According to the load strap of the present invention, hook-shaped hooks are provided on at least one end of the load strap made of a stretchable member.
This hook should be hooked on the outer frame of a luggage basket made of mesh or pipe. After hooking hooks at both ends of the strap and hooking the hooks on opposite frame sides of the luggage basket to attach both ends of the strap to the luggage basket, hooks provided at the middle portion of the luggage strap. Are hooked on the frame sides orthogonal to the frame sides facing each other. Since the packing string is hung in a "dogleg" shape when viewed from above, it is possible to prevent the baggage in the packing basket from falling and to prevent snagging. When a plurality of hook-shaped hooks are provided in the middle part of the strap, these hooks are zigzag-hanged over the luggage basket for use. Alternatively, a hook-like hook is provided at one end and a fixing means for fixing the load strap to the luggage basket is provided at the other end, and one end of the load strap is fixed to one of the opposite frame sides of the luggage basket. The hooks on the other side of the frame, or by attaching fixing means at both ends to fix the load cord to the frame side of the luggage basket in advance and hang only the hooks on the middle part. It may be removed. In such a case, since at least one end of the load strap is fixed to the luggage basket by the fixing means, it is possible to avoid theft or loss of the load strap when the load strap is not used.

At least one of these hooks is provided with a lever member extending toward the outside of the hook. When such a strap is attached to the cargo basket as described above, the hook provided with the lever has the hook-shaped portion hooked on the frame side of the cargo basket, so that the lever projects to the outside of the cargo basket. When this lever is pushed up, the contact point between the frame side of the luggage basket and the inside surface of the hook serves as a fulcrum to rotate the hook, and the tension applied to the luggage string allows the hook to be easily removed from the luggage basket.

As described above, the load cord of the present invention can prevent the load from falling in the load basket with a simple structure and can remove the load cord with one touch.
As described above, it is possible to provide a plurality of hooks in the intermediate portion, but in this case, at least one hook may be provided with the lever portion. By removing the hook, the strap is loosened and other hooks can be easily released. Further, the lever is not limited to the hook provided at the middle portion of the load cord, but may be provided on the hook at the end portion.

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 perspective view showing a configuration of an embodiment of a load strap according to the present invention. The strap 1 is made of a stretchable member such as rubber, has wheels 2 at both ends, and hooks 3 each having a hook shape are attached to each ring. Further, a hook 4 having a hook shape is provided at an intermediate portion of the strap 1. The hook 4 includes a lever member 4a protruding outward from the vicinity of the starting point of the hook-shaped curved portion.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a usage state in which the strap 1 is attached to a luggage basket used for a bicycle or the like. As shown in FIG. 2, the hooks 3 provided at both ends of the strap 1 are hooked on the opposite frame sides 5a, 5a at the upper end of the luggage basket 5, and the hook 4 provided at the middle portion of the strap is shown in FIG. In addition, the frame sides 5a and 5a are hooked almost at the centers of the frame sides 5b orthogonal to each other. These hooks 3, 3 and 4 are locked by a pipe extending in the height direction of the luggage basket to suppress lateral movement. Since the packing string 1 is stretchable, tension can be applied to the packing string 1 by hooking the hook 4 on the frame side 5b, and it is possible to prevent a load in the packing basket 5 from falling or a snag accident. The length of the strap 1 is adjusted according to the size of the luggage basket 5 to which the strap is attached.
Make the length so that a suitable tension is applied.

FIG. 3 is a view showing a cross section taken along the line AA in FIG. The hook-shaped hook 4 provided in the middle portion of the packing string 1 has one end on the root side fixed to the packing string 1 in the cross section and the other end curved in a hook shape to form a frame of the packing basket 5. It is caught on the side 5b. Further, the lever 4a extends outward from the vicinity of the starting point of the curved portion of the hook 4, and therefore, when the user lifts the lever 4a upward, the hook 4 moves in the direction of the arrow B around the fulcrum F as a center. It rotates and easily comes off from the frame side 5b. Since the tension applied to the packing string 1 is loosened when the hook 4 is disengaged, the hooks 3 at both ends can easily be removed from the frame sides 5a and 5a, and the packing string 1 can be removed from the packing basket 5 with one touch. You can

As described above, the strap of the present invention can be easily attached to the luggage basket to prevent accidents such as dropping of the luggage in the luggage basket and snooping, and the removal of the luggage strap with one touch. Since it can be carried out, it is much easier to handle than the conventional straps, and it can be used comfortably by the elderly and children.

FIGS. 4A and 4B are views showing a modified example of the hook provided with the lever. As shown in FIG. 4, the lever 14a of the hook 14 may be gently curved at the tip (FIG. 4A), or the lever 14a may be formed into a ring shape (FIG. 4B). With this configuration, it is easy to hook a finger when the hook 14 is disengaged, and the tip of the lever 14a is rounded, so there is no risk of injury, and safety is improved.

It should be noted that, instead of a hook-shaped hook, one of the ends of the strap is provided with, for example, a forceps, which is fixedly attached to the outer frame 5a of the luggage basket, and the other is hook-shaped. If the hook is provided, the attaching operation of the strap 1 becomes easier. Moreover, if comprised in this way, one end of a strap will be
Since it can always be connected to the luggage basket, it is possible to prevent loss or theft of the luggage strap even when the strap is not used.

When a plurality of hooks 4 are provided in the middle portion of the packing string 1, the hooks 4 may be hooked on the frame side of the packing basket 5 in a zigzag manner. Needless to say, the strap 1 can be used not only by hooking it on the upper end frame of the luggage basket 5 but also by hooking it on the pipe in the middle part according to the purpose of use.

Further, the lever 4a (14a) is not limited to the hook at the intermediate portion of the load cord, but may be provided on the hook provided at the end portion. If you remove any one of the hooks on the strap, the tension on the strap will be released and the other hooks will naturally disengage from the luggage basket.
If any one of the hooks is provided with the lever regardless of the intermediate portion, the object of the present invention is achieved.

The material of the hook is not particularly limited, but those made of metal or integrally molded with plastic or the like can be preferably used. The material of the strap may be cloth, vinyl, rubber, or the like, and a rubber material that is usually used as a strap for bicycles and the like covered with cloth or vinyl can be preferably used.

The strap of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and various modifications can be considered. For example, the lever 4a (14a) may have any shape,
The tip may be circular or spherical, or may be flat ring-shaped. Furthermore, in FIG. 4B, the tip of the ring-shaped lever is directed downward, but it may be directed upward. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the hook uses a so-called question force in which the hook-shaped portion is curved, but any hook can be used as long as it hooks on the luggage basket, and for example, the hook-shaped portion is bent at an acute angle. A hook or the like can be preferably used. Furthermore, the mounting position and the mounting angle of the lever 4a (14a) are not limited to those in the above-described embodiment. That is, in the above-described embodiment, the lever member 4a (14a) is the hook 4 (14).
Of the lever 4a (14a) at an angle with respect to the hook (eg, on the opposite side of the hooked portion of the hook from the curving direction). If the load cord 1 is hooked on the pipe in the middle part of the luggage basket, the removal operation becomes easy.

[0020]

As described above, according to the strap of the present invention, the strap attached to the middle portion of the strap is hooked on the upper end of the luggage basket, for example, in a dogleg shape. Therefore, it is possible to easily prevent the luggage in the luggage basket from falling and snooping. Further, by providing a lever on one of the hooks, it becomes possible to remove the load cord with one touch, which facilitates handling. The strap can be used not only for the luggage basket attached to the rear part of the two-wheeled vehicle but also for the luggage basket on the front side.
