Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to an installation structure of a retractable tonneau cover device used for covering a luggage or the like stored in a luggage space in a hatchback type vehicle.

(Prior Art) A flexible cover for covering the luggage space from above, and a flexible cover for covering the luggage and the like stored in the luggage space of a hatchback type vehicle so that the luggage and the like are not visible from the outside. 2. Description of the Related Art A wind-up tonneau cover device including a wind-up unit that winds up so that it can be steered is known.

As shown in FIG. 5, the conventional installation structure of such a winding type tonneau cover device is such that the winding portion b of the winding type tonneau cover device which winds up the flexible cover a so as to be steerable is in the upright state of the rear sheet c. The take-up portion b is detachably attached to the left and right side walls f of the luggage space e at both ends thereof so as to be located along the upper rear surface of a certain seat back d, and when the seat back d is in an upright state. The flexible cover a is pulled out, the tip end g is hooked on the hook i of the back door h, and the luggage space e is covered.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the above-described conventional example, the winding portion of the winding type tonneau cover device can be arranged only in the vicinity of the upper rear surface of the seat back in the upright state. When the luggage space is widened, there is a problem that it is difficult to stretch the flexible cover so as to cover the entire luggage space.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, the present inventors mounted the take-up portion b on the upper rear surface of the seat back d, and extended the flexible cover a in the luggage space e where the seat back d was tilted forward. Was considered to be stretched from the front side of the floor to the back door h.
When the front cover is moved forward, the position of the winding section b is lowered to near the floor surface j of the luggage space e, and the flexible cover a
Is obliquely stretched, which causes a problem that the luggage space e is narrowed in the vertical direction.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problem by taking up the flexible cover so that the winding portion of the wind-up tonneau cover device can be moved forward. At the required position of the back door, a locking portion capable of locking the front end of the flexible cover is provided, and substantially shaped frames are pivotally supported at both lower ends on both lower sides of the seat back. When the seat back is in the forward position, the frame body is rotatable up and down between a storage position overlapping the back portion of the seat back and an upright position slightly inclined rearward, and is positioned at each of the positions. The flexible body is configured to be supported by the frame so as to be bent upward at the upright position.

The above-mentioned substantially shaped frame body has a rotating arm portion on both left and right sides,
A support arm portion is provided between the arm portions, and the shape of the frame is determined according to the shape of the support arm portion. For example, in the case of a straight line, the frame has a shape, but when it is bent upward, It becomes a shape, and when it curves upward, it becomes a shape.

(Function) By mounting the retractable tonneau cover device on the upper back of the seat back of the rear seat that can be tilted forward, the retractable tonneau cover device is widened in accordance with the forward tilt of the seat back. The flexible cover can be stretched over the entire luggage space from the front side to the back door.

In addition, the flexible cover can be stretched at a high position in the luggage space by raising the frame and supporting the middle portion of the flexible cover so as to be bent upward, so that a large luggage space can be secured. . Further, since the frame of the present invention is substantially shaped, it can be stored in a position overlapping the back of the seatback when not in use, and there is no space problem.

In addition, the shape of the upper side portion (support arm portion) of the substantially shaped frame body can be arbitrarily designed to support the flexible cover, so that a luggage space of a relatively arbitrary shape can be easily secured. There is also. For example, if the shape is linear, the hanging portion of the flexible cover does not sag in the width direction, and if the intermediate portion is curved upward, the luggage space can be further expanded.
