JPS5842196Y2 - Vehicle luggage rack with air purifier - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] Air purifiers have already been installed in passenger cars to remove cigarette smoke and dust generated inside the car, but recently they have been installed in tourist buses, salon buses, and long-distance buses. Air purifiers have also begun to be installed on vehicles where smoking is allowed on board, such as trains and trains.

However, in addition to electric lights, various equipment such as air conditioning systems, televisions, audio systems, etc. are already installed in these vehicles, and it is extremely difficult to find a place to install an air purifier.

Ceiling mounting is also being considered, but it is unsightly for the air purifier to protrude irregularly below the ceiling, and there is a risk of passengers hitting their heads, especially in vehicles with low ceilings such as buses.

It has also been proposed to cut out a part of the inner wall of the ceiling and embed the casing of the air cleaner between the cutout and the outer wall, but this is not preferable because it reduces the strength of the vehicle.

There is a proposal to install an air purifier between the rearmost seat of the bus and the rear window, but some modern buses do not have space to install an air purifier in this area, and even if there is space in this area, In many cases, it is used to store large items that cannot be placed on the luggage rack, and it is not always expected to install an air purifier in this space.

Under these circumstances, the present invention aims to provide a luggage rack with an air purifier installed in order to install the air purifier therein.

There are two types of luggage racks: one in which a plate is attached to a bracket, and one in which several rods are assembled to a bracket, but the present invention is limited to the former.

The embodiment will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of one embodiment of the luggage shelf, with one portion marked W at the mounting thread.

Figure 2 is a partially enlarged view of the same, and A shows the opening of the cross section of the mounting screw part in Figure 1.

C is a view of this part viewed from below, FIG. 3 is another embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a partially enlarged view thereof.

In Figures 1 to 4, 1 is the luggage rack bracket, 2
1 is a shelf attached to the bracket 1, 3 is an air purifier housing, 4 is a lid, 5 and 6 are side surfaces each having air intake and discharge ports, and 7 is a flange 3-1 of the housing 3. The means for fixing to the shelf board 2 is, for example, screws.

The lid flange 4-1 corresponding to the position of the screw is provided with an escape so that the head of the screw does not hit.

This relief may be a notch as shown in the opening in Figure 2, or a hole slightly larger than the diameter of the screw head as shown in C.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a means for attaching the lid 4 to the housing 3, and for example, screws or a nylon ratchet can be used.

The lid 4 may be attached to the casing 3 directly to the casing, or indirectly via a component of the air purifier that is built into and fixed to the casing.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show the use of the auxiliary bracket 9 when the width of the air purifier is wider than the width of the flat part of the shelf board 2 and the opening of the shelf board reaches the sloped part.

The space occupied by the air purifier attached to the vehicle luggage rack according to the present invention is distributed between the upper edge of the shelf board and the lower part, so the protrusion of the lid body below the shelf board is used for passenger accommodation. The protrusion of the casing on the upper edge of the shelf does not affect its function as a luggage shelf, and the air intake and discharge ports are provided on the side of the lid under the shelf, making it easy to use as a luggage shelf. It will not lose its function as an air purifier even if you place luggage on top of it.

Also, daily maintenance is easily carried out by removing the means 8 for attaching the lid to the casing and then removing the lid, and removal for repair requires removing the means 7 for fixing the casing flange 3-1 to the shelf board 2. By removing it, it can be placed under the housing 11, which is extremely convenient.

The present invention can solve the problem of using air purifiers in vehicles such as buses and railway cars at once.
