Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to an L-shaped roof panel for a freight vehicle with a retractable roof.
This relates to letter-shaped roof panels.

[Prior Art] In a cargo vehicle with an opening/closing roof, a front wall and a rear wall are erected at the front and rear ends of the loading platform floor, and a support shaft is installed between the upper center of the front wall and the rear wall. An L-shaped roof panel is pivotally attached to the shaft.

In the conventional L-shaped roof panel of such a truck with a retractable roof, the L-shaped corner member, the top panel part, and the side panel part are supplied as single parts,
It is assembled into an L-shaped structure. Further, the L-shaped roof panels having the L-shaped structure as described above are stored and, during assembly, are transported to a site where the L-shaped roof panels are assembled onto a freight vehicle with a retractable roof.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In conventional L-shaped roof panels, the top and side panels are assembled to the L-shaped corner members by fitting long sections together.
It requires a special jig, and it is difficult to assemble single parts such as the top panel into an L-shaped structure at the site where L-shaped roof panels are assembled on freight vehicles with retractable roofs. The L-shaped roof panels assembled into the structure take up a lot of space and are very inconvenient to store and transport.

The purpose of this invention is to provide an L-shaped roof panel for a truck with a retractable roof that can be easily converted into an L-shaped structure and is advantageous for storage and transportation.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In the cargo vehicle with an opening/closing roof of this invention, a front wall and a rear wall are erected at the front and rear ends of the loading platform floor, and there is a space between the upper center of the front wall and the rear wall. A support shaft is installed, and an L-shaped roof panel is pivotally attached to this support shaft. The L-shaped roof panel of a truck with a retractable roof includes a top panel section, an L-shaped corner member fixed to the end of the top panel section, and a pivoting means at the top end of the top panel section. a side panel portion coupled to the end portion so as to be foldable toward the lower surface of the top panel portion; and a fixing means for fixing the upper end portion of the side panel portion to the lower end portion of the L-shaped corner member. .

[Operation] A state in which all other assemblies except for the fixing of the side panel part to the L-shaped corner member by the fixing means (including the connection of the top panel part and the side panel part by the pivoting means) have been completed. Until then, the L-shaped roof panels will be assembled. Accordingly, rotation of the side panel section to the underside of the top panel section in the pivoting means causes the side panel section to be folded under the top panel section. The L-shaped roof panel is thus stored with the side panel portions folded into the top panel portion.

The L-shaped roof panel, in the folded state described above, is then transported to another job site (usually an L-shaped roof panel on a retractable lorry).
The upper edge of the side panel part is fixed to the lower edge of the L-shaped corner member by fixing means, and the L-shaped roof panel is transported to the assembly site of the L-shaped roof panel. It has an L-shaped structure that can be assembled into.

[Example] Hereinafter, this invention will be described with reference to an example of the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view of the retractable roof vehicle 10. A loading platform floor 12 of a predetermined size is provided at the rear of the retractable roof vehicle 10.
A front wall 14 and a rear wall 16 are erected at the front and rear ends, respectively. The support shaft 18 is installed between the center portions of the upper sides of the front wall 14 and the rear wall 16, and is attached to the loading platform floor 12.
It extends in the front-rear direction above. The L-shaped roof panels 20, 20 are arranged on both left and right sides of the support shaft 18, and are swingably connected to the side portions of the support shaft 18,
Covers the upper part of the loading platform floor 12. Roof opening/closing cylinder 2
2, 22 have a front wall 14 and a rear wall 16 at both ends.
It is rotatably connected to the upper side and the front and rear sides of the upper panel part of the L-shaped roof panel 20, and the L-shaped roof panel 20 is
The loading space of the roof retractable automobile 10 is opened and closed by swinging the letter-shaped roof panels 20, 20.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an L-shaped roof panel 20. FIG. Top panel portion 24 of L-shaped roof panel 20
has a panel body 26 and an inner end fitting member 28 that fits into the end of the panel body 26 on the support shaft 18 side and is fixed by fixing means such as rivets or bolts. The panel body 26 has a reinforcing material 30
and a top sheet 32 attached and fixed to the top surface of the reinforcing material 30. The L-shaped corner member 34 is connected to the upper panel portion 24 on the opposite side of the support shaft 18.
It includes a fitting part 36 that fits and is fixed to the end of the holder, and a hanging part 38 that hangs downward. The side panel section 40 includes a panel main body 42 and a panel main body 4.
Upper end fitting member 44 that fits and is fixed to the upper end of 2
and a lower end fitting member 46 that is fitted and fixed to the lower end of the panel main body 42. Panel body 4
2 includes a reinforcing member 48 and a side sheet 50 attached and fixed to the outer surface of the reinforcing member 48. The hinge 52 includes a shaft 54 and plate portions 56 and 58 rotatably coupled to the shaft 54.
6 is fixed together with the lower side edge of the fitting part 36 of the L-shaped corner member 34 to the lower surface of the end of the upper panel part 24 on the L-shaped corner member 34 side by a rivet or bolt 60. The upper end fitting member 44 of the side panel portion 40 is attached by a rivet or bolt 60.
is fixed to the inner side edge of the

The outer side edge of the upper end fitting member 44 is attached to the hanging portion 38 of the L-shaped corner member 34 with a rivet or bolt 6.
2, but in the first assembly step, the outer side edge of the upper end fitting member 44 and the hanging portion 38 of the L-shaped corner member 34 are not fixed with rivets or bolts 62. . Therefore,
As shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 1, the side panel portion 40 rotates around the axis 54 of the hinge 52.
The L-shaped roof panel 20 can be folded to the lower side of the upper panel portion 24, and the L-shaped roof panel 20 is stored and transported in such a folded state. Then, after being transported to the site where the L-shaped roof panel 20 is assembled to the retractable roof vehicle 10, as a second assembly step, the outer side of the upper end fitting member 44 of the side panel portion 40 is fixed with rivets or bolts 62.
