Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a luggage hook that is attached to a baby stroller or a shopping cart and hooks luggage such as bags and shopping bags, and particularly to one with improved usability.
Background Art
[0002] When using a baby stroller or a shopping cart, bags and shopping bags are hung on the handlebar. In such a case, it is convenient if a detachable luggage hook can be attached and the bags can be hooked on this luggage hook. For this reason, various types of luggage hooks have been proposed.
[0003] Such a luggage hook is configured by combining a mounting component that is fastened to the handlebar and an S-shaped or lower half S-shaped hook component that is attached to this mounting component. The hook component is swingably attached to the mounting component, and bags can be hung in a desired direction (see, for example, Patent Document 2). However, only one piece of luggage can be hooked on one hook component, and when there are multiple pieces of luggage, it was necessary to prepare an additional luggage hook. Also, since the hanging direction of the luggage becomes fixed when the hook component is fixed, a device that enables rotation around the vertical axis has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
[0004] However, depending on the center of gravity position of the luggage, there was a problem that the hook component rotated around the rotation axis and the luggage was unstable. Furthermore, when fastening to the handlebar, there is also a type that uses a hook-and-loop fastener (see, for example, Patent Document 3). However, although the structure is simple, the user has to check the front and back of the hook-and-loop fastener each time they wrap it, which is difficult to handle when there is a lot of luggage or when in a hurry.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0018] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a baby stroller K to which a luggage hanging hook 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is attached. FIGS. 2 and 3 are plan views showing the luggage hanging hook 10. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a base body 30 and a hook unit 50 of the luggage hanging hook 10. FIG. 5 is a supplementary view for explaining the usage method of the luggage hanging hook 10. In these figures, W indicates luggage such as bags and shopping bags. FIG. 2 shows a state where the sub-hook body 73 faces the same direction as the main hook body 64, and FIG. 3 shows a state where the sub-hook body 73 faces the opposite direction to the main hook body 64.
[0019] As shown in FIG. 1, the luggage hanging hook 10 is detachably attached to a handlebar (attachment portion) Ka of the baby stroller K. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the luggage hanging hook 10 includes an attachment base 20 disposed opposite to the handlebar Ka, a hook unit 50 rotatably provided around a rotation axis R with respect to the attachment base 20, a belt 81 attached to the attachment base 20 and wound around the handlebar Ka, and a reinforcing belt 83 for reinforcing a connecting portion of the belt 81 wound around the handlebar Ka.
[0020] The mounting base 20 includes a plate-shaped base body 30 and a swing base 40 swingably attached to the base body 30. The base body 30 has a plate-shaped plate member 31. In the plate member 31, 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 connection pin 62 described later passes are formed.
[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] In the plate member 41, a first hole 43 through which a belt 81 described later passes, which is formed along the thickness direction of the plate member 41, and a horizontal hole 44 that communicates with the first hole 43 and opens on the tip side along the length direction of the plate member 41 and through which a reinforcing belt 83 described later passes are formed.
[0023] The hook unit 50 includes a main hook member 60 and a sub-hook member 70. The main hook member 60 has a columnar main neck portion 61 and an annular main hook body 64 with a part of it opened, which is connected to the lower end of the main neck portion 61. A pin hole is formed on the upper end surface of the main neck portion 61. In a state where this pin hole is aligned with the through hole 34 of the base body 30, the main hook member 60 is rotatably mounted on the base body 30 substantially vertically by a connection 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 connection pin 62 and the inner diameter of the through-hole 34. As a result, the entire main hook member 60 can be rotated by hand around the central axis R with respect to the base body 30. Further, when rotating the main hook member 60, it is preferable that a certain torque is required. For example, the resistance can be realized by making the fitting between the connection pin 62 and the through-hole 34 an interference 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, still more preferably 15 to 30 cN·m, and even more preferably 20 to 25 cN·m. Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the distance h1 from the central axis R to the point of force of the main hook member 60 is 4 cm, and the torque in this example is 24 cN·m.
[0025] In addition, in this embodiment, the main neck portion 61 and the main hook body 64 are integrally formed, and the main neck portion is rotatably attached to the base body 30. However, the main neck portion and the base body 30 may be integrally formed, and the main hook body and the main neck member may be attached so as to be rotatable with respect to each other.
