[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in the luggage door structure described above, the hinge arm 64 has a long curved portion 64C as shown in FIG. 5 in order to avoid interference with the protruding portion 60B. Therefore, there is a problem that the middle portion of the hinge arm 64 largely projects into the luggage room 80, and the luggage storage space in the luggage room 80 becomes small.

As a conventional technique for solving this problem, a structure is disclosed in which the front end of the luggage door is bent when the luggage door is opened, and the pinge arm is made small to increase the amount of luggage stored in the luggage room (Actual exploitation 61-
20768 publication). However, in this case, the structure of the luggage door becomes complicated, resulting in cost increase.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In consideration of the above facts, an object of the present invention is to obtain a luggage door structure which can make a hinge arm small in size with a simple structure and can secure a sufficiently large luggage storage space in a luggage room.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a luggage door in which a gap is formed between a luggage door outer panel and a luggage door inner panel, and one end of which is rotatably supported by an upper back panel. A hinge arm whose end is inserted into the gap and fixed to the luggage door;
The opening for inserting the hinge arm formed in the upper panel, the opening for inserting the hinge arm formed in the luggage door inner panel, and the opening between the two opening edges in the closed state of the luggage door. It is characterized in that it is provided with a weather strip for closely contacting the luggage door inner panel and the upper back panel.

[Action]

In the present invention having the above-described configuration, when the luggage door is opened, one end of the hinge arm is integrally pulled up with the luggage door and pulled up substantially above the vehicle. As a result, the other end of the hinge arm rotates about the shaft fulcrum as a center of rotation in the substantially upward direction of the vehicle, and the intermediate part of the hinge arm is inserted through the hinge arm insertion opening formed in the upper back panel.

Therefore, the hinge arm does not need to be diverted over a long dimension up to the entrance / exit opening edge of the luggage room, the hinge arm can be made small, and the luggage storage space in the luggage room can be sufficiently wide with a simple structure.

Also, since one end of the hinge arm is inserted into the luggage door and is fixed to the luggage door, when the luggage door is in the closed state, the opening for inserting the hinge arm formed in the upper back panel and the luggage door are formed. A weather strip is disposed between the opening edges of the inner panel and the opening for inserting the hinge arm, and the weather strip is in close contact with both of them, so that water and the like can be prevented from entering through the opening.

〔Example〕

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 4, behind the rear seat of the vehicle 10,
A luggage room 12 for storing luggage is provided, and a luggage door 16 is rotatably and pivotally supported above the vehicle in the luggage room 12.

As shown in FIG. 1, the luggage door 16 is composed of a luggage door outer panel 18 arranged above the vehicle and a luggage door inner panel 20 arranged below in the closed state.

An opening 21 is formed at the front end of the luggage door inner panel 20. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the peripheral edge portion of the luggage door inner panel 20 is bent toward the luggage door outer panel 18 side, and the tip end portion thereof is bent further outward at a right angle to form a flange portion 20A.

The flange portion 20A is fixed to the peripheral edge portion 18A of the luggage door outer panel 18 by hemming. Therefore, a gap 22 is formed between the middle portion of the luggage door outer panel 16 and the middle portion of the luggage door inner panel 20.

As shown in FIG. 1, the upper panel 24 is arranged at the rear of the vehicle compartment and separates the vehicle compartment 25 and the luggage room 12. The upper portion of the above-mentioned backup panel 24 projects above the luggage room 12, and the peripheral edge portion 24A forming the inlet opening 34 of the luggage room 12 has its tip portion bent at a right angle to the vehicle upper side, and the flange portion 26. Has become.

A weather strip 30 is fixed to the flange portion 26 from above along the flange portion 26.

The weather strip 30 is made of an elastic material such as rubber, and has a cavity 32 formed at the tip thereof in a state of being attached to the flange portion 26. Therefore, when the luggage door 16 is in the closed state, it is pressed by the luggage door 16 and the upper portion is crushed (states of FIG. 1 and FIG. 3) to be in close contact with the luggage door inner panel 20 and water or the like in the luggage room 12. It is designed to prevent the entry into.

As shown in FIG. 2, the rear window 58 is largely wound in front of the vehicle (leftward in FIG. 2) at both vehicle width direction end portions 58A (the other end portion is not shown). Therefore, both ends 16A of the luggage door 16 in the vehicle width direction protrude significantly toward the front of the vehicle, and if the luggage room inlet opening 34 of the bracket package tray 24 is cut at an acute angle along both ends 16A of the luggage door 16 in the vehicle width direction ( The flange portion 26A shown in phantom in FIG. 2) reduces the rigidity of this portion.
