lower part and the upper part of the box. This means that the construction becomes complicated and thus expensive to produce.
The publication FR 1,175,000 indicates a box where the volume can be changed and where the lifting mechanism consists of a link system with intersecting link arms.
From the publication WO 92/09454 it is known to provide a platform with an upper part, where the height of the upper part above the platform can be varied. The upper part is kept at a distance fi- from the platform with stays and is held in position with straps. Between the platform and the upper part is arranged an fl exile material that protects the load from weather and wind.
This gives a box that lacks the necessary dimensional stability.
Brief description of the invention.
The object of the invention is to provide a box intended to be attached to a load carrier on a vehicle where the box in a first position, assembled position, has a small volume and thus a low air resistance and in a second position, folded-up position, has a large volume so that larger items can be transported in the box. Because the box in the overall position has low air resistance, the box can remain on the vehicle even during travel when the box is not used. In the folded-up position, the box allows the transport of a bulky load, such as, for example, a pram lower part. To allow the vehicle to be driven when the box is in the raised position, the box must have support legs that keep the top of the box firmly anchored in the bottom of the box, in such a way that the top of the box does not move relative to the bottom of the box during the vehicle's journey. The support legs must also be designed so that the box can absorb the forces that the load in the box produces during, for example, a very strong braking of the vehicle. This is achieved by the support legs on two opposite sides of the box being designed as a unit, for example they are designed as U-shaped elements.
The aim is also to provide a box which is easy to load, even if the load consists of a pram part, this is achieved by the locomotives covering the load openings being designed so that they form a protection, so that damage to the vehicle is avoided when the box is loaded and unloaded. especially with larger objects.
The purpose is also to give the box a low load resistance in the folded position at the same time as the load opening is given the greatest possible height at the folded position, this is achieved by the long sides of the bottom and top of the box having recesses.

Detailed description of preferred embodiments.
Figure 1 shows the box (10) in a collapsed position where a lower part (11) is arranged on two load carriers (12) intended to be fixed to a vehicle, usually over the roof of the vehicle. An upper part (13) rests on the lower part (1 1). The box (10) is locked in the collapsed position with a locking arrangement, for example a zipper (14) which is attached to a first part (15) of flexible material and a second part (16) of flexible material which are fixed to the respective lower part (1 1) and the upper part (13). Figure 2 shows the box (10) in a raised position where an intermediate part (17) of flexible material such as, for example, neoprene rubber, is arranged between the lower part (11) and the upper part (13). On the long sides of the box (10), the sides which are in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, load openings (18, 19) are arranged. The cargo openings are covered by cargo hatches (20, 21) of the same visible material as in the intermediate part (17). The cargo hatches (20, 21) in the closed position are attached to the flexible material of the intermediate part (17) with some suitable fastening element (22) such as a zipper. Zippers have the advantage that the load hatches (20, 21) and the intermediate part (17) are connected so that no openings are formed.
The load openings (18, 19) extend from the edge of the lower part (11) upwards towards the edge of the upper part (13). The cargo hatches (20, 21) are attached to the edges of the lower part (11) and when the cargo hatches (20, 21) are released from the visible material of the intermediate part (17), the cargo hatches (20, 21) can be folded outwards, the cargo hatch hatches (20, 21) covering the part of the vehicle where the load to the box is to be handled. The load hatches (20, 21) will then act as a protection against damage to the vehicle.
The lower part (11) and upper part (13) of the box (10) are made of a relatively dimensionally stable material such as, for example, ABS plastic. In order to keep the lower part (11) and the upper part (13) in a raised position at a predetermined distance from each other and in a fixed position to each other, the box (10) has, for example, four support legs (23) arranged at the corners of the box (10). In order to give the box (10) the required dimensional stability and the possibility of absorbing existing forces, the support legs (23) have been connected to a unit at two opposite sides. The support legs (23) are in a preferred embodiment designed as U-shaped elements (24), where two support legs (23) are connected to an intermediate part (25) so that the support legs (23) form the free ends of the U-shaped element ( 24). The U-shaped elements (24) are preferably arranged at the two sides of the box (10) which are parallel to the direction of travel of the vehicle. The attachment of the support legs (23) requires a certain internal height of the box (10) when the box (10) is in the folded position.
