Description

【Technical Field】 【0001】 The present disclosure relates to a surfboard carrier for automobiles. 【Background Art】 【0002】 Surfboard carriers disposed on the roof of automobiles are in use (see, for example, Patent Document 1). More specifically, a roof carrier is disposed on the roof of an automobile, and the buckle belt and ratchet of the surfboard carrier are fixed to the base bar of the roof carrier. Although various methods of fixing the buckle belt and ratchet to the base bar are conceivable, it is common to fix the buckle belt and ratchet respectively using fixing members such as bolts and nuts. 【Prior Art Documents】 【Patent Documents】 【0003】 【Patent Document 1】 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-144967 【Summary of the Invention】 【Problems to be Solved by the Invention】 【0004】 Since general surfboard carriers for automobiles do not have an anti-theft function for preventing theft, there is a risk that the surfboard loaded on the surfboard carrier or the surfboard carrier itself may be stolen. 【0005】 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a surfboard carrier for automobiles that can prevent theft of the surfboard and the surfboard carrier itself. 【Means for Solving the Problems】 【0006】 A surfboard carrier for an automobile according to one aspect of the present disclosure comprises a buckle belt unit having a buckle belt disposed on a base bar provided on the roof of an automobile so as to extend in the width direction of the vehicle; a ratchet unit having a ratchet disposed on the base bar at a distance from the buckle belt; and a belt with a hook, one end of which engages with the tip of the buckle belt and the other end of which engages with the belt winding portion of the ratchet. The buckle belt unit has a detachment restriction member that restricts the attachment and detachment of the buckle belt, which is fixed to the base bar using a fixing member. The detachment restriction member has a lower case member that holds the fixing portion of the buckle belt, and an upper case member that can be displaced between a detachable position in which the buckle belt can be attached and detached and a detachment restriction position in which the attachment and detachment of the buckle belt is restricted. An insertion hole is formed in the upper case member through which a tool for fastening and unfastening the fixing member can be inserted only when the upper case member is in the detachable position. 【0007】 Furthermore, an automobile surfboard carrier according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a buckle belt unit having a buckle belt disposed on a base bar provided on the roof of an automobile so as to extend in the width direction of the vehicle, a ratchet unit having a ratchet disposed on the base bar at a distance from the buckle belt, and a hooked belt having one end engaged with the tip of the buckle belt and the other end engaged with the belt winding portion of the ratchet. The ratchet unit has a detachment restriction member that restricts the attachment and detachment of the ratchet, which is fixed to the base bar using a fixing member. The detachment restriction member has a base member that holds the fixing portion of the ratchet, and a cover member that can be displaced between a detachable position in which the ratchet can be attached and detached and a detachment restriction position in which the attachment and detachment of the ratchet is restricted. The cover member that covers the fixing member in the detachment restriction position is rotatably connected to the base member so as to enable fastening and unfastening of the fixing member only when the cover member is in the detachable position. [Effects of the Invention] 【0008】 According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a car surfboard carrier that can prevent the theft of surfboards and the surfboard carrier itself.

[Modes for carrying out the invention] 【0010】 Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the right side in the vehicle width direction is denoted as RH, the left side in the vehicle width direction as LH, the upper side of the vehicle as UPR, the lower side of the vehicle as LWR, the front side of the vehicle as FR, and the rear side of the vehicle as RR. 【0011】 Referring to FIGS. 1 to 11, an automobile surfboard carrier according to an embodiment (hereinafter, also simply referred to as "surfboard carrier") will be described. 【0012】 As shown in FIG. 1, a roof carrier 3 is disposed on the roof 2 of an automobile, and a buckle belt 11 and a ratchet 51 of the surfboard carrier 1 are fixed to a base bar 4 of the roof carrier 3. The base bars 4 are arranged in a pair in the vehicle front-rear direction, and each base bar 4 is arranged to extend in the vehicle width direction. 