[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The above-mentioned roof carrier that allows ski equipment to be set is generally installed on the roof of an automobile within a reach, that is, on the roof side end side, and a stay extending in the vehicle width direction is used. Then, the pair of roof carriers are connected to each other and positioned at the roof side ends, and the roof carriers are mounted by being locked and fixed to the vehicle body side such as the roof edge. In this way, the length of the roof carrier itself is set so that the skis and skis can be attached / detached within the reach of the roof carrier. . There is also a type in which the skis are bound together in a band so that the skis and the stock can be set in a flat stack. When the roof carrier is attached to each of the roof side ends as described above, they are respectively set. Two skis and four skis can be set, and a total of four skis (for four people) and eight skis can be loaded on the roof.

However, in the above-described roof carrier, skis are bundled and set, so that the holding surface of the base needs to be set high in order to avoid contact between the downward binding and the roof. For this reason, when the roof carrier is attached, there is a problem that the user feels a sense of height and the appearance is impaired. In addition, there is also a type in which the skis are not bundled up and the bindings are placed on top of the skis, and the skis are simply stacked flat. In this way, there is no contact between the binding and the roof, and it is a short roof carrier that does not cause the above-described feeling of height. However, since the separated skis and skis are set, only one ski and two skis can be placed, and even if there are roof carriers on both sides of the roof, there will be a total of two skis. There is the inconvenience that only four stocks (for two people) can be loaded.

In view of the above situation, the present invention allows two sets of skis and skis to be set in a roof carrier without bundling the skis (that is, on both sides of the room). , So that a total of four pairs of skis and skis can be set), and the aim is to load many skis and stocks on the roof.

As shown in FIG. 1, the roof carrier 1 is a base 2 attached to a roof side end of an automobile, and a roof carrier 1 is vertically rotatable so that the base 2 can be overlaid on the base 2. The lower clamp 3 is movably provided, and the upper clamp 4 is rotatably provided in the vertical direction so that the lower clamp 3 can be overlaid on the lower clamp 3. The base 2 is provided so as to stand on the roof with one end side as a leg portion 20, and from the other end side, a stay for connecting the roof carriers 1 arranged at both side ends of the roof is mounted. The upper surface of the base 2 is provided with a holding surface 21 that is substantially flat in the longitudinal direction thereof, and is provided above the legs 20 so as to be rotatable in the longitudinal direction of the base 2. A lever 5 is provided that is biased to rotate toward the other end, that is, to rotate counterclockwise in the figure. This lever 5 is to be locked to the lower clamp 3 and the upper clamp 4 as will be described later, and is brought into contact with the locking body 30 of the lower clamp 3 which is overlaid on the base 2 so that the releasing operation direction (see FIG. (In the clockwise direction in FIG. 4), it is locked to this, and it is rotated in the releasing operation direction by the contact of the locking body 40 of the upper clamp 4 stacked on the base 2 side, and then locked to this. The locking bodies 30 and 40 are released by rotating them in the releasing operation direction.

A lock device 6 is provided below the lever 5 as shown in the figure. This locking device 6 restricts the releasing operation of the lever 5, and prevents the lever 5 from rotating in the releasing operation direction by a locking operation using a key. When unlocked, the notch (not shown) of the lever 5 straddles the lock device 6, and the movement of the lever 5 in the releasing operation direction is not restricted. The lock device 6 is always covered with an openable / closable cover 7, and the cover 7 is opened and locked and unlocked when necessary. A lock cover 13 for supporting the cover 7 is provided around the lock device 6 so that it can be opened and closed when the roof of the base 2 itself is attached and detached, and adjustment can be performed using a tool (Fig. 5).

The lower clamp 3 is pivotally attached to one end side of the base 2 (a portion facing the leg portion, which is the roof center side when the roof carrier is attached), and is vertically rotatable. It is provided. The lower clamp 3 is provided with a cushion body 9 having a lower surface facing the holding surface 21 and forming a first sandwiching holding portion 8 in the longitudinal direction, and the ski placed on the holding surface 21 as shown in FIG. The plate a is provided so as to be held by tilting the lower clamp 3 toward the base side. The free end side of the lower clamp 3 is opposed to the upper side of the leg of the base 2, and the above-mentioned locking body 30 is provided inside the free end side thereof. That is, when the lower clamp 3 is tilted, the lever 5 is automatically locked to the locking body 30 and the device (ski ski, snowboard, etc.) arranged in the first pinch holding portion 8 is securely held.

The upper clamp 4 is provided coaxially with a pivotally connecting portion 10 between the base 2 and the lower clamp 3 so as to be vertically rotatable. The lower edge shape of the upper clamp 4 is convex upward in the longitudinal direction so as to be higher than the upper surface of the cushion body 9 (when the upper body 4 is laid down). A second sandwiching holding portion 11 is formed between the lower edge portion that is convex upward and the cushion body 9, and the stock b is placed side by side on the upper portion of the cushion body 9 as shown in FIG. By holding the pump 4 on the lower clamp 3 side, they are held. As described above, the locking body 40 is positioned on the free end side of the upper clamp 4, and the locking body 40 is opened from the through hole 12 opened to the free end side of the lower clamp 3 by laying it over to make the above-mentioned engagement. The stopper body 30 can be inserted into the back side of the stopper body 30, that is, to the pivoting portion 10 side with respect to the locking body 30, and the lever 5 is locked to hold the second pinch in the same manner as the locking body 30 described above. It is provided so as to securely hold the tools arranged in the portion 11.

As shown in FIG. 3, the locking body 40 of the upper clamp 4 and the locking body 30 of the lower clamp 3 are provided so as to be in parallel contact with each other, and the releasing operation direction of the lever 5 ( The locking body 40 is located on the front side in the clockwise direction in the figure, and the locking body 30 is located on the rear side (see FIG. 6). As a result, when the lever 5 is rotated in the releasing movement direction when the upper and lower clamps 3 and 4 are stacked on the base 2 side, the lever 5 is first disengaged from the locking body 40 (see FIG. 7). ), And then the lever 5 comes out of the locking body 30 (see FIG. 8). Of course, by adjusting the turning operation of the lever 5 in the releasing operation direction, it is possible to disengage it from only the locking body 40 and open only the upper clamp 4 upward.

At the pivotal connection 10 between the upper clamp 4, the lower clamp 3 and the base 2, a spring 14 for constantly urging the lower clamp 3 upward is interposed between the base 2 and the lower clamp 3. When the lever 5 is removed, the lower clamp 3 is opened so that equipment such as skis can be easily taken in and out. If the upper and lower clamps 3 and 4 are stacked and locked by the lock device 6, the lever 5 does not rotate and the upper and lower clamps cannot be opened.
