＜第１実施形態＞
図１を参照すると、第１実施形態に係るルーフキャリヤーが、車両３の車体４のルーフ５上に配置されている。ルーフキャリヤーは、例えば、スキー板、スノーボードやその他の積載物をルーフ５上に積載するルーフラック２と、ルーフラック２のルーフ５に対する固定手段１０とを含む。図１には、車両３の横方向における内側Ａと外側Ｂの他に、上側Ｃ、下側Ｄ、前側Ｅ、後側Ｆが矢印で示されている。 <First Embodiment>
Referring to FIG. 1, the roof carrier according to the first embodiment is disposed on the roof 5 of the vehicle body 4 of the vehicle 3. The roof carrier includes, for example, a roof rack 2 on which skis, snowboards, and other loads are loaded on the roof 5, and fixing means 10 for the roof rack 2 to the roof 5. In FIG. 1, in addition to the inner side A and the outer side B in the lateral direction of the vehicle 3, an upper side C, a lower side D, a front side E, and a rear side F are indicated by arrows.

ルーフラック２は、図示の実施形態では、ルーフ５を横断するクロスバーであるクロス部材７と、クロス部材７を支持する一対のステー部材２０とを含む。ステー部材２０は、一般に、クロス部材７に対してその横方向に移動調整可能に連結される。両ステー部材２０の横方向の間隔をルーフ５の横幅に対応させるためである。クロス部材７は、クロスバーに替えて、複数のバーから組み立てられるフレームであってもよい。ルーフラック２は、固定手段１０を介してルーフ５上に固定される。 In the illustrated embodiment, the roof rack 2 includes a cross member 7 that is a cross bar that crosses the roof 5, and a pair of stay members 20 that support the cross member 7. The stay member 20 is generally connected to the cross member 7 so as to be movable and adjustable in the lateral direction. This is because the horizontal distance between the two stay members 20 corresponds to the horizontal width of the roof 5. The cross member 7 may be a frame assembled from a plurality of bars instead of the cross bar. The roof rack 2 is fixed on the roof 5 via fixing means 10.

図１−５を参照すると、固定手段１０は、軸心１７ｚを有するボルト１７と、ドーナツ型円盤１８と、ステー部材２０の上面に摺動可能に重ね合わせられ、ボルト１７が貫通する縦長のボルト孔（第２ボルト孔）３２を有していて、ルーフエッジ６に係合するフック部材３０と、ボルト１７が貫通するボルト孔（第３ボルト孔）４１を有する回動阻止媒介部材４０と、ボルト１７に螺合するナット１９に対しての収容部５３とボルト孔（第４ボルト孔）５３ａとを有するノブ部材５０と、ノブ部材５０を覆うカバー部材６０とを含む。固定手段１０を構成する前記各部材は、図２に示す互いの配置関係にある。 1-5, the fixing means 10 includes a bolt 17 having an axis 17z, a donut disk 18 and a vertically long bolt that is slidably superimposed on the upper surface of the stay member 20 and through which the bolt 17 passes. A hook member 30 having a hole (second bolt hole) 32 and engaging the roof edge 6; and a rotation preventing medium member 40 having a bolt hole (third bolt hole) 41 through which the bolt 17 passes, A knob member 50 having an accommodating portion 53 and a bolt hole (fourth bolt hole) 53a for the nut 19 screwed into the bolt 17 and a cover member 60 covering the knob member 50 are included. The respective members constituting the fixing means 10 are in an arrangement relationship with each other as shown in FIG.

