Description

本発明は、オープンカー等の車両前後方向に出し入れ可能に構成されたルーフ部材を車両本体上部を覆った状態で車両本体側に固定する固定装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a fixing device that fixes a roof member, such as an open car, that can be inserted and removed in the vehicle front-rear direction to the vehicle body side in a state of covering an upper portion of the vehicle body.

従来より、一般的なオープンカーのルーフ部材は、車両前後方向に出し入れ可能に構成され、車両後方に移動させた状態で車両本体上部を開放する一方、車両前方に引き出した状態で車両本体上部を覆うようになっている。上記ルーフ部材は、車両本体上部を覆った状態で固定装置により車両本体側に固定されるようになっていて、例えば、特許文献１の固定装置は、ルーフ部材の引き出し側裏面にベース部材が固定されていて、乗員が操作する操作レバーの一端近傍が上記ベース部材に第１水平支軸により車両前後方向に回動可能に軸支されている。上記操作レバーの一端には、第２水平支軸によりリンクプレートの後端が回動可能に軸支されていて、該リンクプレートは、上記ルーフ部材に沿って車両前後方向に移動可能となっている。上記リンクプレートの前端には、一端にフック部を有する係合部材の他端が第３水平支軸により車両前後方向に回動可能に軸支されている。上記係合部材には、左右に突出するガイドピンが設けられていて、上記ベース部材の側面に形成された略Ｌ字状のガイド溝に移動可能に係合している。一方、車両本体側には、上記フック部が係脱可能に係合するストライカが設けられている。   Conventionally, a roof member of a general open car is configured to be able to be taken in and out in the vehicle front-rear direction, and opens the upper part of the vehicle body when moved rearward of the vehicle, while the upper part of the vehicle body is pulled out toward the front of the vehicle. It comes to cover. The roof member is fixed to the vehicle main body side by a fixing device in a state of covering the upper portion of the vehicle main body. For example, in the fixing device of Patent Document 1, the base member is fixed to the rear surface on the drawer side of the roof member. Thus, the vicinity of one end of the operation lever operated by the occupant is pivotally supported by the base member so as to be rotatable in the vehicle front-rear direction by the first horizontal support shaft. The rear end of the link plate is pivotally supported at one end of the operation lever by a second horizontal support shaft, and the link plate is movable in the vehicle front-rear direction along the roof member. Yes. At the front end of the link plate, the other end of the engaging member having a hook portion at one end is pivotally supported by a third horizontal support shaft so as to be rotatable in the vehicle front-rear direction. The engaging member is provided with guide pins protruding left and right, and is movably engaged with a substantially L-shaped guide groove formed on the side surface of the base member. On the other hand, a striker is provided on the vehicle main body side so that the hook portion is detachably engaged.

上記係合部材は、上記操作レバーを車両前方へ回動させると、上記ガイドピンが上記ガイド溝に案内されて車両後方に移動することにより、車両前方に回動しつつ車両後方に移動して略水平な姿勢となる一方、上記操作レバーを車両後方へ回動させると、上記ガイドピンが上記ガイド溝に案内されて車両前方に移動することにより、車両前方に移動しつつ車両後方に回動して略垂直な姿勢となる。そして、上記操作レバーを車両後方側に回動させた状態で、上記ルーフ部材を車両前方に引き出して上記係合部材をストライカに対応させ、その状態で上記操作レバーを車両前方に回動させることにより、上記係合部材を車両前方に回動させてフック部をストライカに係合させ、その後、さらに、操作レバーを車両前方に回動させることにより、その回動により生ずる上記係合部材の車両後方への引き込み力の反作用で、上記ルーフ部材が車両前方に移動することで車両本体上部を覆って車両本体に固定されるようになっている。 When the operation lever is rotated forward of the vehicle, the engaging member is moved rearward of the vehicle while rotating forward of the vehicle by the guide pin being guided by the guide groove and moving rearward of the vehicle. On the other hand, when the operation lever is rotated to the rear of the vehicle, the guide pin is guided by the guide groove and moves to the front of the vehicle, and thus moves to the front of the vehicle while moving to the front of the vehicle. As a result, the posture becomes substantially vertical. Then, with the operation lever rotated to the rear side of the vehicle, the roof member is pulled out to the front of the vehicle, the engagement member is made to correspond to the striker, and the operation lever is rotated to the front of the vehicle in that state. Accordingly, the engagement member is rotated forward by causing the hook portion to engage with the striker, and then the operation lever is further rotated forward by moving the engagement member to the vehicle. The roof member moves to the front of the vehicle by the reaction of the pulling force to the rear, so that the upper part of the vehicle body is covered and fixed to the vehicle body.

