Description

  The present invention relates to a chain saw that rotates a saw chain using a small engine.

A chain saw driven by a small engine such as a two-cycle engine is widely used as a tool for cutting tree trunks and branches. Chainsaws are usually operated by workers holding them, especially because they can cut overhead branches or climb on trees, so they can be easily lifted with one hand. It is important to be small and light. In order to reduce the size of the chainsaw, the engine body, exhaust pipe, saw chain, etc. are arranged and attached to the housing. (See Patent Document 1).
JP 61-160201 A

  In recent chainsaws, the engine body is housed in an integrally molded housing, and a saw chain part or the like is attached via the housing. However, since the housing is made of plastic for weight reduction, compared to a metal housing Since the rigidity and strength of the material itself are inferior, various designs have been made in its design and manufacture. In a chain saw, for example, when working on a tree, the chain saw 1 may be lifted up to a high place with a rope, and there is a device provided with a hook for that purpose. However, when the hooks are formed so as to protrude from the apparatus, the hooks may hit the worker's body or the surroundings.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above background, and an object of the present invention is to provide a chainsaw having hook means for suspending that is easy to use without being in the way when not in use.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a chainsaw that can be manufactured at low cost and has strong hook means.

  Of the inventions disclosed in the present application, typical features will be described as follows.

According to one aspect of the present invention, a chain saw having an engine, a housing for housing the engine, and a guide bar attached to the housing, and rotating a saw chain wound around the guide bar by the engine, protrudes from the housing. It provided slidable hooks between the projected position and the storage position in the direction of. The hook has a substantially circular ring part, and is provided with a slit that stores at least a part of the ring part and exposes a part to the outside when the hook is in the storage position. The fixed portion is configured by a U-shaped member including two parallel arms extending from the housing and a connecting portion that connects the rear end portions of the arms, and the moving portion engages with the U-shaped member. Consists of hooks.

  According to another feature of the invention, the fixed part is constituted by a U-shaped member comprising two parallel arms extending from the housing and a connecting part connecting the rear end parts of the arms, and the moving part is The hook is engaged with the U-shaped member. The hook is fixed so as to be sandwiched between plates fixed to the U-shaped member. In addition, when the cover which covers the rear surface of a housing is attached, the slit which penetrates a hook is formed in a cover, and a hook penetrates a slit and can move to the front-back direction.

According to still another aspect of the present invention, the hook is bent portion is formed, at the time of withdrawal of the hook bent portion is engaged with the connecting portion. Hooks can be produced by bending, for example wire, substantially circular ring portion and a straight line extending from the annular portion in two directions and, bending bent in a direction perpendicular to the torus at the tip of the linear portion Part. The straight portion has a shape that widens as it gets away from the annular portion, and the hook is preferably attached to the U-shaped member so that the widened portion is sandwiched between two arms. Further, the fixing portion also has a function of fixing the handle, and the hook may be attached using the handle fixing screw or the like.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the hook means is provided which is slidable between the protruding position and the storage position in the direction protruding from the housing. It is possible to provide a chainsaw having hook means that do not become. Further, since the hook is a sliding movement type that stores at least a part of the annular portion when the hook is in the storage position, the area required for the slit can be as small as the thickness of the hook.

  According to the invention of claim 2, since the hook means includes a fixed portion fixed to the housing and a moving portion that is slidably attached to the fixed portion, the housing and the fixed portion are firmly manufactured by integral molding or the like. In this state, a movable hook means can be realized.

  According to the invention of claim 3, it is constituted by a U-shaped member comprising two parallel arms extending from the housing and a connecting portion connecting the rear end portions of the arms, and the moving portion is a U-shaped. Since the hook is engaged with the member, the fixing portion can be realized with a simple structure.

  According to the invention of claim 4, since the hook is fixed so as to be sandwiched by the plate fixed to the U-shaped member, the hook can be fixed movably with a simple structure.

  According to the invention of claim 5, the housing is provided with a cover that covers the rear surface, the cover is formed with a slit that penetrates the hook, and the hook is movable in the front-rear direction through the slit. Even in a chain saw having an air cleaner cover or the like, hook means can be easily added to the housing.

According to the invention of claim 6, since the bent portion is formed in the hook and the bent portion engages with the connecting portion when the hook is pulled out, it is possible to realize hook means in which the hook does not fall off from the fixed portion. .

