Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a vehicle body cover device that allows even one person to reliably and easily attach and detach the vehicle body cover of an automobile.

The car body cover is usually done by one driver.
It is often installed or removed from automobiles,
Since the vehicle body cover is quite large, it is very troublesome to attach and detach it. Particularly in strong winds, for example, when removing a body cover from a car, if you fold the front part and then try to fold the rear part, the folded front part may be blown away by the wind. It was impossible for one person to carry out this kind of work.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and makes it possible for even one person to easily attach and detach the vehicle body cover by using a large number of hook rings provided on the vehicle body cover and a related specific holding device. The purpose of this invention is to provide a portable device.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In Fig. 1, 1 is a car, and 2 is a car body cover placed over the car.On the top surface of the car body cover 2, as shown in Fig. 2, ring-shaped rings are formed at intervals in the front and back direction. A large number of hook rings 3 are provided.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a holder that cooperates with the hook ring 3 to facilitate attachment and detachment of the vehicle body cover 2. As will be described in detail later, this holder 4 includes a horizontal arm 5 extending from one side of the automobile 1 to above the roof of the automobile, and the above-mentioned hook ring 3 provided at the tip of the horizontal arm 5, which can be freely hooked and removed. protrusions 6A, 6 to be engaged with
In the embodiment, the horizontal arm 5 is held by a support 7 erected on one side of the automobile 1.

Although not shown, the height of the support column 7 can be adjusted by, for example, combining two members, and it has three support legs 8, 9, and 10 at its lower end so that it can stand on its own, in other words, it can be held. The entire tool 4 can be freely moved and installed at any desired position. Of these three support legs, two are front support legs 8 that extend in a straight line in the front and back direction at almost right angles to the horizontal arm 5;
This is the rear support leg 9, and the remaining one is 8, 9.
A lateral support leg 10 extends perpendicularly to the horizontal arm 5, that is, in substantially the same direction as the horizontal arm 5, and extends below the floor of the vehicle 1, and the length of the lateral support leg 10 is telescopically adjustable. Ground plates 11, 12, 13 are attached to the lower surface of the tip of each support leg 8, 9, 10, respectively, to ensure a stable standing posture of the support column 7 and thus the holder 4. In this case, the ground plates 11, 12, 13 can each be constructed of smooth rollers to further facilitate movement. As shown in FIG. 4, the base end of the horizontal arm 5 is slidably inserted into a sleeve 14 provided at the upper end of the support column 7, and is fixed by a fixing means (not shown). The extension length is adjustable. A pair of rotating arms, one rotating arm 15 extending toward the front of the vehicle and another rotating arm 16 extending toward the rear of the vehicle, are provided at the tip of the horizontal arm 5. , 16 are formed with the protrusions 6A, 6B at their tips (free ends). Furthermore, the pair of rotating arms 15 and 16 are approximately
The structure is such that it can be horizontally rotated 90 degrees toward the support column 7. Such rotating arms 15, 16 are
As shown in the figure, its base end is connected to pins 17 and 18.
is pivotably supported on the front and rear ends of a fixed arm 21 provided on the horizontal arm 5 so as to be horizontally rotatable.
It is designed so that it can take a folded position along the horizontal arm 5 (the position indicated by the dashed line in FIG. 5). The pair of rotary arms 15 and 16 in this folded position are configured such that their tips are placed on support bars 19 and 20 fixed to the horizontal arm 5.

Although not shown, each element 5, 7, 10 is
It is locked at the desired length (height) using a locking arrangement such as a locking bolt.

Next, the operation of the above-mentioned constituent device will be explained.
First, to explain the case of removing the vehicle body cover 2 placed over the vehicle 1, as shown in FIGS. to be installed. From this state, the hook ring 3 on the front half of the vehicle body cover 1 is hooked onto the protrusion 6A of the rotary arm 15 extending forward in order from the closest one. This order is shown in FIG. 1 as 1, 2, . . . . In this way, attach the frontmost hook ring 3 to the protrusion 6.
When hooked onto A, the front half of the vehicle body cover 2 is completely removed from the vehicle 1. Next, in the same manner, the hook ring 3 on the rear half of the vehicle body cover 2 is hooked onto the protrusion 6B of the rotary arm 16 extending rearward. The hooking order at this time is shown as 1', 2', . . . in FIG.

In this manner, the body cover 2 removed from the automobile 1 may be held by the holder 4 as it is. At this time, the pair of rotating arms 15, 16
If it is in the folded position, the storage space is small, and the support bars 19 and 20 are connected to the vehicle body cover 2.
Since the weight of the rotating arms 15 and 16 is supported, no unreasonable bending force is applied to the rotating arms 15 and 16. Of course, the holder 4
can be moved to an appropriate location while holding the vehicle body cover 2.

To attach the body cover 2 to the automobile 1, place the holder 4 holding the body cover 2 on one side of the automobile 1, and remove the hook ring 3 from the protrusions 6A and 6B, almost reversing the above procedure. This can be done using the following methods.

In addition, the length (height) of each element 5, 7, 10 is
It is adjusted as appropriate depending on the size of the automobile 1.

In this way, when attaching and detaching the vehicle body cover, the present invention completely handles each part of the numerous hook rings provided on the vehicle body cover, so that even one person can easily perform the attaching and detaching work. Furthermore, when the vehicle body cover is not in use, it can be left hanging on the holder, making it convenient for storing the vehicle body cover.
