Description

  The present invention relates to a light truck hood and a framework for a light truck hood to be mounted on a light truck platform.

  Conventionally, various light truck hoods and frames for light truck hoods have been used in order to prevent a material loaded on a light truck platform from getting wet with rain water or collapsing or falling due to strong winds. These light truck hoods and their frames are, for example, those described in Patent Document 1 as shown in FIG. 4, in which a telescopic support frame 11 is placed between the front wall 3 of the loading platform 6 and the rear wall 4 of the loading platform. The cargo bed cover 7 is stretched from above. Further, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, there is described a modified example in which a trapezoidal shape is formed when viewed from the rear and the height can be adjusted. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the one described in Patent Document 2 has a front rack 1 and a rear support bar 5 attached to a cargo bed, and a hood holder 4 placed on them. These are covered with a hood 9.

JP 2002-127751 A (FIG. 4, FIG. 9 to FIG. 11 etc.) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-246220 (FIG. 2, FIG. 3, etc.)

  In the light truck hood described in Patent Document 1, the height of the light truck hood shown in FIG. 4 can be secured only at the same position as the rear wall 4 of the loading platform. Moreover, in what is shown by FIGS. 9-11, although a fixed amount of accommodation space can be ensured by using trapezoid shape, the structure for it is complicated. Moreover, since the center part on a sheet | seat is flat, the rain water which falls cannot flow in the front-back direction and the left-right direction. Further, even in the light truck hood described in Patent Document 2, since the central portion on the seat is flat, the falling rainwater cannot flow in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction.

  The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and to prevent rainwater from accumulating on the seat by flowing water such as rainwater on the seat to the left or right or rearward. The purpose is to provide a light truck hood and a framework for a light truck hood with a simple structure. It is another object of the present invention to provide a light truck hood and a framework for a light truck hood that are highly convenient because the raised sheets do not get in the way when loading and unloading transported goods.

What solves the said subject is as follows.
(1) A framework for a light truck hood that is mounted and fixed on the platform of a light truck and that is covered with a sheet to protect the transported goods on the platform,
The left vertical pipe, the central vertical pipe and the right vertical pipe, which are arranged in parallel with each other, and are arranged along the direction perpendicular to the left vertical pipe, the central vertical pipe and the right vertical pipe, and parallel to each other. A front side pipe and a rear side pipe disposed on the front and rear of the frame, and metal fittings for mounting and fixing to the loading platform, respectively.
The central vertical pipe is disposed at a position above the left vertical pipe and the right vertical pipe,
When the center vertical pipe is attached to the cargo bed, the attachment position in the height direction of each of the above-mentioned metal fittings is provided so as to be inclined downward from 1 degree to 25 degrees from the front to the rear. A framework for a light truck hood characterized by

  As described above, the central vertical pipe is disposed at a position higher than the left vertical pipe and the right vertical pipe, so that when the sheet is covered, the sheet is inclined from the central vertical pipe to the left and right pipes. As a result, the rain water on the seat easily flows from side to side. Further, the central vertical pipe is provided so as to have a downward slope of 1 to 25 degrees in the front-rear direction of the frame, so that rainwater on the seat is more likely to flow backward. Moreover, such a framework can be easily manufactured using only a plurality of pipes and metal fittings.

(2) A framework for a light truck hood that is mounted and fixed on the platform of a light truck and that is covered with a sheet to protect the transported goods on the platform,
The left vertical pipe, the central vertical pipe and the right vertical pipe, which are arranged in parallel with each other, and are arranged along the direction perpendicular to the left vertical pipe, the central vertical pipe and the right vertical pipe, and parallel to each other. A front side pipe and a rear side pipe disposed on the front and rear of the frame, and metal fittings for mounting and fixing to the loading platform, respectively.
The central vertical pipe is disposed at a position above the left vertical pipe and the right vertical pipe,
The distance on the perpendicular to the upper part of the metal fitting relative to the virtual extension line of the central vertical pipe is in the range of 50 mm to 500 mm at the front end of the frame, and is 100 mm to 900 mm at the rear end of the frame. Frame for truck hood.