According to the invention of claim 7, the hook is produced by bending a wire, a substantially circular ring portion, and a straight portion extending from the annular portion in two directions, the torus and the vertical direction at the tip of the straight portion Since it has the bent part bent, it can manufacture easily with an inexpensive material. Also, the slide mechanism can be realized with a simple configuration without using costly parts such as hinges and hinges.

  According to the invention of claim 8, the straight portion of the hook has a shape that widens as the distance from the annular portion increases, and the U-shaped member is formed in a state in which the widened portion is sandwiched between the two arms to be parallel. Because it is attached, it can prevent rattling of the hook during storage.

  According to the ninth aspect of the present invention, the chain saw has a handle that is gripped by an operator, and the fixing portion also functions to fix the handle. Therefore, the hook means can be realized with a small number of parts.

  The above and other objects and novel features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description and drawings.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following drawings, parts having the same function are denoted by the same reference numerals, and repeated description is omitted. 1 is a perspective view showing an appearance of a chainsaw according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an appearance from another angle, FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an appearance from another angle, and FIG. Is a front view, FIG. 5 is a rear view, and FIG. 6 is a bottom view.

  In FIG. 1, a chain saw 1 is mounted with a small engine such as a 2-cycle or 4-cycle engine, and a guide bar 11 protrudes in front of the main body. A saw chain (not shown) is wound around the periphery of the guide bar 11, and a tree, a branch, or the like can be cut by rotating the saw chain at a high speed. An engine described later is housed in the housing 2 in a horizontal position. The housing 2 not only houses the engine but also attaches a guide bar 11 and covers around the engine 2 and is a skeleton part of the chain saw 1. A main handle 3 is provided above the housing 2 so that the front handle 6 extends laterally and downward from the vicinity of the front end of the main handle.

  The main handle 3 is a handle for the operator to hold with the right hand, and the front handle 6 is a handle for the operator to hold with the left hand. A safety trigger 7a is provided near the upper portion of the main handle 3, and an ignition switch 7b is provided near the front end. A hand guard 12 is provided on the front side of the main handle. The hand guard 12 serves to protect a worker's hand from being hit by a branch or a cut object. Furthermore, the role of a brake for stopping the rotation of the saw chain by tilting the hand guard 12 forward may also be used. The left side of the housing 2 (hereinafter, this description will be described by defining front, rear, left and right as shown in FIG. 1 on the basis of when the operator holds the chainsaw 1) is covered with a left cover 4. A recoil starter (not shown) for starting the engine is accommodated inside the left cover 4, and a starter handle 13 is attached through the left cover 4. In front of the left cover 4, a fuel tank cap 14a and a chain oil tank cap 15a are provided.

  2, the guide bar 11 is fixed to the right side of the housing 2 by two bolts (not shown) extending from the housing 2 and nuts 17a and 17b. On the right side of the housing 2, a driving force transmission mechanism to a saw chain, which will be described later, is attached, and a light cover 5 is provided to cover it. A chain catcher 16 is provided in the vicinity of the attachment portion between the housing 2 and the guide bar 11.

  In FIG. 3, a muffler guard 8 provided with a mesh-shaped air vent on the most part of the surface is attached behind the light cover 5 in order to guard against the heat of the engine muffler 66. A rear cover 9 for covering an air cleaner described later is provided at the rear end of the chainsaw 1. The rear cover 9 is detachably fixed to the housing 2 by a fixing screw 18. On the right side of the fixing screw 18, a pull-out hook 20 is provided that is slidable back and forth. For example, when working on a tree, the hook 20 is used to hang a rope when the chainsaw 1 is pulled up to a high place with a rope. The state shown in FIG. 3 is a state in which the hook 20 is housed, and the hook 20 hardly protrudes to the outside of the rear cover 9 except for a necessary part to be pulled out by hand. For this reason, only the vicinity of the hook attachment portion of the rear cover 9 has a slightly recessed shape with respect to the surroundings, and the hook 20 can be prevented from hitting the operator's body or the surroundings during storage.

  FIG. 4 is a front view of the chainsaw 1 as seen from the front. The housing 2 is located substantially at the center in the left-right direction when viewed from the main body excluding the front handle 6. The housing 2 and the chain guard 11 are fixed by nuts 17a and 17b at a predetermined interval as shown in the figure. A sprocket, which will be described later, connected to the crankshaft of the engine via a centrifugal clutch 44 (FIG. 6) is provided behind the guide bar 11, and the saw chain is driven by rotating the sprocket.

