Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] A. Purpose of the Invention (1) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a jack storage device for jacking up a vehicle body in an automobile.

(2) Conventional technology Conventionally, a jack consisting of a fixed frame having a ground contact part, a lift frame having a vehicle body holder, and a lift mechanism that supports the lift frame so that it can be raised and lowered relative to the fixed frame is stored in the trunk room of the vehicle body. Those that have been developed are publicly known (for example, Jitsukaisho
(See Publication No. 58-3349).

(3) Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the conventional device described above, the jack holder provided on the reinforcing member of the vehicle body has a lower receiving portion on which the grounding part of the fixed frame of the jack is placed, and a vehicle body receiving portion of the lift frame. When storing the jack, it is necessary to move the heavy jack laterally into the space between the upper and lower receivers and install it from the side. Moving the jack requires a lot of effort and is inefficient, and even after it is installed, the jack tends to move laterally between the upper and lower supports, so the jack's lift frame must be powerfully lifted to remove the jack. It is necessary to securely clamp the upper and lower supports.

The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to provide a jack storage device for an automobile, which can solve all of the above-mentioned problems of conventional devices.

B. Structure of the invention (1) Means for solving the problem In order to achieve the above object, the invention provides a fixed frame having a ground contact part, a lift frame having a vehicle body support, and a structure in which the lift frame is attached to the fixed frame. In an automobile equipped with a jack consisting of a support mechanism that supports the vehicle so that it can be raised and lowered, a reinforcing member of the vehicle body is provided at the boundary between the passenger compartment and the trunk room, and a jack holder is attached to the part of this reinforcing member that faces into the trunk room. The jack holder includes a guide holding frame fixed to the reinforcing member, and a vertically open closed space that is fixed to the guide holding frame and cooperates with the frame to allow the jack to be inserted and removed from above. the guide holding frame is provided with a guide surface capable of guiding the insertion of the jack into the closed space, and a receiving part capable of engaging with the lower end of the fixed frame. Further, the tightening rod is provided with a support portion that can come into contact with the vehicle body receiver in order to cooperate with the receiver and hold the jack.

(2) Function When storing the jack in the jack holder, insert the jack from above into the vertically open closed space between the guide holding frame and the tightening rod, while the lower end of the fixed frame engages with the receiving part. It is sufficient to simply lower the jack using its own weight until the jack reaches the position, and in addition, during such work, the guide surface of the guiding and holding frame can be effectively used as a guide surface for guiding the jack.

Moreover, when the jack is inserted into the jack holder, part of the jack's own weight can be easily applied as lateral pressure to the contact area between the jack and the tightening rod, so that the jack can be easily moved in the lateral direction. It becomes difficult to move the target.

(3) Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to drawings. A trunk room 1 is formed at the rear of an automobile body B, and the trunk room 1 and the interior of a vehicle interior 2 are connected to each other. It is partitioned by the backrest 3a of the rear seat 3, and its open upper surface is opened and closed by a trunk lid 4 hinged to the vehicle body B.

At the top of the back of the backrest 3a of the rear seat 3, there is a
A rear tray 5, which forms part of the vehicle body B, extends laterally and is connected to the left and right side surfaces of the vehicle body B, and a floor member 6, which constitutes a part of the vehicle body B, extends laterally and is connected to the left and right side surfaces of the vehicle body B. It extends in the direction and is connected to the left and right side surfaces of the vehicle body B. Both upper and lower ends of a reinforcing member 8 extending diagonally up and down along the back surface of the backrest 3a in proximity to one rear wheel house 7 are connected to the rear tray 5 and the floor member 6. The reinforcing member 8 has a channel-shaped cross section and is configured to have sufficient rigidity, and its middle portion faces into the trunk room 1.

A jack holder H is attached to the intermediate portion of the reinforcing member 8, and this jack holder H includes the following:
Pandagraph style jack J is held. This jack J has a conventionally known structure, and is composed of a fixed frame 11 having a ground contact portion 11a, a lift frame 12, and a lift mechanism L that supports the lift frame 12 so as to be movable up and down relative to the fixed frame 11. The structure of the lift mechanism L is as follows. That is, the base ends of a pair of bending links 13 and 14 are pivotally supported on the fixed frame 11 and the lift frame 12 in a panda graph shape, and the screw portion 1 of the operating rod 15 is inserted through the bending part of one of the bending links 13.
5a is screwed into the bending portion of the other bending link 14. A jack handle connecting piece 16 is fixed to one end of the screw rod 15, and a jack handle (not shown) is detachably connected to this connecting piece 16. A vehicle body support 17 is attached to the top surface of the lift frame 12 to support the lower surface of the vehicle body B to be lifted when the jack J is used.

