　ところで、棒状の工具（以下、「棒状工具」という。）を、車両の比較的狭いスペース（例えば、トラック等の着座シートとバックパネルとの間のスペース等）に収納したい場合がある。しかし、棒状工具の長さが長い場合には、棒状工具の端部が車体や他の部材（以下、「他の部材等」という。）に干渉してしまうおそれがある。また、収納時に棒状工具の上記所定方向の長さを抑えるために、特許文献１に記載のスペアタイヤハンドル（棒状工具）のように、棒状工具を長さ方向に複数に分割可能な構造として、分割された複数の棒状工具を並列的に配置して収納することが考えられる。しかし、並列的に配置して収納した状態の複数の棒状工具は、直列的に配置する場合に比べ、並列している方向（棒状工具の長さ方向と交叉する方向）に拡がって配置されるので、並列している方向に配置される他の部材等に干渉してしまうおそれがある。 By the way, there are cases where you want to store a rod-shaped tool (hereinafter referred to as "rod-shaped tool") in a relatively narrow space of a vehicle (for example, a space between a seat for a truck or the like and a back panel). However, if the length of the rod-shaped tool is long, the end portion of the rod-shaped tool may interfere with the vehicle body or other members (hereinafter referred to as "other members"). Further, in order to suppress the length of the rod-shaped tool in the predetermined direction at the time of storage, the rod-shaped tool can be divided into a plurality of parts in the length direction like the spare tire handle (rod-shaped tool) described in Patent Document 1. It is conceivable to arrange and store a plurality of divided rod-shaped tools in parallel. However, a plurality of rod-shaped tools in a state of being arranged and stored in parallel are arranged in a direction in which they are arranged in parallel (direction intersecting with the length direction of the rod-shaped tools) as compared with the case of arranging them in series. Therefore, there is a risk of interfering with other members arranged in the parallel direction.
　そこで、本開示は、コンパクトに収納することが可能な棒状工具及び棒状工具収納構造の提供を目的とする。 Therefore, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a rod-shaped tool and a rod-shaped tool storage structure that can be compactly stored.
　上記課題を解決するため、本開示の第１の態様の棒状工具は、棒状の第１部材と筒状の第２部材とを備える。第１部材は、第１連結端部を有する。第２部材は、第１部材の第１連結端部に対して着脱可能な第２連結端部と、少なくとも一端側に設けられる開口と、上記開口から連続して延びる内部空間とを有する。第１部材の第１連結端部と第２部材の第２連結端部とは、第１部材と第２部材とを互いに直列的に連結可能である。第２部材の開口及び内部空間の内径は、第１部材の外径よりも大きい。第１部材は、第２部材の開口から内部空間に挿入することによって、第１部材の長さ方向の少なくとも一部の領域を第２部材の内部空間に収納可能である。 In order to solve the above problems, the rod-shaped tool of the first aspect of the present disclosure includes a rod-shaped first member and a cylindrical second member. The first member has a first connecting end. The second member has a second connecting end portion that can be attached to and detached from the first connecting end portion of the first member, an opening provided at least on one end side, and an internal space that continuously extends from the opening. The first connecting end of the first member and the second connecting end of the second member can connect the first member and the second member in series with each other. The inner diameter of the opening and the internal space of the second member is larger than the outer diameter of the first member. By inserting the first member into the internal space through the opening of the second member, at least a part of the region in the length direction of the first member can be stored in the internal space of the second member.
　上記構成では、第１部材の第１連結端部と第２部材の第２連結端部とは、第１部材と第２部材とを互いに直列的に連結可能である。このため、長尺の棒状工具として使用する場合には、第１連結端部と第２連結端部とを連結することによって、第１部材と第２部材とを互いに直列的に連結することができる。また、第２部材の第２連結端部は、第１部材の第１連結端部に対して着脱可能であるので、長尺の棒状工具として使用しない場合には、第２部材から第１部材を取り外して、第１部材と第２部材とを分割することができる。 In the above configuration, the first connecting end of the first member and the second connecting end of the second member can connect the first member and the second member in series with each other. Therefore, when used as a long rod-shaped tool, the first member and the second member can be connected in series with each other by connecting the first connecting end and the second connecting end. can. Further, since the second connecting end portion of the second member is removable from the first connecting end portion of the first member, when it is not used as a long rod-shaped tool, the second member to the first member Can be removed to separate the first member and the second member.
