Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a device for transporting luggage in a vehicle, a so-called loading platform or roof rack. The vehicle carrier comprises a load member extending over the vehicle roof and on which the load is placed, and a plurality of fastening devices at opposite ends of the vehicle roof for positioning the load member relative to this end, each fastening device having engagement means. and one that can move to the correct engagement position in cooperation with the vehicle.
coupling means which can be moved in cooperation with the cargo member into the correct coupling position.

(Prior Art) Various types of vehicle carriers of the above type are known. In this case, the cargo element has a round or square shape, which is accommodated in a sleeve at the upper end of the fastening device. Since the same loading platform must be used for various vehicles, the distance between the two fixing devices at both ends of the A-tube member must be able to be adjusted accurately.Furthermore, in order to increase the reliability of the loading platform, The securing device must be firmly connected to the load member that traverses the vehicle.

By the way, many new vehicles do not have the conventional roof mold (roof molded part) or groove.

Accordingly, there is a need to reliably connect the securing device and the load member, and this need has become increasingly important. This is because, in the case of newer vehicles, it has often been difficult to effectively connect the cargo bed laterally to the vehicle with conventional engagement means that connect the entire fastening device to the vehicle body.

In conventional arrangements, the two lateral load members are generally housed within a sleeve at the upper end of the fixation device, as previously discussed. In these older configurations, the interconnection between the load member and the securing device was invariably made with a screw assembly. There was therefore always the risk that the user of the carrier would forget to tighten the screws securing the securing device to the load member.

In conventionally configured cargo beds, there is also the additional risk that vibrations transmitted from the vehicle or from the load on the cargo bed may loosen the screw assembly and cause the cargo member to move laterally during vehicle travel.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The object of the invention is to provide a vehicle loading platform a of the type already described, which allows a very reliable interconnection of a load member and two fastening devices.

Yet another object of the invention is to provide a vehicle carrier arrangement of the type already described which does not require special manual operations or means for interconnecting the securing device and the load member when the carrier is mounted on the vehicle. It is in. More specifically, the device of the invention aims to provide a loading platform that allows for simultaneous interconnection of the fixing device and the load member on the one hand and fastening of the fixing device to the vehicle body on the other hand. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a cargo platform device in which there is no risk of the engagement connection between the cargo member and the securing device being disengaged due to vibrations, incorrect installation of the cargo platform, or the like.

(Means for Solving the Problem) In order to achieve the above object, the vehicle loading platform device of the present invention has an engaging means and a connecting means connected to a common actuating device, and the actuating device is actuated. Accordingly, both means can be moved to their engagement position and connection position, respectively.

According to the invention, each fastening device suitably has a support member for the load member, and the coupling means are constructed as push members that engage with the load member to correctly position the load member relative to the support member, The member is coupled to an actuator actuated thereby.

In one embodiment of the invention, the support member is disposed below the load member and the pushing member is a U-shaped member supporting the load member and having a pressure surface above the load member to press the load member downwardly. Correct positioning relative to the support member.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the support member is part of the fastening device and is suitably arranged on the load member, and the pushing member is on an arm, the arm being mounted within the fastening device and actuating the actuated position. The load member is pressed into contact with the support member.

Further, other embodiments will be described in detail in the (Examples) section.

(Operation) In the vehicle loading platform device of the present invention, when the actuating device is actuated, the means for engaging the securing device of the loading platform with the vehicle roof and the means for connecting the cargo member of the loading platform to the securing device are simultaneously moved to the correct position. Moreover, it can be fixed, and the load member will not loosen or come off from the vehicle roof due to vibrations of the vehicle or incorrect attachment of the loading platform to the vehicle.

(Example) In FIG. 1, 1 is the roof of a vehicle, and 2 is a door opening on the vehicle side. Newer vehicles do not have older roof moldings, or grooves that run longitudinally along the side edges of the vehicle roof, to strengthen the roof and to accommodate certain other devices. In addition, the roof has a circumferential projection or elongated ridge 3 extending in the longitudinal direction. The side edges of the roof slope gently and downwardly from this raised portion 3 in the direction of the vehicle door opening 2 to form a corner area 4 which merges with the upper boundary surface 5 which forms the upper part of the vehicle door opening 2. .

