Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an arrangement structure of a storage section for storing relatively small and lightweight items such as repair and inspection tools and cleaning tools in the trunk room of an automobile.

[Prior art]

As a conventional structure for arranging a storage section for small and lightweight items in a trunk room, as shown in FIG. 6, a space 3 between a rear fender 2 and a floor side 4 is used as a storage section. Note that the reference numeral 1 is a trunk room, and the reference numeral 5 is a side trim formed inside the rear fender 2. The upper end of the rear fender 2 is bent inward to form a drip 2a, and a lid 9 covering the trunk room 1 is engaged with the drip 2a forming portion. Reference numeral 6 is a floor, reference numeral 7 is a floor mat, and reference numeral 8 is a floor member.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, in the conventional arrangement structure of the accessory storage section described above, since the storage section is provided below the floor level, when the cargo L is placed on the storage section, the cargo L is moved from the trunk room 1. There was a problem in that tools and the like inside the storage section could not be taken out unless they were removed or moved.

Furthermore, when rainwater or the like enters the trunk room 1, there is a problem in that stored tools and the like get wet because the storage section is lower than the floor level.

The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the prior art described above, and its purpose is to provide a structure for arranging a storage section in a trunk room, which makes it convenient to take in and take out stored items and prevents the stored items from getting wet due to rainwater, etc. There is a particular thing.

[Means for solving problems]

When considering the storage space for things in the trunk, the inventor realized that the top corner of the side of the trunk is hardly used, and came up with the present invention.

Means for solving the problems will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 showing one embodiment of the present invention.
The side trim 15 in the trunk room 10, which is covered by the fender eave-like extension part 12a that forms the opening of the trunk room 10 of the automobile, opens upward at the upper end corner of the side trim 15 and extends beyond the eave-like extension part into the trunk room. A swing-opening/closing container-shaped storage section (storage container 20A) for storing small items, etc. is provided inside, and this storage section is formed by integral molding on the side trim with a thin hinge section in between. I did it like that.

[Effect]

The upper end corner of the side of the trunk room 10 where the storage section (storage container 20A) is provided is a position that does not interfere with the loading and unloading of the cargo L into and out of the trunk room 10.
This is a place where tools and the like can be taken in and out without being obstructed by the cargo L even if the cargo L is loaded inside. In addition, since the storage section (container 20A) is located above the floor level, trunk room 1
Even if rainwater or the like enters the interior, tools, etc. inside the storage compartment will not get wet.

Further, the storage section is integrally molded with the side trim with the thin hinge section in between, so that the storage section can be formed at the same time as the side trim, without having to be formed separately from the side trim.

Further, the storage portion, which is not large enough to exceed the eave-like extension, is not exposed to the line of sight from above the trunk room.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

1 to 4 are diagrams showing a first embodiment of the present invention.

In these figures, Fig. 1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the trunk room, Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the storage container,
FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of the storage container, FIG. 4a is an explanatory diagram of the state of the storage container during molding, and FIG. 4b is an enlarged sectional view showing the hinge portion of the storage container.

The trunk room 10 includes a floor mat 17 laid on the vehicle body floor 16 and a left rear fender 12.
It is surrounded by the left side trim 15 formed on the inside, the right side trim (not shown) formed on the inside of the right rear fender, the seat back 11 and the trunk lid 19, and is surrounded by the rear fender 12. A synthetic resin accessory storage container 20A is provided at the upper corner position.

The storage container 20A has a deep saucer shape as shown in FIG. 2, and is swingable around a hinge portion 21 connected to the side trim 15.
A flange 22 is formed at the upper end of the outer peripheral wall of the storage container 20A, and a hook 2 is provided at the center in the longitudinal direction of the flange.
3 is installed protrudingly. On the other hand, a drip 12a as a rain gutter is formed on the upper end bent portion 12b of the rear fender 12, and the hook 23 is engaged with a stopper 24 fixed to the lower surface of the drip 12a to lock the storage container 20A. It's getting old. The side wall 20a of the storage container 20A has a third
As shown in the figure, it is inclined by θ with respect to the vertical plane, making the storage container 20A difficult to see in terms of appearance and preventing it from getting in the way of loading and unloading the cargo L.

