Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention is a guard frame in a truck in which the front end of a side gate in an upright state is supported and fixed to gate support pieces attached to the flanges at both ends of the back panel of a cabin. This relates to the mounting structure.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, the mounting structure of a guard frame in a truck such as a pickup vehicle is as shown in Figs. 5 to 7.
The one shown in the figure is common. That is, in FIG. 5, gate support pieces b are attached to the flanges a at both ends of the back panel of the cabin, and the front end _c1 of the side gate c is supported and fixed to the gate support pieces b, while the guard frame is attached to the flanges a at both ends. This figure shows a structure in which bolts are used to attach the guard frame to the drilled guard frame attachment holes d and d.

6 and 7 show a structure in which a guard frame mounting bracket g for mounting a guard frame f is connected to a gate support piece b by rivets h, h.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the conventional example shown in FIG. In the case where the hole b is provided in the track, a bolt is required to close the hole b for a truck that does not require the guard frame f, which increases manufacturing costs.

In addition, in the structure shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the gate support piece b and the guard frame mounting bracket g are formed separately and are connected by rivets h, which reduces the number of parts. We invite you to the 7th
As shown in the figure, there is a problem in that the effective width H of the cargo box is narrowed, and the effective space on the cargo platform is narrowed.

Incidentally, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-158574 discloses a structure in which a guard frame attachment part is arranged inside a side gate and a guard frame is fixed thereto, but in this case also, the effective width is No consideration is given to enlarging the dimension H.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a truck in which the front end of the side gate in an upright state is supported and fixed to the gate support pieces attached to the flanges at both ends of the back panel of the cabin. In the gate support piece, a gate support portion that supports the inner surface of the front end portion of the side gate and a guard frame attachment portion located outward from the gate support portion in the vehicle width direction are integrally provided, and the guard frame attachment portion is provided with a gate support portion that supports the inner surface of the front end of the side gate. The feature is that the lower end of the guard frame is fixed.

(Function) According to the present invention, the back panel of the cabin and the side gate in an upright state are supported and fixed by the gate support pieces attached to the flanges at both ends of the back panel of the cabin, and the side gate is provided integrally with the gate support pieces. Since the guard frame is fixed to the guard frame mounting part, it is not only possible to save the trouble of drilling holes for attaching the guard frame to the back panel during manufacturing, but also eliminates the need for throwaway bolts when the guard frame does not need to be installed. Become. Furthermore, the number of parts can be reduced by half compared to the conventional example shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.

In addition, the gate support piece is integrally provided with a guard frame attachment part located outward in the vehicle width direction from the gate support part that supports the inner surface of the front end of the side gate, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. This eliminates the need to connect the two with rivets as in the conventional example, and eliminates the connecting part between the guard frame and the gate support piece to reduce the effective width H (second
(see figure) can be enlarged, and the effective space of the loading platform can be widened.

Further, since the gate support piece is integrally provided with the guard frame attachment portion, its vertical dimension is increased, and the area of the gate support portion can be increased, so that the side gate can be stably supported and fixed.

(Example) The present invention will be specifically described below based on the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 4.

The first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 relates to a pick-up vehicle with gates opening on three sides.
Both end flanges 2 of the back panel 2 of the cabin 1
A front end 4a of an openable and closable side gate 4 is supported and fixed to a gate support piece 3 attached to a.

The flanges 2a at both ends of the back panel 2 are
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, it is bent toward the cargo box 11 side. Bolt insertion holes 8 are bored in both end flange portions 2a, and the base portion 3a of the gate support piece 3 is attached using bolts 9 and nuts 10. The gate support portion 12 integrally formed with the gate support piece 3 is located slightly inward in the vehicle width direction with respect to the base portion 3a so as to support the inner surface of the side gate front end portion 4a in an upright state. A hook portion 13 extends outward in the vehicle width direction from the lower portion of the gate support portion 12, while a guard frame attachment portion 14 extends outward in the vehicle width direction from the upper portion of the gate support portion 12. The guard frame mounting portion 14 is located above the side gate 4 and is formed such that its tip 14a is bent and parallel to the side gate 4. The lower end portion 6a of the guard frame 6 is attached to the guard frame attaching portion 14 using bolts 16 and nuts 17.

The hook portion 13 is connected to the side gate 4 in an upright state.
The hook portion 13 protrudes outward from the insertion hole 5 of the
The side gate 4 can be locked by engaging the locking tool 18 with the locking member 18.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, showing a structure for mounting a guard frame 6 on a truck equipped with a fixed side gate 4b.

The gate support piece 3b of the second embodiment has a gate attachment part 7 instead of the hook part 13 of the first embodiment, and the side gate 4b is fixed to this gate attachment part 7 using a bolt 21. are doing. The structure other than the hook portion 13 is the same as that of the first embodiment, so a description thereof will be omitted.

The present invention can be configured in various ways other than those shown in the above embodiments. For example, gate support pieces 3, 3
The shape of b, the means for attaching the gate support pieces 3, 3b to the back panel 2 and the side gates 4, 4b, and the means for fixing the guard frame 6 to the gate support pieces 3, 3b are not limited to those shown in the above embodiments.

(Effects of the invention) Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration and operation, it is possible to increase the effective width dimension of the packing box, and
It is possible to provide a structure for mounting a guard frame on a truck that can securely support and fix the side gate and is advantageous in terms of the number of parts and manufacturing cost.
