Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for combining a vehicle-mounted jack and a wheel stopper and storing the same in a trunk room of a vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional method for storing a vehicle-mounted jack and a wheel stopper will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10. Before explaining the storage method, the vehicle-mounted jack is shown in FIG. 7) (see December 1988, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., Service Weekly Issue No. 615, "Introduction of C33 type cars", page D-84).

First, the structure of a vehicle-mounted jack is shown in FIG. The vehicle-mounted jack 11 includes a ground plate 12 placed on a road surface and a toggle joint type lifting mechanism section 13.

The elevating mechanism 13 includes an engaging member 14 engaged with the bottom of the vehicle, four links 15a to 15d, and a screw shaft having a connecting portion 22 with an operating tool (not shown). By adjusting with 23, the engaging member 14 is moved up and down.

This jack 11 is shown in FIG. 6 when it is stored.
As shown in. That is, when the elevating mechanism 13 is folded during storage, the elevating mechanism 13 is in a substantially rod state.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), the wheel stopper 1 is formed by bending a single steel plate into an L-shape and connecting it from the contact ring portion 2 which is one surface portion and the pressure receiving portion 4 which is the other surface portion. Has become. A rounded portion 3 for improving the grounding property is provided at the end of the contact ring portion 2, and a non-slip corrugated portion 5 is provided at the end edge of the pressure receiving portion 4.

As shown in FIG. 7 (b), the wheel stopper 1 is used by inserting it between the wheel 6 and the road surface 7 in the posture shown in FIG. Then, the force from the wheel 6 is mainly received as a compressive force of the pressure receiving portion 4 as shown by an arrow A.

Next, the storage place of the jack secured in the trunk room of the vehicle will be described. This storage place is, for example, as shown in FIGS. 8, 9 and 10, the floor of the trunk room 30 which is the body compartment. It is provided on the side. That is, a recess 32 is provided at the end of the trunk floor 31 in the vehicle width direction, and the recess 32 is lowered.

The bracket 34 includes a base plate 35 spot-welded to the vertical wall surface 33, a rectangular frame-shaped pedestal part 36 that horizontally projects below the base plate 35, and a hook part that horizontally protrudes above the base plate 35. 37 and 37.

The on-vehicle jack 1 having the above-mentioned structure
By combining the wheel stopper 1 and the wheel stopper 1 as shown in FIG. 10, the wheel stopper 1 and the wheel stopper 1 are stored in a storage place provided in the trunk room 30 of the vehicle.

The procedure will be described. First, the elevating mechanism section 13
Is folded into a rod shape and the on-vehicle jack 11 is turned upside down. Then, the pair of wheel stoppers 1 of the pair of wheel stoppers 1 are hooked on the grounding plate 12 facing upward. In this position, the pressure contact portion 4 hanging below the wheel stopper 1,
The links 15c and 15d of the vehicle-mounted jack 11 are placed on the cradle portion 36 so that the lower end of the pressure contact portion 4 is inserted into the cradle portion 36 while being positioned on the board 35 side of the bracket 34.
Then, the connecting portion 22 is slightly rotated to mount the on-vehicle jack 1
A force is generated in 1 to fix the jack 11 and the wheel stopper 1 between the pedestal portion 36 and the hook portion 37, and the storage is completed.

[0012]

By the way, the on-vehicle jack 11 is often stored with one hand, and in particular, as described above, the storage area for the jack is the trunk room 3.
This tendency becomes stronger in the case where the bracket 34 for fixing is provided on the vertical wall surface 33 of the concave portion 32 provided at the end of the vehicle 0, which is offset to the end in the vehicle width direction.

However, in the conventional storing method, the wheel stopper 1 is simply attached to the ground plate 12 of the vehicle-mounted jack 11.
Since the wheel stopper 1 is stored just by placing it on the top, the wheel stopper 1 is easily displaced and falls. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, work is performed with one hand while pressing the wheel stopper 1 with the thumb. However, even then, the wheel stopper 1 is easily displaced and falls, and since one-handed work is performed in an unstable posture, a considerable grip force is required, and there is a problem that a large amount of labor is required for storage and removal.

