Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle interior upper structure in which a loading platform on which a load is placed can be pulled out on a main body member disposed on a side wall immediately below the ceiling of a vehicle such as a train, a bus, and an aircraft.

  In vehicles such as trains and buses, luggage racks are provided on the side walls directly under the ceiling. For this luggage rack, it is a contradictory requirement to increase the load capacity of the luggage and to increase the comfort of passengers by taking a large indoor space. Many platforms (especially in Europe) have a small depth and it is difficult to place large loads on the platform. In addition, when a luggage is placed in the luggage space at the end of the vehicle, it becomes a place away from the eyes, which may cause theft.

  In addition, in the overhead bin of an aircraft, when the loading platform is installed at a position that is difficult to reach from the passage due to the seat arrangement, the loading platform does not move, so that it is difficult for passengers to take in and out the luggage. When a small baggage enters the back of the loading platform, it is more difficult to remove the baggage.

  In order to achieve both a large load capacity and a large indoor space, Patent Document 1 discloses an indoor upper structure of a vehicle (vehicle) provided with a loading platform on which a load can be placed on a main body member. It is disclosed. In this vehicle interior upper structure, a slide rail mechanism is disposed between the main body member and the loading platform.
