Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a roof storage structure for an open car, particularly a roof storage structure that covers the roof part and a storage part that is stored in a storage part behind the seat to open the roof part. The present invention relates to a storage structure for a roof member rotatably supported in a state.

(Prior Art) In recent years, roof members that form the roof part of a vehicle body so that the roof part of the vehicle body can be opened and closed according to the wishes of the occupants have been developed.
2. Description of the Related Art Open-top automobiles are known that are rotatably supported in a stored state in which the vehicle is stored in the rear part of the vehicle body and in an installed state in which the roof portion is covered.

For example, in Utility Model Application Publication No. 62-103621,
The canopy (roof member) is rotatably supported in two states: an installed state that covers the roof, and a stored state that is folded and stored at the rear of the vehicle body. A convertible car is disclosed in which the roof portion can be opened and closed depending on the needs of the user.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) By the way, in the convertible car in which the roof member is rotatable between the installed state and the retracted state as described above, it is possible to rotate the roof member from the state stored in the storage part. When the roof part is covered and installed, a relatively large opening recess is formed by the storage part of the roof member formed at the rear of the vehicle body on the interior side of the vehicle, for example, behind the seat, resulting in an unsightly appearance. was supposed to significantly reduce the Therefore, it is conceivable to provide a package tray that covers the upper surface of the storage part when the roof member is in the installed state. In this case, when the roof member in the installed state is rotated to the storage part, the storage part The roof member interfered with the package tray covering the top surface, making it impossible to store the roof member smoothly.

How to deal with this: 1. It is conceivable to provide a package tray that covers the upper surface of the storage part integrally on the roof member side so that the package tray can be rotated together with the roof member and stored in the storage part. , a driving motor etc. for rotating the roof member between the installed state and the stored state is provided, and therefore, when the roof member is stored in the storage section, the roof member is integrally mounted on the roof member side. Interference between the provided package tray and the drive motor etc. has been a problem.

The present invention addresses the above-mentioned problems, and therefore provides an oven car in which the roof member is rotatably supported between an attached state in which the roof member covers the roof part and a state in which the roof member is stored in the storage part to open the roof part. In this case, even if a package tray is provided that covers the upper surface of the storage part when the roof member is in the installed state, the roof member and the package tray do not interfere when the roof part is rotated to the storage part. ,
An object of the present invention is to provide a roof storage structure that can smoothly store a roof member.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is characterized by the following configuration.

That is, in the roof storage structure of an oven car, in which the roof member is rotatably supported between an attached state in which the roof member covers the roof part and a stored state in which the roof member is stored in a storage part behind the seat to open the roof part, the roof member is rotatably supported. A package tray is provided that closes the upper surface of the storage portion behind the seat when the member is attached, and that moves to a position that does not interfere with the roof member or the driving means for rotating the roof member when the roof member is rotated to the stored state. It is characterized by:

(Function) According to the above configuration, when the roof member is rotated from the installed state to the storage state where it is stored in the storage section behind the seat, the package tray that closes the top surface of the storage section is rotated between the roof member or the storage section. Since the roof member is moved to a position where it does not interfere with the driving means that rotates the roof member, interference between the roof member stored in the storage portion and the package tray is avoided. Thereby, even if a package tray is provided that closes the upper surface of the storage section when the roof member is installed, the roof member can be smoothly stored in the storage section from the installed state.
