[0016]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a state in which the guide plate assembly 20 of the present invention is incorporated in a vehicle bed. In this embodiment, there are two sets of guide plate assemblies 20, each of which is housed inside the frame material 30 of the loading platform (the two sets of guide plate assemblies are composed of similar elements, so the same reference numerals are used). Attached). The width of each guide plate assembly is about the width of each door of a door (not shown) that opens and closes the opening of the loading platform. As a result, when one door is opened and a load is loaded and unloaded, the guide plate assembly on the side corresponding to the door can be used. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and a set of conductive plate assemblies may be used. Further, the width of the guide plate assembly may be a part of the width of the opening.
[0017]
The opening of the loading platform is defined by a gate-shaped frame member, and a door (see FIG. 3) is pivotally attached to the frame member. A recess 21 is provided on the inner side of the frame member (FIG. 4). Shows a recess provided in the frame material on one side, but a recess is also provided in the inside of the frame material on the other side). The size of the recess can accommodate the entire two members that are pivotally attached to each other as described below.
[0018]
The two members 22 and 23 are connected by hinges 24 and 25 so as to open upward (in FIG. 4, the members 22 and 23 located on the right side are open and located on the left side). The members 22 and 23 are superposed on one member 23 so that the other member 22 is positioned).
[0019]
Member 23 to the lower end of the recess 21 of the frame member, but is pivotally connected by a hinge 31, about its hinge 31, when pivoting member 23 into the recess 21, the loading platform of the member 23 bed It is pivotally attached so that the side in contact with the surface 7 and the inner surface of the frame member coincide.
[0020]
An elastic member 26 is attached to the side of the member 22 pivotally attached to the member 23 that contacts the floor surface 7 of the loading platform . The elastic member 26 functions as a cushioning material when the member 22 comes into contact with the floor surface 7, and also functions as a silencer that softens the impact sound. The elastic member may also be provided on the side of the member 23 that contacts the floor surface 7.
[0021]
In the vicinity of the lower part of the opening of the loading platform, there is usually a step due to the auxiliary members (including flooring), but if the size and mounting position of the elastic member 26 are determined so as to eliminate this step, the two sheets When the members 22 and 23 are opened, they can be made almost horizontal.
[0022]
In the illustrated embodiment, the entire guide plate assembly 20 can be stored in the recess 21. However, when the guide plate assembly 20 does not interfere with the loading and unloading of luggage, the frame material is used as a frame material. The guide plate assembly may be pivotally attached along the inner surface of the frame member without providing a recess. In this case and in the illustrated case, it is desirable that the guide plate assembly is fixed by a stopper (not shown) so that the guide plate assembly does not fall to the floor side due to traveling of the vehicle.
[0023]
When the guide plate assembly 20 is used, the guide plate assembly 20 is pivoted about the hinge 31 and falls from the recess 21 to the floor surface 7 of the loading platform. At this time, the member 22 is overlaid on the member 23 (like the conductive plate assembly located on the left side in FIG. 4). Next, the upper member 22 is pivoted about the hinges 24 and 25 so as to open upward (like the guide plate assembly located on the right side in FIG. 4). At this time, the elastic member 26 attached to the member 22 serves as a cushioning material, and the member 22 can be kept horizontal.
[0024]
The horizontal member is placed on a load receiving platform (indicated by a broken line in FIG. 4) of the lifting device so as to bridge a gap between the load receiving platform and the loading platform. As described above, one or the other or both of the two conductive plate assemblies shown in FIG. 4 can be used as required. Thus, it is possible to safely and smoothly move the load from the loading platform to the loading platform and from the loading platform to the loading platform.
[0025]
When the guide plate assembly 20 is not used, the member 22 in the open state of the guide plate assembly on the right side of FIG. 4 is pivoted over the member 23 around the hinges (24, 25). . Next, the member 23 on which the member 22 is overlapped (as in the left-hand guide plate assembly in FIG. 4) is pivotally stored in the recess 21 of the frame member 30 around the hinge (31). . The entire guide plate assembly 20 is housed in the recess 21 and does not hinder the work in the vicinity of the opening, and loads can be loaded in the vicinity thereof.
[0026]
The illustrated guide plate assembly is configured so as to bridge the gap between the loading platform and the loading platform of the lifting device, but the present invention is not limited to this example. It can also be applied to bridge the gap between the platform and the platform when the vehicle platform is brought close to the platform for unloading.
[0027]
【effect】
As described above, the guide plate assembly of the present invention can be assembled at the time of loading / unloading of a package, and can be stored in the platform when not in use, so that the platform can be used effectively. In addition, loading and unloading work is not hindered.
[0028]
Further, by the members constituting the guide plate assembly of the present invention attaching the elastic member, not only it is possible to obtain a buffering effect, it can be eliminated the step near the bed of the opening.
[0029]
Furthermore, the members constituting the conductive plate assembly of the present invention are composed of two pieces. Therefore, since both members are stacked and stored when stored, the members are compact, and when used, both members can be spread in a flat shape. Therefore, it can bridge a wide area.
