TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a triangular stop plate used to notify a rear vehicle of an emergency.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As the triangular stop plate, a foldable triangular stop plate is generally used, and the triangular stop plate is housed in a case and placed in a trunk room.
Since the triangular stop plate can be made independent on the road and must be surely recognized by the following vehicle even when placed on the road, it not only requires a heavy pedestal and the like, but also has a relatively large body itself. It was very disturbing, especially in the small trunk room. Further, when the trunk room is full of luggage, the triangular stop plate cannot be taken out immediately, which is inconvenient.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-71057, for example, a triangular stop plate made of a reflective material is installed on the back surface of the trunk lid so that the trunk lid becomes almost vertical only by opening the trunk lid. An emergency situation can be reported to vehicles behind by a triangular stop plate installed on the back of the lid.
In the case where a triangular stop plate is installed on the back of the trunk lid, when the trunk lid is in the open state, the emergency situation is always notified to the rear vehicle by the triangular stop plate. Cannot be open for hours. For example, when the luggage in the luggage compartment is divided several times and unloaded from the vehicle, the luggage compartment lid must be opened and the luggage must be closed each time the luggage is unloaded. At the time of unloading, the closed trunk lid has to be opened again, and there has been a problem that the unloading becomes very troublesome.
Even if the triangular stop plate is plate-shaped, since it protrudes from the back of the trunk lid, not only the space in the trunk room is reduced, but also the luggage in the full trunk room comes into contact with the triangular stop plate. This causes troubles such as damage to the triangular stop plate.
[0004]
An object of the present invention is to provide a triangular stop plate which does not reduce the volume in a trunk room and which can be quickly displayed only when used, in view of the above situation.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The mounting structure of the triangular stop plate of the present invention includes three or more plate-like members for solving the above-described problem, and a storage posture in which these plate-like members overlap in a use position and a plate thickness direction in a triangular shape. The plate member in the storage position is attached to the peripheral surface of a back door such as an openable / closable trunk lid, and the plate member in the storage position is located between the peripheral surface of the back door and the vehicle body. The dimensions of the plate-shaped member are set so that the plate-shaped member can enter the gap of the outer back door and does not protrude from the back door in the thickness direction of the outer back door.
By using the gap between the peripheral surface of the back door and the vehicle body as a storage space for the plate member in the storage position as described above, the plate member can be installed without protruding into the trunk room. When used as a triangular stop plate, after the back door is opened, the plate member is suspended from the peripheral surface of the back door by changing the posture from the storage posture to a use posture forming a triangular shape. State.
[0006]
Of the peripheral surface of the back door, the plate is provided on the lower end surface which is located below and substantially horizontal when the back door is closed, and is substantially upward and downward when the back door is open. The plate-shaped member is rotatably mounted, the plate-shaped member is rotated to a predetermined position in the open state of the back door, and the posture is changed to the use posture, so that the plate-shaped member is suspended from the peripheral surface of the back door as described above. It is. By attaching the plate-shaped member to the lower end surface of the peripheral surface of the back door, the triangular stop plate can be arranged immediately behind the vehicle body.
[0007]
By forming the plate-shaped member by attaching a reflection sheet to the surface of a reinforcing plate, the plate-shaped member can be configured to be hardly deformed.
[0008]
The plate-like members are made into six pieces, the ends of each plate-like member are pivotally connected to each other to form an annular shape, and the two plate-like members constitute one side of a triangle, and the left and right sides constituting the bottom side A slidable cylindrical cover member for externally covering the pivot connection portion between the two plate members over the ends of the two plate members. A specific one of the pivotal connection portions is rotatably mounted near a lock device mounted substantially at the center of the lower end surface in the left-right direction, and the six plate-shaped members are overlapped in the plate thickness direction. In (2), the dimensions of the plate-shaped member are set such that the end of the plate-shaped member does not protrude from the left-right end of the lower end surface.