In a vehicle with a roof designed as described above, the circumferential protrusion 3,
Only the corner area 4 and the upper boundary surface 5. Of course, an exception is the case of a vehicle equipped with a special holding part manufactured by the manufacturer.

In this embodiment, the carrier itself has a tubular load member 6 of preferably rectangular cross section. At both ends of the load element 6 there are fastening devices 7 by means of which the load element is attached to opposite ends of the vehicle roof. When installed, the cargo members 6 are placed on the roof at predetermined intervals with their longitudinal direction perpendicular to the traveling direction of the vehicle.

Each fixation device 7 has a lower engagement member 8 or foot with a replaceable insert 9 made of medium hardness or elastic material. This insert 9 is designed to mate with the surface of the roof 1 in the region of the circumferential projection 3 . The fixing device 7 further has a second engagement member 10 . This element 10 is designed to hold the corner area 4 of the roof and engage by means of a hook part 11 with the boundary surface 5 of the door opening 2. When the screw 12 and nut 13 (together forming an operating device) are tightened, the 7-hook part 11 moves to the right in FIG. do. The hook part 11 and the foot part 8 pull and press against each other, so that the fastening device 7 is clamped to the longitudinal end of the roof.

The fixing device 7 has two parallel legs 14 (see FIGS. 1A and 1B). The lower end of the foot 14 has a joint 15.
a foot 1 which is connected to the foot 8 at a position and pivots relative to the fixing device 7 about an axis substantially parallel to the direction of travel of the vehicle;
The upper end of 4 is connected to a support member 16 . Support member 16
A load member 6 is placed above and this member 16 receives a cylindrical shape and transmits its forces via the two legs 14 to the foot 8 and the vehicle roof.

In the embodiment of FIG. 1, there is a U-shaped member 17 on the outside of the end of the load member 6. The U-shaped member 17 is designed as a push member that can engage with the upper side of the load member 6 with its bottom upwards. This U-shaped member 17 has two side flanges 19 that engage on the outside with the two legs 14 of the fixing device 7. The side flanges 19 of the U-shaped member 17 are connected to transverse rods 20, preferably of riveted construction. This rivet 20 extends linearly through an elongation 21 formed in the two legs 14 of the fixing device 7 and is a cam member having a cam surface 23 that abuts the underside of the support member 16 between the two legs 14. 2
2. Cam member 22 pivots about rivet 20 and, as it rotates clockwise from the position of FIG. 1A, exerts a downward force on the rivet as cam surface 23 moves along the underside of support member 16. This downward force and the downward movement of the rivet 20 causes the U-shaped member 17 to move downward and press against the load member 6. Therefore, the cargo member 6
is sandwiched between the pressing member 18 and the supporting member 16, and the fixing device 7
The tightening is fixed inside.

A stop 24 is provided at the lower end of the cam member 22 (22A, B).
When the cam member rotates by a predetermined angle, it comes into contact with the end of the leg 14 and limits the clockwise rotation of the cam member 22.゛As shown, the nut 13 is fixed to the cam member 22. Therefore, when tightening the screw 12,
The cam member 22 rotates in the above-mentioned clockwise direction to tightly hold the load member 6 between the pressing member 18 and the support member 16. When the screw 12 is tightened, the already described hook part 11 also rotates below the corner area 4 to tighten and hold the fixing device M7 on the side edge of the vehicle roof. For this purpose, there is an engaging portion 25 at the upper end of the second engaging member that protrudes toward the side surface 26 of the cam member 22. When the stop 24 abuts the leg 14, the cam member 22 is correctly positioned relative to the fixation device, and therefore the side surface 26 of the cam member 22 is also correctly positioned within the fixation device R7 to ensure a sufficient tightening effect. but! 82 is obtained between the engagement member 10 and the foot 8.

The operation of this embodiment is as follows.