The hinge part 21 of the storage container 20A is shown in FIG. 4b.
As shown in FIG.
The thin plastic hinge structure is such that the thin part formed thereon serves as the hinge fulcrum and swings. That is, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 4A, the container 20A is also integrally molded when the synthetic resin side trim 15 is molded, and the portion corresponding to the container is shown by the imaginary line from the position of the round groove 21a. It can be bent and used as the container 20A, and there is no need to attach a separately manufactured storage container to the side trim. The inner surface of the container 20A is lined with cloth to improve its appearance and to prevent the occurrence of noise caused by the contents rattling while the vehicle is running.

Further, a handle 26 is formed on the outer surface of the storage container 20A, and the storage container 20A can be held by holding the handle 26.
It is designed to open and close by rotating 0A.
As shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 3, the storage container 20A is held open with its bottom corner 20b abutting the surface of the side trim 15, and in this state objects can be taken in and taken out of the container 20A. To close the storage container 20A, hold the handle 26 and rotate it upward, and the hook 23 will engage with the stopper 24 and be locked. When opening the storage container 20, use the flexibility of the storage container 20A to open the handle 26.
When pushed in, the hook 23 moves away from the stopper 24 and is disengaged, causing the storage container 20 to move away from the stopper 24.
Due to the weight of A, it naturally rotates around the hinge portion 21 and becomes open.

In these figures, reference numeral 14 represents a floor side, reference numeral 18 represents a floor member, and reference numeral 19a represents a lid reinforcing member.

In this embodiment, the storage container 20A is arranged at the upper corner of the side of the trunk 10, so even if there is cargo L in the trunk 10, there is no problem in opening and closing the storage container 20A. This allows for smooth loading and unloading of items. Further, even if rainwater or the like enters the trunk room 10, since the storage container 20A is located above the floor level, there is no problem of the items stored in the storage container 20A getting wet.

FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of the present invention.

In the first embodiment, the bottom of the storage container is located at a distance d (see FIG. 3) from the side trim 15 in order to ensure a swing space for the storage container 20A. This embodiment is characterized in that the bottom of the storage container 20B is formed along the surface of the side trim 15 to increase the storage space within the storage container 20B. A recess 15a corresponding to the corner of the storage container 20B is formed in the side trim 15, and when the storage container 20B is opened, the bottom corner 20b enters into the recess 15a, and the storage container 20B is held in the open state. It's becoming like that. The rest is the same as the first embodiment described above, and the explanation thereof will be omitted by giving the same reference numerals.

Further, in this embodiment, the recess 15a of the side trim
protrudes into the gap 13 between the rear fender 12 and the side trim 15 to close this gap 13. Therefore, in the above embodiment, the side trim 1
Since the upper position of the hinge portion 21 of No. 5 is open, there was a risk that stored items would fall from this opening into the gap 13, but this does not occur in this embodiment.

In addition, in the above-described embodiments, the storage containers 20A, 20 are provided in the side trim 15 on the left side in all cases.
Although the case where B is attached is explained, the storage container may be attached to the right side trim or both left and right side side trims. In addition, if the side trim is not formed inside the rear fender, it can be directly attached to the rear fender.
A storage container may be attached.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, it is possible to effectively utilize unused space in the luggage compartment as a storage area for small items to easily take in and take out stored items. There is no problem of stored items being exposed to rainwater.

Furthermore, since the accessory storage section can be formed at the same time as the side trim, there is no need to attach a separately formed storage section.

Additionally, the accessory storage area is hidden behind the fender's eave-like extension and is completely invisible from above the trunk, giving it a very good exterior appearance.
