2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 2, a structure for connecting a top side frame member of a luggage box to a roof and side walls in a van type vehicle is described.
This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 shows III-III of FIG.
FIG.

In FIG. 3, 31 is a ceiling plate, 32 is an upper frame member, 33 is an outer plate, 34 is a roof joist, 35 is a side pillar, 3
6 is a ceiling lining board, 37 is a side lining board. Each member is fixed with rivets.

The upper frame member 32 is mainly composed of the flange portion 3.
2F, horizontal step 32H, flange 32F and horizontal step 3
It is composed of a vertical rib portion 32V connecting 2H and a side plate portion 32S. The flange portion 32F is riveted to the side edge of the ceiling plate 31. The side plate portion 32S is riveted to the side column 35 and the outer plate 33.

Here, the conventional upper side frame member 32 has a lateral recess A formed of a flange portion 32F, a vertical rib portion 32V and a horizontal step portion 32H. This allows
The side edge of the ceiling plate 31 is connected to the flange portion 32F of the upper side frame member 32.
It is possible to secure the escape of the rivet driving machine when fixing with rivets.

[0006]

However, the conventional structure of the upper frame member having the lateral recess A has the following drawbacks. That is, when the packing box 22 is viewed from the side of the van type vehicle 21, the packing box has a stepped box shape due to the lateral recess A, which is not only inferior in aesthetic effect but also aerodynamic. It also had a bad effect on the characteristics.

In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, the present invention provides a decorative structure for the corners of the upper frame to enhance the aesthetic effect of the luggage box of a van type vehicle and further improve the aerodynamic characteristics as a synergistic effect. To do.

The upper hook 1e is provided at the right end.

The lower hook portion 1g is located at the right end of the lower horizontal portion 1f,
Lower hook portion 1 provided on the horizontal step portion 12H of the upper side frame member 12
It is hooked to 2g.

The upper hook portion 1e is located at the right end of the upper horizontal portion 1d,
Upper hook 12 provided on the flange 12F of the upper frame member 12
caught on e.

The pressure contact portion 1c is located at the top of the cover member 1. The pressure contact portion 1c has a flat shape, and the seal member 18
It is a portion that is pressed into contact with the folded-back portion of the ceiling plate 11 via. The seal member 18 can prevent rainwater and the like from entering the lateral recess A of the upper frame member 12 through the gap between the folded portion of the ceiling plate 11 and the pressure contact portion 1c.

The projecting portion 1a is provided at the corner where the curved portion 1b and the horizontal portion 1f intersect, and the horizontal step portion 12H of the upper frame member 12 is provided.
12a provided at the corner of intersection between the side plate 12S and the side plate 12S
Mate with.

Next, the upper frame member 12 will be described.
The upper frame member 12 of this embodiment includes a flange portion 12F for riveting the side edge of the ceiling plate 11, a horizontal step portion 12H,
It is common to the conventional upper side frame member 32 in that it has a vertical rib portion 12V connecting these, and that the outer plate 13, the side column 15, and the side plate portion 12S are riveted. Upper frame material 1 of this embodiment
2 is characterized in that an upper hooking portion 12e and a lower hooking portion 12g for mounting the cover member 1 are provided.

The upper retaining portion 12e is an upper retaining portion of the cover member 1.
It is hooked with 1e. The upper hooking portion 12e is provided at the corner where the flange portion 12F and the vertical rib portion 12V intersect.

The lower hook portion 12g is the lower hook portion 1g of the cover member 1.
Is hung up. The lower hook portion 12g is provided on the horizontal step portion 12H substantially directly above the side lining plate 17.

[0021]

[Effect of the Invention] Since the lateral recess of the upper frame member is covered with the cover member and the flange portion and the side plate portion of the upper frame member are smoothly continuous, the aesthetic effect of the luggage box of the van type vehicle is enhanced. At the same time, the aerodynamic characteristics can be improved.
More specifically, the air resistance coefficient during traveling can be reduced, and the traveling stability when receiving a side wind can also be improved.

Since the cover member is a member having an inverted U-shaped cross section extending in the longitudinal direction of the cargo box, various appearances can be easily obtained by adding the cover member without changing the basic structure of the cargo box. Obtainable. Moreover, since the positional relationship among the upper hooking portion, the pressure contact portion, and the lower hooking portion has been devised, it is easy to fit into the lateral recess.
