The purpose of the present invention is to provide a luggage compartment cover device.

[Summary of the idea]

The present invention has a core material attached to the tip of a cover sheet pulled out from a winding section, and this core material is engaged with a hook member to cover the cargo space below the cover sheet. In the cover device,
forming an opening in the hook member for allowing the core material to escape downward from the hook member;
The opening is partially closed, and when the load that comes into contact with the core material and acts on the core material is less than a predetermined value, the core material is supported, and when a load that exceeds a predetermined value is applied to the core material, it is bent and the core material is supported. It is characterized by the provision of a spring member that allows escape from the opening.

According to the present invention having such a configuration, when no baggage is placed on the cover sheet, the load acting on the core material is below a predetermined value and the spring member supports the core material; If an excessive load is applied to the core material through the cover sheet, such as by accidentally placing luggage on the cover sheet, the spring member bends due to this load, allowing the core material to escape from the opening of the hook member. Therefore, the cover sheet is wound up by the winding section, and the load is only momentarily applied, and the cover sheet, core material, etc. are not damaged.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the cover sheet 17 of the luggage compartment cover device of the present invention in a pulled out state, and each casing holder 8 has one end wall 10 and a cylindrical body connected to this end wall 10. 11. This cylindrical body 11 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, and a concave portion 12 depressed in an arc shape is formed in the front portion of the cylindrical body 11 diagonally downward from the center. Further, a cylinder 1 is provided at the inner rear part of the cylinder 11.
1, an arcuate auxiliary wall 13 is formed concentrically with the cylindrical body 11 and spaced apart from the cylindrical body 11, and an arcuate and elongated auxiliary wall 13 is formed between the cylindrical body 11 of both casing holders 8, 8 and the auxiliary wall 13. Both ends of a plate-shaped casing 14 are inserted and fixed with screws 15.

A winding shaft 16 is rotatably supported between the two casing holders 8, 8, and this winding shaft 16 is given the habit of rotating clockwise in FIG. 2 by a spring (not shown). The proximal end of a cover sheet 17 is attached to the winding shaft 16 in the exposed area between the two casing holders 8, 8, and in the free state, the cover sheet 17 is almost unrolled by the action of the spring. The entire length is wound around a winding shaft 16.

As shown in FIG. 1, the cover sheet 17 has a substantially U-shaped notch 18 at the center in the width direction at the tip thereof.
A cylindrical core member 19 extending in the width direction of the cover sheet 17 is inserted and supported at the tip end of the cover sheet 17. This core material 1
The central part of the core material 19 in the axial direction is exposed in the notch 18, and both ends of the core material 19 are connected to the cover sheet 1.
The protrusions 20 protrude from both sides of the protrusion 7, and each of the protrusions 20 is covered with a cylindrical cover 21 formed in a cylindrical shape. Further, a handle 22 having rigidity is provided on the core material 19 exposed in the notch 18.
are fitted relatively tightly, and the handle 22 can rotate around the core member 19 under its own weight.

A hook member 23 for pulling out the cover sheet 17 from the winding shaft 16 of the winding unit 7 and holding it in a state covering the luggage compartment is attached to both side walls 24 of the vehicle compartment 1 (only one is shown), as shown in FIG. ) is installed. As shown in detail in FIGS. 3 and 4, this hook member 23 has a base plate 26 attached to the side wall 24 with screws 25, and the base plate 26 on the side closer to the winding section 7 includes: A block-shaped support 27 is provided protrudingly, and a support plate 28 extending parallel to the substrate 26 is provided protrudingly from the tip of this support 27. A receiving portion 30 recessed in an arc shape is formed on the upright surface 29 of the support plate 28 on the side away from the winding portion 7;
The cylindrical cover 21 is held within this receiving portion 30.

