Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a loading platform, commonly referred to as a ski carrier, ski carrier, etc., for carrying long objects such as skis on the roof of an automobile.

Conventionally, an intermediate locking member has been fitted around the outer periphery of a support rod constituting a loading platform, but in this case, the upper surface of the support rod on which the locking member is located protrudes, so that the load cannot be placed on this. Depending on the length of the loaded object, the loading condition may become unstable, or
There were drawbacks such as damaging this.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a loading platform for automobiles that can overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks, and the configuration of the present invention will be explained based on the illustrated embodiment in order to achieve this objective. Then, the result is as follows.

Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a front view of the entire loading platform of the present invention. The loading platform is composed of a support rod 1 and a support leg 2.

The support rod 1 is composed of a pair of left and right outer tubular members 3 and an inner tubular member 4 slidably inserted into these. The length of the roof can be expanded or contracted to correspond to the width of the automobile roof.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the outer tubular member 3 has a strip member 6 made of an elastic material such as rubber or synthetic resin between the inner projecting edges 5 provided along the axial direction of the upper opening. The grooves T at both ends are fitted to cover the opening.

Projecting edges 8 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the outer circle along the axial direction of the tubular member 3.
, 9, and the protruding edges io, i between and parallel to these
i is provided.

A locking member 12 is fitted into the lower end surface protrusion 9 so as to be slidable in the axial direction of the tubular member 3. , a fitting part 13 whose both ends are bent inward, and a protrusion 15 which protrudes from the outside and has a locking part 14 at its outer end.

The tubular member 3 is provided with protrusions 18 and 19 provided with locking portions 16° 11 near both left and right ends, a short cylindrical cap 20 is fitted and fixed to the inner end of the member, and a short cylindrical cap 20 is fitted and fixed to the outer end of the member. The support leg 2 is fitted onto the support leg 2 and fixed with a screw 21.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the inner tubular member 4 has a gap 22 in the axial center of the lower surface and a groove 2 in the axial center of both sides.
3, the screw 25 is inserted through the hole 24 provided on the lower surface of the outer tubular member 3, and this tip is inserted into the tubular member 3.
By screwing into and tightening the nut 21 of the restraining member 26 that is in contact with the lower surface of the frame, the connected state of both members 3 and 4 is fixed. Therefore, by loosening the screw 25, both members 3 are By sliding it in the direction, the length of the support rod 1 can be adjusted as described above.

The support leg 2 is curved inward as shown in FIG. 2, and has an insertion portion 28 at the lower end and a recess (
(not shown).

A curved tightening member 30 having an engaging bent portion 29 at its lower end is fitted into this recess so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction.
is inserted into a rain gutter on the roof of an automobile, and with the bent portion 29 engaged with the outside of the rain gutter, the vertically elongated hole 3 of the tightening member 30 is inserted.
The support leg 2 is attached by screwing the screw 32 into the screw hole (not shown) of the support leg 2 from the support leg 1 and tightening the screw 32.

The elastic band 33 has a width and a wall thickness that can be accommodated in the groove formed between the projecting edges 1o and ii, and has hooks at both ends for engaging the projections 18 and 19, respectively. The loading platform of the present invention, which has the above-described structure and has stop holes 34 and 35, is attached to the roof of an automobile and has a projecting edge 1o,
The band 33 is stored in the groove formed by step ii, and the locking holes 34 and 35 of the band 33 are locked with the protrusions 18 and 19, depending on the number of objects placed on the support rod. By appropriately sliding the locking member 12 to the left and right along the protruding edge portion 9,
The intermediate portion of the band 33 is engaged with the protrusion 15 of the member.

As described above, according to the present invention, both fitting portions 13 of the locking member 12 are fitted into the protruding edge portion 9 at the lower end of the outer tubular member 3, while the band-like member 6 made of an elastic material is inserted into the outer tubular member 3. Since it is provided directly above, the locking member 12 does not come into contact with the long object to be placed on the upper surface of the outer tubular member 3, and the long object is elastically supported by the strip member 6. Therefore, the long object can be stably bound to the band without being damaged, and the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks can be solved.

Moreover, when the band 33 is not in use, the projecting edge 10.11
Since the band 33 is housed in the groove formed by the support rod 3, the band 33 does not protrude from the outside of the support rod 3, giving it a good appearance and preventing the band 33 from bouncing due to vibrations of the vehicle body.

Furthermore, the projecting edges 9, 10, etc. also serve as reinforcement for the support rod 3, increasing its load bearing capacity.

Furthermore, since the four-striped grooves 23 are provided on both sides of the inner tubular member 4 in the axial direction, the inner tubular member 4 does not interfere with the inner end of the protrusion 18 provided on the outer tubular member 3, and the bending formed by the grooves is prevented. This has the effect of reinforcing the inner tubular member 4.