ステー部材２０は、ボルト１７の角根部１７ａが嵌合する角形のボルト孔（第１ボルト孔）２４と、ボルト孔２４から上方へ適宜離間する部位に傾斜する被摺動凹部２５とを有する。ボルト１７は、頭部１７ｂと、頭部１７ｂにつながる角根部１７ａを有し、ボルト孔２４に角根部１７ａが嵌合することにより、ステー部材２０に対するボルト１７の回動が阻止される。ステー部材２０は、ルーフ５に対する圧接によって生じる該ルーフの圧接痕や塗装剥離等の損傷を未然に防止するため、下端部が合成樹脂やゴム等の比較的軟質の材料から形成されるパッド２０ａで覆われる。角根部１７ａがボルト孔２４に嵌合したボルト１７には、ゴムや軟質合成樹脂等の弾性材料で形成されたドーナツ型円盤１８が嵌められて、ルーフキャリヤー組立時においてのボルト１７がステー部材２０から脱落することを防止する。 The stay member 20 includes a square bolt hole (first bolt hole) 24 into which the square root portion 17 a of the bolt 17 is fitted, and a sliding recessed portion 25 that is inclined to a portion that is appropriately spaced upward from the bolt hole 24. The bolt 17 has a head portion 17b and a corner root portion 17a connected to the head portion 17b. When the corner root portion 17a is fitted into the bolt hole 24, the rotation of the bolt 17 with respect to the stay member 20 is prevented. The stay member 20 is a pad 20a whose lower end portion is formed of a relatively soft material such as synthetic resin or rubber in order to prevent damage such as pressure contact marks or paint peeling of the roof caused by pressure contact with the roof 5. Covered. A bolt 17 having a square root portion 17a fitted in the bolt hole 24 is fitted with a donut disk 18 formed of an elastic material such as rubber or soft synthetic resin, and the bolt 17 at the time of assembling the roof carrier is used as the stay member 20. Prevents falling off.

フック部材３０は、下端側における前後方向の長さ寸法が、上端側における前後方向の長さ寸法よりも大きく形成され、下端側にルーフエッジ６に係合するフック部３１を有し、略中央にボルト１７が貫通しフック部材３０においての上下方向への移動を許す上下方向に長い長円形のボルト孔３２（第２ボルト孔）を有し、上端側にステー部材２０の被摺動凹部２５に当接する摺動部３３を有する。 The hook member 30 has a hook portion 31 that has a length dimension in the front-rear direction on the lower end side that is larger than a length dimension in the front-rear direction on the upper end side, and engages with the roof edge 6 on the lower end side. The bolt 17 penetrates the hook member 30 and has a vertically long oval bolt hole 32 (second bolt hole) that allows the hook member 30 to move in the vertical direction. And a sliding portion 33 that comes into contact with.

回動阻止媒介部材４０は、例えば金属や熱可塑性合成樹脂によってほぼ横長矩形に形成されていて、中央部にあってボルト１７が貫通するボルト孔４１と、両端部に位置する一対の係合孔４４と、ボルト孔４１の周縁から内側Ａに突出してフック部材３０のボルト孔３２に係合する弧形の一対の回動阻止突起部４２ａ，４２ｂ（図３参照）と、ボルト孔４１の周縁から外側Ｂへ突出する円筒形のボス部４３とを有する。図３は回動阻止媒介部材４０の内面側を示す図であって、その内面側は図２においてフック部材３０に対向している。図３には、そのフック部材３０におけるボルト孔３２の周縁が仮想線で示されている。長円形のボルト孔３２は、前後方向に短径ｑを有する。一方、回動阻止突起部４２ａ，４２ｂそれぞれは、前後方向に両端部４５ａと４５ｂとのそれぞれを有し、両端部４５ａどうしの離間距離と両端部４５ｂどうしの離間距離とは同じであって、その距離はｐである。距離ｐは、フック部材３０の短径ｑよりも僅かに小さく、回動阻止突起部４２ａ，４２ｂがボルト孔３２に挿入された状態では、回動阻止媒介部材４０がボルト孔４１を中心に回転しようとすると、回動阻止突起部４２ａ，４２ｂにおける両端部４５ａ，４５ｂのうちのいずれかがボルト孔３２の周縁に当接するので、突起部４２ａ，４２ｂはボルト孔３２の内側で回転することがない。したがってまた、回動阻止媒介部材４０も、フック部材３０に対して回転することがない。そのことはさらに、回動阻止媒介部材４０がボルト孔４１に挿入されているボルト１７（後記図６参照）を中心にして回転するということがないことを意味している。なお、図３において、一対の係合孔４４の前後方向では、係合孔４４の側縁部４４ａどうしが距離ｓだけ離間している。 The rotation prevention medium member 40 is formed in a substantially horizontally long rectangle by, for example, metal or thermoplastic synthetic resin, and has a bolt hole 41 through which the bolt 17 penetrates in the center and a pair of engagement holes located at both ends. 44, a pair of arc-shaped rotation-preventing protrusions 42a and 42b (see FIG. 3) that protrude inward A from the periphery of the bolt hole 41 and engage with the bolt hole 32 of the hook member 30, and the periphery of the bolt hole 41 And a cylindrical boss portion 43 projecting from the outer side B to the outer side B. FIG. 3 is a view showing the inner surface side of the rotation prevention medium member 40, and the inner surface side faces the hook member 30 in FIG. 2. In FIG. 3, the peripheral edge of the bolt hole 32 in the hook member 30 is indicated by an imaginary line. The oval bolt hole 32 has a minor axis q in the front-rear direction. On the other hand, each of the rotation prevention protrusions 42a and 42b has both ends 45a and 45b in the front-rear direction, and the separation distance between both ends 45a and the separation distance between both ends 45b are the same, The distance is p. The distance p is slightly smaller than the minor axis q of the hook member 30, and when the rotation prevention protrusions 42 a and 42 b are inserted into the bolt holes 32, the rotation prevention medium member 40 rotates around the bolt holes 41. When trying to do so, either one of the end portions 45a, 45b of the rotation preventing projections 42a, 42b abuts on the periphery of the bolt hole 32, so that the projections 42a, 42b can rotate inside the bolt hole 32. Absent. Therefore, the rotation preventing medium member 40 does not rotate with respect to the hook member 30. This further means that the rotation prevention medium member 40 does not rotate around the bolt 17 (see FIG. 6 described later) inserted in the bolt hole 41. In FIG. 3, in the front-rear direction of the pair of engagement holes 44, the side edge portions 44a of the engagement holes 44 are separated by a distance s.