  FIG. 5 is a rear view of the chainsaw 1 as seen from the rear. From this figure, the arrangement of the hooks 20 can be well understood. The hook 20 is preferably provided at a well-balanced position when the chain saw 1 is suspended using this. However, the attachment position of the hook 20 is relatively free, and if the chain saw 1 is well placed when suspended, for example, if the longitudinal direction of the guide bar 11 can be kept up and down, the chain saw 1 The main handle portion 3 may be provided behind or near the side. In order to attach the hook 20, the rear cover 9 is formed with a slit 9a. However, since the rear cover 9 is a slide-movable hook 20, the area required for the slit can be as small as the thickness of the hook. Further, the hook 20 may be interposed in the slit, so that dust or the like can be prevented from entering the cleaner cover 9. Further, since the hook 20 is directly fixed to the housing 2 instead of the rear cover 9 as will be described later, the chain saw 1 is suspended in a stable state without being affected even if the rear cover 9 is not completely installed. Can do.

  FIG. 6 is a bottom view of the chainsaw 1 as viewed from below. This figure shows a state in which the hook 20 is housed, but the point that the recess 9 b is formed around the hook 20, and that the rear end surface of the hook 20 and the rear end of the rear cover 9 substantially coincide with each other. You can understand. Two bolts 33 and 34 are provided on the bottom surface of the housing 2. These bolts 33 and 34 are not located at the same position in the front-rear direction (longitudinal direction of the chain guard 11), and are provided with the bolt 33 offset to the right and the bolt 34 offset to the left as viewed in the drawing. The reason for this will be described later. The sprocket 43 is configured integrally with the rotor portion of the centrifugal clutch 44, and the rotation driving force of the engine 50 is transmitted to the saw chain when the saw chain is wound around the sprocket 43. A muffler 66 for silencing the exhaust sound of the engine 50 is provided on the rear side of the sprocket 43.

  Next, the internal structure of the chainsaw 1 will be described using the cross-sectional view shown in FIG. Inside the housing 2 of the chainsaw 1, the engine 50 is accommodated almost horizontally. Here, horizontal installation means that the direction of movement of the piston is horizontal during operation. Strictly speaking, in this embodiment, the direction of movement of the piston is not completely horizontal, and the tip portion is slightly lowered. It is “almost horizontal”. This is because when the engine 50 is completely placed horizontally, the height of the rear end portion of the chainsaw 1 is increased due to the relationship between the carburetor 67 and the air filter 68 disposed on the upper side thereof, and the engine 50 is inclined downward. It is what I did. In this embodiment, an example of a two-cycle engine is shown as the engine 50, but a four-cycle engine may be used. The engine 50 performs an intake-compression-combustion-exhaust stroke while a piston 62 attached to the crank 64 via a connecting rod 63 reciprocates. The engine 50 is fixed to the housing 2 by two bolts 31 (FIG. 8) and 32 from the upper side and two bolts 33 (FIG. 8) and 34 from the lower side. A fuel tank 14 for the engine 50 and a chain oil tank 15 for supplying oil to the saw chain are provided on the front side of the housing 2.

  FIG. 8 is a perspective view for explaining a mounting state of the housing 2 and the engine 50, and FIG. 9 is a perspective view from another angle. The housing 2 is configured by, for example, plastic integral molding, and the engine 50 is inserted in a direction indicated by an arrow in FIG. 8 and is fixed by four bolts 31 to 34 from the vertical direction. The engine 50 is formed with four screw holes (only 31b and 32b are shown in FIG. 8) to be screwed with these bolts. In FIG. 9, a flat surface portion 2a is formed on the front side of the surface opposite to the side where the engine is inserted of the housing 2 (the right surface), and two fixed to the housing 2 are formed outside the flat surface portion 2a. The guide bar 11 is attached to the bolts 19a and 19b, and is fixed by nuts 17a and 17b.

  In order to accommodate an oil pump (not shown), a recessed portion 2b that is recessed in a substantially rectangular shape is formed on the inner side when viewed from outside. By forming the recess 2b, the rigidity of the housing 2 can be further increased. A hole 2c for penetrating the crankshaft 51 is formed in the recess 2b. A hole 69a is formed on the side of the hole 2c, and is screwed into the screw hole 69 of the engine 50 from the lateral direction by the lateral bolt 41. . Here, in this embodiment, in addition to the four bolts 31 to 34 that are fixed from the vertical direction of the engine 50, the crankcase portion of the engine 50 is fixed by the lateral bolt 41 that is the fifth bolt. In addition, the engine 50 can be fixed to the housing 2 with good vibration characteristics.

