Abstract

PURPOSE: To carry out installation in an instantanous operation without requiring tools, by installing an instantaneous attachment consisting of a clamping mechanism on which the lower end of a lever having a ginkgo leaf section is installed in a turnable manner, over an installation fitting, in the outside of a supporting board which supports a carrier bar at both the ends. CONSTITUTION: An instantaneous attachment A is installed in the outside of a supporting board 1 for supporting the carrier bar B of the instantaneous locking carrier C' at both the ends, when the carrier C' is installed on the roof of an automobile is installed. This attachment A has a lever (a) having a ginkgo leaf-shaped section over an installation fitting 2', and when the lever (a) is manually turning-operated upwardly, the installation fitting 2' is engaged and fixed with the installtion part on the car body side, through a clamping mechanism installed in a turnable manner. Further, on the reverse surface of the cover 5', a block is installed, and the slip-off during traveling is prevented by pressing the lever (a), installation metal fitting, etc.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a carrier to be installed on a roof of an automobile, and more particularly to a mounting mechanism for the vehicle body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to install a carrier for supporting skis on the roof of an automobile, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a support for supporting a carrier bar (B) of a carrier (C) at both ends is used. The base (1) [foot base] is attached to the roof (R) [roof] of the vehicle body as shown in FIG. 6 by the mounting brackets (2) [locking metal plate] provided on the support base (1). Fixing screws (3) supplied with this fitting (2)
Is tightened and attached using a separately prepared tool such as a screwdriver (4). However, carrying this tool is complicated and it is difficult to install it by oneself, and it takes time and time to tighten it, and the support base (1) comes loose during running in this tightened state. It had a drawback that it could be dangerous. In addition, in FIG. 5 (5)
Is a cover for covering the outer surface of the support base (1), and in FIG. 6, (S) is the vehicle body (side).

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, when installing a carrier on the roof of an automobile, it is possible to simply and quickly install the carrier without the need for tools.
The object is to eliminate many of the above-mentioned drawbacks in the related art.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides, within an outer side of a support base for supporting a carrier bar of a carrier at both ends,
Place the lower end of the lever with a ginkgo leaf cross section above the mounting bracket,
One-touch lock type carrier, which is equipped with a one-touch type attachment consisting of a rotatably attached clamp mechanism, a mounting bracket is rotatably attached in the middle of the lever, and the upper end of the lever is provided on a support base. One-touch lock carrier described above, which is equipped with a one-touch type attachment that is rotatably attached to the bracket, and a block is provided in the back surface of the cover, and the one-touch type attachment is pressed and fixed to the support base. The one-touch lock type carrier is configured as described above.

[0005]

According to the conventional carrier mounting mechanism for mounting on the roof of an automobile, a tool such as a driver is required, which requires a long mounting time and is difficult to mount by one person. By using a one-touch type clamp mechanism in place of the screwing for mounting the carrier, a mounting tool is unnecessary, and the mounting is performed by so-called one-touch, so that the time and labor can be remarkably saved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows a one-touch lock type carrier (C ') of the present invention, which can be installed on the roof of an automobile by using the carrier bar (B') of the one-touch lock type carrier (C '). ) Supporting base (1) [Foot base]
Provide a one-touch type attachment (A) inside the outside. This one-touch attachment (A) is a clamp mechanism in which the lower end of a lever (a) with a ginkgo leaf cross section is rotatably attached above the attachment (2 '). This lever (a) can be manually rotated. [FIG. 1 shows a fixed state, which is disengaged by rotating the arrow downward]. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, which will be described later, the lower end hook-shaped portion of the fixture (2 ′) is locked and fixed to the attachment position on the roof (R) [roof]. (5 ') is a cover.

FIGS. 2 (a), 2 (b) and 2 (c) show the order of assembling the lever (a) and the fitting (2 ') having the ginkgo leaf-shaped cross section on the support base (1). That is, the first shaft (e) having a head is provided with a lower hole (h) provided at the base of the lever (a) having a ginkgo leaf-shaped cross section, and a support portion provided at the support base (1).
Attach the gingko leaf-shaped lever (a) having a cross section through (f) and (f ') so that it can rotate [Fig. 2 (b)], and then above the base of the gingko leaf-shaped lever (a) having a cross section. The second shaft (e '), which also has a head, is passed through the mounting holes (h ") at the upper ends of the fitting (2') through the hole (h '), and the fitting (2') can be rotated. 2 [c], the first shaft (e),
A fixing ring or the like is attached to the other end of the second shaft (e ').

FIG. 3 shows another clamp mechanism as the one-touch type attachment (A '), in which the attachment tool (2') is rotatably attached in the middle of the lever (a '),
The upper end of (a ') is attached to the bracket (b) provided on the support base (1),
This mechanism is rotatably attached. 4 (a),
3 (b) and 3 (c) are diagrams showing the order of attachment to the roof (R) side of the vehicle body in the example of FIG. 3, FIG. 4 (a) is a state before attachment, and FIG. 4 (b) is a lever ( By raising a '), the fixture (2) is locked and fixed to the vehicle body (S) side. Figure 4 (c) shows the state covered with the cover (5 '),
Blocks (6) and (6 ') are provided inside the back surface of this cover (5'), and when the cover (5 ') is attached, hold down the lever (a'), mounting bracket (b), etc. This prevents them from coming off during traveling. This cover (5 ') is fixed to the support base (1) with a retaining screw or the like.

[0009]

According to the conventional carrier mounting mechanism for mounting on the roof of an automobile, a tool such as a driver is required, and it takes a lot of time to carry the tool, and it is difficult to mount it alone. However, in the one-touch lock type carrier of the present invention, the one-touch type clamp mechanism is used instead of the above-mentioned screwing for the attachment, so that a mounting tool is not required at all, and the mounting is performed by so-called one-touch. Therefore, the time can be remarkably shortened and labor can be saved. Also, since the set screw is not used as in the past, there is no fear that the set screw will loosen during traveling.
