Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a rear package tray device that covers a luggage compartment between a rear seat and a tailgate of an automobile.

When a vehicle has a luggage compartment between the rear seat and the tailgate, a so-called rear package tray is provided above the luggage compartment to hide the inside of the luggage compartment from view and to use it as a shelf.

Conventionally, the rear package tray has been made of a single plate that can be opened from the rear centering on the front end.

The problem with this structure is that it is impossible to open and close the package tray from the rear seat, and the rear package tray gets in the way when the backrest of the rear seat is tilted backwards, so-called reclining.

For this reason, it has been proposed that the rear package tray 10 is divided into two parts, a front tray 1 and a rear tray 2, which are hingedly connected by a flexible skin 10a, as shown in FIG.

This rear package tray is arranged between the backrest 4 of the rear seat 3 and the lower part of the tailgate 5, and as shown in FIG. It is removed from a support member 8 provided on the side of the vehicle body, and the rear tray 2 is lifted to take out the luggage from the outside of the vehicle from the rear, or the front tray 1 is lifted to take out the luggage from the luggage compartment 6 from the rear seat 3.

On the other hand, when reclining the backrest 4 of the rear seat 3, the front tray 1 supported by the rod 7 on the support member 8 is lifted as shown in FIG. 3 and folded back onto the rear tray 2.

However, this structure has the problem that when the back rest 4 is tilted forward, objects placed on the rear tray 2 will pass over the horizontal front tray 1 and fall onto the upper part of the back rest 4. .

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems in the rear package tray device in which the front tray and rear tray are hinged together and cover the luggage compartment between the rear seat and the tailgate of the automobile. To provide a rear package tray device in which objects placed on the rear package tray do not fall onto a back rest part or the like even when the rear tray is lifted in a state of being folded forward.

That is, in the present invention, a rear package tray that is separated from the front tray and the rear tray is arranged between the rear seat and the tailgate, and the rear end of the front tray and the front end of the rear tray are provided close to each other. The front tray and the rear tray are hinged together by a flexible skin that spans both,
A rotating shaft is provided on the rear tray, and a bracket for attaching the rotating shaft to the rear tray extends below the front tray to support the rear end of the front tray, and the rear package tray is fixed inside both sides of the vehicle body. It is supported by a front support member, a rear support member, and a rear tray rotation shaft support member, and the rear end of the front support member is located in front of the hinge portion of the rear package tray, and the rear tray rotation axis is located behind the hinge portion. , the rear support member is located behind the rear tray rotation axis.

An embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 4, a front tray 11 and a rear tray 12 are covered by a single flexible skin 13, and both trays are hingedly connected by this skin 13.

A rear package tray 20 consisting of a front tray 11 and a rear tray 12 is supported by a front support member 14, a rear support member 15, and a rear tray rotation shaft support member 16.

A rotating shaft 17 is attached to the lower surface of the rear tray 12 by a bracket 18, and the rotating shaft 17 is fixed to the vehicle body by the rear tray rotating shaft supporting member 16.

The bracket 18 is attached to the front tray 11 as shown in FIG.
By extending to the bottom, the rear end of the front tray 11 is supported and the hinge portion 19 is reinforced.

The front support member 14, the rear support member 15, and the rear tray rotation shaft support member 16 are constructed by fixing the support member 21 shown in FIG. 7 and a symmetrical support member (not shown) inside both sides of the vehicle body. Configure.

Note that the rear tray rotation shaft support member 16 has a leaf spring 1 that urges the rotation shaft 17 into which the opening is inserted toward the front upright wall.
6a is provided.

In the above configuration, when the tailgate is opened, the rotating shaft 17
When the rear tray 12 is lifted up with the front tray 12 centered on the
is in an inclined position defined by the rear end 14' of the.

Thereby, objects that have rolled down from above the rear tray 12 can be caught here.

Furthermore, even when the front tray 11 is lifted around the hinge part 19 and folded back onto the rear tray 12 to recline as shown in FIG. There is no change in this, and of course there is no problem with the interlocking of the rear tray 12 and the tailgate.