【0013】 [Overall Structure of Surfboard Carrier] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the surfboard carrier 1 includes a buckle belt unit 10, a ratchet unit 50, and a belt with hook 90. 【0014】 As shown in FIGS. 2 to 7, the buckle belt unit 10 has a buckle belt 11 disposed on a base bar 4 provided to extend in the vehicle width direction on the roof 2 of the automobile. 【0015】 The buckle belt 11 has a belt portion 12, a fixing portion 13 connected to the base end portion of the belt portion 12, a buckle 14 connected to the tip end portion of the belt portion 12, and a protection pad 15 disposed at the tip end portion of the belt portion 12. 【0016】 The belt portion 12 of the buckle belt 11 is rotatably connected to the fixing portion 13 of the buckle belt 11 via a connecting pin 16. 【0017】 The fixing portion 13 has a pair of side portions 17, 17 formed at intervals in the vehicle front-rear direction, a back portion 18 connecting these pair of side portions 17, 17 on the outer side in the vehicle width direction, and a flange portion 19 extending outward in the vehicle front-rear direction from the pair of side portions 17, 17. The fixing portion 13 is formed of, for example, a metal material. 【0018】 A support hole 20 is formed in the fixing portion 13 of the buckle belt 11 through which a connecting pin 16 is inserted. The support hole 20 is configured to have a first elongated hole 21 provided in the side portion 17 of the fixing portion 13 and extending in the vertical direction of the vehicle. In this embodiment, the first elongated hole 21 is formed to be inclined toward the inside in the vehicle width direction (i.e., the side where the ratchet 51 is located) as it moves toward the upper side of the vehicle. As the connecting pin 16 moves toward the upper side of the vehicle within the first elongated hole 21, the relative movement of the upper case member 32 with respect to the lower case member 31, which will be described later, is restricted. 【0019】 Furthermore, the fixing portion 13 of the buckle belt 11 is fixed to the lower case member 31 using rivets or the like (not shown). In addition, an insertion hole 22 is formed in the flange portion 19 of the fixing portion 13 through which a bolt 23, which will be described later, is inserted. 【0020】 Furthermore, the buckle belt unit 10 has a detachment restriction member 30 that restricts the attachment and detachment of the buckle belt 11, which is fixed to the base bar 4 using bolts 23 as fixing members. 【0021】 The detachment restriction member 30 includes a lower case member 31 that holds the fixing portion 13 of the buckle belt 11, and an upper case member 32 that can be displaced between a detachable position where the buckle belt 11 can be attached and detached, and a detachment restriction position where the detachment of the buckle belt 11 is restricted. 【0022】 A receiving portion 33 for accommodating the flange portion 19 of the fixing portion 13 of the buckle belt 11 is formed on the upper surface of the lower case member 31, and a through hole portion (not shown) through which a bolt 23 is inserted is formed on the bottom surface of this receiving portion 33. The lower case member 31 is made of, for example, a high-strength resin material. 【0023】 On the underside of the vehicle of the lower case member 31, a fastening mating member 34 is positioned with the base bar 4 in between. The base end (fixing portion 13) of the buckle belt 11 is fixed to the base bar 4 by fastening a bolt 23 to a nut (not shown) built into the fastening mating member 34. The fastening mating member 34 is formed of, for example, a high-strength resin material. 【0024】 Furthermore, a spacer or sleeve 35 is attached to the shaft portion of the bolt 23 located between the lower case member 31 and the mating member 34. 【0025】 The upper case member 32 has a pair of side wall portions 36, 36 that are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, a back wall portion 37 that connects these pair of side wall portions 36, 36 on the outer side in the vehicle width direction, and a cover portion 38 that extends outward from the pair of side wall portions 36, 36 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. 【0026】 The upper case member 32 has a support hole 40 through which a connecting pin 16 is inserted. The support hole 40 is composed of a first elongated hole 41 provided in the side wall portion 36 of the upper case member 32 and extending in the vehicle vertical direction, and a second elongated hole 42 provided only in the side wall portion 36 of the upper case member 32 and extending inward in the vehicle width direction from the lower end of the first elongated hole 41. In this embodiment, the first elongated hole 41 is formed to be inclined inward in the vehicle width direction (i.e., the side where the ratchet 51 is located) as it moves toward the upper side of the vehicle. When the connecting pin 16 moves toward the upper side of the vehicle within the first elongated hole 41, the relative movement of the upper case member 32 with respect to the lower case member 31 is restricted. On the other hand, when the connecting pin 16 moves inward in the vehicle width direction within the second elongated hole 42, relative movement (sliding movement) of the upper case member 32 with respect to the lower case member 31 is permitted. 