As shown by the phantom line in FIG. 5, when the back door b is opened and the luggage is taken in and out, the front hinge pin f can be rotated so that the rear portion of the package tray e can be rotated upward so that the work can be easily performed. Is configured to be rotatable with respect to the front bearing groove d, and the rear hinge pin f is configured to be easily separated from the rear bearing groove d.

[0003]

By the way, when the seat back g of the reclining type rear seat a is tilted rearward, it strikes the package tray e, and an excessive load is applied to the hinge pin f of the package tray e. . In the conventional example, since the support grooves d, d of the tray support bracket e are formed in the vertical direction, the rearward movement of the hinge pin f is prevented and the hinge pin f is damaged,
There is a problem in that the fixing portion of the hinge pin f to the package tray e is damaged.

Incidentally, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 14523/1989 discloses that
Although it is disclosed that the front end of the package tray can be rotated upward with respect to the tray body to avoid interference with the seat back at the time of reclining, the front end of the package tray is rotated upward one by one when reclining. It is inconvenient to use, and has a structure in which the hinge pin is provided only on the front part of the package tray, and the support by the tray support bracket is unstable.

[0005]

In order to solve the problems of the above-mentioned conventional example, the present invention forms bearing grooves in the front and rear portions of the tray support brackets arranged on both sides of the back of the reclining type rear seat, respectively. In the support structure of the package tray of the automobile, which is provided with hinge pins projecting to both sides at the front and the rear of the package tray, respectively, and supports the package tray on the tray support bracket by fitting these hinge pins into the support groove, A part where the bearing groove provided in the front part of the tray support bracket is formed obliquely upward and rearward and is opened rearwardly, and the supporting groove provided in the rear part is formed obliquely rearward and is opened rearward obliquely upward. And a portion formed upward and opened at the top.

[0006]

According to the present invention, as shown by phantom lines in FIG.
When loading or unloading luggage into or from the luggage compartment, if the rear end of the package tray is pivoted upward with the front hinge pin as the pivot point, the rear hinge pin passes through the upper opening of the rear bearing groove. As in the conventional example, the operation of rotating the rear end of the package tray upward can be easily performed, and the luggage can be easily taken in and out.

Further, according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, even if the seat back of the rear seat is tilted rearward and hits against the package tray, the hinge pins at the front and rear portions of the package tray are not supported by the tray. Since it is guided to each of the obliquely rearward opening portions of the bearing grooves provided at the front and rear portions of the bracket and moves obliquely upward and rearward, it is avoided that an impact is applied to the hinge pin, and the hinge pin is damaged or damaged. It is possible to prevent the fixing portion of the hinge pin to the package tray from being damaged.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Reclining rear seat a and back door b
The package tray 1 is arranged in the luggage compartment between and so as to cover the luggage compartment (see FIG. 5). In order to support the package tray 1, tray support brackets 2 are fixedly mounted on the vehicle walls h on both sides of the rear portion of the rear seat a. The tray support bracket 2 is a plate-shaped body extending in the front-rear direction and is horizontally arranged.
It has a pair of bearing grooves 3f, 3r. At the front and rear of the lower surface of the package tray, four fixtures 4, 4,
Have hinge pins 5, 5 ... These hinge pins 5 are provided in the bearing grooves 3f,
It is configured to be introduced and fitted into the 3r, so that the package tray 1 can be attached to the pair of left and right tray support brackets 2.
It is configured to be supported above.

The support groove 3f provided in the front portion of the tray support bracket 2 is formed so as to face obliquely rearward and is open rearwardly obliquely upward. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the supporting groove 3f has a groove width W slightly larger than the diameter D of the hinge pin 5, so that the hinge pin 5 can be easily inserted into and removed from the supporting groove 3f. Has been formed. Further, the base end 6 of the bearing groove 3f is horizontal over a length about twice the diameter D of the hinge pin 5, and the base end 6 is smoothly connected to the oblique portion 7. There is.

A first small protrusion 8 for holding the hinge pin 5 at the innermost position is formed on the base end portion 6, and a second small protrusion 8 for holding the hinge pin 5 at a position slightly moved rearward. Small protrusions 9 are formed. The first small projection 8 and the second small projection 9 are formed so that when the bearing groove 3f of the hinge pin 5 is inserted or removed, a slight force acts so that the hinge pin 5 can pass over these and pass through.

The support groove 3r provided at the rear portion of the tray support bracket is a portion (obliquely rearward opening portion) 10 which is formed obliquely rearward and is opened rearwardly and obliquely upward and upwardly formed. It has an open part (upper open part) 11. The confluence of both parts 10 and 11 is the front support groove 3f.
And a horizontal portion 12 having a substantially circumferential length. An arcuate recess 13 for holding the hinge pin 5 is formed at the front end of the horizontal portion 12. Further, the groove width W of the obliquely upward rear opening portion 10, the upper opening portion 11 and the horizontal portion 12 of the bearing groove 3r

The package tray 1 is supported on the tray support brackets 2 and 2 by inserting the hinge pins 5 into the innermost positions of the support grooves 3f and 3r as shown in FIG. Then, when loading or unloading the luggage into or from the luggage compartment, the package tray 1 is pulled slightly backward, and the hinge pin 5 at the front portion makes the first small protrusion 8 and the second small protrusion 8 as shown by phantom lines in FIGS. 2 and 3. When the rear end of the package tray 1 is rotated upward so as to be positioned between the protrusion 9 and the projection 9, the rear hinge pin 5 passes through the upper opening 11 of the rear support groove 3r and easily moves upward. break away. Therefore, similar to the conventional example, the upper part of the luggage compartment can be opened and the luggage can be easily taken in and out.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, when the seat back g of the rear seat a is tilted rearward so that the seat back g strikes the package tray 1, the hinge pin 5 at the front part of the package tray 1 moves to the front part. As shown by the arrow in the support groove 3f, the rear hinge pin 5 is guided to the oblique portion 7 from the base end portion 6 and moves rearward, and the hinge pin 5 at the rear portion moves in the horizontal portion 12 as shown by the arrow in the rear support groove 3r. The vehicle is guided to the obliquely rearward opening portion 10 and moves rearward. For this reason, the impact on each hinge pin 5 of the package tray 1 is relieved, the hinge pin 5 is damaged, or the hinge pin 5 is packaged on the package tray 1.
It is possible to prevent the fixing part to be damaged.

The present invention can be constructed in various modes other than the above-described embodiment, and for example, the front support groove 3f and the rear support groove 3r can be formed without horizontal portions. Further, the present invention can be applied not only to a vehicle having a flip-up type back door but also to a vehicle having a left-right opening type back door.

[0015]
