[0033] Each of the first protrusion 37 and the second protrusion 38 is disposed at a position that substantially coincides with the center of the first hook portion 34 in the up-down direction.
[0034] A first hole 42 is provided in the first side surface portion 32. In the first position shown in Figures 4 and 5, the first hole 42 is fastened by a left screw 39 to a left screw hole 25 of the work implement 1, and in the second position shown in Figures 6 and 7, the first hole 42 is fastened by a right screw 40 to a right screw hole 26 of the work implement 1.
[0035] A second hole 43 is provided in the second side surface portion 33. In the first position shown in Figures 4 and 5, the second hole 43 is fastened by a left-side screw 39 to a right-side screw hole 26 of the work implement 1, and in the second position shown in Figures 6 and 7, the second hole 43 is fastened by a right-side screw 40 to a left-side screw hole 25 of the work implement 1.
[0036] Each of the first hole 42 and the second hole 43 is configured as an elongated hole extending from a position above the center of the first hook 34 to a position below the center of the first hook 34 in the vertical direction.
[0037] The first hook portion 34 is U-shaped and protrudes rearward from the rear surface of the back portion 31. The first hook portion 34 extends parallel to the vertical direction when viewed from behind. The first hook portion 34 can be suitably used as a carabiner hook for hanging the work implement 1 from a carabiner. The first hook portion 34 is integrally connected to the rear surface of the back portion 31 at two locations that are spaced apart in the vertical direction and at the same position in the left-right direction, for example, by welding. The back portion 31 has protrusions 46 and 47 at its upper and lower ends, which bulge outward and circumvent the connection between the first hook portion 34 and the back portion 31. The first hook portion 34 may be inclined at a predetermined angle or less, for example, 30° or less, relative to the vertical direction when viewed from behind.
[0038] The first hook portion 34 is located on the left side of the back surface portion 31 in the first position shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and is located on the right side of the back surface portion 31 in the second position shown in FIGS.
[0039] The second hook portion 35 is U-shaped and protrudes rearward from the rear surface of the back portion 31. The second hook portion 35 extends parallel to the left-right direction when viewed from behind. The second hook portion 35 can be suitably used as a fall prevention cord locking portion for attaching a fall prevention cord 56 to the work machine 1. The second hook portion 35 is integrally connected to the rear surface of the back portion 31 at two locations that are spaced apart in the left-right direction and at the same vertical position, for example, by welding.

[0043] The battery pack mounting section 13A of the work machine 1A is configured to correspond to the battery pack mounting section 13 of the work machine 1. The width of the battery pack mounting section 13A in the left-right direction is smaller than the width of the battery pack mounting section 13 in the left-right direction.
[0044] The left recess 23A, right recess 24A, left screw hole 25A, and right screw hole 26A of the work machine 1A are configured to correspond to the left recess 23, right recess 24, left screw hole 25, and right screw hole 26 of the work machine 1, respectively.
[0045] The hook 30 is configured so that the opposing distance between the first side surface portion 32 and the second side surface portion 33 can be changed, and as described above, can be attached to the battery pack attachment portion 13 of the work machine 1 in a first position and a second position, and can also be attached to the battery pack attachment portion 13A of the work machine 1A in a first position and a second position as shown in Figures 8 to 13. The configuration for changing the opposing distance between the first side surface portion 32 and the second side surface portion 33 (including the notch 81 shown in Figure 12) will be described later.
[0046] Figure 14 is an exploded perspective view of the hook 30. In the following description, the up-down and left-right directions of the hook 30 are based on the state in Figure 14 (a state corresponding to the first position shown in Figures 4 and 5, etc.). In the second position shown in Figures 6 and 7, etc., the up-down and left-right directions are reversed.
[0047] The base portion 70 of the hook 30 has a first base portion 71 and a second base portion 72. The first base portion 71 and the second base portion 72 are each a single sheet metal part. The first base portion 71 is located on the left, and the second base portion 72 is located on the right. The first base portion 71 and the second base portion 72 are connected (combined) to each other so as to be movable in the left-right direction.
