Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a ski carrier mounted on the roof of an automobile.

Conventionally, in this type of automobile ski carrier, a stay frame is installed on the roof of the vehicle body, and the skis are simply attached to the stay frame with rubber bands, as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 55-81439. It is well known that it is made by binding with etc.

However, although this type of conventional structure is very simple and convenient in terms of structure, when attaching the skis, each ski must be firmly tied to the stay frame to prevent it from wobbling while riding. Not only was the installation work troublesome and time-consuming, but there were also various problems, such as wind noise caused by the exposed stay frame.

This invention was aimed at solving the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and its gist is a box body that is fixed to the roof of the vehicle body and has a storage recess, and a storage recess in the box body. An upper lid that pivots to cover from above, and a clamp that is formed on both the front and lower lower edges of the upper lid and is placed on the upper end surface of the box body when the upper lid is closed, and is capable of elastically clamping a ski. The top cover is removable and has a snowboard shape.

This invention will be explained below based on the illustrated embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 in the figure is a car body, and a ski carrier 4 is fixedly mounted on a roof portion 2 via a stay frame 3 that is fastened by a mounting member 3a such as a band. .

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the ski carrier 4 includes a box body 5 fixed to the stay frame 3 with bolts or the like.
The box body 5 has storage recesses 6 formed on the left and right sides, and a pair of left and right upper lids 1, 1 that pivot to cover the storage recesses 6, 6 from above.

Each of the upper lids 1°r is removably attached to the box body 5 via a hinge member 8 so as to be able to be opened and closed by pushing up from the left and right sides of the vehicle body, and is provided with reinforcing ribs T1 in the longitudinal direction of the upper surface. It is formed in the shape of a snowboard, and a notch 9 is cut into the front and bottom edges of the snowboard, and the notch 9 serves as a holding part with a width that allows two skis S to be placed side by side, for example. A rubber plate 10 is provided with the lower end edge 10a free.

Reference numeral 11 in the figure is a cushioning material provided on the upper end surface of the box body 5, and when the ski S is placed on the cushioning material and the upper lid 1 is in the closed state, the notch 9 of the upper lid I is
The ski S can be elastically clamped by a rubber plate 10 provided on the top of the box body 5 and a kungjon material 11 provided on the upper end surface of the box body 5.

In addition, 12 in the figure is a stay that maintains the open state of the upper lid 1;
13 is a locking member that maintains the closed state of the upper lid γ; 14
2 is a rubber band provided near the clamping portion on the side of the box body 5 for binding the ski, and γ2 is a handle portion formed on both sides of the upper lid 10.

A box body 5 constituting the ski carrier 4
The front end surfaces 5a and γa of the upper lids 7 and 7 are respectively formed as inclined surfaces tilting rearward to reduce wind pressure during running and prevent wind noise from occurring.

In addition, in the above embodiment, when installing the stay frame on the roof of the car body, it is fixed to drip rails etc. provided on the left and right upper end side edges of the car body, as in the conventional case. The means are arbitrary.

Further, in the above embodiment, the box body is placed on the roof of the vehicle body via the stay frame, but if the box body is molded from rubber or other flexible molding material,
By placing the box body directly on the roof and fastening it to the vehicle body using bands or other attachment members, special stay frames or other intermediate supports may be used (or may not be necessary).

Therefore, according to the above-mentioned configuration of this invention, the ski carrier has a box-shaped structure in which the front end surface is formed into an inclined surface tilting backward, and the ski carrier can elastically support the skis when the upper lid is in the closed state. Therefore, sufficient stability can be ensured simply by lightly tying the skis to the box body with rubber bands, etc., making mounting work extremely easy and reducing wind noise while driving.

In addition, when skis are not loaded, it can be used to store luggage, and since the top lid is shaped like a snowboard and is removable, the top lid can be used as a snowboard, further increasing the fun on the slopes. It has excellent practical effects.
