Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a ski carrier mounted on the roof of an automobile.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, when a ski is carried by an automobile, a ski carrier is mounted on the roof in the vehicle width direction and the ski is fixed to the ski carrier. As shown in FIG. 6, a ski carrier 1 used for carrying skis is integrally arranged on the front end side and the rear end side of the roof, and each of them has a carrier body 2 and a carrier body 2 extending in the vehicle width direction. 2 and one ski mounting portion 3 provided on each side of the ski mounting portion 2.

The carrier body 2 is, for example, as shown in the figure, provided with housings 5 and 5 on both sides of one bar 4 through which the bar 4 penetrates and the movement of which is adjustable in the longitudinal direction thereof. Each of the housings 5 is provided with a lower end leg portion 50 that comes into contact with the roof a, and a hook 51 that is locked to a side edge of the roof a projects from the outer edge side of the lower end leg portion 50. A plurality of ski mounting portions 3 are located on the through-hole portion 52 of the housing 5, and the ski mounting portion 3 is provided with a ski plate receiver that projects upward from the upper surface of the housing 5 to form a recess 30. A ski retainer 32 is pivotally attached to one end of the ski 31, and the ski retainer 32 is hooked on the ski disposed on the ski receiver 31 and is retained on the ski receiver 31 side.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, since the conventional ski carrier described above has a large overall size, especially a long size, it requires a large space for storage and transportation when it is stored in a cardboard case or the like as a product, and the storage fee and freight charge are required. There is a problem that it becomes expensive. On the other hand, users of ski carriers will not use it during the off-season of skiing, so they will have to remove this ski carrier from the roof for storage, but again, as with the above, it requires a large storage space and is not used. There is a problem that the ski carrier occupies a large space for a long time.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention has an object to make the ski carrier compact during the distribution process of the ski carrier and when the ski carrier is not used, and the ski carrier itself and the case for storing the ski carrier are occupied. The purpose is to reduce the space used.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and is to be mounted on the roof of an automobile in the vehicle width direction, and has ski attachment portions on both sides of the carrier body in the vehicle width direction. In a ski carrier, the above-mentioned problem is solved by providing a ski carrier characterized in that the carrier main body is dividedly connected at a central portion.

Another aspect of the invention is a ski carrier that is mounted on a roof of an automobile in the vehicle width direction, and has ski mounting portions on both sides of the carrier body in the vehicle width direction. In the ski carrier, the carrier body is provided so as to be bendable at a central portion thereof. The ski carrier is provided to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0008]

[Action]

 In the first invention, the ski carrier can be divided into two parts, each of which has a size that is easy to handle, and when these are arranged side by side, the size is compact as a whole, and the storage case has a long size. Will not have to prepare. Also, in the second invention, as in the above, the entire shape becomes compact by changing from the long state to the folded state.

[0009]

【Example】

 Next, the present invention will be described in detail based on the embodiment shown in FIGS. It should be noted that the same parts as those of the conventional example shown in FIG. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment. In the ski carrier 1 of the first embodiment, the bar 4 which is the central part 2a of the carrier body 2 is connected so that the bar 4 can be divided into two parts. Due to the division from the parts, the entire ski carrier 1 can be divided into two. In the central portion of the bar 4, a guide body 4b arranged at the end of the half bar 4a is provided so as to be fitted into the end of the other half bar 4c, and the guide body 4b is fitted therein. By inserting, the spring-like locking claws 4d provided in the ends of the bar halves 4c are locked in the locking holes 4e located on the lower surface of the guide body 4b, and the bar halves 4a, 4c are inserted. Are connected. In order to separate the bar halves 4a and 4c, the locking claw 4d may be pulled to release the locking in the locking hole 4e and the guide body 4b may be pulled out.

Each of the ski carriers 1 divided into two by dividing the bar 4 described above has a size which is easy to handle, and when the ski carrier 1 is to be housed in a case or the like, for example, the ski carriers 1 are arranged as shown in FIG. This results in a compact size that is easy to handle as a whole and a small case.

4 and 5 show a second embodiment. The ski carrier 1 of this embodiment is of a type in which the carrier body 2 can be folded in half from the central portion 2a. That is, at the central portion of the bar 4 which is the central portion 2a of the carrier body 2, the bar 4 is divided into two half bars 4f and 4g, and the half bars 4f and 4g are connected via a hinge 4h. The carrier body 2 can be folded in two by this binge 4h, and the overall shape of the ski carrier 1 becomes compact. Therefore, as in the above-described embodiment, the case where this is housed can be small.

The ski carrier in the above-described first and second embodiments includes a carrier body of a type in which two housings having ski mounting portions are arranged so as to penetrate both sides of the bar. Although shown as an example, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. That is, the present invention can be applied to various types of carrier bodies, as long as they can be dividedly connected at the center portion of the carrier body or can be bent at the center portion. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, like a ski carrier corresponding to the roof shape of a high-roof wagon vehicle, bars (extendable type) 4 are bent on both sides, and a housing 5 is provided from this bent portion to the end. In the carrier body 2 of the type, similarly to the above, the center portion 2a of the carrier body 2, that is, the center portion of the bar 4 can be dividedly connected or can be provided so as to be bent. Also, as shown in FIG. 7, even if the carrier body 2 is constructed by attaching the bars 4i to both sides of the bar 4 as shown in FIG. 7, it is possible to connect or bend the carrier body 2 at the center portion thereof. It can be applied to the carrier body with various variations such as connecting.

[0013]

[Effect of the device]

 INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY As described above, the present invention is a ski carrier which is mounted on the roof of an automobile in the vehicle width direction and has ski mounting portions on both sides of the carrier body in the vehicle width direction. The carrier body is connected so that it can be divided at the center, and in another invention, the carrier body is provided so as to be bendable at the center, so that a ski carrier that is long when mounted is The product can be stored in a case in a compact state during the distribution stage or storage in the warehouse, which increases the number of products per unit space and reduces freight and storage costs. Also, the case will be of a compact size, making it easier to handle at the distribution stage and reducing the cost of the case. That.

Similarly, on the user side, by dividing or bending when not in use, the overall shape becomes a compact size that is easy to handle, and there is no need to secure a large storage space, which is excellent in practicality. It has a great effect.