  Generally, the metal fitting at the front end of this type of frame is fixed to a frame called “Torii” behind the driver's seat, while the metal fitting at the rear end of the frame is often attached to an opening / closing flap behind the loading platform. The position of the torii to which the frame fitting is fixed and the upper end of the opening / closing flap are generally higher in the height of the torii in the range of 250 mm to 400 mm. Further, the distance from this torii to the opening / closing flap behind the loading platform is often 1700 mm to 2000 mm. Therefore, as described in (1) above, when the central vertical pipe is attached to the loading platform, it is inclined downward from 1 degree to 25 degrees from the front to the rear, and a predetermined amount or more is provided below the framework. In order to ensure, it is desirable to determine the positions of the metal fittings before and after the frame as described above. In this way, rainwater on the seat is likely to flow backward. In addition, since the central vertical pipe is disposed at a position higher than the left vertical pipe and the right vertical pipe, when the sheet is covered, the sheet is inclined and covered from the central vertical pipe to the left and right pipes. As a result, the rain water on the seat easily flows from side to side. Moreover, such a framework can be easily manufactured using only a plurality of pipes and metal fittings.

(3) The left vertical pipe, the right vertical pipe, and the central vertical pipe have a main pipe portion and an insertion pipe portion that are inserted and connected to each other, and are straightly provided so as to be slidable so as to be adjustable in length. The framework for a light truck hood according to (1) or (2), characterized in that it comprises a portion.

  As described above, by providing each of the left vertical pipe, the right vertical pipe, and the central vertical pipe with straight portions slidably provided, it is possible to adjust the longitudinal length of the frame corresponding to the loading platform to be attached. .

(4) A central horizontal pipe attached to the left vertical pipe, the right vertical pipe and the central vertical pipe is provided between the front horizontal pipe and the rear horizontal pipe (1). To (3) The framework for a light truck hood according to any one of (3).

  In this way, by adding a horizontal pipe between the front horizontal pipe and the rear horizontal pipe, the frame is reinforced, and when the sheet is covered on the upper part of the frame, the sheet is moved by the central vertical pipe. It becomes easier to support from below. Therefore, the sheet can be prevented from dropping near the center of the frame, and rainwater can hardly be collected in such a part.

(5) The rear ends of the left vertical pipe, the right vertical pipe and the central vertical pipe are provided with curved portions that are curved downward, according to (1) to (4) The framework for a light truck hood described in any one of the above.

  By providing such a bending portion, when the sheet is covered, the sheet is also bent and covered according to the bending portion. Therefore, it is possible to easily drop rainwater or the like that tends to accumulate in the upper part of the seat to the rear of the frame in the rear portion of the covered seat.

(6) The front horizontal pipe, the rear horizontal pipe and the central horizontal pipe are straight, and left and right ends thereof are attached to the left vertical pipe and the right vertical pipe, and the central vertical pipe is (1) characterized by being disposed at a position above the left vertical pipe and the right vertical pipe via an attachment pipe extending from above the front horizontal pipe and the rear horizontal pipe (1) To (5) The framework for a light truck hood according to any one of (5).

  By using straight pipes for each horizontal pipe, and using a mounting pipe to arrange the central vertical pipe at a position above the two vertical pipes on the left and right sides, the central vertical pipe has a simple structure. Can be arranged at a position above the two vertical pipes on the left and right.

(7) A seat provided so as to be fixed by a string or the like at a corresponding portion of the left vertical pipe and the right vertical pipe of the framework for a light truck hood according to any one of (1) to (6) is provided. A characteristic light truck hood.

  Such a sheet is fixed to the frame with a string or the like. Since this sheet can be fixed with a string or the like at a portion corresponding to the left vertical pipe and the right vertical pipe, on the left side or the right side of the sheet, the sheet is rolled up above the framework along the left vertical pipe or the right vertical pipe. I can keep it. Therefore, it is possible to load and unload a transported object while leaving the large area of the lower part of the left vertical pipe and the lower part of the right vertical pipe open without having to lift up all the sheets. On the other hand, when loading and unloading is completed, the sheet can be immediately fixed by hanging the sheet as it is and fixing it to the loading platform with a hook or the like.

(8) The light truck hood according to (7), wherein two bands to which a ring having an opening through which the string or the like can be inserted are attached to the back side of the sheet.

  By providing a belt with a ring and making it possible to fix the sheet to the frame with a string inserted through the ring, the sheet can be fixed to the left and right vertical pipes of the frame while using a general-purpose sheet. It can be easily changed to one provided with a corresponding attachment site.