In the embodiment of the arrangement shown, when the screw 12 is first tightened, the hook part 11 is first loosened against the corner area 4 and the cam member 22 is rotated clockwise until it is abutted and the rotation is limited by the stop 24. rotate in the direction. In this position, the load member 6 is safely clamped into the fastening device 7, but
Up to this position, the second engagement member 10 has no tightening effect. Therefore, even if the engagement between the foot 8 and the roof 1 is incomplete, the second engagement member 10 will cause the entire loading platform to Due to the lateral force of
This is because the loading platform is symmetrical, and the force generated by one anchoring device 7 is in the opposite direction to the force generated by the other anchoring device N7, and this force is applied to the load member within the two anchoring devices. This is because they are mutually transmitted and canceled through and their associated members.

The embodiment described above can be easily modified for vehicles with conventional roof profiles or grooves. In such a variant, the second engagement member 10 is designed to engage the vehicle body below the roof profile.

However, in this case the pivotable foot 8 is not required; instead, a support foot engaging from within on the upper side of the roof profile or groove is provided from the two legs 14 in FIG. It extends diagonally to the left and substantially parallel to the second engagement member 10 . This support foot may be completely fixedly attached to the two legs or may be formed integrally with the legs.

A second embodiment is shown in FIG. 2, and in this embodiment and further variations described below, similar elements to those in FIG. 1 are given the same reference numerals.

The embodiment of FIG. 2 also has a cargo member 6. The embodiment of FIG. This stacking member 6
is surrounded by a pressing member 18 arranged above it and a side flange 19 which engages on the outside with the outer side surfaces of the two legs 14 which are part of the fixing device 7 . Furthermore, U-shaped member 1
7 has a transverse rod or rivet 20 which, as already explained, has a cam member 22 with a cam surface 23.
Collaborate with. The camming surface 23 also engages the upper side of the support member 16 and the pushing member 18 is biased downwardly to urge the load member 6 into position relative to the support member 16.

The fixing bag M7 also pivots around a joint 15 at its lower end, and the leg 8 is mounted on the roof via an elastic or medium-hard replaceable insert 9 cooperating with the vehicle roof l.

The biggest difference from the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is that the swinging member 28 is rotatably attached to the lower part of the cam member 22 at a joint 27. A nut 13 is rotatably provided at the upper end of the swinging member 28 and cooperates with the screw 12.

The head of this screw 12 engages on the outside of a projection member 29 that interconnects the two legs 14.

At the lower end of the swinging member 28, a transverse shaft 30 is fixed between its two side legs. Bent portion 3 of second engaging member 10
1 engages with the outer periphery of this horizontal shaft 30. Second engagement member 10
is mounted at a very low position within the fixing device 7. It can also be used in vehicles in which the upper bounding area surface 5 of the vehicle door opening 2 is significantly inclined and remote from the horizontal. In this embodiment, it is preferable that the second engagement member 10 has a bendable central member 32.

This embodiment works as follows. When the screw 12 is first tightened, the swinging member 28 rotates counterclockwise until the hook portion 11 of the second engagement member 10 abuts the corner region 4 . When the screw 12 is further tightened, the swinging member 28 is connected to the cam member 22 by the joint 27, so the cam member 22 rotates clockwise about the rivet 20.

When the cam member rotates clockwise, the load member 6 is fixed to the fixing device. If the screw 12 is continued to be tightened further, the rocking member 28 will rotate further counterclockwise and the second engagement member will be completely tightened against the corner region 4 and the upper interface 5. The fastening device 7 is thus effectively fixed to the side edge of the vehicle roof.

FIG. 3 shows a third embodiment of the invention, in which the securing device 7 is of the same design as that described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 in terms of holding the load member 6. be. That is, a U-shaped member 17 is used which supports the load member 6 and biases it into the correct position in the direction of a support member 16 interconnecting the two upper ends of the legs 14 of the fixing device. Cam member 2
The rotary attachment of No. 2 and the function of the cam surface 23 are the same as those already described.

In the embodiment of FIG. 3, unlike what has already been described, the cam member 22 has a rotatable nut 13, while the head of the screw 12 screwed into the nut 13 is connected to the second engagement member 10.
It engages with the bending part 33 of.

