Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a tonneau cover for an automobile, and particularly to a tonneau cover that can be removed from a vehicle body and used as a seat.

(Prior art) Generally, in so-called hatch pack cars and 2-BOX cars, there is a luggage rack for loading luggage behind the rear seat.
However, in order to prevent the loaded cargo from being viewed from the outside through the window glass, a so-called tonneau cover is installed, and various types of tonneau covers have been used in the past. has been done. For example, as shown in FIG.
Fixing one end of the first cover member 9 of the tonneau cover 4 to the two ends of the back surface of the seat back 3 of the rear seat 2,
The second cover member 7, which is rewindably wound around a winder 6 provided at the lower end of the hatchback door 5, is fixed to the other end of the first cover member 8 of the tonneau cover 4, and When the back door 5 is opened, the second cover member 7 that has been rolled up is pulled out, and the luggage can be taken out without removing the second cover member 7. (Refer to Utility Model Publication No. 55-51832).

However, such a tonneau cover is only used as a covering member for the luggage compartment, and conventionally, the tonneau cover has been used not only as a covering member for the luggage compartment, but also for other purposes more effectively. There was a request to use it. In order to meet such demands, as shown in FIG. 1.2 The first and second pins lea engaged with the clamps 12a and 12b,
The second
Bend the cut I so that it is approximately perpendicular to the member 8b.
and the third pin IO of the second cover member 8b.
c is engaged with the third clamp 12c, and the first to third clamps 12a of this tonneau cover 8.

12b, 12c to 1st to 3rd pins IOa, 10b, IO
c and remove it from the support part 13, and as shown in FIG. Place the rear end of the second cover member 8b on top, use the second cover member 8b as a seating portion, and place the second cover member 8b on top of the first cover member 8.
If the first cover member 8a is used as a backrest portion by engaging the first bin 10a of a with the second clamp +2b, when the occupant is seated on the second cover member 8b, the sitting load is transferred to the second cover member 8b. The first via 10a engaged with the clamp 12b, the legs II, and the rear end panel 14a support the first via 10a, the legs II, and the rear end panel 14a in a distributed manner, and the side finisher 12 supports the side portions of the first and second force bar members 8a and 8b. Therefore, a tonneau cover that is sufficiently durable and can be used as a deck chair has been proposed (Toyota Motor Corporation Corona 5-door new car manual published in January 1988).

However, when this tonneau cover 8 is removed from the vehicle body and taken out of the vehicle, there is no member supporting the first cover member 8a, which is the backrest, and the second cover member 8b is prevented from moving laterally. If it moves to the side, it will climb over the stall/per (not shown) of the leg part II and will fall down from the standing position, and will no longer function as a chair.

(Object of the Invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, and its objects are as follows: 1) A vehicle that can be taken out of the vehicle and used as a chair. Our purpose is to provide tonneau covers for cars.

(Structure of the Invention) In order to achieve such an object, the present invention provides a cover member that covers a two-way luggage room formed by a rear seat, a side finisher, and a puncture door of an automobile. The second cover member may be formed as a second cover member, and the first cover member may be detachably attached to the side finisher, and the second cover member may have supporting legs for the first cover member on the back surface thereof. This is a combination of possible reinforcements.

(Embodiments of the Invention) The present invention will be described in detail below based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

What is shown in FIGS. 3 to 7 is one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the tonneau cover 15 is a support portion 1 provided on the side finisher 12 to cover the L side of the luggage room 17 provided behind the rear seat 16.
It is built on top of 3. As shown in FIG. 4, this tonneau cover 15 includes a rectangular first cover member 18 that covers the front half of the luggage compartment 17, and a rectangular first cover member 18 that is provided adjacent to the rear end of the first cover member 18. 2nd cover member 1
It consists of 8. - The first cover member 18 is made of a material having enough rigidity to support the weight of a small package placed on the first cover member 18 without providing reinforcement (e.g., powdered material made of felt). The first member 18 has a rectangular shape used as a parcel shelf on the surface of the first member 18. Four parts 20 are formed. moreover,
Holders 21 having a U-shaped cross section are attached to the four corners of the four parts 20 with rivets 22, respectively, with openings 21a facing upward. Further, the second cover member 19 is formed of a wooden board or the like, and several forceps 23 are provided on the back surface of the second cover member 19 via a holder 24. As shown in FIG. 5, this reinforcement 23 is made of pipe materials 25 and 28 of two sizes, large and small, each having a generally rectangular shape. Among these two pipe materials, the short side 26a of the small pipe material 26 is formed shorter than the short side 25a of the large pipe material 25, and
The long side portion 25b is the long side portion 25b of the large pipe material 25.
It is formed to have the same length as the inner diameter. Therefore, the small-sized pipe material 26 is housed inside the large-sized pipe material 25, and several pipes are arranged close to one long side 25b.

Furthermore, these two wooden pipe materials 25.28 are connected via a hinge 27 at a position slightly shifted from the intermediate position of the short sides 25a, 213a of the respective pipe materials 25.28. It is rotatably supported on the shaft. These pipe materials 25, 28 are fixed to a holder 24 at their respective long sides 25b, 28b, and these holders 24 consist of four single holders 24a and two double holders 24b. The above four single holders 24a are small pipe materials 26
The two tuple holders 24b support and fix one long side 26b' of the large pipe material 25 and one long side 25b' of the large pipe material 25.
5b and 28b are supported and fixed.

When forming a chair using the I-piece cover 15 configured in this way, first, the first cover member 18 is removed from the support portion 13 of the site finisher 12, and
The pipe material 25.2Et serving as the reinforcement 23 disposed on the back surface of the second cover member 1B is removed from the holder 24. Then, as shown in FIG.
After rotating the small pipe material 29 about the hinge 27 in a phase q direction so that the short sides 25a and 28a form an X-shaped side surface, the first cover member 18 is reversed and the recessed portion 20
Each pipe material 2 is placed in four holders 24 provided inside.
5. Engage and fix the long sides 25b and 28b of 26. In this case, the first cutter member 18 is made of a rigid material as described in "2", and can sufficiently support the weight of a person, so it can be used as a seating part. The pipe materials 25 and 2f3 used as reinforcement can be used as legs that support the seating section.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, the hinge 27 of the pipe material 25.
It was taken a little off from the middle position of 3a. Therefore, the pipe material 25 serving as one leg comes into contact with the ground in a form that protrudes slightly forward than the pipe material 26 serving as the other leg, and the length of one of the pipe materials 25 serving as the leg portion comes into contact with the ground in a manner that projects slightly forward. You can put your feet on the side 25b'' and use it as a more stable chair.In addition, in this way, you can create a chair outside the vehicle using the first cover member 18 and the reinforcement 23. Even when the vehicle is in use, the second cabinet member 18 is located inside the vehicle and covers the rear half of the luggage compartment 17, and serves as a luggage covering member. Tonneau cover 1 related to
5, when the chair is not formed, the pipe material 25.28 can be used as reinforcement for the second cover part 18, so the second cover part 19" is relatively heavy. You can also place your luggage on it. In addition, in the automatic Ichikawa Tonokanoheh according to this embodiment, the first cover member 1
