JP 2015-93537 A

  When laying the luggage mat as described above in a luggage compartment of a vehicle, an operator grips the luggage mat on the vehicle rear side and inserts the luggage mat into the luggage compartment. Therefore, since the luggage mat provided with the integral hinge as described above is formed of a relatively soft material, when performing the laying operation, a portion on the front side of the integral hinge is a portion on the rear side. Hangs down. In such a state, the worker has to enter the luggage compartment and re-lay, and there is a problem that the laying work is troublesome. In particular, the problem becomes greater as the luggage compartment becomes longer in the vehicle front-rear direction or as the entrance of the luggage compartment becomes narrower (such as a sedan-type vehicle). In order to cope with the problem, for example, a part for preventing the front part from sagging (for example, a bracket projecting forward beyond the integral hinge from the rear part) on the rear surface, or a front part There is a luggage mat provided with a spring or the like that urges the portion upward from the rear portion. However, providing such components has a problem that the cost increases and that a space for accommodating the components needs to be formed in a luggage compartment of a vehicle.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and provides a luggage mat which can be prevented from hanging down without using extra parts and can be easily laid in a luggage compartment of a vehicle. As an issue.

In order to solve the above problems, the luggage mat of the present invention is:
A luggage mat laid in a luggage compartment of a vehicle,
It is long in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle,
The vehicle is characterized in that it has an integral hinge extending in the vehicle width direction at a portion on the vehicle front side on its back surface, and a groove extending crossing the integral hinge.

  With the luggage mat having this configuration, when the operator grips both ends of the luggage mat in the vehicle width direction on the rear side of the vehicle and applies a force to warp the luggage mat in the vehicle width direction (a force that brings both ends closer to each other), Bending will occur along the groove. Then, by being bent along a groove extending in a direction intersecting with the integral hinge, it is possible to prevent the integral hinge from being bent, that is, from hanging down. More specifically, in a state in which the portion on the front side of the integral hinge is warped upward from the portion on the rear side, a force is applied to the luggage mat such that both ends in the vehicle width direction approach each other on the lower side (both ends). Is applied to the luggage mat in such a manner that the center of the vehicle in the vehicle width direction projects upward, and is bent along the groove, so that the front side warps upward. It is possible to maintain the state. In other words, luggage mats with this configuration can be inserted into the luggage compartment when the luggage mat is laid in the luggage compartment of the vehicle, with the front part of the integral hinge not hanging down. Can be easily performed. The shape, depth, direction of extension and the like of the groove are not particularly limited, and it is preferable that the groove is arranged so as to be easily bent.

  In the above configuration, the groove may be configured to extend in a direction orthogonal to the integral hinge.

  In the luggage mat of this configuration, the extending direction of the groove is limited, and the groove is formed so as to be orthogonal to the integral hinge. According to the luggage mat of this configuration, the bending of the integral hinge can be reliably prevented by the bending along the groove.

  Further, in the above configuration, the groove may be formed on a straight line passing through the center of the luggage mat at the rear end of the vehicle in the vehicle width direction.

  In the luggage mat of this configuration, the direction in which the groove extends is limited, and the groove is formed on the radiation centered on the center in the vehicle width direction at the rear end of the vehicle. When the worker grips both ends of the luggage mat on the rear side of the vehicle and applies the above-described force, the amount of deformation is smaller toward the front of the vehicle, and the luggage mat has a vehicle width dimension in plan view that is smaller than the vehicle width. The front side is deformed so as to have a larger shape. That is, the groove extending on the radiation centering on the center of the rear end of the vehicle in the vehicle width direction extends in the direction along the shape of the deformed luggage mat. Therefore, in the luggage mat having this configuration, when the vehicle is laid in the luggage compartment of the vehicle, the luggage mat is easily bent along the groove by the force applied by the operator, and the laying operation can be further facilitated.

In the above configuration,
A portion on the vehicle front side from the integral hinge is a seat covering portion that covers a lower rear portion of a seat of the vehicle,
The seat covering portion may be divided in the vehicle width direction, and a portion on one end side in the vehicle width direction may be shorter than a portion on the other end side.

