Description

The invention relates to a cargo space equipment system for a cargo space of a motor vehicle, in particular for a trunk of a passenger car.

The cargo space of a motor vehicle is used to store objects in it and thus usually to transport them. Typically, the objects stored in a cargo hold are not further secured, since a cargo hold of a commercially available motor vehicle normally does not provide any or only limited possibilities for securing the load. There is thus the risk that the objects stored in the cargo space can move in an uncontrolled manner in the cargo space even during normal driving maneuvers. This can result in damage to objects or parts of the cargo space, for example. A typical solution by vehicle users to counteract the shifting of cargo is to equip the cargo space with boxes or to secure the stored objects with tensioning straps, which are attached to elements of the vehicle interior that are usually not equipped for this purpose.

Another challenge in the design of cargo spaces in motor vehicles is to provide the vehicle user with the largest possible and visually appealing cargo space volume, the flexible use of which is restricted as little as possible by any built-in components.

The DE 10 2016 200 376 A1 shows an arrangement for fixing objects in a passenger car with a trunk wall and a holding element in the form of a bracket, which can be folded in and out, with it being received in a recess in the trunk wall adapted to its contour in the folded position and approximately horizontally in the unfolded position protrudes into the trunk from the trunk wall, and wherein the retaining element is attached to a lateral trunk wall in the interior of the wheel arches and consists only of the retractable and unfolded retaining element in bow form.

The present invention is based on the object of providing a cargo hold equipment system which enables objects to be secured in a cargo hold of a motor vehicle in a simple manner.

The object is achieved according to the invention by a cargo space equipment system according to claim 1 and by a motor vehicle according to claim 10. Advantageous embodiments of the cargo space equipment system are shown in the dependent claims 2-9.

A first aspect of the invention is a cargo space equipment system for a cargo space of a motor vehicle, in particular for a trunk of a passenger vehicle. The loading space equipment system comprises a load securing device for securing objects in a loading space of a motor vehicle. The cargo space equipment system has a delimitation device, in particular in the form of a bracket, for at least partial delimitation of an area above a receiving area. Furthermore, the cargo space equipment system has at least one hinge device to enable a pivoting movement of the delimitation device between a first angular position for the purpose of space-efficient arrangement of the delimitation device in a folded-in state, and a second angular position for the purpose of arranging the delimitation device for securing the load on the receiving surface in an unfolded state.

The limiting device is designed as a bracket, for example, which can assume at least two angular positions. In the first angular position, the bracket is in a state which can be referred to as the folded state. In this state, the delimitation device delimits an area which is oriented essentially parallel to a side wall of the cargo space. This position can also be referred to as the non-use position. In the second angular position, the bracket is in a state which can be referred to as the unfolded state. In this position, the delimitation device delimits an area which is oriented essentially parallel to the cargo space floor. This position can also be referred to as the position of use. In other words, the delimitation device extends into the cargo space in this position. In this position, the delimitation device thus serves to delimit an area above the receiving area of the cargo space.

In principle, it is not ruled out that the limiting device can assume further angular positions between the first and the second angular position.

The area delimited by the delimitation device is preferably essentially rectangular, with other surface shapes such as circle, oval or any polygon not being excluded. In terms of its shape, the delimitation device can in principle be designed in such a way that it opens completely or partially in the unfolded state the receiving surface rests. However, such a configuration is not mandatory.

It is basically possible for the distance between the delimitation device in the unfolded state and the receiving surface to be adjustable, so that the area delimited by the delimiting device can be positioned at different heights parallel to the receiving surface in the unfolded state. This is accompanied by a better adaptation of the load securing device in use to the load to be secured or its shape.

The movement between the folded in and unfolded state takes place by means of a joint device. This enables a rotary movement and thus a pivoting of the limiting device at an angle of preferably at least 85 °.

It is fundamentally possible for the cargo space equipment system to include several delimitation devices. These can, for example, delimit areas of different sizes and be arranged one inside the other in one plane in the folded and / or unfolded state. In other words, in one of the states mentioned, a delimitation device is arranged in the plane of the surface which is delimited by the respectively next larger delimitation device.

Advantageously, at least the delimitation device of the load securing system consists at least in sections of plastic. Alternatively or additionally, an at least partial design made of aluminum is advantageous. Such a design is typically associated with a low weight of the limiting device and cost-effective manufacture.