By configuring the plate-like member from six pieces as described above, the longitudinal dimension of the plate-like member in the storage posture can be shorter than that of the plate-like member having three pieces. A triangular stop plate can be attached to the lower end surface between the portion where the is attached substantially at the center in the left-right direction and the one end portion. In addition, by covering the pivotal connecting portion between the two left and right plate-shaped members constituting the bottom where the weight acts most on the cover member over the ends of the two plate-shaped members, It is possible to prevent the posture of the plate members from being changed. The triangular stop plate can be suspended almost in the center of the vehicle body by rotatably mounting the pivot joint near the lock device that is mounted almost at the center of the lower end surface in the left-right direction. There is an advantage that is easy.
[0009]
By setting the dimensions of each plate member such that the pivotal connection portions of the plate members do not overlap in the overlapping direction in the storage position of the plate member, in addition to the thickness of the plate member, In other words, the dimension in the thickness direction, that is, the amount of protrusion of all the connecting members that protrude in the thickness direction from each plate-like member can be suppressed.
[0010]
By providing moving means for moving the pivotal connection portion serving as the center of rotation of the plate-like member outside the trunk room with the back door closed, the triangular stop plate can be used with the back door closed.

And a rear end portion 3B that is bent downward from the end) to close the rear opening of the trunk room 2. A locking device 4 for locking a trunk lid 3 in a closed state by engaging with a striker S provided on the vehicle body side at a substantially central portion in the left-right direction of a lower end surface 3b of the peripheral surface of the rear end portion 3B. The triangular stop plate 1 is attached to a lower end surface 3b between the right end and the rear end. Here, a case is shown in which the triangular stop plate 1 is attached to the trunk lid 3 of a sedan type automobile, but a station wagon type, a one-box type, a coupe type, or the like having a back door such as the trunk lid 3 is provided. If so, it may be attached to any object.
[0012]
As shown in FIG. 4, the triangular stop plate 1 is formed by cutting two corners at both ends in the longitudinal direction obliquely and forming six substantially rectangular plate members 5 to 10 having trapezoidal end portions. Then, the ends of the respective plate-shaped members are pivotally connected via five cylindrical connecting fittings 11 and pins 12 to be inserted into and attached to holes (not shown) formed in the lower end face 3b. Thus, each of the two sides of the triangle can be constituted by the two plate-shaped members 5, 6 or 7, 8, 9 or 10, and can be attached to the lower end face 3b so as to be rotatable around the pin 12 as the center of rotation. I have to. Then, all of the six plate-like members 5 to 10 capable of forming the triangle are superimposed in the thickness direction to change from the use posture (see FIG. 4) forming the triangle to the storage posture (see FIG. 5). ) To change the posture. In the stored state in which the six plate members 5 to 10 are stacked, the plate members are arranged such that the remaining four plate members 6 to 9 are arranged between the plate members 5 and 10 located at both ends. Are set as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. Further, a slidable cylindrical member for externally covering a pivotal connection portion between the two left and right plate members 7 and 8 constituting the bottom side across the ends of the two plate members 7 and 8. The cover member 13 is provided so that the posture of the two linear plate members 7 and 8 constituting the bottom side in the use posture is not changed. Here, the triangular stop plate 1 is composed of six plate members 5 to 10, but may be composed of any number of three or more. In addition, the triangular stop plate 1 is attached to the right side of the lower end surface 3b of the lower end surface 3b, which is a position that can be reached immediately after the trunk lid 3 is opened by a key operation. On the other hand, it may be attached to the lower end face 3b of the left part, or may be attached to other parts other than the lower end face 3b if it is the peripheral surface of the trunk lid 3.
[0013]
Although not shown, the plate members 5 to 10 have a thickness of about 0.3 mm by attaching a high-brightness reflective sheet of about 0.2 mm thickness to the surface of a reinforcing plate body with an adhesive or the like. It is constituted by a plate material of 0.5 mm. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the plate members 5 to 10 in the storage posture enter the gap D (about 5 mm) between the lower end surface 3b of the trunk lid 3 and the vehicle body (the upper end surface forming the opening) A. It is configured to be able to. The plate can be made of a metal material such as aluminum to improve shape-retaining performance.However, in addition to a material made of a resin material such as a polyester film that does not thermally deform at about ambient temperature, a material that does not deform when used is used. Any material may be used. Further, the thickness of each of the plate members 5 to 10 may be changed due to a difference in dimension of the gap D or the like.
