Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a spare tire holding device mounted on the lower surface of the rear floor of an automobile body.

Conventionally, in this type of spare tire holding device, as shown in FIG. 1, the rear end of a spare tire hanger 1 is rotatably pivoted to a mount bracket 3 fixed to the rear lower surface of a vehicle floor 2. The spare tire 1 is held by locking a locking hook 4 rotatably attached to the tip of the vehicle to a support member swingably attached to a bracket 5 fixed to the rear end of the lower surface of the vehicle floor 2. I was trying to do that.

(Refer to Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 52-105751.) However, in this conventional structure, since the distance between the lower surface of the vehicle body floor 2 and the spare tire hanger 1 is always constant,
If the width of the spare tire 1 changes, a spare tire hanger or mount bracket for that tire width will be required, which not only increases the number of parts but also increases costs. Was.

Therefore, the present invention was devised to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and provides a spare tire holding device that can easily and reliably hold tires of different widths without increasing the number of parts. The purpose is to

Therefore, in the present invention, the shaft hole to which the rear end of the spare tire hanger of the mount bracket is rotatably pivoted is an elongated hole, and the portion of the shaft hole through which the rear end of the spare tire hanger is inserted is provided. The intended purpose is achieved by attaching to the mount bracket a positioning member that closes the shaft hole while leaving the axial hole.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to an embodiment that illustrates the present invention. Oa is a spare tire hanger, and its rear end 19 is rotatably pivoted to a mount bracket 12 provided on the lower rear surface of the vehicle body floor 11. Also, its tip 26 is swingable to a bracket 14 fixed to the rear end of the lower surface of the vehicle body floor 11 via a locking hook 13 pivotally connected to the spare tire hanger a. It is configured to be able to be freely engaged with and detached from a support member 15 attached to the support member 15.

The shaft hole 16 to which the rear end portion 19 of the spare tire hanger a of the mount bracket 12 is pivotally attached is formed in the shape of an elongated hole that is elongated in the vertical direction.

Therefore, the rear end portion 19 of the spare tire hanger a is inserted into the shaft hole 16 so as to be movable up and down.

Further, a positioning member 11 that determines the position of the rear end portion 19 of the spare tire hanger a is attached to the side portion 20 of the shaft hole 16 of the mount bracket 12 with a bolt 18.

The positioning member 11 used has an abbreviated shape as shown in FIG.

That is, it has a fixing part 23 fixed to the shaft hole side part 20 of the mount bracket 12, is formed integrally with the fixing part 23, extends in the direction of the shaft hole 16, and has a spare tire hanger a.
It is formed in a shape having a shaft hole closing portion 22 that closes the shaft hole 16 except for the portion through which the rear end portion 19 is inserted, and the inner edge 25 of the shaft hole closing portion 22 is inserted into the spare tire hanger a. The contact surface 24 of the positioning member 17 is set as the contact surface 24 with the rear end portion 19, and positioning is performed by selecting two upper and lower positions by reversing the top and bottom of the positioning member 11.
4 and the upper edge 16a or lower edge 15b of the shaft hole 16 of the mount bracket 12, and the rear end 19 of the spare tire hanger a is sandwiched between the rear end 19 of the spare tire hanger a.

With the above configuration, the rear end portion 19 of the spare tire hanger a
After inserting the into the shaft hole 16 of the mount bracket 12,
After moving up and down to obtain a distance between the spare tire hanger a and the lower surface of the vehicle floor 11 that matches the width of the spare tire b, the positioning member 11 is fixed to the shaft hole side 20 of the mount bracket 12 for positioning. conduct.

In this positioning, if the rear end 19 of the spare tire hanger a is above the shaft hole 16 as shown in FIG.
With the shaft hole closing portion 22 of the positioning member 17 facing downward, the shaft hole 16 is closed, leaving an upper portion of the shaft hole 16 through which the rear end portion 19 of the spare tire hanger a is inserted;
The spare tire hanger a is attached to the abutting surface 24 of the shaft hole blocking part 22.
The rear end 19 of the spare tire hanger a is rotatably connected to the mount bracket 12 by the corresponding contact surface 24 and the upper edge 16a of the shaft hole 16 so as to support the rear end 19.

Also, the rear end 19 of the spare tire hanger a is shown in FIG.
If the shaft hole is located below the shaft hole as shown in FIG. to close the shaft hole 16, and press the rear end 19 of the spare tire hanger a with the contact surface 24 of the shaft hole closing part 22, so that the contact surface 24 and the lower edge 15b of the shaft hole 16 A rear end portion 19 of a tire hanger a is rotatably attached to a mount bracket 12.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the positioning member 11 was explained as having an abbreviated shape, but it is not limited to this shape.
It has a roughly U-shape with a shaft hole closing part of different widths at the top and bottom,
The inner edge of the circle may be used as the abutment surface, or it may be shaped like an E or F with different widths.The key is to create a spare by reversing the top and bottom inside the shaft hole 16. The shape of the tire hanger a is not limited as long as the rear end portion 19 of the tire hanger a can be pivoted at a position selected according to the width of the spare tire b.

As described above, according to the present invention, the mount bracket to which the rear end of the spare tire hanger is pivotally mounted has a vertically long elongated shaft hole, and the rear end of the spare tire hanger is connected to the shaft hole. A positioning member is inserted into the shaft hole so as to be movable up and down, and the rear end of the spare tire hanger can be fixed at a position matching the width of the spare tire by reversing the top and bottom. Therefore, even if the width of the spare tire to be held is different, just by flipping the positioning member upside down, you can obtain the spacing that matches the width of the spare tire. It is possible to easily and reliably hold different spare tires.
