Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a luggage carrier vehicle such as a truck or a panel van for protecting a luggage or a vehicle body by preventing the luggage from hitting the vehicle body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, when a load is loaded on a truck bed, the load may violently hit the rear panel of the cabin or the gates on both sides, and one or both of the rear panel and the gate and the load may be damaged. In addition, even when the vehicle body shakes or vibrates during running, or when the vehicle suddenly starts and stops, the load may hit the rear panel of the cabin or the gates on both sides and may be damaged. For this reason, conventionally, a plywood (plywood) has been attached to the rear panel of the cabin or the inner surface of the gate to prevent damage. However, there is a problem that the work of cutting and pasting the plywood is troublesome, and the plywood has poor cushioning properties and is easily damaged.

[0003]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made under the above circumstances, and a technical problem thereof is to prevent direct contact between a vehicle body and luggage and to prevent the vehicle body and the load from being brought into contact with each other. The purpose is to allow both luggage to be protected.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems As means for effectively solving the above-mentioned technical problems, a cushion protector for a transport vehicle according to the present invention has an elongated rod shape formed of an elastic polymer material, The rear portion is fixed to an arbitrary position on the inner surface of the luggage or luggage compartment of the vehicle via the fixing means, and the front portion projects inward from the inner surface of the luggage or luggage compartment. That is, it is possible to prevent the baggage or the inner surface of the luggage compartment from coming into contact with the load by the intervention of the cushion protector. At the time of fixing to the inner surface of the luggage carrier or the luggage compartment, it can be cut to an arbitrary length in accordance with the length of the mounting portion and the like.

The term "polymer material having elasticity" used herein refers to various rubber materials, soft thermoplastic plastics such as polyvinyl chloride, polyester, and styrene, and urethane foam. And a material having properties as an elastomer. As the "fixing means", various adhesives and pressure-sensitive adhesives, a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, and the like are typically selected. The "inside surface of the luggage carrier or luggage compartment" refers to, for example, the inner surface of the luggage compartment gate in a truck, the back panel of the cabin, or the wall of the luggage compartment in a panel van. Further, "the front portion protrudes inward from the inner surface of the luggage compartment or the luggage compartment" means that a raised surface is formed on the inner surface of the luggage compartment or the luggage compartment (the inner surface of the gate of the luggage compartment or the back panel of the cabin). When the cushion protector is located, the front portion of the cushion protector protrudes from the raised surface.

[0006] As a more preferable configuration added in the present invention, the cushion protector has a substantially semi-cylindrical appearance, and a plurality of ridges extending parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction are formed on a raised front portion. With such a shape, even if the load is pressed, the load does not come into close contact with each other, and the frictional force is increased, so that the load shift due to vibrations during traveling can be effectively prevented.

[0007] In another preferred configuration added in the present invention, the cushion protector has a hollow structure having a cavity penetrating in a longitudinal direction between a front portion and a rear portion thereof, wherein the front portion and the rear portion are formed. The cavity is elastically connected by a required number of ribs that partition the cavity in the width direction.
That is, in this cushion protector, a front portion which comes into contact with the load loaded in the loading platform or the luggage compartment is elastically supported on a rear portion bonded to the inner surface of the loading platform or the luggage compartment via a required number of ribs.

In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cushion protector has a plurality of strip-shaped adhesive surfaces extending longitudinally on the rear surface thereof and fixed to the inner surface of the vehicle carrier or luggage compartment. You. That is, according to this configuration, the entire rear surface of the cushion protector is not adhered, so that the work of attaching the cushion protector to the inner surface of the luggage carrier or the luggage compartment can be easily performed.

[0009] In another preferred configuration added in the present invention, the cushion protector has an undulating shape corresponding to the undulation of the inner surface of the vehicle carrier or luggage compartment on the back surface thereof. In this way, the vehicle can be mounted in a stable state in conformity with the undulation of the inner surface of the cargo bed or the luggage compartment of the vehicle.

According to this embodiment, the load does not come into contact with the rear panel 32a of the cabin 32 when the load is loaded on the loading bed 31, or when the vehicle body shakes or vibrates during running, or suddenly stops. 2
Buffered by 0 rubbery elasticity. That is, when the luggage is pressed against the cushion protector 20, the front portion 21 is deformed with the compression or bending deformation of the inclined ribs 23, 24, and is backed up by the elasticity of the ribs 23, 24, thereby exhibiting a cushioning function. Things.

The present invention is not construed as being limited to the illustrated embodiment. For example, front part 1
The number of ribs 13, 23,
The number, shape, and the like of 24 are arbitrary, and the dimensions and the like of each part shown in FIGS. 2 and 8 are also examples, and are not particularly limited. In the illustrated example, the light source is mounted on a light truck. However, the light source can be mounted on a luggage space of a large truck or a panel van. Moreover, the thing shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 5, or FIG. 6 can be attached to the cabin back panel.

[0024]

According to the cushion protector of the present invention, the cushion protector can be mounted simply by attaching it to the contact point of the load such as the gate of the truck bed or the back of the cabin.
It is possible to effectively prevent one or both of the vehicle body and the load from being damaged when the load is loaded or the vehicle is running, and the mounting is easy. Further, when the load is pressed, an effect is achieved in that the load is hardly moved due to the frictional force of the cushion protector.
