b in the direction of arrow B. As a result, the sliding member 2 moves toward the rear of the vehicle C in the direction of arrow C. In this case, the rotating roller 31 serving as the box slider 3 rotates, and the first guide 7 slides in the direction of arrow C. Furthermore, Figures 7 and 8
As shown in the figure, the rotating roller 61 as the second slider 6 is slid along the horizontal portion of the second guide 4 in the direction indicated by the arrow.

FIG. 8 shows a state in which the third stopper 27 hits the rotating roller 31. Further, when the rotating roller 61 as the second slider 6 is slid along the second guide 4, the rotating roller 31 is pressed against the third stopper 27 as shown in FIG. As a result, the lever-shaped swinging member 8 begins to rotate in the direction of arrow E around this one end 8a. Furthermore, when the rotating roller 61 is slid along the second guide 4 and hits the second stopper 43, the sliding member 2 moves around the rotating roller 61 as the second slider 6 as shown in FIG. It spins around a lot. As a result, as shown in FIG. 10, the other end 21) of the sliding member 2 can be positioned considerably below the roof of the vehicle-12-C, for example near the tires, or near the ground as the case may be. Furthermore, the first
If the first stopper 9 as illustrated in FIG. 1 is provided, the swinging member 8 can be temporarily fixed by fitting the protrusion 91 of the first stopper 9 into the groove 92 and locking it. Therefore, the swinging member 8 can be prevented from swinging any further.

Once the sliding member 2 has been moved and lowered as shown in FIG. 10, the sliding member 2 may be loaded with cargo, and the cargo may be wrapped with a rope, string, or the like.

If you use this procedure to load your belongings, you will be able to load your belongings very easily even if you have a high vehicle. When loading is completed, the above operation is performed in reverse to return the sliding member 2 to its original position.

In the case of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, a rotating roller 61 as the second slider 6 is fixed at a position protruding downward from the sliding member 2.

Therefore, when the rotating roller 61 is slid along the second guide 4, the entire sliding member 2 is tilted downward in the direction of arrow C (the moving direction of the sliding member 2) as shown in FIG. can be done. When the sliding member 2 is moved in this state, as shown in FIG. 7, the rotating roller 61 slides only a short distance from the horizontal portion 11b. The other end 2b of the member 2 begins to fall below the roof.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the other end 1b side of the second guide 4 is configured to be lower than the central part, the second slider 6 protrudes below the sliding member 2 as shown in FIG. The rotating roller 61 can be housed in the other end 1b of the second guide 4.

As a result, the sliding member 2 can be stored in parallel to the roof along the fixed member 1 as shown in FIG. Therefore, it does not interfere with the running of car C.

That is, in the case of the embodiment described in claim 3, the sliding member 2 is slid over a short distance of 1111tL as described above (the other end 2b of the sliding member 2 is moved from the roof by pressing the button). It can be lowered downward, and when the car is running, the sliding member 2 can be reliably prevented from interfering with the running of the car.

-14- A second stopper I'I3 is provided on the second guide 4 (the second stopper 13 can stop the sliding of the rotating roller 61 as the second slider 6). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the sliding member 2 from coming off the fixed member 1 due to one movement.
When the sliding of the rotating roller 61 is stopped, the entire opening member 2 is moved around the stopped rotating roller 61 to the
It can be turned as shown in the figure.

By the way, if the first stopper 9 is not provided, as shown in FIG. +
) hits the rear end of the car, the hood, etc., causing damage to these parts. In this regard, as in the embodiment described in claim 4, if the first stopper is RQ&-J and the first stopper 9 locks the swinging member 8 at a predetermined swinging position. Since the swinging member 8 does not rotate any further, it is possible to eliminate the problem of the other end 21) hitting the rear end of the vehicle, the bonnet, etc.
