Description
ANCHORAGE DEVICE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention concerns anchoring fittings and more particularly anchorage for the surface of automotive body panels.
It is sometimes necessary to provide a sturdy retention for accessory items used in the interior spaces of automobiles. For example, cargo hold down nets and straps have heretofore been employed in the trunks of sedans and the cargo spaces of station wagons and light trucks.
Such equipment requires a secure attachment such that anchoring to body sheet metal portions is required for adequate strength.
Providing a suitable anchorage at minimum cost while affording adequate strength has presented difficulties, particularly since such equipment is typically offered as an option, and not installed in all of the cars produced of a given model.
One approach has been to secure a hat shaped bracket to the sheet metal, as by screws or welding, and bolting a hook or eye to the bridging portion thereof. This entails a good deal of assembly labor and inventory of several parts. Furthermore the result is a structure which projects sharply into the interior space of the auto.
Such anchorage must be both water and gas tight to prevent the entrance of these fluids into the interior spaces of the auto in which the anchorage is installed. Furthermore, such anchorages should preferably be able to be completely installed entirely from the inside of such spaces to minimize the assembly labor required, or to make installation possible where there is only access to the interior side of the panel.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an anchorage for body panels suitable for automotive installations, which is simple and able to be installed entirely from the inside surface with aminimum of labor, with a resulting completely water and gas tight connection.
It i s a further object to provide an anchorage whi ch is adaptable to optiona l insta l lation, and projects only minima l ly from the inside surfaces.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
These and other objects of the present invention as wil l be understood from a reading of the fo l lowing specif ication and claims are achieved by an anchor base piece having a genera l ly oblong shaped plug portion. The anchor base piece when a ligned is able to be received through a correspondly shaped hole formed in the panel to which the anchorage is secured. The anchor base piece is formed with a f lange portion on the inside end of the p lug portion , adapted to compress an interposed sea l received around the anchor base piece against the inside surface of the pane l . A pair of circumferentia l locking grooves are reces sed into the anchor base piece plug portion adjacent the f lange and of a width able to receive the edge of the panel as the anchor base piece is rotated out of alignment with the oblong hole with the seal compressed beneath the flange portion.
The anchor base piece is formed with an anchoring feature able to be mated with a retention element of the item to be anchored. In a first embodiment, the anchoring feature comprises a keying bore extending into the inside end of the anchor base piece with a slotted entrance to receive a tee shaped retention e lement , and the keying bore having arcuate undercut recesses each receiving an end of the tee shape upon being rotated out of alignment with the slotted entrance.
In other embodiments , a hook is formed on the anchor base piece, comprising the anchoring feature, in one version projectly into the space above the anchor base piece , in another version , entirely recessed within a bore formed in the anchor base piece to maximize the f lush mounting quality thereof.
The present invention has the advantage of being able to be easi ly insta l led from the inside of the vehic le space and produces a water and gas tight sea l . Compri sed of on l y two simple components , the base piece and seal , the cost of providing the anchorage is much less than conventional instal lations and only minimal ly projects into the vehicle interior space.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In the following detailed description, certain specific terminology will be employed for the sake of clarity and a particular embodiment described in accordance with the requirement of 35 USC 112, but it is to be understood that the same is not intended to be limiting and should not be so construed inasmuch as the invention is capable of taking many forms and variations within the scope of the appended claims.
Referring to the drawings, FIGURE 1 illustrates the installation of a cargo net 10 in the interior space 12 of an
automobile trunk utilizing a plurality of anchorages 14. Auto body sheet metal portions 16 define in part the trunk space 12. While two anchorages 14 are shown it should be understood that typically an additional two floor mounted anchorages would also be employed.
The cargo net 10 is of a well known design adapted to restrain stored items such as grocery bags 18, and includes retention elements 20 adapted to be releasably secured to the anchorages 14.
