Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention is a vehicle in which a passenger compartment and a trunk compartment for storing luggage are formed in one space, and the vehicle compartment and trunk compartment are closed in an openable and closable manner. This concerns the tonneau cover.

[Summary of the invention] The present invention consists of dividing the lower part of a plate-shaped tonneau cover that is removable from the trunk compartment into a tonneau cover body and a divided part, and rotating integrally with the divided part. , a bottom board with a box-like body that can be expanded and contracted is provided on the top, and a wheel is provided on the bottom end of the tonneau cover body, and a handle is provided on the top end, making it possible to use it as a chair or a wheeled handbag. The purpose is to provide a tonneau cover.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be described in detail based on the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view of a vehicle equipped with a tonneau cover according to the present invention. In the drawing, 1 is a vehicle body that can run on wheels 2, and a trunk compartment 3 of the vehicle body 1 is covered with a tonneau cover according to the present invention. It is removably closed by 4. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which the tonneau cover 4 according to the present invention is removed from the trunk compartment 3. The tonneau cover 4, which can be attached to and detached from the trunk compartment 3, is divided at the lower part, and has a tonneau cover main body 5 and a divided part 5a. It is composed of The divided portion 5a can swing in the direction of arrow A by a hinge 6, and can rotate to a perpendicular state with respect to the tonneau cover main body 5. In addition, the divided portion 5a
As shown in Figures 3 to 6, the lower end of the
A leg 7 formed by bending a pipe into a U-shape is pivotably supported in the direction of arrow B to a position substantially perpendicular to the divided portion 5a, and the leg 7 abuts against the stop member 7a at the perpendicular position. By holding the same position, the tips of the legs 7 touch the ground, and even when a load is applied, the divided portions 5a are held on the ground so as to remain substantially perpendicular to the tonneau cover body 5.

Further, a rectangular bottom board portion 8 is fixed to a pair of frames 13 with one end 13f fixed to the back surface of the divided portion 5a, and when the divided portion 5a is bent at right angles to the tonneau cover main body 5, , the bottom board portion 8 is bent approximately at right angles to the opposite side with the tonneau cover body 5 as the center. That is, the bottom board portion 8 is provided on the back side of the tonneau cover main body 5, and is connected to the divided portion 5a via the frame 13.
The split portion 5a rotates together with the split portion 5a. A box-shaped body 9 formed of a bellows-like wall body that is expandable and retractable in the direction of the bottom board section 8 is mounted on the top of the bottom board section 8 . This box-like body 9 is expandable and retractable along tube bodies 10 fixed to both side edges of the tonneau cover main body 5, and in the extended state, both tube bodies 10
The L-shaped locking body 11, which is pivotally supported by the box-shaped body 9, is locked with ring-shaped hooks 12 formed on both upper edges of the box-shaped body 9, thereby maintaining the same extended state. A band 40 (shown in FIG. 2) is attached to each of the pair of frames 13, and when the bottom board portion 8 is folded toward the back side of the tonneau cover body 5, the box-like body 9 is It is locked in a contracted state and held in a contracted state. Note that 14 is a hook with which the band 40 can be fastened.

A support 15 bent into a crank shape is fitted into the lower end of both tubes 10 so as to be rotatable in the direction of arrow C, and a wheel 16 is mounted on a support shaft 47 at the lower end of each of the supports 15. It is supported pivotably. A small hole 17 is bored in the upper end of both supports 15, and a locking pin 18 having a T-shaped cross section is installed in the small hole 17 so that it can be locked and protruded. 17 is pushed outward by a spring 19 installed therein. The tip of the locking pin 18 is connected to both tubes 10.
The locking holes 20 are inserted into and removed from locking holes 20 drilled at the lower end of the tube body 10, and two locking holes 20 are drilled in each of the tube bodies 10 in order to hold the wheels 16 in the use position and storage position. be done. Further, both ends of a handle portion 21 formed by bending a pipe into a U-shape are slidably inserted into the upper end portions of both tube bodies 10.

According to the configuration of the above embodiment, the band 40 is first removed from the folded state shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, by rotating the legs 7 toward the ground and holding the divided portion 5a in the perpendicular state, it becomes possible to sit on the divided portion 5a, and the tonneau cover 4 can be used as a chair.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, from this state, the box-like body 9 is pulled up along the tube body 10 as shown by the arrow D, the hook 12 is engaged with the locking body 11, and the support 15 in the direction of arrow C, inserting the locking pin 18 into the small hole 17 to fix and hold the wheel 16 in the use position, and then attaching the handle part 21 to the tubular body 10.
By pulling out the tonneau cover 4 from the box-like body 9, the tonneau cover 4 can be used as a wheeled handbag that can carry small items inside the box-like body 9. In this case, the legs 7 are folded in the direction of the divided portion 5a.

Furthermore, when the tonneau cover 4 is not used as a wheeled handbag or a chair, the wheels 16 are folded by the support 15, and the bottom board part 8 is folded onto the back side of the tonneau cover main body 5 by the frame 13, band 40, and hook 14. By placing it in place, it has the same shape as a conventional tonneau cover and can be used as an original tonneau cover.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, according to the tonneau cover of the present invention, the tonneau cover, which normally blocks the opening of the trunk compartment, is divided into the tonneau cover body and the divided parts, and the wheels, the bottom board part, and the retractable parts are separated. A flexible box-shaped body,
Since it is configured with hinges and legs, the wheels can be pulled out and the legs can hold the divided part on the ground side at right angles to the tonneau cover body, so the divided part can be used as a chair that can be sat on. In addition, the legs can be folded and the box-shaped body on the bottom board bent at right angles to the tonneau cover body can be extended upwards. It has the effect that it can be used as