[0048] The first base portion 71 includes a first rear portion 73 and the aforementioned first side portion 32. The second base portion 72 includes a second rear portion 74 and the aforementioned second side portion 33. The first rear portion 73 and the second rear portion 74 constitute the aforementioned rear portion 31. The first hook portion 34 is connected to the rear surface of the first rear portion 73, and the second hook portion 35 is connected to the rear surface of the second rear portion 74.
[0049] The first base portion 71 has a first guide portion 75, a first locking portion 79, and a notch 81. The second base portion 72 has a second guide portion 76 and a second locking portion 80.
[0050] The first guide portion 75 is a portion that extends to face the front surface of the first rear portion 73. The first guide portion 75 is connected to the lower end of the first rear portion 73 by a first folded portion 77 and has a hook shape that extends upward. The second rear portion 74 passes through the gap between the first guide portion 75 and the first rear portion 73.
[0051] The second guide portion 76 is a portion that extends to face the rear surface of the second rear portion 74. The second guide portion 76 is connected to the upper end of the second rear portion 74 by a second folded portion 78 and has a hook shape that extends downward. The first rear portion 73 passes through the gap between the second guide portion 76 and the second rear portion 74.
[0052] The first locking portion 79 is located at the upper right end of the first rear portion 73 and has a hook shape that protrudes upward and then extends to the left. The first locking portion 79 can be hooked onto the second folded portion 78.
[0053] The second locking portion 80 is located at the lower left end of the second back portion 74 and has a hook shape that protrudes downward and then extends to the right. The second locking portion 80 can be hooked onto the first folded portion 77.
[0054] The notch 81 is provided in approximately the center in the up-down direction of the right end of the first rear surface portion 73 and extends to the left. The notch 81 is provided to allow the base of the second hook portion 35 to pass through (to avoid interference with the second hook portion 35), as shown in FIG.
[0055] The first base portion 71 and the second base portion 72 are movable relative to each other in the left-right direction when combined (hereinafter referred to as the "combined state") in which the first back portion 73 enters the gap between the second back portion 74 and the second guide portion 76 and the second back portion 74 enters the gap between the first back portion 73 and the first guide portion 75, and are configured so that the opposing distance between the first side portion 32 and the second side portion 33 can be changed as shown in Figure 15.
[0056] 16 to 18 each show the assembly process of the hook 30. FIG.
[0057] The first base portion 71 and the second base portion 72, which are not combined with each other, are brought closer to each other by inserting the first back portion 73 into the gap between the second back portion 74 and the second guide portion 76 and inserting the second back portion 74 into the gap between the first back portion 73 and the first guide portion 75 (Figure 16(A) → (C), Figure 17(A) → (C), Figure 18(A) → (C)).
[0058] 16(B), (C) and 17(B), (C), the first rear portion 73 is offset downward relative to the second rear portion 74 by a predetermined length (a length corresponding to the height of the first locking portion 79 and the second locking portion 80) so that the first locking portion 79 can pass under the second folded portion 78 and so that the second locking portion 80 can pass over the first folded portion 77. Here, as shown in FIGS. 16(C) and 18(C), the right end of the cutout 81 widens upward, so that even when the first rear portion 73 is offset downward relative to the second rear portion 74, the base of the left part of the second hook portion 35 fits into the right end of the cutout 81, preventing interference.
[0059] As shown in Figures 16(C), 17(C), and 18(C), the first locking portion 79 passes under the second folded portion 78 and the second locking portion 80 passes over the first folded portion 77. Then, as shown in Figures 16(D), 17(D), and 18(D), the second base portion 72 is moved downward relative to the first base portion 71, and as shown in Figures 16(E), 17(E), and 18(E), the second base portion 72 is moved rightward relative to the first base portion 71. This results in a state in which the first locking portion 79 is hooked onto the second folded portion 78 and the first locking portion 80 is hooked onto the first folded portion 77 (hereinafter referred to as the "locked state").
