Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a device for preventing theft of luggage in a luggage compartment of a hatchback vehicle, and in particular, an operation between the passenger compartment and the luggage compartment from the passenger compartment. The present invention relates to a luggage theft prevention device for a hatchback vehicle that is separated by a rear seat that can be moved forward by a rear seat and a rear shelf that can be opened.

(Prior Art) In a hatchback vehicle, an occupant compartment and a luggage compartment are usually partitioned by a seat back of a rear seat and a rear shelf. The luggage in the luggage compartment is put in and out by opening the tailgate.

Such a hatchback vehicle has a feature that the rear seat portion can also be used as a luggage compartment according to the size of luggage and the like. For this reason, generally, the seat back of the rear seat can be tilted forward, and the rear shelf can also be folded.

The forward operation of the seat back can be performed from the passenger compartment. The rear shelf has a front portion rotatable upward so that a passenger in the rear seat can easily open. By doing so, it is possible to normally take out the luggage in the luggage compartment from the passenger compartment, and the use of the hatchback vehicle is further expanded.

In a general hatchback vehicle, the lock device of the tailgate is opened not only by direct unlocking by operating a key but also by operating a tailgate opener provided in a driver's seat.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Incidentally, in such a hatchback car, there is a problem that the luggage in the luggage compartment can be taken out only by entering the passenger compartment, so that the luggage tends to be stolen.
In other words, if the occupant leaves the car with the door locked, the occupant's cabin can be easily accessed by others, so the tailgate can be opened by operating the driver's seat opener and the luggage can be taken out. it can. The luggage in the luggage compartment can also be taken out by moving the rear seat back forward or opening the rear shelf by operating from the passenger compartment.

In order to prevent theft of luggage in the luggage room,
It is conceivable that the tailgate lock device is unlocked only by key operation, and that the seat back of the rear seat and the rear shelf cannot be opened from the passenger compartment.

However, if the seat back cannot be moved forward and the rear shelf cannot be opened from the passenger compartment, not only the multipurpose use of the hatchback car will be hindered, but also a situation will occur in which children are trapped in the luggage compartment. There is fear. In other words, if the child enters the luggage compartment while the seat back is moving forward and raises the seat back without noticing it and returns to the normal seating position, the seat back cannot be moved forward again from the passenger compartment. Until the engine is stopped and the tailgate is opened by the key, the child will be trapped in the luggage compartment.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and has as its object to rotate the rear seat forward or the upward rotation of the front of the rear shelf by the operation from the passenger compartment during normal operation. In a hatchback vehicle that is enabled, when theft prevention is required, the luggage compartment cannot be opened by an operation from the passenger compartment.

Another object of the present invention is to prevent children from being accidentally trapped in the luggage compartment.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve this object, according to the present invention, one of a rear surface of a seat back of a rear seat that can be tilted forward and a lower surface of a front portion of a rear shelf that can rotate upward is provided. And the holder is provided on the other side, and the hook and the holder are engaged with each other only when the seat back and the rear shelf are in a proper position for partitioning between the passenger compartment and the cargo compartment. Like that. The lock device of the tailgate that opens and closes the rear surface of the luggage compartment is unlocked only by key operation.

When the seat back of the rear seat is divided into a left and right side and a separate type that can be independently tilted forward, hooks having engagement portions on the left and right are used, and the hooks are provided on the front lower surface of the rear shelf. Attached to. Then, the left and right seatbacks are provided with holders with which the left and right engagement portions of the hook engage respectively.

(Operation) With such a configuration, when the hook and the holder are engaged with each other, the seat back of the rear seat and the rear shelf are connected to each other, and their rotation is disabled. In addition, since the hooks and the holders are provided on the back surface of the seat back or the lower surface of the rear shelf, they are arranged in the luggage compartment. Therefore, it becomes impossible to take out the luggage in the luggage compartment from the passenger compartment. Also, the tailgate cannot be opened without key operation. Thus, theft of the luggage in the luggage compartment is prevented.

On the other hand, if you remove the hook from the holder, you can take out the luggage in the luggage from the passenger compartment as usual,
The luggage room can be expanded by moving the seat back forward.

Thus, the engagement between the hook and the holder can be performed only from the cargo room. That is, they can be engaged only when the tailgate is open. Therefore, the child is not accidentally trapped in the luggage compartment.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention is described using a drawing.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a luggage theft prevention device according to the present invention, and is a schematic longitudinal side view of a rear portion of a hatchback vehicle provided with the antitheft device, and FIGS. It is a perspective view of an important section for explaining an operation of a prevention device.

