Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field]

This invention, for example, has a back door.
In a passenger/freight vehicle, this is a storage platform that works with the rear luggage compartment floor to form a double floor, and when the rear seat is folded and stored to expand the luggage space, the storage platform can be used accordingly. It relates to a device whose surface area can be expanded.

[Prior art and its problems]

A passenger car of the so-called two-box type with a luggage space inside the back door is usually provided with a rear parcel shelf as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 56-57537. Such a rear parcel shelf extends rearward from near the top of the seat back of the rear seat, divides the space behind the rear seat into upper and lower parts, and is constructed so that it can be rotated open and closed by a hinge, and a heavy and large space is placed in the lower space. In addition to being able to store luggage, it is also possible to place light luggage on the top of the parcel shelf. By the way, this parcel shelf is opened and closed many times, so rather than being used to place luggage on top, it covers the lower luggage space, and the luggage and miscellaneous items in the luggage space can reduce the interior space. I have a strong tendency to make sure my appearance doesn't deteriorate. By the way, recently some light vehicles in particular are equipped with back doors and the rear seats can be folded towards the backs of the front seats.
Many passenger/freight vehicles can be seen that have been designed to actively expand the cargo space at the rear of the vehicle, thereby strengthening their character as freight vehicles and expanding the range of uses of the vehicle. In such automobiles, since the rear seats are foldable, a rear parcel shelf such as the one introduced above is not provided because it becomes a hindrance instead of using the cargo space. Therefore, in such passenger/cargo vehicles, luggage is simply placed directly on the floor panel of the rear cargo space. However, when storing luggage in the cargo space of such a passenger/cargo vehicle, even if the space in the front and rear directions increases,
There is a limit to the height at which luggage can be stacked, and in the end, if you want to load luggage stably, you won't be able to load that much luggage.

[Purpose of the invention]

This invention was devised under the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to improve the size of the cargo space that changes between when the rear seat is used and when the rear seat is stowed, in an automobile equipped with a rear seat that can be folded and stowed. Provides a storage platform at a constant height from the cargo floor that can be expanded and contracted forward and backward according to the needs of the vehicle, and cooperates with the cargo floor to form a double floor. To make it possible to load luggage both on the luggage compartment floor below the luggage storage stand and on the luggage storage stand both when a rear seat is stowed, and to make more effective use of the luggage compartment space.

[Means to achieve the purpose]

In order to achieve the above object, the following technical measures are taken in the luggage rack of the rear luggage compartment of a car according to the present invention. That is, the present invention provides a rear seat that can be folded forward by a seat cushion pivoting forward about a front hinge, and a luggage compartment in which the seat cushion of the rear seat rests on the front part and extends all the way to the rear of the vehicle body. In an automobile having a floor, a first board is horizontally supported at a predetermined height, covering the rear luggage compartment floor adjacent to the rear of the seat back of a rear seat in use, and capable of rotating to open and close around a front hinge. On the other hand, the present invention is characterized in that a second board, which has support legs on the lower front surface that can be supported by the luggage compartment floor and is slidable forward, is supported in an overlapping manner with respect to the first board.

[Actions and effects of the invention]

As a result of taking the above measures, the present invention has the following functions and effects. Firstly, a double board consisting of a horizontal first board at a predetermined height and a second board superimposed on this board is installed on the luggage compartment floor. As a result, this double board cooperates with the luggage compartment floor to form, so to speak, a double floor, which essentially doubles the space for storing luggage. . Therefore, it is possible to load a large amount of cargo in a stable manner.
In addition, it can be conveniently used by storing tools and unsightly miscellaneous items under the storage table, while placing good-looking items on the storage table. In addition,
Since the first board can be rotated to open and close around the front hinge, it is possible to open and close the first board and the second board by lifting the rear part while keeping the double board stacked on top of each other. This means that you can load and unload cargo under the storage platform without any problems. Second, even when the rear seat is folded forward and stored, the cargo storage platform of the present invention has a double board structure in which the second board can slide forward relative to the first board. By sliding the two boards forward, the rear seat can be folded and stowed, making the entire enlarged luggage compartment floor a double floor state. In this case, the weight of the front end of the second board that has been slid forward can be supported on the floor by the support legs provided at the bottom of the front end, so that relatively heavy loads can be carried over the entire expanded storage platform. can be loaded without any problems. In other words, in the present invention, the cargo space can be used either when the rear seat is in use and the effective length of the cargo space is short, or when the rear seat is folded and stored and the effective length of the cargo space is expanded. The floor can be in a double floor state.

[Explanation of Examples]

Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in Figure 1, the rear floor 1 of an automobile
is raised by a certain height with respect to the front floor 2 and reaches the rear cross member 3 of the vehicle body, which forms a luggage compartment floor 4. The rear seat 5 is installed with its seat cushion 6 resting on the front part of the cargo floor 4, and thus the rear seat 5 is
As shown in FIG. 2, the seat bag 7 is folded forward and the entire lower part of the seat cushion 6 is rotated forward about the hinge 8 to be folded and stored. As is clear from a comparison of FIGS. 1 and 2, when the rear seat 5 is folded and stored, the effective longitudinal length of the cargo floor 4 is expanded compared to when the rear seat 5 is in use. Further, at the center of the rear part of the cargo compartment floor 4, a tire well 9 for storing a spare tire is formed by recessing the rear floor panel. On the rear upper surface of the cargo compartment floor 4, a total of four legs 10a and 10b, a pair of front and rear left and right legs, are positioned with the tire well 9 in between. It is removably fixed using thumbscrews 12 or the like. The left and right front legs 10a have a sliding means in which a guide rail 14 extending in the front-back direction and a slide rail 15 slidable in the front-back direction with respect to the guide rail 14 are combined via a hinge 13 attached to the entire surface of the front leg 10a. 16 is rotatably supported. This slide means 16 normally has a lower surface of the slide means 16, that is, a lower surface of the guide rail 14, as shown by the solid line in FIG.
It will be placed on the top surface of a and 10b. As shown in FIG. 6, if the hinge is a clamp-type hinge that allows the support shaft 13a to be attached and detached, the four legs 10a and 10b can be attached to and detached from the cargo floor. In addition, it is convenient because the entire cargo storage platform according to this embodiment can be attached to and removed from the cargo floor 4 as needed. A first board 17 having a predetermined width and a predetermined length is attached to the guide rail 14, and the first board 17 is attached to the slide rail 15.
A second board 18 that can almost overlap is attached to the upper surface of the storage platform 7 to constitute a storage platform S. In the illustrated example,
As shown in detail in FIG. 5, the guide rail 14 is formed in such a manner that horizontal support flanges 20 extend from the left and right upper edges of the channel portion 19 on both sides, and the channel portion 19 of the guide rail 14 serves as the slide rail 15. Wide part 2 that slides into the
1 and a narrow part 22 at the upper part thereof, and the first board 17 is connected to an intermediate member 23 located between the left and right slide means 16 and the left and right slide means 16, as shown in FIG. 16, and the outer edge 23a of the intermediate portion 23 material and the inner edge 24a of the both side portions 24 are made to slightly overhang into the channel portion 19 of the guide rail 14. and supported by the support collar 20, and the upper surface 15a
Slide rail 15 with second board 18 fixed to
The lower wide part 21 of the guide rail 14 is slidably fitted into the channel part 19 of the guide rail 14.
Furthermore, the intermediate member 23 of the first board 17
In addition to dividing it into front and back as shown in the figure,
By connecting the front part 23b and the rear part 23c with a hinge 25 and fixing only the front part 23a to the guide rail 14, the rear part 23c is connected as shown in FIG.
The hinge 25 rotates to open and close around the hinge 25. The rear part 23c of the intermediate member 23 of this first board 17 is normally connected to the guide rail 1.
It simply rests on the support collar 20 of No. 4. This is done by sliding the second board 18 forward with respect to the first board 17 as shown in FIG.
This is so that the rear part 23c of the intermediate member 23 can be opened and closed, and luggage can be taken in and out of the storage platform S, or a spare tire can be taken in and out from there. Further, on the lower surface of the rear end of the second board 18,
Support legs 26 are attached to support the weight of the second board 18 on the floor 4 when the second board 18 is slid forward, and a handle 27 is provided on the top surface for supporting the weight of the second board 18 when the second board 18 is slid forward. is installed. This handle 27 also functions as a stopper to prevent the cargo on the second board 18 from moving forward and falling off. Also,
At the front end of the luggage compartment floor 4, the second board 18 is installed.
A bracket 28 is fixed to the second board 18 for receiving the support leg 26 and regulating the forward movement of the support leg 26 to define the forward moving end of the second board 18. In this way, the first board 1 is supported at a constant height from the floor 4 at the rear of the cargo compartment floor 4.
7, a second board 18 overlapping with this is supported so as to be slidable in the front-back direction, thereby forming a cargo storage No. S that can be expanded back and forth. Next, the operation of the above-described embodiment will be explained. First, as shown in FIG. 1, when the rear seat 5 is in use as a seat, the first board 17 and the second board 18 are overlapped as a cargo storage platform S, and these overlapping boards The first and second boards 17, 18 cooperate to form a double floor on the luggage compartment floor 4. Note that the first and second boards 17, 18 and the slide means 16 that slidably connect them to each other can be rotated about the hinge 13 as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. Therefore, luggage or a spare tire can be taken in and out of the storage platform S without any hindrance. In this way, a cargo storage area that is substantially twice as large as the conventional one is formed on the upper surface of the loading platform floor 4 and the upper surface of the double boards 17 and 18, and it is possible to load a large amount of cargo onto these areas. It is possible to store unsightly items on a storage stand S.
By storing it underneath, you can maintain a good appearance of the parts exposed indoors. As shown in FIG. 2, even when the rear seat 5 is folded forward and the effective length of the cargo compartment floor 4 is expanded, the second board 18 is slid forward to accommodate the cargo storage platform S. The area can be expanded. Even in this case, since the rear portion 23b of the intermediate portion 23 of the first board 17 can be opened and closed, luggage or a spare tire can be taken in and out from below the storage platform S without any hindrance. Furthermore, in this example, the first and second boards 1
The legs 10a and 10b for supporting the front legs 10a and 18 are removable from the floor 4, and the sliding means 16 that substantially connects the first board 17 and the second board 18 is attached to the front leg 10a. Since it can be attached and detached, the entire cargo platform can be attached to or removed from the rear cargo floor as necessary. It goes without saying that the scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown in the drawings. for example,
In the illustrated example, a double board consisting of a first board and a second board is supported via four legs erected on the luggage compartment floor 4, but support brackets extending from the luggage compartment side wall, The double board may be supported by using the upper surface of the tire house that bulges out to the rear of the cargo compartment. Furthermore, in the illustrated example,
Although the second board is superimposed on the first board so that it can slide forward, the second board that can be slid forward may be superimposed on the bottom of the first board.
