Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a device for locking a rear shelf of a vehicle in place.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 When a conventional vehicle has a movable rear shelf that opens and closes the rear luggage compartment in response to opening and closing of the tail gate, as shown in FIG. 3, the rear shelf 20 and the tail gate 21 are closed. When the vehicle is in motion, the damper rubber 22 attached to the rear edge of the rear shelf 20 is compressed by the trim 23 fixed to the tail gate 21, and the reaction force of the damper rubber 22 holds the rear shelf 20 in that position even when the vehicle is running. However, after that, the edge was prevented from rising.

However, when the clearance between the rear edge of the rear shelf 20 and the trim 23 of the tailgate 21 becomes large due to a vehicle assembly error or the like, the compression force of the damper rubber 22 by the trim 23 becomes weaker than expected, and in particular, Due to the structure of the vehicle or the design, when the surface of the trim 23 with which the damper rubber 22 abuts is arranged almost vertically, the vehicle runs on a rough road and an upward inertial force is applied to the rear shelf 20. When returning, the damper rubber 22 is likely to gradually slide up, and the damper rubber 22 may come off above the trim 23 while the vehicle is traveling, causing the rear edge of the rear shelf 20 to flap, which may cause abnormal noise. .

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The purpose of the present invention is to prevent the rear edge of the rear shelf, which comes into contact with the trim such as the tailgate, from being inadvertently lifted up by vibration of the vehicle.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve this object, a rear shelf locking device according to the present invention comprises a movable rear shelf having a damper rubber attached to a rear edge thereof, and a tail gate having a trim for compressing the damper rubber fixed inside when closed. In the vehicle having the above, the vehicle is provided with a locking portion that protrudes inward of the trim above the damper rubber or the rear end edge of the rear shelf and that prevents the rear end edge of the rear shelf from rising.

[0006]

[Action]

 Therefore, even if the damper rubber on the rear edge of the rear shelf compressed by the trim such as the tail gate is displaced upward due to vibrations during vehicle running, and the rear edge of the rear shelf tries to float up, the damper rubber or the rear shelf will be lifted. The rear edge engages with the locking part that protrudes inward of the trim to prevent the above-mentioned floating, so the damper rubber may come off the trim and the rear shelf rear edge may float in the air, causing the rear shelf to flap. Is reliably prevented.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described. In FIG. 1, a movable rear shelf 1 for a small passenger car, a hatchback, a wagon, etc. is pivotally supported by a vehicle body (not shown), a rear seat, etc. by a front shaft 2, and damper rubbers are respectively provided at two positions in a vehicle width direction of a rear end edge 3 thereof. 4 is fixed. On the other hand, a trim 6 is fixed to the inside of the tail gate 5, and when the tail gate 5 is closed upward from a state in which the tail gate 5 is opened upward around a spindle at the rear end of a roof panel (not shown), the tail gate 5 is normally closed. The rear shelf 1 suspended from the gate 5 with a string or the like rotates downward about the shaft 2 and stops at the position shown by an unillustrated stopper on the inner side surface of the vehicle body to close the lower luggage compartment 7, The tail gate 5 is fully closed as shown, and the trim 6 comes into contact with the damper rubber 4 on the rear shelf rear edge 3 to compress the damper rubber 4. A rear glass 8 is attached to the tail gate 5.

At this time, the protrusions 9 integrally formed with the trim 6 at the inner positions of the trim 6 corresponding to the damper rubber 4 come into contact with the upper surface of the damper rubber 4 to further strengthen the compression of the damper rubber 4, and / or the damper rubber 4 Since the contact area between the damper rubber 4 and the trim 6 is increased as well as the upward displacement of the damper rubber 4 is increased, the damper rubber 4 is always locked to the trim 6 even if an upward inertial force acts on the rear shelf 1 while the vehicle is traveling. However, the rear edge 3 of the rear shelf does not float up and no strange noise is produced, no matter how the vehicle runs on a bad road.

In addition, even if the damper rubber 4 and the protrusion 9 are slightly displaced from each other due to an error in assembling the vehicle to form a gap, the damper rubber 4 is locked by the engagement of the damper rubber 4 and the protrusion 9 as described above. It is reliably prevented that the rear shelf rear edge 3 is lifted off from the trim 6. Further, the protrusion 9 may be small enough to suppress the upward displacement of the damper rubber 4, and even if it is integrally formed with the trim 6, it does not cause an extra cost increase.

Next, when the tail gate 5 is opened from the closed state, the tail gate 5 first rotates upward to separate the protrusion 9 of the trim 6 from the damper rubber 4, and then the tail gate 5 is connected to the tail gate 5. The rear shelf 1 is pulled up by a strap or the like, and the rear shelf 1 is pivoted upward about the shaft 2 so that the luggage compartment 7 can be opened without any trouble.

For convenience of vehicle body design, etc., the trim of the tail gate 5 that compresses the damper rubber 4 of the rear shelf rear edge 3 when the tail gate 5 is fully closed, and the upper part of the damper rubber 4 are placed inside the trim. It goes without saying that the trim having the protruding protrusions may be separately fixed to the tailgate 5.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, one end of a metal plate or a resin plate 11 is fixed by screws 12 at one position or at several positions in the vehicle width direction at the upper end of the trim 10 fixed inside the tail gate 5. The other end 13 of the plate member 11 that bends and extends into the vehicle interior lightly and elastically contacts the upper surface of the rear end edge 3 of the rear shelf 1 when the tail gate 5 is fully closed, or moves upward with a small gap. positioned. Therefore, similarly to the above-described embodiment, even when the rear shelf 1 receives an upward inertial force while the vehicle is traveling, the rear shelf rear end edge 3 and the other end 13 of the plate member 11 are engaged with each other, so that the rear shelf rear end 1 is engaged. It is reliably prevented that the damper rubber 4 of the edge 3 comes off the trim 10 and the rear edge 3 of the rear shelf rises, and there is no possibility of noise generation due to the flap of the rear shelf 1.

[0013]

[Effect of the device]

 In the rear shelf locking device according to the present invention, even if the damper rubber at the rear end edge of the rear shelf is displaced upward due to vibration or the like when the vehicle is traveling, the locking portion where the damper rubber or the rear end edge of the rear shelf projects inside the trim. Since the rear edge of the rear shelf is prevented from rising by engaging with the rear shelf, it is possible to reliably prevent the rear edge of the rear shelf from fluttering due to the damper rubber coming off the trim. You can
