Description

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a luggage hook that is attached to a stroller or shopping cart to hang luggage such as bags or shopping bags, and particularly relates to a luggage hook with improved usability. [Background technology]

[0002] When using a stroller or shopping cart, bags and shopping bags are often hung from the handlebar. In such a case, it would be convenient if a removable baggage hook could be attached and bags could be hung on the baggage hook. For this reason, various types of luggage hooks have been proposed.

[0003] Such a luggage hook is configured by combining a mounting part that is fastened to the handlebar and an S-shaped or lower half-S-shaped hook part that is attached to the mounting part. The hook component is swingably attached to the mounting component, and allows bags to be hung in a desired direction (see, for example, Patent Document 2). However, only one baggage can be hung on each hook part, and if there is more than one baggage, it is necessary to prepare an additional baggage hook. Furthermore, if the hook component is fixed, the direction in which the baggage is hung is fixed, so a hook component that can be rotated around a vertical axis has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0004] However, depending on the location of the center of gravity of the load, the hook component may rotate around the rotation axis, causing the problem of unstable load. Furthermore, there is also a type that uses hook-and-loop fasteners when fastening to the handlebar (for example, see Patent Document 3). Although the structure is simple, the user has to check the front and back sides of the hook-and-loop fastener each time it is wrapped, which makes it difficult to handle when there is a lot of baggage or when you are in a hurry.

[0019] and Figures 3 to 5) [Summary of the invention] [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] Conventionally, various types of luggage hooks have been developed, but they have had the problem of being inconvenient and difficult to use.

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a luggage hook that can improve usability. [Means to solve the problem]

[0008] In order to solve the above object, the luggage hanging hook according to the present invention is a luggage hanging hook that is detachably attached to an attached part, and includes a base (20), and a luggage hanging hook that is attached to the base (20) and that is attached to the attached part. a cylindrical main neck part (61) whose base end is attached to the base (20); and a belt (81) that is attached to the lower end of the main neck part (61) and opens upward. A main hook member (60) having a main hook body (64), a sub neck part (71) attached to the main neck part (61), and a sub hook body attached to the sub neck part and opening upward. (73), and one or both of the main hook body (64) and the sub hook body (73) are relative to the base (20). The bases (20) are configured to rotate, and are provided so that the positions in the height direction partially overlap, but when one or both are rotated relative to the base (20), However, if they are configured so that they do not interfere with each other and their positions in the rotational direction match each other, the secondary hook body (73) is configured to close the opening (65) of the main hook body (64). You can also make it look like this. Further, in the baggage hook according to the present invention, the outer shape of the secondary hook body may be smaller than the outer diameter of the main hook body. In the baggage hanging hook according to the present invention, the center of the main hook body is shifted from the rotation center axis toward the open part of the main hook body, and the center of the sub hook body is shifted from the rotation center axis to the sub hook body. It may be shifted toward the open part side. In the luggage hanging hook according to the present invention, the main hook body has a substantially C-shaped shape that extends in different directions across the rotation axis and opens upward, and the secondary hook member is arranged on one side of the rotation axis. It may also have a J-shape that protrudes only from the bottom and opens upward. The main body luggage hook may have a required rotation torque of 5 to 40 cN·m to rotate the main hook member relative to the base. In the baggage hanging hook according to the present invention, the necessary rotation torque for rotating the secondary hook member relative to the main hook member may be 5 to 40 cN·m.

[0017] [Figure 8] FIG. 7 is a plan view showing a luggage hook according to another embodiment of the present invention. [Details for carrying out the invention]

[0018] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a stroller K to which a luggage hook 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is attached, FIGS. 2 and 3 are plan views showing the luggage hook 10, and FIG. 4 is a base of the luggage hook 10. A perspective view showing the main body 30 and the hook unit 50, and FIG. 5 is a supplementary view for explaining how to use the luggage hook 10. Note that W in these figures indicates luggage such as bags and shopping bags. 2 shows a state in which the sub hook main body 73 faces in the opposite direction to the main hook main body 64, and FIG. 3 shows a state in which the sub hook main body 73 faces in the same direction as the main hook main body 64.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 1, the luggage hook 10 is detachably attached to the handlebar (attached part) Ka of the stroller K. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the luggage hook 10 includes a mounting base 20 disposed opposite to the handlebar Ka, and a hook unit 50 rotatably provided around the rotation axis R with respect to the mounting base 20. , a belt 81 attached to the mounting base 20 and wrapped around the handlebar Ka, and a reinforcing belt 83 for reinforcing the joint portion of the belt 81 wrapped around the handlebar Ka.