[0060] The first base portion 71 and the second base portion 72 can be separated by reversing the assembly procedure.
[0061] In the locked state, the first rear portion 73 is restricted from moving relative to the first rear portion 73 in the vertical direction by the engagement between the first locking portion 79 and the second folded portion 78. Similarly, in the locked state, the second rear portion 74 is restricted from moving relative to the first rear portion 73 in the vertical direction by the engagement between the second locking portion 80 and the first folded portion 77. Therefore, in the locked state, the first base portion 71 and the second base portion 72 are configured so as not to move apart from each other in the vertical direction.
[0062] When the first base portion 71 and the second base portion 72 are brought even closer to each other from the locked state (the opposing distance between the first side surface portion 32 and the second side surface portion 33 is reduced), the first base portion 71 and the second base portion 72 are configured not to move away from each other in the vertical direction due to the engagement between the root portion of the second hook portion 35 and the notch portion 81. The root portion of the left part of the second hook portion 35 comes into contact with the left end of the notch portion 81, thereby restricting relative movement of the first base portion 71 and the second base portion 72 in a direction in which they come even closer to each other (the opposing distance between the first side surface portion 32 and the second side surface portion 33 is further reduced).
[0063] In the locked state, the rearward movement of the first rear portion 73 is restricted by the second guide portion 76, and the forward movement of the second rear portion 74 is restricted by the first guide portion 75, so that the first base portion 71 and the second base portion 72 do not move away from each other in the front-to-rear direction. The same is true when the first base portion 71 and the second base portion 72 are brought closer to each other than in the locked state.
[0064] In the locked state, the upper sides of the first rear portion 73 and the second rear portion 74 are aligned in the vertical direction, and the lower sides of the first rear portion 73 and the second rear portion 74 are aligned in the vertical direction.
[0065] This embodiment has the following advantages.
[0066] (1) The hook 30 is configured to be attachable to the work machine 1 in either a first position ( FIGS. 4 and 5 ) in which the first hook portion 34 is located on the left side of the rear portion 31, or a second position ( FIGS. 6 and 7 ) in which the first hook portion 34 is located on the right side of the rear portion 31. Therefore, the hook 30 can be easily used by both right-handed and left-handed users by selecting between the first and second positions. That is, in the first position, the first hook portion 34, which is larger in size than the second hook portion 35, can be positioned on the side of the right-handed user holding the work machine 1, and in the second position, the first hook portion 34 can be positioned on the side of the left-handed user holding the work machine 1. Therefore, for both right-handed and left-handed users, the first hook portion 34 can be prevented from hitting an external member such as a wall or interfering with the user's forearm.
[0067] (2) The hook 30 is configured to be attachable to the work machine 1 in either of the following positions: a first position ( FIGS. 4 and 5 ) in which the first hole 42 is fastened with a left-side screw 39 into the left-side screw hole 25 ( FIG. 2 ) of the work machine 1 and the second hole 43 is fastened with a right-side screw 40 into the right-side screw hole 26 ( FIG. 3 ) of the work machine 1; or a second position ( FIGS. 6 and 7 ) in which the first hole 42 is fastened with a screw into the right-side screw hole 26 of the work machine 1 and the second hole 43 is fastened with a screw into the left-side screw hole 25 of the work machine 1. If the first position is easy for right-handed users to use, the second position is easy for left-handed users to use. Therefore, the hook 30 can be easily used by both right-handed users and left-handed users by selecting between the first position and the second position.
[0068] (3) The first protrusion 37 and the second protrusion 28 of the hook 30 are each positioned so as to substantially coincide with the center of the first hook portion 34 in the vertical direction. Therefore, the vertical positions of the first hook portion 34 are substantially the same in the first position and the second position, providing the same ease of use for both right-handed and left-handed users. Furthermore, compared to when separate protrusions for the first position and second position are provided, the number of protrusions can be reduced, preventing an increase in processing man-hours and the protrusions from becoming a hindrance.
