JPS607952Y2 - Car luggage compartment cover - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] In automobiles such as bread, wagon, hatchback, and coupe types, the rear of the passenger compartment is used as a luggage compartment.

In this type of luggage compartment, since the luggage can be seen from the outside, it spoils the appearance and there is also a risk of theft, so a cover is provided to cover the luggage compartment and onto which lightweight luggage can be placed.

Although a board material or a sheet material with poor elasticity is usually used for the cover, the present invention relates to a cover made of the sheet material.

To explain the conventional example shown in Figs. 1 to 3, 1 is a rear seat, 2 is a luggage compartment in which the rear part of the passenger compartment is partitioned by the rear seat 1, and 3 is a cover, which is of carpet type or vinyl chloride. It is made of sheet material with poor elasticity.

Hooks 4 are riveted to both corners of the front periphery of the cover 3 via bands, and are latched to latches 5 provided on the vehicle body side.

Also, hooks 6 in the form of conical holes 6a are riveted to both corners of the rear peripheral edge, and are latched to the head 7a of a pin-shaped latch 7 provided on the vehicle body side. cover 3
The peripheral corners of each are fixed to the vehicle body.

According to such a conventional structure, the cover 3 is fixed at one of the peripheral corners and then fixed at the other peripheral corner. However, since the cover 3 is made of a sheet material with poor elasticity, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, a clearance dimension 1 is required for fastening, and a sufficient clearance dimension 1 is also required in consideration of absorbing dimensional errors of the fastening parts.

This also applies to the fastening relationship in the front-rear direction.

Therefore, when the cover 3 is in a fixed state, the cover 3 becomes sagging as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, which is very unsightly.

The present invention eliminates such problems and is shown in Figures 4 to 4.
As shown in FIG. 6, the cover 8 made of a sheet material with poor elasticity is fixed to the vehicle body at its peripheral corner by hooks 9.11 and latches 10.12 similar to the conventional example.

However, as shown in FIG. 5, the distance between the hooks 9 and 9 and the distance between the hooks 11 and 11 are shorter than the distance L'1 between the latches 10.10 and the distance L/ between the latches 12.12. Its dimensions are set so that it looks like this.

Also, hooks 9 and 11 in the front and back direction and latches 10 and 1
The dimensional relationship with 2 is similarly set.

On the other hand, the peripheral edge of the cover between the fastening parts has a notch 13 that widens toward the tip, and a rubber band 14 is attached to the folded part of the peripheral edge, spanning both ends of this notch 13. sewn between.

In such a configuration, when one peripheral corner is fastened and then the other peripheral corner is fastened, the rubber band 14 is stretched, the notch 13 is expanded, and the peripheral edge is fully secured. It is stretched and the other peripheral corner is secured.

When the cover 8 is fixed, the elasticity of the rubber band 14 acts to close the notch 13 and a contracting force is applied to the periphery, so that the cover 3 always maintains an extended state without sagging.

Incidentally, a coil spring may be used instead of the rubber band 14, eyelets may be provided at both ends of the notch 13, and both ends of the coil spring may be hooked onto the eyelets.

According to the present invention, it is possible to eliminate the sagging caused by the sheet material with poor elasticity after fastening with a simple structure, and since the cover is always given contractile force by the elastic body,
It is possible to prevent the cover from becoming large and wavy due to vibrations while driving, and it is also possible to secure the cover even when loaded with luggage that somewhat protrudes from the cover.

Further, in order to prevent sagging, the peripheral edges between the fastening parts are also fastened.

Alternatively, it is also possible to insert a core material over substantially the entire peripheral portion.

However, in the former case, the number of fastening parts increases, making attachment and detachment complicated, and in the latter case, due to the presence of a core metal, the cover cannot be rolled or folded in the same way as a board cover, making it inconvenient to handle. The invention allows for a cover that takes advantage of the characteristics of the sheet material and is easy to attach, detach, and handle.

In addition, to prevent sagging, it is possible to interpose an elastic body in either the fastening parts on the cover side or the fastening parts on the vehicle body, but in this case, the weight of the cover is directly applied to the elastic body. Therefore, strong elasticity is required to prevent sagging, making it difficult to attach and detach.

In the present invention, since the weight of the cover is borne by the fastening parts, it is easy to attach and detach without requiring a very strong elastic body, and there is no problem in its durability even if a rubber band is used as shown in the drawings of the embodiment.

Furthermore, even when a resin sheet cover is used, sagging occurs after the cover is fixed due to elongation due to solar heat, etc.
In this case, by appropriately setting the expansion allowance of the notch,
It is also possible to sufficiently absorb the sag caused by such heat-induced fixation.