  Since the light truck hood and the framework for the light truck hood of the present invention are configured as described above, rainwater is not easily collected in a sheet shape by reliably flowing water such as rainwater on the seat to the left or right or rear with a simple structure. can do. Also, the rolled up sheets can be made convenient without loading and unloading the transported items.

  Hereinafter, the framework for a light truck hood and the light truck hood of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the framework 1 for a light truck hood of the present invention is formed in a lattice pattern of three vertically and three horizontally, and is mounted on the loading platform 4 of the light truck 3 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, the seat 60 is attached and used to cover a transported article or the like loaded on the loading platform 4. The light truck hood is composed of the skeleton 1 and the seat 60. 2 is constituted. The light truck hood 2 can hold the seat 60 at a certain height above the loading platform 4 and ensure a certain space above the seat 60. Further, by forming a certain downward slope on the surface of the seat 60 from the front to the rear of the loading platform 4 and from the center of the loading platform 4 to the left and right, it is possible to make it difficult to collect rainwater on the surface of the seat 60. . Further, when loading / unloading the transported goods, only a part of the sheet 60 is lifted up to secure an opening amount of a predetermined amount or more in the hood 2, thereby making it possible to conveniently load / unload the transported goods. . Details of the light truck hood framework 1 and the light truck hood will be described below.

Details of the framework 1 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the skeleton 1 has three vertical pipes (a left vertical pipe 10a and a right vertical pipe 10b, arranged in the center thereof) arranged along the front-rear direction of the loading platform 4 to be attached. And a central vertical pipe 40). The left vertical pipe 10 a and the right vertical pipe 10 b are formed in substantially the same shape, and are arranged in parallel on the left and right of the framework 1.

  The left vertical pipe 10a includes a straight portion 12 formed linearly from the front side toward the rear, a curved portion 20 in which the rear end of the straight portion 12 is inserted, and the straight portion 12 near the tip of the straight portion 12. And a front leg portion 30 provided in a perpendicular direction.

  The straight portion 12 is formed in a long cylindrical pipe shape close to the length of the loading platform 4 in the front-rear direction. Although each part of the frame 1 of this example uses a cylindrical pipe, other shapes such as a square tube may be used. The straight portion 12 has a main pipe portion 14 on the front side and an insertion pipe portion 16 having an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the main pipe portion 14 and being fitted into the main pipe portion 14. As will be described later, the main pipe portion 14 has an insertion pipe portion 16 slidably inserted therein and held therein. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, when not in use, the length of the skeleton 1 is shortened by accommodating the insertion pipe portion 16 in the main pipe portion 14, so that the skeleton 1 and the hood can be reduced in a smaller space. 2 can be stored. In this example, the main pipe portion 14 has a length of about 1120 mm, an outer diameter of about 19.1 mm, and an inner diameter of about 16.7 mm. The length of the insertion pipe portion 16 is about 1050 mm, the outer diameter is about 15.9 mm, and the inner diameter is about 12.7 mm. In this example, when the frame 1 is contracted in the front-rear direction, the front-rear direction of the frame 1 can be contracted to a minimum of about 1320 mm. Although the frame 1 can be configured not to be insertable and extendable in this manner, the frame 1 can be appropriately adjusted with respect to the longitudinal length of the loading platform 4 as in this example. It is desirable that some parts are configured to be slidable. In addition, for example, a member that is slidable in the front-rear direction of the skeleton 1 can be attached not to the straight portion 12 but in the vicinity of an L-shaped metal fitting 23 that will be described later as an attachment portion to the loading platform 4. However, when the two pipes are inserted and fitted in a part of the straight portion 12 as in this example and configured to be slidable, it is possible to easily realize a configuration in which the skeleton 1 is slidable in the front-rear direction. it can.

  A hole is opened in a lower part on the rear end side of the main pipe portion 14, and a nut 18 is fixed around the hole. A bolt 19 can be screwed into the nut 18, and when the bolt 19 is screwed into the nut 18, the tip of the bolt 19 is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the insertion pipe portion 16 at the back of the hole. It is configured to be crimpable. And in the predetermined slide position of the insertion pipe part 16 with respect to the main pipe part 14, the main pipe part 14 and the insertion pipe part 16 are fixed via the nut 18 and the bolt 19 by screwing in the bolt 19. Can do. In this way, the slide amount between the main pipe portion 14 and the insertion pipe portion 16 can be adjusted, and the main pipe portion 14 and the insertion pipe portion 16 can be fixed at a predetermined adjustment position, whereby the loading platform 4 can be fixed. The hood 2 can be adjusted according to the size in the front-rear direction. Even if the longitudinal length of the skeleton 1 is adjusted in this way, and particularly when the longitudinal length is increased, the longitudinal length of the seat 60 described later is long, so there is no problem in completely covering the loading platform 4. .

