Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure of a holding member which is provided on the back side of a lid of a luggage compartment of a vehicle and holds the lid in an open state.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there has been an increasing trend toward suburban activities using cars. As a car that meets such a purpose, RV (Recreation Vehicle)
e) is receiving attention.

In a vehicle such as an RV, a space for loading luggage is usually provided between a rear seat and a rear window. Further, as shown in FIG. 17, a luggage compartment 2 for accommodating spare tires and other small articles is provided in the lower part of this space. A lid 4 is attached to the upper portion of the luggage compartment 2.

By the way, when the lid 4 is opened to take out the luggage, if one tries to hold the lid 4 with one hand and try to take out the luggage with the other hand, the work is inevitably inconvenient. I don't get it.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 18, a hook 8 to which a cord 6 is connected is provided on the lid 4, and the hook 8 is hung on the edge of the roof of the car, so that both hands of the operator are released and workability is improved. There are things I tried to improve.

[0006]

By the way, the string 6 and the hook 8 need to be pulled out from the vicinity of the locking means 9 of the lid 4 in order to maintain the balance of the lid 4 when opened. In this case, there is a possibility that a part of the long string 6 will be entangled in the locking means 9 and the lid 4 cannot be released or locked by the locking means 9.

In order to avoid such a problem, there is a device provided with a winding mechanism for winding the cord 6, but there is a problem that the cost increases accordingly. Further, when the lid 4 is closed, it is conceivable to wind the cord 6 around the rod and store it. However, this is not only a troublesome operation, but also the winding operation itself may be forgotten. Further, it is conceivable that the hook 8 is housed in a place apart from the locking means 9 to prevent the string 6 from getting entangled in the locking means 9, but in such a case, the existence of the hook 8 is checked by the operator. There will be a problem of forgetting.

Therefore, the present invention can be stored without causing a malfunction of the locking means of the lid of the luggage compartment,
Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a structure of a lid opening holding member that can be configured at low cost.

[0009]

According to the present invention, there is provided a flexible tubular member which extends away from the vicinity of the locking means for closing the lid of the luggage compartment of the vehicle. Insert the string through and connect the hook to the end. The hook is retained by being inserted between the tubular member and the lid. In this case, since the string is guided by the tubular member in a direction away from the locking means, a situation such as entanglement is avoided.

Further, a protrusion is provided at the end of the hook to which the cord is connected to avoid the situation in which the cord moves over the protrusion and moves to the locking means side.

Further, a holding tool which is opened in the take-out direction of the string is provided, and a part of the string is locked to the holding tool to further prevent it from being entangled.