In using the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, first, when the screw 12 is tightened, the hook part 11 comes into contact with and engages the corner area 4 and the edge part boundary surface 5, and then the cam member 22 reaches the position shown in the figure. It rotates around the rivet zO. In this position, the stop 24 of the cam member engages the leg 14. The U-shaped member 17 is pulled down towards the load member 6 and is effectively clamped between the pressing member 18 and the support member 16. When the screw 12 is further tightened, the second engaging member 10 is pulled along the upper end of the vehicle door opening 2 toward the corner region 4 and the upper boundary surface 5, and is firmly engaged and fixed.

FIG. 4 shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention, in which elements corresponding to those already described are given the same reference numerals.
The carrier 7 also has legs 14 of φ2 which are interconnected at their upper ends by a support member 16 which engages the load member 6. Similarly, the load member 6 cooperates with the U-shaped member 17 having the pressing member 18 to bias the load member 6 downwardly toward the support member 16 . The U-shaped member 17 also has a horizontal rivet 20.

The lower end portion of the leg portion 14 is connected to the foot portion 8 by a joint 15, and an insert member 9 that can be replaced depending on the design of the vehicle roof is disposed on the foot portion 8. Furthermore, the fixed bag M7 has a second engaging member 10 having a hook portion 11 that engages with the vehicle body at its lower end.

Unlike the previously described embodiments, the embodiment of FIG.

At its upper end, there is a link member 34 having a hole into which the dummy rivet 20 is inserted. The lower end of the link member 34 is connected at a joint 35 to a rotation member 36 which is rotatably connected to a pull rod 37. This pull rod 37 is preferably adjustable in length and is rotatably mounted at the lower end of a zero pivot member 36 which cooperates with a similar pivot member 36 at the opposite end of the load member 6. It cooperates with the screw 12. Additionally, the pivoting member 36 has an angular arm 38 opposite the pull rod 37 . The upper end of the second engaging member 10 is rotatably attached to this angle arm 38. Finally, the pivoting member 36 is directly connected to the fixing device 7 or its two legs 14.
Please note that it is not fixed.

In FIG. 4, the right end of the screw 12 engages in a cross plate 39 which connects the two legs 14 of the fixing device 7.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 84 has been devised especially assuming the following case. In other words, it is assumed that the vehicle roof has no prominent shoulders or vertical grooves for positioning the foot portion 8 and the insertion member 9 in the correct direction (laterally with respect to the direction of vehicle travel). In the example, the lateral positioning function is instead ensured by a pull rod 37 to prevent the two securing devices 7 from moving away from each other in the longitudinal direction of the load member 6.

First, when the screw 12 is tightened, the rotating member 36 substantially rotates around the attachment part of the pull rod 37, and the second engaging member 10
rises. Therefore, the outer side of the engagement member 10 engages with the inner surface of the horizontal plate 39 of the fixing device, and counterclockwise rotation of the second engagement member is prevented. When the lower hook part 11 of the second engaging member 10 is abutted and engaged with the vehicle body', if the screw 12 is further tightened, the nut 13 moves rightward in the figure, and the pull rod 3
7 receives a tensile force in its longitudinal direction, and at the same time, the link fa material 34 pulls the rebate 20 downward, pushing the load member 6 between the pressing member 18 of the U-shaped member 17 and the supporting member 16 of the two legs 14.
The tightening is fixed in between.

FIG. 5 shows a fifth embodiment, which is envisioned for use on vehicles with conventional roof profiles.

Also in this embodiment, the cooperative relationship between the upper end of each fixed wave N7 and its cargo member 6 is the same as that described above, and a detailed description of its structure will be omitted.

As can be understood from the figure, the rotating member 36, which is movable perpendicularly to the leg 14 and rotates around the shirt 40 which is rotatably attached to the leg 14, is moved by the fixed wave M7.
It is attached between two legs 14 of. This shaft 40 also cooperates with the lower end of the link member 34 which engages the transverse rivet 20.