Since the lower part (1 1) and upper part (13) of the box (10) must be dimensionally stable but at the same time as light as possible, the lower part (1 l) and the upper part (13) have been provided with side edges (26). At the two side edges (26) of the box (10) which are facing forwards and backwards, respectively, in the direction of travel of the vehicle, the side edges (26) are designed to give a low air resistance.
The height of the side edges (26) at the forward and rearward sides of the box (10), respectively, has a height which depends on the space required by the support legs (23) at the folded position of the box (10). This height is higher than the height of the side edges required for the lower part (1 1) and the upper part (13) to be extremely stable. In order to avoid that the box (10) in the raised position has an unnecessarily large overall height, the side edges (26) on the sides of the box which are parallel to the direction of travel of the vehicle have been provided with recesses (27).
The design of the side edges (26) at the sides of the box (10) which are parallel to the direction of fall of the vehicle with recesses (27) gives maximum height of the load openings (18, 19) in relation to the total height of the box (10) in the raised position, while maintaining required dimensional stability of the lower part (11) and the upper part (13).
The design and function of the support legs (23) according to a first preferred embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to Figures 3 to 5.
When the box (10) is to be used for transporting larger objects, the upper part (13) is detached from the lower part (1 1) by opening the zippers (14) on both sides of the box (10) which are parallel to the direction of travel of the vehicle, the first part (15 ) attached to the lower part (11) and the second part (16) fixed to the upper part (13) are separated. The upper part (13) of the box (10) is lifted to the raised position shown in Figures 3 and 4, by first lifting one side and then lifting the other side, the support legs (23) occupying a substantially vertical position between the lower part (10) of the box (10). 1 1) and the upper part (13) of the box (10). In the embodiment according to Figures 3 to 5, two support legs (23) are connected by an intermediate part (25) to a U-shaped element (24). The free ends of the U-shaped element (24), in the described embodiment the upper part of the support legs (23), are hingedly attached to the upper part (13) of the box (10) via fastening elements (28) with, for example, pins. The intermediate part (25) of the U-shaped element (24) bears against the bottom surface (29) of the lower part (11) of the box (10), so that substantially vertical support legs (23) are formed. To facilitate the movement of the intermediate parts (25) of the U-shaped elements (24) along the bottom surface (29) during the movement of the upper part between the raised position and the folded position, two slide rails (30) are attached to the bottom surface (29). In the raised position, the U-shaped elements (24) with the support legs (23) are prevented from moving along the bottom surface (29) or the sliding rails (30) by stop elements (31) arranged on the bottom surface (29) or on the sliding rails (30). . The stop elements (31) can be designed as elevations over which the intermediate parts (25) of the U-shaped elements (24) are lifted when the upper part (13) of the box (10) is to be moved between the folded position and the folded-up position, or as spring-loaded elements which can be moved away when the intermediate parts (25) of the U-shaped elements (24) are moved along the bottom surface (29) or on the slide rails (30). Figure 5 shows the box (10) in the collapsed position, where the intermediate shapes (25) of the U-shaped elements (24) are moved along the slide rails (30) towards the center of the box (10). In the folded position, the upper part (13) is locked to the lower part (11) with the previously described zippers (14) or with some other suitable device.
The U-shaped elements (24) forming the support legs (23) may be formed of a suitable profile, for example a hollow profile, such as a tube. The profile can be bent to the U-shape or profile parts can be joined to a mainly U-shaped element.
In the above-described embodiment of the box (10), the upper part (13) is moved between the two positions folded-up position and collapsed position by first moving the U-shaped element (24) on one side of the box (10) along the slide rails (30) and then the second U-shaped element (24) on the other side of the box (10). This means that the person who moves the raised position and the folded position between the two positions between the two positions must move from one side of the vehicle to the other side of the vehicle in order to carry out the method.
