Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a top attachment device for automobiles, especially freight vehicles, which makes it easier to attach the top than conventional ones, improves workability, and This prevents the work tools from coming into contact with the painted parts of the vehicle body.

In an automobile 1 as shown in FIG. 1, a canopy 4 is attached to the top of a cargo platform 3 located behind a driver's seat 2 to form a roof. Since this canopy 4 is provided to protect the cargo on the loading platform 3 from rain and wind, it is not desirable for water to leak from the gap. Water leaks are likely to occur in the area indicated by reference numeral A in FIG. The conventional structure of this part is as shown in FIG.

In Fig. 2, 5 is a roof drip,
The iron plate forming the driver's seat 2 is bent into an L-shaped cross section facing toward the loading platform 3. At the top of this roof drip 5, a rolled part of the rod 6 of the hood 4, which is partially wound around the rod 6 and folded back, is positioned. A part of the canopy 4 is held down by one end of a set piece 7 bent into a substantially U-shape. A bolt 8 is screwed into the set piece 7, and its tip is brought into contact with the lower surface of the roof drip 5.

In the conventional top mounting device with such a configuration, the bolt 8 is loosened, the set piece 7 is lifted upward, and the rod 6 winding portion of the top 4 is placed in the position shown in the figure, and then the bolt 8 is tightened. As the set piece 7 descends, one end of the set piece 7 will sandwich the hood 4 between it and the roof drip 5. As a result, the front end of the hood 4 is attached to the vehicle body (at the rear of the driver's seat 2). However, with this structure, the tool that rotates the bolt 8 tends to come into contact with the protrusion 2a on the back of the driver's cab, making it impossible to use power tools, resulting in poor workability and the fact that the paint on this part is easy to peel off. I had a problem.

The present invention improves this point. An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3. In this case, the front end of the canopy 4 is positioned above the roof drip 5 with a substantially L-shaped deck cover plate 9 attached, and this deck cover plate 9 and The front end of the hood 4 is pressed by the front end of a set piece upper 10 whose front end is bent into a U-shape, and the lower part of the roof drip 5 is pressed by the front end of a set piece lower 11. and two set pieces 10,
The other ends of the set pieces 11 are bent in an arc shape and overlapped so that they can rotate, and the intermediate portions of the two set pieces 10 and 11 are connected by a screw 12. 13 is a weather strip.

To attach the canopy 4 in this structure,
Wind it up from the rear (right side in the figure), place it on the top of the deck cover plate 9, and loosen the screw 12 with a screwdriver. As a result, the front ends of the two set pieces 10 and 11 open around the overlapping part (rear end), and in this state, place the front end of the hood 4 on the top of the roof drip 5 via the weather strip 13, and then attach the screw 12. When tightened, the front ends of the two set pieces 10 and 11 are closed, and the deck cover plate 9 and the top 4 are pressed and fixed between the front end of the set piece upper 10 and the roof drip 5.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, a power tool can be used for the work, and work efficiency can be significantly improved. Furthermore, since the hood can be installed from above and diagonally below the vehicle body, and removed in the same manner, the work becomes easier. Furthermore, since the bolts and tools do not come into contact with the vehicle body, there is no chance of damaging the paint, and therefore there is no need to worry about rust. Roof drips with a smaller cross section can also be used. Furthermore, if the deck cover plate and the set piece upper are welded in advance, the operator will have one hand free, which will improve the ease of assembling the parts.
