Abstract

A hood device is provided with a frame-shape base member and a hook member. The hook member is provided with a rotation unit, a hooking unit, a first engaging unit which engages with the peripheral wall of the base member when the hooking portion is used, and a second engaging unit which engages with the peripheral wall of the base member when the hooking unit is stored. Both lateral edges of the peripheral wall of the base member are provided with a rotation support unit, a first rotation limiting unit against which the first engaging unit abuts, a second rotation limiting unit against which the second engaging unit abuts, a first holding unit into which the first engaging unit is detachably fitted, and a second holding unit into which the second engaging unit is detachably fitted.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A hook device, including:
a base member that has a frame shape and that is mounted on a mounting hole of a mounted member via a mounting structure; and
a hook member rotatably mounted on the base member,
wherein the base member includes:
a flange portion arranged to engage a peripheral edge on a front side of the mounting hole of the mounted member; and
a peripheral wall protruding from a back face of the flange portion so as to conform to an inner periphery of the mounting hole,

wherein the hook member includes:
a rotating portion rotatably supported by the base member;
a hanging portion consecutively connected with the rotating portion and arranged to project and retract from an opening on a front face of the base member in accordance with a rotation of the rotating portion;
a first engagement portion arranged to be engaged to the peripheral wall when the hanging portion projects from the opening on the front face of the base member; and
a second engagement portion arranged to be engaged to the peripheral wall when the hanging portion retracts into a back face side of the base member,

wherein the peripheral wall includes, on its both side portions,
a rotation supporting portion arranged to rotatably support the rotating portion of the hook member;
a first rotation limiting portion with which the first engagement portion are brought into contact;
a second rotation limiting portion with which the second engagement portion are brought into contact;
a first holding portion to which the first engagement portion attachably/detachably fit when the first engagement portion are brought into contact with the first rotation limiting portion; and
a second holding portion to which the second engagement portion attachably/detachably fit when the second engagement portion are brought into contact with the second rotation limiting portion,

wherein the rotation supporting portion of the base member includes hole portions on the peripheral wall, and
wherein the hole portions have an odd-shaped hole shape such that a front face on a side of the flange portion has an arc shape, and a pair of opposed side faces having a tapered shape each extending toward a back face of each of the hole portions.

2. The hook device of claim 1 , wherein the base member includes a through hole inside the peripheral wall, the through hole passing through from a front face side to the back face side, and
wherein, in a state where the hook member rotates to project to a maximum extent toward the back face side of the base member, a height of the peripheral wall that protrudes toward the back face side is lower than the hook member.

3. The hook device of claim 1 , wherein the first rotation limiting portion and the second rotation limiting portion are disposed on an end face on a back face side of the peripheral wall.

4. The hook device of claim 3 , wherein the peripheral wall includes protruding wall portions, which protrude higher toward the back face side of the peripheral wall, on the both side portions of the peripheral wall,
wherein the first rotation limiting portion and the second rotation limiting portion are disposed on an end face of the peripheral wall that is adjacent to the protruding wall portions,
wherein the first engagement portion or the second engagement portion has a protruding shape, and
wherein the first holding portion or the second holding portion includes holding protrusions disposed at corresponding end portions of the protruding wall portions so as to sandwich a respective engagement portion with the end face of the peripheral wall when the first engagement portion or the second engagement portion is engaged to a corresponding one of the first rotation limiting portion and the second rotation limiting portion.

5. The hook device of claim 4 , wherein the first holding portion and the second holding portion include:
elastic wall portions provided with elasticity by through holes provided to the protruding wall portions; and
the holding protrusions that are provided to the elastic wall portions.

6. The hook device of claim 1 , wherein the rotation supporting portion of the base member is disposed biased closer to one of end portions of the side portions of the peripheral wall than centers of opposed both side portions of the peripheral wall,
wherein the first rotation limiting portion that the first engagement portion engage is disposed is located close to another one of end portions of the peripheral wall,
wherein the second rotation limiting portion that the second engagement portion engage is disposed is located close to the one of end portions with respect to the rotation supporting portion, and
wherein the first engagement portion has a shape longer as compared with the second engagement portion, and is arranged to engage along the both side portions.

7. The hook device of claim 1 , wherein the rotation supporting portion includes a pair of supporting portions located on opposing walls of the peripheral wall.

8. The hook device of claim 1 , wherein the rotation supporting portion includes a pair of supporting portions that face each other.

9. The hook device of claim 1 , wherein the rotation supporting portion includes a pair of supporting portions located on opposing sides of the opening of the base member.

10. The hook device of claim 1 , wherein the rotation supporting portion of the base member is disposed biased closer to one of end portions of the side portions of the peripheral wall than centers of opposed both side portions of the peripheral wall.

11. The hook device of claim 10 , wherein the first rotation limiting portion that the first engagement portion engages is disposed close to another one of end portions of the peripheral wall.

12. The hook device of claim 11 , wherein the second rotation limiting portion that the second engagement portion engages is disposed close to the one of end portions with respect to the rotation supporting portion.

13. The hook device of claim 11 , wherein the first engagement portion has a shape longer as compared with the second engagement portion, and is arranged to engage along the both side portions.

14. The hook device of claim 10 , wherein the second rotation limiting portion that the second engagement portion engages is disposed close to the one of end portions with respect to the rotation supporting portion.

15. A hook device, including:
a base member that has a frame shape and that is mounted on a mounting hole of a mounted member via a mounting structure; and
a hook member rotatably mounted on the base member,
wherein the base member includes:
a flange portion arranged to engage a peripheral edge on a front side of the mounting hole of the mounted member; and
a peripheral wall protruding from a back face of the flange portion so as to conform to an inner periphery of the mounting hole,

wherein the hook member includes:
a rotating portion rotatably supported by the base member;
a hanging portion consecutively connected with the rotating portion and arranged to project and retract from an opening on a front face of the base member in accordance with a rotation of the rotating portion;
a first engagement portion arranged to be engaged to the peripheral wall when the hanging portion projects from the opening on the front face of the base member; and
a second engagement portion arranged to be engaged to the peripheral wall when the hanging portion retracts into a back face side of the base member,

wherein the peripheral wall includes, on its both side portions,
a rotation supporting portion arranged