[0026] A flange portion 63 that protrudes outward is formed on the circumferential surface of the main neck portion 61. The flange portion 63 has a function of supporting the auxiliary hook member 70 described above. The opening portion 65 of the main hook body 64 is formed slightly upward to prevent the load W from falling off. Further, the central position C1 of the annular shape of the main hook body 64 is slightly shifted toward the opening portion 65 side from the rotation center axis R.
[0027] The sub-hook member 70 has a cylindrical sub-neck portion 71. The inner diameter of the sub-neck portion 71 is equivalent to or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the main neck portion 61. Thereby, the sub-neck portion 71 is rotatably fitted onto the main neck portion 61. Here too, it is preferable that a certain torque is required to turn the sub-hook member 70. In this embodiment, it is 5 to 40 cN·m, more preferably 10 to 35 cN·m, still more preferably 15 to 30 cN·m, and even more preferably 20 to 25 cN·m. Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the distance h2 from the central axis R to the point of force 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. An annular sub-hook body 73 with a partially open portion is connected to this bracket 72. The open portion 74 of the sub-hook body 73 is formed slightly upward to prevent the load from falling off. Also, the central position C2 of the circle of the sub-hook body 73 is shifted from the rotation central 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 rotatable around the rotation central axis R relative to each other.
[0030] Therefore, when the main hook body 64 and the sub-hook body 73 face different directions, the sub-hook body 73 separates from the open portion 65 of the main hook body 64 (see the solid line in FIG. 5). When the main hook body 64 and the sub-hook body 73 face the same direction, that is, when the main hook body 64 and the sub-hook body 73 are aligned, the sub-hook body 73 is smaller than the main hook body 64 so that the open portion 65 of the main hook body 64 is blocked by the sub-hook body 73, and has a shape that partially overlaps the upper part of the main hook body 64 (the overlapping amount is t1 shown in FIG. 2) (see the dashed line in FIG. 5). Specifically, the height from the upper end to the lower end of the sub-hook member 70 is approximately equivalent to the height of the main neck portion 61 or slightly higher than the height of the main neck portion 61.
[0031] Here, when the main hook body 64 and the sub-hook body 73 face the same direction, the blocking dimension D2 of the main hook body 64 release portion 65 by the sub-hook body 73 is preferably set to 50% or less, preferably 25% or less, and more preferably 10% or less of the original opening dimension D1. In this embodiment, the original opening dimension is 2 cm, and the opening dimension when blocked is designed to be 4 mm.
[0032] In this embodiment, also, the continuous straight portion from the bracket 72 to the sub-hook body 73 is inclined with respect to the rotation center axis R. In other words, the straight line passing through the lowest point G2 of the sub-hook body 73 and the annular center C2 of the sub-hook body 73 is inclined with respect to the rotation center axis R. Thereby, when the sub-hook body 73 rotates, the sub-hook body 73 does not interfere with the main hook member 60 (see dimension D3 in FIG. 2).
[0033] The belt 81, together with the reinforcing belt 83, constitutes a belt unit 80. The belt 81 has a sufficient length to wrap around the handlebar Ka as a whole. 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. Since the reinforcing belt 83 is sewn to the surface of the belt 81 at the joint portion P, the joint portion becomes thick, preventing the belt 81 from coming out of the second hole 33 and preventing the belt unit 80 from falling off the mounting base 20.
[0034] A loop surface of the hook-and-loop fastener is formed on the entire surface 81a of the belt 81, and a hook surface of the hook-and-loop fastener is formed on the entire back surface 81b. In the figure, 81c indicates one end of the belt 81 and 81d indicates the other end. The hook surface and the loop surface of the hook-and-loop fastener are joined by pressing and have a certain bonding force, and a certain strong force is required to peel them off.
[0035] The surface 83a of the reinforcing belt 83 is not formed with anything, and a hook surface of a hook-and-loop fastener is formed on the tip 83c side of the back surface 83b. In the figure, 83c indicates the tip of the reinforcing belt 83. The length of the reinforcing belt 83 is formed longer than the length from the joint portion P to the other end 81d of the belt 81.