The pivot member 36 is substantially triangular and has an angular arm 38 . This arm 38 extends outwardly in the direction of a cross plate 39 interconnecting the two legs 14. The angle arm 38 is the second
The second engaging member 10 is connected to the upper end of the engaging member 10 in a hinged manner, and the second engaging member 10 passes through a hole 41 in the horizontal plate 39 and comes into contact with the inside of the horizontal plate 39 immediately above the hole 41.

As previously discussed, the embodiment of FIG. 5 is intended for use in vehicles having conventional roof contours. Therefore, there is no pivoting foot 8, but instead there is a leg 14 with a lower foot member 42 which is arranged to engage the upper side of the roof groove from the inside.

In using the embodiment shown in FIG. 85, first the screw 12 is tightened and the angle member 36 rotates counterclockwise about the shaft 40. As a result, the $22 engagement member 10 rises and loosely engages the lower side of the vehicle groove.

When the angle member 36 is further rotated, a tensile force is applied to the link member 34, the U-shaped member 17 is pulled downward, and its pressing member 18 pushes the load member 6 against the support member 16 of the fixing device 7.
Push it in the direction of until it reaches its correct position.

In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the pivoting foot 8 whose foot member 42 has already been described
It is also clear that they can be exchanged.

The alternative sixth embodiment of FIG. 6 is also intended for vehicles with conventional roof contours. The fixing device 7 therefore has at its lower end the already described foot member 42, which is intended to be engaged from its inside in a roof configuration. Already, the second engagement member 10 has a lower hook part 11, which is designed to engage with the vehicle body below the roof groove. As explained in FIG.
1 nut 13 is provided on the horizontal plate 39, and the free end of the shovel 12 engages with the bent portion 43 of the second engaging portion.
The bent portion 4 of the second engaging member IO pushes the button to the right in FIG.
3 and the hole 41, the hook portion 11 simultaneously moves toward the upper right in FIG.

In order to cause the second engaging member 10 to perform the predetermined operation as described above, it is necessary to prevent the upper end portion 44 of the engaging member 10 from rotating clockwise, that is, to the right in FIG. , for this purpose, the upper end 44 is connected to the support member 4 of the swinging member 46.
A swinging member 46 protrudes from the two legs 14 at a joint 47 and is rotatably attached to the two legs 14 . The cooperation of the support member 45 and the upper end 44 allows the upper end to move relative to the support member 45 in its longitudinal direction.

The swinging member 46 is a pressing member 1 that engages with the upper side of the cargo member 6.
8 to push the load member 6 downward toward the fixing device 7.

When the screw 12 is tightened, the second engaging member 10 first moves upward and to the right, applying a small pressure to the supporting member 45 of the swinging member 46. Thereafter, when the hook part 11 engages with the lower side of the roof groove, if the screw 12 is continued to be tightened, the upper end part 44 applies an increasingly large pressure to the support member 45 of the swinging member 46 and moves it in the opposite direction. The pressing member 18 applies pressure to the cargo member 6 to tighten and hold it in the correct position.

This embodiment using the swinging member 46 and the support member 45 can of course be used in the embodiment described in FIG. 1 as well.

FIG. 7 shows a further seventh embodiment of the invention, in which the lower end of the fixing device 7 is provided with a pivoting foot 8 that cooperates with the vehicle roof.

At the upper end of the fixing device 7 there is provided a sleeve which is defined on the upper side by a support member 48 and has an engagement surface 49 on its lower side. In this way, the two legs of the fixation device can also be formed integrally with the support member 48 and the engagement surface 49.

An angular arm 51 is connected to a shaft 50 between the two legs 14.
It is rotatably mounted. The angular arm 51 has a projection 52 which projects outwardly of the vehicle and can be moved upwardly through a hole in the engagement surface 49 to press the load member 6 against the support member 48 and hold it in position. At the lower end of the angle arm 51 a screw 12 is preferably attached. Furthermore, the second
Upper support arm 54 that engages with the upper end of engagement member io
is attached by a joint 53.