  In a rear seat of a vehicle, when the seat back is divided into two parts in the vehicle width direction and one part in the vehicle width direction is integrally formed with an intermediate part in the vehicle width direction, the seat back may be 6 : 4 in some cases. The luggage mat of this configuration is configured to cover such a gap between the divided seat back and the luggage compartment and to be able to cope with the inclination of each seat back. In the luggage mat having such a configuration, since the sheet covering portion is divided and shortened, drooping of the sheet covering portion in the integral hinge becomes conspicuous. That is, the sheet covering portion having a shorter dimension in the vehicle width direction is particularly liable to sag. Therefore, in the luggage mat having this configuration, the groove having the above configuration according to the present invention is particularly effective.

  In the above configuration, a second integral hinge extending in a vehicle width direction may be further provided on a vehicle rear side of the first integral hinge that is the integral hinge.

  For example, a luggage compartment of a vehicle may have a step at a portion on the front side of the vehicle or may have a shape inclined with respect to a portion on the rear side. In such a case, if a plurality of integral hinges are provided on the luggage mat, the portion of the luggage mat that is on the front side of the first integral hinge drastically sags. Therefore, in the luggage mat having this configuration, the groove having the above configuration according to the present invention is particularly effective. Note that the luggage mat of this configuration may be formed so that the groove intersects the second integral hinge.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a luggage mat which can be prevented from hanging down without using extra parts and can be easily laid in a luggage compartment of a vehicle.

  Hereinafter, some embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings as embodiments for carrying out the present invention. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the following examples, and can be implemented in various modes with various changes and improvements based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art.

  FIG. 1 shows a vehicle 11 provided with a luggage mat 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The vehicle 11 is a so-called sedan type vehicle, and has a luggage room (luggage room) RR formed rearward of the rear seat 12 substantially independently of the vehicle compartment. Further, the vehicle 11 is provided with a luggage door (trunk lid) 15 provided at the rear of the rear window 13 so as to be openable and closable with respect to the vehicle body 14. By opening the luggage door 15, the vehicle 11 The luggage in the luggage room RR can be taken in and out of the luggage compartment RR through the luggage compartment opening 14a. The luggage door 15 is swingably supported by the pair of hinge arms 16 with respect to the vehicle body 14. The luggage door 15 is flipped up to the position shown in FIG. Can be opened, in other words, the luggage room RR can be opened. As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle 11 does not have a configuration in which the entire rear portion (including the rear window) of the vehicle is opened and closed, unlike a hatchback type vehicle. 14a is relatively small.

  Next, the interior of the luggage room RR will be described with reference to FIG. Inside the vehicle body 14, a floor panel 20 forming a floor surface of the luggage room RR, and a pair of side panels 21 arranged on both sides in the vehicle width direction of the floor panel 20 to form side walls of the luggage room RR (FIG. 2, the left one is not shown). Then, the floor panel 20, the pair of side panels 21, the rear seat 12 (specifically, the seat back 12a of the rear seat 12), the luggage door 15, and a partition plate (not shown) extending horizontally from the rear surface of the rear seat 12, for example. , A luggage room RR independent of the cabin is formed. The luggage mat 10 of the present embodiment is laid on the floor panel 20 of the luggage room RR. Note that the luggage room RR is independent of the vehicle compartment and does not require aesthetics or decorativeness. Therefore, the side panel 21 has a bulging portion that swells in the luggage room RR along the wheel house or the side members. It has a portion 21a and has a relatively complicated shape. A groove 22 extending with a substantially constant width in the vehicle front-rear direction is formed by the floor panel 20 and the side panel 21 inside the bulging portion 21a, and the luggage mat 10 enters the groove 22. Laid in state.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the luggage mat 10 of the present embodiment has a linear shape in which both side ends 30 in the vehicle width direction extend in the vehicle front-rear direction so as to enter the groove 22, (Which may be referred to as the front-rear direction). However, in a portion on the front side of the vehicle, notches 31 are formed on both sides in the vehicle width direction (may be referred to as a left-right direction). As shown in FIG. 2, the luggage mat 10 includes a mat body 32 that covers the floor panel 20 at a rear portion, and a cross member that is located on the front side of the mat body 32 and forms the vehicle body 14. (Dashed line in FIG. 2) A cross member covering portion 33 that covers 14b, and a sheet covering portion 34 that is located in front of the cross member covering portion 33 and covers a lower rear portion of the rear seat 12 (a gap between the rear seat 12 and the vehicle body 14). And Incidentally, the notch 31 fits into the gusset covering portion 21a1 that covers the gusset connecting the cross member 14b of the vehicle body 14 and the side member (not shown) in the bulging portion 21a of the side panel 21. .