As is apparent from FIG. 1, the rear end surface of the cabin of the hatchback vehicle 1 is opened and closed by a tailgate 2 that opens downward from an upper hinge. The tailgate 2 is locked by a lock device 3 in the closed position. The lock device 3 is unlocked only by an ignition key of the hatchback vehicle 1.

The interior of the hatchback vehicle 1 is partitioned into a passenger compartment 7 and a luggage compartment 8 by a seat back 5 of a rear seat 4 and a rear shelf 6. The rear shelf 6 is disposed substantially horizontally between the rear upper end of the seat back 5 and the tailgate 2. Thus, the luggage compartment 8 is opened at the rear end by opening the tailgate 2, so that the luggage inside the luggage compartment 8 can be taken in and out.

As shown in FIG. 2, the seat back 5 of the rear seat 4 is divided into left and right seat backs 5l and 5r at the center in the vehicle body left-right direction. Each seat back 5l, 5r
Can be tilted forward independently of each other with the lower end as a center, and are locked in the normal sitting position shown in FIG. The lock is released by operating knobs (not shown) provided on the upper end and the rear surface. That is, each of the seat backs 5l and 5r can be moved forward from both sides of the passenger compartment 7 and the luggage compartment 8.

The rear shelf 6 is provided with a hinge 6a at an intermediate portion thereof. The front part can rotate upward from the horizontal position around the hinge 6a.
The rear portion of the rear shelf 6 is supported by the vehicle body at both left and right ends thereof. As shown in FIG. 1, when the tailgate 2 is closed, a stopper rubber 2a attached to the lining of the tailgate 2 is provided. And the release is regulated. A grip or the like (not shown) is provided on a front upper surface of the rear shelf 6 so that the rear shelf 6 can be opened from the passenger compartment 7 side.

An elastic body mounting portion 9 is integrally provided at the center of the front lower surface of the rear shelf 6. And the mounting part 9
Is connected to one end of an elastic body 10 that can expand and contract in the length direction. The elastic body 10 is made of a relatively thick rubber string or the like, and is easily extended to some extent by applying a tension, but has a tensile strength that is not cut by a normal input.

The other end of the elastic body 10 has a hook 11 made of a round bar of a rigid material.
Is attached. The elastic body 10 is connected to the center of the hook 11 in the longitudinal direction, so that the hook 11 is formed with a pair of left and right engaging portions 11, 11r.

On the other hand, holders 12l and 12r are attached to the left and right seatbacks 5l and 5r, respectively, on the upper rear surfaces thereof. The holders 12l, 12r have an inverted L-shaped cross section, and the left and right engaging portions 11, 11r of the hook 11 are engaged with the inside thereof. As shown in FIG. 1, when the seat backs 5l, 5r and the rear shelf 6 are both in their normal positions, the length of the elastic body 10
The length is such that it can be kept in tension when engaged.

The hook 11 has a grip 13 protruding downward at the center thereof.
Is provided, and when engaged with the holders 12l, 12r, the grip portion 13 is grasped and pulled down, so that it can be easily released from the engaged state.

Next, the operation of the thus configured luggage theft prevention device will be described.

When no luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment 8 or when there is no danger of theft of the luggage, the hook 11 remains off the holders 12l and 12r as shown by the phantom line in FIG. Keep it. In this case, the seat backs 5l and 5r of the rear seat 4 can be moved forward by the operation from the passenger compartment 7, and the rear shelf 6 can be opened. Therefore, like a regular hatchback car,
It is possible to take in and out the luggage in the luggage compartment 8 even while traveling. Also, since the luggage compartment 8 is expanded by moving the seat backs 5l and 5r forward, large luggage such as long luggage can be loaded.

When loading valuables into the luggage compartment 8, the tailgate 2 is opened and the seat backs 5l and 5r and the rear shelf 6 are opened.
Is positioned at the proper position, the hook 11 is moved to below the holders 12l and 12r while the elastic body 10 is pulled by the hook 11. Then, when the hand is released from the hook 11, the elastic body 10 contracts due to its elasticity, and the left and right engaging portions 11, 11r of the hook 11 are brought into contact with the left and right seatbacks 5, l, as shown in FIG. Engage with holders 12l and 12r of 5r, respectively. Then, put luggage in the luggage compartment 8 and
Close. Then, the tailgate 2 is locked by the lock device 3.