  A bending portion 20 is connected and fixed to the rear end side of the insertion pipe portion 16 described above. The bending portion 20 is formed in an “inverted L-shape” bent by 100R, the horizontal portion 21 has a length in the front-rear direction of about 200 mm, and the vertical portion 22 has a height of about 370 mm. ing. The outer diameter is about 19.1 mm, and the inner diameter is about 16.7 mm.

  An L-shaped metal fitting 23 is welded and attached to the lower end of the curved portion 20. The L-shaped metal fitting 23 is formed in a plate shape having an “inverted L-shape” in a side view in which the length of the horizontal portion 24 in the front-rear direction is about 30 mm and the height of the vertical portion 26 is about 18 mm. The lower end of the bending portion 20 is inserted into the fixing hole 25 formed in 24 and attached by welding. The L-shaped metal fitting 23 is attached to the curved portion 20 with the vertical portion 26 facing the straight portion 12 side, and the upper end of the flap 5 is used to lock the skeleton 1 to the flap 5 behind the loading platform 4 as will be described later. It is comprised so that it may be engaged with.

  Instead of such an L-shaped metal fitting 23, a metal fitting having a “U” shape in a side view with an opened lower portion may be used. By using such a “U” -shaped metal fitting, it is possible to ensure a reliable engagement with the flap 5 in any of the front and rear directions of the frame 1 as compared with the L-shaped metal fitting 23.

  Next, a description will be given of the front leg portion 30 provided continuously near the tip of the straight portion 12. As shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4, the front leg portion 30 is attached to a lower portion near the tip of the straight portion 12, and is continuously provided downward so as to be orthogonal to the straight portion 12. . The front leg 30 is formed in a straight pipe shape, and its length is provided at about 171 mm. An L-shaped metal fitting 23 similar to that described above is attached to the lower end of the front leg 30. And the lower end of the front leg part 30 is inserted and welded into the fixing hole 25 formed in the horizontal part 24. The L-shaped metal fitting 23 is attached to the front leg portion 30 with the vertical portion 26 facing the front end side of the straight portion 12, and the frame 1 is connected to the flap 5 behind the loading platform 4 and a light weight as will be described later. In order to be attached between the rear side of the driver's seat 6 of the truck 3, the truck 7 is configured to be engaged with the upper end of a frame 7 (called “Torii”) behind the driver's seat 6. The L-shaped metal fitting 23 may also have a “U” shape with an opening at the bottom, as described above.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the front leg portion 30 is attached so that its outer peripheral surface is located at a position about 20 mm behind the front end of the straight portion 12, and the front end of the straight portion 12 is at the front leg. The portion 30 is configured to be slightly forward of the attachment position of the L-shaped metal fitting 23. With this configuration, when the seat 60 is put on the skeleton 1, the front end portion of the seat 60 can be positioned more forward. In this way, the gap between the front end of the covered seat 60 and the back side of the driver's seat 6 can be reduced. Therefore, intrusion of rainwater or the like into the loading platform 4 from such a gap can be reduced.

  Although the left vertical pipe 10a has been described above, the configuration of the right vertical pipe 10b is the same as that of the left vertical pipe except that the attachment positions of the front horizontal pipe 50a, the central horizontal pipe 50b, and the rear horizontal pipe 50c described later are different. It is the same as 10a.

