BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a rear parcel shelf for automobiles equipped with a sunshade unit, and more particularly, to a rear parcel shelf for automobiles that can be fixed easily and reliably without generating a gap between the sunshade unit and the rear parcel shelf.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 9, a rear parcel shelf 2 is installed on the rear side of the rear seat 1 of the vehicle. In particular, in order to prevent direct sunlight from the rear window glass 3, the rear window glass 3 can be shielded. A rear parcel shelf 2 with a sunshade unit 4 has been proposed and implemented.
[0003]
As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the rear parcel shelf 2 including the sunshade unit 4 includes a core material 2 a and a skin material 2 b, and an opening for attaching the sunshade unit 4. 2c is established along the vehicle width direction.
[0004]
The sunshade unit 4 has a sunshade body 6 wound and accommodated in an outer case 5 made of aluminum or the like so that the sunshade unit 4 can be pulled out. To attach the sunshade unit 4 to the rear parcel shelf 2, 5 is fitted from the indoor side, and engaging claws 5a cut and raised on both sides of the outer case 5 are engaged with the edges of the mounting opening 2c, and at the same time in the width direction on both sides of the shade outlet 5b of the outer case 5. The sunshade unit 4 is attached by pressing the surface of the rear parcel shelf 2 with the flange 5c extending outward and sandwiching it with the locking claws 5a and the flange 5c.
[0005]
Furthermore, the procedure for assembling the sunshade unit 4 will be described with reference to FIG. 12. The outer case 5 of the sunshade unit 4 is fitted into the mounting opening 2 c of the rear parcel shelf 2 from the indoor side, and the locking claw of the outer case 5 is engaged. 5 a is engaged with the edge of the mounting opening 2 c of the rear parcel shelf 2, and the edge of the mounting opening 2 c of the rear parcel shelf 2 is sandwiched between the left and right flanges 5 c of the outer case 5 and the locking claws 5 a. After attaching the outer case 5 to the rear parcel shelf 2, the side caps 7 are fitted into the openings at both ends of the outer case 5 to complete the assembly.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in the rear parcel shelf 2 provided with the conventional sunshade unit 4, the following problems are pointed out.
[0007]
First, since the engagement and fixing with the locking claws 5a provided on the outer case 5 is basically performed, the portion between the locking claws 5a is formed on the flange 5c of the outer case 5 and the surface of the rear parcel shelf 2 as shown in FIG. It is pointed out that there is a problem that a gap a is likely to occur between the two, causing a deterioration in appearance, and low-pitched sounds such as rattling noises are generated during traveling.
