Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a top storage structure for an open car having a foldable top.

(Prior Art) A canopy 4 that covers the cabin of a convertible car is configured so that it can be expanded forward and upward from above the trunk and can be folded and stored in the upper part of the trunk room 5. If the folded canopy protrudes significantly upward from the trunk lid 8, it will impair rear visibility, become a running resistance, and be easily damaged, so it should be located as low as possible, that is, inside the trunk compartment 5. is required to be configured.

Therefore, in the past, British Patent No. 1019195
As shown in Figure 4, a compartment 26 is formed in the front upper part of the luggage compartment 5, and this compartment 2
It is configured to store a folded canopy 4 inside the canopy 6.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the above-mentioned conventional technology, the volume of the trunk room 5 is always reduced by the compartment 26, and when the canopy roof 4 is expanded, the compartment 26 becomes a dead space. becomes.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention makes it possible to place the folded canopy 4 on the rear parcel shelf 11 in front of the rear body panel 10 and to make it movable up and down into the trunk room 5. , it is possible to solve the problems of the prior art.

That is, the specific structure of the problem-solving means of the present invention is characterized by covering the upper front part of the trunk compartment 5 with the rear body panel 10 and the rear parcel shelf 11 in front of it, and extending from the rear body panel 10 to the front upper part. In an open car in which a foldable top roof 4 is displayed to cover the passenger compartment, the rear parcel shelf 11 is capable of placing the folded top roof 4 and is movable up and down with respect to the body 1. It is attached and can be lowered into the trunk room 5 with the canopy 4 placed thereon.

(Function) When the canopy roof 4 is unfolded, the rear parcel shelf 11 whose rear end is pivoted to the rear body panel 10 is pulled up to the canopy rib 15 which supports the hood 16 at its front part. When the canopy roof 4 is folded, the canopy rib 15 moves downward and the lifting body 22 also descends, and the front part of the rear parcel shelf 11 is placed in the trunk room 5.
It descends inward to form a space above the upper surface for storing the folded canopy 4.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In Figures 1 to 3, 1 is the body of an open car, in which a front seat and a rear seat 2 are arranged, a trunk 3 is formed at the rear, and the passenger compartment can be opened and closed with a canopy 4. There is.

The trunk 3 can store a spare tire 6 and other items in its trunk compartment 5. The front part of the trunk compartment 5 is separated from the interior by a partition plate 7, and a trunk cover 9 is provided on the rear side of the trunk lid 8 at the upper part. , a rear body panel 10 is fixed to the front side, and a rear parcel shelf 11 is further installed between the rear body panel 10 and the rear seat 2.
is located.

The canopy roof 4 has multiple canopy ribs 15a, 15b, 15.
c and a hood 16 supported by these. The hood 16 is formed by sewing together a top hood 16a, a rear hood 16b, and a side hood 16c. The lower end of the rear hood 16b is attached to the fastening flange portion 18 of the trunk lid 8 and the rear body panel 10, and a rear window member 19 formed of a glass panel or a transparent plastic panel is attached to the center portion thereof.
Its upper part is sewn to the rear crossbar 15a together with the rear end of the top hood 16a.

The three canopies 15a, 15b, and 15c are pivotally connected to a ring bracket 20 fixed to the sidewall portion of the body 1, and the rear crossbar 15a
, a control link 15b, and a guide rail 15c, and three canopy ribs 15a, 15.
By swinging b and 15c in the front and rear directions, the hood 16 is expanded and contracted, and the canopy roof 4 is expanded and folded.

The rear parcel shelf 11 is located at approximately the same height as the rear body panel 10 and is formed of a flat plate on which the folded canopy 4 can be placed, and the rear part thereof has a hinge 21.
The front part is connected to the rear body panel 10 via the front part, and is rotatable around a horizontal axis so that the front part can be raised and lowered.

Further, at least one side of the front part of the rear parcel shelf 11 is connected with a pulling body 22 formed of a string or chain between the rear cross bar 15a, and when the roof 16 is deployed, the rear cross bar 15a is connected to the rear cross bar 15a.
5a, the rear parcel shelf 11 can be suspended in a substantially horizontal state, and when the rear cross bar 15a is tilted backward, this pulling body 22 is loosened, allowing the rear parcel shelf 11 to descend.

There is an auxiliary plate 2 at the front end of the rear parcel shelf 11.
3 is attached so that it can be bent freely, and is formed so that it is on the same plane as the rear parcel shelf 11 (as shown by the imaginary line in Figure 1) by a stopper and a spring (not shown), and the backrest part of the rear seat 2 The auxiliary plate 23 is bent to cover the space between the backrest portion and the rear parcel shelf 11 when the angle is adjusted.

When the canopy roof 4 is in the unfolded state shown by the solid line in FIG. 1, the rear parcel shelf 11 is suspended from the rear crossbar 15a and is in a horizontal state, on which articles can be placed, and the trunk compartment is 5
Since it does not protrude inward, articles can be stored in the trunk compartment 5 without being obstructed by the rear parcel shelf 11, that is, the hood storage member.

When the canopy roof 4 is folded down when the canopy is not needed, the three canopy ribs 1
5a, 15b, 15c and the roof 16 are placed on the rear parcel shelf 11, and as the pulling body 22 of the rear parcel shelf 11 is loosened, the front part of the rear parcel shelf 11 descends into the trunk room 5.

Since the rear parcel shelf 11 is connected to the rear cross bar 15a by the pulling body 22, when the rear cross bar 15a hits the rear body panel 10 etc. and the descent is stopped, the rear parcel shelf 11 will be connected to the rear cross bar 15a by the pulling body 22. does not descend.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, but can be modified in various ways, and any known canopy roof 4 can be used as appropriate. For example, as a modification of the present invention, a stopper for setting the upper and lower limit positions of the elevation of the rear parcel shelf 11 is attached to the body 1.
The rear parcel shelf 11 is installed on the hinge 21.
The rear parcel shelf 11 is pivoted on the front side to raise and lower the rear part, and the rear parcel shelf 11 is connected to the left and right side walls of the body 1. It is conceivable to provide a pantograph type elevating mechanism between them so that the rear parcel shelf 11 can be raised and lowered in a horizontal position, and these may be combined as appropriate.

(Effects of the invention) According to the invention detailed above, the rear parcel shelf 11 in front of the rear body panel 10 can place the folded canopy 4 and can move up and down into the trunk room 5. Therefore, the folding canopy 4 can be almost stored inside the trunk 5, and when the canopy 4 is unfolded, it rises from inside the trunk 5, which eliminates the reduction in volume of the trunk 5. Can be done.
