Description

Dachaufbau für die Ladefläche eines Transportfahrzeuges Roof structure for the loading area of a transport vehicle
B e s c h r e i b u n gDescription
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Dachaufbau für die Ladefläche eines Transportfahrzeuges .The invention relates to a roof structure for the loading area of a transport vehicle.
Derartige Dachaufbauten sind allgemein bekannt. Sie schließen unmittelbar an die Rückseite des Fahrerhauses an. Durch solche Dachaufbauten wird ein im wesentlichen geschlossener Lade- oder zusätzlicher Fahrgastraum geschaffen.Such roof structures are generally known. They connect directly to the rear of the cab. Such roof structures create an essentially closed loading space or additional passenger compartment.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Dachaufbau für die Ladefläche eines Transportfahrzeuges zu schaffen, der im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik mehr Variationsmöglichkeiten erlaubt.The present invention has for its object to provide a roof structure for the loading area of a transport vehicle, which allows more variation options compared to the prior art.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.
Demnach ist der erfindungsgemäße Dachaufbau zweigeteilt, und zwar in eine unmittelbar an die Rückseite eines Fahrerhauses anschließbare Blende, und zwar in Fortsetzung von Dach- und Seitenwänden des Fahrerhauses, und einen daran anschließbaren Pick-up-Aufsatz unter Ausbildung des im wesentlichen geschlossenen Lade- oder Fahrgasträumes . Diese geteilte Ausführungsform hat den Vorteil, daß nach Abnahme des Pick-up- Aufsatzes das Transportfahrzeug nach wie vor elegant aussieht durch die optische Verlängerung des Fahrgastraumes dank der erfindungsgemäßen Blende. Dieser optische positive Eindruck wird zusätzlich verstärkt durch die Maßnahmen nach Anspruch 5, wonach die Höhe der seitlichen Begrenzung der Blende in Fortsetzung der Seitenwände des Fahrerhauses in Richtung von vorne nach hinten kontinuierlich oder stufenförmig abnimmt. Damit erhält auch der Transportteil des Fahrzeugs ein ansprechendes äußeres Aussehen. Des weiteren hat die Blende technisch den Vorteil, daß ein Rückfenster im Fahrerhaus weniger verschmutzt. Insbesondere bleibt das Rückfenster bei Regen nahezu trocken. Die erfindungsgemäße Blende erhöht also die Fahrsicherheit.Accordingly, the roof structure according to the invention is divided into two, namely in a panel that can be connected directly to the rear of a driver's cab, in continuation of the roof and side walls of the driver's cab, and a pick-up attachment that can be connected to it, forming the essentially closed loading or Passenger compartment. This divided embodiment has the advantage that after removal of the pick-up attachment, the transport vehicle still looks elegant due to the optical extension of the passenger compartment thanks to the panel according to the invention. This visual positive impression is additionally reinforced by the measures according to claim 5. after which the height of the lateral limitation of the panel decreases continuously or step-wise in the continuation of the side walls of the cab in the direction from the front to the rear. This also gives the transport part of the vehicle an attractive external appearance. Furthermore, the panel technically has the advantage that a rear window in the cab is less dirty. In particular, the rear window remains almost dry when it rains. The aperture according to the invention thus increases driving safety.
Konstruktive Details, insbesondere bezüglich der Abdichtung von Blende und Pick-up Aufsatz gegenüber den Bordwänden der Ladefläche, der Rückseite des Fahrerhauses und bezüglich der gegenseitigen Abdichtung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.Structural details, in particular with regard to the sealing of the panel and the pick-up attachment with respect to the side walls of the loading area, the rear of the driver's cab and with regard to the mutual sealing, are described in the subclaims.
Vorzugsweise ist die Blende so steif ausgebildet, daß sie als Überrollbügel dient. In diesem Fall besitzt die Blende eine Mehrfachfunktion .The diaphragm is preferably so rigid that it serves as a roll bar. In this case, the aperture has a multiple function.
Nachstehend wird eine Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Dachaufbaus anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:An embodiment of a roof structure designed according to the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Show it:

Das in den Figuren 1 bis 3 dargestellte Basisfahrzeug ist mit der Bezugsziffer 10 gekennzeichnet. Es umfaßt ein Fahrerhaus mit Fahrgastraum 11 und eine dahinter angeordnete Ladefläche 13 mit Ladebordwänden 14, 15, wobei die rückwärtige Ladebordwand 15 in herkömmlicherweise nach hinten unten abklappbar sein kann. Die Rückseite 16 des Fahrerhauses 11 umfaßt ein Rückfenster 12.The basic vehicle shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is identified by reference number 10. It comprises a driver's cabin with a passenger compartment 11 and a loading area 13 arranged behind it with tail lifts 14, 15, it being possible for the rear tail lift 15 to be folded down conventionally downwards. The rear 16 of the cab 11 includes a rear window 12.
