However, in recent years,
Many two-wheeled vehicles such as bicycles are equipped with a mesh-shaped luggage basket on a luggage carrier so that luggage can be put therein. This luggage basket has a width and height of about 30 cm and a length of about 40 cm. When putting luggage in this basket and hanging it up, the L attached to the bed is the same as the conventional one.
It is necessary to hang the loop at one end of the strap on the H-shaped hook, wrap the strap around the basket and the entire platform, and finally turn the hook at the end of the strap to the platform to hook it on the hook. is there. Therefore, there is a problem in that the operation of winding the load cord around the basket is troublesome, and the hook is not properly caught on the load carrier due to the length of the load cord being too long or too short. Further, when stopping the luggage stored in the basket provided on the front side of the bicycle, it is necessary to wind the luggage around the entire basket with the conventional packing string, which is troublesome to operate.

The present invention solves such a problem and
An object of the present invention is to provide a load cord that allows a cord to be attached to a basket provided on the front side of a two-wheeled vehicle, even when a mesh-shaped basket is attached to the luggage carrier of the motorcycle.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the strap of the present invention is provided with hook-shaped hooks at least at one end and hook-shaped hooks are provided at a plurality of intermediate portions. It is characterized by that.

In a preferred embodiment of the strap of the present invention,
It is characterized in that a hook-shaped hook at the end of the strap is provided via a ring.

Further, in another preferred embodiment of the load strap of the present invention, a hook-shaped hook provided in an intermediate portion is rotatable about a rotary shaft extending in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the load strap. It is provided in.

[0008]

As described above, according to the present invention, hook-shaped hooks are provided not only at the ends of the packing string but also in the middle part. Therefore, the hooks at the middle part are hooked on the mesh of the cargo basket. It is possible to hang a string freely. Therefore, for example, the load strap can be zigzag-hanged on the opening of the mesh-shaped load basket placed on the load carrier, and the load strap can be attached by a simple operation to prevent the load collapse. Further, by providing the hook at the end of the load cord via the ring, the ring can be hung on the hook portion under the luggage carrier of the two-wheeled vehicle, and the load cord can be used around the entire luggage basket as usual. Alternatively, the hook can be hooked on the mesh portion of the luggage basket and used without hanging on the hook portion of the luggage carrier. Further, the hook provided in the intermediate portion is configured to be rotatable about a rotation shaft extending in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the load strap, so that the hook can be attached to the intermediate portion without worrying about the direction of the load strap. The provided hook can be easily applied to a desired place.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a first embodiment of the present invention. The strap 1 has loops 2 formed at both ends thereof and is fastened by fasteners 3, and hooks 4 each having a hook shape are provided on each loop 2. Further, hook-shaped hooks 5, which are slightly smaller than the hooks 4 attached to the ends, are attached to the middle portion of the load cord 1 at appropriate intervals. Although the hook 4 is attached by caulking the end thereof directly to the load cord 1, it may be attached by using an appropriate stopper. Further, in this embodiment, the loop 2 is formed at the end of the load cord 1 and the hook 4 is provided on the loop. However, a ring-shaped metal fitting is attached to the end 2, and the hook is attached to this metal fitting. You may do it.

If the hook 5 in the middle portion is used for a cargo basket of a normal size to be placed on a luggage carrier of a two-wheeled vehicle such as a bicycle, about 5 to 7 hooks having a width of the cargo basket are provided. It is preferable to provide them at intervals. However, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to this number and interval, and that the size of the luggage basket and the number and interval of hooks can be changed as necessary.

In the above embodiment, the size of the hook 5 attached to the middle portion is smaller than that of the hook 5 attached to the end portion. Therefore, when you are not using the strap,
The end of the strap can be easily identified and taken out. However, this is not an essential condition for carrying out the present invention, and the basic effect of the present invention can be obtained even if the hooks at the end portion and the intermediate portion are the same size or the hooks at the intermediate portion are larger. It doesn't matter. Instead of making the size of the hook at the end larger than the size of the hook at the middle, the color of the hook may be changed.

FIG. 2 is a diagram partially showing the structure of the second embodiment of the strap of the present invention. In the second embodiment, a plurality of hooks 12 attached to the intermediate portion of the load cord 11 are attached via forceps 13, and the hooks are centered around a rotation axis a extending in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the load cord 11. 12 is configured to freely rotate in the vertical direction. Specifically, in this embodiment, a small flange portion 12a is provided at the root-side end portion of the hook 12, and a hollow protruding portion 13a is provided at a part of the pipe 13. A through hole 13b is provided substantially at the center of the protruding portion 13a, and the hook 12 is passed through the through hole 13b. By making the diameter of the through hole 13b slightly larger than the outer diameter of the hook 12 and smaller than the outer diameter of the flange portion 12a, the hook 12 can freely rotate about the rotation axis a. The tube 12 is fixed so that it does not move in the longitudinal direction of the string. In FIG. 2, the step between the protrusion 13a and the tube 13 is drawn at a right angle for easy understanding of the configuration.
This step is preferably gentle.

In the second embodiment, since the hook 12 provided in the middle portion of the load cord freely rotates, it can be used without worrying about the direction of the load cord when hooking the hook 12 on the luggage basket. The hook 12 can be easily hooked on the luggage basket regardless of which end of the luggage string 11 is used. Further, even if the load cord is twisted, the hook 12 can be easily hooked at a desired position.

FIG. 3 is a diagram partially showing the configuration of the third embodiment of the present invention. In the third embodiment, an anchor-shaped hook 22 is provided in the middle portion of the packing string 21. In this embodiment, the tip of the hook 22 is anchor-shaped, that is, bent in a hook shape on both sides.
It is not necessary to care about the direction of 1, and the hook 22 in the middle portion can be easily hooked on the luggage basket regardless of which end portion is used. Further, since the hook 22 shown in FIG. 3 can be made by bending a single metal fitting, the manufacturing process is very simple and the manufacturing cost can be kept low.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various modifications can be considered. For example, as for the shape of the hook, although the question force is used as the hook in the above-described first and second embodiments, the force may be used instead. Further, as the metal fittings such as the hook, the stopper, and the forceps, those conventionally used for such a strap can be used, but if they can be firmly fixed to the strap, those made of a plastic material can be used. You may use it. Cloth, vinyl, rubber, etc. can be considered as the material of the strap, but the strap covered with cloth or vinyl around the rubber material that is usually used as a strap for bicycles etc. Since it can prevent deterioration, it can be preferably used.

[0016]

As described above, according to the load strap of the present invention, the hook attached to the middle portion of the load strap can be hooked in a zigzag manner by utilizing the mesh portion of the load basket. It is not necessary to turn the packing string up to the bottom of the cargo basket and wind it around the cargo basket in order to prevent the luggage put in the cargo basket from falling. Further, it can be used not only for the rear luggage carrier but also for preventing the luggage placed on the luggage basket on the front side of the bicycle from falling.
