"Prior Art and its Problems" Conventionally, in an automobile packing box, the upper end of a hinged door is pivoted to the upper edge of the rear opening so that it can move up and down, and when the hinged door is flipped upward, If the door opens, it can be used as an eaves to protect from rain, snow, or the sun. Even if it is good, it is not suitable for large shipping boxes; usually, large shipping boxes have double doors that open to the left or right, or single doors that open to either the left or right, and in this case, the door is used as an eaves. I can't.

The purpose of the present invention is to create a cargo box with a double door that opens to the left or right or a single door that opens to either the left or right, which is suitable for use as a dedicated eaves, and which has a simple structure and can be easily expanded and expanded. It is an object of the present invention to provide an eave device that can be stored.

"Means for Solving the Problem" The eaves device of the present invention has an eaves plate mounting material 6 fixed to the rear end of the upper surface of the roof 5 of the cargo box 1 in parallel with the rear edge, and the eaves plate is attached By pivotally attaching the rear end edge of the eaves plate 7 to the material 6 with a hinge 8, the eaves plate 7
The storage state is such that it is laid down on the front side and the entire surface overlaps with the top surface of the roof 5, and it is laid down on the rear side and only the pivoted rear end is overlapped on the top surface of the roof 5, and most of the rest is on the top surface of the roof 5. It can be freely reversed into a deployed state in which it protrudes rearward from the rear end edge. In addition, a long operating rod 12 for performing the reversing operation is rotatably installed on the right and left side edges of the eaves plate 7 so as to be located outside of the left and right sides of the cargo box 1. A hook 14 is provided at the lower end.
On the other hand, at the lower end of the rear opening of the cargo box 1, there is a tightening ring 24 that can be used to apply the spring force of a coil spring 25 by means of a lever 20 to a retaining ring 24 that can be removably engaged with the hook 14. A metal fitting 17 is rotatably mounted.

``Function'' When the eaves plate is laid down to the front, it is stored in a stacked state on the top surface of the roof of the cargo box, and when it is reversed and laid down to the rear, it is placed behind the upper edge of the rear opening of the cargo box. It is expanded in a protruding state. This kind of storage
The unfolded state is maintained by removably locking the operating lever to a fastening fitting provided on the cargo box or the vehicle body, and the inversion can be performed manually on the ground using the operating lever.

"Embodiments" Examples of the present invention will be described below in detail based on the drawings.

In FIG. 1, the cargo box 1 is the vehicle body 3 of the truck 2.
is placed on top. This packing box 1 has an open rear surface as shown in FIG. 2, and the opening is opened and closed by double-opening left and right swinging doors 4. On the rear end of the upper surface (outer surface) of the roof 5 of the cargo box 1, an eaves plate mounting material 6 made of, for example, a hat-shaped steel is fixed, and a rectangular shape made of metal such as stainless steel or aluminum is fixed to the eaves plate mounting material 6. The rear end edge of the eaves plate 7 is rotatably pivoted by a plurality of hinges 8.

When the eaves plate 7 is laid down to the front as shown by the chain line in FIG. 1 and in FIG. When it is laid down to the rear as shown in Figure 3, only the pivoting end overlaps with the upper surface of the roof 5, and most of the remaining part is deployed in a state that protrudes rearward from the rear edge of the roof 5. . As shown in FIG. 4, on the surface of the eaves plate 7 (the upper surface in the stored state), a reinforcing material 9 made of, for example, a hat-shaped steel is fixed to the pivoting end in parallel to the end edge (rear end edge). At the same time, two reinforcing members 10 also made of hat-shaped steel are fixed at right angles thereto, and an elastic pad 11 made of rubber or the like is fixed to one end of the upper surface of these two reinforcing members 10. There is. This elastic pad 11 is
When the eaves plate 7 is laid down on the rear side and unfolded, it comes into contact with the upper surface of the roof 5 and supports the eaves plate 7 with elasticity.