In particular, the cargo space equipment system is advantageously used to prevent objects in a trunk of a passenger car from slipping on a receiving surface, e.g. B. a loading floor or a loading area to secure during driving maneuvers such as braking, accelerating or cornering. Furthermore, the cargo hold equipment system according to the invention is particularly easy to handle for the user.

In one embodiment, the cargo space equipment system according to the invention is characterized in that it further comprises a cargo space side paneling, the hinge device being mechanically fixed or fixable in relation to the cargo space side paneling.

The hinge device can be mechanically connected directly to the cargo space side paneling, or alternatively the joint device or one or more sections of the joint device can be attached to a body part of a motor vehicle having the cargo space equipment system and penetrate the cargo space side paneling in the direction of the cargo space.

The mechanical fixation can be designed such that the hinge device can be separated in a simple manner from the load compartment side paneling or from the body component. In particular, latching and / or clamping connections as well as commercially available screw connections are possible. Such a design enables retrofitting or removal at the customer's request or for service purposes.

The advantage of this embodiment of the cargo space equipment system according to the invention consists in an arrangement that is particularly space-efficient and leads to the least possible restriction of the possible uses of the cargo space volume.

In one embodiment of the cargo space equipment system, the cargo space side paneling has a recess that is at least partially complementary with regard to the shape and cross section of the delimiting device. In this case, in the folded-in state, the delimitation device is at least partially in the recess.

In particular, if the delimitation device is designed as a bracket, the recess in the loading space side paneling can be designed as a complementarily shaped groove for receiving this bracket, wherein the groove and bracket can be designed in such a way that, in the folded-in state, an essentially flat side wall of the loading space is passed through one side of the bracket is trained. Furthermore, the delimitation device and groove can be designed with a positive fit to one another in such a way that the delimitation device is fixed or fixable by the groove in the folded-in state.

The advantage of this design is the visually appealing design of the interior wall of the cargo space.

In a further embodiment of the cargo space equipment system, the cargo space side paneling forms a cavity. The delimitation device extends essentially in one plane and forms a border in certain areas, and in the folded-in state is arranged in relation to the cavity in such a way that the border of the Limiting device at least partially frames the cavity.

In other words, the delimitation device is advantageously arranged in relation to the cavity in such a way that it at least partially borders or frames it in the folded-in state.

In this case, however, there is no provision for the material forming the cavity to be held by the frame formed by the delimiting device.

For the purposes of the invention, a cavity is a cavity, as typically occurs in various vehicle types in the trunk area above and / or behind the wheel arches. Such a cavity thus forms a partial volume that is partially delimited from the remaining cargo space volume.

The advantage of this design is an optically improved appearance compared to an embodiment without a cavity.

In one embodiment, the cargo space equipment system according to the invention furthermore has a wall element which at least regionally delimits the cavity in relation to a space adjoining the cavity, in particular the cargo space. This wall element is reversibly fastened or fastened in a plane spanned by the delimiting device located in the first angular position, and is located in the fastened state in the spanned plane between sections of the cargo securing device.

The plane spanned between sections of the load securing device is defined between sections of the hinge devices and / or sections of the fastening device.

When aligned as intended, the wall element extends essentially in a plane perpendicular to the receiving surface.

In particular, it can be provided that a holding device for fixing the wall element is formed by the joint device of the load securing device or is encompassed by it. The holding device can be a frame. For reversible fixation, the holding device can comprise, for example, pins, grooves or clips, which make it possible to easily remove the wall element if necessary.

In other words, in this embodiment the load securing system at least partially forms a frame for receiving a wall element.

The wall element can be made entirely or partially from plastic or metal. However, it is entirely possible for the delimitation element to be designed as a network in some areas or to be formed in some areas by another textile material.

In an alternative embodiment, it is provided that the cargo space equipment system furthermore has a wall element with which the cavity faces a space adjoining the cavity, i.e. the rest of the cargo space or part of it, at least in some areas, is delimited or limited, the wall element being exchangeable with at least parts of the load securing device, in particular the delimiting element.

Accordingly, a kit is made available that includes both the wall element and the delimitation element. It is left to the user of the cargo space equipment system according to the invention whether he uses the wall element to delimit the cavity or the pivotable delimitation element instead.

