JP2006306354A - Storage method for vehicle sheet ascendable/descendable of roof part - Google Patents

Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate projection of a sheet not only to the outside but also to the inner side of a vehicle in storage of the sheet for covering an opening of the vehicle in which a roof part can be vertically moved and an adult can stand and move when the roof part is ascended. <P>SOLUTION: A sheet storage chamber is provided and a means for partitioning the sheet storage chamber and the inner side of the vehicle with good air-tight property is adopted. Since the sheet storage chamber is disposed outside of the vehicle, intrusion of humidity and odor into a cabin of the vehicle can be certainly prevented when the sheet is wetted by rain or the like. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a sheet storage method for covering an opening when a roof is raised in a vehicle such as an automobile that can move up and down the roof.

Technical background

Conventionally, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a structure in which a roof portion 1 as shown in FIG. 1 is rotated upward via a hinge 2 and a tent is stretched on a vehicle. A mechanism has been proposed in which the tent seat 3 is urged to the inside of the car and folded with a cord 4 such as a rubber so that the seat 4 does not stick out to the outside of the car. Patent Document 2 proposes a configuration in which the roof portion of a car can be moved up and down, the opening is covered with a sheet when the roof portion is raised, and an adult can stand and move inside the vehicle. In the structure, the structure of the type of double roof that stretches the tent on the ceiling of the car, that is, the technical idea that the ceiling is outside the car, so that only the seat does not stick out when the seat is stored No problem at all, but the configuration of Patent Document 2 The sheet when protrudes in the vehicle interior side when the sheet storage, in order to significantly unsightly, there is a desire to not protrude the sheet in the car and outside.

  In the present invention, in the storage of the seat covering the opening of the vehicle that allows the adult to stand and move when the roof is raised, the seat can eat both outside and inside the vehicle. The issue is to prevent it from being released.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a means for storing the seat in the seat storage chamber and partitioning the seat storage chamber and the inside of the vehicle in an airtight manner is employed.

  By providing a seat storage room and airtightly separating the seat storage room and the inside of the vehicle, when the roof is lowered, the seat does not stick to the outside or the inside of the vehicle. Since the seat storage room is handled outside the vehicle, it is possible to reliably prevent moisture and odors from entering the vehicle when the seat gets wet due to rain, etc., and at the same time, the seat can be dried even when the roof is lowered. It is also possible to provide a function, and it has a great effect such that it is easy to maintain indoor comfort equivalent to that of a luxury passenger compartment during normal driving.

  FIG. 2 is a partial side sectional view showing the best embodiment of the structure in the vicinity of the roof in the present invention. In FIG. 2, the roof when the roof 1 is lowered near the upper end of the vehicle body 5. The guide ridge 6 having a triangular cross section that can prevent the intrusion of rainwater or the like on the outside is provided for the purpose of positioning the vehicle, and the resin sheet 3 is in close contact with a predetermined position of the vehicle body 5 and the roof portion 1 by the side. The top end of the upper inner wall 8 that is firmly connected by a combination of screws and adhesive and is fixed to the upper portion of the vehicle body 5 and extends obliquely upward is hermetically sealed to the elastic heat insulator 7 that is closely fixed to the roof portion 1. The sheet storage chamber 9 is formed in close contact with the material and the sheet 3 is stored in the vicinity of the center of the sheet storage chamber 9 so that the sheet 3 does not stick out from the sheet storage chamber. It has a configuration.

  In FIG. 2, the elastic heat insulator 7 is suitably a molded body in which a plastic sheet is closely attached to the surface of a rubber foam such as urethane and is closely fixed to the roof portion 1 with an adhesive or the like. Depending on the type, there is no problem even if an elastic heat insulator is not provided. In this case, it is desirable to employ a means for providing a packing material by fitting an elastic body such as rubber into the upper end of the upper inner wall 8. The sheet 3 can be used as long as it is made of a resin such as a tent material that has been used in the past, and has a good flexibility such as a waterproof cloth, waterproof property, water impermeability, tear strength, durability, etc. Adopting a material that is permanently biased into a bellows shape or the like is desirable because it is gathered small during storage, and the guide protrusion 6 has a triangular cross section as shown in the figure, and the roof portion closes. Time guide While preventing the infiltration of rainwater, although those who provided for easily preventing the protruding of the sheet is desired, may not necessarily be a triangular cross-section, it may be omitted in some cases.

  According to the method of the present invention, in a vehicle in which the roof part can be moved up and down and an adult can stand and move when the roof part is raised, a seat storage room is provided, and the seat storage room and the inside of the vehicle are airtight. By adopting the partitioning means, when the roof is lowered, the seat does not dig out to the outside or inside of the vehicle, and at the same time the seat storage room is handled outside the vehicle, so the seat is rained, etc. Because it is easy to maintain the same environment as a luxury passenger cabin by reliably preventing moisture and odors from entering the interior of the vehicle when it gets wet, and from the advantages such as remarkable comfort improvement by expanding the interior space Industrial applicability is enormous.

It is a perspective view which shows the storage structure of the vehicle seat which can be moved up and down according to the conventional method. It is a sectional side view which shows one Example of the sheet storage structure which concerns on this invention.

Claims (2)

  In a vehicle in which the roof part can be moved up and down and the opening is covered with a seat when the roof part is raised, the roof part 1, the upper part of the vehicle body 5, and the upper inner wall integrally extending upward from the upper part of the vehicle body 5 8, the sheet storage chamber 9 is formed in a state in which the upper end portion of the upper inner wall 8 and the lower side of the roof portion 1 are in good airtightness, and the sheet 3 is stored inside the sheet storage chamber 9. A method of storing a sheet, characterized by adopting a configuration to perform.   The seat storage according to claim 1, wherein a guide ridge 6 having a triangular cross section for the purpose of positioning the roof portion 1 and preventing rainwater ingress is provided at a predetermined position of the upper end of the vehicle body 5. Method.