ノブ部材５０は、例えば、熱可塑性合成樹脂材料から断面がほぼ円形を成すように形成され、図２，４（ａ）及び（ｂ）に示すように、内筒部５１と、内筒部５１と同軸の外筒部５２とを有し、内筒部５１と外筒部５２との内端部が径方向の外側に向かって広がるフランジ部５９につながっている。内筒部５１の周壁部５３ａによってナット１９の収容部５３が形成される。収容部５３は、径方向の断面形状が六角形であって、ナット１９が回動不能に嵌合する。なお、図４の（ａ）は、ノブ部材５０の頂部を示す図であり、（ｂ）は（ａ）のＹ−Ｙ線断面図である。頂部とは、車両３の横方向における最外側部である。 The knob member 50 is formed, for example, from a thermoplastic synthetic resin material so as to have a substantially circular cross section, and as shown in FIGS. 2, 4 (a) and (b), the inner cylinder portion 51 and the inner cylinder portion 51. And the outer cylinder part 52 which is coaxial, and the inner ends of the inner cylinder part 51 and the outer cylinder part 52 are connected to a flange part 59 which expands outward in the radial direction. The housing portion 53 of the nut 19 is formed by the peripheral wall portion 53 a of the inner cylinder portion 51. The accommodating portion 53 has a hexagonal sectional shape in the radial direction, and the nut 19 is fitted so as not to rotate. 4A is a view showing the top of the knob member 50, and FIG. 4B is a cross-sectional view taken along line YY of FIG. 4A. The top portion is the outermost portion in the lateral direction of the vehicle 3.

ノブ部材５０の収容部５３では、周壁部５３ａの一部分に弾性変形可能な抜け止め用の舌片部５４が形成されている。舌片部５４は、外側Ｂから内側Ａに向かって延びていて、収容部５３の径内方向に傾斜して臨む（図４（ｂ）において実線で示す）から、収容部５３に外側Ｂから挿入されるナット１９によって押圧されると、収容部５３の径外方向へ弾性変形する（図４（ｂ）に二点鎖線で示す）。内筒部５１の内端部には径方向内側へ広がる内側フランジ部５６があって、収容部５３に挿入されたナット１９が当接する。内側フランジ部５６の中央にはボルト孔５３ａ（第４ボルト孔）が形成されている。 In the accommodating part 53 of the knob member 50, a tongue piece part 54 for retaining the elastically deformable part is formed in a part of the peripheral wall part 53a. The tongue piece 54 extends from the outer side B toward the inner side A, and is inclined toward the inner radial direction of the housing portion 53 (shown by a solid line in FIG. 4B). When pressed by the inserted nut 19, it elastically deforms in the radially outward direction of the accommodating portion 53 (indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 4B). The inner end portion of the inner cylinder portion 51 has an inner flange portion 56 that extends radially inward, and the nut 19 inserted into the housing portion 53 contacts. A bolt hole 53 a (fourth bolt hole) is formed at the center of the inner flange portion 56.