In particular, in this embodiment too, the hinge device of the load securing device can be set up to hold both the wall element and the delimiting element.

The particular advantage of this embodiment is that an at least partially separated or separable space can be formed in the interior of the cargo space, which can be used as an alternative or in addition for the secure storage of objects.

In a further embodiment, the cargo space equipment system comprises a cargo space floor, the hinge device being mechanically fixed to the cargo space floor.

This makes it possible to provide a structural unit of the load compartment equipment system and the load compartment floor.

The loading space floor is designed to enable the joint device to be fixed. For this purpose, the cargo space equipment system according to the invention advantageously comprises a fastening device for mechanical fixing, which can be designed to establish a detachable connection.

This embodiment enables in particular the realization of a load securing, if a direct mechanical connection of a joint device with the Load compartment side paneling or sections of a body component is not possible for reasons of space technology.

This embodiment also offers the user the possibility of choosing between a fixation on the loading space floor and / or the loading space side paneling or adapting this as required.

In a further embodiment, the cargo space equipment system according to the invention has a guide device with which the joint device can be displaced essentially parallel to a plane spanned by the cargo space floor.

In particular, the guide device is set up to enable the articulation device, and thus the entire load securing device, to be displaced in the loading space of a vehicle equipped with the loading space equipment system according to the invention. For this purpose, the guide device is advantageously fixed on the cargo space floor.

The guide device is set up in particular to enable a displacement parallel and / or transversely to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle in the vicinity of the side walls of a loading space by means of a guide rail. A shift to a central area of the hold is not excluded.

The guide device advantageously comprises a fastening device for fastening the load securing device in the desired position in relation to the cargo space floor.

This provides a high degree of flexibility with regard to the positioning of the load securing device of the load space equipment system on the load space floor.

In a further embodiment, the joint device is set up to fix the delimitation device in a reversible manner in the folded-in state and / or in the folded-out state.

This means that in this advantageous embodiment the joint device realizes or forms latching positions at least for the arrangement of the limiting device in the folded-in state and / or in the folded-out state, or also in additional states between the folded-in and unfolded state.

In other words, no further fixing device is absolutely necessary. In particular, no support elements are required to absorb the weight of the limiting device, which support the limiting device, in particular in areas remote from the hinge device, in the unfolded state on the receiving surface. The installation space below the plane in which the delimitation device is arranged in the unfolded state thus remains essentially free.

As an alternative or in addition, however, the delimiting device in the unfolded state can be fixed and / or supported in terms of its position in the first angular position by a support, in particular a support in the area of the cargo space side panel. As an alternative or in addition, the limiting device can be fixable in the folded-in state by a latching element or a movable hook which is arranged on the cargo space side panel.

The advantage of this embodiment is that the delimitation device can be fixed in its respective positions by the joint device itself.

In a further embodiment, the delimitation device can be extended, in particular telescoped, at least in a section along its direction of extension.

This means that in this embodiment at least one section, such as a leg of a delimiting device designed as a bracket, is designed to be variable in length, so that the area delimited by the delimiting device or the space surrounded or can be surrounded by the delimiting device can be set variably . In other words, the scope of the bracket, in particular in the unfolded position, can be adapted to the scope of the object to be secured.

In particular, in the unfolded state, the delimitation device can be extended in sections in the direction of a central region of the interior of the cargo space.

In a special embodiment of the cargo space equipment system according to the invention, the delimitation device comprises at least one section which is designed in the manner of a telescopic rod or a telescopic tube. This section consists of several sub-areas of different diameters, which are arranged to be slidable one inside the other, whereby the section can be lengthened. The length of the section can advantageously be fixed in various extension stages. Particularly advantageously, the section is designed to be continuously extendable.
The particular advantage of this embodiment is the adaptability of the load securing device to objects to be secured.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the delimitation device comprises at least one hook which is designed to hang objects on it at least when the delimitation device is in the folded-in state. Such objects can be bags or bags, for example.

In this case, the hook can form a structural unit with the delimitation device and can thus be firmly positioned on the delimitation device. Alternatively, the hook can, for example, be designed as a separate component and form an opening by means of which it can be movably attached to the delimitation device.

Another aspect of the invention is a motor vehicle, in particular a passenger vehicle, which comprises a cargo space equipment system according to the invention.

The invention is explained below with reference to the exemplary embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.
