The luggage support device 1 includes a base plate 2, a support part 3 that is movable relative to the base plate 2, and an attachment part 4 for detachably attaching the base plate 2 to a loading platform 101.

[0012] The substrate 2 of this embodiment is a U-shaped member, and parallel portions form guide portions 21 with a concave cross section. The two left and right guide portions 21 are connected by a substrate connection portion 22. The support portion 3 has a sliding portion 31 that is slidable relative to the substrate 2, and a wall portion 32 that is installed so that the angle can be adjusted on a line parallel to a side 311 at the tip of the sliding portion 31 in the direction in which it expands. The sliding portion 31 has two guided portions 31a that are slidable relative to the two guide portions 21, and a support connection portion 31b that connects the guided portions 31a.

[0013] 3, the guide portion 21 is slidably attached to the guided portion 31a. For example, the guide portion 21 and the guided portion 31a of this embodiment may be structured such that the convex guided portion 31a slides on the concave guiding portion 21, or such that the concave guided portion 31a slides on the convex guiding portion 21. Furthermore, the guide portion 21 and the guided portion 31a may be structured so that their positions can be maintained in stages.

[0014] The support part 3 of this embodiment has a rising part 33 extending perpendicularly from the side 311 between the support connection part 31b and the wall part 32. The support part 3 also has a connecting part 34 that connects the upper part of the rising part 33 to the lower part of the wall part 32 in FIG. 2 in an angle adjustable manner. Note that the rising part 33 may not be provided, and the sliding part 31 and the wall part 32 may be connected by the connecting part 34 in an angle adjustable manner. The connecting part 34 of this embodiment uses a hinge having a stopper function that can hold it at a predetermined angle, but other structures may also be used.

[0015] Fig. 4 shows an example of the folded state of the luggage support device 1 of this embodiment. Fig. 4(a) shows an example of the folded state of the luggage support device 1 of this embodiment.

Fig. 4(c) shows an example of the standing state of the luggage support device 1 of this embodiment.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 4(a), the wall portion 32 is usually folded approximately parallel to the base plate 2. In the luggage support device 1 of this embodiment, when it is folded, a gap is formed between the base plate 2 and the wall portion 32, into which the platform 101 of the dolly 100 is sandwiched. Note that when the luggage support device 1 is attached to the surface 101a of the platform 101 of the dolly 100, the rising portion 33 need not be provided, and no gap needs to be formed between the base plate 2 and the wall portion 32. The luggage support device 1 may be used in the folded state.

[0017] When the wall portion 32 is rotated open from the state shown in FIG. 4(a), it is held at a predetermined angle as shown in FIG. 4(b). The connecting portion 34 of this embodiment can be held at a preset angle. For example, a torque or a cam may be used as the holding mechanism. The hold can be released by applying a larger torque or by moving the cam with a button or the like. The luggage support device 1 may be used in the state shown in FIG. 4(b) depending on the shape of the luggage.

[0018] 4(b), the wall portion 32 stops at a position perpendicular to the substrate 2. The wall portion 32 may be structured to be further rotatable and openable, and may be angled at an angle of 90 degrees or more relative to the substrate 2.

[0019] A first notch 32a is formed at the lower end of the wall portion 32 in Fig. 2. A second notch 33a is formed at the upper tip of the rising portion 33 in Fig. 2. The first notch 32a and the second notch 33a should be wide enough to allow the string S for holding the luggage L to pass through. Furthermore, by providing multiple first notches 32a and second notches 33a, the position for passing the string S can be adjusted, and the luggage L can be held more firmly in an appropriate position. Note that if the rising portion 33 is not provided, a notch may be formed in the edge 311 at the tip in the direction in which the sliding portion 31 expands.

[0020] An indicator 32b is formed on the upper side of the wall 32 to alert the user. The indicator 32b may have a conspicuous pattern, such as a yellow and black striped pattern. A threading section 35 for threading a string or the like is provided on the tip side of the wall 32, on the upper end side in FIG. 2. In this embodiment, the threading section 35 uses a triangular ring to make it easy to hold a string or the like, but other shapes or a hook or the like may also be used.

[0021] Fig. 5 shows an example of the rear surface 101b of the loading platform 101 before the luggage support device 1 of this embodiment is installed. Fig. 6 shows an example of the rear surface 101b of the loading platform 101 after the luggage support device 1 of this embodiment is installed.

