[Detailed description of the device] [Industrial applications]

The present invention relates to a hood tensioning structure for an automobile with a hood.

[Prior art and its problems]

In a four-wheel drive vehicle for off-road traveling, it is possible to find a vehicle configured such that the luggage carrier at the rear of the vehicle body is covered with a hood. In such a vehicle with a hood, as shown in FIG. 6, the hood can be mounted by means of a hood bone a mounted on a loading platform.
Is supported, and the bottom of the hood b is hooked to the vehicle body. The hood bone a generally has a gate shape, and a pair of left and right legs c and c whose lower ends are supported by left and right side frame portions of the loading platform so as to be rotatable in the front-rear direction, and upper ends of the legs c and c. And a horizontal portion d extending in the vehicle width direction. When the hood is attached, the hood bone a is erected in a rearwardly inclined shape, and the horizontal portion d of the hood bone a.
The hood a is shaped by supporting the rear upper corner portion e of the hood b that covers the luggage carrier in a box shape. Also,
The hood b is fixed to the horizontal portion d of the hood bone a by a fixing band (not shown) or the like. By the way, in order to make the hood look good and to reduce the fluttering of the hood when traveling, it is necessary to provide the hood with tension. Further, by tensioning the hood strongly, the movement of the hood can be restricted by the hood, and the hood can be prevented from wobbling due to vibration. Therefore, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 6, there is also a hood tensioning structure in which a belt f having an adjustable length that connects the hood b and the loading platform is provided and the hood b is pulled by the belt f. The belt f has an intermediate base end fixed to a rear upper corner e of the hood b. When pulling the hood b, the belt f is hung over the hook g of the loading platform, and both ends of the belt f are stopped by the buckles h, while the belt length is adjusted. However, the above-mentioned hood structure has the following problems. First of all, when the belt is stretched with a strong force, the belt fixed to the hood due to sewing or the like may come off the hood or the hood may be torn. Also, although the belt is attached to the hood, it is difficult to process it when the hood is stored. The belt interferes with the folding of the hood. The present invention has been devised under the circumstances as described above, and provides a hood tensioning structure configured so that the hood can be strongly stretched without the above-mentioned conventional problems. Is its purpose.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following technical means. That is, the invention of the present application is such that the left and right rotatably supported on the luggage carrier at the rear part of the vehicle body so as to be capable of selecting between a state of falling backward along the luggage carrier and a state of standing up in a rearward inclined manner. It has a gate-shaped hood bone having a pair of legs and a horizontal portion extending in the vehicle width direction between the upper ends of the pair of legs, and the cargo bed is box-shaped by the hood bone that is erected rearwardly. An automobile with a hood supporting a rear upper corner of a hood covered with a hood, wherein the rear upper corner of the hood is fixed to the horizontal portion of the hood while one end of a leg of the hood is fixed. A rope-shaped or belt-shaped traction tool that is connected to the cargo bed behind the rotation fulcrum and can connect the legs of the hood and the cargo bed is provided. It is special that the hood bone can be pulled backward. To.

[Function and effect of device]

