Abstract

A mount is slid with respect to a base to build an assembly, the base including an upper surface fixed to a vehicle, a lower surface facing a direction opposite to that of the upper surface, a first lateral surface located between the lower surface and the upper surface, and a second lateral surface located between the lower surface and the upper surface and located opposite to the first lateral surface. The mount includes a bottom surface facing the lower surface, a first lateral wall joined to the bottom surface and facing the first lateral surface, and a second lateral wall joined to the bottom surface and facing the second lateral surface. A thickness of the first lateral wall in a direction from the first lateral wall to the second lateral wall is smaller in a first lower portion than in a first upper portion.

Claims (45)

1. A vehicle-mounted accessory device comprising:

a mount that is slid with respect to a base to build an assembly, the base including an upper surface fixed to a vehicle, a lower surface facing a direction opposite to that of the upper surface, a first lateral surface located between the lower surface and the upper surface, and a second lateral surface located between the lower surface and the upper surface and located opposite to the first lateral surface;

a stay that is joined to the mount; and

an accessory that is supported by the stay, wherein

the mount includes a bottom surface facing the lower surface, a first lateral wall joined to the bottom surface and facing the first lateral surface, and a second lateral wall joined to the bottom surface and facing the second lateral surface,

the mount surrounds the first lateral surface, the second lateral surface, and the lower surface when the mount is fitted to the base,

a thickness of the first lateral wall in a direction from the first lateral wall to the second lateral wall is smaller in a first lower portion than in a first upper portion, and

the first lower portion is closer to the bottom surface than the first upper portion.

2. The vehicle-mounted accessory device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first lateral surface is inclined to be distanced from the second lateral surface in a direction from the upper surface toward the lower surface, and

the first lateral wall is inclined to conform to an inclination of the first lateral surface.

3. The vehicle-mounted accessory device according to claim 1 , wherein

a thickness of the second lateral wall in a direction from the first lateral wall to the second lateral wall is smaller in a second lower portion than in a second upper portion, and

the second lower portion is closer to the bottom surface than the second upper portion.

4. The vehicle-mounted accessory device according to claim 2 , wherein

a thickness of the second lateral wall in a direction from the first lateral wall to the second lateral wall is smaller in a second lower portion than in a second upper portion, and

the second lower portion is closer to the bottom surface than the second upper portion.

5. The vehicle-mounted accessory device according to claim 3 , wherein

the second lateral surface is inclined to be distanced from the first lateral surface in a direction from the upper surface toward the lower surface, and

the second lateral wall is inclined to conform to an inclination of the second lateral surface.

6. The vehicle-mounted accessory device according to claim 4 , wherein

the second lateral surface is inclined to be distanced from the first lateral surface in a direction from the upper surface toward the lower surface, and

the second lateral wall is inclined to conform to an inclination of the second lateral surface.

7. The vehicle-mounted accessory device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first lateral wall includes a first portion and a second portion equally distanced from the bottom surface, and the thickness of the first lateral wall in the direction from the first lateral wall to the second lateral wall is smaller in the first portion than in the second portion.

8. The vehicle-mounted accessory device according to claim 2 , wherein

the first lateral wall includes a first portion and a second portion equally distanced from the bottom surface, and the thickness of the first lateral wall in the direction from the first lateral wall to the second lateral wall is smaller in the first portion than in the second portion.

9. The vehicle-mounted accessory device according to claim 3 , wherein

the first lateral wall includes a first portion and a second portion equally distanced from the bottom surface, and the thickness of the first lateral wall in the direction from the first lateral wall to the second lateral wall is smaller in the first portion than in the second portion.

10. The vehicle-mounted accessory device according to claim 4 , wherein

the first lateral wall includes a first portion and a second portion equally distanced from the bottom surface, and the thickness of the first lateral wall in the direction from the first lateral wall to the second lateral wall is smaller in the first portion than in the second portion.

11. The vehicle-mounted accessory device according to claim 5 , wherein

the first lateral wall includes a first portion and a second portion equally distanced from the bottom surface, and the thickness of the first lateral wall in the direction from the first lateral wall to the second lateral wall is smaller in the first portion than in the second portion.

12. The vehicle-mounted accessory device according to claim 6 , wherein

the first lateral wall includes a first portion and a second portion equally distanced from the bottom surface, and the thickness of the first lateral wall in the direction from the first lateral wall to the second lateral wall is smaller in the first portion than in the second portion.

13. The vehicle-mounted accessory device according to claim 1 , wherein

the second lateral wall includes a third portion and a fourth portion equally distanced from the bottom surface, and a thickness of the second lateral wall in the direction from the first lateral wall to the second lateral wall is smaller in the third portion than in the fourth portion.

14. The vehicle-mounted accessory device according to claim 1 , wherein

the mount and the stay are formed as one piece.

15. The vehicle-mounted accessory device according to claim 1 , wherein

the mount is a rigid body.
