Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to an undertray for an automobile.

(Prior art) Generally, this type of undertray is
As seen in Publication No. 55-121747, it is assembled in the space below the instrument panel, but in order to increase the storage space for luggage with the tray, the front and rear length of the undertray is extended and the rear end faces the passenger compartment. If the undertray is placed at a relatively low position, there is a risk that the occupant's shins may get caught in the tray, and the items placed on the tray may be exposed to the vehicle. Another problem was that it was easily visible from the room.

(Purpose of the invention) This invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to expand the storage space for items without interfering with the passengers, and to be able to store emergency supplies such as emergency safety barrels. It is an object of the present invention to provide an undertray that can hold the items in a position where they can be easily taken out.

(Example) In the figure, 1 is a floor panel, 2 is a dash panel that partitions the engine room and the passenger compartment, and 3 is an instrument panel. The undertray A is disposed in the space below the instrument panel on the side.
details.

The undertray A shown in the figure includes a tray main body 4 with a surrounding wall 41 erected around the periphery. While vertical walls 5 of different heights are provided in series, the upper ends of these vertical walls 5 are horizontally extended toward the rear, that is, toward the passenger compartment side, and surrounding walls 61 are erected on three sides of the extended portions. A second tray 6 which is one step higher than the tray main body 4 is arranged in series.

Further, a partition wall 62 is provided on the edge of the second tray 6 on the side of the vertical wall 5, and a partition wall 62 is provided on the lower surface of the second tray 6 and outward in the vehicle width direction. A pair of holders 7, 7 each having a fitting hole 71 into which the emergency safety cylinder 70 is inserted and held are arranged in series at the position.

The undertray A having the above structure is a bracket whose front end is assembled to the dashboard panel 2, its outer end in the vehicle width direction to the inner wall 8 of the front pillar, and its inner end in the vehicle width direction to the lower part of the instrument panel 3. 30 and are arranged in the space below the instrument panel 3, and accordingly, the end of the undertray A on the vehicle interior side, that is, the rear end of the second tray 6, is fixed to the conventional one. However, the second tray 6 is formed one step higher than the tray main body 4, and the passenger's feet 1 are placed at the front as shown in FIG. Since the passenger's shins are stretched diagonally downward toward the second tray 6, the occupant's shins do not come into contact with the second tray 6.

The articles placed on the tray body 4 are
It is covered by the vertical wall 5 and is difficult to see from the passenger compartment side,
Furthermore, even if the article moves a lot during running, it will be caught by the vertical wall 5 and will not fall onto the floor.

Furthermore, even if the cargo on the second tray 6 tries to move due to vibration, the partition wall 62 to the surrounding wall 61 prevent the cargo from moving.
It will not fall to the side or onto the floor.

On the other hand, the emergency safety tube 70 held in the holders 7, 7 is covered by the second tray 6, so it is difficult to see from the passenger compartment side, and yet it is placed close to the occupant's hand, so in case of an emergency , the safety cylinder 70 can be taken out immediately.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, according to the invention, since the second tray is provided in addition to the tray main body, the space for placing articles is expanded accordingly, and at the same time, the second tray is larger than the tray main body. Since the second tray is also formed one step higher, even if the second tray protrudes more toward the passenger compartment than in the past, the occupant's shins will not interfere with the second tray.

In addition, since the articles placed on the tray body are covered by the vertical wall provided at the end of the tray body on the vehicle interior side, they are not exposed to the vehicle interior side, and even if the articles are moved during driving. It is securely caught by the vertical wall and does not fall onto the floor.

Further, according to the present invention, emergency supplies such as an emergency safety tube can be attached to the holder provided on the lower surface of the second tray, so that the emergency supplies are covered by the second tray and cannot be seen from the passenger compartment side. hard to see,
However, since the emergency supplies are placed close to the occupant's hand, they can be taken out extremely quickly in an emergency.