ノブ部材５０は、外筒部５２の外周面５２ａに複数の係合溝部５７を有する（図４（ａ）参照）。係合溝部５７は、フランジ部５９から外側Ｂへ延びていて、外端部が開放状態にある。係合溝部５７は、例えば、外筒部５２の周方向に等間隔で形成されることが好ましいが、必ずしもそうでなくてもよい。 The knob member 50 has a plurality of engaging groove portions 57 on the outer peripheral surface 52a of the outer cylinder portion 52 (see FIG. 4A). The engaging groove portion 57 extends from the flange portion 59 to the outer side B, and the outer end portion is in an open state. For example, the engagement groove portions 57 are preferably formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the outer cylinder portion 52, but this is not necessarily required.

ノブ部材５０は、図４に示すように、内筒部５１と外筒部５２との間に、フランジ部５９から外側Ｂへ延びて開口する複数の凹部５８を有する。 As shown in FIG. 4, the knob member 50 has a plurality of recesses 58 that extend from the flange portion 59 to the outer side B and open between the inner cylinder portion 51 and the outer cylinder portion 52.

カバー部材６０は、例えば、合成樹脂材料から一端部が閉じる円筒形に形成され、図２，５（ａ）に示すように、ノブ部材５０を覆う頂部６１ａと、筒部６２と、筒部６２で画成される開口端部６１ｂとを有する。筒部６２は、上部６３と、下部６４とを有し、頂部６１ａから開口端部６１ｂまでの上部６３の長さ寸法Ｌ１は、頂部６１ａから開口端部６１ｂまでの下部６４の長さ寸法Ｌ２よりも大きく形成される。なお、図５の（ａ）はカバー部材６０の上下方向断面図であり、（ｂ）はカバー部材６０の斜視図である。 The cover member 60 is formed in, for example, a cylindrical shape whose one end is closed from a synthetic resin material, and as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5A, a top portion 61 a that covers the knob member 50, a cylindrical portion 62, and a cylindrical portion 62. And an open end 61b defined by The cylindrical part 62 has an upper part 63 and a lower part 64, and the length dimension L1 of the upper part 63 from the top part 61a to the opening end part 61b is the length dimension L2 of the lower part 64 from the top part 61a to the opening end part 61b. Is formed larger. 5A is a vertical sectional view of the cover member 60, and FIG. 5B is a perspective view of the cover member 60.

カバー部材６０の筒部６２は、内周面６５に複数の係合突出部６６を有する。詳しくは、内周面６５には、筒部６２の上部６３と下部６４とにそれぞれ二つの係合突出部６６が筒部６２の周方向に等間隔に位置する。 The cylindrical portion 62 of the cover member 60 has a plurality of engaging protrusions 66 on the inner peripheral surface 65. Specifically, on the inner peripheral surface 65, two engaging protrusions 66 are positioned at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical part 62 on the upper part 63 and the lower part 64 of the cylindrical part 62.

カバー部材６０は、下部６４から内側Ａに向かって延出していて、先端部分に径方向の外側に突出する爪部６７ａが形成されている弾性変形可能な一対の係合部６７を有する。一対の係合部６７は、カバー部材６０の径方向で対向するように形成されていて、爪部６７ａと６７ａとの間に外寸ｒを有する。外寸ｒは、回動阻止媒介部材４０の係合孔４４における側縁部４４ａどうしの距離ｓ（図３参照）よりも大きく、係合部６７を係合孔４４に挿入しようとするときに、爪部６７ａが径内方向へ押圧されると、係合部６７もまた同方向へ弾性変形する。各爪部６７ａは、回動阻止媒介部材４０の係合孔４４への挿入を容易にするための傾斜部６７ｂを有する。挿入後の係合部６７は、弾性的に復帰していて、それを係合孔４４から抜き取ろうとすると、爪部６７ａが係合孔４４の側縁部４４ａに当接して、その抜き取りが阻止される。 The cover member 60 has a pair of elastically deformable engaging portions 67 extending from the lower portion 64 toward the inner side A, and having claw portions 67a protruding outward in the radial direction at the tip portion. The pair of engaging portions 67 are formed so as to face each other in the radial direction of the cover member 60, and have an outer dimension r between the claw portions 67a and 67a. The outer dimension r is larger than the distance s (see FIG. 3) between the side edge portions 44a of the engagement hole 44 of the rotation prevention medium member 40, and when the engagement portion 67 is to be inserted into the engagement hole 44. When the claw portion 67a is pressed in the radially inward direction, the engaging portion 67 is also elastically deformed in the same direction. Each claw portion 67a has an inclined portion 67b for facilitating insertion of the rotation prevention mediating member 40 into the engagement hole 44. After the insertion, the engaging portion 67 is elastically restored.

