Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a cargo box device for a vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a small van type vehicle, a cargo box 7 is provided on a floor 6 between a rear seat 1 and a back door 5 as shown in FIG. I am getting it. The cargo box 7 is fixed to the floor surface 6, and the board lid 8 has a carpet 9 as an outer skin adhered to the upper surface thereof, and a terminal 9 a thereof.
Are fixed to the skin 3 of the rear seat back 2. Stoppers 10 are provided on the left and right sides on the back surface of the front end 8a of the board lid 8.
Are fixed to the inner surface of the opening end of the front wall of the cargo box 7 to prevent the board cover 8 from shifting to the front side, and to function as a rotating shaft when the cover is opened.

In order to put small articles in and out of the cargo box 7, the user opens the back door 5 and lifts the rear end 8b of the board lid 8 upward with one hand as shown by the two-dot chain line to open it. .

[0004]

However, in the above structure, when the user takes things in and out of the cargo box 7 from the back door 5 side, the board cover 8 must be held with one hand.
Must be supported in the open position. For this reason, there is a problem that the board lid 8 cannot be opened in a hands-free state and the usability is poor.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a cargo box device capable of allowing a lid member to be self-standing in an open state when an object is taken in and out of a cargo box.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, if the other end is lifted when opening the lid member of the cargo box, the one end becomes a fulcrum and the lid is opened while rotating. The vicinity thereof is kept open by the holding means formed on one side of the opening of the cargo box, and becomes self-supporting.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be illustratively described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cargo box of a cargo box device as an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG.
FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the cargo box of FIG. 1.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 4, the cargo box 20 comprises a front edge 21 a of an open end 21 a of a front wall 21.
b extends slightly obliquely forward and downward, and the tip 21c is substantially L
A groove 22 is formed by bending upward in a letter shape.
The groove 22 has a length and a groove width in which a front end portion 30a of a board cover 30 as a cover member described later is fitted over the entire width. A plurality of, for example, four slit-shaped holes 22a as holding means are provided at appropriate intervals at the bottom of the groove 22. The opening end 21a of the front wall portion 21 is provided with concave portions 21d on the left and right sides.

The rear end 23b of the open end 23a of the rear wall 23
Is formed so as to be approximately as thick as the board lid 30 to form a ridge, and a recess 23c is provided substantially at the center. Side walls 2
4, 25 open ends 24a, 25a side ends 24b, 25
b is also formed to be approximately as thick as the board lid 30. The open ends 23a, 24a, and 25a are the open ends 2 of the front wall 21.
1a, the board lid 30 is placed horizontally, and displacement in the rear and left and right directions is prevented. The rear edge 23d of the rear wall 23 is formed in a shape corresponding to the shape of the floor of the vehicle to be mounted. A fixing portion 26 for fixing the screw to the floor surface is provided on the bottom portion 26.
a is provided. This cargo box 20 is integrally formed of a synthetic resin member.

As shown in FIG. 3, the board lid 30 has an opening edge 21a, 23a, 24
The front end portion 30a is integrally formed with a convex portion 30b as a holding means that fits into each of the slit-shaped holes 22a of the groove 22. The protrusion length of the protrusion 30b is set to such a degree as to slightly protrude from the hole 22a. This board cover 30 is formed of a synthetic resin member. Stoppers 31, 31 are fixed to the front edge of the back surface of the board lid 30 at positions corresponding to the concave portions 21d formed on the left and right of the opening end 21a of the front wall 21 of the cargo box 20. The stopper 31 has a substantially inverted L-shape as shown in FIG.
, And the lower end of the vertical portion can be locked to the lower edge of the opening of the recess 21 d of the front wall portion 21. The width of the stopper 31 is slightly smaller than the width of the concave portion 21d.
It is possible to move within d with a slight gap.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, a handle 34 is provided at the rear end 30c of the board lid 30 at a position corresponding to the recess 23c provided at the rear end 23b of the rear wall 23 of the cargo box 20. Fixed. A carpet 35 is stuck on the upper surface (front surface) of the board 30. The carpet 35 is stuck from the rear end of the board lid 30 to a position indicated by a dotted line in FIG. Carpet 35
The front end 35a extends forward and is fixed to the skin of the rear seat back, and the rear end and both sides are the cargo box 20.
The rear end 23a and both ends 24b and 25b can be covered.

The cargo box 20 is disposed on the floor between the rear seat back and the back door of the vehicle and fixed with screws in the same manner as in FIG. 11 described above, the board lid 30 is placed thereon, and the front end 35 a Are fixed to the skin of the rear seat back.

The operation of opening the board lid of the cargo box device will be described below.

When the user opens the board cover 30 with the board cover 30 placed as shown in FIG. 4, a fingertip is placed between the handle 34 at the rear end and the recess 23c shown in FIG. And lift it up as indicated by the arrow. The board lid 30 is prevented from being displaced forward by the left and right stoppers 31, and the front end 30 a rotates about the opening end 21 a of the front wall 21 as a rotation fulcrum with the opening operation shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG.
Each projection 30b fits into each corresponding hole 22a. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG.
The board cover 30 enters the recess 21d of FIG. Thereby, the opening operation of the board lid 30 becomes smooth.

The front end 30a of the board lid 30 fits into the groove 22 and the protruding part 30b of the front end fits into the hole 22a, so that the board lid 30 is free standing as shown in FIGS. Will be maintained. The opening angle of the board cover 30 at this time is an angle corresponding to the inclination angle of the front edge 21b of the front wall 21.
Further, by forming a plurality of holes 22a of the groove 22 at appropriate intervals, the strength of the groove 22 can be ensured. Further, the length of the protruding portion 30b of the board lid 30 is
By setting the length to slightly protrude from “a”, it can be removed from the groove 22 when hit by hand due to an erroneous operation or the like, thereby preventing breakage or the like.

When closing the board lid 30, the user disengages the projection 30b from the hole 22a of the groove 22 while slightly pulling the rear end portion 30c forward to release the engagement. Place on.

As means for holding the board lid 30 in the cargo box 20, in addition to the hole 22a provided in the groove 22 of the cargo box and the projection 30b of the board lid 30, for example, the tip of the groove 22 is simply narrowed. And the tip 30 of the board lid 30
A configuration may be made so that the board lid 30 does not fall over the “a”.

[0019]

According to the present invention, the lid member can be kept open in the open state when an object is put in or taken out of the cargo box, and the usability is greatly improved. Moreover, the opening and closing operation of the lid member is extremely simple and easy. Further, an increase in cost can be suppressed without increasing the number of parts.