【0027】 Furthermore, the cover portion 38 of the upper case member 32 is formed with an insertion hole 43 through which a tool such as a hex wrench (not shown) can be inserted to fasten and unfasten the bolt 23, which serves as a fixing member, only when the upper case member 32 is in a detachable position. 【0028】 Such an upper case member 32 is supported so as to be slidable along the vehicle width direction relative to the lower case member 31. The upper case member 32 is formed of, for example, a rigid resin material. 【0029】 As shown in Figure 6, when the upper case member 32 is superimposed on the lower case member 31, the head of the bolt 23 is covered by the upper case member 32 (cover portion 38), restricting the attachment and detachment of the buckle belt 11 (restricted attachment / detachment position). On the other hand, as shown in Figure 5, when the upper case member 32 is slid outward in the vehicle width direction relative to the lower case member 31, the insertion hole 43 of the upper case member 32 is positioned on the vehicle side of the bolt 23, making it possible to attach and detach the buckle belt 11 (removable attachment / detachment position). 【0030】 The buckle belt unit 10 may also be provided with a locking mechanism similar to the locking mechanism 45 described later, which locks the upper case member 32 in a position that restricts attachment and detachment. 【0031】 As shown in Figures 2 to 4 and Figures 7 to 11, the ratchet unit 50 has a buckle belt 11 and a ratchet 51 that is spaced apart on the base bar 4 in the direction of extension of the base bar 4 (in this embodiment, the vehicle width direction). 【0032】 The ratchet 51 is configured to include a support portion 52 and a ratchet lever 53 supported by the support portion 52. 【0033】 The support portion 52 has a pair of side portions 54, 54 formed at intervals in the vehicle's longitudinal direction, a rear portion 55 connecting these side portions 54, 54 on the inside in the vehicle's width direction, and a fixing portion 56 extending outward from the pair of side portions 54, 54 in the vehicle's longitudinal direction. The support portion 52 is formed of, for example, a metal material. 【0034】 A slit 57 is formed in the side portion 54 of the support portion 52, which slidably holds the wheel stop 78 on the inside in the vehicle width direction. The wheel stop 78 on the inside in the vehicle width direction is biased toward the gear 77, which will be described later, by a spring 58 positioned between it and the rear portion 55 of the support portion 52. 【0035】 Furthermore, the side portion 54 is formed with a notch 59 into which the wheel stop 79 on the outer side in the vehicle width direction can engage, and an upper stopper 61 and a lower stopper 62 for defining the operating range R of the ratchet lever 53 when winding the hooked belt 90 onto the belt winding portion 66, which will be described later. 【0036】 Furthermore, the support portion 52 of the ratchet 51 is fixed to the base member 81, which will be described later, using rivets 63 as fixing members. In addition, the fixing portion 13 of the support portion 52 has an insertion hole 64 through which a bolt 60, which will be described later, is inserted, and a key passage hole 65 through which a key 46, which will be described later, can pass (see Figure 11). 【0037】 The ratchet lever 53 rotates the belt winding section 66 of the ratchet 51 to wind up the hooked belt 90. 【0038】 The ratchet lever 53 has a pair of lever bodies 67, 67 that are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and a connecting portion 68 that connects these lever bodies 67, 67 on the outside (tip end) in the vehicle width direction. The ratchet lever 53 is formed of, for example, a metal material, and a knob 69 made of, for example, a resin material is attached to the connecting portion 68 of the ratchet lever 53. 【0039】 A shaft portion 71, which constitutes the belt winding portion 66, is stretched between a pair of lever bodies 67, 67 of the ratchet lever 53. A pin 72 is attached to the end of the shaft portion 71 that protrudes from the lever body 67 in the vehicle's front-rear direction to prevent it from coming off, and an annular washer 73 is placed between this pin 72 and the lever body 67. 