[0069] (4) The first hole 42 and the second hole 43 of the hook 30 are each configured as an elongated hole that extends in the vertical direction from a position above the center of the first hook portion 34 to a position below the center of the first hook portion 34. Therefore, a single elongated hole can accommodate both the first position and the second position. This also makes it easier to accommodate differences in the positional relationship between the recess and the screw hole of the work machine due to differences in manufacturers, etc., and increases the number of work machines to which the hook 30 can be attached.
[0070] (5) The base portion 70 (FIG. 16) of the hook 30 has a first base portion 71 and a second base portion 72 that are connected to each other so as to be movable in the left-right direction. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 15, the opposing distance between the first side surface portion 32 and the second side surface portion 33 can be varied in a variety of ways, making it possible to attach the hook 30 to a variety of work machines with different widths of the hook attachment portion (increasing the number of work machines to which the hook 30 can be attached).
[0071] (6) The first base portion 71 and the second base portion 72 in the locked state shown in Figures 16(E), 17(E), and 18(E) are combined together so as not to be separated from each other in the front-to-back, up-down, and left-to-right directions, which makes the hook 30 highly portable.
[0072] (7) The notch 81 guides the base of the second hook 35 and prevents the first base 71 and the second base 72 from moving further away from each other in the vertical direction when the first base 71 and the second base 72 are brought closer to each other from the locked state (when the opposing distance between the first side surface 32 and the second side surface 33 is reduced). This improves operability when bringing the first base 71 and the second base 72 closer to each other from the locked state.
[0073] (Embodiment 2) FIG. 19 shows a hook 30A according to the second embodiment. In the hook 30A, the first hole 42 and the second hole 43 formed as elongated holes in the hook 30 of the first embodiment are replaced with a pair of upper and lower first hole 42A and a pair of upper and lower second hole 43A. The pair of first hole 42A is provided above and below the center of the first hook 34 in the vertical direction. Similarly, the pair of second hole 43A is provided above and below the center of the first hook 34 in the vertical direction. The upper first hole 42A and the second hole 43A are used when attaching the hook in the first position. The lower first hole 42A and the second hole 43A are used when attaching the hook in the second position.
[0074] (Embodiment 3) Fig. 20 is a perspective view of a hook 30B according to the third embodiment. Fig. 21 is a side view of the first hook portion 34B of the hook 30B as viewed from the left. In the hook 30B, the first hook portion 34 of the hook 30 of the first embodiment is replaced with the first hook portion 34B. The first hook portion 34B has an outer peripheral recess 57 on the outer periphery and an inner peripheral recess 58 on the inner periphery.
[0075] 22(A) to 22(C) show the process of attaching the carabiner 90 to the first hook portion 34B. The user presses the gate portion 91 (movable portion) of the carabiner 90 against any of the outer peripheral recesses 57 of the first hook portion 34B as shown in Fig. 22(A), opens the gate portion 91 as shown in Fig. 22(B), and attaches the carabiner 90 to the first hook portion 34B with the gate portion 91 penetrating the inside of the first hook portion 34B as shown in Fig. 22(C).
[0076] 22(D) to 22(G) show the process of removing the carabiner 90 from the first hook portion 34B. The user presses the gate portion 91 of the carabiner 90 against any of the inner recesses 58 as shown in FIG. 22(D), opens the gate portion 91 as shown in FIG. 22(E), and then protrudes from the inside of the first hook portion 34B as shown in FIG. 22(F). This allows the carabiner 90 to be removed from the hook 30B as shown in FIG. 22(G).
[0077] According to this embodiment, by pressing the gate portion 91 of the carabiner 90 against the outer peripheral recess 57 or the inner peripheral recess 58 of the first hook portion 34B, misalignment of the gate portion 91 is suppressed compared to when the gate portion 91 is pressed against a straight portion, making it easier to attach and remove the carabiner 90.
