Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a technique for forming a shower curtain chamber by suspending a curtain member below a rear gate that opens upward.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a curtain device for a one-box car, such as the one in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 64-24645, is used to form a space portion shielded from the outside when changing clothes such as an outdrive. A curtain device as shown in FIG. 7 is known. And the former, the actual exploitation 64-
In the case of No. 24645, the curtain rail is attached to the inner peripheral edge of the tailgate of the one-box car in advance, and the curtain is attached to this curtain rail. When the curtain chamber is formed, the tailgate is bounced upward. After raising it, the curtain is opened to create a space that is shielded from the outside.

In the latter case shown in FIG. 7, the suspension band 52 of the curtain frame 51 is hooked on the rear gate G of the vehicle which has been flipped up so as to be wound around the upper surface of the rear gate G. The curtain member 53 is attached to 51.

[0004]

However, in the case of the former Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 64-24645, the curtain and the curtain rail are attached almost fixedly to the vehicle, and therefore, during normal traveling without using the curtain. In addition to the fact that it tends to spoil the aesthetics, it is not easy to remove even when the curtain is dirty, and the height of the curtain cannot be adjusted when the curtain chamber is formed. It wasn't good.

The latter method shown in FIG. 7 in which the hanging band 52 is wound around the upper surface of the rear gate G so as to be hung, not only damages the surface coating of the rear gate 52, but also one person It was difficult to install it, and it was difficult to adjust the height of the curtain.

Therefore, there has been a demand for a shower curtain which can be easily removed and stored compactly when it is not used as a curtain, and can be easily operated when installed and the height of the curtain can be easily adjusted.

[0007]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a shower curtain for a vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the curtain unit is hung below a rear gate that is flipped upward. As a pair, a pair of left and right suspension bands detachably attached to the locking portions on both sides of the rear gate, a curtain frame body attached to the lower end portion of the suspension band, and detachably attachable to the curtain frame body A curtain member is provided.

As described above, the hanging band can be hooked on the locking portions on both sides of the rear gate to hang the hanging band, and can be installed by one person, and when the curtain is not used, it can be removed from the vehicle and accommodated. I can. Further, since the curtain member can be freely attached and detached, for example, washing when it becomes dirty can be easily performed.

According to the second aspect of the invention, the length of the suspension band is adjustable. Then, the length of this hanging band is adjusted to adjust the height of the curtain. Further, according to the third aspect, the curtain frame can be folded substantially at the center. Therefore, when the curtain is not used, the curtain frame can be made small and compact. Incidentally, since the curtain member is, for example, a rubberized cloth, a resin sheet or the like and can be freely folded, the whole can be made compact.

Further, in the present invention, the corner portions at the four corners of the curtain frame body and the corner portions corresponding to the four corners of the upper end portion of the curtain member are provided with the identification marks for mutual alignment. Then, when the curtain is installed, when the curtain member is attached to the curtain frame, if the identification marks are also attached, the entrance of the curtain member can be always directed in the same direction.

According to the present invention, a plurality of mooring portions are provided on the lower end portion of the curtain member. The mooring portion can be fastened by engaging a fastener such as a peg driven into the ground so that the lower end of the curtain member does not roll up even if wind or the like is strong.

4 and a curtain member 5 which is detachably attached to the curtain frame body 3.
Consists of

As shown in FIG. 3, the curtain frame 3 is a half frame 3 formed by bending a pipe member into a substantially U-shape, for example.
a and 3b are connected by a pair of pivot pins 6 and 6 to form a rectangular shape, and as shown in (A), can be folded around the pivot pins 6 and 6. Then, for example, the half frame 3 on one side
One end of b is extended further beyond the position of the pivot pin 6 and bent in a predetermined direction to form a stopper s.
The position of the curtain frame body 3 is regulated at a position forming a flat surface when the curtain frame body 3 is expanded to the state shown in FIG.

Further, U-shaped arm portions a, a projecting upward are provided at substantially intermediate portions of both opposite sides orthogonal to the direction in which the pivot pins 6, 6 are provided. The lower ends of the suspension bands 4 and 4 are attached to the character-shaped arms a and a. Further, corner members 7, ... Which obliquely connect adjacent sides to each other are joined to the four corners of the curtain frame 3, and the corner members 7, ... Are colored in different colors as identification marks. .

The hanging band 4 is provided with a length adjusting tool 8 at its intermediate portion and a hooking tool 9 at its tip. The hook 9 is adapted to be hooked on the locking pin 2 protruding from both side surfaces of the rear gate G, and has a hole into which the locking pin 2 can be inserted. Incidentally, the locking pin 2 is, as shown in FIG.
The tip of the small-diameter shaft portion is a large-diameter portion, and the shape of the hole is such that the upper portion has a smaller diameter in accordance with the small-diameter shaft axis and the lower portion has a larger diameter in accordance with the larger-diameter portion. Therefore, the hook 9
If it is hooked on the locking pin 2 and suspended, it will not come off easily unless it is lifted.

The curtain member 5 is formed of a waterproof material such as a resin sheet or a rubberized cloth, and as shown in FIG. However, the upper and lower sides are open to form a bag. The shape of the upper surface open portion of the curtain member 5 is made to substantially match the shape of the frame body of the curtain frame body 3 that has been developed, and a predetermined interval is provided at the upper end portion of the curtain member 5. A plurality of tape members 11, ... Are attached and attached.