【0040】 Furthermore, the lever body 67 has a slit 74 that slidably holds the outer wheel stop 79 in the vehicle width direction, and the outer wheel stop 79 in the vehicle width direction is biased toward the gear 77 by a spring 75 that is positioned between it and the connecting portion 68 of the ratchet lever 53. 【0041】 The bearing hole 76a provided in the side portion 54 of the support portion 52 and the bearing hole 76b provided in the lever body portion 67 of the ratchet lever 53 are aligned, and a pair of shaft portions 71, 71 are stretched across them. The tip portion 91 of the belt with hook 90 is inserted into the gap between these pair of shaft portions 71, 71. 【0042】 Furthermore, a pair of gears 77, 77 are arranged on the shaft portion 71 that constitutes the belt winding portion 66, spaced apart in the vehicle's longitudinal direction. Then, chocks 78, 79 are positioned on the inner and outer sides of the gear 77 in the vehicle's width direction, respectively. By engaging these chocks 78, 79 with the gear 77, the gear 77 is configured to rotate only in one direction (clockwise in Figures 8 and 9) when the ratchet lever 53 is operated. 【0043】 The inner wheel stop 78 in the vehicle width direction is slidably held along a slit 57 formed in the side portion 54 of the support portion 52, and the wheel stop 78 engages with the gear 77 from the inner side in the vehicle width direction. On the other hand, the outer wheel stop 79 in the vehicle width direction is slidably held along a slit 74 formed in the lever body portion 67 of the ratchet lever 53, and the wheel stop 79 engages with the gear 77 from the outer side in the vehicle width direction. 【0044】 Furthermore, a release lever 70 is formed on the outer portion of the wheel chock 79 in the vehicle width direction, which is operated to loosen the hooked belt 90. 【0045】 In this embodiment, the rotation radius D of the ratchet lever 53 (see Figure 9) is made larger than that of a typical ratchet lever, and the fixed torque is also larger than that of a typical ratchet lever. Specifically, the rotation radius D of the ratchet lever 53 is 90 mm to 100 mm. In this embodiment, the rotation radius D of the ratchet lever 53 is 94 mm. By the way, the rotation radius D of the ratchet lever 53 refers to the length from the rotation center of the ratchet lever 53 to the tip of the ratchet lever 53. 【0046】 Furthermore, in this embodiment, the operating range R of the ratchet lever 53 (see Figure 9) is made larger than that of a typical ratchet lever. Specifically, the operating range R of the ratchet lever 53 is 91° to 110°. In this embodiment, the operating range R of the ratchet lever 53 is 108°. The operating range R of the ratchet lever 53 refers to the angle at which the ratchet lever 53 can be moved up and down when winding up the belt portion 92 of the hooked belt 90. The upper limit of the operating range R of the ratchet lever 53 is defined by the upper stopper 61, and the lower limit of the operating range R of the ratchet lever 53 is defined by the lower stopper 62. 【0047】 The ratchet unit 50 has a detachment restriction member 80 that restricts the attachment and detachment of the ratchet 51, which is fixed to the base bar 4 using a bolt 60 as a fixing member. 【0048】 The detachment restriction member 80 includes a base member 81 that holds the fixing portion 56 of the ratchet 51, and a cover member 82 that can be displaced between a detachable position where the ratchet 51 can be detached and a detachment restriction position where the detachment of the ratchet 51 is restricted. 【0049】 A housing portion 83 (see Figure 11) for housing the fixing portion 56 of the ratchet 51 is formed on the upper surface of the base member 81, and a through hole portion (not shown) through which a bolt 60 is inserted is formed on the bottom surface of the housing portion 83. The base member 81 is formed of, for example, a high-strength resin material. 【0050】 On the underside of the vehicle of the base member 81, a mating member 84 is positioned with the base bar 4 in between. The ratchet 51 is fixed to the base bar 4 by fastening a bolt 60 to a nut (not shown) built into the mating member 84. The mating member 84 is formed of, for example, a high-strength resin material. 【0051】 Furthermore, a spacer or sleeve 85 is attached to the shaft portion of the bolt 60, which is located between the base member 81 and the mating member 84. 【0052】 Furthermore, the base member 81 is rotatably connected to the cover member 82, which covers the bolt 60 from the vehicle side when the cover member 82 is in a detachable position, so that the bolt 60, which acts as a fixing member, can be fastened and unfastened only when the cover member 82 is in a detachable position. 