Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage device provided inside a vehicle such as an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various booths such as maps, tissue papers and cassette tapes are brought into a passenger compartment of a passenger car. These stalls can be placed on the seat if the number of occupants is smaller than the number of occupants, but if the number of occupants is the same as the number of occupants, it becomes difficult to place them on the seat. Also,
Even if it is placed on the floor, it will be in the way of your feet, and placing it on the occupants' knees will also be in the way.

[0003] In addition, it can be placed on an instrument panel or a back panel. However, when acceleration is applied, the studs placed on the instrument panel slide on the panel and move as a source of abnormal noise or fall in some cases. There is a problem. Therefore, a console box is provided between seats in the passenger compartment of a passenger car, so that various booths can be stored. A glove box is also provided on the instrument panel, where various booths can be stored.

On the other hand, in a bus or the like, a shelf is provided between a seat and a ceiling, and luggage can be stored on the shelf.

[0005]

However, since the size of the console box and glove box is limited due to the special environment of the vehicle interior, it is difficult to store relatively large items. For example, the console box is placed in a narrow space between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat, and is provided at a position where it does not hinder the operation of the shift lever. In the glove box, it is provided between the engine room and the cabin, but the mounting density of various equipment in the engine room has become extremely high in recent years, and when the lid is opened, it does not interfere with the passenger in the passenger seat There is also a limit to the volume.

Further, large shelves, which are difficult to store in a console box or glove box of a passenger car, can be stored in a shelf such as a bus. However, since the shelves are fixed to the vehicle body, the space inside the vehicle compartment is narrowed even when no luggage is stored. In addition, the space occupied by the shelf is required to be large, and it is difficult to provide the space in a narrow cabin such as an ordinary car or a mini car.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and can store relatively large luggage even in a narrow cabin such as an ordinary car or a mini car, and can easily store it when not in use. An object of the present invention is to provide a storage device that is removable and does not reduce the space in a vehicle compartment.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A vehicle storage device according to the present invention which solves the above-mentioned problems is characterized by a rail member having a plurality of cutouts fixed to a ceiling of a vehicle compartment and arranged in a longitudinal direction. And a storage member engaged with the notch of the rail member and held detachably on the rail member.

[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In a vehicle storage device according to the present invention, a rail member is fixed to a ceiling of a vehicle compartment. Therefore, by using the storage member that is guided and movable by the rail member, the storage member can be moved along the rail member. Since the fixed rail member has a plurality of notches formed in the longitudinal direction, the relative position of the storage member with respect to the rail member is arbitrarily fixed by engaging the storage member with the notch. can do. Therefore, the degree of freedom of the position of the storage member is high,
In addition, it is possible to prevent the storage member from moving relative to the rail member when acceleration is applied.

As a storage member, for example, a box-shaped storage box is proposed. The storage box is guided by the rail member and movably engages with the rail member, and has an engagement portion that engages with the cutout portion of the rail member. Therefore, the storage box can be moved along the ceiling of the passenger compartment by the guide of the rail member, and can be moved to an arbitrary position within the range where the rail member exists.
By the engagement between the notch and the engaging portion, the relative movement with the rail member is restricted at that position, and the storage box can be fixed and held at that position. The storage box can be fixed to the position, and the movement of the storage box when acceleration is applied can be prevented.

The size of the storage box can be arbitrarily set according to the size of the vehicle compartment, so that a relatively large object can be stored. When the storage box is not used, the storage box is removed from the rail member and stored in a trunk or the like, so that the space in the vehicle compartment is not reduced. It is preferable that the storage box has a structure having an opening serving as a storage opening and a lid member capable of opening and closing the opening.

As the storage member, for example, a net member is proposed. The net member has at least one end with an engaging portion that engages with the notch, and the engaging portion engages with the notch, so that at least one end is held by the rail member. Thus, the net member can be stretched along the ceiling in the vehicle interior, and an object can be stored on the net member.

Further, if the hanger is suspended or the sunshade is suspended using the notch,
The rail member can be used for various purposes for multiple purposes.

The engagement of the shafts 23, 23 'with the notch 11 restricts the movement, and the storage box 2 is held and fixed at that position. When the position of the storage box 2 is changed, the storage boxes 2 can be moved because the shafts 23, 23 'and the notch 11 are disengaged by slightly lifting the storage box 2. In addition, when a product is stored in the storage box 2 or the stored product is taken out, for example, the knob 30 that is exposed on the lid member 22 is pressed downward, thereby engaging the locking claw 31 with the substrate 20. The lid member 22 swings downward as shown in FIG. 6, so that an opening 25 is formed at the front end or the rear end of the storage box 2, and an object can be put in and out of the storage box 2 through the opening 25. it can.

That is, according to the storage device of this embodiment, the storage box 2 is provided on the ceiling of the automobile. Therefore, the length of the rail members 1, 1 'can be increased to about the entire length of the passenger compartment, and the distance between the rail members 1, 1' can be increased to about the width of the ceiling. The degree of freedom is extremely high, and a large object can be stored by effectively utilizing the space in the vehicle compartment. Further, since the storage box 2 is movable in the front-rear direction, its position can be freely changed within the range where the rail members 1 and 1 'are provided, and the usability is good.

Further, the lid members 22, 22 'are
As a result, the lid members 22 and 22 ′ are prevented from swinging even when acceleration is applied to the automobile, thereby preventing a problem that the opening is opened and the stored items fall. Have been. Further, in the storage device of this embodiment, by opening the ends of the rail members 1 and 1 ',
The storage box 2 can be removed from the rail members 1 and 1 ', and can be stored in a trunk or the like. Therefore, the vehicle interior can be widely used when not in use.
