Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicular tonneau board device disposed in a luggage room (hereinafter referred to as a luggage room) between a rear seat and a back door of a vehicle.

  FIG. 17 is a perspective view of the hatchback type vehicle 1 with the back door 2 opened from the rear side. In the hatchback type vehicle 1, as a space for storing luggage between the rear seat 3 and the back door 2. A luggage room 4 is set, and a tonneau board device 5 that covers the upper surface opening of the luggage room 4 is provided. As shown in FIG. 18, the tonneau board device 5a is connected to the opening / closing operation of the back door 2 so that the luggage can be easily taken in and out of the luggage room 4. Based on this, it rotates in the direction of the arrow in FIG. For example, a type in which the back door 2 and the rear side of the tonneau board 5a are connected by a connecting member 5c to perform an opening operation has been conventionally known.

  However, in the type in which the tonneau board 5a is opened in connection with the back door 2, since the luggage placed on the tonneau board 5a cannot fully satisfy the protection function of the luggage, such as sliding down when opened, As shown in FIGS. 19 to 21, a sliding tonneau board 6 has been proposed. 19 and 20, the tonneau board 6 is slidably mounted in the upper and middle stages in the space in the luggage room 4. For example, in order to accommodate relatively large loads, an upper tonneau board form 6A in which the tonneau board 6 is set on the upper stage is employed. On the other hand, when a relatively small luggage is accommodated inside and a large luggage is placed on the tonneau board 6, it is preferable to adopt the middle tonneau board form 6B in which the tonneau board 6 is set in the middle stage. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 21, the space in the luggage room 4 can also be divided and used separately like the middle stage tonneau board form 6B and the floor placing form 6C in which the tonneau board 6 is set on the floor surface. As shown in FIGS. 19 to 21, a conventional example in which a space in the luggage room 4 is appropriately partitioned by a sliding tonneau board 6 is described in detail in Patent Document 1.