特開２００６−２３３５６８号公報（段落００５４〜００５８欄、図１３）JP 2006-233568 A (paragraphs 0054-0058 column, FIG. 13)

ところで、一般的なオープンカーのルーフ部材は、頑丈で比較的伸びにくい樹脂材で形成され、しかも、車両前後方向に少し張った状態で車両本体側に固定されるようになっている。したがって、ルーフ部材を車両本体側に固定する際、特許文献１の如き固定装置では、乗員が、ルーフ部材を車両後方に加わる力に抗して車両前方に引き出して少し張った状態にして、その状態を維持させつつ操作レバーを操作して係合部材のフック部を車両本体側のストライカに係合させなければならないので、操作に慣れないと上記フック部をストライカに係合させ難く、操作レバーの操作を繰り返し行うことになってしまう。   By the way, a roof member of a general open car is formed of a resin material that is sturdy and relatively difficult to stretch, and is fixed to the vehicle body side in a slightly stretched state in the vehicle front-rear direction. Therefore, when fixing the roof member to the vehicle body side, in the fixing device as in Patent Document 1, the occupant pulls the roof member to the front of the vehicle against the force applied to the rear of the vehicle and slightly stretches the roof member. Since the hook of the engaging member must be engaged with the striker on the vehicle body side by operating the operating lever while maintaining the state, it is difficult to engage the hook with the striker unless you are used to the operation. Will be repeated.

本発明は、斯かる点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、ルーフ部材を車両本体に容易に固定することができる操作性のよいルーフ部材の固定装置とすることにある。   The present invention has been made in view of such points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a roof member fixing device with good operability that can easily fix the roof member to the vehicle body. .

上記の目的を達成するために、本発明は、操作レバーに対して係合部材を車両前方に回動付勢して車両前方に向かって前下がりの傾斜姿勢に保持する付勢部材を設けたことを特徴とする。   In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a biasing member that pivotally biases the engaging member toward the front of the vehicle with respect to the operation lever and holds the tilting posture in a forward downward direction toward the front of the vehicle. It is characterized by that.

具体的には、車両前後方向に出し入れ可能に構成されたルーフ部材を車両前方に引き出して車両本体上部を覆った状態で車両本体側に固定するルーフ部材の固定装置において次のような解決手段を講じた。   Specifically, a roof member fixing device for fixing a roof member configured to be able to be inserted and removed in the vehicle front-rear direction to the vehicle main body in a state where the roof member is pulled forward and covers the upper portion of the vehicle main body includes the following solution means. I took it.