  Next, the center vertical pipe 40 will be described. The central vertical pipe 40 is disposed in parallel to the left vertical pipe 10a and the right vertical pipe 10b described above and at the center thereof. Similarly to the left vertical pipe 10a and the right vertical pipe 10b, the central vertical pipe 40 also includes a straight portion 12 that is linearly formed from the front side to the rear side of the frame 1. The straight portion 12 is also composed of a main pipe portion 14 and an insertion pipe portion 16, and the same applies to the length, outer diameter, and inner diameter thereof. A bending portion 42 is connected and fixed to the rear end side of the insertion pipe portion 16. As will be described later, the curved portion 42 of the central vertical pipe portion 40 is not extended until it reaches a position below the rear side horizontal pipe 50c, and is not longer than the length above the rear side horizontal pipe 50c. The lower end of the rear side pipe 50c is welded to the rear side pipe 50c. Specifically, the curved portion 42 is formed in an “inverted L-shaped” pipe shape that is curved at 100R, the length of the horizontal portion 46 in the front-rear direction is about 200 mm, and the height of the vertical portion 48. Is provided at about 160 mm. The outer diameter is about 19.1 mm, and the inner diameter is about 16.7 mm. Then, along with the left vertical pipe 10a and the right vertical pipe 10b described above, the portion closer to the rear side of the skeleton 1 including the central vertical pipe 40 is gradually moved toward the rear end by the bending portion 20 and the bending portion 42. The curved shape is directed downward. Therefore, when the sheet 60 described later is covered, the sheet 60 is also bent and covered in accordance with the bending portions 20 and 42. Therefore, it is possible to easily drop rainwater or the like that tends to collect on the upper portion of the seat 60 to the rear of the skeleton 1 at the rear portion of the covered seat 60. In addition, by being curved in this way, it is possible to prevent the sheet 60 from being damaged by being hardly damaged.

  In addition, attachment pipes 44 that are suspended downward are respectively attached to a lower portion of the central vertical pipe 40 near the front of the main pipe portion 14 and a lower portion of the main pipe portion 14 that is closer to the rear. These attachment pipes 44 are formed in a substantially straight cylindrical shape, and have a length of about 31 mm, an outer diameter of about 19.1 mm, and an inner diameter of about 16.7 mm. And it is welded and attached to the lower part of the predetermined position of the center vertical pipe 40, and each upper part of the front side horizontal pipe 50a and the center horizontal pipe 50b which are mentioned later. In this way, the central vertical pipe 40 has substantially the same height upward from the upper part of each of the front horizontal pipe 50a and the central horizontal pipe 50b (from the upper part of the front horizontal pipe 50a and the central horizontal pipe 50b to the lower part of the central vertical pipe 40. It is configured to be located at a height of about 31 mm. Accordingly, the central vertical pipe 40 is substantially the same height above the left and right left vertical pipes 10a and 10b (a height of about 31 mm from the upper part of the left and right vertical pipes 10a and 10b to the lower part of the central vertical pipe 40). A).

  Next, the horizontal pipe will be described. The three front horizontal pipes 50a, the central horizontal pipe 50b, and the rear horizontal pipe 50c are configured by pipes having substantially the same length, and are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the left vertical pipe 10a, the right vertical pipe 10b, and the central vertical pipe 40. It is arranged along a direction perpendicular to the direction. The front lateral pipe 50a is on the front end side of the skeleton 1, the rear lateral pipe 50c is on the rear end side of the skeleton 1, and the central lateral pipe 50b is a substantially intermediate position between the front lateral pipe 50a and the rear lateral pipe 50c. Respectively. Each of these horizontal pipes 50a, 50b, and 50c is formed in a substantially straight cylindrical shape, the length is about 780 mm, the outer diameter is about 19.1 mm, and the inner diameter is about 16.7 mm. It has been. And the front side horizontal pipe 50a is welded and attached to the side part about 60 mm away from the front-end | tip of the left vertical pipe 10a and the right vertical pipe 10b. Further, the central horizontal pipe 50b is welded and attached to each side portion separated from the rear end of the main pipe portion 14 by about 50 mm. The rear side horizontal pipe 50c is welded to the side portion of the left vertical pipe 10a and the right vertical pipe 10b that is near the upper end of the vertical portion 22 of the curved portion 20 and about 241 mm above the lower end of the vertical portion 22. It is attached.