[0020] The mounting base 20 includes a plate-shaped base main body 30 and a swing base 40 that is swingably attached to the base main body 30. The base body 30 has a plate member 31 in a plate shape. The plate member 31 has a first hole 32 and a second hole 33 through which a belt 81 (described later) passes, and a through hole 34 through which a connecting pin 62 (described later) passes.

[0021] The swing base 40 includes a plate member 41. This plate member 41 is swingably attached to the plate member 31 by a rod-shaped swing pin 42 on the base end side.

[0022] The plate member 41 has a first hole 43 formed along the thickness direction of the plate member 41 through which a belt 81 (to be described later) is passed, and a first hole 43 that communicates with the first hole 43 and extends along the length direction of the plate member 41. A horizontal hole 44 is formed that opens on the tip side and allows a reinforcing belt 83 (described later) to pass therethrough.

[0023] The hook unit 50 includes a main hook member 60 and a sub hook member 70. The main hook member 60 has a cylindrical main neck portion 61 and a partially open annular main hook body 64 connected to the lower end of the main neck portion 61. A pin hole is formed in the upper end surface of the main neck portion 61. With this pin hole aligned with the through hole 34 of the base body 30, the main hook member 60 is rotatably attached to the base body 30 almost perpendicularly by the connecting pin 62. The center line of the main neck portion 61 is the rotation center axis R.

[0024] Here, a slight gap is formed between the outer diameter of the connecting pin 62 and the inner diameter of the through hole 34. This allows the entire main hook member 60 to be manually turned around the central axis R with respect to the base body 30. Further, when turning the main hook member 60, it is preferable that a certain torque is required. For example, the resistance can be achieved by making the connection pin 62 fit into the through hole 34 by a blind fit, or by adjusting the tightening force of the connection pin 62. In this embodiment, the torque required to rotate the main hook member 60 is 5 to 40 cN m, more preferably 10 to 35 cN m, even more preferably 15 to 30 cN m, and even more preferably 20 to 25 cN m. m. Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the distance h1 from the central axis R to the force point of the main hook member 60 is 4 cm, and the torque in this example is 24 cN·m.

[0025] In this embodiment, the main neck portion 61 and the main hook body 64 are integrally constructed, and the main neck portion is rotatably attached to the base body 30. may be integrally formed, and the main hook body and the main neck member may be rotatably attached to each other.

[0026] A collar portion 63 is formed on the circumferential surface of the main neck portion 61 and projects outward. The collar portion 63 has a function of supporting the above-mentioned secondary hook member 70. The opening portion 65 of the main hook body 64 is formed slightly upward to prevent the luggage W from falling off. Further, the center position C1 of the ring of the main hook body 64 is slightly shifted from the rotation center axis R toward the open portion 65 side.

[0027] The secondary hook member 70 has a cylindrical secondary neck portion 71. The inner diameter of the secondary neck portion 71 is equal to or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the main neck portion 61. Thereby, the sub neck portion 71 is rotatably fitted into the main neck portion 61. Again, it is preferable that a certain torque is required to rotate the secondary hook member 70, and in this embodiment, it is 5 to 40 cN·m, more preferably 10 to 35 cN·m, and even more preferably 15 to 30 cN·m. , more preferably 20 to 25 cN·m. Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the distance h2 from the central axis R to the force point of the main hook member 60 is 3.5 cm, and the torque in this example is 20 cN·m.

[0028] The sub-neck portion 71 has a bracket 72 protruding from the circumferential surface. A partially open annular sub-hook body 73 is connected to this bracket 72. The opening part 74 of the sub-hook main body 73 is formed slightly upward to prevent the luggage from falling off. Further, the center position C2 of the ring of the sub hook main body 73 is shifted from the rotation center axis R.