すなわち、第１の発明では、一端近傍が上記ルーフ部材の引き出し端部側裏面に第１水平支軸により車両前後方向に回動可能に軸支された操作レバーと、一端にフック部を有し、他端が上記操作レバーの一端に第２水平支軸により車両前後方向に回動可能に軸支され、上記操作レバーの車両前方への回動により車両後方に移動する一方、上記操作レバーの車両後方への回動により車両前方に移動する係合部材と、上記操作レバーを車両後方に回動付勢して車両前方に向かって前上がりの傾斜姿勢に保持する第１付勢部材と、上記係合部材を車両前方に回動付勢して車両前方に向かって前下がりの傾斜姿勢に保持する第２付勢部材と、上記車両本体側に設けられ、上記係合部材が係脱可能に係合する被係合部とを備え、上記係合部材は、上記ルーフ部材の車両前方への引き出し動作により上記フック部を上記被係合部側の車両本体端縁に摺接させながら上記第２付勢部材の付勢力に抗して車両後方に回動し、上記フック部が上記被係合部側の車両本体端縁を外れることで上記第２付勢部材の復元力により車両前方に回動して上記フック部が被係合部に係合し、当該係合状態で上記操作レバーを上記第１付勢部材の付勢力に抗して車両前方に回動させることにより上記係合部材に生ずる車両後方への引き込み力の反作用で上記ルーフ部材が車両前方に移動することで車両本体上部を覆って上記車両本体に固定される一方、当該固定状態で、上記操作レバーを車両後方に回動させることにより、車両前方に移動しつつ、当該操作レバーと連動して車両後方に回動して上記フック部が上記被係合部から外れるように構成されていることを特徴とする。 That is, in the first invention, an operation lever that is pivotally supported by the first horizontal support shaft on the back surface on the drawer end portion side of the roof member so as to be pivotable in the vehicle front-rear direction and a hook portion on one end are provided in the first invention. The other end is pivotally supported at one end of the operation lever by a second horizontal support shaft so as to be pivotable in the vehicle front-rear direction, and is moved rearward by turning the operation lever forward of the vehicle. An engagement member that moves to the front of the vehicle by turning to the rear of the vehicle, and a first urging member that urges the operation lever to turn to the rear of the vehicle and holds it in an inclined posture that rises forward toward the front of the vehicle; A second urging member that urges the engagement member to rotate forward and holds the vehicle in a forwardly inclined posture toward the front of the vehicle, and is provided on the vehicle body side so that the engagement member can be engaged and disengaged. An engagement portion that engages with the engagement member. The hook member is pivoted rearward against the urging force of the second urging member while sliding the hook portion to the vehicle body edge on the engaged portion side by the pulling operation of the front member toward the vehicle, When the hook portion is disengaged from the vehicle body edge on the engaged portion side, the hook portion is rotated forward by the restoring force of the second urging member, and the hook portion is engaged with the engaged portion. In the engaged state, the roof member is moved forward by the reaction of the pulling force to the rear of the vehicle generated in the engaging member by rotating the operating lever forward of the vehicle against the urging force of the first urging member. The upper part of the vehicle body is covered and fixed to the vehicle body by moving to the vehicle body, and in the fixed state, the operation lever is rotated rearward of the vehicle to move forward of the vehicle and interlock with the operation lever. And the hook part is Characterized in that it is configured to disengage from the engaging portion.

第２の発明では、第１の発明において、上記フック部の車両前方側には、フック部基端が車両本体端縁に当接した初期段階で該車両本体端縁とフック部先端とが離間するように後上がりに傾斜する傾斜面が設けられていることを特徴とする。   According to a second aspect, in the first aspect, the vehicle main body edge and the hook portion front end are separated from each other on the vehicle front side of the hook portion at an initial stage when the base end of the hook contacts the vehicle main body edge. As described above, an inclined surface that is inclined rearward is provided.

第１の発明によれば、乗員がルーフ部材を車両前方に引き出すだけで、自動的に係合部材のフック部が車両本体側の被係合部に係合するようになる。したがって、特許文献１の如きルーフ部材を車両前方に引き出した状態を維持しながら被係合部に係合部材のフック部を係合させるという困難な作業を行う必要がなく、ルーフ部材を車両本体に容易に固定することができる操作性のよいルーフ部材の固定装置とすることができる。   According to the first aspect of the invention, the hook portion of the engaging member automatically engages with the engaged portion on the vehicle body side only by the occupant pulling the roof member forward of the vehicle. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform the difficult work of engaging the hook portion of the engaging member with the engaged portion while maintaining the state in which the roof member is pulled out forward of the vehicle as in Patent Document 1, and the roof member is mounted on the vehicle body. The roof member fixing device can be easily fixed to the roof member with good operability.

