Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a loading platform for placing luggage on the roof of an automobile.

In general, this type of conventional loading platform has a box-like shape that is open at the top and has a shallow bottom, so that the left and right sides and front and back sides of the cargo placed on the loading platform can be surrounded by metal pipes. There is a known type of frame that has a frame body of 100 mm, which prevents the cargo placed on the cargo platform from shifting to the left and right sides or front and rear sides while the vehicle is in motion, and causing the risk of it falling off the roof of the vehicle. There is no.

There is also known a structure in which the metal tubes surrounding the front and rear sides are rotatable, and in this case, both tubes can be positioned outward when loading a load longer than the loading platform. but,
When both pipes are positioned outward, there is a significant difference in level between the two pipes and the metal pipe that makes up the bottom of the loading platform, so the length between the two pipes is longer than the length between the two pipes when they are positioned outward. There was a drawback that it was not possible to place and hold cargo with good stability.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a loading platform for an automobile that can overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks.

The specific configuration of the present invention for achieving the above object will be described below based on the illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 shows an overall perspective view of the loading platform of the present invention, in which the loading platform body 1 is mainly made of metal tube material, and has upper and lower rods 2a.

The front and rear ends of 2b are decorative edge members 3a made of synthetic resin.

The fixed frames 4 a and 4 b connected by the fixed frames 4 a and 4 b are arranged at appropriate intervals on both the left and right sides, and the lower rods 2 b of the fixed frames 4 a and 4 b.

It is constructed by connecting both ends of the horizontal rods 5 and 6 at an appropriate interval between the horizontal rods 2b.

Also, as will be described later, a movable rod γa is provided between the edge members 3a and 3b at the front end and between the edge members 3a and 3b at the rear end.
It is installed so that γb can be moved up and down.

Further, supporting legs 8 are attached to both ends of the horizontal rod 6, and the supporting legs are inserted into the rain gutter of the vehicle body and tightened with tightening fittings (not shown), thereby attaching the carrier body 1 to the roof of the vehicle body. However, this attachment means is known for this type of cargo platform.

The mounting structure of the edge member 3 a t 3 b and the movable rod 7 at 7 b is shown in FIGS. 2 to 4.

That is, the upper and lower rods 2a by the edge members 3a) and 3b
The connection at t2b is eliminated by inserting the ends of the upper and lower rods into the cylindrical portions 9 provided at the ends of each wire member, and inserting and fixing screws (not shown) into the holes 11a and 11b. .

The edge member 3at3b has a rib 12 and an inner concave part 13, and one end of the crank 14 is inserted into the inner concave part with holes 15 and 1.
By inserting a screw 17 into 6 and tightening it, they are brought into pressure contact and pivotally attached.

This pressure contact force is not enough to allow the crank 14 to rotate about the screw 1T as a fulcrum when a rotational force is forcibly applied to the crank 14 manually.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a blocking portion 18 which also serves as a lip is provided so that the side end of the crank comes into contact when the crank 14 is rotated to the positions indicated by the solid line and the chain line.

The crank 14 has a protrusion 19 at one end and an annular cover 20 surrounding the base of the protrusion 19, and the movable rods 7a, 7 are attached to the protrusion.
The screws 22 are inserted into the holes 21 and pressed against the movable rod, thereby fixing them.

In order to move the movable rod 7a t yb from the solid line position to the chain line position via the crank 14, the crank 14 must be forcibly rotated outward by hand. The tip of the crank is the pivot screw 11
This means that the vehicle remains in a tilted stopped state located further outward than the vehicle.

The crank 14 is maintained in the tilted stopped state by:
As mentioned above, one end of the crank is screwed into the inner side of the synthetic resin edge member 3as3b using the screw 17 to the extent that the crank will not rotate unless a rotational force is forcibly applied to the crank manually. It is pressed and tightened to the concave surface part 13,
Furthermore, there is a movable rod 7 fixed to the other end of the crank.
7b is located outward from the screw 17, which is the fulcrum of the crank, and the load of the movable rod is applied in that direction, and this stopped state is caused by vertical movement, acceleration and deceleration, etc. while the car is running. It is maintained even when subjected to various forces other than manual force, and the crank does not inadvertently rotate inward due to these forces.

When the movable rod 7at7b is moved to the chain line position, that is, rotated diagonally upward and outward, the movable rod is the upper rod 2a of both fixed frames 4at4b.

2a, and when the movable rod is rotated to the solid line position, that is, vertically downward, the movable rod touches both fixed frames 4.
The length of the crank 14 is set so that it is approximately flush with the lower rods 2b, 2b or the horizontal rods 5.6 of a, 4b.

Therefore, according to the present invention, if the movable rods 7a and 7b become an obstacle when loading a load longer than the loading platform, these can be rotated to a position substantially on the same plane as the horizontal rods 5 and 6. This makes it possible to prevent the movable rods from getting in the way and expand the area on which the cargo is to be placed.Therefore, the cargo can be placed and held with good stability on them, making it possible for this type of cargo platform to It is extremely useful for practical use.
