Specifically, this invention provides excellent strength and durability, prevents the package tray from becoming twisted when opening and closing the package tray, and provides a good appearance. Relating to something configured to be used.

[Conventional technology]

In automobiles etc. that have removable package trays, hinge pins are provided at both left and right ends of the package tray, so that the hinge pins are removable and rotatable on the package tray side trims located on both left and right sides of the vehicle body. A retaining pin receiver is usually provided. Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 4a, for example, the pin receiver C is formed of synthetic resin separately from the package tray side trim T, and the fitting hole H formed in the package tray side trim T has a hole H formed in the package tray side trim T. For example, as shown in FIG. 4b, it may be screwed to the package tray side trim T.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In such a conventional package tray mounting structure, since the pin holder C is made of synthetic resin, the user may feel uneasy about the strength and durability. Further, when the package tray is not attached, the pin receiver C exists as a protrusion on the package tray side trim T, which is disadvantageous from the viewpoint of improving the external appearance. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 5, the package tray P usually has a portion of both edges cut out to avoid interference with the pin holder C, so when the package tray P is attached, However, this notch detracts from its appearance. Moreover, the mounting accuracy of the pin holder C to the package tray side trim T is low, and when the package tray P is opened and closed, the package tray P may be twisted and rub against the package tray side trim T, and the smoothness of opening and closing operations may be impaired. There are things to do. This idea was devised under the above circumstances, and has excellent strength and durability.
The package tray can be opened and closed smoothly, and
The objective is to provide a new package tray mounting structure that provides a good appearance.

[Means to solve the problem]

In this invention, in order to solve the above problem,
The following technical measures have been taken: That is, the present invention provides hinge pins at both left and right ends of a package tray, and a pin receiver that removably and rotatably holds the hinge pins on package tray side trims arranged on both left and right sides of the vehicle body. In the package tray mounting structure, the package tray side trim is opened to its inner surface and upper surface, and the opening width of the upper surface is set to a width approximately corresponding to the diameter of the hinge pin, and an internal space is provided. The width is larger than the diameter of the hinge pin mentioned above, and the bottom wall has a mounting hole with a concave groove, and when viewed from the side, it is almost in the shape of an inverted Ω, and the lower periphery is stepped down in the shape of a groove. The present invention is characterized in that a pin holder made of a steel plate having round legs is positioned and housed inside the mounting hole with the legs fitting into the grooves.

[Action and effect]

Since the pin holder is made of steel plate, it is much stronger than conventional pin holders made of synthetic resin.
Furthermore, wear due to friction with pins provided on the package tray is less likely to occur, and durability is also increased. Furthermore, since this pin holder is positioned and stored in the mounting hole formed in the package tray side trim, the pin holder can be mounted to the package tray side trim with extremely high precision.
To easily and accurately align left and right pin holders that receive left and right pins of a package tray. To position the above pin holder in the mounting hole, prepare a concave groove in the bottom wall of the above mounting hole, and
This is done by fitting the groove-shaped step-down legs to the lower peripheral edge of the shaped pin holder, so the pin holder is assembled while being positioned within the mounting hole as described above. Work is extremely easy. That is, without using any special fixing means, a high degree of mounting accuracy of the pin holder can be achieved by simply fitting the legs consisting of the groove-shaped step-down parts into the grooves provided in the mounting holes. It will be done. As a result, the package tray can be smoothly swung around the pin, and can be prevented from rubbing against the package tray side trim when the package tray is swung open and closed. In addition, the pin receiver is housed inside a mounting hole that is formed so that the opening width to the upper side of the package tray side trim only slightly corresponds to the width of the pin. When the package tray is removed, the pin holder is not exposed as a protrusion on the package tray side trim, so a good appearance is obtained, and
A situation in which the pin receiver as a protrusion causes injury to the occupant is also eliminated. Additionally, when the package tray is installed, a small opening with a width corresponding to the diameter of the hinge pin is only slightly opened on the top surface of the package tray side trim, and the rest of the top surface is connected to the top surface of the package tray. Since they are continuous in one plane, an even better appearance can be obtained. Furthermore, since the pin holder is made of a steel plate, it is cheaper in cost than conventional pin holders molded from resin.