第２の発明によれば、乗員がルーフ部材を車両前方に引き出して係合部材のフック部を被係合部側の車両本体端縁に接触させると、フック部が被係合部側の車両本体端縁に引っ掛からずに、被係合部側の車両本体端縁に対して下方に滑り易くなる。したがって、フック部を被係合部に係合させる際に乗員に加わる負荷を少なくすることができ、操作性のよいルーフ部材の固定装置とすることができる。   According to the second invention, when the occupant pulls the roof member forward of the vehicle and brings the hook portion of the engaging member into contact with the vehicle body edge on the engaged portion side, the hook portion is on the engaged portion side of the vehicle. Without being caught by the main body edge, it becomes easy to slide downward with respect to the vehicle main body edge on the engaged portion side. Therefore, the load applied to the occupant when the hook portion is engaged with the engaged portion can be reduced, and the roof member fixing device with good operability can be obtained.

さらに、上記係合部材３は、上記フック部３３が係合孔４に係合した状態で、上記操作レバー２を上記第１ねじりバネ５の付勢力に抗して車両前方に回動させることにより係合部材３に生ずる車両後方への引き込み力の反作用で上記ルーフ部材９が車両前方に移動することで車両本体８上部を覆うようになっている。 Further, the engagement member 3 rotates the operation lever 2 forward of the vehicle against the urging force of the first torsion spring 5 in a state where the hook portion 33 is engaged with the engagement hole 4. Thus, the roof member 9 moves to the front of the vehicle by the reaction of the pulling force to the rear of the vehicle generated in the engaging member 3 so as to cover the upper part of the vehicle body 8.

そして、上記ロック部材２５の係合部２５ａがブラケット１０の突起部１０ａに係合して上記ルーフ部材９が車両本体８に固定されるようになっている。   The engaging portion 25 a of the lock member 25 engages with the protruding portion 10 a of the bracket 10 so that the roof member 9 is fixed to the vehicle body 8.

一方、上記係合部材３は、上記ルーフ部材９が車両本体８に固定された状態で、ロック部材２５を移動させて係合部２５ａと突起部１０ａとの係合を解除させ、上記操作レバー２を車両後方に回動させることにより、車両前方に移動しつつ、傾斜面部２３の先端が係合プレート３１の突起３１ａに接触して、上記操作レバー２と連動して車両後方に回動して上記フック部３３が上記係合孔４から外れるようになっている。   On the other hand, the engagement member 3 moves the lock member 25 in a state where the roof member 9 is fixed to the vehicle body 8 to release the engagement between the engagement portion 25a and the projection portion 10a, and the operation lever. 2 is rotated toward the rear of the vehicle, while the front end of the inclined surface portion 23 comes into contact with the protrusion 31a of the engagement plate 31 and moves toward the rear of the vehicle in conjunction with the operation lever 2 while moving toward the front of the vehicle. Thus, the hook portion 33 is detached from the engagement hole 4.

尚、便宜上、図４は、ブラケット１０、第１ねじりバネ５及び第１水平支軸１２を記載しておらず、図５は、第２ねじりバネ６及び第２水平支軸１３を記載していない。   For convenience, FIG. 4 does not show the bracket 10, the first torsion spring 5, and the first horizontal support shaft 12, and FIG. 5 shows the second torsion spring 6 and the second horizontal support shaft 13. Absent.

次に、上記ルーフ部材９の車両本体８への固定を説明する。   Next, fixing the roof member 9 to the vehicle body 8 will be described.

例えば、乗員が、上記ルーフ部材９を車両後方に移動させて車両本体８上部を開放した状態で車両７を使用した後、上記ルーフ部材９で車両本体８上部を覆う場合、まず、図４（ａ）に示すように、上記ルーフ部材９を車両前方に引き出して上記係合部材３のフック部３３（傾斜面３３ａ）を上記係合孔４側の車両本体８端縁に接触させる。   For example, when the occupant moves the roof member 9 to the rear of the vehicle and uses the vehicle 7 with the upper portion of the vehicle main body 8 open, and then covers the upper portion of the vehicle main body 8 with the roof member 9, first, FIG. As shown to a), the said roof member 9 is pulled out ahead of a vehicle, and the hook part 33 (inclined surface 33a) of the said engagement member 3 is made to contact the vehicle body 8 edge of the said engagement hole 4 side.

