Description

DESCRIPTION

RETRACTABLE MODULE FOR ROOFS WITH A LOADING SYSTEM

VEHICLE FOOT

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

This utility model, as expressed in the statement of this descriptive memory, refers to a retractable module for roofs with a loading system at the foot of the vehicle that provides, to the function for which it is intended, advantages and characteristics, which are described in detail later.

The object of the present invention falls on a loading structure for vehicles, without having to rise to deposit said load, which we will call a vertical load lifting system.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Currently, the load is deposited on a structure enabled on the roof of a vehicle, known as a "roof rack". The load must be carried out by raising said object to the roof of the vehicle, where said structure is located, with the person having to access the roof or be raised by the necessary means that allow it to be able to fix the load to said structure.

This invention is characterized by moving the structure to an optimal height, to deposit the load comfortably and safely, and then raising it to the base structure, without the need to rise to access the roof of the vehicle.

In addition, it eliminates the danger of getting up to carry the load and fixing it to the structure (roof rack) and makes it easier to deposit and fix the load comfortably.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

This utility model provides a loading module, the purpose of which is to be able to load at the foot of the vehicle, and subsequently raise the load to the base structure fixed to the roof of the vehicle, by means of some supports or fixing terminals.

For this, the module includes: a base structure anchored by fixing elements to the vehicle and swing structures arranged on the sides of the base structure.

The swing structures are articulated by means of pivot axes and are actuated by means of lifting elements, which can be mechanical or manual. When activated by the lifting elements, each swing structure pivots on the base structure.

In addition, the module includes a useful movement transmission element to activate the deployment of a third structure that is fixed to the previous one, that is, to the swing, by means of a useful sliding element as an extensible or telescopic guide allowing movement. displacement of this third structure.

This third structure is actuated and retained by means of said useful movement transmission element, which can be mechanical or manual, and which allows the structure to be limited or raised to the desired place for loading or unloading and its return to where the swing structure is located. .

Said third structure is vertically slidable and has fixed, by means of another pivot axis, a fourth structure that pivots on it and, later, is retained by a stop system to limit and fix its rotation, leaving this fourth structure parallel to the ground, to facilitate your load.

This fourth structure facilitates the support of the contributed load, which is anchored by means of gripping and mooring elements to the aforementioned structures. previously.

Once the load or loads have been fixed by the user, from the ground he activates the movement transmission element that raises the load, taking it to the upper part of the vehicle, where the swing structure is located, leaving the sliding system folded with structures and cargo on top of the vehicle.

Activating the lifting element again, the load is deposited on the upper part of the vehicle, leaving the swing structures parallel to the roof of the vehicle and returning to the initial state of configuration of the system, with the load on the structure located on the roof of the vehicle.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, this specification is attached, as an integral part of it, some drawings in which, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, the following has been represented:

Figures 1 and 2.- Show respective perspective views of an example of the retractable module for roofs with a loading system at the foot of the vehicle of the invention, represented in both cases with one of the loading structures located at the foot of the ground, with the system deployed to facilitate loading, and the other load structure already located on the roof of the vehicle to be able to circulate, including a different type of load in each figure;

Figure number 3.- Shows a perspective view of the example of the module of the invention shown in Figures 1 and 2, in this case represented in a folded position and partially exploded, appreciating the different elements and structures it comprises; and

Figure number 4.- Shows an elevation view of the example of the module of the invention shown in Figure 3, in this case represented in position displayed for use, but not including the vehicle.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the aforementioned figures, and in accordance with the numbering adopted, an example of a non-limiting embodiment of the retractable module for roofs with a vehicle foot loading system of the invention can be seen, which comprises what is described in detail below.

Thus, as can be seen in said figures, the module of the invention is a retractable loading module to make it easier for the user to load any element from the ground. To this end, it is configured from structures that essentially comprise: a base structure (1) that is anchored by fixing elements (3) to the vehicle; swing structures (2) which, arranged on the sides of the base structure (1), are actuated by a lifting system (6); a system of extensible guides (8) actuated by a movement transmission element (10) and load structures (7) (11) with the ability to move, thus facilitating access to load the structure located on the roof of the vehicle, without having to climb or rise, to load and tie the loads (15).

The swing structures (2) are articulated by means of pivot axes (5) and are actuated by means of lifting elements (6), which can be mechanical or manual, pivoting on the base structure (1) and have a third structure ( 7) fixed to each of said swing structures (2).

Said third structure (7), in turn, is structured to be able to unfold and slide vertically by means of a useful sliding element of the extensible or telescopic guide system (8) and to be actuated and retained by means of the useful transmission element of movement (10) that allows limiting or raising said third structure (7) to the desired place for its loading or unloading and its return where the swing structure (2) is located.

In addition, this third structure (7) has a fourth structure (11) fixed.

In turn, the fourth structure (11) is structured to be able to pivot on the third structure (7) through another pivot axis (12) and be retained by a system of stops (13), facilitating the support of the load (15). ) that is anchored by means of gripping and mooring elements (14).

The stop system (13) is configured to limit and fix the rotation of the fourth structure (11) to be parallel to the ground.

For their part, the gripping and mooring elements (14) are configured to tie the load (15) to both the third (7) and the fourth structure (11).

The movement transmission tool (10), which can also be mechanical or manual, is configured to raise the load to the top of the vehicle.

The extensible or telescopic guide system (8), together with the movement transmission device or tool (10), is configured to raise the load and remain retracted with the structures (2), (7), (11) and the load (15) on top of the vehicle.

Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to make its explanation more extensive so that any expert in the field understands its scope and the advantages derived from it.
