Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hatchback vehicle that utilizes a tailgate to expand the interior space of the vehicle.

Conventionally provided camping tents are ideal for long-distance road trips because they greatly increase the freedom and enjoyment of your travel destination by not restricting time or lodging locations, and they also save on lodging fees. The demand for this as a means has increased in recent years.

A specific example of the above-mentioned camping tent is a camper kit for a small vehicle that uses a tailgate, and includes a base box body and a slidable structure inside the base box body. Consists of one or more slide rail bodies, one or more floor plates housed internally or externally attached to the base box body, and feet, and the bottom surface of the floor plate has a floor surface F height corresponding to each floor surface. a means for having a positioning mechanism, by which the upper surface of one or more floor plates mounted on the slide rail and the upper surface of the base box body are flattened by the floor height positioning mechanism; and a tailgate and a slide rail body. A "camper kit for small vehicles" (Patent Document 1) has been proposed that includes a curtain tent that expands the interior space of a small vehicle by utilizing the following.

However, the proposal for such a "camper kit for small vehicles" requires a complicated process to provide the vehicle with a base box body and one or more slide rail bodies slidably installed in the base box body. In addition to requiring construction and remodeling costs, there is a possibility that the tailgate or tent may become unstable due to strong winds during bad weather, and the entire tent may become unstable due to the lack of measures to secure the tailgate or tent. The problem was that there was no proper means of opening the system.

Further, a support frame that is slidably supported between the inside and outside of the vehicle is horizontally supported outside the vehicle by the legs and the upper surface of the bumper. On this support frame, a substrate in which tent fabric in a folded state is stored on one side so as to be unfoldable is supported so as to be reversible from front to back. A "vehicle tent" (Patent Document 2) has been proposed in which the upper part of the tent fabric is locked by a flip-up tailgate at the rear of the vehicle when the tent fabric is unfolded.

However, this proposal for a "vehicle tent" does not simplify tent setup when camping, and the purpose of this project can be achieved by parking the vehicle in a tent that is slightly larger than the so-called vehicle. (See Figure 4), and was not a proposal specifically achieved by the constituent means of this case.

The present applicant has developed this product in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is both low-priced and compact compared to the conventional large and luxuriously equipped high-priced camping tents that have been popular so far. Based on the idea that it would be possible to provide a curtain tent for camping, we developed a curtain tent for camping that uses the tailgate of a hatchback vehicle to expand the interior space of the vehicle, and proposed the "curtain tent" of the present invention. This leads to the following.