  The recess 2b is covered with an oil pump cover 40 after an unillustrated oil pump is accommodated. The oil pump cover 40 is fixed to the housing 2 with three screws 42 through the crankshaft 51 through the hole 40a. Here, the screw 42 is screwed into a screw hole formed in the housing and does not contact the engine 50.

  FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram for explaining the effect of fixing the crankcase portion of the engine 50 by the lateral bolt 41. In the chain saw 1, when the engine 50 is driven to rotate the crankshaft 51 and the sprocket 43 is rotated through the centrifugal clutch, the saw chain 10 wound around the sprocket 43 and the guide bar 11 is rotated. This rotation cuts trees and branches. At this time, as a reaction force received from the saw chain 10, a force acts on the crankshaft 51 in the direction of the arrow 47, which becomes a force for moving the engine 50 in the direction of the arrow 48. When the force acts on the engine 50 in this way, it causes vibrations, and the housing 2 and the engine 50 flutter. In the present embodiment, the crankcase (53, 54) of the engine 50 is fixed in the direction parallel to the crankshaft by the lateral bolt 41 in consideration of the direction in which this force acts. Since the lateral bolt 41 is fixed to the recessed portion 2b of the housing 2, the engine side of the recessed portion 2b can be brought into good contact with the fixed portion of the crankcase (53, 54).

  The position where the lateral bolt 41 is provided is preferably fixed in a region between the crankshaft 51 and the bolt 19a in the front-rear direction. The vertical position of the horizontal bolt 41 is relatively free and should be arranged on the inner peripheral side of the flywheel 54 when viewed from the side. When compared with the winding range of the saw chain, the horizontal bolt 41 is positioned on the inner side. It may also be located outside. However, since the torque generated by the reaction force is large around the crankshaft 51, it should be relatively close to the crankshaft 51 and is particularly preferably inside the winding range of the saw chain. In this embodiment, the housing 2 is fixed at the position of the lateral bolt 41 because of the shape of the housing 2, but if possible, instead of the lateral bolt 41 or in addition to the bolt in the region 41b. It may be fixed. Further, the lateral bolt 41 may be fixed not only by a bolt but also by a nut or other known fixing means.

  In the present embodiment, the lateral bolt 41 is screwed into a fixing hole formed on the outer peripheral side of the right crankcase 52 of the crankcase. Even when viewed from the engine 50 side, it is fixed laterally on the outer peripheral side of the crankcase 52, so that the bolts 31 to 34 that are fixed vertically when viewed from above the chain saw 1 are attached to the rear side of the cylinder shaft 51. Since the lateral bolt 41 is fixed on the front side of the cylinder shaft 51, the engine 50 can be fixed to the housing 2 satisfactorily, and fluttering between the housing 2 and the engine 50 can be suppressed.

  FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing the arrangement of engine mounting holes in the housing 2. The upper two attachment holes 31 a and 32 a are not parallel to the axis of the crankshaft 51 when a straight line including these two points is drawn. Further, when the two lower mounting holes 33 a and 34 a draw a straight line including these two points, the straight line is not parallel to the axis of the crankshaft 51.

  Next, the engine 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 is a perspective view of the engine 50 as seen from the upper left front side, and FIG. 13 is a perspective view of the engine 50 as seen from the lower left rear side. The crankcase is a split type composed of a right crankcase 52 and a left crankcase 53, and the split surface is a surface perpendicular to the axis of the crankshaft 51. A crankshaft 51 as an output shaft protrudes from the right crankcase 52, and a flywheel 54 is attached to the tip of the crankshaft from the left crankcase 52. The right crankcase 52 and the left crankcase 53 are fixed by three bolts 65a, 65b, 65c via a gasket (not shown) between them. In order to threadably engage with these three bolts 65a, 65b, 65c, the right crankcase 52 is formed with a female thread portion.

  Furthermore, the crankcase is provided with two bolt holes 31 b and 32 b for fixing the engine 50 to the housing 2 on the upper side of the engine 50. The bolt hole 31 b is provided in the left crankcase 53, and the bolt hole 32 b is provided in the right crankcase 52. Similarly, two bolt holes 33 b and 34 b are provided on the lower side of the engine 50. The bolt hole 33 b is provided in the left crankcase 53, and the bolt hole 34 b is provided in the right crankcase 52. Further, the right crankcase 52 is provided with a screw hole 69 screwed with the lateral bolt 41, and a female screw is formed on the inner peripheral side thereof.

