Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a mounting device for a coffin or the like in a hearse or other vehicle.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, a body stored in a coffin, stretcher, one-man comfort, etc. (hereinafter referred to as a coffin, etc.) is transported by being loaded onto a hearse, such as a shrine-shaped, lotus-shaped, or bread-shaped hearse, or a vehicle such as a sleeping car.

At that time, the coffin and the like are fixed to a mounting device that is installed in advance inside the vehicle.

Conventional loading devices of this type include a stand that can be moved back and forth, and after placing a coffin or the like on the stand and sending it into the car, a model is inserted into the stand and the coffin or the like placed on the stand is fixed. I'm trying to stabilize it.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, since there has been no unified standard for coffins, etc., and they are currently formed in various sizes with arbitrary shapes and dimensions, it is not possible to simply make a model on a stand. Merely inserting and fixing was extremely insufficient because the shape of the cutout and the pinch of the cutout hole did not always match the shape and dimensions of the coffin, etc. That is, if the wedge interval is even somewhat larger than the length of the coffin, etc., the coffin, etc. may shift during a sudden stop, which is dangerous.

On the other hand, if the spacing is too small, the coffins that are inserted into the holes will tighten due to vibrations while the vehicle is running, making it difficult to remove them, making it difficult to lower the coffin.

Therefore, mechanical tightening means are preferable to
In that case too, tightness is undesirable as it will cause noise and destroy the solemn atmosphere.

By the way, when loading a coffin etc. into a hearse at a funeral,
There is a particularly strong demand for the safe transportation of dead bodies by quietly and quickly fixing them in the most stable condition regardless of their shape or size, without compromising their dignity.

This invention was made by focusing on these conventional problems, and it is possible to quickly and reliably fix a coffin, etc. of any shape or size in any position, and yet it does not spoil the solemn atmosphere. The object of the present invention is to provide a mounting device such as a coffin in a vehicle that is completely free from fear.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention, which achieves the above object, comprises a conveyance table disposed in a storage chamber as shown in the above figure, an end stopper supporting one end of a coffin, etc. placed on the conveyance table, and an end stopper facing the end stopper. This is a device for mounting a coffin or the like on a vehicle, which comprises a traveling stopper arranged so as to be able to move continuously, and a traveling stopper driving device that moves the traveling stopper steplessly forward and backward and restrains it at an arbitrary position.

[Effect]

In the loading device according to the present invention, the coffin or the like is placed on the transport table and sent into the storage chamber. The end stopper supporting one end surface of the coffin or the like can be set at an appropriate position depending on the size of the coffin or the like. The travel stop is continuously moved toward the end stop by operating the travel stop drive in the tightening direction.

When a coffin or the like is thus held between the travel stopper and the end stopper, the travel stopper is automatically restrained and the coffin or the like can be completely fixed. The travel stopper can move smoothly within a predetermined range via a drive device, and can be easily adapted to coffins of various sizes, and if it is tightened, it may cause noise or other abnormal noises that may damage the dignity of the travel stopper. There is no such thing at all.

Also, if the travel stopper drive device is operated in the loosening direction,
The travel stopper immediately retreats and can be easily unlocked.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In Figs. 1 to 7, reference numeral 1 denotes a palace-type hearse, which is equipped with a storage room (hearse room) 2 for storing coffins and the like. 3 is this storage room 2
The door is opened and closed from the rear of the vehicle. In storage room 2,
A coffin H loading device 4 is installed. This loading device 4 includes a transport platform 6 provided on a floor 5, and a removable end stopper 7 that supports one end of the coffin H placed on the transport platform 6.
A travel stopper 8 is provided opposite to the end stopper 7 and is movable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, and a travel stopper driving device 9 is provided for moving the travel stopper 8 forward and backward and restraining it at an arbitrary position.

Further, the details of the mounting device 4 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 8 to 11.

The conveyor table 6 has a plurality of rollers 1 mounted on a frame 10 fixed to the floor 5.
1 is attached to the roller stand 12, and this roller stand 12
It is equipped with a slide table 13 that slides lightly on the top and can be pulled out backwards when the door 3 is opened. Among the rollers 11, 11a is a long roller that directly receives the coffin H;
llb is a door wheel-shaped roller designed to avoid interference with the traveling stopper 8, and llc is a slide table roller.

A table stopper 14 projects downward from the rear end of the slide table 13. Then, when the slide table 13 moves forward toward the front side, the table stopper 14 engages with the frame 10, and the forward limit is restricted.

The end stopper 7 includes a support stand 16 disposed on the floor 5 on the end side of the conveyor table 6, and a rear stopper 17 standing on the support stand 16 and having, for example, a substantially U-shaped outer shape. The support stand 16 is placed along the frame body 1o, and a plurality of sets of insertion holes 15 are arranged in parallel in two stages, upper and lower. These insertion holes 15
The rear stopper 17 is removably inserted by selecting freely.