[0036] The luggage hanging hook 10 configured in this way is used, for example, as shown in FIG. 6. First, the luggage hanging hook 10 is fixed to the handlebar Ka of the stroller K. When fixing, the mounting base 20 is brought close to the handlebar Ka, and one end 81c side of the belt 81 is wound around the handlebar Ka. From above the one end 81c side of the belt 81 wound around the handlebar Ka, the other end 81d side of the belt 81 is wound. At this time, the hook surface of the back surface 81b of the other end 81d side of the belt 81 engages and joins with the loop surface of the front surface 81a of the one end 81c side of the belt 81. Further, when the reinforcing belt 83 is wound around the handlebar Ka from above that, the hook surface of the back surface 83b of the reinforcing belt 83 engages and joins with the loop surface of the front surface 81a of 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 joined, the front surface 81a of the belt 81 and the back surface 83b of the reinforcing belt 83 are joined, and the entire belt unit 80 is wound around and fixed to the handlebar Ka. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing this state.
[0038] Referring to FIG. 6, an example was described in which one end 81c side of the belt 81 was first wound around the handlebar Ka. However, it is also possible to first wind the other end 81d side of the belt 81 around the handlebar Ka. As shown in FIG. 7, when fixing, the mounting base 20 is brought closer to the handlebar Ka, and the other end 81d side of the belt 81 is wound around the handlebar Ka. From above the other end 81d side of the belt 81 wound around the handlebar Ka, the one end 81c side of the belt 81 is wound. At this time, the hook surface of the back surface 81b of the one end 81c side of the belt 81 engages and joins with the loop surface of the front surface 81a of the other end 81d side of the belt 81. Further, when the reinforcing belt 83 is wound around the handlebar Ka from above it, the hook surface of the back surface 83b of the reinforcing belt 83 engages and joins with the loop surface of the front surface 81a of the one end 81c side of the belt 81 at the tip 83c side.
[0039] Next, the luggage W is hooked on the main hook body 64 of the main hook member 60 at the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 5. The load of the luggage W acts on 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 center C1 of the ring. 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 indicated by F in FIG. 5 and moves to the position of the broken line in FIG. 5. At this time, the connection pin 62 tilts in the through hole 34. Since there is only a slight gap between the outer diameter of the connection pin 62 and the inner diameter of the through hole 34, the connection pin 62 is caught by the inner wall of the through hole 34, and the free rotation of the connection pin 62 is restricted. Therefore, the main neck portion 61 of the main hook body 64 with the luggage W hung thereon does not rotate and stabilizes.
[0040] On the other hand, the sub-neck portion 71 rotatably attached to the main neck portion 61 rotates due to the self-weight of the bracket 72 and the sub-hook body 73, and rotates to the position of the dashed line in Fig. 5. That is, as described above, the main hook body 64 and the sub-hook body 73 face the same direction and are stabilized. At this time, since the sub-hook body 73 closes the opening portion 65 of the main hook body 64, it is possible to prevent the load W from falling off from the opening portion 65. Furthermore, since the rotational position of the sub-hook body 73 is also stabilized, the user does not need to change the orientation of the sub-hook body 73 in order to hook other loads, which is convenient to use.
[0041] When the luggage hook 10 configured as described above is wound around the handlebar Ka, since the hook-and-loop fasteners are formed on both the front and back surfaces of the belt 81, either side of the belt 81 can be wound around the handlebar Ka first. Therefore, the user can perform the fixing work without worrying about the orientation. In addition, by further winding the reinforcing belt 83 on the upper side, the area of the joint portion by the hook-and-loop fastener can be increased, and it can be fixed more stably, improving the usability.
[0042] Also, by hanging the load W on the main hook body 64 of the main hook member 60, the main hook body 64 can be tilted to restrict the rotation of the main neck portion 61 and be stabilized. At this time, the sub-hook body 73 of the sub-hook member 70 closes the opening portion 65 of the main hook body 64, further suppressing the falling off of the load W. Furthermore, other loads can be hooked by the sub-hook body 73, improving the 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 without departing from the gist thereof at the implementation stage.
[0044] For example, in the above embodiment, the shapes of the main hook body 64 and the sub-hook body 73 are ring bodies with a partially open part, 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 partially open part, or it may be an elliptical ring body with a partially open part.
[0045] Also, as shown in FIG. 8, the shape of the hook body 64 may be channel-shaped.
[0046] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the swing base 40 was connected to the mounting base 20 by the pin 42, but as shown in FIG. 8, it is not necessary for the two to be connected to each other.