In this state, the seat backs 5l and 5r and the rear shelf 6
Are connected to each other at a position away from the center of rotation. Therefore, their rotations are both regulated. That is, the forward tilt of the seat backs 5l and 5r and the upward rotation of the front part of the rear shelf 6 are both prevented. Moreover,
Since the hook 11 and the holders 12l and 12r are located in the luggage compartment 8, they cannot be disengaged from the passenger compartment 7. Further, the lock device 3 of the tailgate 2 cannot be unlocked from the passenger compartment 7. As a result, even if the baggage enters the passenger compartment 7, the luggage in the luggage compartment 8 cannot be taken out unless the elastic body 10 is torn off, and theft is prevented.

By attaching the hook 11 to the rear shelf 6 via the elastic body 10 in this manner, the holder 12 of the hook 11
The operation of engaging with l and 12r is facilitated. Also, in such a state of engagement, the elastic body 10 is kept in a tensioned state,
The hook 11 does not come off from the holders 12l and 12r due to the vibration of the vehicle body or the like. Therefore, its hook 11 and holder
12l and 12r can be of a simple structure.

Hooks 11 are holders 12l and 12r unless they are from the luggage compartment 8 side.
Cannot be engaged. Therefore, the setting of the luggage theft prevention device is always performed with the tailgate 2 opened, and it is always possible to know if a child is in the luggage compartment 8.

Further, for example, it is assumed that the left seat back 5l is moved forward, and only the right engaging portion 11r of the hook 11 is engaged with the holder 12r of the right seat back 5r. At this time, even if the child enters the luggage compartment 8 and raises the left seat back 5l without noticing it, the left engaging portion 11 of the hook 11 is attached to the holder 12l as shown in FIG. Does not engage. Since the hook 11 is connected to the elastic body 10, the hook 11 is tilted by abutting on the back surface of the holder 12l, and the right engaging portion 11r is also partially released from the right holder 12r. When the child stands up to escape, the rear shelf 6 is pushed up, and the hook 11 is completely removed from the right holder 12r, so that the rear shelf 6 is easily opened.

Therefore, it is reliably prevented that the child is erroneously trapped in the luggage compartment 8.

Use the hook when releasing the anti-theft device in order to load long items, etc.
The hook 11 may be pulled out below the holders 12l and 12r by grasping the grip 13 attached to the holder 11. The grip 13
Since the finger extends downward from the hook 11, the operation is extremely easy. If the hooks 11 are removed from the holders 12l and 12r, the seat backs 5l and 5r can be moved forward from the luggage compartment 8 side as usual.

For connection between the hook 11 and the mounting portion 9 of the rear shelf 6,
In addition to the elastic member 10 as in the above embodiment, a flexible linear member 14 such as a normal wire can be used as shown in FIG. In that case, the striatum 14
Is slightly slack when engaged with the holder 12,
An elastic projection 15 that holds the hook 11 in an engaged state on the holder 12
And the like may be provided. If you do this,
It is not necessary to apply a tensile force to extend the elastic body 10 as in the above-described embodiment, and the hook 11 can be kept in the engaged state only by pushing the hook 11 into the holder 12, so that the force required for the operation can be reduced. it can. Further, the tensile strength of the filament 14 can be sufficiently increased.

In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the seat back 5 of the rear seat 4 is of a separate type has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Can be applied. In this case, the hook 11 should be of a normal hook shape and the holder 12
Can also be hook-shaped or ring-shaped.
In that case, the hook 11 may be attached to the seat back 5 and the holder 12 may be attached to the rear shelf 6. Even in such a case, since the engagement operation between the hook 11 and the holder 12 cannot be performed unless the tailgate 2 is opened, there is no possibility that the child is locked in the luggage compartment 8.

(Effect of the Invention) As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, a hook is provided on one of the rear surface of the seat back of the rear seat and the front lower surface of the rear shelf, and the hook is engaged with the other. Since the holders that can be combined are provided, when they are engaged, it becomes impossible to take out the luggage in the luggage compartment from the passenger compartment side. Since the lock device of the tailgate cannot be unlocked unless a key is operated, the tailgate cannot be opened by an operation from the passenger compartment. Therefore, even if the passenger enters the passenger compartment, the luggage in the luggage compartment cannot be taken out. Even if the driver forgets to lock the door and leaves the vehicle, the luggage in the luggage compartment is reliably prevented from being stolen. be able to.

Further, since the engagement operation between the hook and the holder cannot be performed unless the tailgate is open, it is possible to prevent a child from being erroneously trapped in the luggage compartment.

When the hook is removed from the holder, the luggage compartment can be opened from the occupant compartment by tilting the seat back forward or rotating the front portion of the rear shelf upward, so that the occupant compartment can be opened. Large luggage can be put in and out between the room and the luggage room. In addition, since the luggage compartment is expanded by moving the seat back forward, large luggage can be loaded. Therefore, convenience similar to that of a normal hatchback vehicle is also ensured.