[0022] The mounting portion 4 is installed on the upper surface 21a or the lower surface 21b of the base plate 2. In this embodiment, the mounting portion 4 is installed on the upper surface 21a of the base plate 2. In this case, the mounting portion 4 is attached to the mounting portion 5 on the back surface 101b of the loading platform 101 shown in FIG. 5. The mounting portion 4 and the mounting portion 5 may be hook-and-loop fasteners or the like.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 5, the attachment portions 5 of this embodiment are attached to predetermined positions on the back surface 101b of the loading platform 101. The attachment portions 5 of this embodiment are arranged in two rows on each side of the loading platform 101. The attachment portions 5 of this embodiment are also arranged in a T-shape on one side between the left and right attachment portions 5. As shown in FIG. 6, the attachment portions 5 are installed so that the wall portions 32 are positioned outward from the loading platform 101 when the luggage support device 1 is installed. The installation positions of the attachment portions 5 are not limited to those shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, and they may be installed in any position.

[0024] FIG. 7 shows an example of a state in which a load L is placed on a cart 100 on which the load support device 1 of this embodiment is installed.

[0025] If the size of the luggage L is smaller than the loading platform 101 of the dolly 100 and the luggage L does not protrude from the loading platform 101, the luggage support device 1 may be used in a folded state as shown in FIG. 4(a). In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, the luggage L can be firmly held by passing a string S for holding the luggage L through the first cutout portion 32a and the second cutout portion 33a of the luggage support device 1. Note that the luggage L can also be firmly held by passing the string S through the threading portion 35 of the luggage support device 1. Note that if the luggage is stable, it is not necessary to use a string.

[0026] Fig. 8 shows an example of the expanded state of the luggage support device 1 of this embodiment installed on the loading platform 101. Fig. 9 shows an example of the expanded state of the luggage support device 1 of this embodiment with luggage L placed on the loading platform 101.

[0027] If the size of the luggage L is larger than the loading platform 101 of the dolly 100 and the luggage L protrudes from the loading platform 101, it is preferable to use the luggage support device 1 in the open state as shown in Fig. 4(b) or 4(c). In this case, as shown in Fig. 9, by passing a string S through the threading portion 35 of the luggage support device 1, the luggage L can be held firmly.

[0028] When the mounting portion 4 is installed on the lower surface 21b of the substrate 2, the mounted portion 5 may be installed on the surface 101a of the loading platform 101. In this case, the mounted portion 5 may be installed so that the position of the wall portion 32 matches the size of the luggage. For example, when the luggage L is smaller than the loading platform 101, the mounted portion 5 may be installed so that the wall portion 32 is located inside the loading platform 101. When the luggage L is larger than the loading platform 101, the mounted portion 5 may be installed so that the wall portion 32 is located outside the loading platform 101.

[0029] As described above, the luggage support device 1 of this embodiment is attached to a loading platform 101 on which luggage L is placed, and expands the loading range of the loading platform 101, and includes a base plate 2, a support section 3 that is movable relative to the base plate 2, and an attachment section 4 for detachably attaching the base plate 2 to the loading platform 101, and the support section 3 has a slide section 31 that is slidable relative to the base plate 2, and a wall section 32 that is installed so that the angle can be adjusted on a line parallel to the edge 311 at the tip in the direction in which the slide section 31 expands. Therefore, the luggage support device 1 of this embodiment can be used with an existing loading platform 101 on which luggage L is placed, and is detachable, has an expandable loading range, and is capable of firmly holding luggage.

[0030] Furthermore, in the luggage support device 1 of this embodiment, the support section 3 has a rising section 33 that extends perpendicularly from the edge 311 at the tip end in the direction in which the sliding section 31 on which the wall section 32 is installed extends, and a connecting section 34 that connects the upper part of the rising section 33 to the lower part of the wall section 32 in an angle-adjustable manner. Therefore, the luggage support device 1 of this embodiment can more firmly hold luggage L in accordance with its shape.

[0031] Furthermore, in the luggage support device 1 of this embodiment, a first notch 32a is formed at the lower end of the wall portion 32, and a second notch 33a is formed at the upper tip of the rising portion 33. Therefore, the luggage support device 1 of this embodiment can pass a string through the first notch 32a and the second notch 33a, and can hold the luggage L more firmly in accordance with its shape.

[0032] Furthermore, the luggage support device 1 of this embodiment further includes a through-hole 35 provided on the tip side of the wall portion 32. Therefore, the luggage support device 1 of this embodiment can pass a string through the through-hole 35, and can hold the luggage L more firmly according to its shape.

[0033] Furthermore, in the luggage support device 1 of this embodiment, the mounting portion 4 is installed on the upper surface 21a of the base plate 2. Therefore, the luggage support device 1 of this embodiment can be used with an existing luggage platform 101 on which luggage L is placed, simply by installing the mounting portion 5 on the back surface 101b of the platform 101, and can be detachable, have an expandable loading range, and can firmly hold luggage.

[0034] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, all of which are included in the technical concept of the present invention.

[0035] Furthermore, the present invention may appropriately combine the features of each embodiment. For example, any two or more of the features may be appropriately combined, or all of the features may be combined. [Explanation of symbols]