Entsprechend Fig. 3 ist über der Ladefläche ein Dachaufbau 17 angeordnet, der sich zusammensetzt aus einer unmittelbar an die Rückseite 16 des Fahrerhauses 11 anschließbaren Blende 13 in Fortsetzung von Dach 19 und Seitenwänden 20 des Fahrerhauses 11, und einem daran anschließbaren Pick-up-Aufsatz bzw. Hardtop 21. Blende 18 und Hardtop 21 begrenzen einen allseits geschlossenen Lade- oder Fahrgastraum. Das Hardtop 21 weist vorzugsweise Seiten- und Rückfenster auf, wie der Figur 3 sehr gut entnommen werden kann. Die Blende 18 und das Hardtop 21 liegen auf den oberen Kanten 22 der Bordwände 14, 15 der Ladefläche auf, und zwar unter Zwischenschaltung von gummielastischen Dichtstreifen 23 (siehe Fig. 4) . Wie der Fig. 4 des weiteren entnommen werden kann, sind die Blende 18 und das Hardtop 21 ebenfalls unter Zwischenschaltung eines gummielastischen Dichtstreifens 24 aneinanderfügbar.According to FIG. 3, a roof structure 17 is arranged above the loading area, which is composed of a panel 13 that can be connected directly to the rear side 16 of the cab 11 in continuation of the roof 19 and side walls 20 of the cab 11, and a pick-up attachment that can be connected to it or hardtop 21. Panel 18 and hardtop 21 delimit a cargo or passenger compartment that is closed on all sides. The hardtop 21 preferably has side and rear windows, as can be seen very well in FIG. 3. The panel 18 and the hardtop 21 rest on the upper edges 22 of the side walls 14, 15 of the loading area, with the interposition of rubber-elastic sealing strips 23 (see FIG. 4). As can further be seen from FIG. 4, the panel 18 and the hardtop 21 can also be joined together with the interposition of a rubber-elastic sealing strip 24.
Gemäß Fig. 2 ist das Hardtop 21 abgenommen. Dementsprechend verbleibt nur die Blende 18, die dem Fahrzeug optisch ein elegantes Aussehen vermittelt. Des weiteren schützt die Blende 18 das Rückfenster 12 vor Verschmutzung und Regen. Auch können dadurch Windgeräusche erheblich reduziert werden. Bei Bedarf kann auch die Blende 18 abgenommen werden, um ein Fahrzeug entsprechend Fig. 1 zu erhalten.2, the hard top 21 is removed. Accordingly, only the panel 18 remains, which gives the vehicle an elegant appearance. Furthermore, the panel 18 protects the rear window 12 from dirt and rain. This can also significantly reduce wind noise. If necessary, the cover 18 can also be removed in order to obtain a vehicle according to FIG. 1.
Die Blende 18 und das Hardtop 21 sind mittels jeweils zugeordneter Klemmeinrichtungen, nämlich Klemmbügel 25 an den seitlichen Bordwänden 14 der Ladefläche befestigbar. Entsprechend Fig. 5 sind die Klemmbügel 25 etwa C-förmig ausgebildet, wobei zwischen den einander zugewandten Stirnseiten der beiden Schenkel des Klemmbügels die Unterkante der Blende 18 bzw. des Hardtops 21 einerseits und die obere Kante 22 der seitlichen Bordwände 14 plazierbar sind. Die beiden Klemmschenkel des Klemmbügels 25 sind in Figur 5 mit den Bezugsziffern 26 und 27 gekennzeichnet. Die beiden Klemmschenkel sind im Bereich ihres Verbindungssteges 28 durch eine Schraubspindel 29 miteinander verbunden, so daß durch Betätigung der Schraubspindel 29 die Schenkel 26, 27 aufeinanderzu bewegbar sind unter Festklemmung von Unterkante der Blende 18 bzw. des Hardtops 21 einerseits und Oberkante 22 der seitlichen Ladebordwände 14 andererseits, und zwar unter Zwischenschaltung eines gummielastischen Dichtstreifens 23. Eine gesonderte Festklemmung zwischen Hardtop 21 und Blende 18 ist entbehrlich. Die Abdichtung zwischen diesen beiden Teilen erfolgt durch Festklemmung des Hardtops 21 unmittelbar an den seitlichen Ladebordwänden 14.The panel 18 and the hardtop 21 can be fastened to the lateral side walls 14 of the loading area by means of respectively assigned clamping devices, namely clamping brackets 25. 5, the clamping brackets 25 are approximately C-shaped, the lower edge of the panel 18 or the hardtop 21 on the one hand and the upper edge 22 of the lateral side walls 14 being able to be placed between the facing end faces of the two legs of the clamping bracket. The two clamping legs of the clamping bracket 25 are identified in FIG. 5 by the reference numbers 26 and 27. The two clamping legs are connected to one another in the region of their connecting web 28 by a screw spindle 29, so that the legs 26, 27 can be moved towards one another by actuating the screw spindle 29 while clamping the lower edge of the panel 18 or the hardtop 21 on the one hand and the upper edge 22 of the side tail lifts 14 on the other hand, with the interposition of a rubber-elastic sealing strip 23. A separate clamping between the hard top 21 and the panel 18 is unnecessary. The sealing between these two parts takes place by clamping the hardtop 21 directly on the side tail lifts 14.
