DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0010]
In FIG. 1, 1 is a system carrier bar that is attached to the roof of a vehicle, 2 is a lower clamping rod, 3 is an upper clamping rod that pivotally supports the base end of the lower clamping rod 2 at the rear end thereof. 4 is a pivot pin, 5 is a rubber pad attached to the opposing surface of the lower and upper clip rods 2 and 3, 6 is a U-shaped lower cover fixed to the lower clip rod 2, and 7 is An upper front cover formed at the front end of the upper clip 3 is inserted into the lower cover 6, 8 is a latch button provided on the front cover 7, and 9 is a latch for the latch button 8. A key cylinder 10 for locking in the stop position is a locking pin provided at the front end portion of the lower sandwiching rod 2, and the upper side of the locking button 10 is engaged with the locking button portion 8. The front end of the sandwiching cage 3 is fixed to the front end of the lower sandwiching cage 2 It is adapted to be locked by a key operation of the key cylinder 9.
[0011]
In the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the lower clip bar 2 is fixed to the system carrier bar 1, and the lower clip bar 2 a is fixed to the system carrier bar 1, and the upper clip bar 3 is connected via a pivot pin 4. And the lower pincage upper part 2b is pivotally supported by the pivotal pin 11 so as to be tiltable with respect to each other. The lower pincage upper part 2b has an inverted U-shaped cross section, In this, the lower pinch lower part 2a is inserted.
[0012]
In addition, an inverted U-shaped groove 12 having step grooves 12a and 12b that are bent vertically and a longitudinal groove 12c that connects the upper and lower horizontal grooves 12a is provided in the front portion of the lower sandwiching rod lower portion 2a. The fitted tilt restricting pin 13 is inserted into a long hole 14 extending in the longitudinal direction provided in the lower sandwiched collar upper portion 2b, and the rear end of the lower sandwiched collar upper portion 2b is always attached by a spring 15. The base of a tension bar 16 for pulling the tilt regulating pin 13 against the spring 15 in the direction of the front end of the upper portion 2b is pivotally supported by the tilt regulating pin 13 so as to be tiltable. The front end 16a of 16 is extended to the front beyond the front end of the lower pinch upper portion 2b.
[0013]
Furthermore, the杆上portion 2 b sandwiched the lower, the stop pin 17a between the front and the slots 14 provided on the lower surface of the upper and lower tension rod 16 extends toward the substantially intermediate portion from the front end, or, When the notch 17b is formed at least at substantially the middle portion, and the inclination regulating pin 13 is fitted into one of the bent step grooves 12a and 12b of the inverted U-shaped groove 12 by the spring 15, FIG. As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 5, the stop pin 17a is in a position where it can engage with the notch 17b, and the tension bar 16 becomes substantially horizontal and cannot be pulled forward. When the inverted U-shaped groove 12 is positioned in the vertical groove 12c other than the step grooves 12a and 12b, the lower surface of the tension rod 16 rides on the stop pin 17a as shown in FIGS. If the tension bar 16 is horizontal When the tension bar 16 is tilted in this manner, the contact plate 18 that abuts against the front end 16a of the tension bar 16 is placed in the front upper cover 7 of the upper clip bar 3. Therefore, when the tension bar 16 is in an inclined state, the abutment plate 18 hits the front end 16a of the tension bar 16 so that the upper clip bar 3 cannot be closed with respect to the lower clip bar upper part 2b. To do.
[0014]
Since the roof carrier tilt fixing device of the present invention has the above-described configuration, the lower portion 2a and the upper portion 2b of the lower clip 2 overlap each other as shown in FIG. 1, that is, the upper portion 2b is the system carrier. In the state where it is not inclined with respect to the bar 1, the inclination regulating pin 13 enters the lower bent step groove 12 b of the inverted U-shaped groove 12, and the stop pin 17 a engages with the notch 17 b on the lower surface of the tension rod 16. The tension rod 16 is substantially horizontal. Accordingly, in this state, when the upper clip bar 3 is closed, it is possible to close the upper clip bar 3 without the abutment plate 18 in the front upper cover 7 coming into contact with the front end 16a of the tension bar 16. In addition, the lower sandwiching rod upper portion 2b is in a state in which the tilt regulating pin 13 connected thereto cannot move upward and cannot tilt around the pivot pin 11.
[0015]
On the other hand, when the upper portion 2b of the lower pin 2 is inclined upward with respect to the lower portion 2a, the upper pin 3 is opened to expose the tension bar 16 as shown in FIG. By rotating clockwise around the pin 13 to disengage the notch 17b on the lower surface of the tension bar 16 from the stop pin 17a, the tension bar 16 is moved forward against the spring 15 as shown in FIG. By pulling and moving the tilt regulating pin 13 forward from the step groove 12b of the inverted U-shaped groove 12, the tilt regulating pin 13 can move upward in the vertical groove 12c of the inverted U-shaped groove 12, With the support pin 11 as the center, the lower pinch upper part 2b can be inclined upward as shown in FIG. 4 with respect to the lower part 2a.
[0016]
Next, when the tension rod 16 is released, the tension rod 16 is pulled rearward by the spring 15 and the inclination regulating pin 13 enters the upper bent step groove 12a in the inverted U-shaped groove 12 as shown in FIG. The upper part 2b of the pin 2 is held in the inclined position. At the same time, the notch 17b on the lower surface of the tension bar 16 engages with the stop pin 17a so that the tension bar 16 returns substantially horizontally, and the upper clip bar 3 can be closed.
[0017]
In order to release the inclination of the upper portion 2b of the lower clip 2, the upper clip 3 can be opened to expose the tension rod 16 and the tension rod 16 can be operated in the same manner as described above.
[0018]
In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 6, the inverted U-shaped groove 12 has three upper, middle, and lower horizontal bent step grooves 12a, 12d, and 12b, and the vertical connection between them. A groove 12c is provided. According to this embodiment, the inclination of the upper portion 2b of the lower clip rod 2 can be made in two stages.
[0019]
Alternatively, the inverted U-shaped groove 12 may be provided in the lower sandwiched ridge upper portion 2b, and the long hole 14, the inclination regulating pin 13 and the stop pin 17a may be disposed in the lower sandwiched ridge lower portion 2a. Further, the tilt restricting pin 13 has a circular cross section. However, if the lower surface of the inverted U-shaped groove 12 in contact with the step groove is made flat, the contact surface of the step groove in contact with the tilt restricting pin 13 is shown. Therefore, the deformation of the contact surface of the step groove can be prevented and the cross section of the inclination restricting pin 13 can be reduced.
[0020]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the roof carrier tilt fixing device of the present invention, the operation when changing between the diagonal stacking and the flat stacking can be easily and reliably performed, and the mechanism part accompanying such a change can be extremely simplified. There is a big benefit that its appearance will not be damaged.
