Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a mounting structure for a trunk floorboard that is displayed on a floor panel of an automobile trunk.

In the general structure of a vehicle body, a recessed step-shaped well for storing a spare tire, etc. is formed in the floor panel of the trunk, and in the conventional trunk structure, the top surface of the opening of the well is The flat board that covers the well is placed and expanded on the floor panel, and the recessed space of the well is separated from the trunk space by the floorboard, which flattens the floor of the trunk. This structure was adopted to make it easier to place stored items in the well and to prevent stored small items from falling into the well.

Note that a soft floor mat is usually placed on top of the floorboards.

By the way, depending on the car model, in order to increase the storage capacity in the trunk as much as possible, the flat area of the well is made large so that in addition to the spare tire, other items can also be stored in the well. The structure is in practical use, but according to the conventional floorboard structure, which is just a flat board placed on it,
Even when taking out some of the stored items in the well, it takes time and effort to remove the floorboards one by one, so there is a problem in that the extra space in the cut-angled well is not utilized by the user.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned difficulties, and the purpose of the present invention is to enable the floorboard that covers the well space other than the spare tire storage space to be opened and closed by swinging. The object of the present invention is to provide a trunk floorboard in which the extra space is effectively utilized.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on an illustrated embodiment.

The floorboard of the embodiment includes a trunk floor panel 1, as shown by reference numeral 2 in FIGS. 1 to 5.
Specifically, this floorboard 2 covers an extra space on the rear side of a substantially rectangular well 1a that is recessed in most of the panel surface of the floor panel 1. In other words, well 1a
The left front part of the vehicle is used as a spare tire storage space S.

In addition, the small square floor board 3 with an arc-shaped notch in the upper part of the tire storage space S is used as the floor panel 1 in the small area of spare space in the right front part of the well 1a.
It is partitioned into upper and lower parts by being placed in the upper and lower parts.

Incidentally, the left and right front edges of the floorboard 2 are attached to the floor panel 1 in a swingable manner via a fastener-like flexible holder 4 and a rubber plug 5.
It is attached to the left and right edges 1b of the holder, and the manner of attachment will be specifically described below.

First, the holder 4, which is assembled to the floorboard 2 in advance, has a long plate-shaped base 6 in which a crimping collar 6a is formed in two stages, as shown in the cross section of FIG.
and a thin portion 7 extending horizontally from the upper end of the base 6.
an intermediate portion 7 in which a is formed, and upper and lower hook pieces 8 and 9 that branch from the intermediate portion 7 into upper and lower halves, and have female hook portions and male hook portions molded at their respective tips. are integrally molded by extrusion molding or injection molding of a flexible resin such as polypropylene material, and the base of the upper hook piece 8 has a shape that allows it to fall down until it overlaps with the lower hook piece 9. A thin portion 8a is formed at.

However, in order to assemble the lever holder 4 to the floorboard 2, the portion in front of the rectangular mounting holes 2a formed at both ends of the front edge of the floorboard 2 must be
After being inserted between both hook pieces 8 and 9, the respective hook parts of both hook pieces 8 and 9 are inserted into the mounting hole 2a and are press-fitted together, and the holder is secured by the engagement between the hook parts. 4 is securely fixed to the floorboard 2.

On the other hand, the cap-shaped plug 5, which is previously assembled to the edge 1b of the floor panel 1, is securely fixed to the panel 1 by press-fitting its collar groove into the edge of the attachment hole 1c of the edge 1b.

However, in order to attach the holder 4 to the plug 5,
The base part 6 can be pressed into the plug 5 by pressing down on the intermediate part 7, so that the floorboard 2 is attached to the floor panel 1 with its front edge as shown.

Since the floorboard 2 of the embodiment is configured in this way, articles stored in the rear half of the trunk space are supported by the floorboard 2 and placed in the well 1a.
In addition, when loading or unloading items into the free space in the rear half of the well 1a, move the items on the floorboard 2 to the front or take them out first and then move them to the rear half of the well 1a. As shown by the chain line, if the floor board 2 is pivoted forward to open and close around the thin wall portion 7a of the intermediate portion 7 of the holder 4, the floor board 2 can be easily opened and closed without removing it one by one. You can take items in and out.

In addition, when loading or unloading the spare tire into the well 1a, first remove the items on the board 2, then
By strongly pulling the holder 4 upward and removing it from the plug 5, the floorboard 2 can be easily taken out of the trunk and the tire can be replaced freely.

As described above, according to the trunk floorboard according to the present invention, both ends of the floorboard are removably attached to the trunk floor panel via fastener-like holders having thin hinge parts. The loading/unloading operation and the opening/closing operation of the floorboard are facilitated, resulting in the effect that the article storage space in the well is effectively utilized.
