Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a television receiver equipped in a bus of a bus, equipment for passenger services such as a refrigerator, and a transport case for moving articles such as food and drinks for passengers back and forth in the vehicle.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a television receiver as an equipment for passenger service equipped in a car such as a sightseeing bus. As shown in FIG. 6, this television receiver 1 is fixed to a position above the driver's seat of the bus 2 so that passengers seated on the seat 3 can watch TV images in the seated posture. Has become.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, since the television receiver 1 is fixed above the driver's seat, it is often annoying to passengers when it is not shown. In particular, depending on the seating position of the passenger, the forward visibility is obstructed. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a carrier case that can easily move passenger service articles such as a television receiver installed in the interior of a bus in the front-rear direction of the bus. And

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a rail is provided in a substantially central portion of a ceiling of a bus from a front portion to a rear portion, a storage case movably suspended on the rail, and a rail and a storage case. And a driving means which is provided between the driving means and moves the storage case.

[0005]

[Action]

 The transport case moves inside the vehicle along the rails provided on the ceiling of the bus by the driving means, and transports the articles stored in the storage case in the front or rear direction of the bus.

[0006]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 and 2 show a transport case of the present invention, in which a storage case 5a of a transport case 5 is movably suspended on a rail 4 provided at a substantially central portion of a ceiling of a bus 2. As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of rail mounting brackets 7 are provided at a predetermined interval from the front part to the rear part of the bus 2 at the center of the inner panel 6 on the ceiling of the bus 2. A long rail 4 having a flat C-shaped cross section is fixedly mounted on the bracket 7 from the front row to the rear row of the seat 3 with its opening facing downward.

The carrying case 5 includes, for example, a housing case 5a capable of housing the television receiver 1, and a column 5b is fixed to the center of the upper surface of the housing case 5a. An axle 5c is rotatably supported on the upper end of the column 5b, and wheels 5d, 5d with tires are attached to both sides of the axle 5c. A motor 5e with a brake is connected to the axle 5c via a speed reduction mechanism, and the axle 5c and the wheels 5d, 5d are rotated by driving the motor 5e. The wheels 5d and 5d are housed in the rail 4, so that the housing case 5a can be hung on the rail 4 with the screen of the television receiver 1 facing the passengers.

Further, a current collector (not shown) is provided between the rail 4 and the axle 5c, and the motor 5e is driven in the forward direction by operating a switch arranged near the seat 3 in the front row. Alternatively, it can be controlled in the opposite direction. The mounting portion of the rail 4 is covered with a ceiling trim 8 so as not to impair the appearance inside the vehicle. The carrying case 5 is configured as described above and operates as follows.

The storage case 5a in which the television receiver 1 is stored is moved to the upper display position of the driver's seat shown by the solid lines in FIGS. 1, 2 and 4 when the television is displayed. Then, when the switch is operated after the screening is finished, the motor 5e rotates forward, and the wheels 5d and 5d with tires attached to both sides of the axle 5c rotate to move the rail 4 inside the bus of the bus. The storage case 5a, which is run backward, is suspended from the rail 4 and moves from the television display position to the retracted position shown by the two-dot chain line in the rear of FIGS. As a result, the television receiver 1 housed in the housing case 5a is moved to the position shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 4 at the rear of the bus that does not interfere with the sight of passengers.

In addition, when the television receiver 1 is moved to the screening position when the television is displayed, when the switch is operated, the motor 5e rotates in the reverse direction so that the wheels 5d and 5d move toward the front of the bus. The storage case 5a moves from the retracted position at the rear of the bus shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIGS. 1 and 2 to the TV showing position at the front shown by the solid line in FIGS. 1 and 2.

Although the transport case 5 for moving the television receiver 1 for passengers in the bus has been described in the above-mentioned embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the television receiver 1 described above, and another hot refrigerator for passenger service, for example, may be used. The items stored in the warm refrigerator may be distributed to the passengers who sit on the seats 3 as appropriate, for example, as shown in FIG. In addition, the space where the warm refrigerator was installed is no longer needed, which has the effect of expanding the space inside the vehicle.

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the rail provided from the front part to the rear part in the approximate center of the ceiling of the bus, the storage case movably suspended on the rail, the rail and the storage case. Since it is provided with a drive means for moving the storage case provided between the passenger compartment and the passenger compartment, passenger service equipment such as a television receiver or passengers fixedly placed in a fixed place inside the bus of the conventional bus or passengers. Goods such as food and drink can be easily moved in the front and rear of the bus. For this reason, it is possible to eliminate the visual obstacles to passengers due to the passenger service equipment and to improve the convenience of the passenger service equipment. Further, articles such as food and drink for passengers can be easily distributed to each passenger.