　また、第２部材の開口及び内部空間の内径が、第１部材の外径よりも大きく、第１部材は、第２部材の開口から内部空間に挿入することによって、第１部材の長さ方向の少なくとも一部の領域を第２部材の内部空間に収納可能である。このため、棒状工具を収納する際に、第２部材から第１部材を取り外し、第１部材の長さ方向の少なくとも一部の領域を第２部材の内部空間に収納することによって、棒状工具を、その長さ方向、及び長さ方向と交叉する方向にコンパクトに収納することができる。 Further, the opening of the second member and the inner diameter of the internal space are larger than the outer diameter of the first member, and the first member is inserted into the internal space from the opening of the second member in the length direction of the first member. At least a part of the area can be stored in the internal space of the second member. Therefore, when the rod-shaped tool is stored, the rod-shaped tool is stored by removing the first member from the second member and storing at least a part of the area in the length direction of the first member in the internal space of the second member. , Can be compactly stored in the length direction and in the direction intersecting the length direction.
　本開示の第２の態様は、上記第１の態様の棒状工具であって、第２部材の開口は、第２連結端部とは反対側に設けられる。第１部材の第１連結端部は、第２部材の第２連結端部に対して内部空間側から連結可能である。第１部材を第２部材の内部空間に収納する際には、第１部材を第１連結端部側から第２部材の開口に挿入し、第１連結端部を第２連結端部に対して内部空間側から連結する。 The second aspect of the present disclosure is the rod-shaped tool of the first aspect, and the opening of the second member is provided on the side opposite to the second connecting end portion. The first connecting end portion of the first member can be connected to the second connecting end portion of the second member from the internal space side. When the first member is housed in the internal space of the second member, the first member is inserted into the opening of the second member from the side of the first connecting end portion, and the first connecting end portion is relative to the second connecting end portion. And connect from the internal space side.
　上記構成では、第１部材を第２部材の内部空間に収納する際には、第１部材を第１連結端部側から第２部材の開口に挿入し、第１連結端部を第２連結端部に対して内部空間側から連結する。このため、第１連結端部と第２連結端部とを連結した状態で第１部材を第２部材の内部空間に収納することができるので、第１部材を第２部材の内部空間に収納した状態で、第２部材の内部空間内での第１部材の長さ方向への移動を抑制することができる。 In the above configuration, when the first member is housed in the internal space of the second member, the first member is inserted into the opening of the second member from the first connecting end side, and the first connecting end is secondly connected. Connect to the end from the internal space side. Therefore, since the first member can be stored in the internal space of the second member in a state where the first connecting end portion and the second connecting end portion are connected, the first member can be stored in the internal space of the second member. In this state, the movement of the first member in the internal space of the second member in the length direction can be suppressed.
　本開示の第３の態様は、上記第１の態様または上記第２の態様の棒状工具であって、キャップを備える。キャップは、第２部材に対して着脱可能であり、第２部材に対して取り付けた状態で第２部材の開口を塞ぐ。第２部材の内部空間の長さは、第１部材の長さよりも長い。第１部材は、その長さ方向の全域を第２部材の内部空間に収納可能である。キャップは、第１部材の長さ方向の全域を第２部材の内部空間に収納した状態で、第２部材に対して取り付け可能である。 The third aspect of the present disclosure is the rod-shaped tool of the first aspect or the second aspect, which is provided with a cap. The cap is removable from the second member and closes the opening of the second member in a state of being attached to the second member. The length of the internal space of the second member is longer than the length of the first member. The entire area of the first member in the length direction can be stored in the internal space of the second member. The cap can be attached to the second member in a state where the entire length direction of the first member is housed in the internal space of the second member.
　上記構成では、キャップは、第１部材の長さ方向の全域を第２部材の内部空間に収納した状態で、第２部材に対して取り付け可能であり、第２部材に対して取り付けた状態で第２部材の開口を塞ぐので、第２部材の開口から外部への第１部材の飛び出しをキャップによって防止することができる。例えば、第１部材を第２部材の内部空間に収納した状態での第１連結端部と第２連結端部との連結が外れ、第１部材が第２部材の内部空間内で長さ方向へ移動したとしても、第２部材の開口から外部への第１部材の飛び出しをキャップによって防止することができる。 In the above configuration, the cap can be attached to the second member in a state where the entire length direction of the first member is housed in the internal space of the second member, and is attached to the second member. Since the opening of the second member is closed, it is possible to prevent the first member from popping out from the opening of the second member to the outside by the cap. For example, when the first member is housed in the internal space of the second member, the connection between the first connecting end portion and the second connecting end portion is disconnected, and the first member is in the internal space of the second member in the length direction. Even if it moves to, the cap can prevent the first member from popping out from the opening of the second member to the outside.