Furthermore, at least the horizontal portion 17a of this rear stopper 17
is formed in a hollow shape, and a lateral shift regulating rod 18 as an extendable and retractable auxiliary stopper is inserted into the hollow.

This side-slip regulating rod 18 has one end bent and then widened so that it can easily engage the end of a coffin H, etc., and can be adjusted to an arbitrary width with a hinge 19 according to the width of the coffin H. Fixed.

The traveling stopper 8 includes a stopper top 21 having a flexible member 2o such as plastic or sponge rubber attached to the contact surface with the coffin H, and a stopper carrier 23 (10th
．． 11), a carrier box 24 that houses and guides the stopper carrier 23, and an upper plate 26 that covers this and is provided with a hole 25 for attachment to the lower surface of the vehicle body. A guide groove 27 is formed on the bottom surface of the carrier box 24, and the lower mounting plate 23a of the stopper carrier 23 projects from the groove 27. Further, a guide groove 28 is formed in the upper plate 26, and the upper mounting plate 23b of the stopper carrier 23 projects from the groove 28, and the stopper top 21 is bolted to this. On the other hand, the travel stopper drive device 9 is linked to the lower mounting plate 23a as will be described later.

Here, X in FIG. 8 represents the movable range of the travel stopper 8. B is the setting range of the end stopper 7, that is, the frontmost insertion hole 15 of the rear stopper 7 in the support base 16.
represents the distance between a and the rearmost insertion hole 15b. A is from the rear stopper 17 when installed upright in this frontmost insertion hole 15a,
It represents the distance to the travel stopper 8 when the movable range X is at the forward limit. Then, the interval A is determined according to the smallest coffin. Also, the interval (A + B + X)
is determined by considering the dimensions of the largest coffin.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the travel stopper drive device 9 includes a flexible toothed main cable 30 that transmits push/pull loads, and an operation box 3 that pushes/pull the cable.
1. The toothed main cable 30 has screw-shaped teeth formed by tightly wrapping a shaped steel wire 30b around the outer periphery of a high tensile wire rope 30a made by twisting and bundling a plurality of steel wires. , serves as a flexible rank. Usually, it is housed in a main conduit tube 32 and a terminal conduit tube 33 of a flexible type or a rigid type.

The operation box 31 is connected to the toothed main cable 3 described above.
It has a built-in gear mechanism that has a gear wheel 34 having worm wheel-shaped teeth 34a that mesh with 0, and a gear train 35 consisting of a combination of spur gears that rotate this gear wheel 34 in clockwise and counterclockwise directions. There is. Furthermore, the guide portion 36 that guides the toothed main cable 30 so as to mesh with the gear wheel 34 surrounds the outer periphery of the worm wheel-shaped tooth portion 34a formed on the side surface of the gear wheel 34 in a U-shape. It is provided integrally with 37. The main conduit tube 32 is connected to the inlet D 36 a of the guide portion 36, and the terminal conduit tube 33 is connected to the outlet 36b.

The gear train 35 is held on the base plate 37 via a holding lid 37A, and a box cover 38 is placed on the base plate 37. Then, the presser lid 37A and the box cover 38 are inserted, and the input shaft 39 for driving the gear train 35 is made to protrude outside the cover 38.

Furthermore, the holding lid 37A has a storage portion 3 for the input shaft 39.
7B, and a coil spring 40 serving as a spring brake is attached to the inner surface of the coil spring 40 in a state where the diameter is compressed by winding it tightly. In other words, the spring force of the unwinding holds the lid 37.
Press firmly against the inner surface of A. Both ends of the coil spring 40 are bent inward so as to be able to engage with the input shaft 39. Thereby, the coil spring 40 functions as a spring brake and brakes the forward and reverse rotation of the input shaft 39.
In other words, it has a structure that locks automatically (self-locking).

An operating handle 41 is attached to the protruding end of the input shaft 39, which can be attached or detached with one touch. When the operating handle 41 is inserted into the input shaft 39 and turned, the gear wheel 34 rotates via the gear train 35 with a large reduction ratio, so the toothed main cable 30 can be pushed out or pulled in easily. .

On the other hand, even if an external push-pull force is applied from the toothed main cable 30 side, self-locking by the coil spring 40 works, so it is difficult to drive the gear wheel 34 and the gear train 35 together.

The travel stopper drive device 9 configured in this way has a fourth
It is installed under the floor of the storage chamber 2 of the hearse 1 as shown in FIGS. That is, the operation box 31 is fixed under the floor via the mounting bracket 42 with a hole being made in the floor 5 inside the door 3 at the rear corner of the storage room 2, for example, so that the operation handle 41 can be attached and detached. The main cable 30 is stretched under the floor by supporting each of the conduit tubes 32 and 33 with a hanging bracket 43, and its operating end is connected to a stopper carrier via a loosely attached U-shaped fixture 44. It is bolted to the lower mounting plate 23a of 23.

