Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a shelf structure for high-roof trucks.

Since the body of an automobile is formed within limited dimensions, the occupant comfort is not sufficient. Furthermore, light trucks and the like have a disadvantage in that cargo handling is restricted because there is not a large space for loading cargo.

In order to eliminate such drawbacks, for example, as shown in the specification and drawings attached to the application of Utility Model Application No. 56-195723, the roof of the truck is made double to provide a luggage storage area. However, on the other hand, the roof panel of the truck is formed into a high roof, and the inner panel fixed to the front and side edges of the truck has a roof panel located above the front of the driver's cab and extending in the vehicle width direction. There is one with a shelf hanging on it.

In other words, since the roof panel is formed into a high roof, a large space is created above the occupant's head, eliminating the feeling of pressure from above, and greatly improving the comfort of the vehicle. In addition, the space created above the front of the driver's cabin by forming the high roof was used to hang a shelf for storing luggage.
Cargo handling performance is greatly improved.

In such a structure, the present invention provides a plurality of partition plates in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, and provides grooves in the upper edge of each partition plate that communicate with each other when viewed from the width direction of the vehicle. A door that is pivoted at the front edge and opens downward is provided at the bottom of the shelf, and an opening/closing lock device is attached to the rear edge to make effective use of the shelf.

Next, an embodiment of the structure of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described.

FIG. 1 shows the upper structure of the driver's cab of a light truck. A roof panel 1 is formed into a high roof, and an inner wall extends from the front edge 1a to the side edges (not shown) on the vehicle width side. A front part 2a of the panel 2 and a side part (not shown) located on the vehicle width side are fixed. A front window glass 4 is attached to the front edge 1a and the front portion 2a via a weather strip 3.

In order to store luggage, a shelf 6 is provided above the front of the driver's cabin and extends in the vehicle width direction, and is hooked to the inner panel 2.
That is, the front engagement step portion 6a provided on the shelf 6
is hooked to the edge 2b of the front portion 2a of the inner panel 2, and a side engagement step (not shown) provided on the shelf 6 is hooked to the edge of the side portion of the inner panel 2. It is designed to stop and place Sheelf 6 in place.

The present invention has such a structure, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in which a partition plate 8 is provided inside the shelf 6, and a door 9 is provided at the bottom of the shelf 6.

The partition plates 8 are composed of two or more pieces, and both are provided in the shelf 6 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. The upper edge 8a of each partition plate 8 is provided with grooves 8b that communicate with each other when viewed from the vehicle width direction. These communicating grooves are formed in pairs and have the same shape, but by providing several pairs of grooves with different shapes on the upper edge 8a, it is possible to adjust the size of the baggage to be stored. Be prepared to respond.

The door 9 is attached to the bottom 6b of the shelf 6 via a hinge 10 provided at its front edge, and is configured to open downward. An opening/closing lock device 12 is attached to the rear edge of the door 9 so as to be locked to the shelf 6.

With this structure, the baggage can be stored by being stretched over and fitted into the appropriate grooves 8b that are arranged according to the size of the baggage. This groove 8b is suitable for storing long items,
For example, a fishing rod case 13 can be stored therein. Further, by removing the lock device 12 and opening the door 9 as shown by the chain line, it is possible to store luggage 14 such as documents, slips, maps, etc. inside.

The shelf of this invention is located close to the passengers, making it extremely convenient for loading and unloading luggage. This shelf is suitable for storing long items, documents, and other items. In the past, it was a problem because there was no place to store long items inside a car, but by storing them in the grooves of this shelf, the items can be held in a stable state even while the car is in motion. Furthermore, when the door is opened to store documents and other luggage, it is easy to visually check the luggage, and the luggage is securely held since it is equipped with a locking device. Since the shield of the present invention can be used very effectively in this way, it has the advantage of being of great practical value.