In order to flip the eaves plate 7 back and forth, the upper end of a long round bar-shaped operating rod 12 is rotatably connected to one left and right side edge of the eave plate 7 by a pin 13. At the lower end of this operating rod 12, as shown in FIG.
A letter-shaped hook 14 is provided to protrude straight, and a bolt 15 is provided to protrude approximately at right angles.

On the other hand, at the lower end of the outer surface of the vertical stile 16 of the rear opening of the packing box 1, a fastening fitting 17 is attached as a locking device, and a stopper fitting 18 is firmly fixed. The fastening fitting 17 is of a known type, and a lever 20 is rotatably pivoted to a pair of brackets 19 fixed to the vertical stile 16 by means of a pin 21.
A U-shaped rotating frame 22 is rotatably attached to the middle of this lever 20 by a pin 23, and the rotating frame 22
A shaft protrusion of a retaining ring 24 is rotatably inserted through the free end of the retaining ring 24, and a coil spring 25 is wound around the shaft protrusion. The stopper 18 is a U-shaped locking portion 18a that engages with the bolt 15 of the operating rod 12 on one side of an L-shaped plate. Furthermore, a rubber plate 26 is attached to the outer surface of the vertical stile 16 to prevent sliding contact between the vertical stile 16 and the operating rod 12.

When the eaves plate 7 is folded forward to the stored state as described above, the retaining ring 24 of the fastening fitting 17 is attached to the hook 14 of the operating rod 12, as shown by the solid line in FIG.
After engaging with the coil spring 2, the lever 20 is pushed down and the operating punch 12 and the fastening fitting 17 are
Connect with spring force 5 applied. As a result, the eave plate 7 is maintained in a state in which it is pressed against the upper surface of the roof 5, that is, the eave plate 7 is locked from the stored state in which it lies down to the front. In order to flip the eaves plate 7 backward from this state and deploy it, lift the lever 20 of the fastening fitting 17,
After removing the retaining ring 24 from the hook 14, remove the operating rod 1.
Holding the lower end of 2, push up the eave plate 7 as shown by the chain line in Figure 1 and push it backwards as shown by the solid line in the figure, then tighten the bolt 15 of the operating rod 12 as shown by the chain line in Figure 5. Engage with the locking portion 18a of the stopper 18. As a result, the eaves plate 7 is held in a prone position on the rear side, protruding almost horizontally from the rear end edge of the upper surface of the roof 5, and is protected against rain when loading and unloading cargo from the rear opening of the cargo box 1. It serves as an eaves for shelter, snow protection, and sun protection. In this case, if the hinged door 4 is held in an open state by the lock fitting 27 as shown in FIG. 2, the hinged door 4 can be extended from the left and right side walls of the cargo box 1 to prevent wind, rain, and snow.

Note that the fastening fittings 17 and the fastening fittings 18, which are locking devices, may be attached to the vehicle body 3.

``Effect of the invention'' As stated above, the eaves device of the present invention allows the eaves plate to overlap the top surface of the roof of the cargo box by folding it forward. By flipping it over and laying it down on the rear side, it can be unfolded so that it protrudes from the rear edge of the upper surface of the roof. In addition, the stowed/unfolded state can be maintained by tightening and locking the hook at the lower end of the operating rod with a tightening fitting pivotally attached to the lower end of the rear opening of the cargo box. It can be easily used as a dedicated eave device for the rear opening of a cargo box, and the structure is simple and can be provided at low cost. Furthermore, since the eaves plate overlaps the top surface of the roof of the cargo box in both the stowed state and the unfolded state,
No special mechanism is required to stabilize its storage and unfolded states. In addition, the operating rod is rotatably hung on one side edge of the eaves and is located on the side of the cargo box.
Since the fastening metal fitting is rotatably attached to the lower end of the rear opening of the cargo box, it is not only easy to reverse the eaves, but also easy to tighten and release the fastening using the fastening metal fitting.