Next, the effect will be explained.

Initially, it is assumed that the travel stopper 8 is moved toward the front side. When loading the coffin H onto the hearse 1, pull out the slide table 13 of the loading device 4 with the door 3 open, place the coffin H thereon, and then move the coffin H onto the slide table 13 of the roller stand 12.
It is carried into the storage chamber 2 using the rolling movement of the container. In this case, the coffin H should be sent as deep as possible. Thereafter, by picking up the rear stopper 17 and inserting it into a hole near the rear end of the coffin H among the plurality of sets of insertion holes 15 of the support base 16, it is loosely fixed.

Next, the operation handle 41 of the traveling stopper drive device 9 is inserted into the input shaft 39 of the operation box 31 and turned in the tightening direction. The rotation is transmitted to the gear wheel 34 via the gear train 35, and the toothed main cable 3 is meshed with the gear wheel 34.
Pull 0. As a result, the stopper carrier 23 of the travel stopper 8 is pulled, so the stopper top 21
moves continuously and smoothly toward the rear side, contacts the end surface of the coffin H, and presses it toward the end stopper 7.

In this case, even if the coffin H is heavy, the force increasing effect by the gear train 35 in the operation box 31, the gear wheel 34 with worm teeth, and the toothed main cable 30 meshing therewith is large, and the roller of the roller stand 12 Due to the roller effect of 11, very little force is required to operate the handle.

When the other end of the coffin H comes into contact with the end stopper 7, the operating handle 41 cannot be rotated, and the coffin H is securely fixed on the mounting device 4. That is, regardless of the size of the coffin H, it is sufficient to simply operate the operating handle 41 until it stops rotating, so there is no need to take care in adjusting the size as in the conventional case when fixing the coffin H.

Note that due to the self-locking structure of the travel stopper drive device 9 consisting of the coil spring 40, the toothed main cable 30
Since the engagement between the gear wheel 34 and the gear wheel 34 is automatically locked, the coffin H can be firmly restrained even while the hearse is running. Therefore, even if you suddenly stop or drive down a steep slope,
There is no danger of the coffin H shifting, and it is extremely safe.

When the hearse 1 finishes traveling, the door 3 is opened, the operating handle 41 is attached to the operating box 31, and the operating handle 41 is rotated in the loosening direction. As a result, the gear wheel 34 rotates in the opposite direction to the above and pushes out the toothed main cable 30, so the stopper top 21 of the travel stopper 8 moves to the front side via the stopper carrier 23, making it easy to fix the coffin H. It will be canceled.

That is, according to this traveling stopper drive device 9, release of the fixing is not difficult as in the conventional case, and can be easily performed regardless of the size of the coffin H.

Next, attach the end stopper 7 to the support base 16.
Then, the slide table 13 is pulled out of the vehicle and the coffin [I is removed from the mounting device 4.

According to this embodiment, since the toothed main cable 30 is flexible and has good followability, it is easy to adapt to the drive device. Therefore, even when loading and unloading, there is no risk of making noises such as gear rattles and spoiling the solemn atmosphere of a funeral, making it suitable as a body loading device for a hearse.

In addition, coffins of any shape and size currently used in Japan can be securely fixed and mounted, and there is a large degree of freedom when installing them on vehicles, so any type, regardless of shrine type, lotus type, or hang type, can be installed. It can be easily mounted on hearses of
It can be easily installed on hearses that are already in operation.

In the above embodiment, the traveling stopper drive device is composed of the toothed flexible cable 30, the gear wheel 34, and the gear train 35.
Although a combination structure has been described above, other structures such as a forward and backward movement structure using a combination of a rigid shaft having a feed screw and a gear may also be used. However, in that case, it is necessary to provide a locking structure of the travel stopper drive device, for example, a reversal prevention pawl for preventing the travel stopper 8 from moving in the direction of loosening while the vehicle is running.

Furthermore, although the end stopper 7 is configured to be attachable and detachable at a plurality of positions set in stages, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be detachably provided at a specific position at the rear of the conveyance table.

Furthermore, although the above embodiment has been described with reference to a hearse, the present invention is not limited to this and can be applied to other vehicles such as sleeping cars.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, a mounting device such as a coffin is mounted on a conveyance table provided in a storage room of a vehicle, and an end stopper that supports one end of the coffin or the like on the conveyance table, facing this. The present invention is formed by a travel stopper that is continuously movable, and a travel stop and a drive device that continuously moves the travel stopper forward and backward and restrains it at an arbitrary position. Therefore, a coffin or the like can be reliably and quickly fixed at any position on the conveyor table regardless of its size, and can be easily unfixed. Further, the fixing operation and the releasing operation can be performed quietly without making any noise, making it an innovative device for mounting coffins and the like on vehicles.
