Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention can shield a luggage placed on a floor in front of a seat from being seen from the outside of the vehicle, and scatter the luggage during traveling. The present invention relates to a tonneau cover device for an automobile seat that can also prevent the vehicle from being damaged. 2. Description of the Related Art Recently, with the diversification of leisure activities such as outdoor sports and the like, wagons have been extended from a conventional sedan type to a longer cabin and a rear portion of a seat used as a luggage compartment. Types of things have come to be preferred. In such a wagon type, the inside of the luggage compartment is generally exposed from the outside of the vehicle, so that it is usually shielded with a tonneau cover. However, since it is troublesome to store luggage in the luggage compartment for a little shopping, there are many cases where luggage is placed on the seat cushion of the front seat on the passenger side or on the feet in front of the seat. In this case, the package is exposed from the outside through the window,
There is a problem in that the user often encounters a luggage accident while parked and stopped. In addition, since the luggage is not restrained at all and is in a free state, there is a problem that the luggage rolls or is scattered when a sudden brake is applied, which is dangerous. Further, there is a problem that large luggage cannot be placed in the space only on the seat cushion and the foot in front of the seat. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems and can shield the luggage placed on the floor in front of the seat from the outside of the vehicle. It has been completed with the object of providing a tonneau cover device for an automobile seat that can prevent luggage from being scattered during traveling and can reliably deliver large luggage in a shielded state. is there. [0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a tonneau cover device for an automobile seat according to the present invention is provided with a retractor for winding and storing a tonneau cover at a front end of a seat cushion. With the cushion flipped up to the seatback side, pull out the tonneau cover to the front side, and lock the tip of the tonneau cover with a hook provided on the instrument panel to form a luggage storage area shielded by the tonneau cover in front of the seat. It is characterized by doing so. Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawing, reference numeral 1 denotes a seat including a seat cushion 1a and a seat back 1b, and the seat cushion 1a is configured to rotate around a hinge (not shown) at a rear end and to jump up to the seat back 1b. It has become. Further, a retractor 2 for winding and storing the tonneau cover 3 is attached to the front end of the seat cushion 1a. In the present invention, the seat cushion 1a
The tonneau cover 3 is pulled out to the front side in a state where the tonneau cover 3 is flipped up to the seat back 1b side, and the front end of the tonneau cover 3 is engaged with the hook 11 provided on the instrument panel 10 and is shielded forward by the tonneau cover 3. It is configured to form a luggage storage space 5. [0008] The tonneau cover 3 is similar to a general one used for shielding a luggage compartment of a conventional wagon type or the like. The tonneau cover 3 is pulled out by pulling a guide bar 3a attached to a tip thereof. To offer.
In the present invention, both ends of the guide bar 3a are pulled toward the instrument panel 10 opposed to the seat 1,
The tonneau cover 3 is stretched at a relatively high position in front of the seat by engaging with the hooks 11 provided on the instrument panel 10 to form a large luggage storage space 5 shielded by the tonneau cover 3. ing. In such a configuration, the seat 1 is normally used by a seated person. However, when it is desired to use the seat 1 as a luggage storage space, as shown in FIG. By jumping up to the side 1b to secure a wide space in front of the seat, the load P is loaded in this state. In this case, since the baggage P is loaded in a wide space, excellent workability can be exhibited. Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the tonneau cover 3 is pulled out from the retractor 2 to the front side, and the leading end of the tonneau cover 3 is engaged with the hook 11 provided on the instrument panel 10. It is completely shielded and can be effectively protected from theft, and since the tonneau cover 3 prevents the luggage P from jumping even during traveling, it is extremely safe without rolling. Furthermore, since the tonneau cover 3 is stretched at a high position connecting the uppermost portion of the seat cushion 1a in an upright position and the instrument panel 10, tall luggage can be stored in the luggage storage 5, thereby exhibiting excellent usability. You can do it. As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, the luggage placed on the floor in front of the seat can be shielded so that the luggage cannot be seen from the outside of the vehicle, and the luggage is scattered during traveling. Can be prevented, and large-sized luggage can be securely stored in a shielded state. Therefore, the present invention greatly contributes to industrial development as a tonneau cover device for an automobile seat that has eliminated the conventional problems.