Figure 6 schematically shows an embodiment where the upper part (13) of the box (10) can be moved from the folded position to the folded-up position from one side of the vehicle. In the embodiment, the U-shaped elements (24) are connected to a mechanism (32) which in the embodiment shown consists of a tension element such as a wire (33) which runs via a conductor arrangement attached to the lower part (11) of the box (10). When the U-shaped element (24) on one side of the box (10), in Fig. 6 the left U-shaped element (24), is moved from the position the U-shaped element (24) has when the box (10) is in the folded position towards the position of the U-shaped element (24) when the box (10) is in the folded position, the second U-shaped element (24) is pulled to the same position. When the upper part (13) is in the raised position, the U-shaped elements (24) are locked with the stop element (31). The movement of the upper part from the raised position to the folded position can be obtained with a similar device, whereby the movement of the upper part (13) between both the folded position and the raised position as well as the raised position and the folded position can be effected from one side of the vehicle.
With the U-shaped elements (24) arranged at the sides of the box (10) which are parallel to the tar direction of the vehicle, the upper part (13) of the box (10) is locked relative to the lower part (1 1) of the box (10) in the direction of travel of the vehicle. In order to obtain a locking of the upper part (13) of the box (10) relative to the lower part (1 1) of the box (10) in the direction transverse to the direction of travel of the vehicle, the lower part (1 1) of the box (10) and the upper part (13) of the box (10) are provided with stop elements (34) located at the side edges (26) of the box (10) on the side of the support legs (23) facing the outside of the box (10). The support legs (23) are locked between the stop elements (31) in the bottom surface (29) or slide rails (30) of the box (10) and the stop elements (34) at the side edges (26) of the box (10) in the lower part (11) and the upper part (13 ). In a second preferred embodiment, each of the support legs (23) is designed as two link arms, a lower link arm (35) and an upper link arm (36) which are connected to a hinge mechanism (37). The link arms (35, 36) are parts of two U-shaped elements, a lower U-shaped element (38) hingedly attached to the lower part (11) of the box (10) and an upper U-shaped element (39) hingedly attached to the box (10) upper part (13). The U-shaped elements (38, 39) are articulated to the lower part (11) of the box (10) and the upper part (13), respectively, with lower brackets (40) and upper brackets (41), respectively. The fasteners (40, 41) are located on the intermediate parts (42) of the U-shaped elements (38, 39).
The hinge mechanism (37) consists of a shaft (43) which articulated connects two free ends of the two U-shaped elements (38, 39) and a slidable sleeve (44), which is held against a stop (45) on the upper link arm (36) with a spring (46) arranged at the lower link arm (35). When the sleeve (44) is over the shaft (43), the two link arms (35, 36) are firmly connected to each other and the upper part (13) of the box (10) is locked in the folded-up position.
In order to move the upper part (13) of the box (10) to the collapsed position, the sleeve (44) must first be pushed against the spring (46) so that the ends of the U-shaped elements (38, 39) are exposed, the link arms (35) , 36) on the U-shaped elements (38, 39) can be moved towards the center of the box (10). The intermediate parts (42) of the U-shaped elements (38, 39) then rotate in the lower brackets (40) and in the upper brackets (41), respectively. Figure 8 shows the box (10) in the folded position.
In one embodiment, in order to facilitate and simplify the upper part (13) of the box (10) for displacement between the collapsed position and the raised position, a force element (47), such as a spring, can be placed so that the force from the force element (47) helps to move the upper part. (13) from the folded position to the folded position, or the collar element (47) may be positioned so that the force from the collar element (47) helps to move the upper part (13) from the folded position to the folded position. In a special embodiment, the force element (47) can be positioned so that the force from the force element (47) helps to bring the upper part (13) the last stretch to the folded-up position as well as the last stretch to the folded-down position. In the special embodiment, the collar element (47) holds the upper part (13) of the box (10) in the folded position as well as in the folded-up position.