【0053】 The cover member 82 has a base end portion 87 connected to the base member 81 via a hinge portion 86, a tip portion 88 located on the opposite side of the base end portion 87 with the ratchet 51 in between, and a bridge portion 89 formed by spanning between the base end portion 87 and the tip portion 88. The base end portion 87 of the cover member 82 covers the bolt 60 on the rear side of the vehicle from the upper side of the vehicle body when the cover member 82 is in the detachment restriction position. The tip portion 88 of the cover member 82 covers the bolt 60 on the front side of the vehicle, the key passage hole 65, and the cylinder (not shown) of the lock mechanism 45, which will be described later, from the upper side of the vehicle when the cover member 82 is in the detachment restriction position. Furthermore, the bridge portion 89 of the cover member 82 covers the ratchet lever 53 and the release lever 70 from the upper side of the vehicle so that they cannot be operated when the cover member 82 is in the detachment restriction position. 【0054】 The detachment restriction member 80 further includes a locking mechanism 45 that locks the cover member 82 in the detachment restriction position. 【0055】 The locking mechanism 45 includes a keyhole 47 located on the cover member 82 side into which a key 46 is inserted, and a cylinder (not shown) located on the base member 81 side. 【0056】 As shown in Figure 10, when the cover member 82 is superimposed on the base member 81, the head of the bolt 60 is covered by the cover member 82 from the upper side of the vehicle, restricting the attachment and detachment of the ratchet 51 (restricted attachment / detachment position). On the other hand, as shown in Figure 11, when the lock by the locking mechanism 45 is released and the cover member 82 is rotated relative to the base member 81 to open it, the bolt 60 that secures the base member 81 is exposed, and the ratchet 51 can be attached and detached (removable attachment / detachment position). 【0057】 The hooked belt 90 is also called a buckle hook belt. One end of this hooked belt 90 is engaged with a buckle 14 at the tip of the buckle belt 11, and the other end (tip 91) is engaged with the belt winding part 66 of the ratchet 51. The hooked belt 90 has a belt portion 92 and a hook 93 connected to one end of the belt portion 92. 【0058】 Furthermore, a board cushion (not shown) may be wrapped around the base bar 4 of the roof carrier 3. In other words, a board cushion may be placed between the base bar 4 and the surfboard 5. 【0059】 [How to install a surfboard carrier] As shown in Figure 7, the buckle belt 11 is positioned such that the belt portion 12 (connecting pin 16) is located on the outside in the vehicle width direction, and the ratchet 51 is positioned such that the ratchet lever 53 (knob 69) is located on the outside in the vehicle width direction. 【0060】 The widest surfboard to be loaded, surfboard 5, is temporarily placed in position, and the positions of the buckle belt 11 and ratchet 51 are adjusted to match this surfboard 5. At this time, the buckle belt 11 and ratchet 51 are positioned so that a gap (for example, 1 cm to 3 cm) is formed between the buckle belt unit 10 and the surfboard 5, and between the ratchet unit 50 and the surfboard 5. 【0061】 Once the buckle belt 11 and ratchet 51 are in position, the surfboard 5 is lowered, and the bolts 23 on the buckle belt 11 and 60 on the ratchet 51 are tightened using a hex wrench or similar tool to securely fasten the buckle belt 11 and ratchet 51. 【0062】 Next, while pulling the release lever 70 of the ratchet 51 outward in the vehicle width direction, rotate the ratchet lever 53 upward towards the vehicle (see Figure 9). 【0063】 Next, insert the tip of the hooked belt 90 about 10 cm into the belt winding section 66 of the ratchet 51, and while in that state, move the ratchet lever 53 of the ratchet 51 up and down to wind the tip of the hooked belt 90 from the outside to the inside. 【0064】 When winding up the belt portion 92 of the hooked belt 90, the belt portion 92 is wound up in the center of the belt winding portion 66 (shaft portion 71) so that it does not get caught in the gear 77. 【0065】 [How to load a surfboard] Place the surfboard 5 on the base bar 4 and hook the hook 93 of the hook belt 90 onto the buckle 14 of the buckle belt 11. With the surfboard 5 in this position, move the ratchet lever 53 of the ratchet 51 up and down to wind up the belt portion 92 of the hook belt 90 and securely fasten the surfboard 5. The guideline for winding up the belt portion 92 of the hook belt 90 is that there is no slack in the belt (belt portion 12 of the buckle belt 11 and belt portion 92 of the hook belt 90). 