  Next, the sheet 60 will be described. The sheet 60 is attached to the skeleton 1. The sheet 60 is a single waterproof sheet made of canvas as shown in FIG. The sheet 60 is formed in a single sheet shape, and on the back side thereof, two bands 62 for fixing to the frame 1 using the string 8 are provided. The sheet 60 is formed in a “fan shape” having a width of about 2490 mm in the front-rear direction, a width of the front side of about 2280 mm, a width of the rear side of about 2000 mm, and a slightly wider front side. Since the front side is wide, the front side of the cargo bed 4 can be sufficiently covered even when the seat 60 is covered with the frame 1 that is slightly higher in the front than the rear. Compared to the above, it is possible to sufficiently cover the left and right lower portions near the front of the high frame 1. Further, the front end portion of the seat 60 is formed to be inclined obliquely rearward from the center to the left and right, and the left and right end portions of the seat 60 are set back by about 60 mm from the center of the front end portion of the seat 60. By forming the front end portion of the seat 60 in this way, the front end portion of the seat 60 is evenly placed on the wall surface behind the driver's seat 6 even when the seat 60 is put on the frame 1 having the upper portion inclined forward and backward. It is comprised so that it may closely_contact | adhere, and the clearance gap between the front-end part of the seat 60 and the driver's seat 6 back wall surface can be decreased, and infiltration of rainwater etc. can be reduced.

  Further, along the left and right ends of the seat 60, a large number of holes to which a rubber 64 that can be hooked on a hook or the like provided on the outside of the loading platform 4 and a ring 68 for attaching the hook 66 are opened. In this example, seven rings 68 are arranged at substantially equal intervals along the front-rear direction at each of the left and right end portions. In addition to these, four rings 68 are attached to the rear end of the seat 60. As shown in FIG. 9, as described above, the rubber 64, the hook 66, and the like are appropriately attached to these rings 68, and the other end is locked to the hook or the like on the loading platform 4 side, whereby the seat 60 is attached to the loading platform 4. It is configured so that it can be fixed.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the belt 62 is provided so as to hang from the back side of the sheet 60 at a position about 320 mm to the left and right from the center line in the left-right direction of the sheet 60. Is extended to about three-quarters of the total length. These bands 62 are each provided with five rings 69 for inserting the string 8 at equal intervals.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 11, the seat 60 configured as described above is attached to the skeleton 1 so as to cover the left vertical pipe 10a and the right vertical pipe 10b from the central vertical pipe 40. In this state, the sheet 60 is fixed to the frame 1 by binding the string 8 to the ring 69 of the band 62 and the corresponding positions of the left vertical pipe 10a and the right vertical pipe 10b. Further, rubber 64 and hooks 66 are attached to the rings 68 at the left and right ends of the seat 60, and these are fixed to the hooks and other parts of the vehicle outside the loading platform 4, and the left and right ends of the seat 60 are directed to the vehicle side. Installed in close contact. It should be noted that the number of rubbers 64 and hooks 66 and which ring 68 they are attached to can be appropriately selected according to the vehicle and the transported item. For example, it is not always necessary to attach the rubber 64 and the hook 66 to all the rings 68. In this example, as shown in FIG. 9, the hook 66 is attached to the ring 68 at the front end, and the rubber 64 is attached only to four of the remaining six rings 68. Usually, the left and right ends of the seat 60 can be sufficiently fixed without attaching the rubber 64 and the hook 66 to all the rings. Then, during transportation, the seat 60 is completely fixed to the vehicle in this way to prevent intrusion of rain and wind into the hood 2.

