Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an improvement of a rear parcel for an automobile, particularly its shaft support structure.

2. Description of the Related Art In an automobile having a luggage compartment between the rear seats and the back door, there has been well known a luggage compartment having a rotatable, flat-plate-like rear parcel received in the luggage compartment, thereby dividing the luggage compartment into two compartments, an upper compartment and an lower compartment.
This rear parcel is supported on the horizontal surface of a rear parcel side having a roughly L-shaped cross section with a step at each end so that it is at a predetermined height from the floor surface of the automobile, and one end is supported on the rear parcel side so that it can be freely rotated.

The rear parcel support structure is as follows:
Generally, hinge shafts are fixed integrally to the undersides of both rotating sides of the rear parcel with screws or the like, and synthetic resin bearing members are also fixed to the sides of the rear parcel.

However, in the case where separate hinge shafts and bearing members are attached to the rear parcel and the rear parcel side, respectively, the cost is high because the separate parts are installed, and the number of installation man-hours is increased. etc., and since this rear parcel is rotated as necessary, its back side is often exposed. As a result, if the hinge shaft and bearing member appear in this area, the appearance will be unsightly.

Therefore, this idea has a lower opening on both sides of one end of the rear parcel, and a shaft hole that expands toward the inner part, and a radius on the side of the rear parcel that elastically fits into the shaft hole. To provide a pivot support structure for a rear parcel in which a hinge shaft that is extendable and retractable in the direction is integrally provided and the rear parcel can be rotatably supported by fitting the two together in an assembly process. It is.

Embodiments of this invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 shows the overall structure of the rear parcel attachment part according to this invention. In the figure, a luggage compartment 2 is formed between a rear seat 1 and a back door (not shown). A body side 4 attached to an inner panel 3 and a rear parcel side 5 made of a synthetic resin injection molded body attached to the inner panel 3 are provided at the lower part of the body side 4 on both sides of the inner panel 2.

The rear parcel side 5 includes a vertical wall 6 attached to the inner panel 3, a horizontal plate 7 bent into an L shape on the top of the vertical wall 6, and the horizontal plate 7.
A plurality of support plates 8 for reinforcing the vertical wall 6
and a stepped portion 7 at the tip of the support plate 8.
a is formed, and a rear parcel 9 is formed in this stepped portion 7a.
is engaged with and horizontally supported by this.

As shown in FIG. 2, a shaft portion 10 is integrally formed projecting from the front portion of the rear parcel side 5, and a shaft portion engaging with the shaft portion 10 is formed on both sides of the tip portion of the rear parcel 9. A hole 11 is formed.

That is, FIG. 2 shows an enlarged view of the shaft support portion between the rear parcel side and the rear parcel.
is integrally provided, and a reinforcing piece 10b is continuously formed at the distal end thereof, which extends integrally from the distal end of the stepped portion 7a. On the other hand, an engaging piece 9a that fits between the step and the shaft is formed on the edge of the rear parcel, and a shaft hole 11 is formed in the side of the piece 9a.

FIG. 3 shows the shape of the shaft hole 11 of the rear parcel 9.
an opening 11a formed in the lower part of the shaft hole body 11b that expands toward the innermost part of the opening 11a;
have.

Further, the above-mentioned shaft 10a, which is formed protrudingly on the rear parcel side, has a pair of slits 1 along the longitudinal direction of the shaft 10a, as shown in FIG.
3 and 13 are formed to allow the shaft 10 to be elastically expanded and contracted in the radial direction.

Therefore, the hinge shaft 1 configured in this way
When the shaft hole 11 is engaged with the shaft hole 11, the opening 11a is fitted inward while contracting the hinge shaft 10a in the radial direction, but the diameter of the hinge shaft 10a is set to be slightly larger than the inner diameter of the shaft hole main body 11, so that when the shaft 10a is fitted deep inside, as shown in FIG. In this state, an appropriate frictional torque is generated, and the rear parcel 9 is fixed and rotatably supported. 4A, B, and C show other cross-sectional shapes of the hinge shaft 20 according to this invention, and in FIG. 4A, a slit 20a' is formed only at one location in the axial direction of the hinge shaft. ing. In addition, in B, slits 20a'' and 20a'' are formed so that the cross section is W-shaped, and in addition, in C
In this case, there is a slit 20 in the axial direction of the shaft.
A half-moon-shaped iron clip 21 is fitted into the slit 20a and has both ends fitted and held within the slit 20a and bulges in the radial direction of the hinge shaft. Elasticity is imparted not by expansion and contraction, but by expansion and contraction of the iron clip 21 in the radial direction.

As explained in detail in each of the embodiments above, the shaft support structure of the rear parcel according to the present invention includes a shaft integrally protruding from the rear parcel side and a shaft formed with an opening on the rear parcel side as described above. Since this is done through holes, there is no need to attach separate parts using screws or elastic fitting as in the past, which reduces the number of parts and assembly man-hours, and makes it possible to rotate the rear parcel. In the moving state, there are no screw heads or bearing members attached to the rear parcel in the connection on the back side, and the entire structure is integrated, which has the advantage of improved appearance.
