Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a rear gate bed installed in a vehicle such as a van or a hatchback. More specifically, the present invention relates to a rear gate bed for a vehicle that is attached to the rear end of the vehicle, can be folded and stored when not in use, and can be easily put into use at the rear of the vehicle when necessary.

For transporting vehicles, there was a need for a bed that could be easily used for rest during periods of rest, etc., but it could be stored without taking up a lot of space inside the vehicle, and could be easily set up for use when needed. The reality is that nothing that can be done has previously been developed.

In view of the above-mentioned requirements, the present invention consists of a backrest portion and a leg rest made of a substantially U-shaped pipe frame, a body portion made of two rod-shaped pipe frames connecting them, and a body portion that supports this body portion. The bed main body is composed of a leg portion that is foldable, and the backrest portion and the leg rest portion are configured to be foldable via a pivoting means that can adjust the angle with respect to the torso portion, and the bed main body is foldable. In order to store the bed in a recess formed in a rear floor surface of a vehicle, a rod-shaped pipe frame forming a body portion of the bed body is rotatably supported on a wall surface of the recess. This invention relates to a rear gate bed for vehicles that can be easily folded and stored in the rear luggage compartment of vehicles such as vans and hatchbacks, and can also be easily put into use when not in use. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a rear gate bed for a vehicle that can be used in a vehicle.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the structure of the Example based on this invention will be described in detail based on drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the usage state of the rear gate bed for a vehicle according to the present invention.
are approximately U-shaped metal pipe frames 2a, 3a.
A backrest part 2 and a leg rest part 3, and two metal rod-shaped pipe frames 4 that connect them.
It is composed of a body section 4 consisting of a and 4b, and further leg sections 5.

The backrest portion 2 and the leg rest portion 3 are configured to be foldable so as to be able to adjust their angle relative to the body portion 4 by means of a pivoting means which will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the use state, the body part 4 and the leg rest part 3 form a substantially flat surface, and the backrest part 2 is fixed in a slightly raised position. Reference numeral 6 in the figure is a fixture for fixing the body part 4 and the leg rest part 3.

In addition, 2c, 3c, 4c are the respective frames,
2a, 3a, 4a, and 4b are bed sheets.

Next, the procedure for storing the bed main body 1 according to the present invention will be explained based on FIGS. 2 and 3.

FIG. 2 is a side view showing the bed main body 1 in use.

First, the fixture 6 is removed and the leg portion 5 is rotated in the direction of arrow A. The leg portion 5 is pivoted by a pin 42 to a U-shaped frame 41 that is welded and fixed to a pipe frame 4 a that constitutes the body portion 4 . (See FIG. 4) Next, the leg rest 3 is rotated in the direction of arrow B.

The pipe frame 3a constituting the leg rest 3 and the pipe frames 4a and 4b of the body part 4 are configured to be rotatable and adjustable in angle by a ratchet mechanism 7. Furthermore, the backrest part 2, which is pivotally attached to the body part 4, is tilted down in the direction of arrow C by the ratchet mechanism 8, and in this way, the backrest part 2 and the leg part 5 are superposed on the leg rest part 3, respectively, on the body part 4. In this state, rotate the bed body 1 around the pivot pin 43 to move the bed body 1 into the recess 10 formed in the floor surface 9 of the vehicle.
(See Figure 3). In addition, code 1 in the figure
1 indicates the rear bumper.

FIG. 5 shows a detailed illustration of the ratchet mechanism 8, in which the frame 4a of the body section 4 has a branch piece 81.
is fixed to the center of this branch piece 81, and a locking plate 85, which is approximately circular and has a large number of locking teeth 82 and a projection 8d for flipping up the locking pawl 83 on a part of its outer periphery, is fixed by an appropriate means. A rotating piece 86 fixed to the backrest frame 2a is mounted on a shaft 8 approximately at the center of the locking plate 85.
It is rotatably pivoted by 7. The locking pawl 83 has its base pivotally attached to the back surface of the rotating piece 86 with a stud 88, and one end attached to the back surface of the rotating piece 86 with a pin 88.
The other end of the spring 90 fixed by the pin 91 is fixed to the substantially center of the back surface of the locking pawl 83 by a pin 91 beyond the stud 88, and the locking pawl 83 is raised by the flying action of the spring 90. There is.

Therefore, when the backrest portion 2 is raised, the locking claw 8
3 is raised by the protrusion 84 and the locking tooth 82
It disengages from the engagement and is pulled by the spring 90,
Since the spring 90 is located outside the stud 88, the locking pawl 83 rises and is held in that position. When the backrest portion 2 is folded down and rotated to the final stage of the locking teeth 82 of the locking plate 85, the locking pawl 83 is pressed down by the outer peripheral flange of the branch piece 81, and the spring 90 is moved to a position inward from the stud 88. Since the locking pawl 83 is brought down and engaged with the locking tooth 82, the backrest portion 2 can be raised from that position to a desired position and held at that position.

Incidentally, since the ratchet mechanism 7 that connects the body section 4 and the leg rest section 3 also uses the same structure as this method, a description thereof will be omitted.

Although the ratchet mechanism is used as the pivoting means as described above, it is not limited to this.

Furthermore, if the surface side of the bed sheet 3c of the leg rest 3 is made of the same material and the same color as the floor surface 9, it will be aesthetically pleasing.

As detailed above, the present invention has a compact foldable structure, so it can be easily stored in the passenger compartment, and it is stored under the floor of the luggage compartment, etc., so the bed does not appear on the floor and spoils the appearance. or prevent other items from being placed. Moreover, it can be easily set up for use outside the vehicle interior if necessary, and it is also easy to store. In addition, since the angle can be adjusted as appropriate, it can be used as a comfortable bed. As described above, the present invention has various effects and has practical value.