【0066】 [How to unload a surfboard] To loosen the belts (belt portion 12 of the buckle belt 11 and belt portion 92 of the hooked belt 90), pull the release lever 70 of the ratchet 51 outward in the vehicle width direction, while rotating the ratchet lever 53 downward towards the underside of the vehicle. With the chock 79 on the outside in the vehicle width direction inserted into the notch 59 provided in the support portion 52 of the ratchet lever 53, pull the belt portion 92 of the hooked belt 90 inward in the vehicle width direction to loosen the belts (belt portion 12 of the buckle belt 11 and belt portion 92 of the hooked belt 90). 【0067】 Detach the hook 93 of the hook belt 90 from the buckle 14 of the buckle belt 11, and lower the surfboard 5 from the base bar 4. 【0068】 If the vehicle is driven without the surfboard 5 loaded on the base bar 4, hook the hook 93 of the hook belt 90 onto the buckle 14 of the buckle belt 11 and tighten the belt until there is no slack. 【0069】 [Effects and Effects] The effects and advantages of this embodiment will be explained below. 【0070】 (1) The surfboard carrier 1 comprises a buckle belt unit 10 having a buckle belt 11 positioned on a base bar 4 that extends in the width direction on the roof 2 of an automobile, a ratchet unit 50 having a ratchet 51 positioned on the base bar 4 at a distance from the buckle belt 11, and a hooked belt 90 having one end engaged with the tip of the buckle belt 11 and the other end engaged with the belt winding portion 66 of the ratchet 51. The buckle belt unit 10 has a detachment restriction member 30 that restricts the attachment and detachment of the buckle belt 11 which is fixed to the base bar 4 using a fixing member (bolt 23). The detachment restriction member 30 has a lower case member 31 that holds the fixing portion 13 of the buckle belt 11, and an upper case member 32 that can be displaced between a detachable position in which the buckle belt 11 can be attached and detached and a detachment restriction position in which the attachment and detachment of the buckle belt 11 is restricted. An insertion hole 43 is formed in the upper case member 32, through which a tool for fastening and unfastening the bolt 23 can be inserted only when the upper case member 32 is in a detachable position. 【0071】 According to this embodiment, the buckle belt unit 10 can be equipped with an anti-theft function to prevent theft, making it possible to provide an automobile surfboard carrier 1 that can prevent the theft of the surfboard 5 and the surfboard carrier itself. As shown in Figure 6, when the upper case member 32 is superimposed on the lower case member 31, the head of the bolt 23 is covered by the upper case member 32, and the attachment and detachment of the buckle belt 11 is restricted (attachment and detachment restricted position). On the other hand, as shown in Figure 5, when the upper case member 32 is slid outward in the vehicle width direction relative to the lower case member 31, the insertion hole 43 of the upper case member 32 is positioned on the vehicle side of the bolt 23, and the attachment and detachment of the buckle belt 11 becomes possible (attachment and detachment possible position). 【0072】 (2) The belt portion 12 of the buckle belt 11 is rotatably connected to the fixing portion 13 of the buckle belt 11 via a connecting pin 16. The fixing portion 13 of the buckle belt 11 and the upper case member 32 have support holes 20 and 40 through which the connecting pin 16 is inserted. The support holes 20 and 40 are provided in both the fixing portion 13 of the buckle belt 11 and the upper case member 32 and consist of first elongated holes 21 and 41 that extend in the vertical direction of the vehicle, and a second elongated hole 42 that is provided only in the upper case member 32 and extends in the vehicle width direction from the lower end of the first elongated hole 21. When the connecting pin 16 moves upward within the first elongated holes 21 and 41, the relative movement of the upper case member 32 with respect to the lower case member 31 is restricted. 【0073】 By configuring the upper case member 32 in this way, the buckle belt unit 10 can be given an anti-theft function to prevent theft. As shown in Figure 6, when the upper case member 32 is superimposed on the lower case member 31, the head of the bolt 23 is covered by the upper case member 32, and the attachment and detachment of the buckle belt 11 is restricted (attachment and detachment restricted position). On the other hand, as shown in Figure 5, when the upper case member 32 is slid outward in the vehicle width direction relative to the lower case member 31, the insertion hole 43 of the upper case member 32 is positioned on the vehicle side of the bolt 23, and the buckle belt 11 can be attached and detached (attachment and detachment possible position). Also, when the surfboard 5 is fixed on the base bar 4, the belt is pulled, the connecting pin 16 moves to the vehicle side, and the upper case member 32 becomes immobile relative to the lower case member 31. 