  On the other hand, when loading a material into the hood 2 or when unloading a material from the hood 2, either or both of the left and right sides of the seat 60 are connected by a string 8, as shown in FIGS. It is possible to lift up to the position of the left vertical pipe 10a or the right vertical pipe 10b and temporarily bend it on the seat 60 to open the loading platform 4 from the side. When loading and unloading is completed, the seat 60 can be immediately fixed to the vehicle-side hook as it is. Therefore, when loading and unloading the material, the sheet 60 can be opened over a wide range of the entire side of the hood 2, while the sheet 60 can be quickly put back to the original state after loading and unloading. . Therefore, the convenience of the hood 2 can be remarkably enhanced. In particular, when loading and unloading a large amount of transported goods and unloading large transported goods, it is desirable that the sheet 60 be opened widely. However, in the conventional hood, once the sheet is rolled up, the sheet is covered again. Therefore, complicated work is required to fix it to the vehicle side. In addition, it is a complicated operation to roll the sheet. In this regard, the hood 2 of the present invention can easily open and close a part of the seat 60 greatly and quickly.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 9, the framework 1 in the hood 2 is configured such that the front is high and the rear is low, and the seat 60 to be covered is inclined downward from the front to the rear accordingly. It can be attached. Therefore, moisture such as rain that has fallen on the seat 60 attached to the hood 2 is configured to easily flow toward the rear. Further, as described above, since the central vertical pipe 40 is disposed at a position approximately 31 mm higher than the left vertical pipe 10a and the right vertical pipe 10b, the seat 60 attached to the hood 2 is provided with the central vertical pipe 40. From the position 40 to the position of the left vertical pipe 10a or the right vertical pipe 10b, it is attached to be inclined downward. Therefore, moisture such as rain that has fallen on the sheet 60 is easy to flow toward the left vertical pipe 10a or the right vertical pipe 10b, and is difficult to collect in the center. In addition, since the left and right end portions of the seat 60 further outside the left vertical pipe 10a or the right vertical pipe 10b are greatly inclined downward along the side portion of the vehicle, there is no possibility that moisture accumulates in this portion. . Further, since the central horizontal pipe 50b is disposed at a substantially central position in the front-rear direction of the skeleton 1, the seat 60 rides on the central horizontal pipe 50b, and the seat 60 droops greatly in the vicinity of the center of the seat 60. There is an effect to prevent that. Therefore, the central horizontal pipe 50b can also reduce the possibility of moisture remaining on the sheet 60.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, in the framework 1 of this example, the height of each part before and behind the framework 1 is as follows. The height on the front end side of the frame 1 is approximately 240.2 mm (171 mm + 19.1 mm + 31 mm + 19.1 mm) from the top of the L-shaped metal fitting 23 to the front end of the central vertical pipe 40, and the height on the rear end side of the frame 1 is on the L-shaped metal fitting 23. From the upper end of the curved portion 42 of the central vertical pipe 40 is about 420.1 mm (370 mm + 31 mm + 19.1 mm). Therefore, the uppermost part on the rear end side of the skeleton 1 is provided approximately 180 mm higher than the uppermost part on the distal end side. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, the position of the frame 7 on the front side of the loading platform 4 to which the L-shaped metal fitting 23 on the front end side of the frame 1 is attached is the loading platform 5 to which the L-shaped metal fitting 23 on the rear end side of the frame 1 is attached. Is located approximately 265 mm above the position of the upper end of the flap 5 on the rear side. Therefore, when the skeleton 1 is attached to the loading platform 4, the vertical pipes 10a, 10b and 40 of the skeleton 1 are attached so that the straight portion 12 is inclined backward about 2.5 degrees. If the shape of the loading platform of the vehicle is different, the structure of the skeleton 1 may be variously changed correspondingly. Although the inclination angle in the front-rear direction of the straight portion 12 of the skeleton 1 attached to the loading platform 4 depends on the positions of the upper ends of the frame 7 and the flap 5 of the loading platform 4, in general, the upper ends of the frame 7 and the flap 5. Since the difference between the height of the rear end with respect to the height of the front end of the central vertical pipe 40 is in the range of 50 to 850 mm, the difference in the length of the frame 1 is often in the range of 250 mm to 400 mm. The downward inclination angle of the portion 12 can be set to 1 to 25 degrees. It has been verified that rainwater can be hardly accumulated on the sheet 60 covered with the skeleton 1 within this angle range. However, in the case of these modifications, in order not to interfere with the transported goods loaded in the loading platform 4 and accommodated in the hood 2, and in order to ensure a storage amount of a certain level or more, the skeleton 1 Care should be taken to ensure a constant height at the top of the.

  Further, the central vertical pipe 40 is disposed so as to be higher than the left vertical pipe 10a and the right vertical pipe 10b so that rainwater on the seat 60 flows easily to the left and right of the hood 2. You may change suitably the height of the center vertical pipe 40 with respect to the left vertical pipe 10a and the right vertical pipe 10b. In this example, the central pipe 40 is disposed higher than the left pipe 10a and the right vertical pipe 10b by the mounting pipe 44. For example, by changing the length of the mounting pipe 44, the height of the central vertical pipe 40 is increased. Can be changed.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described example, and appropriate modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention. For example, unlike the skeleton 1, the central vertical pipe 40 may be attached to the central horizontal pipe 50c as a length up to the central horizontal pipe 50b without extending to the position of the rear side horizontal pipe 50c. Each pipe may have a cross-sectional shape other than a cylindrical shape.

  The present invention can be widely used for light truck tops and light truck top frames.
