Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a guard frame for a vehicle loading platform, and more particularly, to a guard frame that has a good appearance and can effectively prevent the occurrence of rust.

[Prior Art] A guard frame for guarding the driver's cab is usually provided at the front end of a vehicle loading platform. Conventionally, such a guard frame has been constructed by welding and assembling a U-shaped frame or an I-shaped frame as shown in Fig. 5. be.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the above-mentioned conventional guard frames have problems in that they have poor appearance and rust easily occurs on the end faces of each frame.

In view of these problems, the present invention aims to provide a guard frame for a vehicle loading platform that has a good appearance and is also effective in preventing rust.

[Means for solving the problems] The configuration of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 4.
The guard frame main body 1 has a gate shape with a U-shaped cross section opening inward, and mounting brackets 4 are provided on the inner walls of both ends 11 in the width direction of the guard frame main body 1 at appropriate positions in the longitudinal direction. The opening of the guard frame main body 1 is closed with an inner plate 2 having both side edges 21 fixed to the mounting bracket 4. A protector 3 is sandwiched between each side edge 21 of the inner plate 2 and the bracket 4, and the protector 3 is attached to the edge 1 of the guard frame main body 1.
1 and the above-mentioned inner plate 2
It has a lip portion 32 that extends over and covers the side edge of.

[Operations and Effects] The guard frame with the above structure has a gate shape with a closed section as a whole and has an excellent design, and rust on the end surfaces of the guard frame body and inner plate that make up the guard frame is prevented by the protector that covers these. effectively prevented.

[Embodiment] In FIG. 4, a guard frame is provided at the front end of the vehicle loading platform D, and the entire guard frame is gate-shaped, and both lower ends thereof are connected to the upper surface of the front end of the loading platform. The legs of the guard frame are connected by a sub-frame 5 made of a round bar. The guard frame main body 1 has a U-shaped cross section that opens inward, as shown in FIG.

That is, the guard frame main body 1 is provided with L-shaped brackets 4 on the inner walls of both ends 11 in the width direction, and the brackets 4 are provided at a plurality of locations in the longitudinal direction of the guard frame main body 1 (FIG. 3). and,
Both side edges 21 of the inner plate 2 are attached to these brackets 4.
is fixed with screws.

When the inner plate 2 is fixed, a protector 3 is sandwiched between its side edge 21 and the bracket 4. The protector 3 is a long extrusion molded product of rubber or resin, and is fixed together with the inner plate 2 through mounting holes provided in its flat body (FIG. 2). The protector 3 is formed with a trim part 31 having a U-shaped cross section and a lip part 32 extending from the top of the trim part 31. In the installed state, the trim part 31 covers the end part 11 of the guard frame main body 1, while the lip part 32 extends from the top of the trim part 31. Part 3
2 extends on the inner plate 2 and covers its side edge 21.

In this way, the guard frame has a closed section portal shape with good appearance, and the protector effectively prevents rust from forming on each end face of the guard frame main body and inner plate.

As shown in FIG. 3, the lower ends of the legs of the guard frame body 1 are rotatably connected in the vehicle width direction to the brackets D1 on the upper surface of the loading platform D by means of mounting bolts, thereby reducing the generation of vibration stress at the lower ends of the legs. Prevented.

In the above embodiment, the inner plate 2 is fixed with screws, but the inner plate 2 can also be made of resin and fixed using clips.
