Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a support structure for a lid plate such as a parcel tray in a rear luggage compartment of a hatchback type passenger car.

[Prior Art] As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional hatchback type passenger car is provided with a luggage compartment connected to a vehicle interior behind a rear seat 10. If the luggage is relatively small, the luggage compartment may be equipped with shelves 1 supported on both sides of the luggage compartment.
2 and a lid plate 13 which is pivotably supported so as to be tiltable. The rear end of the cover plate 13 is connected by a string 17 to a hatch 16 rotatably supported on the roof by a support shaft 15, and when the hatch 16 is raised, the cover plate 13 opens as shown by the chain line. If your luggage is large,
It is also possible to remove the shaft 14 and remove the shelf board 12, cover board 13, and string 17. Such a configuration is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-205222.

As shown in FIG. 2, in order to support the cover plate 13 on the side walls of the luggage compartment, support frames 19 made of synthetic resin and having an inverted L-shaped cross section are fixed to both side walls 18 of the luggage compartment with bolts. The above-mentioned shelf board 12 is supported on a step wall 20 provided along the inner edge of the frame 19, and a shaft 14 connected to the lid plate 13 is attached to a holder 21 made of a U-shaped elastic plate fixed to the step wall 20. is removably locked.

As shown in FIG. 3, the holder 21 is formed of a leaf spring or synthetic resin, and the center portion is connected to a bolt 23.
is fixed to the step wall 20 by a pair of elastic clamping pieces 2
The shaft 14 is held between the two parts 1a.

In the above-mentioned support structure for the cover plate, the holder 21 is configured separately from the support frame 19 and is attached with bolts 23, which requires time and effort to manufacture and assemble.

In the support structure for a cover plate of an automobile disclosed in FIG. 5 of Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-79448, a vertical groove and a longitudinal groove are continuously formed in the support frame in order to support the shaft of the cover plate. A projection projecting upward is provided at the bottom of the longitudinal groove.

However, in the support structure of the lid plate described above, it is impossible to resin mold the grooves and projections integrally with the support frame (mold cutting is not possible). In addition, since the protrusion does not deform elastically, it cannot be said that the height is sufficient to prevent complete longitudinal movement of the shaft. Backlash occurs, and in order to solve this problem, the shape of the longitudinal groove must be complicated.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] An object of the present invention is to provide a support structure for a cover plate in which means for removably supporting the cover plate can be formed integrally with a support frame.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the structure of the present invention is such that a step wall lower than the top wall is provided along the edge of the support frame fixed to both side walls of the luggage compartment. A front-rear groove is formed in the support frame and is surrounded by the intermediate side wall, the front and rear end walls, the step wall, and the bottom wall between the wall and the step wall and is open to one side, and the opening provided in the rear half of the bottom wall is An elastic stop piece protrudes upward from the front side from the rear edge, a shaft insertion opening is provided in the rear half of the step wall that covers the front-rear groove, and an opening that connects to the opening in the bottom wall is provided in a portion of the intermediate side wall that is lined up with the elastic stop piece. The shaft protruding from both side edges of the cover plate is inserted and supported through the shaft insertion opening between the front end wall of the longitudinal groove and the elastic stopper piece.

[Operation] When the shaft of the cover plate is inserted into the longitudinal groove from the upper shaft insertion opening of the support frame and moved forward while pressing down the elastic stop piece that protrudes upward from the bottom wall of the longitudinal groove, the shaft elastically stops. It comes off the piece and is held at the front end of the anteroposterior groove. The elastic stop piece protrudes upward due to elastic restoring force and suppresses the back and forth movement of the shaft.

The cover plate can be removed by pushing down the elastic stopper, pulling the shaft toward the rear of the longitudinal groove, and then pulling it up from the shaft insertion opening, contrary to the case described above.

[Embodiment of the invention] As shown in FIG. 4, the support frame 19 is constructed in a box shape from a top wall 31, a side wall 32, and an inclined lower wall 33, and a bolt support hole formed in the middle of the lower wall 33 is inserted into the support frame 19. The inserted bolt 35 is screwed into the side wall 18 of the luggage compartment and fixed. The internal space of the support frame 19 can accommodate audio speakers and the like. The latter half side edge of the cover plate 13 is supported by a step wall 20 formed along the side edge of the top wall 31, and the surfaces of the cover plate 13 and the top wall 31 are configured to have approximately the same height. Such a configuration is almost the same as the conventional example.

