Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention indicates the left corner of the front bumper attached to the vehicle body (for right-hand drive vehicles).
Regarding the device that removably attaches the lead pole to the left corner of the front bumper, which is convenient for checking the width of the vehicle when parking or parking it in the garage, it prevents the lead pole from swinging due to the water pressure of the car wash and causing damage to the car body. It is an object of the present invention to provide an attaching/detaching device which can extremely easily attach a lead pole.

(Prior Art and Problems) Conventionally, this type of lead pole has been fixed to the front bumper with screws or the like.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, a base 5 is provided with a plurality of screw insertion holes 2 drilled in the left corner of the front bumper 1 and a lead pole 4 attached thereto via a mounting plate 3 that contacts the back surface of the bumper 1. It is fixed to the surface of the bumper 1 by tapping screws 6 passing through the screw insertion holes 2, and then the bumper 1 is attached to the vehicle body.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, there is also one that is fixed to the bumper 1 using a tapping screw 7 that passes through a base 5 placed on the bumper 1.

These conventional lead poles 4 all have screws 6,
Since the reed pole 4 is fixed to the bumper 1 by the reed pole 7, when washing the car body, the reed pole 4 often swings due to the washing water pressure and collides with the car body, causing damage to the car body. Cover the outer periphery of the lead pole 4 with a protective tube, or tighten the screws 6 and 7.
The base 5 was removed from the bumper 1 without removing the bumper 1, but with the fixing means shown in Fig. 1, it is necessary to remove the bumper 1 from the vehicle body, which is troublesome and reduces work efficiency. It was hot.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention consists of a mounting base fixed to the left corner of the front bumper, and a lead pole that can be attached to and detached from the mounting base by wedge-fitting the upper and lower surfaces of the mounting base. A locking recess is provided in the lower edge of the mounting base, a spring-loaded locking body is rotatably provided on the base, and the locking body is attached to the mounting base. The engaging piece that locks into the locking recess and the push button that releases the lock are molded into one piece, and the lead pole can be installed by sliding the base into the mounting base by wedge-fitting. , it is automatically locked at the fully inserted position, and displacement in the front, back, left and right directions relative to the mounting base is prevented by wedge fitting and locking, and to remove the lead pole, push up the push button to release the lock. All you have to do is pull the base out of the mounting base.
All can be easily performed with one hand.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Note that the same parts as in the conventional example are given the same reference numerals.

In FIG. 1, 1 indicates the left corner of the front bumper attached to the vehicle body (the material of the front bumper 1 may be metal, rubber, or synthetic resin), and the bumper 1 has a mounting base 8 made of synthetic resin. It is fixed with tapping screws 9.

The mounting base 8 has an opening 8a at one end, and slopes 8b are formed in the longitudinal direction on the upper and lower outer surfaces of the mounting surface to the bumper 1, and a recess 8c is formed on the other surface. and the lower edge 8d of the recess 8c
A locking recess 8e is formed in a part of the hole.

FIG. 2 shows a base 10 made of synthetic resin, which includes an upper wall 10a, an outer wall 10b, and a lower wall 10c.
The lead pole 4 is fitted into one side of the upper wall 10a so that its position can be adjusted in any direction.
Slanted surfaces 10a 1 and 10c ₁ are formed in the longitudinal direction of the opening edge of the lower wall 10c to be slidably fitted (wedge fitted) to the sloped surfaces _8b formed on the upper and lower outer surfaces of the mounting base 8. .

Therefore, a lock body 1 made of synthetic resin is provided on the outer wall 10b.
The base of the locking body 11 is rotatably supported by a shaft, and an engagement piece 11a is formed to protrude from the tip of the locking body 11, and a push button 11b is formed to protrude from the lower surface of the locking body 11. .

Reference numeral 12 denotes a pressure spring stretched between the upper wall 10a of the base 10 and the locking body 11;
2, the lock body 11 is urged downward, and the push button 11
b is an opening 10 bored in the lower wall 10c of the base 10.
c ₂ and extends below the lower wall 10c.

Next, a method for attaching and detaching the base 10 with the lead pole attached to the mounting base 8 fixed to the left corner of the front bumper 1 will be explained.

The opening of the base 10 shown in FIG.
The base 10 is attached to the upper and lower walls 10a, 10a and 10b of the mounting base 8 on the inclined surfaces 8b formed on the upper and lower outer surfaces of the mounting base 8 from the left to the right as shown in FIG.
The inclined surfaces 10a ₁ and 10c ₁ formed on 10c are fitted together and slidably inserted.

At this time, the engagement piece 11a of the locking body 11 is attached to the mounting base 8.
The base 10 rides on the lower edge 8d of the base 10 against the push spring 12 (the push button 11b is also displaced upward).
When the is completely inserted into the mounting base 8, the engaging piece 11
The push button a falls and locks into a locking recess 8e formed in the lower edge 8d of the mounting base 8 due to the pressing force of the push spring 12, and the push button 11b projects downward (see FIG. 3).

Therefore, the base 10 does not come off in front of the front bumper 1 due to the mutual inclined surface fitting (wedge fit) with the mounting base 8, and the locking body 11 and the mounting base 8 lock the base 10 to the front bumper 1. It does not come off even in the left and right directions.

On the other hand, the base 10 can be removed with one hand.
0 and push up the push button 11b with your fingertips as appropriate.
What is necessary is to release the engagement between the engagement piece 11a and the engagement recess 8e and pull it out to the left.

(effect) The present invention has the following effects due to the above configuration.

(a) The base is attached to the mounting base fixed to the left corner of the front bumper by a wedge-fit sliding insertion operation, and the locking body is automatically locked to the mounting base at the fully inserted position. Therefore, the reed pole can be attached very easily with one hand, and it will not come off due to vibrations during driving.

(b) To remove the base from the mount, all you have to do is grasp the base with one hand, push up the unlocking push button, and pull it out, making it extremely easy to remove the lead pole.
