Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "Field of Industrial Application" The present invention relates to an attachment structure for a rope hook for hooking a rope when securing a load to a truck loading platform with a rope.

"Conventional technology" Traditional rope hooks, such as the
As shown in Japanese Patent No. 81944, it is generally attached in advance to the outside of the truck bed in a protruding state.

However, rope hooks are not used all the time, but are used for the first time when lashing down cargo, so even when not in use, the rope hooks protruding outside of the loading platform, as in the past, are a nuisance. Not only that, but people were often injured by hitting parts of the human body.

For this reason, a retractable rope hook is provided, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 2136/1983.

The mounting structure of the retractable rope hook is such that the T-shaped rope hook body is supported on the loading platform of the truck so that it can freely extend and retract, and a recess is formed in the outer panel constituting the loading platform. The hook part formed at the tip of the rope hook body is housed, and the hook part is projected from the recess only when securing a load, so that the rope can be hooked onto the hook part. .

``Problems to be Solved by the Invention'' Therefore, since such a retractable rope hook can store its own hook part in the recess of the outer panel when not in use, it does not have the drawbacks of the protruding type rope hook mentioned above. On the other hand, the structure in which the hook part is stored in the recess of the panel when not in use has the advantage that, especially during the processing process of forming the recess in the outer panel, there is If an error occurs, the hook portion will not be stored in the recess in an ideal state, and the hook portion will be unnecessarily displaced within the recess, which will significantly impair the aesthetic appearance of the stored state. There were many.

"Means for Solving the Problems" Therefore, the present invention was developed to effectively solve the aesthetic problems of the conventional retractable type. An opening is formed in the outer panel, a resin cover clip is attached to the edge of the opening, a housing for a rope hook is fixed to the inner panel, and the end hook of the shaft is supported in the housing so as to be movable up and down. While adopting a structure in which the part appears and disappears from the cover clip body,
The cover clip body has a body part that forms an error absorption space between the hole edge of the opening and its own side wall surface when it is attached to the opening of the outer panel, and the body part has a passage inside thereof that is similar in shape to the hook part. At the same time, elastically deformable locking legs are formed on both side walls, a deformable flange portion is formed on the upper edge, a guide wall portion that is bent inward is formed on the lower edge, and a hook portion is formed. The cover clip body is attached to the opening edge of the outer panel by bringing the guide wall portion into contact with both side surfaces of the shaft body continuous from the cover clip body.

"Function" Therefore, in the present invention, even if there is an error between the opening of the outer panel and the hook, the guide wall at the lower end of the body of the cover clip body can be moved from the side of the shaft that is continuous from the hook. If the hook part is in contact with the opening edge of the outer panel, the hook part will always be located at the center of the body of the cover clip, so if the cover clip body is attached to the opening edge of the outer panel in this state, the hole edge of the opening and the cover clip body Utilizing the error absorbing space formed between the side wall surfaces of the body, the cover clip body can be moved freely by the error amount, or the flange portion of the cover clip body can be freely deformed by the error amount and installed. As a result, the hook portion can always be stored in the central position within the body.

``Example'' Below, the present invention will be described in detail based on an example illustrating the present invention.As shown in FIG. While forming an opening H, a cover clip body 5 made of resin, which will be described later, is attached to the edge of the opening H,
Attach the rope hook housing 1 to the other inner panel P2.
are fixed with bolts and nuts 4 through the fixing piece 1a, and the tip panel 3 is connected to the cover clip body 5 from the shaft body 2 which is supported in the housing 1 so as to be movable up and down.
The structure is such that it appears from above.

Further, the cover clip body 5 attached to the edge of the opening H is attached to the outer panel P as shown in FIGS. 2A to C.
When attached to the opening H edge of No. 1, the outer panel P1
An error absorption space 11 is formed between the opening hole edge and its own side wall surface.
The body 6 has a long body 6 that defines a passage similar to the shape of the hook 3 described above, and has an inverted U-shaped notch 10 on both sides of the body. 6 Forming a triangular locking leg 8 that elastically deforms inward and outward, and forming a thin flange portion 7 having a deformable shape, for example, a curved cross section, on the upper edge, and a guide that bends inward across the entire lower edge. Wall part 9
It is a configuration that forms a.

In addition, when the horizontally elongated panel 3 of the rope hook is housed in the body 6, the guide wall 9 comes into contact with both side surfaces 2a of the shaft body 2 that are continuous from the hook 3, and moves the hook 3. This functions to always position it at the center within the body 6.