　本開示の第４の態様は、上記第１の態様～上記第３の態様のいずれかの棒状工具を収納する棒状工具収納構造であって、筒状の他の工具を備える。上記他の工具は、少なくとも一端側に設けられる開口と、該開口から連続して延びる内部空間とを有する。上記他の工具の開口及び上記他の工具の内部空間の内径は、第２部材の外径よりも大きい。第２部材は、上記他の工具の開口から上記他の工具の内部空間に挿入することによって、第２部材の長さ方向の少なくとも一部の領域を上記他の工具の内部空間に収納可能である。 The fourth aspect of the present disclosure is a rod-shaped tool storage structure for storing the rod-shaped tool according to any one of the first aspect to the third aspect, and includes another tubular tool. The other tool has an opening provided at least on one end side and an internal space continuously extending from the opening. The inner diameter of the opening of the other tool and the internal space of the other tool is larger than the outer diameter of the second member. By inserting the second member into the internal space of the other tool through the opening of the other tool, at least a part of the area in the length direction of the second member can be stored in the internal space of the other tool. be.
　上記構成では、第２部材の長さ方向の少なくとも一部の領域を他の工具の内部空間に収納可能であるので、第２部材の内部空間に第１部材を収納した状態で、第２部材の長さ方向の少なくとも一部の領域を他の工具の内部空間に収納することができる。このため、車両側に設けられる工具収納スペース（工具を収納するためのスペース）が狭い場合であっても、上記工具収納スペースに収納される他の工具の内部空間に棒状工具を配置して収納することができるので、更にコンパクトに棒状工具及び他の工具を収納することができる。 In the above configuration, since at least a part of the area in the length direction of the second member can be stored in the internal space of the other tool, the second member is stored in the internal space of the second member. At least a part of the area in the length direction of the tool can be stored in the internal space of other tools. Therefore, even if the tool storage space (space for storing the tool) provided on the vehicle side is narrow, the rod-shaped tool is arranged and stored in the internal space of other tools stored in the tool storage space. Therefore, it is possible to store rod-shaped tools and other tools more compactly.
　本開示によれば、棒状工具をコンパクトに収納することができる。 According to the present disclosure, the rod-shaped tool can be stored compactly.

As shown in FIG. 6, when the first member 11 is housed in the internal space 19 of the second member 12, the first member 11 is placed in one of the second members 12 from the connecting end 14 side of the first member 11. Inserted into the opening 17 on the side (left side of FIG. 6), the connecting end portion 14 of the first member 11 is placed on the one side (left side of FIG. 6) with respect to the internal space 19 on the connecting end portion 18 side of the second member 12. ) To insert. That is, the connecting end portion 14 of the first member 11 is connected to the connecting end portion 18 of the second member 12 not from the outside of the second member 12 but from the internal space 19 side of the second member 12. In a state where the connecting end portion 14 of the first member 11 is connected to the connecting end portion 18 of the second member 12 from the internal space 19 side of the second member 12, the flat plate portion of the connecting end portion 14 of the first member 11 14a abuts on the flat plate portion 18a of the connecting end portion 18 of the second member 12 from the inside in the radial direction (see FIG. 6). As a result, the connecting end portion 14 of the first member 11 and the connecting end portion 18 of the second member 12 are connected in a state of being locked to each other in the circumferential direction, and the relative rotation of the first member 11 and the second member 12 is performed. Is regulated. Further, by contacting the inner peripheral surface of the second member 12 on the connecting end 18 side and the outer peripheral surface of the first member 11 on the connecting end 14 side, the contact with the second member 12 to the one side (left side in FIG. 6). The movement of the first member 11 is suppressed. In this way, the first member 11 is the second member in a state where the connecting end portion 14 of the first member 11 is connected to the connecting end portion 18 of the second member 12 from the internal space 19 side of the second member 12. It is housed in the internal space 19 of 12. In the present embodiment, the entire length direction of the first member 11 is housed in the internal space 19 of the second member 12, and both ends of the first member 11 are not exposed to the outside of the second member 12. Then, in a state where the first member 11 is housed in the internal space 19 of the second member 12, the end portion on the side opposite to the connecting end portion 18 of the second member 12 (the end portion on the opening 17 side (left side in FIG. 6). A cap 22 is attached to the end)) to close the opening 17 of the second member 12. Further, in the present embodiment, the spare tire handle 10 (excluding the handle 13) in a state where the first member 11 is housed in the internal space 19 of the second member 12 is moved from the tip opening 34 of the wheel nut wrench 30a to the internal space 40. It is inserted and the entire area of the second member 12 in the length direction is stored in the internal space 40 of the wheel nut wrench 30a. Finally, the wheel nut wrench 30a in which the spare tire handle 10 (excluding the handle 13) is stored in the internal space 40 is placed in the tool storage space 5 behind the seat 3 in the vehicle interior 9 (in this embodiment, Store it (with it extending in the width direction of the vehicle). The handle member 6 is stored in the internal space 40 of the wheel nut wrench 30b, which is different from the wheel nut wrench 30a for storing the spare tire handle 10, and is stored in the tool storage space 5 together with the wheel nut wrench 30b. The two wheel nut wrenches 30a and 30b are housed in the tool storage space 5 in a state of being arranged vertically in parallel.