  The flywheel 54 is configured integrally with the fins, and a permanent magnet for generating high voltage electricity for ignition by the ignition coil 59 is provided on a part of the outer peripheral side. A clutch pawl for connecting to the starter is provided on the inner peripheral side of the fin. The high-voltage electricity generated by the ignition coil 59 is transmitted to the plug cap 60 by a high-voltage cord extending from the ignition coil 59, and is supplied to the ignition plug 61 (FIG. 7) via the plug cap 60.

Here, the positional relationship between the bolt holes 31b, 32b, 33b, and 34b will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 (1) is an enlarged view when the crankcase portion of the engine 50 placed horizontally is viewed from above, and (2) is an enlarged view when the crankcase portion of the engine 50 is viewed from below. It is. In (1), the two bolt holes 31b and 32b for fixing from the upper side of the housing 2 are disposed at positions asymmetric with respect to the split surface of the crankcase as shown in the figure. Also, if minus the upper bolt connection line 71 is a straight line in this drawing through the two bolt holes 31b, the center point of 32b, having a tilt angle theta ₁ constant with respect to the axis 70 of the crankshaft. Similarly, in FIG. 14 (2), the two bolt holes 33b and 34b for fixing from the upper side of the housing 2 are arranged at positions asymmetric with respect to the split surface of the crankcase as shown in the figure. The Two bolt holes 33b, when minus the lower bolt connection line 72 is a straight line passing through the center point of 34b, it has a constant inclination angle theta ₂ with respect to the axis 70 of the crankshaft.

  FIG. 14 (3) is a diagram showing the arrangement of the four bolt holes when viewed from above the housing 2. Here, the lower bolt connecting line 72 seems to be opposite to the direction of inclination in FIG. 14 (2). This is because (2) is a view from the lower side of the housing 2, whereas (3 ) Is a diagram when projected from the upper side, and the arrangement of both is not changed. As can be understood from (3), the four bolt holes are located between the axis 70 and the dividing line 73 of the cylinder 55 and the crankcases 52 and 53 in the direction of movement of the piston of the engine. Further, when viewed in the lateral direction, that is, in the axial direction of the crankshaft 51, it is included in the range between the lines 74a and 74b, which is the width of the crankcase. Furthermore, the inclination of the straight lines of the connecting lines 71 and 72 is opposite, and when the connecting line 71 is extended, it crosses the axis line 70 on the flywheel 54 side outside the width of the crankcase.

  Similarly, when the connecting line 72 is extended, it crosses the axis line 70 on the guide bar 11 side outside the width of the crankcase. The distance from the split surface of the crankcase to the four bolts is L1 on the upper side and L2 on the lower side, and is different between the upper side and the lower side. Further, the distances from the axis 70 to the respective bolt holes 31b, 32b, 34b, 33b are different. Then, if the four bolts shown in FIG. 14 (3) are connected in the sequence of 31b → 32b → 34b → 33b → 31b, a rectangular area is formed.

  When the upper bolt connection line 71 and the lower bolt connection line 72 are configured to extend parallel to the axis 70, when the crankshaft 51 is driven, the upper and lower bolt connection lines 71 and 72 are viewed from the side where the guide bar 11 is provided. A force is likely to be applied in the direction in which the engine 50 rotates with respect to the housing 2 with the bolt fixed portion as a fulcrum. Further, when the upper bolt connecting line 71 and the lower bolt connecting line 72 are inclined at the same angle with respect to the axis 70, when viewed from the side where the guide bar 11 is provided when the crankshaft 51 is driven. Thus, although the force in the direction in which the engine 50 rotates with respect to the housing 2 with the fixed portions of the upper and lower bolts as fulcrums can be reduced as compared with the above configuration, the engine 50 when viewed from above. The force in the direction of rotating with respect to the housing 2 is easily applied.

  In the present invention, as described above, since at least one of the upper bolt connecting line 71 and the lower bolt connecting line 72 is inclined with respect to the axis 70, the upper side is viewed from the side where the guide bar is provided. In addition, the force in the direction in which the engine rotates with respect to the housing can be reduced with the fixing portion by the lower bolt as a fulcrum, and any one of the connecting lines (first lines) is relative to the axis 70 The connecting line on the side (lower side) located on the opposite side of the inclined side (upper side) has a different angle with respect to the first line, so that the engine 50 when viewed from above is in relation to the housing 2. Thus, the force in the rotating direction can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, the upper bolt connecting line 71 and the lower bolt connecting line 72 are inclined in the opposite direction with respect to the axis 70, so that the engine when viewed from above is relative to the housing. Thus, the force in the rotating direction can be further reduced. In this embodiment, when the vibration characteristics were measured with such a bolt arrangement structure, good characteristics could be obtained in the chainsaw.

