Carrying apparatus and carrying method for automobile dash module

摘要

A carrying apparatus (1) for carrying an automobile dash module (M) to an interior of a vehicle includes a support portion (11), a sliding part (47), and a fixing part (51). The support portion (11) is configured and adapted to carry the dash module (M) into the interior of the vehicle through a door opening (9) of a vehicle body (5). The support portion (11) includes a main frame (23) that extends in a direction that is substantially parallel to a direction of a length of the dash module (M) supported by the support portion (11). The sliding part (47) is slidably coupled to the main frame (23) to slide in the longitudinal direction of the main frame (23). The fixing part (51) is configured and adapted to be fixed to a predetermined portion (53a) of a periphery of the door opening (9). The fixing part (51) is coupled to the sliding part (47) and configured to engage a portion (53a) of the vehicle body (5) so that the main frame (23) and said sliding part (47) can pivot about an axis (57) oriented in a vertical direction relative to the vehicle body (5). With the carrying apparatus (1) of the present invention, it is easy to carry a dash module (M) having various components surrounding a dash (21) into the interior of a vehicle, even after doors (7) are attached to the vehicle body (5).
