination of the front lowering portion 26 is provided on the upper edge side. Further, folded side edge portions 43 are also formed on the side edge portions.
[0012]
The rotation support device 5 that pivotably mounts the lid 4 on the case main body 2 as described above includes left and right support arms 51 pivotally mounted on the left and right side plates 21, and both supports. It comprises an interlocking rod 52 that interlocks the arm 51. The support arm 51 is formed with a clearance portion 53 so that the support arm 51 does not come into contact with the upper edge of the opening 3 when the lid 4 is rotated.
[0013]
That is, according to the illustrated embodiment, the support arm 51 is formed in a generally U-shape with the upper end widened, and one end of the support arm 51 is pivotally attached to a support pedestal described later, and the other end of the lid body 4 described above. The side edge is pivotally attached. Therefore, the support arm 51 is rotatable with respect to the case body 2 and supports the lid body 4 so as to be rotatable. The support pedestal is formed by welding to the side plate 21 part.
[0014]
In addition, an interlocking rod 52 that interlocks the support arms 51 is provided between the left and right support arms 51. The interlock rod 52 is formed, for example, by welding a pipe material near the pivot portion of the lid 4.
[0015]
Further, in the illustrated embodiment, a lock device 6 having a key hole is provided below the front surface of the lid body 4 to prevent the lid body 4 from being unnecessarily opened. There may be.
[0016]
Next, the operation of the tool storage device 1 having the above-described configuration will be described. It is installed with a large gap.
[0017]
First, in order to open the opening 3 and take out the internal tool, the lid 4 may be pushed upward. Then, the lid 4 pivotally attached to the tip of the support arm 51 rises along the case body 2 while changing the inclination angle, and the support arm 51 rotates upward. At this time, since the escape space 53 is formed in the support arm 51 according to the present invention, the support arm 51 does not contact the upper edge 32 of the opening of the case body 2.
[0018]
When the lid body 4 is further raised, the lid body 4 becomes almost horizontal and enters between the top plate 22 and the floor under the loading platform, thereby completely opening the opening 3. In this state, the lid 4 does not protrude to the front side of the case body 2. Therefore, even if the entanglement prevention bar 71 is installed in the track 7, the entanglement prevention bar 71 does not interfere with the opening of the tool storage device 1.
[0019]
On the other hand, when closing the opening 3, the lid 4 may be pulled slightly forward. That is, when the lid body 4 is pulled forward, the lid body 4 rotates downward due to the weight of the lid body 4 and the support arm 51 so that the lower edge 41 abuts on the opening lower edge 31 and the lid body. 4 closes the opening 3 by contacting the lower edge 31 of the opening, the upper edge 32 of the opening 32 and the side edge 33 provided on the case body 2 in a frame shape. And if the locking device 6 is operated, the lid 4 will not open during traveling.
[0020]
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be appropriately implemented as long as the configuration described in the claims is not changed.
[0021]