【0074】 (3) The surfboard carrier 1 includes a buckle belt unit 10 having a buckle belt 11 positioned on a base bar 4 that extends in the width direction on the roof 2 of the automobile, a ratchet unit 50 having a ratchet 51 positioned on the base bar 4 at a distance from the buckle belt 11, and a hooked belt 90 having one end engaged with the tip 91 of the buckle belt 11 and the other end engaged with the belt winding portion 66 of the ratchet 51. The ratchet unit 50 has a detachment restriction member 80 that restricts the attachment and detachment of the ratchet 51 which is fixed to the base bar 4 using a fixing member (bolt 60), and the detachment restriction member 80 has a base member 81 that holds the fixing portion 56 of the ratchet 51, and a cover member 82 that can be displaced between a detachable position in which the ratchet 51 can be attached and detached and a detachment restriction position in which the attachment and detachment of the ratchet 51 is restricted. To enable fastening and unfastening of the bolt 60 only when the cover member 82 is in a detachable position, the cover member 82, which covers the bolt 60 in a detachable-restricted position, is rotatably connected to the base member 81. 【0075】 According to this embodiment, the ratchet unit 50 can be equipped with an anti-theft function to prevent theft, making it possible to provide an automotive surfboard carrier 1 that can prevent the theft of the surfboard 5 and the surfboard carrier itself. As shown in Figure 10, when the cover member 82 is superimposed on the base member 81, the heads of the bolts 60 are covered by the cover member 82 from the vehicle side, restricting the attachment and detachment of the ratchet 51 (attachment and detachment restricted position). On the other hand, as shown in Figure 11, when the lock by the locking mechanism 45 is released and the cover member 82 is rotated relative to the base member 81 to open it, the bolts 60 that fix the base member 81 are exposed, and the ratchet 51 can be attached and detached (attachment and detachment possible position). 【0076】 (4) The detachment restriction member 80 further has a locking mechanism 45 that locks the cover member 82 in the detachment restriction position. 【0077】 By configuring the detachment restriction member 80 in this way, the ratchet unit 50 can be given an anti-theft function to prevent theft. Unless the lock mechanism 45 is released, the cover member 82 cannot be rotated relative to the base member 81 to open it, and the bolts 60 that fix the base member 81 cannot be exposed. 【0078】 (5) The ratchet 51 has a ratchet lever 53 that rotates the belt winding part 66 of the ratchet 51 in order to wind up the hooked belt 90. The cover member 82 covers the ratchet lever 53 so that it cannot be operated when it is in the attachment / detachment restricted position. 【0079】 By configuring the cover member 82 in this way, the ratchet unit 50 can be given an anti-theft function to prevent theft. When the cover member 82 is in the removal restriction position, the ratchet lever 53 is covered by the cover member 82 from the upper side of the vehicle, and the ratchet lever 53 cannot be operated. 【0080】 (6) The rotation radius D of the ratchet lever 53 is 90mm to 100mm. 【0081】 According to this embodiment, the rotation radius D (see Figure 9) of the ratchet lever 53 is larger than that of a typical ratchet lever, and the fixing torque is also larger than that of a typical ratchet lever. As a result, the surfboard 5 can be firmly and securely fixed. 【0082】 (7) The operating range R of the ratchet lever 53 is 91° to 110°. 【0083】 According to this embodiment, the operating range R (see Figure 9) of the ratchet lever 53 is made larger than that of a typical ratchet lever, making it possible to easily and quickly retract the belt and secure the surfboard 5. 【0084】 (8) The ratchet 51 has a release lever 70 which is operated to loosen the hooked belt 90. The cover member 82 covers the release lever 70 so that it cannot be operated when it is in the attachment / detachment restricted position. 【0085】 By configuring the cover member 82 in this way, the ratchet unit 50 can be given an anti-theft function to prevent theft. When the cover member 82 is in the removal restriction position, the release lever 70 is covered by the cover member 82 from the top of the vehicle, making it impossible to operate the release lever 70. Furthermore, by operating the release lever 70, it becomes possible to loosen the belt and lower the surfboard 5 from the base bar 4 easily and quickly. 【0086】 By the way, although the automobile surfboard carrier has been described using the above-described embodiment as an example, various other embodiments can be adopted without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the invention is not limited to this embodiment.