　上記のように構成されたスペアタイヤハンドル１０では、第１部材１１、第２部材１２、及びハンドル１３に分割することができるので、長尺のスペアタイヤハンドル１０を、長尺のまま上記工具収納スペース５に収納する場合に比べて、長さ方向に短くしてコンパクトに収納することができる。 Since the spare tire handle 10 configured as described above can be divided into the first member 11, the second member 12, and the handle 13, the long spare tire handle 10 can be stored as it is in the long length. Compared with the case of storing in the space 5, it can be shortened in the length direction and stored compactly.
　また、第２部材１２の一側（図６の左側）の開口１７の内径Ｒ１及び内部空間１９の内径Ｒ２が、第１部材１１の外径Ｒ３よりも大きく、第１部材１１を第２部材１２の上記一側の開口１７から内部空間１９へ挿入して係る内部空間１９に収納可能である。このため、分割したスペアタイヤハンドル１０の第１部材１１と第２部材１２とを、長さ方向（本実施形態では、車幅方向）と交叉する方向（本実施形態では、上下方向）に並列させた状態で上記工具収納スペース５に収納する場合に比べて、上下方向にコンパクトに収納することができる。このため、車両１側に設けられる上記工具収納スペース５が上下方向に狭い場合であっても、スペアタイヤハンドル１０をコンパクトに収納することができる。 Further, the inner diameter R1 of the opening 17 on one side (left side of FIG. 6) of the second member 12 and the inner diameter R2 of the internal space 19 are larger than the outer diameter R3 of the first member 11, and the first member 11 is the second member. It can be stored in the internal space 19 by inserting it into the internal space 19 from the opening 17 on one side of the twelve. Therefore, the first member 11 and the second member 12 of the divided spare tire handle 10 are parallel to each other in the length direction (in the present embodiment, the vehicle width direction) and the crossing direction (in the present embodiment, the vertical direction). It can be stored more compactly in the vertical direction as compared with the case where it is stored in the tool storage space 5 in the state of being moved. Therefore, even when the tool storage space 5 provided on the vehicle 1 side is narrow in the vertical direction, the spare tire handle 10 can be compactly stored.
　また、第１部材１１を第２部材１２の内部空間１９へ収納した状態のスペアタイヤハンドル１０（ハンドル１３を除く）を、ホイールナットレンチ３０ａの先端開口３４から内部空間４０に挿入し、第２部材１２の長さ方向の全域をホイールナットレンチ３０ａの内部空間４０に収納する。このため、第１部材１１を第２部材１２の内部空間１９へ収納した状態のスペアタイヤハンドル１０（ハンドル１３を除く）とホイールナットレンチ３０ａとを、上下方向に並列させた状態で上記工具収納スペース５に収納する場合に比べて、上下方向にコンパクトに収納することができる。このように、上記工具収納スペース５に収納される他の工具（本実施形態ではホイールナットレンチ３０ａ）の内部空間４０にスペアタイヤハンドル１０を配置して収納することができるので、車両１側に設けられる上記工具収納スペース５が狭い場合であっても、更にコンパクトにスペアタイヤハンドル１０及びホイールナットレンチ３０ａを収納することができる。 Further, the spare tire handle 10 (excluding the handle 13) in which the first member 11 is housed in the internal space 19 of the second member 12 is inserted into the internal space 40 from the tip opening 34 of the wheel nut wrench 30a, and the second member is second. The entire area of the member 12 in the length direction is housed in the internal space 40 of the wheel nut wrench 30a. Therefore, the spare tire handle 10 (excluding the handle 13) in a state where the first member 11 is stored in the internal space 19 of the second member 12 and the wheel nut wrench 30a are stored in a state where the wheel nut wrench 30a is arranged in parallel in the vertical direction. Compared with the case of storing in the space 5, it can be stored more compactly in the vertical direction. As described above, since the spare tire handle 10 can be arranged and stored in the internal space 40 of the other tool (wheel nut wrench 30a in this embodiment) stored in the tool storage space 5, the spare tire handle 10 can be stored on the vehicle 1 side.
