Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a catch for an engine service hole cover of an automobile.

Prior Art Engine service hole covers for automobiles, etc., where the engine is located under the driver's seat, have a hinge-shaped rear end, but the front end has a hook shape and is hung with a bar on the cover. . However, in the conventional catch, once the bar is hooked onto the hook, the catch arm is fixed, which may create a gap between the bar and the hook, which may cause some inconvenience.

Purpose of the invention The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and provide a catch that can reliably restrain the engine service hole cover.

Structure of the invention That is, the catch of the engine service hole cover of the invention includes a first catch arm rotatably supported by a support member on the catch base, and a shaft rotatably fitted to the front part of the first catch arm. The second catch arm is supported by a second catch arm and has a protrusion for locking to the catch base, and the first catch arm is rotatably pivoted at the lower center of the first catch arm, and includes a hook latching bar, The base of the catch arm and the first catch arm are connected by a spring.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Embodiment FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an embodiment of the catch of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partially sectional side view, in which 1 is a catch base, 2 is an engine room bulkhead, 3 is a first catch arm, and 4 is a partially sectional side view. indicates the second catch arm. The first catch arm 3 is rotatably supported at its rear by support members 5, 5 fixed on the catch base 2. The first catch arm 3 and the second catch arm 4 are each made of an iron plate, and the rear end portion of the second catch arm 4 is fitted inside the first catch arm 3 and pivotally supported by a stop pin 6. On the lower surface of the second catch arm 4 is a lock 7 having a locking pawl at the lower end.
is attached, and this lock 7 is connected to a notch 8 that penetrates the catch base 1 and the engine compartment 2.
It can be locked to the engine room partition wall 2 by inserting it into the engine room partition wall 2. A spring 9 is provided at the base of the lock 7 to connect the first catch arm 3 and always pulls the lock 7 toward the first catch arm 3. Therefore, when the lock 7 is inserted into the notch 8, It is made so that it does not come off easily. Note that 10 indicates a square ring-shaped latching bar, one end of which is rotatably supported on the first catch arm 3.
When the engine is moved, the shaft support moves back and forth between the support members 5, 5 in accordance with the movement, and the other end is hooked to the hook 12 of the engine service hole cover 11, so that it can be used during engine service. First, when the second catch arm 4 is lifted, the lock 7 is disengaged from the notch 8, and when the second catch arm 4 is further turned upward, the first catch arm 3 is rotated, and thereby the support member 5 is removed as shown in FIG.
The fulcrum 10a of the bar 10 located on the left side of the bar 10 is lifted and moved to the right side of the support member 5, whereby the entire bar 10 is advanced to the right and can be removed from the hook 12.

Function In the catch of the present invention, the rear part of the first catch arm 3 is pivotally supported by the support member 5, and the second
Although the front part of the catch arm 4 is locked to the engine compartment partition wall 2 via the lock 7, it can move up and down at the joint between the two parts. Therefore, for some reason, bar 10 and hook 12
Even if there is a gap between the engine service hole cover 11 and the engine service hole cover 11, the tensile force of the spring 9 acts on the fulcrum 10a in the direction of the arrow to immediately eliminate the gap by pulling the bar 10.
can prevent upset.

Effects of the invention As mentioned above, the catch of the present invention is secured to the engine room bulkhead by a lock, and the first
The catch arm and the second catch arm are combined and can move independently, and have a spring mechanism to strengthen the locking force.
Since the bar position is automatically adjusted, it will not come off due to vibration. Furthermore, the structure is simple and can be provided at low cost.