The hood has a pair of left and right legs that are rotatably supported in the front-rear direction so that it can be selected from a state in which the hood collapses backward along the loading platform and a state in which it stands up in a rearward inclined state, and this pair of legs. It has a horizontal part that extends in the vehicle width direction between the upper ends of the parts. When the hood is stretched, the hood is erected in a rearwardly inclined shape, and the upper horizontal portion of the hood supports a rear upper corner portion of the hood that covers the luggage carrier in a box shape. More specifically, in the horizontal portion, a rear upper corner portion of the hood is fixed by, for example, a belt. When the hood is stretched in this way, the hood is pulled by a towing tool that connects the legs of the hood and the loading platform. The tow tool is connected to the cargo bed at a position rearward of the rotation fulcrum of the leg of the hood. Therefore, the tensile force of the pulling tool acts as a force in the direction of tilting the hood bone rearwardly inclined to the top bone. In addition, since the hood bone is fixed to the upper corner of the rear part of the hood, the rear fall is restricted, so
It does not fall due to the above-mentioned pulling force. The top bone pushes the rear upper corner of the top by receiving the pulling force in the rearward falling direction in this way. And the hood is
When the top corner of the rear part is pushed from the inside by the hood, the ceiling part receives a tensile force. Therefore, the hood can be tensioned. As a result, it is possible to stretch the hood nicely. In addition, the wobble of the top bone is effectively prevented. This is because the movement of the hood bone can be regulated by the hood with sufficient tension and the traction tool. Moreover, it is possible to select a state in which the hood bone is tilted rearward along the loading platform, while the traction tool is connected to the loading platform behind the fulcrum of the legs of the hood, so that the traction is performed. It can be effectively used as a fixing tool for conveniently fixing the hood bone or hood in which the tool is stored on the loading platform. Further, since the tow tool is not fixed to the hood, there is almost no risk of breaking the hood when pulling the hood, unlike the conventional hood tension structure.

[Explanation of Examples]

