Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to the body structure of an automobile, and more particularly to the structure of a spare tire cover that covers a spare tire stored in the trunk of an automobile.

An example of a conventional automobile body structure is the one shown in FIG. 1-2.

That is, in FIG. 1, 1 is the body of a car,
This vehicle body 1 has a trunk room 2 at the rear.

As shown in detail in FIG. 2, the trunk room 2 has a trunk floor side 3 at one end, and is constituted by a trunk floor 4 to which a side member 9 is fixed. The section is joined to the lower end of the trunk floor side 3 and is constituted by a fender 5.

A storage space is formed on the trunk side 6 by the rear fender 5 and the trunk floor side 3, and a spare tire 7 is formed on the trunk side 6.
is stored vertically, and the spare tire 7 is covered with a flexible floor mat 8 or the like.

Reference numeral 11 is the trunk lid. In this way, when the spare tire 7 is placed vertically, the capacity of the fuel tank normally provided at the bottom of the trunk floor 4 can be increased compared to when a recess is provided in the trunk floor 4 and the spare tire is stored horizontally there. There are advantages that can be achieved.

However, in such a conventional automobile body structure, one side end of the trunk floor 4 is connected to the upper end 10 so that the spare tire 7 can be easily taken out from the trunk side 6.
Since the spare tire 7 is covered by a flexible floor mat 8, the floor mat 8 falls into the trunk side 6, and is used for storing luggage. However, there was a problem in that the floor space of the trunk room 2 could not be used widely and effectively.

This idea was created by focusing on these conventional problems, and the spare tire stored in the storage space is
The above-mentioned problem can be solved by covering the spare tire cover with a spare tire cover that has two plate-shaped parts that are rotatably connected to each other and that makes the plate-shaped part of the floor part protrude toward the spare tire storage space. It aims to solve the problem.

This invention will be explained below based on the drawings.

3 to 5 are diagrams showing an embodiment of this invention.

First, to explain the structure, in FIGS. 3 and 4, 21 is a trunk room provided at the rear of the automobile, and this trunk room 21 has a trunk floor 23 fixed to a side member 22. , the side wall of the trunk room 21 is constituted by a fender 24.

The trunk floor 23 has a trunk floor side 25 projecting downward at one end thereof, and by joining the lower end of the rear ender 24 to the lower end of this trunk floor side 25, a trunk side 26 serving as a storage space is created. is formed.

A spare tire 27 is stored vertically in the rank side 26, and although not shown, the spare tire 27 is tilted and fixed toward the rear fender 24 by a stay or the like.

Further, the inside of the upper end of the rear fender 24 and one side end of the trunk floor 23 are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance, so that there is a substantially triangular shape between the spare tire 27 and the trunk floor side 25. A space S is formed, and as a result, the spare tire 27 can rotate in the direction of the arrow A, and its upper end can protrude from the trunk side 26.

A plate material 28 is fixed to the upper surface of one end of the trunk floor 23 with a plurality of bolts 29.
extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body.

One end of a first plate-like portion 31 is rotatably connected to one end of the plate member 28 via a plurality of hinges 30 .

One end portion of the first plate-shaped portion 31 is in surface contact with the upper surface of the trunk floor 23, and the other end portion protrudes from one side end of the trunk floor 23 by a certain distance B.

One end of a second plate portion 33 is rotatably connected to the other end of the first plate portion 31 via a plurality of hinges 32;
This second plate-shaped portion 33 covers the spare tire 27.

The other end of the second plate-shaped portion 33 is locked by a locking side 35 to a bracket 34 attached to the inside of the upper end of the rear fender 24.

That is, this locking side 35 is connected to the second side, as shown in detail in FIG.
It is composed of an elastic body 37 having a substantially U-shaped cross section fixed to the other end of the plate-shaped portion 33 by a plurality of bolts 36, and a hole 38 formed in the bracket 34 so that the elastic body 37 fits therein. .

60 in FIGS. 3 and 4 is a hole serving as a handle.

In the end, the first and second plate-like parts 31 and 33, and the hinge 30
．． 32 constitutes a spare tire cover 39 as a whole.

40 is a trunk lid, and 41 is a weather strip for preventing rainwater from entering the trunk compartment 21.

Next, the action will be explained.

First, the spare tire 2 stored in the trunk side 26
7, pull the second plate-shaped portion 33 through the handle hole 60, pull out the elastic body 37 from the hole 38 of the bracket, and remove the locking side.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the first and second plate-shaped portions 31.
33 is rotated about the hinge 30 in the direction of arrow C and brought down to the position shown by the imaginary line.

As a result, the trunk side 26 opens wide.

Next, the spare tire 27 can be easily taken out by removing the spare tire 27 from the stay etc., rotating it in the direction of arrow A and pulling it upward as shown by the imaginary line in FIG.

When storing and fixing the spare tire 27 on the 1-rank side 26, the operation is completely opposite to the above-mentioned removal operation.
With the trunk side 26 open, open the trunk side 2.
This is done by storing the spare tire 27 in the second plate-like portion 6 and covering the spare tire 27 with the second plate-like portion 33.

When storing luggage in the trunk compartment 21, the luggage is placed on the trunk floor 23 with the spare tire 27 covered by the second plate-shaped part 33. At this time, the first plate-shaped part 3
1 is attached so as to be in surface contact with the upper surface of the trunk floor 23, and further protrudes a certain distance B from one end of the trunk floor 23, so that the spare tire cover 39 does not fall into the space S, but only by a certain distance B. The floor space of the trunk room 21 can be widely used for storing luggage.

Note that instead of attaching the hinge 30 to the member 28, it may be attached directly to the trunk floor 23, thereby omitting the member 28.

Other embodiments are shown in FIGS. 6-8.

It should be noted that the same parts as those in the above-mentioned embodiment are given the same reference numerals and the explanation thereof will be omitted.

In FIG. 6, reference numeral 42 denotes a spare tire cover, and this spare tire cover 42 is integrally injection molded using a plastic material such as plastic.

One end of this spare tire cover 42 is fixed to the trunk floor with a plurality of bolts 43, and is attached to a portion 46, a first plate-like portion 47 and It is divided into a second plate-shaped portion 48.

One end of the first plate-shaped portion 47 is in surface contact with the upper surface of the trunk floor 23, and the other end projects a certain distance B from one end of the trunk floor 23.

Under these circumstances, the spare tire cover 42 increases its deformability at the portion 45 and becomes bendable in the direction of arrow C.

Further, as shown in detail in FIGS. 7 and 8, the second plate-shaped portion 48
A so-called Velcro tape (registered trademark) 49 made of hook-shaped synthetic resin fiber is attached to the lower surface of the other end, covering an elastic member 50 made of urethane or the like.

On the other hand, on the surface of the bracket 34 facing one piece of this Velcro tape (registered trademark name) 49, there is a so-called Velcro tape (registered trademark name) 49 made of loop-shaped synthetic resin fiber.
The other piece is attached.

Therefore, by joining the Velcro (registered trademark) 49 together, the other end of the second plate-like portion 48 is locked to the bracket 34.

When joining the Velcro tape (registered trademark) 49 together, the elastic action of the elastic member 50 causes the Velcro tape (
Registered Trademark Name) 49 Comrades will definitely join.

In this embodiment as well, the same effect as in the above-mentioned embodiment can be performed.

As explained above, according to this invention, in a vehicle that stores a spare tire in the storage space formed by the trunk floor side and the rear fender, the spare tire cover is made of flexible plate material at two locations. In addition, since a portion of the spare tire cover protrudes from the trunk floor, when storing luggage in the trunk, the floor space of the trunk can be used widely and effectively.