  The mat body 32, the cross member covering portion 33 and the sheet covering portion 34 are divided by two integral hinges 40 and 41 shown in FIG. 3, and the luggage mat 10 is divided into the integral hinges 40 and 41. Along 41, it is possible to bend. As shown in FIG. 3, these integral hinges 40 and 41 are provided on the back surface of the luggage mat 10. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the luggage mat 10 includes a base material 10a made of rubber or resin and a skin material 10b attached to the surface of the base material 10a. , A thin-walled portion formed on the base material 10a.

  Of the two integral hinges 40 and 41, the first integral hinge 40 located on the front side divides the cross member covering portion 33 and the sheet covering portion 34 and is formed over the left and right cutouts 31. Have been. The first integral hinge 40 causes the sheet covering portion 34 to warp upward with respect to the cross member covering portion 33 and lean on the rear surface of the rear seat 12. In the rear seat 12, the seat back 12a is divided into two parts in the vehicle width direction, and one side (right side) in the vehicle width direction is integrated with an intermediate part in the vehicle width direction. 12a is configured to be divided into 6: 4 in the vehicle width direction. The right seat back 12aR and the left seat back 12aL are configured so that the inclination angle with respect to a seat cushion (not shown) can be adjusted independently. In accordance with such a rear seat 12, the luggage mat 10 of the present luggage mat 10 is also divided into a right-side sheet covering portion 34R and a right-side sheet covering portion 34L. , And the left seat covering portion 34L follows the inclination of the left seat back 12aL.

  The second integral hinge 41 located on the rear side divides the mat body 32 and the cross member cover 33, and is formed over the left and right side ends 30. As described above, the cross member 14b of the vehicle body 14 exists in the luggage room RR, and the cross member 14b is higher than the height of the floor panel 20. Therefore, the luggage mat 10 is laid by the second integral hinge 41 in a state where the cross member covering portion 33 is inclined with respect to the mat body portion 32.

  It is assumed that the luggage mat 10 is laid in the luggage room RR. An operator or the like grasps both ends in the vehicle width direction on the rear side of the luggage mat 10, and inserts the luggage mat 10 from the luggage compartment opening 14a which is an entrance of the luggage room RR. If the luggage mat 10 is simply grasped, the two integral hinges 40 and 41 bend under their own weight as shown by broken lines in FIG. 5, and the front side portions, that is, the cross member covering portion 33 and the sheet covering portion 34 hangs down from the mat body 32. In particular, since the left sheet covering portion 34L has a small width, the left sheet covering portion 34L is particularly likely to hang down as compared with the right sheet covering portion 34R and the cross member covering portion 33. If the front side hangs down when the luggage mat 10 is inserted in such a manner, the worker must sneak into the luggage room RR to perform an operation of raising the front side portion of the luggage mat 10. However, the installation work takes time. Particularly, in the vehicle 11 on which the luggage mat 10 is laid, as described above, since the luggage compartment opening 14a serving as the entrance of the luggage room RR is relatively narrow, the operation of sinking into the luggage room RR is particularly troublesome. Work.