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a view showing a state in which the hood 3 is stretched, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a state in which the hood 3 is folded. In the case of the automobile with the hood in the illustrated example, two gate-shaped hood bones 1 and 2 are provided. Further, in these drawings, the hood 3 is shown by an imaginary line (dashed-dotted line) so that the support structure of the hood 3 can be clearly understood. The first hood bone 1 provided on the front side has a pair of left and right leg parts 4, 4
And a horizontal portion 5 extending in the vehicle width direction between the upper ends of the legs 4, 4.
With. The leg portions 4, 4 have a lower end portion on the side frame 6 of the loading platform 6.
The link arm 8 is pivotally connected to the upper support bracket 7 so as to be rotatable in the front-rear direction. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1, the first hood bone 1 stands up along the rear edge of the portal frame 9 provided between the operator's cab and the cargo bed 6, and as shown in FIG. It is possible to rotate between the position where the loading platform 3 is laid down on the side frame 6a. As shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of hooks 10 ... Are attached to the rear end of the ceiling portion of the portal frame 9 at appropriate intervals in the vehicle width direction, while Hook holes 11 are provided on the lower surface of the horizontal portion 5 at positions corresponding to the hooks 10 ... When the first hood bone 1 is erected, the hook hole 11 is hooked on the hook 10 to prevent the first hood bone 1 from inadvertently falling. Further, the first hood bone 1 is securely fixed to the luggage carrier 6 by the fixing tool 12. In addition, the outer surface of the leg portions 4, 4 and the horizontal portion 5 has a first
As shown in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6, a retainer plate 13 is attached. This retainer plate 13 ...
In addition, the front end hem of the hood 3 is fixed. On the other hand, the second hood bone 2 provided on the rear side, like the first hood bone 1, also has a pair of left and right leg portions 14,14 and a horizontal portion extending between the upper ends of the leg portions 14,14 in the vehicle width direction. 15 and. Second hood bone 2
Connects the lower end of the leg portion 14 to the bracket 16 attached to the inner wall of the side frame 6a of the luggage carrier 6 in a horizontal direction in the vehicle width direction.
It is supported rotatably in the front-rear direction so that it is possible to select between a stored state in which it collapses backward along the cargo bed 6 and a state in which it stands up in a rearward inclined shape. Also, the second hood 2
As shown in FIG. 1, supports the hood 3 in a state in which it is erected in a rearwardly inclined shape. In this case, the horizontal part of the second hood 2
The hood 3 is shaped by supporting the upper rear corner portion 3a of the hood 3 that covers the cargo bed 6 in a box shape with the use of 15. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of band members 18 are attached to the hood 3 at a portion which becomes the above-mentioned rear upper corner portion 3a when the hood 3 has a box shape. Is fixed to the horizontal portion 15 of the second hood bone 2. When the hood 3 is stretched, the first hood bone 1 is rotated forward,
As shown in FIG. 1, it stands up along the rear edge of the portal frame 9. As a result, the hood 3 having the front end fixed to the first hood bone 1
Is pulled forward while covering the bed 6.
In addition, the second hood bone 2 connected to the hood 3 is rotated upright and erected in a rearwardly inclined shape to support the rear upper corner portion 3a of the hood 3. After this, by the fixing tool 12,
The first hood bone 1 is fixed, and the bottom of the hood 3 is fixed to the cargo bed 6
Hooks attached to the outer surface of the side frame 6a and the rear frame 6b of the
Hook to 19 ... On the other hand, when the hood 3 is to be stored, the hooks at the bottom of the hood 3 are removed, and the first hood bone 1 and the second hood bone 2 are tilted rearward as shown in FIG. Fold it up. Further, the hood bones 1 and 2 folded on the luggage carrier 6 are fixed by the belts 20, 20 attached to the left and right side frames 6a, 6a of the luggage carrier. The belt 20 is a belt stopper attached to the side frame 6a of the luggage carrier 6 behind the pivot of the second hood 2.
It is connected to 21. Further, both ends of the belt 20 can be connected to each other by a buckle 22 provided on one end side, and the belt length can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of insertion of the belt end into the buckle 22. According to the present invention, in such a hood-equipped vehicle, a traction tool for pulling the hood bone supporting the rear upper corner portion 3a of the hood 3 in a rearwardly inclined state in the rearward falling direction is provided. In the case of this example, the second hood bone 2 corresponds to the hood bone. Further, in this example, the belt 20 is used as the pulling tool. When the hood 3 is stretched, as shown in FIG. 1, by the belt 20, the legs 14 of the second hood bone 2 and the loading platform 6 which are erected in the rearward inclined shape.
Connect to. This is done by rolling the belt 20 around the leg portion 14 and stopping both ends thereof with buckles 22. Then, the belt length is adjusted and the second hood bone 2 is pulled by the belt 20. As described above, since the belt 20 is connected to the luggage carrier 6 behind the rotation fulcrum of the second hood bone 2, the pulling force causes the second hood bone 2 to fall backward. Acts as a rotational force in the direction. As a result, the hood 3 has the rear upper corner 3a pushed from the inside by the second hood 2 and therefore the ceiling of the hood 3 is pulled. Therefore, the hood 3 can be tensioned, and the hood 3 can be stretched with a good appearance. Further, since the movement of the second hood bone 2 can be restricted by the tensioned hood 3 and the belt 20, the wobble of the second hood bone 2 can be prevented. The second hood bone 2 is fitted in the corner portion of the hood 3 and is prevented from falling rearward by the hood 3, so that the second hood bone 2 will not fall down due to pulling from the belt 20. Further, in the case of the present invention, even if the hood 3 is tensioned, the belt directly connected to the hood 3 is not pulled. There is no need to worry about breaking. Further, since the belt 20 is used as a fixture for the hood bones 1 and 2 and the hood 3 when the hood is stored, there is no problem in processing the belt. A step portion (not shown) is provided on the outer circumference of the leg portion 14 of the second hood 2, so that the belt 20 can be attached to the step portion when the belt 20 is connected.
If it is fitted in, it is possible to reliably prevent the displacement movement of the belt 20, which is convenient. Further, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. For example, the tractor may not be adjustable in length. In this case, when connecting the pulling tool to the leg of the hood, the pulling force on the hood can be increased or decreased by changing the position of the pulling tool in the axial direction of the leg. Further, the connection structure of the towing tool with the top bone and the bed can be variously changed. For example, by providing a hook at the end of the tow,
The pulling tool may be connected to the hood bone and the cargo bed by hooking the hook of the hood on the hook portion provided on the hood bone and the cargo bed. In this case, if a plurality of hook portions on the hood bone side are provided in the axial direction of the legs, the pulling force with respect to the hood bone can be changed by selecting the hook portion for connecting the pulling tool. Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the automobile with the hood having the two hoods is shown. However, the present invention provides a vehicle of the type in which the hood is supported by one hood or three or more hoods. It can also be applied to types of cars.
