The manual insertion part is closed.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-251678

  In the vehicle hook device of Patent Document 1, the lid is rotated to close the handle insertion portion as the leg is pressed by the handle and the leg is rotated downward. As long as the load from the handle is applied to the leg portion, the lid does not open from the handle insertion portion.

  However, when a large eco bag or the like is hooked on the hook and its bottom surface is attached to and supported by the vehicle bottom surface, the handle floats from the hook and leaves the leg portion. In this case, since the lid is in a freely rotating state, for example, when the vehicle is suddenly started or suddenly braked, the lid may rotate and the handle insertion part may be opened. There is a possibility that the hand may come off. Further, since the lid is intermittently opened and closed due to vibration of the vehicle and the like, the tip of the lid comes into contact with the tip of the hook or floats, and there is a possibility that an abnormal noise due to it may become a problem.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle hook device that reliably prevents the handle of the suspended body from coming off the hook and prevents the generation of abnormal noise.

In order to achieve the above object, a vehicle hook device according to the present invention includes a housing having a hook for hooking a handle of a suspended body and a fixing means to a mounting surface, and is rotatably attached to the housing. And a cover member that protrudes and retracts from a front upper opening of the housing so as to be openable and closable with respect to the handle insertion portion of the hook. An elastic member for biasing in the closing direction is provided, and the cover member is rotatably attached to a support shaft provided on the back side from the front surface of the housing via an arm extending on the back side. When the cover member is urged by the elastic member and protrudes from the front upper opening of the housing, a stopper is provided for restricting the maximum protruding position, and the cover portion The upper surface of the portion protruding from the front surface of the housing has a curved surface that gradually decreases toward the tip, and the curved surface has a normal direction at an arbitrary point of the curved surface in a cross section perpendicular to the support shaft. The cover member is drawn upward from the support shaft, and the cover member is pulled into the housing by pressing the upper surface of the cover member with the handle of the suspended body, and the handle is pulled to the hook. It is characterized by being hung.
Another aspect of the vehicle hook device of the present invention is a housing having a hook for hooking a handle of a suspended body and a fixing means to a mounting surface, and is rotatably attached to the housing. A cover member that protrudes and opens from the upper front opening of the housing so as to be openable and closable with respect to the handle insertion portion of the hook, and the housing has a direction in which the cover member is closed with respect to the handle insertion portion of the hook. An elastic member for biasing is provided, and the cover member is rotatably attached to a support shaft provided on the back side from the front surface of the housing via an arm extending on the back side. Is provided with a stopper for restricting the maximum projecting position when urged by the elastic member and projecting from the front upper opening of the housing, The upper surface of the portion protruding from the front surface of the groove forms a curved surface that gradually decreases toward the tip, and the curved surface has a normal direction at an arbitrary point of the curved surface in a cross section perpendicular to the supporting shaft. The elastic member extends a predetermined length from the bottom surface of the housing toward the back surface side, is bent in the middle, and the tip extends toward the upper front surface of the housing. It is characterized by being.

  In the vehicle hook device of the present invention, it is preferable that the elastic member is integrally formed with the housing.

  In the vehicle hook device of the present invention, the elastic member is exposed on the back surface and both side surfaces of the housing, and an opening having a position and a size capable of inserting the cover member from the back surface is formed. It is preferable that the fitting part of the said spindle is provided in the wall between the said opening and the front surface of the said both sides | surfaces.

  According to this invention, it can attach to the to-be-attached surface of a vehicle via a fixing means. When the handle of the suspended body is hooked and held on the hook, a cover member that is urged by an elastic member and protrudes from the upper opening of the housing is disposed in the handle insertion portion of the hook. When the handle is pressed against the upper surface of the cover member, the pressing force acts on the normal direction of the curved surface of the cover member upper surface, and the normal direction is a direction directed upward from the support shaft of the cover member. The cover member acts as a force for pushing the cover member into the housing, and the cover member can be pushed and hooked on the hook.

  When the handle is hooked on the hook, the cover member is again projected from the upper opening of the housing by the elastic member, and the handle insertion portion of the hook is closed. As a result, for example, when the suspended body is a large shopping bag and its bottom is attached to and supported by the floor of the vehicle, the handle lifts and tries to come off from the hook. Since the cover member is disposed so as to close the portion, it is possible to prevent the handle from coming off the hook.