In using the embodiment of FIG. 7, after engaging the hook portion 11 with the corner area 4, the angle arm 51 is rotated clockwise. Since the upper end 44 of the second engaging member 10 is engaged with the support arm 54, the first end 44 rotates clockwise. When the screw 12 is further tightened, the second engaging member 10 rises and moves to the right in FIG. At the same time, the angle arm 51 rotates clockwise to press the cargo member 6 into contact.

The eighth embodiment shown in FIG. 8 differs from the embodiment shown in FIG. 7 in the following points.

That is, the angular arm 51 has at its upper end near the pivot shaft 50 a support surface 26 similar to that already described in FIG. Similarly, at the upper end of the second engaging member 10 there is an engaging part 25 having the same function as the engaging part shown in FIG.

The angular arm 51 has a joint member 55 with a nut 13 cooperating with a screw 12 which extends through the outside of and engages the second engagement member 10.

In use of the embodiment of FIG. 8, the second engagement member 10 operates in the same manner as described in FIG. Furthermore, screw 1
2 and the joint member 55, the angle arm 5
1 is rotated clockwise and raised, and the lateral protrusion 52 of the angle arm 51 is engaged and fixed in the correct position with respect to the load member 6.

The embodiment of Figure 8 has also been modified to replace the pivoting foot 8 with a fixed foot and to be mounted in a conventional vehicle roof groove in a manner substantially similar to that described in Figure 5 or Figure ff56. can.

FIG. 9 shows a final embodiment of the invention, and on this live side, the load member 6 does not have a contour closure, but instead has a downward opening whose lateral direction is determined in the figure by two vertical flanges 56. However, these flanges can be omitted,
In that case, an elongated hole is provided in the lower side of the loading member 6 instead.

The slot need not extend the entire length of the load member.

In this embodiment, as already explained, the fixing device 7 has a foot 8 which is rotatably mounted at a joint 15 and cooperates with the vehicle roof l and the longitudinal shoulder 3. There is a preferably replaceable push-in member 9 of medium hardness or elasticity. Furthermore, the second engagement member 10 has a hook portion 11 at its lower end, which cooperates with the corner region 4 and the upwardly inclined boundary surface 5.

The upper ends of the two legs 14 of the fixing device 7 are connected to a support member 16, for example, as explained using FIG. Additionally, the legs 14 extend northward beyond the support member 16, but need not extend to the upper end of the load member 6, as illustrated by dotted lines 57 in FIG.

A swinging member 59 is rotatably attached to a shaft 58 located at the center between the two legs 14 . On the right side of the shaft 58, the rocker member 59 cooperates with a pull rod 60 which extends through the support member 16 to the load member 6. In the absence of the upper end or vertical portion of the vertical flange 56, the pull rod 60 has a head 61 that engages the inside of the bottom wall of the load member 6. The pull rod 60 is vertically movable,
When the swinging member rotates clockwise about the shaft 58, it is pulled particularly downward.

On the left side of the shaft 58 in FIG. 9, the swinging member 59 is connected to the upper bend 62 of the second engagement member 10. The second engagement member 10 has a central part 63 that engages with a shaft 64- which prevents the hook part 11 from coming out of the corner area 4.

The screw 12 also engages the rocker member 59 and the two legs 14
When the screw 12 with the nut 13 fixed to is tightened,
A swinging member 59 rotates clockwise around a shaft 58 that is freely movable in the vertical direction of the elongated hole 65.

When the screw 12 is tightened, the swinging member first engages the second engaging member 10.
is raised to engage the corner area 4 and the upper interface 5. If this lifting action is subsequently blocked, the swinging member 59
The pull rod 60 rotates clockwise and has a head 61.
presses the load member 6 and engages and fixes it in the correct position on the support member 16 of the fixing device 7.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, in the vehicle loading platform device of the present invention, by simply tightening one screw, the hook portion of the second engaging member engages with the corner area of the roof, and the fixing device is attached to the vehicle. Upon engagement with the roof, the load member is reliably connected and fixed to the fixing device by means of the U-shaped member or the cam member.

Therefore, there is no risk of forgetting to tighten the screws for fixing the load member, unlike in conventional loading platform devices, and there is also no risk of the load member loosening and moving due to the vibration of the load on the platform.
