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, and allows the top to be attached and removed many times. Even when stacked, there is no damage to the top or car body, and workability is further improved, and working tools do not come into contact with the painted parts of the car body.

In an automobile 1 as shown in FIG. 1, a canopy 4 is attached to the top of a cargo platform 3 located at the rear of a driver's cab 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 cab 2 is bent into an L-shaped cross section facing the loading platform 3 side. 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, the rod 6 winding part 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 moves downward, 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 cab 2). However, with this structure, the set piece 7 touches the top 4 at the edge, so if the top 4 is attached and removed many times, the top 4
There is a problem that the bolt 8 may be torn, and since the tip of the bolt 8 directly hits the roof drip 5 and is tightened, the paint color of this part may peel off, rust may form, or a hole may form. Furthermore, the tool for rotating 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 problem of easy peeling of the paint on this part. It was hot.

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 deck cover plate 9 in a substantially L-shape, and the canopy 4 is placed on the deck. It is held between the bottom surface of the cover plate 9 and the weather strip 12 interposed in the roof drip 5, and the front end of the hood 4 is pressed by one end of a substantially U-shaped set piece 10 that opens downward through the deck cover plate 9. On the other hand, a push plate 11 rotatably supported at the tip of a bolt 8 is applied to the lower part of the roof drip 5.
This push plate 11 is attached to the set piece 10.
The structure is such that the bolt 8 screwed into the loading platform 3 is pressed from the rear side of the loading platform 3. 13 is a tool for tightening the bolt 8.

In this structure, to attach the top 4, loosen the bolts 8 to push the set piece 10 upward to the left in the figure, and in this state attach the front end of the top 4 to the deck cover plate via the weather strip 12 to the top of the roof drip 5. 9, and then gradually tighten the bolt 8 with the tool 13, the set piece 10 moves to the lower right in the figure (in the direction of the arrow) and connects its front end to the roof drip 5.
The deck cover plate 9 and the canopy 4 are pressed and fixed between them.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the top will not be torn even if the top is attached and removed many times. Since power tools can be used for the work, work efficiency can be significantly improved. Furthermore, since the bolts and tools do not come into contact with the vehicle body, there is no possibility of damaging the paint, and therefore there is no need to worry about rusting or holes.
