SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve all or all of the problems and difficulties described above, in particular to a bracket for fixing a carryall bar or the like to a vehicle. Is to provide.

Another problem to be solved by the present invention is to fix a carryall bar or the like to an automobile,
It is to provide a diversified and practical bracket.

Another problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a bracket which is relatively easy to manufacture and competitive in price, particularly for fixing a carryall bar or the like to a vehicle.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above technical problems, according to the present invention, there is provided a bracket having the following structure, in particular, for fixing a carryall bar or the like to an automobile.

That is, this bracket is characterized by having a connecting means to the roof of the automobile. The connecting means has a protrusion connecting the supporting means of the carry bar. The supporting means includes a storage portion into which the connecting protrusion is inserted, and at least one of the storage portions has a mounting hole. The mounting holes are used to connect the supporting means and the connecting means to each other.

[0010]

EXAMPLES Examples of the present invention will be described in detail below.

As shown in the figure, the bracket for fixing the carryall bar or the like to the automobile has a connecting means to the roof of the automobile. This connecting means has a plurality of projections which connect the supporting means of the carryall bar 1.

The support means includes a plurality of storage portions into which the connecting protrusions are inserted. And at least that one
The two compartments have mounting holes. This mounting hole is used to fix the supporting means and the connecting means to each other.

The supporting means includes an upper cradle 2. A carryall bar 1 is inserted into the cradle. The cradle is connected to the support body 3. The support body 3 has a pair of storages 4 and 5 into which the protrusions are inserted. The accommodating portions 4 and 5 are located on both sides with respect to the central accommodating portion 6, and the central accommodating portion 6 has mounting holes 7 and 8. The nut 9 screwed onto the locking means 12 can be inserted into the hole 7. The accommodating portions 4, 5, 6 are shaped so as to fit the protrusions.

The holes 7 and 8 have a notch 10, and the holes 7 and 8 are opened by the notch 10. A female screw 12 is inserted into the other mounting hole 11 for centering the connecting means.

The cradle 2 has a hole 1 on its semicircular surface.
Have three. The hole 13 is a carryall bar 1.
Is a hole for passing an Allen screw and the like used to fix the to the upper cradle 2.

The through hole 14 is located in a part of the support main body portion 3 that covers the mouth of the cradle 2 and connects the bar 1 to the bracket.

The support body 3 forms an obtuse angle with the carrier bar 1, as is clearly shown in FIGS.
Are formed. The ribs 15 reinforce the support body 3.

In the first embodiment, the connecting means includes a flat base 16. This base has a plurality of protrusions 17, 18, for fitting with the respective accommodation sheets 4, 5, 6.
Has 19.

The projecting portion 18 has a through hole 20 corresponding to the accommodation holes 7 and 8, and a storage portion 21 into which the end portion 23 of the pulling member 22 is inserted. The pulling member 22 serves to apply tension between the brackets connected to the ends of the carryall bar 1.

The protrusions 17 and 18 are shaped like fingernails and are located on both sides of the central protrusion 18. The central protruding portion 18 has a mounting hole 20 into which a locking means is inserted, and the mounting hole 20 is provided with a storage slot 2 through a connection slot 25.
Connected to 1.

In order to fix the bracket to the motor vehicle, the jaw-like member 27 comprises a screw 26 which constitutes a fixing means.
It is fixed to the bracket through and serves to fix the bracket to the car.

The assembly of the above device is as follows.
After the bracket has been assembled with the relevant members, the bar 1 is fixed there and tension is applied to the traction member 22,
The base is centered by the female screw 12.
Further, it is necessary to arrange the base 16 in advance at a predetermined position on the roof of the automobile. Next, Carryall
Fixing the respective jaws 27 for fixing the bar 1 to the brackets on the motor vehicle.

In the second embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5, 6 and 7, the connecting means has a substantially wedge-shaped body 28,
The one end 29 has protrusions 30, 31, 32. The projecting portions 30, 31, 32 are adapted to fit in the storage portions 4, 5, 6. The projecting portion 31 has a receiving hole 7,
8 has a through hole 33 corresponding to 8. The other end 34 of the body 28 is tapered so that it can be inserted into a drip rail of an automobile.

The protrusions 30 and 32 are shaped like fingernails and are located on both sides of the central protrusion 31.

The body 28 has an opening 35 for inserting the engaging member 36 in the center thereof. The engagement member 36 is
It is for installing a sheath 37 for protecting the tapered end portion 34. The sheath 37 is a flap 38
Have. The sheath 37 is folded on the vehicle so that it is not damaged by the jaws 39 used to secure the bracket to the vehicle.

The jaw-like member 39 is fixed to the bracket by screws 40. The screw 40 is screwed with the nut 9.

The assembling method will be briefly described below.
After the bracket is assembled with the two above members,
The respective members are centered by a female screw 12.
After the carry-all bar 1 is fixed to the bracket, its end 34 is inserted into the drip rail of the automobile, and the flap 38 attached to the sheath 37 is bent on the vehicle body. After that, each jaw-like member 39 is fixed to each bracket through the screw 40.

An advantage of the present invention is that it comprises a bracket for fixing the bar 1 to a motor vehicle, which bracket is made up of two different parts. That is, one part is general and can be fixed directly to the bar 1 and the other part has various embodiments to allow the bar 1 to be adapted to different types of motor vehicles.

In practice, when moving the same bar between two different cars, it is convenient to replace the lower part only.

From a construction point of view, there is savings in both material and mold aspects. In fact, the bracket is modular, the top of the bracket conforms to the standard, and the bottom can be modified in any way. The bottom is the part that is physically on top of the car.

The present invention achieves the intended objects and objects by constructing effective selection means in the bracket used for the known carryall bar.

In practice, the material and dimensional structure can be appropriately selected as needed.