The pressure receiving portion 4 of the wheel stopper 1 in the stored state.
Hangs under the vehicle-mounted jack 11, and the pedestal portion 36 of the bracket 34 must be structured to receive the end of the pressure receiving portion 4, and the bracket 34 must be attached to the vertical wall surface 33. Therefore, the strength and shape of the bracket 34 must be increased, and the weight of such a large bracket 34 and the large weights of the on-vehicle jack 11 and the wheel stopper 1 cause the vertical wall surface 33 of the bracket 34. Since it acts on the spot-welded portion, the number of spots must be increased to withstand this, resulting in an increase in work. Further, since the bracket 34 is large, it is difficult to insert a sealing gun around the bracket 34 to seal the vehicle body side.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle-mounted jack and a method for storing a wheel stopper which can be easily stored and removed, and which can reduce the weight and size of a bracket.

[0016]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention according to claim 1 provides a vehicle-mounted jack which can be folded into a substantially rod state, and a substantially L-shape by one surface portion and the other surface portion. A wheel stopper having a through hole through which the vehicle jack in the substantially rod state can be inserted in one surface portion, and the vehicle jack in the rod state is inserted into the through hole of the wheel stopper. It is characterized in that the other surface of the tool is put together with a vehicle-mounted jack so as to be integrated with each other, and the integrated both are accommodated in a bracket in a luggage compartment of a vehicle body.

According to a second aspect of the invention, there is provided the method for accommodating the on-vehicle jack and the wheel stopper according to the first aspect, wherein the vehicle body side bracket is provided on a vehicle body side floor surface,
It is characterized by comprising a lower bracket member supporting the both integrated from the lower side and an upper bracket member provided on a vertical wall surface on the vehicle body side adjacent to the floor surface and integrally supporting the both from the upper side.

[0018]

According to the first aspect of the invention, the substantially rod-shaped on-vehicle jack is inserted into the through hole of the one surface portion of the wheel stopper, and the other surface portion of the wheel stopper is attached to the on-vehicle jack so that both are integrated. And can be stored in a bracket on the vehicle body side.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the other surface of the wheel stopper is attached to the on-vehicle jack when integrated, the lower bracket member provided on the floor surface supports the flat surface from below. It will be good. Further, the upper bracket member provided on the vertical wall surface only needs to support the on-vehicle jack and the wheel stopper from the upper side, and the total weight of both is not applied to the upper bracket member.

[0020]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 3 show a procedure of combining the on-vehicle jack 11 and the pair of wheel stoppers 51 and storing them in the trunk room. The on-vehicle jack 11 is the same as that shown in FIG. 6, but the wheel stopper 50 is shown in FIG.
It is different from the one. This will be described first with reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5. A rectangular through hole 60 is formed in the wheel contact portion 51 of the wheel stopper 50 that abuts on the wheel 6. The inner circumference of the through hole 60 is
A plate portion having an appropriate width that can support the surface pressure received from the wheel 6 is left around the through hole 60 so as to follow the contour of the contact ring portion 51. The reason why the through hole 60 is formed in the wheel contact portion 51 that contacts the wheel 6 is that the force from the wheel 6 is mainly received by the pressure receiving portion 4 as described with reference to FIG. 7B.
This is because the force acting on the ring contact portion 51 is considerably smaller than that on the pressure receiving portion 4. Since other configurations are the same as those of the conventional wheel stopper 1 shown in FIG. 7, the same parts are designated by the same reference numerals and duplicate description will be omitted.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the trunk room 30
In the inner concave portion 32, a lower bracket member 71 and an upper bracket member 72 which form a bracket 70 on the vehicle body side.
And are provided. The lower bracket member 71 is fixed to the floor surface 32a in the recess 32 by spot welding, for example, and has a substantially flat shape. Further, the lower bracket member 71 is provided with engaging portions 71 a and 71 b that engage with the widthwise edge portion of the wheel stopper 50. The upper bracket member 72 is fixed to the vertical wall surface 33 on the vehicle body side adjacent to the floor surface 32a by, for example, spot welding. In this upper bracket member 72,
A support member 72a that supports the on-vehicle jack 11 from above is provided.

The housing of the on-vehicle jack 11 and the wheel stopper 50 is carried out as shown in FIGS.