As shown in FIG. 5, according to the present invention, the step wall 2
A front-rear groove 6 is formed at 0. Anteroposterior groove 6
is an intermediate side wall 34 between the top wall 31 and the step wall 20
It is surrounded by front and rear end walls, and a bottom wall 37, and is open without the side wall 32. Furthermore, the front half of the longitudinal groove 6 is covered by the step wall 20, and the rear half is opened upward by the shaft insertion opening 7.

A rectangular opening 38 and an opening 4 that communicate with each other are provided in the bottom wall 37 and the intermediate side wall 34 that define the longitudinal groove 66. A hook-shaped elastic stopper piece 1 is integrally formed on the bottom wall 37 and projects upwardly from the rear edge of the opening 38 on the front side. A protruding piece 3 that limits the amount of deformation of the elastic stopper piece 1 is protruded from the back side of the bottom wall 37 to the lower side of the opening 38. The longitudinal groove 6, the elastic stopper piece 1, and the protrusion piece 3 can be molded integrally with the support frame 19 from synthetic resin.

By configuring the present invention as described above, the shaft 14 coupled to the cover plate 13 is supported by a pair of left and right support frames 19.
In order to support the shaft 14 in the longitudinal groove 6 of the
When the shaft 14 is inserted into the longitudinal groove 6 through the shaft insertion opening 7 of No. 0 and moved forward while pushing down the elastic stopper piece 1, the shaft 14 comes off from the elastic stopper piece 1 and is supported by the bottom wall 37. The elastic stop piece 1 closes to the bottom wall 3 due to restoring force.
7, the front end wall of the longitudinal groove 6 and the elastic stopper piece 1 suppress the longitudinal movement of the shaft 14. The protrusion 3 prevents damage to the elastic stopper 1 due to excessive bending.

The opening 4 provided in the intermediate side wall 34 allows the elastic stop piece 1 to
This is provided for the convenience of mold cutting when integrally molded with the support frame 19, but since it is hidden when the shaft 14 of the cover plate 13 is supported, it does not spoil the aesthetic appearance.

When removing the cover plate 13 to load large items, press down on the elastic stopper 1 and remove the shaft 14.
It can be easily removed by moving it to the rear of the longitudinal groove 6 and pulling it up from the shaft insertion opening 7.

Note that the present invention is applicable not only to the cover plate of the luggage compartment of a hatchback type passenger car, but also to the support structure of the cover plate that closes the compartment for storing gloves, pockets, etc. in the passenger compartment.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, the present invention provides a step wall lower than the top wall along the edge of the support frame fixed to both side walls of the luggage compartment, and an intermediate side wall between the top wall and the step wall. A front-back groove surrounded by the front and rear end walls, a step wall, and a bottom wall and open to one side is formed in the support frame, and an elastic stop projects upward from the front side from the rear edge of the opening provided in the rear half of the bottom wall. A shaft insertion opening is provided in the rear half of the stepped wall that covers the front-rear groove, and an opening that connects to the opening in the bottom wall is provided in the portion of the intermediate side wall that is lined up with the elastic stopper piece, and the shaft protrudes from both side edges of the cover plate. is inserted and supported from the shaft insertion opening between the front end wall of the longitudinal groove and the elastic stopper piece, and since the opening is provided in the intermediate side wall that partitions the longitudinal groove, the longitudinal groove and the shaft can be inserted and supported. Manufacturing costs can be reduced by integrally molding the elastic stop piece that suppresses back and forth movement with the support frame, and no other mounting parts are required.
Can be easily attached to a support frame.

Since the elastic stop piece has sufficient height, the back and forth movement of the shaft engaged with the longitudinal groove is prevented by the elastic stop piece, and the elastic stop piece can be deformed to a position flush with the bottom wall. The shaft can be easily attached to and removed from the longitudinal groove, and there is no fear that the shaft will fall off even if the elastic stop piece breaks.
