Abstract

The present invention is a retaining device, wherein a pedestal part is attached to a vehicle. The retaining part has a turning shaft part and a loading part. A main body turnably supports the turning shaft part. An outward-jutting part is provided on the main body and is designed to be secured to the bottom part of the pedestal part. A locking part is provided on the main body. A part to be locked is locked to the locking part. The locking part and the outward-jutting part are provided so as to sandwich the turning shaft part, and receive the load applied to the loading part.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A retaining device comprising:
a pedestal portion mounted on a vehicle;
a retaining portion comprising a rotating shaft portion and a baggage hanging portion; and
a bearing portion,
wherein the bearing portion comprises:
a main body portion that rotatably supports the rotating shaft portion;
a portion that is disposed on the main body portion, and is fixed to a bottom portion of the pedestal portion; and
a locking portion disposed on the main body portion,

wherein the pedestal portion comprises a locked portion to be engaged with the locking portion,
wherein the locking portion and the portion are disposed to sandwich the rotating shaft portion therebetween, and receive a load applied on the baggage hanging portion, and
wherein the pedestal portion includes an elastic pawl portion that engages with the portion.

2. The retaining device of claim 1 ,
wherein one of the locking portion and the locked portion comprises a concave portion or a through-hole, and the other comprises a convex portion to be engaged with the concave portion or the through-hole.

3. The retaining device of claim 2 ,
wherein the pedestal portion comprises a side wall portion erected from the bottom portion,
wherein the locked portion comprises the concave portion or the through-hole disposed closer to the bottom portion from a center position in a height direction of the side wall portion, and
wherein the locking portion is the convex portion to be inserted into the concave portion or the through-hole.

4. The retaining device of claim 1 , wherein the pedestal portion comprises an elastic pawl portion that is disposed on the bottom portion and that engages an edge of the portion.

5. The retaining device of claim 1 ,
wherein the bottom portion of the pedestal portion comprises a supporting portion that rotatably supports the rotating shaft portion to sandwich the rotating shaft portion with the main body portion,
wherein the rotating shaft portion is asymmetric with respect to a center position in an axial direction of the rotating shaft portion, and
wherein at least one of the main body portion and the supporting portion rotatably supports the asymmetric rotating shaft portion.

6. The retaining device of claim 1 , wherein the portion extends in a radial outer direction of the rotating shaft portion from one end of the main body portion.

7. The retaining device of claim 6 , wherein the portion includes an insertion hole that is fixed to the bottom portion of the pedestal portion.

8. The retaining device of claim 7 , wherein a rivet is inserted into the insertion hole.

9. The retaining device of claim 1 , wherein the locking portion protrudes in a radial outer direction of the rotating shaft portion from the other end of the main body portion, and
wherein the locking portion and the portion are disposed so as to protrude in different directions in the radial outer direction.

10. The retaining device of claim 1 , wherein the locking portion and the portion protrude in parallel in opposite directions while sandwiching the rotating shaft portion therebetween.

11. The retaining device of claim 9 , wherein the locking portion and the portion protrude in parallel in opposite directions while sandwiching the rotating shaft portion therebetween.

12. The retaining device of claim 8 , wherein the rivet receives the load from the portion, and the locked portion receives the load from the locking portion.
