Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] This invention relates to an improvement in a spare tire storage device for an automobile.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

Generally, in a sedan-type car, a recess is provided in the trunk area at the rear end of the car body to store the spare tire, a lid is placed flush with the floor, and luggage is placed on top of the recess. I am able to put it there. In addition, even in the light van type automatic 1P, a concave part is installed in the loading platform at the rear end of the vehicle body.
A spare tire is stored inside the compartment, and a lid is attached so that it becomes the same as a loading platform so that cargo can be loaded.

If there is no luggage, it is convenient to be able to immediately remove the lid and take out the spare tire, but if there is luggage, the lid cannot be opened unless the luggage on the lid is removed first. Can not. Especially when there is a lot of luggage, it is difficult and inconvenient to move the luggage.

In addition, in a truck-type vehicle, a rotating hanging piece is provided on the underside of the loading platform, a spare tire is stored in this hanging piece, and the rear end of the hanging piece is rotated downward. I'm trying to pull out the spare tire. For example, Utsukaisei 62-198
See Publication No. 144. In this case, you can take out the spare tire regardless of the cargo in the cargo bed or trunk, but you must unlock the hanging piece or pull out the spare tie A7 instead of lifting it. It is more troublesome than removing the spare tire and removing it.

[Purpose of the invention]

This invention allows a spare tire to be stored in a recessed part of a loading platform and a lid attached thereto, and the spare tire can be taken out by removing the lid, and a bottom piece that passes through the lower surface of the recessed part and can be rotated to the lower surface. To provide an easy-to-use and convenient automatic spare tire storage device in which the spare tire can be pulled out by rotating the bottom piece and lifting the rear side when there is luggage. .

[Structure of the invention]

The present invention will be explained below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

A concave part 2 with a penetrating lower surface is provided in a loading platform 1 part at the rear end of a Φ body of an automobile. A step 3 is provided on the upper edge of the recess 2. When the lid 4 is fitted into the step 3 and the lid 4 is attached to the recess 2, the top surface of the lid 4 is flush with the loading platform 1. It should be facing up. Further, brackets 5 are attached to the lower surface of the loading platform 1 before and after the concave portion 2. Bottom piece 6 disposed on the lower surface of the recess W2
The front end of the bottom piece 6 is rotatably attached to the front bracket 5 using a support shaft, and the rear end of the bottom piece 6 is detachably connected to the rear bracket 5 with a thumbscrew or the like. A spare tire 7 is housed in the recessed part 2.

[Action of the invention]

If there is no cargo on the loading platform 1, as shown in Figure 2,
The lid body 4 can be opened upward, and the spare tire 7 can be lifted and taken out. When there is cargo on the loading platform 1, as shown in FIG. 3, when the rear end of the bottom piece 6 is removed from the rear bracket 5, the bottom piece 6 will slide downwards around the bracket 5 at the front end. Rotate and listen. The spare tie V7 can then be pulled out to the rear and taken out. The attachment and detachment of the bottom plate 6 is on the underside of the cargo platform 1, and it cannot be removed unless the spare tie A77 is also pulled out, so it is more troublesome than simply removing the lid 4 and taking out the spare tire 7, but the lid 4 It's much more convenient than having to lower all the luggage on top and load it up. Especially when it rains, you won't have to worry about getting your luggage wet.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention provides a concave portion through which the lower surface passes through the loading platform of a personal vehicle, the front end is pivoted to the front side of the concave portion on the lower surface of the concave portion, and the rear end is attached to and detached from the rear side of the concave portion. A bottom piece that can be attached freely is provided, a cover is attached to the top surface of the recess, and a spare tire is stored in the recess.If there is no cargo on the cargo platform, the spare tire can be immediately accessed by removing the fingers. You can take out the tire. Also, if there is a load on the loading platform, remove the rear end of the bottom piece and rotate it downwards.
The spare tire can be pulled out. Moreover, it is convenient because it saves the trouble of moving the cargo, and there is no need to unload the W4 cargo and get it wet in the rain. This makes it even more convenient to put in and take out the spare tire.

Fig. 3 is a longitudinal side view of the spare tire taken out downwards, and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the spare tire as seen from the rear side.