Der Fig. 4 kann auch noch entnommen werden, daß die4 can also be seen that the
Festklemmung von Blende 18 und Hardtop 21 jeweils an der Innenseite der seitlichen Bordwände 14 erfolgt.Clamping of panel 18 and hardtop 21 takes place on the inside of the side side walls 14.
Eine Festklemmung an der hinteren Ladebordwand 15 ist bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform nicht vorgesehen, da dieseA clamping on the rear tail lift 15 is not provided in the illustrated embodiment, since this
Ladebordwand abklappbar sein soll, um auf diese Weise Zugang zur Ladefläche zu haben. Um diesen Zugang zu erleichtern, kann auch die Rückseite des Hardtops 21 nach oben aufklappbar sein. Diesbezüglich handelt es sich um an sich bekannte konstruktive Maßnahmen, die keiner näheren Beschreibung an dieser Stelle bedürfen.The tail lift should be foldable so that it has access to the loading area. In order to facilitate this access, the rear of the hardtop 21 can also be opened upwards. In this regard, there are known design measures that do not require a detailed description at this point.
Die Angriffsflächen für den Klemmbügel 25 bzw. dessen Schenkel 26, 27 an der unteren Begrenzung der Blende 18 einerseits und der Oberkante 22 der seitlichen Bordwände 14 andererseits sind in Figur 4 mit den Bezugsziffern 30, 31 gekennzeichnet.The contact surfaces for the clamping bracket 25 or its legs 26, 27 on the lower boundary of the panel 18 on the one hand and the upper edge 22 of the side side walls 14 on the other hand are identified in FIG. 4 by the reference numbers 30, 31.
Wie den Figuren 2 und 3 entnommen werden kann, nimmt die Höhe der seitlichen Begrenzung der Blende 18 in Richtung von vorne nach hinten stufenförmig ab. Die Blende 18 ist also durch einen relativ schmalen Streifen nach hinten verlängert. Dadurch wird zum einen das optische Aussehen des Fahrzeuges aufgewertet. Zum anderen wird auch eine erhöhte Ladebordwand in dem sich unmittelbar an das Fahrerhaus anschließenden Teil der Ladefläche halten.As can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3, the height of the lateral limitation of the diaphragm 18 increases in the direction from the front gradually backwards. The aperture 18 is thus extended to the rear by a relatively narrow strip. On the one hand, this improves the visual appearance of the vehicle. On the other hand, an elevated tail lift will also be held in the part of the loading area immediately adjacent to the driver's cab.
Bei entsprechend steifer Ausbildung der Blende 18 kann diese als Überrollbügel dienen.With a correspondingly rigid design of the panel 18, this can serve as a roll bar.
Es versteht sich von selbst, daß zwischen der Rückseite des Fahrerhauses 11 und den an dieser anliegenden Kanten der Blende 18 ebenfalls ein gummielastischer Dichtstreifen angeordnet ist. Die Fixierung der Blende 18 an den seitlichen Ladebordwänden 14 soll so erfolgen, daß keine zusätzliche Fixierung an der Rückseite des Fahrerhauses 11 erforderlich ist.It goes without saying that a rubber-elastic sealing strip is also arranged between the rear of the driver's cab 11 and the edges of the panel 18 resting thereon. The panel 18 is to be fixed to the side tail lifts 14 in such a way that no additional fixing to the rear of the cab 11 is required.
