Description

  The present invention relates to a tonneau cover device (hereinafter, referred to as an "automobile tonneau cover device") provided in a luggage room (luggage compartment) of an automobile, and is particularly suitable for obtaining a luggage room having a large luggage compartment capacity, and the tonneau cover can be quickly and easily provided. It is suitable for making it possible to take in and out of the device.

  Conventionally, a tonneau cover is known as a means for covering a luggage room of a hatchback car, a wagon car, or the like. For the configuration of storing this type of tonneau cover in the storage case in a wound state, the configuration of storing the storage case in the storage recess, and the configuration of sliding the stored storage case along the guide rail to the tonneau cover use position, For example, it is employed in a vehicle tonneau cover device disclosed in Patent Document 1 (hereinafter, referred to as “conventional vehicle tonneau cover device”).

  However, referring to FIG. 1 of Patent Document 1, in the conventional tonneau cover device for a vehicle, the rear of the vehicle rear seat (from the wheel house to the front of the wheel house, specifically, the entire floor surface of the luggage room). 18a) Since the housing case (11) for the tonneau cover is stored in a range up to the vicinity (hereinafter, referred to as "wheel house adjacent floor surface range"), the following <Problem> occurs. In the above description, the reference numerals in parentheses are those used in Patent Document 1.

"problem"
Depending on the actual vehicle layout, the floor area adjacent to the wheel house as described above is the narrowest part of the entire floor area of the luggage room, so the width of the storage case and tonneau cover is necessarily one of them. It must be configured to have dimensions less than the narrowest width. In this case, the upper space of the hall house cannot be covered with the tonneau cover, and the original purpose of the tonneau cover, that is, cover-up, cannot be achieved. Part of the luggage side trim needs to protrude into the luggage room. In this case, a guide rail or the like of the storage case is disposed in a space (hereinafter referred to as “side space”) between a part of the protruding luggage side trim and the hall house. However, it is necessary to close the side space with the vertical wall, and as a result, there is a problem that the capacity of the luggage room that can be effectively used as the luggage room is reduced by the capacity of the side space.

  By the way, there is also a tonneau cover manual setting system which does not use the conventional tonneau cover device as described above, that is, a system in which the winding shaft of the tonneau cover is manually wound between the left and right luggage side trims. However, according to such a tonneau cover manual setting method, the length of the winding shaft of the tonneau cover is substantially the same as the width between the luggage side trims, that is, the width of the luggage room. For this reason, for example, when taking out the tonneau cover from the storage recess of the luggage room floor and setting it between the luggage side trims, or when storing the set tonneau cover in the storage recess of the luggage room floor, so-called tonneau cover handling is performed. In this case, the tonneau cover cannot be quickly and easily taken in and out, for example, the winding shaft of the tonneau cover is caught by the luggage side trim.

It is configured in. As the wire 82, a wire or a rod can be used.

<< Operation explanation of tonneau cover device for automobile >>
First, a case where the tonneau cover is not used in the luggage room LR will be described. In this case, the storage case 3 is completely stored in the storage recess 5 as shown by a two-dot broken line in FIG. ing. At this time, since the upper opening of the storage recess 5 is covered with the lid 51, the storage case 3 is not visible from inside the luggage room LR. When the tonneau cover 2 is pulled out of the storage case 3 that cannot be seen in this way and is actually used in the luggage room, the lid 51 is opened, and the operation handle 4 is grasped by hand and pulled upward. At the same time, the lock release lever 81 is simultaneously grasped and pulled toward the grip 41 of the operation handle 4.

  When the pulling force of the lock release lever 81 acts on the lock pin 71 via the wire rod 82 as described above, the lock pin 71 is pulled and pulled out from the lock pin insertion hole 72 and from the end of the storage case 3. It will be in a retracted state so as not to protrude. At the same time, the urging means 73 (coil spring) is compressed by being pressed toward the partition wall 31 in the storage case 3 by the rear end of the lock pin 71.

