Description

  The present invention relates to a luggage room structure for an automobile.

  The luggage room of an automobile is provided with a tonneau cover that can be pulled out from a winding device installed on the front side toward the rear side, as is known, for example, in Patent Document 1. The tonneau cover that is pulled out has a function to cover the luggage in the luggage room and a function to put small items on top.

The side trim that forms the side wall of the luggage room from which the tonneau cover is pulled out is not straight in the front-rear direction, but a convex portion that covers the closed cross-sectional structure along the vertical direction of the vehicle body is formed in the portion corresponding to the rear pillar at the rear end. The width of the luggage room is narrower in that area. Therefore, the tonneau cover is not substantially the same width in the front-rear direction, and the rear end portion corresponding to the convex portion is partially narrowed.

  However, in such a conventional technique, since the width of the rear end portion of the tonneau cover is narrow at the portion corresponding to the convex portion of the side wall, it is a change point of the width when the tonneau cover is pulled out. The corner portion hangs down and a gap is generated between the tonneau cover and the side wall. When such a gap is generated, the state of the luggage room under the tonneau cover can be seen from there, and not only the appearance is deteriorated, but also small items placed on the upper part of the tonneau cover may fall from there.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such a conventional technique, and provides a structure capable of covering a luggage room without a gap using a tonneau cover or the like.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a luggage room in which the rear wall is formed by a back door that can be opened and closed and a wide part that extends inward is formed behind the side wall is pulled out from the front part of the luggage room to the rear part. A luggage room structure of an automobile that is freely extended and is covered with a tonneau cover that is separated from the back door in the pulled-out state, and the tonneau cover has a substantially same width in the front-rear direction covering a range up to the vicinity of the wide portion of the side wall. The back door is formed with a recess recessed backward from the front surface of the back door, and a tonneau board is attached to cover the gap between the recess and the rear end of the tonneau cover from above. It is characterized by.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the luggage room structure for an automobile according to the first aspect, the recess is formed in a region below the attachment point of the tonneau board of the back door.

According to the first and second aspects of the invention, since the tonneau cover has substantially the same width in the front-rear direction covering the range up to the vicinity of the wide portion of the side wall, tension is applied to the entire tonneau cover when pulled out to the luggage room side. And does not hang down partially. In addition, the tonneau cover itself has a length up to the vicinity of the wide portion , and a gap is formed between the back door and the rear door. The gap is attached to the back door trim and the back door provided on the luggage room side of the back door. Because it is covered with a tonneau board, the inside of the luggage room is not easily exposed. In addition, the concave portion recessed into the front surface by remote rear of the backdoor is because it is formed in the back door, the capacity of the luggage room is increased, storage is improved. Moreover, since a tonneau board that covers the recess of the back door and covers the gap between the recess and the rear end of the tonneau cover is attached, the inside of the luggage room is exposed despite the increased capacity of the luggage room. Hateful. In addition, the gap generated between the tonneau cover and the back door in this way allows the interior of the luggage room to be confirmed in a wider range by using this gap when the back door is opened. This is convenient because it makes it easier to put things in and out of the luggage room.

  A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. In the luggage room R at the rear of the automobile, the front wall is formed by the rear surface of the rear seat 1, the side wall is formed by the side trim 2, and the rear wall is formed by the back door trim 4 of the back door 3. The back door 3 has a structure that opens upward with the hinge portion 5 at the upper end as a center.

  At the rear end of the portion corresponding to the rear pillar of the side trim 2, a convex portion 6 that protrudes toward the luggage room R is formed in the vertical direction. The front end 6a of the convex portion 6 is a slightly rearward inclined surface.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the back door 3 is formed with a recess 16 that is recessed rearward from the mating surface of the rear surface of the convex portion 6 and the front surface of the back door 3.

  A winding device 7 is installed behind the rear seat 1 along the vehicle width direction. A tonneau cover 8 having a width substantially corresponding to the luggage room R is accommodated in the winding device 7 with a predetermined winding force. The tonneau cover 8 itself has substantially the same width in the front-rear direction.

