Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a structure for attaching a carrier to the rear of an automobile.

A carrier is sometimes attached to the trunk lid or back door at the rear of the vehicle body for loading spare tires, etc. Additionally, in order to improve driving performance, an air spoiler is sometimes attached to the rear end of the trunk lid or back door in the width direction. Conventionally, when attaching a carrier to an automobile equipped with an air spoiler, the carrier was attached independently from the air spoiler.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2,
When a fin-shaped air spoiler 1 extending in the width direction of the vehicle body is fixedly attached to the rear end corner of the trunk lid A, the carrier 2 is attached to the surface of the trunk lid A in front of the air spoiler 1. And Carrier 2 is designed to be able to carry cargo.
The carrier main body 23, which forms a rectangular plane with the outer peripheral frame 21 and the inner frame 22, is supported by front support legs 24 and rear support legs 25, each of which has a suction cup-like soft support at its lower end. Mounting holes are drilled in the panel and bolted. In some cases, the trunk lid A is fixed by a connecting tool that clamps the outer periphery of the trunk lid A without drilling a mounting hole, and the support legs are simply placed and abutted on the surface of the trunk lid A.

However, with this conventional carrier mounting structure, the carrier mounting position must be installed avoiding the air spoiler, which limits the carrier mounting position and width. Although there is no space restriction, removing the air spoiler is a hassle, and a storage space for the removed spoiler is also required. Furthermore, since the carrier must be independently fixed to the vehicle body, the fixing means must be sturdy, the structure is complicated, and the installation of the carrier itself is complicated.

The present invention has been made in view of these conventional problems, and provides a simplified carrier mounting structure by holding the carrier using an air spoiler.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on illustrated embodiments.
Note that the same parts as in the conventional example are given the same reference numerals.

3 to 5 show an embodiment of the present invention. In the carrier 2, a carrier main body 23 forming a frame-shaped rectangular plane is attached to the trunk lid A as in the conventional example, and a trunk lid A is fixedly attached to the front part of the carrier 1, and a trunk lid A is attached to the lower end of the carrier 2.
Front support legs 24 equipped with suction cup-shaped soft support stands 24a that are placed and abutted on the carrier 1 are disposed on both sides as front support parts.
A rear support part consisting of a coupling part 11 and a connecting rod 12 is provided on the air spoiler 1 fixedly attached to the rear end part. The carrier 2 is held on the trunk lid A via a front support part and a rear support part.

The rear support portion will be explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 4. The air spoiler 1 is molded from a resin material, and a nut member 13 is embedded from the upper end surface of the air spoiler 1 to form a connecting portion 11. A threaded portion 14 is formed at the lower part of the connecting rod 12 to be screwed into a nut member 13, and the threaded portion 14 is connected to a lock nut 15.
are screwed together. The upper end of the rod 12 is provided with a spherical part 16 that fits into a pipe forming the rear frame of the carrier 2, and in the middle of the rod 12 is provided a hexagonal part 17 for hooking a tool. There is a gap between the neck supporting the spherical part 16 and the fitting hole of the pipe, so that the rod 12 can tilt around the spherical part 16.

The front support portion will be explained in more detail with reference to FIG. An auxiliary plate 26 is fixedly fixed downward to the front frame of the carrier 2, and a long hole 2 is formed in the auxiliary plate 26.
A front support leg 24 is screwed to 7.

To install carrier 2, install air spoiler 1.
Remove the grommet or bolt covering the nut member 13 of the carrier 2, align the front, rear, left and right positions of the carrier 2, and place it on the trunk lid A. Fit the threaded part 14 of the connecting rod 12 into the nut member 13 of the air spoiler 1. Hook the tool onto the hexagonal part 17 and turn it to screw together. After screwing together to an appropriate depth, tighten the lock nut 15 to lock it. The height of the rear portion of the carrier 1 is adjusted by the amount of engagement of the threaded portion 14, and since the connecting rod 12 can be tilted relative to the spherical portion 16, it can be adjusted to an appropriate posture. This completes the installation of the rear support section.

If the height of the front support part needs to be adjusted, it can be adjusted by moving the front support legs 24 within the long holes 27 of the auxiliary plate 26 and fixing them with screws. In this front support part, the lower end of the front support leg 24 is supported in contact with the surface of the trunk lid A by the support base 24a, and the lower end and the trunk lid A are connected to each other.
Either screw them together, or fix the carrier body 23 and the outer periphery of the trunk lid A with a connector at another position on the carrier body 23 without making a hole in the panel surface.

The installation of the front support part and rear support part is now complete.
The carrier 1 is securely held on the trunk lid A, and a spare tire and the like are tied up with a rope B.

Note that the front support leg may be tiltably connected to the carrier body, and the front support part may be configured to directly hold the carrier body on the vehicle body, for example, via a buffer stand, without using the front support leg. It's okay.

Further, the rear support portion may be provided with a connecting portion for the air spoiler on its side surface, and the carrier body may be directly supported by a gripping claw or the like without using a connecting rod.

According to the carrier mounting structure according to the present invention, since the rear part of the carrier is supported by the air spoiler, there is no need for the carrier itself to have an independent rear support structure, and this can be eliminated, and the carrier dimensions can also be increased. In addition, since the air spoiler is securely fixed to the vehicle body, the carrier can be held securely, and the carrier can be easily installed.