  As described above, a chain saw with good vibration characteristics can be realized by devising the position of the mounting bolt to the housing 2 of the engine 50. In this embodiment, the engine is fixed with bolts 31 to 34 having the same thickness and the same length. However, the bolts having different thicknesses and lengths are fixed according to the characteristics of the engine and the occurrence of vibration. You may make it do.

  Next, the detailed structure of the hook means will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 (1) is a diagram showing a state in which the hook 20 is housed. The U-shaped member 35 constituting the hook means includes an upper arm 35a and a lower arm 35b extending in parallel from the housing 2, and It is comprised from the connection part 35c which bridges and connects a rear-end part. The U-shaped member 35 is configured to extend to the rear of the housing, and is preferably manufactured by integral molding with the housing 2. Screw holes 36a are formed in the upper arm 35a, and screw holes 36b and 36c are formed in the lower arm 35b. FIG. 15B is a diagram showing a state in which the hook 20 is pulled out, and the hook 20 is firmly connected to the housing 2 when the bent portion of the hook 20 is engaged with the connecting portion 35c. The position where the U-shaped member 35 is formed is most preferably provided in a well-balanced position when the chainsaw 1 is lifted by the hook 20 and is provided in the vicinity of the position of the center of gravity in a plane perpendicular to the front-rear direction.

FIG. 15 (3) is a diagram showing the shape of the hook 20. The hook 20 is formed with a substantially circular ring portion 20e, a narrowed portion 20d is formed on the front side thereof, and the bent portion is bent upward as viewed in FIG. 15 (3) through two straight portions 20c. 20b are formed, the horizontal portion 20a of the above a short distance from the bent portion 20 b is formed. The hook 20 can be manufactured, for example, by bending a wire. At this time, the horizontal portion 20c may be formed so as to slightly open (the two straight portions are separated) as it goes in the direction of the bent portion 20b. If it does so, this hook 20 will exhibit a spring effect in the part of a circular ring | wheel, and has an effect which is urged | biased in the direction of the arrow in a figure. By attaching such a hook 20 on the shaped member 35 co, and below the upper arm portion 35a, against the upper side of the lower arm portion 35b, as these presses the linear portion 20 c of the hook 20 When the force is applied and the hook 20 is stored, rattling and loosening by the hook 20 can be effectively prevented. Incidentally, the linear portion 20 c by coming into contact with the housing when pushed, it is possible to perform the stopper role when moved forward (when retracted).

  FIG. 16 is another perspective view showing the shape of the U-shaped member 35. Here, as can be understood from FIG. 16A, a groove 37 for guiding the straight portion 20c of the hook 20 is formed on the upper side of the lower arm portion 35b. Further, as shown in FIG. 16B, a recess 38 is formed on the right side surface of the upper arm portion 35a. In addition, the thickness of the center part of the connection part 35c in the left-right direction is thinner than the upper arm part 35a and the lower arm part 35b, and the space which accommodates the hook 20 at the time of pressing with the pressing plate 21 is ensured. Therefore, the right side surface of the connecting portion 35c has a lower shape than the right side surfaces of the upper arm portion 35a and the lower arm portion 35b, and has a step shape. Similarly, as can be understood from FIG. 16 (3), the left side surface of the connecting portion 35c and the vicinity of the central portion in the vertical direction have a shape 39b that is recessed from the left side surfaces of the upper arm portion 35a and the lower arm portion 35b. ing.

  FIG. 17 is a perspective view for explaining the hook 20 attached state. The hook 20 is installed between the upper and lower arms 35 a and 35 b of the U-shaped member, and the right side is fixed by the pressing plate 21. The holding plate 21 is fixed to the lower arm 35 b by two screws 22. A screw 24 passes through the upper hole of the holding plate 21 via the damper 23 and the mounting portion 3a of the main handle 3, and is fixed to the upper arm 35a. That is, the upper arm 35a also serves as a function of the attachment portion of the main handle 3. With such a configuration, the number of parts for attachment can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.