As clearly shown in FIG. 4, the jack holder H includes a substantially channel-shaped guide holding frame 9 fixed to the middle part of the reinforcing member 8, and a portal-shaped tightening rod 10 welded to the center part. The frame 9 and the tightening rod 10 define a vertically open closed space S into which the jack J can be freely inserted and removed from above. The guide holding frame 9 is made of a plate material such as a steel plate, and has upper and lower guide surfaces 9a and 9b on its upper surface for guiding the insertion of the jack J into the closed space S.
However, the lower end thereof is provided with a receiving part 9c having a concave cross section, and this receiving part 9c is formed in a shape to support the end of the fixed frame 11 of the jack J on the side opposite to the jack handle connecting piece 16. Further, the intermediate portion of the tightening rod 10 facing the guide holding frame 9 is a support portion 10a of the present invention that can come into contact with the vehicle body receiver 17 in order to fixedly hold the jack J in cooperation with the receiver portion 9c. Both sides of this support portion 10a are inclined outward toward the guide holding frame 9 side.

Next, to explain the case where the pandagraph type jack J is held in the jack holder H fixed to the reinforcing member 8, after opening the trunk lid 4,
The closed space between the guide holding frame 9 and the tightening rod 10 is moved while the jack J is placed along the upper and lower guide surfaces 9a and 9b with the jack handle connection piece 16 facing upward with its lift set to zero. When inserted into the jack S, the lower end of the jack J, that is, the end of the fixed frame 9 on the side opposite to the handle connecting piece 16, is supported by the receiving part 9c, and the vehicle body receiving part 17 The top surface of the bolt contacts the support portion 10a of the tightening rod 10. If the jack J is now lifted until its body support 17 is strongly pressed against the upper part of the tightening rod 10, the jack J will be firmly held by the jack holder H and will not wobble due to the running vibration of the car body B. There is no such thing.

Therefore, when the jack J is inserted and held in the jack holder H as described above, the jack J is moved in the opposite direction, that is, the jack handle connecting piece 16.
The shape, size, etc. of the guide holding frame 9 and the tightening rod 10 are appropriately set so that the guide holding frame 9 and the tightening rod 10 are not inserted with the guide and holding frame 9 facing downward.

Furthermore, in order to remove the jack J held in the jack holder H, the jack J is slightly contracted and the car body receiver 17 is slightly separated from the tightening rod 10, and the jack J can be taken out from the jack holder H as it is. .

C. Effects of the invention As described above, according to the invention, a jack consisting of a fixed frame having a ground contact part, a lift frame having a vehicle body holder, and a support mechanism that supports the lift frame so that it can be raised and lowered relative to the fixed frame. In the vehicle equipped with the vehicle, a reinforcing member of the vehicle body is provided at the boundary between the passenger compartment and the trunk room, a jack holder is attached to a portion of the reinforcing member facing into the trunk room, and the jack holder is fixed to the reinforcing member. A tightening rod is fixed to the guide holding frame and cooperates with the guide holding frame to define a vertically open closed space into which a jack can be inserted and removed from above. The guide holding frame is provided with a guide surface that can guide insertion of the jack into the closed space, and a receiving part that can be engaged with the lower end of the fixed frame, and the tightening rod is provided with a receiving part that can be engaged with the lower end of the fixed frame. Since a support part that can come into contact with the vehicle body holder is provided to hold the jack in cooperation with the jack, when storing the jack in the jack holder, the jack is
It is sufficient to insert the jack from above into the vertically open closed space between the guide holding frame and the tightening rod, and simply lower the jack using its own weight until the lower end of the fixed frame engages with the receiving part, and then, During such work, the guide surface of the guide holding frame can be effectively used as a guide surface for guiding the jack, and as a result, the jack can be stored in the fixed position of the jack holder extremely easily, quickly and easily. This can greatly contribute to improving the efficiency of storage operations. Moreover, when the jack is inserted into the jack holder, part of the jack's own weight can be easily applied as lateral pressure to the contact area between the jack and the tightening rod, so that the jack can be easily moved in the lateral direction. This makes it possible to make the support of the jack by the jack holder relatively stable, and therefore, it is possible to firmly clamp the jack to the jack holder by only slightly lifting the lift frame in the above-mentioned inserted state. .