  When the operation handle 4 is pulled up as described above, the housing case 3 slides upward along the inclined track 62 as shown in FIG. 2B. At this time, since the tensile force of the constant load spring in the constant load winding device 10 acts on the storage case 3 via the wires 11 (11A, 11B), the upward movement of the storage case 3 by sliding is a weak force (for example, one-handed). Can be easily performed. Further, at the time of sliding, the storage case 3 and the operation handle 4 maintain a horizontal posture, and the posture of the operation handle 4 does not change when viewed from the user, so that the slide operability is good.

  When the housing case 3 reaches the upper end of the inclined track 62 by the lifting operation of the operation handle 4 as described above, thereafter, the operation handle 4 is pressed so as to be pushed toward the rear RS direction of the vehicle rear seat.

  Thereby, the storage case 3 slides along the horizontal track 61 in the direction of the back RS of the vehicle rear seat. Also at this time, since the tension of the constant load spring in the constant load winding device 10 acts on the storage case 3 via the wire 11 (11A, 11B), the storage case 3 can be easily slid only by pressing with a weak force. .

  When the storage case 3 finally reaches the end point of the horizontal track 61, the user releases the operation handle 4. As a result, the biasing means (coil spring) 73 that has been compressed as described above is restored to the original state before compression, and the restoring force causes the lock pin 71 to protrude from the end of the storage case 3. When the protruding lock pin 71 enters the lock pin insertion hole 72, the sliding of the storage case 3 near the rear surface RS of the vehicle rear seat is restricted.

  Thereafter, by pulling the drawer member 9 at the leading edge of the tonneau cover 2 toward the user, the tonneau cover 2 can be pulled out from the storage case 3, and the entire luggage room LR can be covered by the tongue cover 2 without leakage.

  When the tonneau cover 2 pulled out as described above is to be closed, first, the tonneau cover 2 is housed in the housing case 3 by being wound up by a winding shaft (not shown) in the housing case 3.

  When the storing operation of the tonneau cover 2 is completed, the operation handle 4 is grasped by hand, and the lock release lever 81 is pulled toward the grip 41 of the operation handle 4. Then, as described above, such a pulling force acts on the lock pin 71 via the wire rod 82, whereby the lock pin 71 is pulled and retracted so as not to protrude from the end of the storage case 3. Therefore, the storage case 3 can slide along the horizontal track 61 and the inclined track 62.

  Then, by pulling the operation handle 4 forward, the storage case 3 is slid along the horizontal track 61 and the inclined track 62. When the storage case 3 enters the storage recess 5 by this slide, the lid 51 is finally closed. Thus, the operation of closing the tonneau cover 2 is completed.

  According to the vehicle tonneau cover device 1 of the present embodiment described above, as a specific configuration, as described above, the storage recessed portion 5 is provided in the wheel house HO adjacent to the vehicle rear seat when viewed from the rear RS of the vehicle rear seat. It was provided in the position beyond. For this reason, the width of the storage recess 5 and the tonneau cover 2 accommodated therein is not limited to be shorter than before due to the presence of the wheel house HO, and the upper space of the wheel house HO is completely covered with the wide tonneau cover 2. Therefore, the luggage room LR having a large luggage capacity can be obtained in that the upper space of the wheel house HO can be used as a part of the luggage room LR that can be concealed by the tonneau cover 2.

  In addition to this, according to the vehicle tonneau cover device 1 of the present embodiment, the roller 63 moves along the horizontal track 61 and the inclined track 62, so that the roller 63 moves within the range from above the rear surface RS of the vehicle rear seat to the storage recess 5. The storage case 3 can be slid. For this reason, the operation of setting the storage case 3 at the position where the tonneau cover 2 is actually used (near the upper side of the rear RS of the rear seat of the vehicle) by such a slide, or the storage case 3 set at that position is inserted into the storage recess 5. The tonneau cover 2 can be quickly and simply stored in that the tonneau cover 2 can be smoothly and swiftly set up, that is, when the tonneau cover 2 is pulled out of the storage case 3 and used or stopped. It is suitable for making it possible to put in and take out.
