Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a carrier for mounting skis on the roof of an automobile.

(Prior art and its problems) Conventionally, a pair of supports have a ski holding portion on the upper surface and a reinforcing rod inside, a relay rod slidably inserted into the supports, and an outer end of the supports. an engaging piece that connects an inner end to the outer end of the support and engages an outer end of the vehicle roof; and a connection that is inserted through an opening provided in the outer end surface of the support and provided inside the outer end of the support. A ski carrier has been put into practical use that includes a bolt that tightens and connects the inner end of the engaging piece and the engaging piece.

However, since the reinforcing rod and the members constituting the connecting portion are formed separately and attached to predetermined positions, the number of parts increases, resulting in high costs, and it takes time and effort to assemble the carrier. However, there is also a problem in terms of the strength of the support.

The object of the invention is primarily to provide a ski carrier with which these problems can be solved by simple means.

(Means for Solving Problems) The present invention includes a pair of supports having a ski holding portion on the upper surface and a reinforcing rod inside, a relay rod slidably inserted into the supports, and a pair of supports having a ski holding portion on the upper surface and a reinforcing rod inside. an engaging piece that connects the inner end to the outer end and engages the outer end with the outer part of the vehicle roof; In the ski carrier, the outer end of the reinforcing rod is extended to the vicinity of the inside of the outer end of the support, in the ski carrier including a bolt that tightens and connects the provided connecting portion and the inner end of the engaging piece. The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by bending the parts and providing the connecting part integrally.

(Example) The present invention will be explained based on the illustrated example.
It is as follows.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, the carrier 1 consists of a pair of synthetic resin supports 2 and a metal relay rod 3 slidably inserted into these supports with a C-shaped groove in cross section (see FIG. 3). It is equipped with The support body 2 has a plurality of ski holding parts 7 consisting of a pair of protruding walls 4, a tightening band 5 and a locking part 6 of the band, an opening 8 on the outer end surface, and an opening on the upper surface inside the outer end. A bolt guide tube 9 that hangs downward is provided. Further, the support body 2 has a reinforcing rod 10 made of metal fixed to its inner lower surface and having a length extending substantially over the entire length of the support body 2.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the reinforcing rod 10 is
Wall portions 11 bent upward on both sides; fixing portions 12 bent upward and further outward at the inner end;
A connecting part 13 bent downward at the outer end and cut upward at the center thereof, a fixed part 14 remaining by the cutting and bending, and a second connecting part which is further bent outward from the connecting part 13. 15 are provided. The fixed part 12 has a sliding guide hole 16 of the relay rod 3 and a screw hole 17, and the connecting parts 13 and 15 have screw holes 18 and 19.
In addition, each of the fixing parts 14 is provided with a through hole 20. In addition, through holes 21 and 22 are provided near the inner and outer ends of the flat surface of the reinforcing rod 10, and a portion is cut out near the through hole 21 to guide the sliding of the relay rod 3. Piece 2
3 are provided for each. These reinforcement rods 10
As shown in Fig. 2, the relay rod 3 is inserted into the guide hole 16.
with the guide piece 23 positioned in the groove of the relay rod, screw the screw 24 through the screw hole 17 to the inner end of the support 2, and screw the screw (not shown) through the through holes 20, 22. 2) are fixed by screwing them onto the corresponding portions of the support body 2 facing each other.
The relay rod 3 is fixed by screwing and tightening a nut 26 onto a bolt 25 which is exposed from the through hole 21 of the reinforcing rod 10 into the groove of the relay rod.

A connecting portion 28 with a bent inner end of an engaging piece 27 is placed opposite to the connecting portion 13, and an engaging portion 31 with a bent outer end is engaged with a side end of the vehicle roof. Bolt 30 from through hole 29 provided in
By screwing into the screw hole 18 of the connecting portion 13 and tightening, the engaging piece 27 is slid inward and fixed.

The outer end of the support 2 is composed of an outer end molded integrally with the support 2 and a cover 32 fitted over the outer end. The cover 32 has an open inner end surface and a bottom surface, a recessed part 33 for removing the engagement piece 27 at the lower end of the outer end surface, and a through hole 34 on the upper surface. The fitted state is fixed by screwing the bolt 35 from the through hole 34 into the screw hole 19 in a state where the end is fitted and the through hole 34 is aligned with the guide tube 9 and the screw hole 19. It is set as.

In addition, numeral 36 in the figure indicates a seat plate at the lower end of the support body 2 and the cover 32.

(Effects of the invention) According to the invention, the reinforcing rod is fixed inside the support over almost its entire length, and the connecting portion is to be connected by tightening the engagement piece to the outer end of the reinforcing rod with a bolt. Since it is integrally formed with the support, the entire support can be reinforced with the reinforcing rod, compared to a conventional carrier in which the connecting portion is fixed separately from the support, and the parts can be reinforced with the reinforcing rod. The number can be reduced to reduce costs, and the support is extremely easy to assemble.

The relay rod is inserted into a guide hole provided at the inner end of the reinforcing rod, so even if the relay rod swings up and down or from side to side when attaching or removing the ski carrier, the synthetic resin support will not be distorted. It will not cause any damage.

In addition, when the outer end of the support body is composed of an integrally molded outer end and a cover that fits over the outer end as in the example, it is possible to make both of them different colors. This not only improves the appearance of the carrier, but also completely covers the tightening mechanism including the connecting portion to prevent the tightening mechanism from rusting due to rainwater, etc. can.
