Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention removably connects the rear parcel (lid plate) of the rear luggage compartment of a car to the rear door that closes the rear opening of the car body, and when connected, it is linked to open the rear door. This invention relates to a rear parcel opening/closing device which can pull up and open the rear parcel.

For example, the front edge of the rear parcel of a hatchback-type vehicle is screwed into the luggage compartment. Conventionally, one end of a thick string made of vinyl chloride or a braided string of nylon thread was attached to each corner of the left and right corners of the rear edge. To connect to the door, tie the ring on the other end of the PVC string, or tie the knot on the other end of the braided string and pull it to the hook attached to the inside of the rear door. Multiply. However, in either case, the appearance is very rough, and especially in the case of a PVC string-like body, it is thick and difficult to bend, is heavy, and is uncomfortable to the touch.

Therefore, this project uses braided cords, but is much more sophisticated than before, and makes the left and right braided cords invisible, especially when the ends are not connected to the rear door.
When the tip is connected to the rear door, it has been improved so that it moves smoothly in conjunction with the opening and closing of the rear door, and will be described below with reference to the illustrated embodiment.

Figure 1 shows the state in which the tips of the braided cords 1, 1 are connected to the rear door 2 and the rear door is opened.By turning the rear door upward and opening it, the front edge of the rear parcel is screwed onto the vehicle body. 3 is pulled up by the left and right braided cords 1, 1 to open the storage section 4 in the lower part of the luggage compartment.

The lid plate has the above-mentioned braided cord 1 at each end along the rear edge of the lower surface.
A hollow member 6 accommodating an elastic contracting member 5 such as a rubber string or a coil spring connected to the hollow member 6 is fixed by adhesive or the like, and a hollow member 6 is provided outwardly from each end of the hollow member 6 to the left and right from each end of the hollow member 6. Hollow right angle guides 7, 7 are installed to smoothly guide the strings 1, 1 that have come out at right angles through the cover plate, and the brackets 8 on the left and right sides of the inner surface of the rear door 2 are attached to the ends of each string 1, 1. A hook 9 that removably locks the neck is fixed to the rear door, and when the hook 9 is not connected to the bracket of the rear door, it is made to stand up on the upper surface of the right angle guide 7 by the contractile force of the elastic contraction member 5. (See the right side of Figure 2).

The hollow member 6 can be obtained, for example, by cutting a rectangular pipe material extruded from aluminum into a piece slightly shorter than the width of the cover plate 3. Then, at each end of the hollow material, braided cord 1,
Plug 10 with a through hole in the center through which 1 can pass smoothly
It is also possible to attach each braided string 1 through the through hole, connect the tip of the braided string and each end of the elastic contraction member by tying them, and then push the plug into each end of the hollow member to fix it. . In this embodiment, the stopper 10 is split into two along the plane including the through hole, molded from plastic as two integral shells 10'' and 10'' connected by a thin hinge 10', and bent at the hinge 10' to separate the two shells. A shaft portion 10a that can be plunged into a hollow material when facing each other, and a head portion 10b extending from both sides of the shaft portion,
The shells 10'', 10'' are opened and each string is passed between them, then the shells are closed facing each other, and the shaft 10a is pushed into the hollow member from each end, and the head 10b is received on the end face of the hollow member. If necessary, each shell may be provided with claws or the like that engage with each other and prevent the shells from opening when closed facing each other. This stopper 10 has the effect of preventing each string from rubbing against the end face of the hollow member and being damaged and eventually being cut during use.

Holes are made on both rear sides of the cover plate slightly outward from each end of the hollow member, and the above-mentioned right angle guides 7 are inserted into these holes from above and fixed. Each right angle guide 7 is a plastic molded product having a cylindrical shaft 7a and a brim-like head 7b integrally provided at the upper end of the shaft. A notch 11 communicating with the hole 7' having a slightly larger diameter is formed with a width that allows the braided cord 1 to pass through, and a notch 12 is preferably made from below in the shaft tube 7a at a phase of 180° with respect to the notch 11. The braided strings coming out from each end of the hollow material are guided into the shaft cylinder through the cuts 11 and passed through the central hole 7' of the head, and the strings are bent at a substantially right angle at the upper end of the cuts 12. For this reason, the upper end of the notch 12 is made smooth to prevent damage to the braid when it rubs and moves. Then, insert the right angle guide 7 into the hole in the cover plate from above.
Push in and insert. For this reason, two vertically elongated windows are provided in the shaft cylinder 7a at a phase of 45° with respect to the cutout 11.
Each window is integrally provided with a claw piece 13 that gradually projects outward from the lower edge upwards and has a step at the upper end.When pushed into the hole in the cover plate from above, the claw piece 13,
13 is pushed inward, but when the lower surface of the head is pressed against the upper surface of the cover plate and the upper end step 13' passes down through the hole, the claw pieces 13, 13 elastically open outward and press against the lower surface of the head. and the step 13', so that it can be mounted in this manner.

The hook 9 is also a molded plastic product, and a semi-cylindrical fixed shell 9a stands up integrally on one half of the upper surface of a bottom plate 9', such as a circle, with a hole in the center for passing the braided cord 1 through. Similarly, a semi-cylindrical opening/closing shell 9b
are connected by a thin hinge 9'', and both shells 9a, 9b
When closed, the claws 9 provided on one shell lock the other shell to maintain the closed state. Therefore, braided cord 1
Pass it through the center hole of the circular bottom plate 9' from below to make a knot that will not come out from the center hole, and then close the opening and closing shell to accommodate the knot between the opposing inner surfaces of both shells and attach it to the end of each braided string 1. Hooks can be connected. When both shells are closed in this way, a hinge 9'' will protrude along one side of the body of the hook, and a seam between the free edges of both shells will appear on the other side, resulting in an unsightly appearance.To avoid this, a protrusion 14 resembling a hinge 9'' along the free edge of both shells 9a, 9b or one shell;
It is a good idea to provide

The neck 15 and the head 16 above the neck 15 integrally project upward from the fixed shell 9a. The length of the neck 15 in the vertical direction is slightly longer, and the collar 15' is arranged in multiple stages in the vertical direction.
to prevent it from coming off when hooked up to the bracket.

In this way, if the fixed shell 9a is provided on the bottom plate 9' and the neck 15 is provided on this fixed shell, the neck can be hooked on the bracket and the rear edge of the rear parcel can be lifted at the same time when the rear door is flipped open. Since the force does not act on the opening/closing shell 9b, both shells open unexpectedly.
It won't make you look unseemly. Of course, even if both shells are opened, the knot of the string does not come out of the center hole of the bottom plate, so the string and the hook remain connected, so there is no problem with the function.

As is clear from the above, according to the present invention, when the hook is not locked to the bracket of the rear door, the hook is pulled by the string 1 and the elastic contraction part 5, and stands on the upper surface of the right angle guide, so the string This prevents damage from being caused by luggage placed on the rear parcel and also improves the appearance. Moreover, the right angle guide guides the braid smoothly in the right angle direction, so that it does not damage the braid as well.

Therefore, the life of the braided cord can be extended and it can be operated reliably over a long period of time.
