Abstract

Method on a fixable container (1) for mounting on a pulling hook (10) or clutch on especially cars (12), and where the container (1) has more integrated functions. And where the container (1) or, the 'Multibag' (1) name of us, has means for an integrated fixable system (11), which manually without use of tools directly could be operated. And by which the container (1) can be fixed or dis-mounted on or to especially coupling system (10) or like (10) on a car (12). Where the fixable system is a tong-arrangement (11) a la a holding arrangement of bicycles or skis (11). And where this (11) indirect also itself is fixed (9) to the back wall in the container (1), but still is moveable and function-able in itself.

Description

METHOD OF MOUNTING A BOX AND A BOX SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY FOR CARS.

The purpose with this invention is, to show a method as an example of an easy fixable container system especially for cars, where the container furthermore and ideal can have more integrated functions The system would especially be ideal for golf equipment, and belonging functions in combination with activities around this sport

Hitherto has one been forced to use the normally luggage rack in a car, when one want to have as an example the golf equipment with one And this has earlier partly be possible to do, where one had big cars with big trunks or luggage rack available But now where the cars are produced smaller and smaller, there are the trunks or luggage rack also been smaller, and they can hardly enough or not at all contain a bag of golf clubs and like

Hitherto has one also had a great many disadvantages with changing into golf equipment, when one were out on the locality or on the golf course, as an example the changing to golf shoes often was a very difficult course of the balance

Hitherto has one also tried to use containers, which were mounted on the roof of the car But here has the weight alone of the golf equipment done that this solution do not has been used

With the invention is made one for the container integrated fixing system, which manually, without use of tools, direct can be operated or be served, by which the container ideal can be fixed as dismounted on or to a pulling hook of a car

This can be obtained according to invention, by integrate as partly fix a movable tongs arrangement, a la a holders arrangement for bicycles or skies, against the back wall of the container, or as we call the container the "Multibag" And where there in the bottom of the container can be established a hole for passage of the pulling hook or the clutch of the car As one then only shall lower the container down over the clutch into mesh with the open tang or the holder arrangement for bicycles or skies, which after this can be closed manually, and by which that the whole container or box into an ideal vertical position is locked in steady position to the car

In a specially embodiment for the transport container or box, then can one facilitate the transport to and from the cars, by equip the container or the box itself with wheels Which ideal could be detachable or perhaps could be tip to the side, or down under the bottom of the container, or perhaps be mounted on another ideal way

In another embodiment, then could one equipped the box or container with a sitting plate, which in an ideal design could be a part of a sitting lid So that this ideal could be used for both sitting arrangements, but also in the same time, be made with such dimensions and be placed such that one in the same time could obtain a low lifting height, as an example for golf bags, when they shall be put into the container

In further another or supplementary embodiment, then could one arranged the lid as a separate room for smaller parts as an example shoes, wheels, clothing and like

The container could also ideal be equipped with handles on the sides So that the box or the container, when it is dismounted from the car, easily can be transported away

The handles could also ideally be equipped as countersunk handles Alternatively one could think, that one could have a pull rod, which one then could pull or move the container with The invention should after this be explained nearer in the following according to the drawing, where

Fig 1 shows in perspective a container placed on the ground, and resting on wheels

Fig 2 shows a section of a container seen from the upper and with an open top lid

Fig 3 shows a section of a container seen from the side and connected to the rear end of a motorcar

Fig 3a shows a section of a container seen from the front, and with a fixing arrangement a la an arrangement of bicycles or skies around a clutch or hook on a motorcar, and

Fig 4 shows a section in a container seen from the side, and with the front lid get down, as a seat

Fig 1 shows in perspective a container 1 placed on the ground 8, and resting on wheels 5. As one here easily can see both a countersink handle of transport 4, as a sitting lid 3, as a top lid 2

The top lid 2 will here indirectly could locked for the side lid 3, so that one not easy by this way would be able to break into the container 1

Because the container 1 is placed behind of the car 12, so will this cover the number or licences plate, why it will be necessary with an extra number or license plate 13. And this 13 could ideal be placed on the edge of the top lid 2 Stop -or breaking light and so could ideally be integrated in the construction of the top lid 2 itself Alternative could one use a freely or loose arrangement of number plates as generally known By installing a bit bigger wheels on the container 1 than there is shown on the figure, then will one also be able to pull the container 1 or the " Multibag" 1 out on the golf course.

Fig 2. shows a section of a container 1 seen from upper and with open top lid 2.

In the lid 2 could ideally be placed wheels 5 as shoes 2. And these 5 as 2 could be secured against moving around, by having an extra bottom 14 in the lid 2. The extra bottom 14 should of course be an integrated part of the lid 14 itself, as it could be permanently coupled to the outer lid 2 by hinges.

To obtain an optimal ventilation of the contents in the lid store 6, so could the extra bottom 14 be equipped with air holes 15 as shown on the figure.

Fig. 3 shows a section of a container 1 seen from the side and coupled to the back of a car 12 or like 12. As there clearly are shown that the container itself 1 will be guided and carried of the holding arrangement of bicycle-or ski 11.

The container 1 ought mounted on the car 12, ideal not be higher than, that the driver of the car 12 would be able to have view through minimum the upper part of the back window.

The wheels 5 under the container 1 should also be either dis- mountable, or they should ideal be able to be swung under the container 1, so that they 5 were laying plane with the bottom of the container. And they 5 ought perhaps ideal to be able to be countersunk, in such a way that they do not were projected over the area of the plan of the bottom.

Fig 3a shows a section of a container 1 seen from the front, and with a holding arrangement of bicycle-or skies a la a tong 11 around a pulling hook 10 on a car 12 or a vehicle 12. The holding arrangement of bicycles -or skies 11, which is made or designed as an arrangement of scissor 11, is fixed to the back wall of the container itself 1 But still is the fixing made in such a way that one freely can manoeuvre with the arrangement 11. Which would say, that one freely both can open and close or lock the scissor arrangement 11 or holding arrangement of bicycles -or skies 11

The handles on the holding arrangement of bicycles - or skies 11 work also as a lifting means, when the container 1 respectively shall be lifted up on the pulling hook 10 of cars 12 , as the container 1 should be lifted down of the pulling hook 10 on the car 12, and down to the ground 8 or floor 8.

Fig 4 shows a section in a container 1 seen from the side, and with the front lid 3 let down as a seat 3

The seat 3 should of course have a hinge arrangement, which is mounted or placed in a high, which fit to a normal high of a seat

The flap or the lid 3 could be supported by a middle leg 16, as shown on the figure Or one could have a supporting triangle close by the folding edge itself, so that this support respectively the side of the container 1, as on the bottom of the seat 3 itself, or the outer of the lid of seat 3