Since the first rotation preventing means for engaging the engaging portion 67 of the cover member 60 is provided, the cover member can be prevented from rotating around the bolt 17 and the knob member 50 can be prevented from rotating. Since the second rotation prevention means for engaging the engagement protrusion portion 66 of the cover member with the engagement groove portion 57 is provided, the knob member can be prevented from rotating about the bolt 17. it can. Therefore, loosening of the relative screwing between the bolt 17 and the nut 19 can be prevented.

合成樹脂材料の射出成形では、射出成形物の金型内での冷却速度を一様にしたり、冷却時間を短縮したり、使用材料を節約したりすること等を目的として、射出成形物の厚さが均一となるように、射出成形物の肉厚部分に凹部（いわゆる肉盗み）を形成するのが一般的である。 In the injection molding of synthetic resin materials, the thickness of the injection molded product is intended to make the cooling rate of the injection molded product uniform in the mold, shorten the cooling time, and save the material used. In general, a concave portion (so-called meat stealing) is formed in the thick portion of the injection molded product so that the thickness is uniform.

図示形状のノブ部材５０は、合成樹脂材料の射出成形よって製造するのに好適なもので、肉盗みである凹部５８が外側Ｂから内側Ａに向かってくぼむように形成されていて、フランジ部５９が凹部５８の底面部になっている。なお、ノブ部材５０において、凹部が内側Ａから外側Ｂに向かってくぼむように形成されている場合には、車両３の走行中にフック部材３０とカバー部材６０との間に進入する空気の一部がその凹部へと流れて、大きな風切音の発生することがある。フック部材３０に向かって平坦な面を有するフランジ部５９は、フック部材３０との間において空気がスムーズに流れることを可能にするので、そのような風切音の発生を抑えることができる。ノブ部材５０を覆うカバー部材６０は、車両の走行中に空気が凹部５８に進入して風切音が発生することを防ぐことができる。 The knob member 50 having the illustrated shape is suitable for manufacturing by injection molding of a synthetic resin material. A concave portion 58 that is a meat stealer is formed so as to be recessed from the outer side B toward the inner side A, and the flange portion 59 is formed. It is the bottom surface of the recess 58. In the knob member 50, when the concave portion is formed so as to be recessed from the inner side A toward the outer side B, a part of the air entering between the hook member 30 and the cover member 60 during the traveling of the vehicle 3. May flow into the recess and generate a loud wind noise. The flange portion 59 having a flat surface toward the hook member 30 enables air to flow smoothly between the hook member 30 and the generation of such wind noise can be suppressed. The cover member 60 covering the knob member 50 can prevent air from entering the recess 58 and generating wind noise while the vehicle is running.

カバー部材６０は、上部６３の長さＬ１が、下部６４の長さＬ２よりも大きい（図５参照）。上部６３は、その長さＬ１を大きくすることによって、フック部材３０との間のクリアランスを極力小さくし、車両走行中に空気がそのクリアランスへ進入することを防いでいる。下部６４は、その長さＬ２を長さＬ１と同じにしてもよいのであるが、フック部材３０の形状や使用状態によって生じる可能性のあるフック部材３０との接触を避けるために、長さＬ２を長さ１よりも短くしてある。 In the cover member 60, the length L1 of the upper part 63 is larger than the length L2 of the lower part 64 (see FIG. 5). The upper portion 63 increases the length L1 to minimize the clearance with the hook member 30 and prevent air from entering the clearance while the vehicle is traveling. The length L2 of the lower portion 64 may be the same as the length L1, but in order to avoid contact with the hook member 30 that may occur depending on the shape and use state of the hook member 30, the length L2 Is shorter than length 1.