As shown in FIG. 3, a dimension (referred to as a lateral width) X in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of each of the plate members 5 to 10 is set so as not to protrude from the trunk lid 3 in the thickness direction of the trunk lid 3. The same dimension B as the dimension B in the thickness direction of the trunk lid 3 (or smaller than the dimension B), and the longitudinal dimension (length) of the longest plate member 10 as shown in FIGS. Y is set equal to (or shorter than) the distance L from the lock device 4 to the right end. Although the length of the long plate-like member 10 in the longitudinal direction is actually about 27 cm, the size of each of the plate-like members 5 to 10 may be changed depending on the size of the vehicle.
Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the plate members 5, 6 for connecting the dimensions of the plate members 5 to 10 so that the connection fittings 11 do not overlap in the overlapping direction (the plate thickness direction) in the storage position. Or, the dimensions of 7, 8 or 9, 10 are different. With this configuration, the maximum thickness of the triangular stop plates 1 in the stacked storage position can be suppressed to about 0.46 cm, and the distance between the lower end surface 3b of the trunk lid 3 and the vehicle body A can be reduced. Can be reliably inserted into the gap D, but it is possible to prevent the thickness of the plate-like members 5 to 10 from being unnecessarily reduced, so that the plate-like members 5 to 10 are not easily deformed. .

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, one end of the triangular stop plate 1 configured as described above is rotatably attached to the lower end surface 3b via the pin 12 in the storage posture as described above, and By inserting the end of the fixing pin 14 inserted through the opening 11A of the connecting member 11 of the plate member 10 located at the lowermost end into an opening (not shown) formed in the lower end surface 3b, a triangular stop plate is provided. 1 is fixed to the lower end surface 3b so as not to move when the trunk lid 3 is opened and closed. When the user wants to use the triangular stop plate 1, the user first opens the closed trunk lid 3, removes the fixing pin 14, and rotates the pin 12 around the fixing pin 14 so that the end of the fixing pin 14 is closed. Is in a vertical position located below. Next, by expanding the plate member in the storage position, the posture is changed to a use position that becomes a triangle, and the cover member 13 is pivotally connected to the two left and right plate members 7 and 8 that form the bottom side. By sliding the triangular stop plate 1 on the trunk lid 3 by sliding the triangular stop plate 1 over the ends of the two plate-shaped members 7 and 8 (see FIG. 2). To be able to report emergency situations. After the use, the triangular stop plate 1 is rotated around the pin 12 to a position along the lower end surface 3b after the posture is changed to a storage posture in which the six plate members 5 to 10 overlap in the plate thickness direction. Therefore, the fixing pins 14 are inserted and fixed as described above. Instead of the fixing pin 14, the trunk lid 3 may be provided with a locking member for locking and holding the plate members 5 to 10 in the storage posture, or the fixing pin 14 may be omitted. May be implemented. By providing the pin 12 near the lock device 4, the triangular stop plate 1 can be positioned substantially at the center of the vehicle body in the left-right direction. However, the pin 12 is provided at a position far from the lock device 4, that is, at one end of the lower end surface 3b. May be provided. The pin 12 may be provided with a retaining portion so that it does not easily come off the lower end surface 3b, or may be fixed by screwing into the lower end surface 3b instead of the pin 12. Screws may be used, and any type may be used to fix the triangular stop plate 1 rotatably.
[0015]
By providing a pin 12 as a pivotal connecting portion serving as a rotation center of the plate-like member and moving the pin 12 to the outside of the trunk room when the trunk lid 3 is closed, the trunk lid 3 is provided as shown in FIG.
