When the left shelf board is tilted downward, the leg member is taken out, and the removed leg member is placed on the left side. Installed between the right end of the shelf board and the floor of the box-type cargo compartment. Since a heavy item of several hundred kg is also placed on the shelf board, if the installation state of the leg members is poor, the shelf board is inclined downward and the load cannot be transported safely.

For this reason, it is necessary to pay sufficient attention to the installation of the leg members, and it takes time to install the leg members. Further, in the shelf system, a leg member is installed below the right end side of the left shelf board, and the leg member is arranged at the approximate center in the width direction of the box-type cargo compartment. In addition, the first-stage cargo space is divided into left and right by the leg members, which is not preferable.

Furthermore, in the shelf system, in order to install the shelf in the width direction in the box-type cargo compartment, the left shelf is released from being fixed to the side wall and the left shelf is tilted downward. Then, an operation of taking out and installing the leg member of the left shelf board and an operation of releasing the fixation of the right shelf board to the side wall and tilting the right shelf board downward are required. For this reason, the time required for installation of a shelf board becomes long. In order to store the shelf, the right shelf is tilted upward and fixed to the side wall, the leg member is stored, and the left shelf is tilted upward and fixed to the side wall. Work is required. For this reason, the time required for storing the shelf board becomes longer.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and the time required to install and store the shelves without dividing the first-stage loading space in the vehicle width direction even when the two-stage stacking is performed.

Has been. The other end of the spring 53 is attached to a first attachment portion 54a of a pulley bracket 54 provided on the left side of the vehicle. Thus, the pulley bracket 54 having the same shape can be attached to both sides in the vehicle width direction, and the pulley 52 and the spring 53 can be attached to the pulley bracket 54, which is advantageous in reducing the number of parts.

One end of the wire 51 is fixed to the upper end of the main body 31a of the fitting member 31 via the wire fixing member 51a and to the outside in the vehicle width direction with respect to the central axis of the shaft member S (the tilting axis of the beam member 33). . The wire fixing member 51a has a male screw portion (not shown), and the male screw portion is screwed into a female screw portion (not shown) formed in the main body portion 31a, whereby the wire fixing member 51a is fixed to the main body portion 31a. A wire coupling portion 51b such as a through hole is provided on the upper end side of the wire fixing member 51a, and one end of the wire 51 is coupled to the wire coupling portion 51b.

With the above configuration, an upward biasing force is applied to each shelf unit 30. Further, the urging mechanism 50 is configured to allow the vertical movement of the shelf unit 30. Since each shelf unit 30 is not light, the urging mechanism 50 is arranged to arrange each shelf unit 30 at an arbitrary height position, adjust the vertical position of each shelf unit 30, and each shelf unit. This is advantageous for making the work such as storage above 30 easy and safe.

Further, since the wire 51 whose one end is connected to the fitting member 31 of each shelf unit 30 and the spring (biasing member) 53 that urges the wire 51 upward is used, It is possible to apply an upward biasing force to each shelf board unit 30 while reducing interference with the space for loading the cargo as much as possible or without causing interference.

In addition, since one end of the wire 51 is fixed to the upper end of the body portion 31 a of the fitting member 31 and to the outside in the vehicle width direction with respect to the central axis of the shaft member S, the body of the fitting member 31 is urged by the urging force of the spring 53. When the portion 31 a is pulled up, the upper end side of the main body portion 31 a is not easily caught by the vertical rail 20. The same configuration can be adopted for the fitting member of the end support beam 40.

In the above configuration, the spring 53 extends as the fitting member 31 goes down, and the urging force of the spring 53 increases accordingly. On the other hand, it is also possible to use a spring balancer instead of the spring 53 so that the urging force is substantially constant regardless of the position of the fitting member 31.

Also, it is possible to use a rod-shaped member instead of the wire 51. In this case, one end of the rod-shaped member is connected to the fitting member 31, and a biasing member such as a spring is connected to the other end of the rod-shaped member, and one end of the rod-shaped member is biased upward by the biasing member.

The biting of the lower end of the collar portion 31b is reduced or eliminated.
Since the chamfer 31g is also formed at the upper end of the surface 31f facing the outside, when the shelf unit 30 is moved upward, the main body 31a rotates in the direction opposite to the arrow A and the surface 31f facing the outside faces. It is possible to prevent the upper end from biting into the bottom surface 21a.

In addition, the R chamfer 31h is formed at the vehicle front-rear direction ends of the lower end and the upper end of the flange portion 31b, so that the posture of the body portion 31a of the fitting member 31 changes to the bottom surface 21a of the vertical rail 20 when changed. It is possible to more effectively prevent the lower end and the upper end of the collar portion 31b from biting.
In addition, by forming the R chamfer in a range of 3 mm or more in the vertical direction instead of the chamfer 31g, the same effect as that in the case of providing the chamfer 31g can be expected.
The same configuration can be adopted for the fitting member of the end support beam 40.

Instead of providing the hole 35d of the lock member operating mechanism 35 of the above embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, a pipe 37 is fixed to the surface of the movable member 35a facing the rear of the vehicle.
