Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to a spare tire storage device for an automobile.

(Prior art) As a spare tire storage device for storing a spare tire of a car in a trunk room,
When the length of the luggage stored in the trunk is relatively larger than the height, the spare tire is placed horizontally on the floor of the trunk to ensure a large effective length of the trunk. When the height of the luggage is large, the spare tire is selectively stored vertically (vertical position) behind the rear seat in order to ensure a large effective height of the trunk room. A device configured to do this is already known from Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-67878.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional storage device, the spare tire hanger to which the spare tire is attached is formed of a rod or a tube in the form of a frame.
The structure is somewhat complicated, and in addition, a hook is attached to the free end via a fixing band such as rubber, and this hook is locked to a vehicle body member to maintain the above-mentioned horizontal and vertical placement. Because of this, the operation of fixing the spare tire hanger is cumbersome,
Furthermore, when driving on a rough road, the spare tire hanger and the spare tire swing due to the extension of the fixing band, which causes abnormal noise in the trunk room.

(Purpose of the invention) This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and in addition to simplifying the structure and making it easier to operate, the invention was designed to be able to be properly fixed to vehicle body members, and to be able to shake while the vehicle is running. An object of the present invention is to provide a spare tire storage device for an automobile that can prevent the vehicle from moving.

(Structure of the invention) This invention is based on an automobile in which a spare tire can be selectively stored horizontally or vertically in the trunk, and a support bracket made of an elongated plate to which the spare tire is attached is located near the center in the longitudinal direction. a fixing part provided to fix the spare tire; a first floor locking part formed on both sides of the fixing part to be inserted into and engaged with an engaging part provided on the floor when stored horizontally; and a support bracket. a second floor locking part formed at one end and inserted into and engaged with an engaging part provided on the floor when stored vertically; and an upper edge of the rear opening of the seat back formed at the other end when stored vertically. It is configured such that it is integrally provided with an upper locking part that is inserted into and engaged with the engaging part of the part.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a support bracket constituting a spare tire storage device for an automobile according to this invention. In the figure, the support bracket 1 is made of a metal elongated plate, and is slightly offset from the center. A convex fixing part 2 is formed, a bolt insertion hole 3 is bored at the top of the fixing part 2, and a nut 4 is fixed to the bottom surface of the top part concentrically with the bolt insertion hole 3, as shown in FIG. has been done.

A pair of first floor locking portions 5A and 5B are continuously provided in a band shape on both sides of the lower end of the fixing portion 2, and a second floor locking portion 6 is formed at one end of the first floor locking portion 5A. has been done. This second floor locking portion 6 includes a standing wall portion 6a that rises substantially vertically from one end of the first floor locking portion 5A, and a vertical wall portion 6a that is bent downward from the upper end of the standing wall portion 6a with a gap 6A. It has a locking piece 6b. Further, an upper locking portion 7 is formed at the other end of the other first floor locking portion 5B. This upper locking portion 7 is an inclined wall portion 7 that rises obliquely.
a, and a locking piece 7a extending horizontally from the upper end of the inclined wall portion 7a, and the locking piece 7b has a notch 8 cut in the longitudinal direction from the end surface thereof.

In Fig. 3, 9 is a trunk room, 10 is a trunk lid, 11 is a rear window, 12 is a rear seat back, 13 is a rear end panel, and 14 is a rear window.
indicates a package tray, and 15 indicates a floor, and the floor 15 is connected to the lower floor 15A and this lower floor 1.
It consists of an upper floor 15B provided on the front side of the floor 5A with a stepped portion 16 interposed therebetween. An opening 17 having a height extending from the surface of the upper floor 15B to the front end 14A of the package tray 14 is formed at the rear of the rear seat back 12.

The front end 14A of the package tray 14 is formed into a closed section with a reinforcing plate 14a fixed to the rear side, and a locking pin 18 is attached passing through this closed cross section, and a locking head 18a of the locking pin 18 is attached. is gap 19
and is opposed to the front end surface of the package tray 14.

As shown in FIG. 4, on the surface of the lower floor 15A of the floor 15, there is a predetermined gap in the longitudinal direction A of the vehicle body, that is, a gap that allows the first floor locking portions 5A and 5B of the support bracket 1 to engage. A pair of hooks 20A and 20B having openings in different width directions of the vehicle body are attached to the upper floor 1.
As shown in FIG. 5, a bracket 21 with which the locking piece 6b of the second floor locking portion 6 can be engaged is mounted on the surface of the floor 5B.

In the above configuration, when storing the spare tire 22 horizontally as shown in FIG. 5B to the hooks 20A and 20B as shown in FIG. 4 to fix the support bracket 1 to the lower floor 15A, and then as shown in FIG.
Pass the bolt 26 through the through hole (not shown) in the holding plate 25 that is placed on the center hole 24 of the
This is done by screwing the tip of the bracket into the nut 4 of the fixing part 2 of the support bracket 1.

On the other hand, when storing the spare tire 22 vertically, first, as shown in FIG.
After positioning the upper locking part 7 on the upper side and pointing the convex fixing part 2 toward the front of the vehicle body (see Fig. 7),
The locking pin 18 is engaged in the notch 8 formed in the locking piece 7b of the upper locking part 7, and the locking piece 7b is connected to the locking head 18a of the locking pin 18 and the front end of the package tray 14. 14, that is, the upper locking portion 7 is inserted into the gap 19 between the rear seat back 12
A state is obtained in which the upper edge 17A of the rear opening 17 is engaged. Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the locking piece 7b of the second floor locking part 6 is engaged with the bracket 21 attached to the upper floor 15B, and the seventh
As shown, attach the support bracket 1 to the upper floor 15.
B and the upper edge 17A of the rear opening 17 of the seat back 12, and then the tire wheel 23
Attach the bolt 2 to the holding plate 25 that is in contact with the center hole 24 of the
6 and screwing the tip of the bolt 26 into the nut 4, the spare tire 22 is fixed to the support bracket 1.

The upper locking portion 7 of the support bracket 1 is inserted into the closed section of the front end 14A of the package tray 14, which constitutes the upper edge 17A of the rear opening 17 of the seat bag 12, as shown in FIG. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 9, the notch 8 may be inserted into the closed cross section and engaged with a locking pin 18A provided within the closed cross section. It has the same effect as the example.

(Effects of the invention) As explained above, according to this invention, since the support bracket is formed of an elongated plate material, the structure is simple, and the operation of attaching and detaching the support bracket to the vehicle body member is easy. Moreover, since it can be fixed properly, it is possible to prevent the spare tire from swinging when the vehicle is running.