  On the other hand, when the handle is removed from the hook in order to take out the suspended body, the handle is pressed against the lower surface of the protruding portion of the cover member. Then, a force that is pushed upward acts on the cover member. However, since the support shaft of the cover member is provided on the back side from the front surface of the housing, the cover member rotates so as to be pulled into the housing, and the hook The handle can be easily pulled out and removed from the handle insertion portion.

  Further, since the cover member is urged by the elastic member so as to protrude from the upper opening of the housing and is held at a predetermined protruding position by the stopper, the cover member is not rattled by vibrations of the vehicle and the like. Generation of sound can also be prevented.

On both sides, guide pieces 77 and 77 are provided which are inserted into the rectangular tube wall of the clip 40 when the pin is pushed.

  Next, the usage method and effect of the hook device 10 according to the present invention will be described.

  First, an example of a method for assembling the hook device 10 will be described. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, after the base portion 71 and the pushing portions 73, 73 of the pin 70 are aligned with the upper opening 25 and the pin slide concave portions 27, 27 of the housing 20, the pin 70 is moved to the rear surface 39 side of the housing 20. Push deeply into.

  Thereafter, the cover member 50 is mounted from the back surface 39 side of the housing 20 (see FIG. 1). That is, the protrusion 51 of the cover member 50 is inserted into the rear opening 39 a of the housing 20, and the protrusion 51 is opened through the housing internal space and the lower portion of the cover rotation recess 25 a and the upper opening 25 communicating with the housing 51. Project from 25. At the same time, the cover members 50 can be rotatably attached to the housing 20 by fitting the support shafts 60, 60 of the arm 55 to the fitting portions 37, 37 of the side surfaces 35, 35, respectively (see FIG. 4, 6 and 7).

  At this time, in this embodiment, openings 39a and 35a, 35a from which the elastic members 33, 33 are exposed are provided on the back surface 39 and both side surfaces 35, 35 of the housing 20, so that the cover member 50 is passed through the back surface opening 39a. Since it can be inserted into the housing, and when the supporting shafts 60, 60 are fitted into the fitting portions 37, 37 of the housing side surfaces 35, 35, fingers can be inserted from the side openings 35a, 35a, the housing 20 The cover member 50 can be attached smoothly and easily.

  Further, the openings 39a and 35a and 35a through which the elastic members 33 and 33 are exposed are provided on the rear surface 39 and the both side surfaces 35 and 35 of the housing 20, so that the housing 20 is divided by, for example, a parting line PL as shown in FIG. The elastic member 33 can be integrally formed with the housing 20 by using the moving mold, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Further, the elastic member 33 can be prevented from being broken or damaged to improve the elastic force. Can do.

  In the assembled state, the base portion 71 of the pin 70 is inserted and disposed in the cover rotating recess 25a of the housing 20 so that the base portion 71 is on the back side of the protruding portion 51 of the cover member 50. Are inserted into the pin slide recesses 27, 27 of the housing 20 and arranged on both sides in the width direction of the protrusion 51, and the pins 70 are mounted so as to be able to be pushed into the housing 20 (FIG. 5). 6).

  Further, in the assembled state, the contact leg portions 64 and 64 of the cover member 50 are in contact with the elastic members 33 and 33 to bend and deform, so that the elastic force S from the elastic member 33 is shown in FIG. Acts upward, and the rotational moment M acts in the direction of the arrow in the figure in relation to the rotation center C (meaning the center of the support shaft 60) of the cover member 50 located below the cover member 50. The protruding portion 51 of the member 50 is urged to rotate in a direction protruding from the upper opening 25 so that the handle insertion portion 24 is always closed.

  When the hook device 10 assembled as described above is attached to the surface of the trim member 5 which is a surface to be attached, it is performed as follows. That is, the mounting hole 3 of the panel member 1 and the insertion hole 7 of the trim member 5 disposed on the front side thereof are aligned, the clip 40 of the hook device 10 is inserted toward the mounting hole 3, and the elastic engagement piece 41 and 41 are engaged with the rear peripheral edge of the mounting hole 3, and the flange portion 29 of the housing 20 is engaged with the front peripheral edge of the insertion hole 7, so that the panel member 1 and the trim member 5 are formed by the clip 40 and the flange portion 29. The hook device 10 can be attached in a state in which is inserted (see FIG. 6).