  A resin board portion 9 is connected to the rear end of the tonneau cover 8. The board portion 9 is a narrow shape having a side end shape corresponding to the shape of the front end 6a of the convex portion 6, and an opening 10 for a handle is formed at the center. Further, groove portions 11 are formed on the lower surfaces of both end portions of the board portion 9 (see FIG. 5), and the tonneau cover 8 is pulled out by engaging the groove portions 11 with hooks 12 provided at the front ends of the convex portions 6. Can maintain the state. A constant tension is applied to the tonneau cover 8 by the winding force of the winding device 7, and the rear end is solidified by the board portion 9, so that small items such as towels can be placed on the tonneau cover 8.

  Since the board portion 9 has a narrow size corresponding to the vicinity of the front end 6 a of the convex portion 6, a gap S is formed between the back door 3 (between the concave portion 16 and the rear end of the tonneau cover 8). The gap S and the recess 16 are covered from above by the tonneau board 13 attached to the upper end of the back door trim 4 of the back door 3. The tonneau board 13 is attached to the back door trim 4 via a hinge portion 14 whose rear end is rotatable up and down. The tonneau board 13 has a front and rear length that covers the opening 10 provided for the handle in the board portion 9 from the upper side, and this state suspends the front end portion from the back door 3 with the string 15. Is maintained. Moreover, this string 15 can be removed from the tonneau board 13, and the tonneau board 13 can be accommodated in the lower side in the state along the back door 3 by removing (refer FIG. 3). Therefore, when not in use, the luggage room R can be used widely without being in the way.

  Thus, by covering the gap S with the tonneau board 13, the entire surface of the luggage room R is completely covered with the tonneau cover 8, the board portion 9, and the tonneau board 13. Therefore, when the back door 3 is closed, the interior of the luggage room R is Invisible from the outside, it is excellent in terms of appearance. Since the opening 10 for the handle formed in the board part 9 is also covered with the tonneau board 13, the inside of the luggage room R cannot be seen from this opening 10, which is advantageous in terms of appearance. Since the flexible tonneau cover 8 itself has substantially the same width in the front-rear direction, when it is pulled out to the luggage room R side, as described above, tension is applied to the entire tonneau cover 8 and it partially hangs down. There is nothing.

  Moreover, the clearance gap S which arises between the board part 9 and the back door 3 can confirm the inside of a luggage room in the wider range using this clearance gap S at the time of the back door 3 opening.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, in the prior art without the gap S, only the range of B could be confirmed. By forming this gap S, the state of a wider range of A can be confirmed. In addition, this gap S is convenient because it is easy to put in and out the luggage room R while the tonneau cover 8 is pulled out.

  Further, when the back door 3 is opened and then closed again, the tonneau board 13 is covered from the upper side of the board portion 9 and is suspended by the string 15, so that the position of the tonneau board 13 is mistakenly changed to the tonneau cover 8 (board portion 9). ), The tonneau board 13 is merely placed on the board portion 9 and neither of them strongly interferes or the hinge portion 14 of the tonneau board 13 is not damaged.

  Further, since the board portion 9 connected to the rear end of the tonneau cover 8 is narrow, as shown in FIG. 3, when the tonneau cover 8 is accommodated, it is not hindered when it is suspended from the luggage room R and accommodated. Further, since the space between the board portion and the back door is covered with the tonneau cover, the board portion can be made sufficiently narrow, and the weight of the board portion can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the winding force of the tonneau cover for preventing the board part hanging from the wound tonneau cover from dropping, and the operating force when pulling out the tonneau cover is reduced, improving the operability.

  In the above embodiment, an example in which the board portion 9 is connected to the rear end of the tonneau cover 8 is shown. However, the rear end of the tonneau cover 8 is directly connected to the front end 6 a of the convex portion 6 without providing the board portion 9. May be combined.
