JPH0750285Y2 - Car roof carrier - Google Patents

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial field of application> The present invention relates to a roof carrier for mounting luggage on the roof of an automobile.

<Prior art> A roof carrier in which an air mat is fixed to the roof by a mounting hook in order to prevent the roof surface from being scratched by luggage mounted on the roof is known in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-88649. ing.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> In the above conventional roof carrier, since the air mat is always fixed over the entire roof surface, the air mat is exposed at a portion not necessary for the loading area, and luggage is not loaded. When it is not open, it is exposed to the entire roof surface, which impairs the external appearance and also causes fluttering due to wind pressure during traveling.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention is an improvement over the above-mentioned conventional problems. The structure is such that guide rails extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle on both sides of the roof and extending in the vehicle width direction are provided. A carrier bar fixed by a fixing bolt slidably guided to the guide rail; The mat includes a mat connected to the winding device, and a hook for mounting the band in the vehicle width direction, which is guided by a guide rail between the cover and the carrier bar so as to be positionally adjustable.

<Operation> With the above configuration, the mat is pulled out onto the roof and stored in the cover according to the movement of the carrier bar, the mat area required for the loaded luggage is adjusted, and the luggage loaded on the mat is hung on the hook. Secure with the band that you stopped.

<Embodiment> An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a roof of an automobile. Guide rails 2 extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle are provided on both sides of the roof 1, and a carrier bar 3 extending in the vehicle width direction is movably guided to the guide rails 2 so as to be fixed at an arbitrary position.

As shown in FIG. 3, the moving and fixing mechanism of the carrier bar 3 is such that a fixing bolt 4 inserted into the carrier bar 3 is screwed into a square nut 4a slidably guided in the guide groove of the guide rail 2. It is a structure.

A cover 5 is located on the front side of the roof 1, and the cover 5 is formed integrally with the guide rail 2. A winding device 6 is provided in the cover 5 as shown in FIG. The winding device 6 has a well-known mechanism such as a retractor used for a wind shutter or the like.

A mat is wound around the winding device 6, and one end of the mat 7 is connected to the carrier bar 3.

Further, on the guide rail 2 between the cover 5 and the carrier bar 3, a hook 8 for attaching a band 9 to be hung in the vehicle width direction is guided in a positionally adjustable manner.

The position adjusting mechanism of the hook 8 is, as shown in FIG. 4, a square nut slidably guided in the guide groove of the guide rail 2.
It has a structure in which a hook 8 is screwed into 8a. Incidentally, it is possible to attach the band 10 between the carrier bar 3 and the cover 5.

Since the present invention has the above-described structure, the mat 7 is pulled out from the inside of the cover 5 onto the roof 1 according to the movement of the carrier bar 3 and is stored. Therefore, when the luggage is not loaded, the mat 7 is taken up by the take-up device 6 in the cover 5 by moving the carrier bar 3 to the most forward end contacting the cover 5 and fixing it with the fixing bolts 4. The mat 7 is not exposed on the surface 1.

When the mat 7 is used, by moving and fixing the carrier bar 3 to a position corresponding to the size of the luggage, the area of the mat 7 pulled out from the inside of the cover 5 onto the roof 1 becomes the same as the area of the luggage. The mat 7 is covered by the loaded luggage.

In addition, the position of the hook 8 is adjusted so as to correspond to the load mounted on the mat 7, and the band 9 is hooked on the hook 8 to secure the load with the band 9, and the cover 5 and the carrier bar 3 By sandwiching the luggage, the carrier bar 3 and the cover 5 serve as a support when the vehicle starts or brakes, so that the luggage can be stably mounted.

<Advantages of the Invention> As described above, according to the present invention, the mat can be pulled out onto the roof by a carrier bar that can be moved and fixed in the vehicle front-rear direction, and the luggage can be mounted on the mat. Then, the mat will be covered by luggage, so the mat will not be exposed on the roof and will not impair the appearance.

Also, by adjusting the movement of the carrier bar according to the size of the load, the front and rear of the load are supported in contact with the cover and the carrier bar, and are fixed by the band that is hooked to the hook positioned so as to correspond to the load. Therefore, the luggage does not move due to the inertia of traveling, and a stable loaded state is secured.