Figure 9 shows an embodiment where the collar element (47) is a spring positioned so that the collar element (47) helps to move the upper part (13) the last stretch to the folded position as well as the last stretch to the folded position. In the present embodiment, the hinge mechanism (37) connecting the lower U-shaped element (38) to the upper U-shaped element (39) has been designed so that the collar element (47) is placed between the lower U-shaped element (38). and a projecting section (48) of a connecting unit (49) attached to the upper U-shaped element (39) with, for example, rivets (50). The movement between the lower U-shaped element (38) and the upper U-shaped element (38) takes place via a shaft (51) placed through the lower U-shaped element (38) and the connection unit (49). The lower U-shaped element (38) has a section (52) behind the shaft (51), where a part of the section (52) acts as a stop when the section (52) abuts against a part of the upper U-shaped element (39) or the connection unit (49) so that the movement between the lower U-shaped element (39) and the upper U-shaped element (39) is prevented, the upper part (13) of the box (10) is kept in the raised position. In the collapsed position, as shown in Figure 10, the force from the force element (47) holds the upper part (13) of the box (10) towards the lower part (11) of the box (10). To operate the support legs on both sides of the box (10) at the same time, the support legs (23) can be connected in a manner similar to that described with reference to ñgur 6.
When the box (10) is loaded, with for example a pram lower part, and the vehicle on which the box (10) is placed brakes sharply or takes a curve at high speed, the box is exposed to forces in the longitudinal direction and transverse direction of the vehicle. With support legs (23) designed as U-shaped elements (24, 38, 39) and placed in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, very good power absorption is obtained in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle of the U-shaped elements (24, 38, 39). In order to obtain good reception even in the transverse direction of the vehicle, stop elements (5 3) can be placed at the side edges (26) of the box (10) in the upper part (13) and lower part (11) of the box (10) so that the U-shaped elements (24, 38, 39) abut against the stop elements (53) when the upper part (13) of the box (10) is in the upright position.
The stop elements (53) are located on the side of the U-shaped elements (24, 38, 39) which is towards the outside of the box (10). To achieve an accurate positioning of the stop elements (53), they can be designed as part of the upper bracket (41) and the lower bracket (40). The stop elements (53) are preferably arranged in the lower part (11) and upper part (13) of the box (10) on both sides of the box (10), but may be arranged only on one side or on the lower part (11) of the box (10) or upper part (13). In the above embodiments, the force element (47) has been described as a spring, but the force element (47) may be a pressure spring or a pressure spring arrangement such as a gas spring, the attachment points of the force element (47) having to be adapted to the changed directions of force.
After the box (10) has been used for transporting larger objects, the box (10) can be folded into the assembled position by moving the U-shaped elements (24, 38, 39) towards the center of the box (10), then if necessary the upper part (13) of the box (10) is locked against the lower part (1 1) of the box (10) with suitable locking elements, for example the zippers (14) at the long sides of the box (10).
The box (10) according to the embodiments described above provides a box where the volume of the box can be increased so that larger objects can be transported. The box (10) has support legs (23) which hold the upper part (13) of the box (10) relative to the lower part (11) of the box (10) in the folded-up position so that the upper part (13) is in a dimensionally stable position relative to the lower part (11). With the U-shaped elements (24, 38, 39) of a hollow profile, a good ratio between weight and strength is obtained, as well as a unit that is very easy to manufacture.
The box (10) has a maximum height of the loading openings (18, 19) relative to the total height of the box (10) in that the side walls (27) of the upper part (13) and lower part (11) of the box (10) have recesses (28).
Damage to the vehicle on which the box (10) has been placed is avoided by folding the cargo hatches (20, 21) covering the cargo openings (18, 19) outwards from the box, whereby the cargo hatches (20, 21) will protect the vehicle from damage during loading and unloading. of larger objects to or from the box. Although the invention has been described with reference to some preferred embodiments, the box can be modified in a number of ways within the scope of the inventive concept as presented in the stated claims. 10 *