A guide plate 31 is provided at the rear of the substrate 26 and is spaced apart from the substrate 28 and protrudes upward from the substrate 28.
An arcuate and concave guide surface 33 is formed in a protruding manner to face the receiving portion 30 of the substrate 28 and for introducing the cylindrical cover 21 into the receiving portion 30 . An opening 34 is formed between the support body 27 and the guide plate 31 for allowing the cylindrical cover 21 to escape from the hook member 23 to the outside. A leaf spring 35 is attached with screws 36 to prevent the cylindrical cover 21 from escaping from the opening 34 . Therefore, when the load acting on the cylindrical cover 21 via the cover sheet 17 exceeds the set value set by the leaf spring 35, the leaf spring 35 is bent downward and the cylindrical cover 21 will escape to the outside through the opening 34 of the hook member 23.

Returning to FIGS. 1 and 2, first adhesive portions 38 of a plurality of hook-and-loop fasteners 37 are sewn to the lower surface of the tip of the cover sheet 17 at intervals in the width direction. A second adhesive part 40, which is sewn to a sheet-like curtain member 39 covering the front of the luggage compartment, is removably attached to the first adhesive part 38.

Next, the operation of the embodiment described above will be explained.

When the cover sheet 17 is wound around the winding shaft 16 of the winding section 7 by the action of a spring (not shown), the cylindrical covers at both ends of the core material 19 supported by the tip of the cover sheet 17 Since the cover 21 is received in the recess 12 formed in the casing holder 8, the cylindrical cover 21 is stably held in the recess 12 even when the automobile vibrates, so that no abnormalities can occur. There is no risk of noise being generated.

From this state, pick up the handle 22, rotate it forward, pull out the cover sheet 17 against the spring of the winding shaft 16, and move both cylindrical covers 21 to the guide plates 31 of both hook members 23. When the cover sheet 17 is fitted into the receiving portion 30 along the surface 33 and the handle 22 is released, the cover sheet 17 is held in tension because it is biased by the spring in the winding direction. and covers the upper part of the luggage compartment. At this time, the cover sheet 17 can cover all the way to the end of the luggage compartment, and the handle 22 fits into the notch 18 at the tip, which is the only opening formed in the cover sheet 17. Because of this, it is not possible to see inside the cargo compartment from above. Furthermore, by attaching the curtain member 39 to the cover sheet 17 as necessary, it becomes impossible to see into the luggage compartment from the front.

As described above, if a heavy load is accidentally placed on the cover sheet 17 while the luggage compartment is covered with the cover sheet 17, this load will be transferred from the cover sheet 17 to each cylindrical cover 21 via the core material 19.
, and a diagonally downward force acts on the cylindrical cover 21. This force causes the leaf spring 35 to bend downward, causing the cylindrical cover 21 to escape from the hook member 23 through the opening 34. Then, the cover sheet 17 to which the cylindrical cover 21 is attached
Since the spring of the winding shaft 16 gives the cover sheet 17 a winding habit, the cover sheet 17 is wound up. Therefore, since the load of the cargo acts on the cover sheet 17 only momentarily, there is no fear that the winding shaft 16, the cover sheet 17, the core material 19, the cylindrical cover 21, the hook member 23, etc. will be damaged.

In this way, according to this embodiment, the cover sheet 1
7, each cylindrical cover 21 is fitted into the recess 12 of the casing holder 8, so there is no risk of abnormal noise occurring even if the automobile vibrates, and in this state, the handle 22 It is compact because it hangs down due to its own weight. On the other hand, handle 2
2 and pull out the cover sheet 17, and when both the cylindrical covers 21, 21 are engaged with the hook members 23 and the cover sheet 17 is held in the drawn state, the cover sheet 17 covers the end of the luggage compartment. You can also cover sheet 1
There is no possibility that the inside of the 7 can be seen from above. Furthermore, when the core material 19 is pushed by placing luggage on the cover sheet 17 or by folding down the backrest of the driver's seat 2, the leaf spring 35 is bent downward and the cylindrical cover 21 is pushed out from the opening 34. It escapes to the outside of the hook member 23 and the cover sheet 17 is wound around the winding shaft 16 by the spring, thereby damaging the winding shaft 16, the cover sheet 17, the core material 19, the cylindrical cover 21, the hook member 23, etc. There is no fear. Furthermore, by varying the spring constant of the leaf spring 35, the set load for removing the cylindrical cover 21 can be easily adjusted.

[Effect of idea]