  Therefore, the luggage mat 10 has a configuration capable of preventing the sag as described above. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the luggage mat 10 of the present embodiment has two grooves 50R and 50L orthogonal to the first integral hinge 40 on the back surface. More specifically, the one groove 50R is provided corresponding to the right sheet covering portion 34R, and extends from the front-rear center of the right sheet covering portion 34R to the front-rear center of the cross member covering portion 33. The other groove 50L is provided corresponding to the left sheet covering portion 34L, and extends from the longitudinal center of the left sheet covering portion 34L to the longitudinal center of the cross member covering portion 33. Incidentally, the shapes of the grooves 50R and 50L are the same as the shapes of the integral hinges 40 and 41 in the present embodiment, but are not limited thereto.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the luggage mat 10 of the present embodiment formed as described above allows the operator to grip both ends of the luggage mat 10 in the vehicle width direction on the rear side and to attach the luggage mat 10 to the luggage mat 10 in the vehicle width direction. (A force that causes each of the two ends to approach the lower inside, a force that causes the two to be rounded, and a force in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 4) causes bending along the grooves 50R and 50L. By bending along the grooves 50R and 50L extending in a direction intersecting with the first integral hinge 40, the first integral hinge 40 is bent, that is, the sheet covering portion 34 hangs down. Can be prevented. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, in a state where the sheet covering portion 34 is warped upward from the cross member covering portion 33, the above-described force is applied to the luggage mat 10 to apply the force to the grooves 50 </ b> R and 50 </ b> L. By folding along, the sheet covering portion 34 can be maintained in a state of being warped upward. That is, when the luggage mat 10 of the present embodiment is laid in the luggage room RR, the luggage mat 10 can be inserted into the luggage room RR while maintaining the state in which the sheet covering portion 34 and the cross member covering portion 33 do not hang down. Therefore, the work of laying in the luggage room RR can be easily performed.

  Further, in the luggage mat 10 of the present embodiment, since the grooves 50R, 50L extend in a direction perpendicular to the first integral hinge 40, the luggage mat 10 is bent along the grooves 50R, 50L, so that 1 Integral hinge 40 can be reliably prevented from being bent. The grooves 50R and 50L have their rear ends at the center in the front-rear direction of the cross member covering portion 33, but may be formed so as to extend across the second integral hinge 41 as well. In addition to the grooves 50R and 50L, a groove that intersects only the second integral hinge 41 can be provided.

  FIG. 6 shows a luggage mat 80 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Since the luggage mat 80 of the second embodiment has substantially the same configuration as the luggage mat 10 of the first embodiment, the description of the same components as those of the luggage mat 10 of the first embodiment is omitted, and the same. Signs will be used.

  The luggage mat 80 of the second embodiment is laid on the vehicle 11 on which the luggage mat 10 of the first embodiment is laid, and has the same basic shape. That is, similarly to the luggage mat 10 of the first embodiment, the luggage mat 80 of the second embodiment also includes the mat body 32, the cross member covering portion 33, and the sheet covering portion. Further, the sheet covering portion 34 is also divided into a right sheet covering portion 34R and a left sheet covering portion 34L. The boundaries between the mat body 32, the cross member covering portion 33, and the sheet covering portion 34 are two integral hinges 40, 41.

  The luggage mat 80 of the second embodiment differs from the luggage mat 10 of the first embodiment in the direction in which the grooves 81R and 81L provided to cross the first integral hinge 40 extend. In the luggage mat 80 of the second embodiment, the grooves 81R and 81L extend not in a direction perpendicular to the first integral hinge 40 but in an inclined direction, as shown in FIG. More specifically, the grooves 81R and 81L are formed on a straight line passing through a point M at the rear end of the luggage mat 80 in the center in the vehicle width direction, in other words, on a radiation centered on the point M.

  When inserting the luggage mat 80 into the luggage room RR, an operator grips both ends in the vehicle width direction on the rear side of the luggage mat 80 and applies a force to bring each of the two ends closer to the lower inside. The deformation amount of the luggage mat 80 is smaller toward the front side. When the above-described force is applied to the luggage mat 80, the size in the vehicle width direction becomes larger toward the front of the vehicle in plan view. That is, the grooves 81R and 81L formed in the luggage mat 80 of the second embodiment extend in a direction along the deformed shape. Therefore, when the above-described force is applied when the luggage mat 80 is inserted, the luggage mat is easily bent along the grooves 81R and 81L, and can be bent with a smaller force than the luggage mat 10 of the first embodiment. By deforming 80, it is possible to maintain a state in which the sheet covering portion 34 and the cross member covering portion 33 do not hang down. According to the luggage mat 80 of the second embodiment, the work of laying in the luggage room RR can be performed more easily.
