Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a carrier mounting device used for carrying a long plate-like object such as a ski or a surfboard mounted on the roof of an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, it has become common to carry various kinds of goods by mounting them on the roof of an automobile. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 1, a horizontal rod (1) having a rectangular cross section is provided in the width direction of the roof of the automobile in parallel with the roof of the automobile at a small distance from the roof of the automobile. Frequently, a carrier holding member (3) consisting of a fixed body (2) having both end portions of 1) fixed to the upper end and the lower end fixed to both sides of the roof of an automobile is always attached.

Thus, for example, in order to convey skis and other various conveyed objects, a conveyed object supporting member (4) suitable for the purpose and shape of the conveyed object is attached to the holding member (3). Usually, in order to attach the support member (4) to the holding member (3), a horizontal rectangular fitting hole (5) is provided in the support member (4), and the horizontal rod (1) is screwed or penetrated. It was made to fix.

However, since the diameter of the horizontal rod (1) is not constant, the diameter of the fitting hole (5) is relatively larger than the diameter of the horizontal rod (1). For this reason, as seen in FIG. 2, a bolt (6) that can project from below the fitting hole (5) into the fitting hole (5) is provided, and by tightening this bolt (6), the horizontal rod (1 ) Is pressed against the upper surface of the fitting hole (5) or a square plate plate (8) having a leaf spring (7) on the surface as shown in FIG. 2 or 3 is used for the fitting hole (5). It is interposed between the lower side of the horizontal rod (1) and the bottom surface of the fitting hole (5) inside, and then the bolt (6) is tightened in the same manner as above, so that the upper end of the bolt (6) is fixed to the plate plate (8). Means have been taken such as penetrating and abutting against the leaf spring (7) and pressing the horizontal rod (1) against the upper surface of the fitting hole (5) via the leaf spring (7).

However, in the former case, the fixing means for the holding member (3) and the supporting member (4) is so-called single-point support of the horizontal rod (1) and the bolt (6), which is very difficult to vibrate in the front, rear, left, right and up and down of the vehicle. I can't stand it. The latter is almost the same as a so-called bolt (6) provided with a spring washer, and loosening of the bolt (6) can be avoided to some extent, but the horizontal rod (1) and the leaf spring (7) can be contacted at or near point contact. ) Was in contact with him, and it was difficult to deal with the severe vibration of the car.