After fixing the rope hook housing 1 to a predetermined location on the inner panel part 2 via the bolts and nuts 4, the hook part 3 is exposed to the inside of the body part 6, and the opening H edge of the outer panel P1 is fixed. When the cover clip body 5 is attached to the shaft body 2 via the locking leg 8, the end faces of the guide wall portion 9 come into contact with both side surfaces 2a of the shaft body 2, so that the hook portion 3 is always held as shown in FIG. This results in a state in which the cover clip body 5 is mounted centrally within the body 6.

In addition, when installing this, temporarily the outer panel P1
If there is a parallel error between the opening H of the shaft body 2 and the center line of the upper end hook portion 3 of the shaft body 2, the cover clip body 5 may be placed between the side wall surface of its body 6 and the hole edge of the opening 4. Using the error absorption space 11 formed,
The hook portion 3 is automatically moved by the parallel error and attached to the edge of the opening H, but even in this case, the hook portion 3 is brought into contact with the body portion 6 due to the guide wall portion 9 coming into contact with both side surfaces 2a of the shaft body 2. Since the hook portion 3 is positioned at the center position within the cover clip body 5, the hook portion 3
This results in an installation position located at the center of the area.

Furthermore, the center line of the opening 4 of the outer panel P1 and the shaft body 2
If the center lines of the upper end hook portions 3 intersect and there is an error, the cover clip body 5 adjusts its own flange portion 7 by the amount of the intersecting error.
is automatically deformed and attached to the edge of the opening H. In this case, too, the hook part 3 is brought into contact with the body part 6 by the abutment of the guide wall part 9 against both side surfaces 2a of the shaft body 2.
Since the hook part 3 is positioned at the center of the body part 6 of the cover clip body 5, an attached state is obtained in which the hook part 3 is located at the center of the body part 6 of the cover clip body 5.

That is, in the present embodiment, even if a parallel error or an intersection error occurs, the cover clip body 5 automatically absorbs the error, and at the same time, the hook portion 3 is always aligned with the trunk portion 6 of the cover clip body 5. It is possible to attach a rope hook in an ideal position where it is stored in the center of the interior.

Incidentally, the latter deformation of the flange portion 7 is also facilitated by elastic deformation via the inverted U-shaped notch groove 10 of the locking leg 8.

Therefore, after that, when the shaft body 2 supported in the housing 1 is raised and the hook portion 3 of the shaft body 2 is projected upward from the cover clip body 5, the rope is pulled against the hook portion 3. It is now possible to hang
Conversely, if the hook part 3 protruding upward is pushed down and the hook part 3 is housed in the cover clip body 5, the rope hook is in an unused state where the hook part 3 is located at the center of the body part 6 of the clip body 5. can be easily obtained.

``Effects of the Invention'' As described above, the present invention forms an opening in the outer panel among the inner and outer panels constituting the loading platform, attaches a resin cover clip body to the edge of the opening, and attaches a rope hook housing to the other inner panel. Fix it and
Assuming that the end hook portion of the shaft body supported in the housing so as to be movable up and down is configured to protrude and retract from the cover clip body, when the cover clip body is attached to the opening of the outer panel, the cover clip body is attached to the hole edge of the opening and its own side wall surface. It has a body part that forms an error absorption space therebetween,
The body defines a passage similar to the shape of the hook inside, has elastically deformable locking legs on both side walls, has a deformable flange on the upper edge, and has a deformable flange on the lower edge. A guide wall portion is formed to be bent inwardly, and the guide wall portion is brought into contact with both side surfaces of the shaft body continuous from the hook portion, and the cover clip body is attached to the opening edge of the outer panel. Because of this feature, the guide wall at the lower end of the body of the cover clip body comes into contact with both sides of the shaft body, making it possible to always position the hook part at the center within the body of the cover clip body. .

As a result, even if there is a parallel error between the opening of the outer panel and the hook, the cover clip maintains the center of the hook and automatically moves within the error absorbing space by the error. If it is attached to the edge of the opening and there is a crossing error, the cover clip body similarly maintains the center state of the hook part and automatically deforms its own flange part by the error and is attached. The Rukoto.

Therefore, in any case, the hook part is always stored at the center position within the body of the cover clip body, so that the hook part is not displaced during storage as in the conventional case.
It has become possible to completely prevent the appearance from being significantly damaged.