[0029] The main neck portion 61 of the main hook member 60 and the sub-neck portion 71 of the sub-hook member 70 are mutually rotatable around the rotation center axis R.

[0030] Therefore, when the main hook main body 64 and the sub hook main body 73 face different directions, the sub hook main body 73 separates from the open portion 65 of the main hook main body 64 (see the solid line in FIG. 5). When the main hook main body 64 and the sub hook main body 73 face the same direction, that is, when the main hook main body 64 and the sub hook main body 73 are aligned, the sub hook main body 73 closes the open part 65 of the main hook main body 64. As shown, the secondary hook body 73 is smaller than the main hook body 64, and has a shape that partially overlaps the upper part of the main hook body 64 (the amount of overlap is t1 shown in FIG. 2) (see the broken line in FIG. 5). . Specifically, the height from the upper end to the lower end of the sub hook member 70 is approximately equal to or slightly higher than the height of the main neck portion 61.

[0031] Here, when the main hook body 64 and the secondary hook body 73 face the same direction, the obstruction dimension D2 of the open part 65 of the main hook body 64 by the secondary hook body 73 is 50% of the original opening dimension D1. It is preferably set to 25% or less, more preferably 10% or less, and in this embodiment, the original open size is 2 cm, and the open size after occlusion is 4 mm. It is designed to.

[0032] In this embodiment, the continuous straight line portion from the bracket 72 to the sub hook body 73 is also inclined with respect to the rotation center axis R. In other words, a straight line passing through the lowest point G2 of the sub hook main body 73 and the annular center C2 of the sub hook main body 73 is inclined with respect to the rotation center axis R. Thereby, when the secondary hook body 73 rotates, the secondary hook body 73 does not interfere with the main hook member 60 (see dimension D3 in FIG. 2).

[0033] Belt 81 and reinforcing belt 83 constitute belt unit 80. The belt 81 as a whole has sufficient length to wrap around the handlebar Ka. At the joint portion P of the belt 81, one end of the reinforcing belt 83 is sewn and joined to the surface of the belt 81. In addition, since the reinforcing belt 83 is sewn to the surface of the belt 81 at the joint part P, the joint part becomes thick, and the belt 81 does not come off from the second hole 33, and the belt unit 80 falls off from the mounting base 20. can be prevented from happening.

[0034] A loop surface of a hook-and-loop fastener is formed on the entire surface 81a of the belt 81, and a hook surface of a hook-and-loop fastener is formed on the entire back surface 81b. In addition, in the figure, 81c indicates one end of the belt 81, and 81d indicates the other end. The hook surface and loop surface of the hook and loop fastener are bonded together by pressing and have a certain bonding force, and a certain strong force is required to separate them.

[0035] Nothing is formed on the front surface 83a of the reinforcing belt 83, and a hook surface of a hook-and-loop fastener is formed on the tip 83c side of the back surface 83b. Note that 83c in the figure indicates the tip of the reinforcing belt 83. The length of the reinforcing belt 83 is longer than the length from the connecting portion P to the other end 81d of the belt 81.

[0036] The luggage hook 10 configured in this manner is used, for example, as shown in FIG. 6. First, fix the luggage hook 10 to the handlebar Ka of the stroller K. When fixing, bring the mounting base 20 close to the handlebar Ka, and wrap one end 81c of the belt 81 around the handlebar Ka. Wrap the other end 81d of the belt 81 around the handlebar Ka from above the one end 81c side. At this time, the hook surface of the back surface 81b of the belt 81 on the other end 81d side engages with the loop surface of the surface 81a on the side of the one end 81c of the belt 81, and is coupled. Furthermore, when the reinforcing belt 83 is wrapped around the handlebar Ka from above, the hook surface on the back surface 83b of the reinforcing belt 83 engages and joins with the loop surface on the surface 81a on the other end 81d side of the belt 81 on the tip 83c side. .

