2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a structure of a hanging hand in a vehicle, a flat hanging belt made of cloth, leather, resin, or the like is used, and a loop is formed at an upper end of the hanging belt. While hanging on a suspender support rod (hanger support pipe) suspended horizontally, various annular shaped hooks are connected to the lower end of the suspending belt, and both ends of the suspending belt are polymerized. A structure in which both sides of the part are sandwiched by a seat plate and screwed and fastened with a fastening screw, or both ends of a suspension belt suspended on a suspension support rod are inserted above the handle part instead of the above-mentioned handle part The lower end of the suspension belt is inserted into the groove, and the lower end of the suspension belt is inserted into the insertion groove, and the two are screwed together with screws at the insertion portion, and the screw penetrates the lower end of the suspension belt inserted into the insertion portion. In such a manner, a structure in which the suspension belt is connected to the handle portion is generally used.

[0003] However, each of the above-mentioned constructions of the hanging hand is uneconomical due to excessive quality characteristics because the hanging belt material is superimposed and formed into a double structure, and both ends of the suspended hanging belt are fastened. Auxiliary means such as a seat plate, a fastening screw, a sheath, and the like are required, and complicated work is required for machining, installation, and removal. Therefore, the present inventor has paid attention to the above-mentioned drawbacks, and has previously proposed a connection configuration of the suspension belts in which the suspension belts have a single structure so that they can be easily attached to the suspension support rods. (See Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-75950)

[0004]

However, in each of the above-mentioned conventional hanging hand structures, since a hanging belt made of cloth, leather, or resin is used for the hanging belt, these hanging belts are cut off. Problems such as damage have arisen, and it has become necessary to deal with the problems. The use of metal or a strength member having the same effect as the material of the sling has been considered.

The present invention responds to these recent trends, and in particular, provides a novel structure for connecting a hanging member by using a strength member such as metal as a material of the hanging member, and provides a cutting structure for cutting the hanging member. An object of the present invention is to prevent damage due to breakage, to simplify attachment and detachment of the hanging member, and to enhance safety in the vehicle.

[0006]

That is, in order to achieve the above object, the present invention connects the upper end of a hanging member having a hanging portion attached to the lower end thereof to a hanging hand supporting pipe suspended in a vehicle. In the connecting structure of the hanging member in the vehicle, the mounting groove of the hanging member is formed along the longitudinal direction on the lower peripheral surface of the hanging support pipe, and the hanging member is made of metal or the same material. It is constituted by a flexible member, and the upper end of the hanging member is inserted through a through-hole provided in the peripheral surface of a small pipe member of a small diameter which can be inserted into and removed from the hanging supporting pipe, and is passed through the short pipe member. While holding and holding, a hook portion is attached to the lower end, and the short pipe material is inserted into the hanging support pipe with the hanging member extending from the hanging member mounting groove on the lower surface, and Hold the short pipe material at the position and support the hanging member by the hanging hand It was ligated to the type.

The most common flexible member made of metal or a material having the same effect is a flexible member having a stranded wire of a metal wire as a core material and covered with a spiral pipe made of metal such as stainless steel.

The present invention is also characterized by a connecting method for forming the above-mentioned connecting structure, wherein a hanging member supporting pipe laid in a vehicle is formed of a flexible member made of metal or the same material. In connecting the upper end of the hanging member with the hanging portion attached to the lower end, a mounting groove for the hanging member is formed along the longitudinal direction on the lower peripheral surface of the hanging support pipe, while the upper end of the hanging member is Inside the short pipe material of a small diameter that can be inserted into and detached from the hanging hand support pipe, is inserted through a through hole provided on the peripheral surface, is locked and held, and a hand hook is attached to the lower end, and the short pipe material is removed. It is characterized in that the hanging member is slid from the side and inserted into the hanging supporting pipe while extending from the hanging member mounting groove on the lower surface, and is connected to the short pipe at a predetermined position.

[0009]

According to the connecting structure of the present invention, since the hanging member is made of metal or a material having the same strength, it has strength unlike a conventional flat hanging belt made of cloth, leather or resin. It is not easily cut and has excellent durability, and the upper end of the hanging member is fastened to this using a short pipe material, and the short pipe material is inserted into the hanging support pipe. Since the position of the hanging member is determined and held, the mounting operation is very simple.
