When the opening / closing body 11 is removed from the luggage carrier 12, the first hinge mail 31 side of the opening / closing body 11 is parallel to the slit 21d while holding the opening / closing body 11 so that the first hinge mail 31 is parallel to the slit 21d. The first hinge mail 31 is pulled out obliquely upward and outward from 12 to be disengaged from the through hole 21c and the slit 21d, and the second hinge mail 32 is pulled out from the through hole 22c.

[0007]

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the opening / closing body is a tailgate 11 in this example, and the tailgate 11 is provided at the rear end of the luggage carrier 12 of the truck 10. The lower left and right ends of the tailgate 11 are attached to the luggage carrier 12 via a pair of hinge devices 13 and 14. Further, a pair of posts 16 and 17 are provided at positions facing the left and right end surfaces of the tailgate 11 with the rear end of the luggage carrier 12 closed by the tailgate 11 (FIG. 5). A pair of cutouts 11a and 1b are formed at the lower left and right ends of the tailgate 11, and a pair of hinge devices 13 and 14 are arranged in the cutouts 11a and 11b, respectively (FIGS. 1 and 2). And FIG. 4).

The hinge device 13 on the right side is a first hinge mail 21 fixed near the right end of the rear end of the luggage carrier 20, and a first hinge mail fixed to the lower right end of the tailgate 11 so as to face the mail 21. And 31. The first hinge female 21 is formed by bending a flat bar into an L shape, and is provided with a predetermined distance from the base 21a fixed to the rear end surface of the floor member 12a of the platform 12 and the inner surface of the post 16. 12 and a female main body 21b protruding rearward. A through hole 21c is formed substantially in the center of the female main body 21b in the vehicle width direction, and a slit 21d having a width smaller than the diameter of the through hole 21c is formed in the female main body 21b from a diagonally upper rear of the loading platform 12 toward the through hole 21c. Formed (FIGS. 1, 3 and 4).

The first hinge mail 31 has a large-diameter base 31 a fixed to the side surface of the cutout 11 a at the lower right end of the tailgate 11, and a plate-shaped mail body 31 b fixed to the surface of the base 31. . The base 31a is formed by punching a steel plate. The mail body 31b is formed by a flat bar having a thickness slightly smaller than the width of the slit 21d and a width slightly smaller than the diameter of the through hole 21c. The width direction of the mail main body 31b is fixed to the side surface of the cutout portion 11a via the base 31a so as to match the height direction of the tailgate 11 (FIGS. 1, 3, and 4). A cushion rubber 18 having an outer diameter substantially the same as that of the base 31a is fitted into the mail main body 31b and attached to the surface of the base 31a (FIGS. 1 and 4).

The left hinge device 14 includes a second hinge mail 22 fixed near the left end of the rear end of the luggage carrier 12, and a second hinge mail fixed to the lower left end of the tailgate 11 so as to face the mail 22. And 32. The second hinge film 22 is formed by bending a flat bar into an L shape, and is provided with a predetermined interval from the base 22a fixed to the rear end surface of the floor member 12a of the loading platform 12 and the inner surface of the post 17. 12 and a female main body 22b protruding rearward. A through hole 22c is formed substantially in the center of the female body 22b in the vehicle width direction (FIGS. 2 and 4).

The second hinge mail 32 has a large-diameter base 32a fixed to the side surface of the notch 11b at the lower left end of the tailgate 11, and a shaft-shaped mail body 32b fixed to the surface of the base 32a. . The base 32a is formed by punching out a steel plate, and the mail body 32b is formed by round steel having an outer diameter slightly smaller than the through hole 22c. Further, the cushion rubber 19 having an outer diameter substantially the same as that of the base 32a is fitted into the mail main body 32b and attached to the surface of the base 32a (FIGS. 2 and 4).

An operation of the vehicle hinge device for an opening / closing body configured as described above will be described. When attaching the tailgate 11 to the luggage carrier 12, first, the tailgate 11 is held so that the mail main body 31b of the first hinge mail 31 is parallel to the slit 21d of the first hinge mail 21 (FIG. 3). Next, in this state, the mail main body 32b of the second hinge mail 32 fixed to the lower right end of the tailgate 11 is inserted into the through hole 22c of the second hinge mail 22 in the direction indicated by the broken arrow in FIGS. The mail body 31b of the first hinge mail 31 is inserted into the through hole 21c through the slit 21d in the direction indicated by the solid line arrow in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4. The tailgate 11 can be attached to the luggage carrier 12 by such a simple operation. Even if the tailgate 11 attached to the bed 12 is slanted in the vehicle width direction with respect to the bed 12, the cushion rubber 18 is attached to the main body 21b of the first hinge female 21 or the cushion rubber 19 is attached to the second hinge female 22. By making contact with the female main body 22b, the metal-to-metal contact can be prevented, so that no abnormal noise is generated.

When removing the tailgate 11 from the luggage carrier 12, first, the tailgate 11 is held so that the mail main body 31b of the first hinge mail 31 is parallel to the slit 21d. Then, in this state, the first hinge mail 31 side of the tailgate 11 is pulled up diagonally upward and rearward of the loading platform 12 in parallel with the slit 21d to disengage the first hinge mail 31 from the through hole 21c and the slit 21d. Further, the mail main body 32b of the second hinge mail 32 is pulled out from the through hole 22c. The tailgate 11 can be removed from the luggage carrier 12 by such a simple operation.

In the above embodiment, the tailgate of the truck is used as the opening / closing member, but this is only an example and may be a back door of a cover-top type vehicle, a van type vehicle or other vehicles. In this case, the back door is provided at the rear end of the luggage compartment. Further, in the above embodiment, the hinge device 13 is provided at the lower right end of the tailgate 11 and the hinge device 14 is provided at the lower left end, but the invention is not limited to this, and the hinge device 14 is provided at the lower right end of the tailgate 11 and the lower left end is provided. The hinge device 13 may be provided in the. Further, in the above embodiment, the cushion rubbers 18 and 19 are attached to the surfaces of the bases 31a and 32a of the first hinge mail 31 and the second hinge mail 32, respectively. The cushion rubbers 18 and 19 may be attached to the surfaces of the hinge main body 21b and 22b of the second hinge mail 22 facing the bases 31a and 32a, respectively.

[0015]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the plate-shaped first hinge female member projecting rearward from either the left or right of the rear end of the luggage carrier or the luggage compartment is connected to the vehicle from one of both ends of the opening / closing body. A plate-shaped first hinge mail projecting in the width direction forms a slit and a through hole that can be inserted / removed, and a plate-shaped first hinge projecting rearward from either the left or right of the rear end of the luggage carrier or the luggage compartment. Since the 2nd hinge female has a through hole into which the axial second hinge mail protruding in the vehicle width direction can be inserted and removed at the other end of the opening and closing body, the opening and closing body can be easily attached to and detached from the luggage carrier or luggage compartment. it can. Moreover, since the parts can be manufactured more easily than the conventional hinge mechanism, the manufacturing cost can be slightly increased.