[0037] That is, the front surface 81a and the back surface 81b of the belt 81 are combined, the front surface 81a of the belt 81 and the back surface 83b of the reinforcing belt 83 are combined, and the entire belt unit 80 is wound and fixed around the handlebar Ka. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing this state.

[0038] With reference to FIG. 6, an example has been described where one end 81c side of the belt 81 is first wound around the handlebar Ka, but the other end 81d side of the belt 81 can also be wound around the handlebar Ka first. As shown in FIG. 7, when fixing, the mounting base 20 is brought close to the handlebar Ka, and the other end 81d of the belt 81 is wrapped around the handlebar Ka. One end 81c of the belt 81 is wrapped around the other end 81d of the belt 81 that is wrapped around the handlebar Ka. At this time, the hook surface on the back surface 81b on the one end 81c side of the belt 81 engages with the loop surface on the surface 81a on the other end 81d side of the belt 81, and is coupled. Further, when the reinforcing belt 83 is wrapped around the handlebar Ka from above, the hook surface of the back surface 83b of the reinforcing belt 83 engages and is coupled to the loop surface of the surface 81a of the belt 81 on the one end 81c side at the tip 83c side.

[0039] Next, the cargo W is hooked onto the main hook body 64 of the main hook member 60 located at the position shown by the solid line in FIG. The load of the cargo W is applied to the lowest point G1 of the main hook body 64. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the lowest point G1 is located on the vertical axis passing through the ring center C1. Therefore, since there is a deviation between the lowest point G1 and the rotation center axis R, the main hook body 64 swings in the direction shown in F in FIG. 5 and moves to the position shown in the broken line in FIG. At this time, the connecting pin 62 is tilted within the through hole 34. Since there is only a small gap between the outer diameter of the connecting pin 62 and the inner diameter of the through hole 34, the connecting pin 62 is caught on the inner wall of the through hole 34, and free rotation of the connecting pin 62 is restricted. Therefore, the main neck portion 61 of the main hook body 64 on which the luggage W is hung does not rotate and is stabilized.

[0040] On the other hand, the sub neck part 71, which is rotatably attached to the main neck part 61, rotates due to the weight of the bracket 72 and the sub hook body 73, and rotates to the position indicated by the broken line in FIG. In other words, as described above, the main hook main body 64 and the sub hook main body 73 face in the same direction and are stabilized. At this time, since the sub hook body 73 closes the open part 65 of the main hook body 64, it is possible to suppress the cargo W from falling out of the open part 65. Furthermore, since the rotational position of the secondary hook body 73 is stable, the user does not need to change the orientation of the secondary hook body 73 in order to hook other items, making it easy to use.

[0041] When the luggage hook 10 configured in this way is wound around the handlebar Ka, since the belt 81 has hook-and-loop fasteners formed on the front and back surfaces, it is possible to wrap either side of the belt 81 around the handlebar Ka first. . Therefore, the user can perform the fixing work without worrying about the orientation. In addition, by wrapping the reinforcing belt 83 further upward, the area of ​​the connecting portion by the hook-and-loop fastener can be increased, and more stable fixation can be achieved, which improves usability.

[0042] Furthermore, by hanging the cargo W on the main hook body 64 of the main hook member 60, the main hook body 64 is tilted, and rotation of the main neck portion 61 can be restricted and stabilized. Furthermore, at this time, the secondary hook main body 73 of the secondary hook member 70 closes the open portion 65 of the main hook main body 64, thereby further suppressing falling of the cargo W. Furthermore, the secondary hook main body 73 allows other items to be hooked on, improving usability.

[0043] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made at the implementation stage without departing from the gist thereof.

[0044] For example, in the above embodiment, the main hook main body 64 and the sub hook main body 73 have a partially open toric shape, but the shape of the hook is not limited to this. For example, it may be a polygonal shape such as a triangular shape or a quadrangular shape with a part open, or it may be an elliptical ring with a part open.

[0045] Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the main hook body 64 may have a channel shape.

[0046] Further, in the embodiment described above, the swing base 40 was connected to the mounting base 20 by the pin 42, but the two need not be connected to each other as shown in FIG. [Explanation of symbols]
