Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the falling and scattering of cargo from a load-carrying platform of a travelling open-top truck on a road, to prevent the cargo on the platform from being stolen during parking, to protect the cargo, to prevent accidents on highways frequently occurring in recent years. <P>SOLUTION: The whole undercarriage is covered with a vertical and integral type load-carrying platform cover. This allows a physically vulnerable person such as a aged person or a woman to easily cover the load-carrying platform of the truck. In a situation that the truck has to be suddenly stopped and covered because of natural disasters, etc., it is possible to work safely and quickly, thus contributing to accident prevention. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a cover for a lidless truck.

Conventionally, the cover cover of an uncovered truck is covered entirely with truck seats, etc., after arrival at the destination, the sheets are removed and the loading and unloading work is carried out. After the work is completed, the sheets are folded and packed, and the irregularly stained sheets are washed. Only it was practical enough.

  However, the sheet hanging work is a heavy work especially for women, elderly people, etc., and there is a drawback that the load is polluted due to a troubled work by one person and work in a natural disaster such as sudden rain.

In addition, in the case of unfamiliar work, the seat is detached during traveling, and the load is scattered on the road due to damage.
As a result, there were problems such as causing damage to the following vehicles and passers-by and causing a serious accident.

As an improvement measure, a lightweight cover with a hollow integrated structure is attached to the vehicle body to solve all of the above problems, and the cover has an integrated structure and rectifies the turbulence generated in the loading platform during traveling. It can also contribute to fuel saving.

The problem to be solved is that, in light trucks, it is almost always parked and running without a cover on the uncovered cargo platform, which is why the cargo is stolen, scattered on the road, and sudden natural disasters. This means that the driver cannot be released from difficult work at night, especially during cold weather. It is also very useful for preventing accidents on highways, which are frequently occurring in recent years.

  The main feature of the present invention is to provide a method by which anyone can solve the above-described problems by attaching a cover that covers the entire cargo bed manufactured separately to the vehicle body.

  The feature of the present invention is that the operation of the apparatus can be completed in a short time by a simple operation by anyone including physically weak persons such as women and the elderly, and the function of the apparatus can be surely exhibited.

The equipment consists of a cargo bed cover front 1 and a cargo bed cover rear 2 and these are fixed to the lifting device 3 and are attached to the truck chassis. The installed state is as shown in FIG. Refer to Fig. 2, which uses a lifting device 3 according to the shape and load, and the cover can be moved up and down at regular intervals. The space with the chassis when raised is housed inside as shown in the sectional view of Fig. 2 By covering the side cover, it is possible to protect the load and prevent the load from being scattered on the road surface.
By attaching the vehicle width adjustment piece Fig. 4 to the cover for the difference in the dimensions of the chassis due to the difference in manufacturer, etc., it was possible to attach it to all car models. In addition, for the convenience of the driver, the structure is such that only the loading platform cover rear portion 2 can be opened and closed for frequent loading and unloading.

  FIG. 1 is an overall view of an embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a view in which the entire apparatus is moved upward by an up-and-down apparatus, and FIG. FIG. 4, which shows a state in which only the rear part is opened, has a structure that can cope with the difference between manufacturers by attaching an attachment to the cover.

  The main body of the present invention is an up-and-down mechanism for flexibly responding to the shape and quantity of the load. The rack gear and pinion gear combination and other bevel gear combination devices can be moved up and down by rotating a detachable handle. It is characterized by that.

  In the embodiment of FIG. 2, the cover is lifted using the vertical mechanism, but this operation is not affected by the operator's experience using the vertical mechanism, and anyone can easily carry the load. Since the entire cover can be moved up and down in a short time depending on the state, it is very useful for protecting the load and preventing theft of the load while parked, for example, when the shape of the load changes.

  In addition, since the cover is directly attached to the vehicle body, complicated operations such as storing and cleaning the cover can be omitted, and the cover has a super-weather-resistant gel coat on the surface, so that it is resistant to touch and choking. In addition, it keeps performance beyond general painting, and cleaning when it gets dirty is a very easy task.

  The embodiment shown in FIG. 3 is a structure that can open and close about 1/2 of the rear part of the carrier cover in case that it is necessary to frequently open and close the carrier cover for business use. It is characterized by a structure in which the bracket can be removed and only the rear cover can be easily opened.

  In the embodiment of FIG. 4, even if the size and shape are different due to different manufacturers, the cover can be easily attached by attaching a dedicated attachment to the cover.

It is the side and sectional view showing the state where the cover was attached to the chassis. (Example 1) It is the side surface and sectional view showing the state where the cover was raised. (Example 2) It is the side view which showed the implementation method of opening of a cover rear part. (Example 3) It is sectional drawing which showed the implementation method of the attachment by a maker difference. (Example 4)

Claims (3)

  Covering the entire loading platform with a cover, which makes it possible to scatter cargo on a running road, prevent theft of parked cargo, and protect cargo from natural disasters such as sudden rain. Lightweight carrier cover for uncovered trucks with The lightweight cover with a hollow structure allows the cover of the cargo bed to be deformed by the air resistance generated at the cargo bed during high speed running, and the surplus resistance generated by this is made constant and rectified, fuel consumption, and the vehicle running due to gusts Lightweight carrier cover, characterized by preventing instability. The cover is also equipped with a vertical mechanism that can move up and down at regular intervals, and it can respond to changes in the shape and amount of the stack, and it is characterized by its structure that all work can be done even by physically vulnerable people Cargo cover.
