A detachable cover 3 that covers from the lower part of the side surface of the camping shell 2 to the lower part of the chassis of the truck bed is attached and used as a load related to the camping shell, so that the load protruding from the side surface of the bed is removed. By eliminating the projecting portion and covering the fixing member 4 such as metal fittings for fixing the load, there is an effect of preventing an accident in which a small child or the like contacts the head or face and is injured. In addition, by making the cover of the present invention have a shape and color that are related to the design of the camping shell or the like loaded on the loading platform, it is possible to improve the appearance of the entire truck loaded with the camping shell or the like.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a cover to be attached to the side of the bed of a truck on which camping shells and the like are loaded.

Due to the impact of the new coronavirus, demand for campers, mobile sales, and private office spaces is on the rise, and more and more people are using camping shells loaded on trucks.

The revised Road Traffic Law was promulgated on January 6, 2022 to relax restrictions on the length and width of the load of automobiles, and in response to the enforcement from May 13 of the same year, load it on the truck bed. In order to make the most of the effective dimensions of the cargo space of the camping shell, etc., it is expected that the use of camping shells that protrude from the truck bed will increase.

In addition, even if a camping shell or the like with excellent design is used, the loading platform of the truck loaded with it is significantly inferior in appearance compared to the vehicle body manufactured by modifying the truck as a camper. , it is desired to improve this.

By installing the above-mentioned cover, even if the bottom side of the camping shell protrudes from the loading platform, a small child, etc., will not be injured by contacting the protruding part or binding metal fittings with the head or face. It has a preventive effect.

In addition, by designing the shape and color of the cover main body in harmony with the design of the camping shell or the like, it is possible to improve the overall appearance of the truck loaded with the camping shell or the like.

Fig. 10 is a side view showing an embodiment in which the cover of the device according to claim 1 is attached when a camping shell or the like is loaded with the tilt on the truck bed side erected. It is a figure of the vehicle rear which shows an Example same as the above. It is sectional drawing of the cover which shows Example same as the above. FIG. 11 is a side view showing an embodiment in which a cover according to claim 2 is attached when a camping shell or the like is loaded with the truck bed side tilt removed. It is a figure of the vehicle rear which shows an Example same as the above. It is sectional drawing of the cover which shows Example same as the above.

The cover of the present invention has a main body made of steel plate or synthetic resin, etc., and a fixing member that is integrated with the cover so that the cover does not fall off due to wind pressure or vibration during driving. It has a structure that can be firmly attached to both sides of the loading platform by a simple method.

Regarding the installation method for using the cover proposed in this article, the road surface conditions and speed of the road on which it is traveling, the usage conditions such as whether the cover needs to be attached and detached frequently and not, deterioration due to corrosion etc. of the vehicle body part Depending on the presence or absence of the cover, various mounting methods are assumed, such as a method of mounting with a simple clip, etc., a method of fixing using bolts and nuts, a method of fixing by attaching a reinforcing member to receive the cover on the vehicle body. However, whatever method is used, the cover shall be securely attached so that it will not fall off due to wind pressure or vibration during running.

In addition, if a cover with a shape as shown in the drawing is fixed only to the vehicle body, it constitutes a modification of the vehicle body shape. This cover shall be handled as a load related to the camping shell, etc., loaded on the truck bed, and shall be structured to be fixed to both the camping shell, etc. and the vehicle bed.

An embodiment of attaching and using the cover of the present invention by a relatively simple method will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The cover 3 is attached by setting the lower portion of the fixing member 4 to a portion of the vehicle body that is not easily deformed by an external force, such as the footrest 9 of the truck bed, the rubber portion 10 for tilting the truck bed, and the truck rear fender 11. In this example, the upper portion of the fixing member 4 is fixed by hooking a catch clip 7 to a receiving metal fitting 8 installed on the lower side of a camping shell or the like.

The above-mentioned embodiment is one example of the mounting method. If sufficient strength cannot be obtained, or if high strength is required due to frequent driving on rough roads such as forest roads, various mounting methods are assumed depending on individual usage conditions. is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but should be mounted by the most suitable method according to each use condition so as not to fall off due to wind pressure or vibration during running.

The cover according to the present invention contributes to the improvement of safety and aesthetics when loading camping shells, etc., and because it has a removable structure, the effect can be obtained without modifying the vehicle body, so it is highly recommended for industrial use. The above availability seems to be very promising.