  And when hooking the handle H (refer FIG. 6) of suspended bodies, such as a shopping bag, a shopping bag, and an eco bag, on the hook 23 of the hook apparatus 10, it carries out as follows.

  That is, the handle H of the suspended body is disposed on the upper surface of the protruding portion 51 that protrudes from the upper opening 25 and closes the handle insertion portion 24, and presses the protruding portion 51. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the pressing force F acts in the direction of gravity, but is decomposed by the curved surface 53 into a tangential pressing force F <b> 1 of the curved surface 53 and a pressing force F <b> 2 in the normal direction of the curved surface 53. At this time, since the handle H slides on the curved surface 53, the pressing force F1 in the tangential direction hardly acts, and the pressing force F2 along the normal direction of the curved surface 53 mainly acts. Since the normal direction is a direction upward from the support shaft 60 of the cover member 50, the pressing force F <b> 2 along the normal direction acts as a force for pressing the cover member 50 into the housing and protrudes from the upper opening 25. The part 51 can be pulled in (see the imaginary line in FIG. 6), and the handle insertion part 24 can be opened and the handle H can be hooked on the hook 23.

  When the handle H is hooked on the hook 23, the elastic member 33 causes the protruding portion 51 of the cover member 50 to protrude again from the upper opening 25 of the housing 20 and close the handle inserting portion 24. . As a result, for example, even if the suspended body is a large shopping bag, an eco bag, or the like, and the bottom surface of the bag is supported by being supported by the floor of the vehicle, the handle H is lifted from the hook 23. It can be reliably prevented from coming off.

  On the other hand, when the handle H is removed from the hook 23 in order to take out the suspended body, the handle H is pulled up. Then, the handle H is pressed against the lower surface of the projecting portion 51, and a force that pushes the projecting portion 51 upward acts. At this time, since the support shaft 60 of the cover member 50 is provided on the rear side of the front surface 21 of the housing 20, the cover member 50 is rotated so as to be pulled into the housing 20 (see the imaginary line in FIG. 6). The handle H can be easily pulled out and removed from the manual insertion portion 24, and convenience is improved.

  Further, the cover member 50 is elastically biased by the elastic member 33 so as to protrude from the upper opening 25, but as shown in FIG. 6, a stopper comprising the front surface of the support portion 57 and the front surface of the side portion 58 of the cover member 50. 62 is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the upper opening 25 of the housing 20 and the inner wall surface of the front surface 21 and the protruding portion 51 is held at a predetermined protruding position. Generation of sound can be prevented.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, each elastic member 33 extends from the bottom surface 31 of the housing 20 toward the back surface 39, and its tip is directed above the front surface 21 of the housing 20. Since it is extended, the extended length of the elastic member 33 can be ensured long, the amount of elastic deformation thereof can be increased, and an elastic biasing force can be stably applied to the cover member 50. . Further, since the elastic member 33 is integrally formed with the housing 20, the number of parts of the hook device 10 can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost and the man-hour can be reduced.

  By the way, there is a case where it is desired to remove the hook device 10 from the mounted surface. In this case, the pushing portions 73 and 73 of the pin 70 are pushed toward the back side of the housing with a finger or the like, and the free ends 41b and 41b of the elastic engagement pieces 41 are formed by the pressing projections 75 having a concave shape on the back side of the pin 70. The elastic engagement pieces 41 and 41 are bent inward by pressing so as to be closed, and the engagement with the attachment hole 3 is released. Thereafter, by pulling out the clip 40 from the mounting hole 3, the hook device 10 can be detached from the surface to be mounted.

  As shown in FIG. 7, even if the cover member 50 rotates to the maximum in the direction in which the protruding portion 51 is pulled from the upper opening 25 against the urging force of the elastic member 33, the notch portion of the pin 70. Since the protruding portion 51 comes into contact with the restricting protruding portion 25b protruding from 71a, the protruding portion 51 prevents the base portion 71 of the pin 70 from being pushed and prevents the protruding portion 51 from being excessively drawn from the upper opening 25. be able to.