The anchorages 14 are comprised of an anchor base piece 22 having a generally cylindrical but oblong plug portion 22 with flattened sides 24 and a flange portion 28 formed on the inside end thereof. A generally cylindrical but oblong hole 30 is formed into the body metal portion 16 correspondingly shaped to fit the plug portion 24 when oriented to be aligned therewith.
A compressible gasket or seal 32 is interposed beneath the flange portion 28 and the sheet metal body portion 16, compressible upon installation of the anchor base piece 14 to establish a fluid tight seal and to frictionally lock the anchor base piece 14 in the installed position.
The retention element 20 includes a tee shaped locking piece 34 adapted to be secured to a cord loop 36 of the cargo net 10 over a post 38, retained by a cover piece 40.
The anchor base piece 14 is locked to the body panel portion 16 by means of an oppositely located pair of circumferential grooves 42 recessed into the plug portion 24 immediately adjacent the flange portion 28. Grooves 42 spiral from a point of tangency to the flat sides 26 to relieve the main diameter of the plug portion 24. Thus, the anchor base piece 14, after being inserted in a hole 30, and compressing the seal 32 sufficiently to bring the body portion 16 into axial registry with the grooves 42, is rotated 90° clockwise causing the edges 17 of the body portion 16 defining the flats of hole 30 to enter the grooves 42. This produces a locking of the anchor base piece 14 to the body portion 16, the friction generated by compression of the seal 32 serving to retain the same in the rotated locked position. As shown in FIGURE 3, the grooves 42 are of greater width than the thickness of the body panel 16 so that one side of grooves 42 is spaced sufficiently far from the flange portion 28 to accomodate the seal 32 when compressed beneath the flange portion 28.
The anchor base piece 14 is a lso formed with a genera l ly slotted keying bore 44, adapted to receive the tee portion 34 of a retention element 20 with s light radiuses 45 provide to accommodate the ends of tee portion 34.
The keying bore 44 extends axia l ly to terminate at an end top secured to the end of the anchor base piece 24. At the rear of the keying bore 44 , there are a lso provided arcuate recesses 48 configured to receive the ends of the tee portion 34 as it is rotated clockwise after being ful ly inserted in the s lot 44. This enables a readi ly releasible securement of the retention element 20 therein to provide a convenient and secure anchorage for the cargo net 10.
The direction in which recesses 48 extend is the same as grooves 42 so that rotation of the retention element 20 tends to tighten the securement of the anchor base piece 14. A tee shaped too l may be employed as an aid to the origina l assembly of the anchor base piece 14.
The resultant anchorage may be installed at minimum cost by auto manufacturers , the hole 30 formed at a lmost no cost by being punched therein at the time of forming of the body panel portion 16.
The anchor base piece 14 can be insta l led entire ly from inside the body space, a decided advantage if double wal ls make exterior access impossible , and reducing assembly labor in any situation.
The anchorage prevents a substantia l l y f l ush in s ide configuration and may optionally be replaced with a sealing dummy plug (not shown) for autos not to be supplied with the cargo net 10 or other item required to be anchored.
FIGURES 8 and 9 i l lustrate a simpler version of the anchorage according to the present invention, in which a molded hook 50 is provided protruding from the flange 28a of the anchor base piece 14a. The plug portion 24a is of shorter axia l dimension since the bore 44 is not necessary. The hook 50 may be employed to rotate anchor base piece 14 in mounting the same to body portion 16 , with an interposed seal 32a used as before.
In this embodiment the loop 36 may be direct ly passed onto the hook 50 to secure the cargo net 10.
-6-
FIGURE 10 illustrates a recessed version of the embodiment of FIGURES 8 and 9, where a hook 52 is integrally molded in end cap 46a, hook 52 recessed in a bore 54 of anchor base piece 24a.
This restores the low profile of the first embodiment while eliminating the need for a separate retention element.
The anchor base piece 14 is preferably molded of a high strength plastic such as nylon, which also absorbs moisture and expands, to tighten the seal in wet conditions.