次いで、乗員がさらにルーフ部材９を車両前方に引き出すと、図４（ｂ）に示すように、係合部材３は、上記フック部３３を車両本体８端縁に摺接させながら第２ねじりバネ６の付勢力に抗して車両後方に回動する。   Next, when the occupant further pulls out the roof member 9 toward the front of the vehicle, the engaging member 3 causes the second torsion spring while the hook portion 33 is in sliding contact with the end of the vehicle body 8 as shown in FIG. The vehicle rotates backward against the urging force of 6.

そして、乗員がさらにルーフ部材９を車両前方に引き出すと、図４（ｃ）に示すように、係合部材３は、上記フック部３３が車両本体８端縁から下方に外れることで上記第２ねじりバネ６の復元力により車両前方に回動して上記フック部３３が係合孔４に係合する。   When the occupant further pulls out the roof member 9 forward of the vehicle, as shown in FIG. 4C, the engagement member 3 has the hook portion 33 disengaged downward from the edge of the vehicle body 8 so that the second The hook portion 33 is engaged with the engagement hole 4 by being rotated forward by the restoring force of the torsion spring 6.

その後、上記フック部３３が係合孔４に係合した状態で、図５（ａ）、（ｂ）に示すように、乗員が、上記操作レバー２を把持して、第１ねじりバネ５の付勢力に抗して車両前方に回動させることにより生ずる係合部材３の車両後方への引き込み力の反作用で上記ルーフ部材９が車両前方に移動して車両本体８上部を覆って車両本体８に固定される。 Thereafter, with the hook portion 33 engaged with the engagement hole 4, as shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b), the occupant grips the operation lever 2 and moves the first torsion spring 5. The roof member 9 is moved forward by the reaction of the pulling force of the engaging member 3 to the rear of the vehicle generated by rotating the front of the vehicle against the urging force and covers the upper part of the vehicle main body 8 to cover the vehicle main body 8. Fixed to.

したがって、乗員がルーフ部材９を車両前方に引き出すだけで、自動的に係合部材３のフック部３３が車両本体８側の係合孔４に係合するようになるので、特許文献１の如きルーフ部材９を車両前方に引き出した状態を維持しながら係合孔４に係合部材３のフック部３３を係合させるという困難な作業を行う必要がなく、ルーフ部材９を車両本体８に容易に固定することができる操作性のよいルーフ部材９の固定装置１とすることができる。   Therefore, the hook portion 33 of the engagement member 3 automatically engages with the engagement hole 4 on the vehicle body 8 side only by the passenger pulling the roof member 9 forward of the vehicle. There is no need to perform the difficult work of engaging the hook portion 33 of the engagement member 3 with the engagement hole 4 while maintaining the state in which the roof member 9 is pulled forward, and the roof member 9 can be easily attached to the vehicle body 8. The roof device 9 can be fixed to the roof member 9 with good operability.

また、上記フック部３３の車両前方側には、後上がりに傾斜する傾斜面３３ａが設けられているので、乗員がルーフ部材９を車両前方に引き出して、フック部３３を係合孔４側の車両本体８端縁に接触させると、フック部３３が係合孔４側の車両本体８端縁に引っ掛からずに、係合孔４側の車両本体８端縁に対して下方に滑り易くなる。したがって、フック部３３を係合孔４に係合させる際の乗員に加わる負荷を少なくすることができ、操作性のよいルーフ部材９の固定装置１とすることができる。   In addition, since an inclined surface 33a that is inclined rearward is provided on the vehicle front side of the hook portion 33, the occupant pulls the roof member 9 forward of the vehicle, and the hook portion 33 is disposed on the engagement hole 4 side. When the vehicle body 8 is brought into contact with the edge of the vehicle body 8, the hook portion 33 does not catch on the edge of the vehicle body 8 on the engagement hole 4 side, and is easily slid downward with respect to the edge of the vehicle body 8 on the engagement hole 4 side. Therefore, the load applied to the occupant when the hook portion 33 is engaged with the engagement hole 4 can be reduced, and the fixing device 1 for the roof member 9 with good operability can be obtained.

次に、上記ルーフ部材９の車両本体８への固定の解除を説明する。   Next, the release of the fixing of the roof member 9 to the vehicle body 8 will be described.
