Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a cover apparatus for a car,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a loading lid apparatus for a vehicle, and more particularly to a loading lid apparatus for a vehicle, which is installed on a top surface of a loading box provided on a rear side of a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) or a small pick- The lid body can be stably erected in a state in which the lid body is opened when the lid body is opened and closed while the rear end of the lid body is rotated in the vertical direction with respect to the front end, The lid body can be kept in a horizontal state at all times and the lid body can be discharged to the outside of the luggage compartment when rainwater or the like is introduced from the outside, .

In recent years, as people's living standards have increased, interest in leisure and recreational activities has been increasing. This phenomenon is also seen in automobiles, which are indispensable to our life.

In the past, automobiles were limited in their use only for simple transport or freight transportation. Recently, recreational vehicles (RVs), which are more economical and more active in addition to general passenger vehicles, have become popular.

Such leisure vehicles include sports utility vehicles (SUVs), multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs) with enhanced versatility, wagon-type vehicles with excellent driving performance on off-roads and rough roads, A Sports Utility Truck (SUT) that forms the rear part of a conventional SUV like a truck, and a crossover utility vehicle (CUV).

Today, due to the diversification of consumers' desires and the tendency to pursue practicality and convenience together, interest in these vehicles has increased greatly, and the sales volume of vehicles is also increasing.

Among these, the sports utility truck (hereinafter referred to as "SUT") is a type of vehicle distinguished from conventional large commercial trucks used only for pure cargo transportation (for example, Ssangyong Motorsport, Actyon Sports, Etc.), it is widely used without discrimination of passenger, business, and leisure because of the advantage of having comfortable and sufficient passenger space while having a wide loading space at the same time.

However, in addition to such a SUT, a loading box formed on a small pickup truck is provided in the form of an open space with an upper surface to facilitate loading of cargo, like a general commercial truck.

As described above, when the cargo loaded in the loading box with the upper surface opened is exposed to the outside, the appearance of the vehicle becomes very bad, and when the small cargo loaded on the loading cargo falls on the road during driving, Which is a major threat.

Accordingly, in recent years, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1282896 (name: cover device for a soft top type vehicle loading box) has been proposed as a prior art.

The prior art of Japanese Patent No. 10-1282896 includes a cover of a soft top type which slides forward and backward from the upper side of the vehicle loading box to open and close the upper surface of the vehicle loading box; Guide rails extending forward and backward along left and right side portions of the vehicle loading box in a state where the side end portions of the cover are coupled to guide sliding movement of the cover; And a winding device that is installed at a front end of the vehicle loading box and pulls out and elastically winds the cover with the front end of the cover being wound.

However, in the prior art, there is a problem that the installation work is very inconvenient because the guide rails in which both side edges of the cover are fitted are provided on both left and right side portions of the loading box so that the opening and closing operation of the cover is performed while being slid in the forward and backward directions .

In addition, since the cover needs to be wound around a separate winding device in order to open the loading box, the structure is complicated, and in order for the cover to be repeatedly wound, the cover must be made of a relatively soft material, There is a problem that space utilization is limited because it is difficult to mount other articles.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a sports utility vehicle (SUV) or a state of being installed on the upper surface of a loading box provided at the rear of a small pick- And a rear end of the loading / unloading lid is rotated in a vertical direction with respect to a front end of the loading / unloading lid.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a lid body that can stably stand up when the lid is opened, and can keep the lid body in a horizontal state at all times when the lid is covered with the lid, And to provide a loading car lid device for a new vehicle.