First, as shown in FIG. 1, a wheel stopper 50
Are combined with the on-vehicle jack 11. That is, the in-vehicle jack 11 is folded, and one end of the substantially rod-shaped lifting mechanism portion 13 is inserted into the through holes 60 of the pair of wheel stoppers 50 that are stacked. Then, the ground plate 12 of the vehicle-mounted jack 11 is placed on the pressure receiving portion 4 of the wheel stopper 50. In this state, the on-vehicle jack 11 and the pair of wheel stoppers 50 are integrated.

Therefore, when the on-vehicle jack 11 and the wheel stopper 50 thus combined are housed in the trunk room of the vehicle, the end of the elevating mechanism 13 on the side through which the wheel stopper 50 is inserted is shown in FIG. No need to worry about pulling out the wheel stopper 50 even if you hold it with one hand as in 2. And the ground plate 1
Put it in the trunk with the posture shown in Figure 2 with the 2 side down,
As shown in FIG. 3, the bracket 70 is mounted between the lower bracket member 71 and the upper bracket member 72.

That is, the pressure receiving portion 4 of the wheel stopper 50 under the ground plate 12 is placed on the lower bracket member 71, and the engaging member 14 of the vehicle-mounted jack 11 is placed under the supporting portion 72a of the upper bracket member 72. Position it. In this state, the connecting portion 22 of the vehicle-mounted jack 11 is slightly rotated to generate a vertical force, and the lower bracket member 71
The on-vehicle jack 11 and the wheel stopper 50 are sandwiched and fixed between the upper bracket member 72 and the upper bracket member 72. The wheel stopper 50 side is provided with engaging portions 71a and 71b of the lower bracket 71.
The lateral deviation is regulated by.

When the work is performed in this manner, first, the on-vehicle jack 11 and the wheel stopper 50 are combined into an integrated form, so that they can be stored and removed easily without being misaligned when held with one hand. . Further, when using the on-vehicle jack 11, the wheel stopper 50 is also used at the same time, so that it is convenient and portable to carry it integrally.

A wheel stopper 5 is provided on the bottom side of the vehicle-mounted jack 11.
Since the flat pressure receiving portion 4 of 0 is located, the lower bracket member 71 of the bracket 70 can be made substantially flat and small. Further, as shown in this embodiment, since the flat lower bracket member 71 can be directly installed on the floor surface 32a of the recess 32, the strength of the upper bracket member 72 supported by the vertical wall surface 33 can be reduced, and the weight is light. It is possible to reduce the size and size. Further, as a result, the welding strength of the upper bracket 72 to the vertical wall surface 33 can be reduced, and the amount of work such as the number of spot welding can be reduced. Further, since the bracket 70 is downsized, the welding gun can be easily inserted around the bracket 70, and the sealing work on the vehicle body side around the bracket 70 can be facilitated. Further, since the wheel stopper 50 has the through hole 60, the wheel stopper 50 itself is also lightweight,
Further weight reduction of the entire bracket 70 can be realized.

The bracket 70 is the trunk 3
It can also be attached to the inner surface of the rear fender panel inside 0.

[0030]

As described above, according to the present invention of claim 1, one end of the on-vehicle jack is passed through the through hole provided in the wheel stopper, so that both can be integrated. Therefore, there is no concern that the wheel stopper will shift and drop during storage and removal work, and storage and removal can be easily performed by holding the end portion of the vehicle-mounted jack with one hand.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the other side of the wheel stopper can be housed in the luggage compartment with the other surface as the bottom, the bracket is the upper bracket member and the lower bracket member, and the lower bracket member is the lower bracket member. It becomes possible to install it on the floor surface and mount the on-vehicle jack and the wheel stopper on it. Also, since the lower bracket member is installed on the floor surface, the weight of the on-vehicle jack or the like can be received on the floor surface via the lower bracket member, and how the load is applied to the upper bracket member on the vertical wall surface. Can be made smaller. Therefore, the welding strength of the vertical wall of the upper bracket member can be made smaller than before, and the welding work can be reduced. In addition, the weight and size of the bracket can be reduced, and the sealing work around the bracket becomes easy.