[Explanation of Examples]

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of this invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. An example of a package tray mounting structure according to this invention is shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. Package tray side trim 1 is installed on both left and right sides of the rear part of vehicle body B.
A mounting hole 2 is formed in the upper front end of the package tray side trim 1 and is open to the upper side of the trim and to the inside of the vehicle. As shown in FIG. 2, this mounting hole 2 is formed into a substantially cross shape when viewed from the side. A pin holder 3 formed by bending a steel plate is inserted into this mounting hole 2. This pin receiver 3 is formed into a substantially inverted Ω shape with a lower peripheral edge stepped down in a groove shape. This pin holder 3 has both upper ends 4 attached to the ceiling surface 6 of the deformation allowing portion 5 which is enlarged before and after the mounting hole 2, and its lower end surface 7 attached to the bottom surface 9 of the lower groove 8 of the mounting hole 2. By being received, it is positioned in the vertical direction with respect to the mounting hole 2 and therefore with respect to the package tray side trim 1. In addition, this pin receiver 3 has both front and rear outer surfaces 11 of the groove-shaped leg portion 10 attached to the front and rear outer surfaces 11 of the concave groove 8 of the mounting hole 2.
2, the mounting holes 2 and, therefore, the package tray side trim 1 are positioned in the front-rear direction. The upper surface 14a of the peripheral part 13 of the mounting hole 2 is formed flush with the upper surface 14b of the package tray side trim 1, and behind the peripheral part 13 is a package tray receiving surface that receives the left and right side edges of the package tray 15. 16 is formed in a step-like manner up to the rear end of the package tray side trim 1.
A notch 17 corresponding to the peripheral part 13 of the mounting hole 2 is formed at the front end of each left and right side edge of the package tray 15, and a steel hinge pin 18 is installed in the notch 17 on both the left and right sides. It is projected outward. The front-to-back width of the head 19 of the mounting hole 2 is slightly larger than the diameter of the hinge pin 18, and the width corresponds approximately to the diameter of the hinge pin 18. The diameter of the pin receiver 3 is larger than the diameter of the hinge pin 18 so that both ends of the pin receiver 3 can be freely expanded when inserted into the tool 3 from above or pulled out from above. Next, the operation of the package tray mounting structure of this example will be explained. The package tray 15 is installed between the left and right package tray side trims 1 by inserting the hinge pins 18 provided on the left and right sides into the corresponding mounting holes 2 from above and fitting them into the pin receivers 3. Ru. Conversely, the package tray 15 is removed by pulling out the hinge pins 18 upward from the corresponding pin receivers 3 and the mounting holes 2, respectively. Since the pin holder 3 is made of a steel plate, it has much higher strength than conventional pin holders made of synthetic resin. In addition, since the pin holder 3 is made of a steel plate, the steel hinge pin 1 provided on the package tray 15
8 is less likely to cause wear due to friction than with the conventional pin receiver C made of synthetic resin, and has high durability. Further, since the pin holder 3 is positioned and housed in the mounting hole 2 formed in the package tray side trim 1, the pin holder 3 can be attached to the package tray side trim 1 with extremely high precision. Moreover, such a high degree of mounting accuracy can be achieved by a simple operation of simply fitting the legs provided on the pin holder into the grooves formed at the bottom of the mounting hole. Therefore, the left and right pin holders 3 of the package tray 1 can be easily and accurately aligned, and as a result, the package tray 15 can be smoothly swung around the pin 18, and the package tray 15 can be easily and accurately aligned. This can prevent this from rubbing against the package tray side trim 1 when it is swung to open and close. In addition, the pin holder 3 is housed in the mounting hole 2, and when the package tray 15 is removed, the pin holder 3 is not exposed as a protrusion on the package tray side trim 1, resulting in an attractive appearance. can get. In addition, in this embodiment, when the package tray 15 is mounted, the notch 17 provided on the side edge of the package tray 15 is filled with the mounting hole surrounding portion 13 of the package tray side trim 1, and the package tray side Top surface 14 of trim 1
