First, referring to FIG. 1, the arrangement position of the luggage rack will be described. The luggage rack 1 is provided on the side body above the side window 2. The luggage rack 1 is provided with a lid 3 that can be opened and closed between a closed position shown by a solid line and an open position shown by a chain line.

In FIG. 2, the lid 3 is openable and closable around a hinge 7 fixed to a reflector 6 of an illumination lamp 5 arranged at a position close to a vehicle compartment ceiling 4. In the illustrated embodiment, the lid 3 has a double-folded structure, which will be described later. The frame 8 a of the rack 8 is arranged on the rotation locus of the lower edge 3 a of the lid 3. The rack 8 is fixed along the side body to the body and the vehicle compartment ceiling 4. At the center of the rack 8 in the width direction, a window 8b made of a transparent member for visually observing a forgotten item is provided. The illumination lamp 5 indirectly illuminates the vehicle interior by transmitting light from between the upper end of the lid 3 and the ceiling 4.

The structure of the lid 3 will be described with reference to FIG.

The lid 3 includes a fixing portion 30 fixed to the fixing member 6 (the reflector or bracket) provided at a position close to the vehicle compartment ceiling 4 with the screw 10, an upper half portion 31, a lower half portion 32, and a fixing portion. The hinge 7 made of a thin wall portion connecting the upper half portion 32 with the upper half portion 32, and the decorative material 33, 34 fixed to the surface of each half portion on the passenger compartment side.
It consists of A hinge 31b formed of a thin portion is formed on the lower edge 31a of the upper half portion 31, and a hinge 32b formed of a thin portion is formed on the upper edge 32a of the lower half portion 32. The hinges 31b and 32b are adhered to each other as shown in FIG. The upper half portion 31 is integrally formed by blow molding with the fixed portion 6, the hinge 7, the upper half portion 31, and the hinge 31b. The lower half 32 is also integrally formed by blow molding with the hinge 32b and the lower half 32. The lid 3 has an upper half portion 31 and a lower half portion 32 that can be opened and closed with respect to the rack 8 about the hinge 7 and can be hinged.
The upper half and the lower half are folded in two around 31b and 32b. In other words, the hinges 31b and 32b fold the lid in two along the line extending in parallel with the rack 8.

On the lower side edge of the lower half part 32, a hand-holding part 3c is formed for hanging fingers when the lid 3 is opened. Decorative material 3
3,34 are bases 33a, 34a to which surface materials 33b, 34b are attached. As the surface materials 33b, 34b, the same material as the interior surface material of the vehicle interior ceiling 4 may be selected.

An open position holding means (not shown) for holding the lid at the open position shown by the chain line in FIG. 2 is provided at an appropriate position between the upper half 31 of the lid 3 and the rack 8. . As the open position holding means, an appropriate one of known oil dampers, air dampers, spring dampers, etc. is used.
It goes without saying that the open position holding means has an action force for holding the lid 3 in the open position as shown by the chain line in FIG. On the other hand, the lower edge 3a of the lower half portion 32 abuts on the frame 8a of the rack 8, and at this abutting portion, a closed position holding means composed of an iron piece and a magnet (not shown) is arranged. Note that, depending on the position of the mounting fulcrum of the damper with respect to the upper half portion 31, the open position holding means can hold the lid at the closed position as well. Two holding means can be used in common.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the lid 3 has an upper half 31 and a lower half 32.
The lid 3 is divided into and molded by blow molding, and these are integrated, but the entire lid 3 can be integrally formed by blow molding.

5 and 9, the fixed portion 30, the hinge 7, the upper half portion
The lower portion 51 and the lower half portion 52 are integrally molded. The upper half portion 51 and the lower half portion 52 are connected by a hinge 53 formed of a thin portion.
In the case of this embodiment, the decorative material 54 is provided only on the upper half portion 51, and the surface 52a of the lower half portion 52 is textured. When the lid is closed, a spacer 55 is provided on the outside of the hinge 53 as shown in FIG. 6 in order to prevent the lid from being bent in an inverted V shape at the hinge 53 portion.
Is installed.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 7 is an example in which a woven fabric 70 such as knit or moquette is used as a decorative material and is fixed by a molding 71 made of a soft vinyl chloride extruded material. The structure of the lid main body is shown in FIG. Since it is not so different from that shown in FIG. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the handle portion 3c is formed so as to wrap around to the surface side of the lower half portion 52, as shown in FIG. In addition,
In FIG. 8 and FIG. 1, the symbol S indicates a speaker, respectively. If the same decorative material as the interior material of the vehicle interior ceiling is used as the surface of the lid 3, a more luxurious vehicle interior will be obtained, but it goes without saying that both the upper and lower sides may be finished by embossing.

As shown by the solid line in FIG. 2, if the lid 3 is placed in the closed position with its lower edge abutting the rack, the lid 3 is placed in this position by the closed position holding means (not shown). Is held. When loading and unloading luggage, when the hand 3c (see FIG. 3 and FIG. 8) is put on the hand and the lid 3 is pushed up in the direction of the arrow,
The lid 3 is lifted around the hinge 7 as the center of rotation by the biasing force of the closed position holding means, as shown by the chain line. At this time, the upper half 31 (51) of the lid 3 is positioned along the ceiling, but the lower half 32 (52) of the lid 3 has hinges 31b,
It folds and hangs around 32b (53). The open position of the lid 3 is held by the open position holding means. After loading / unloading the luggage R, the lid 3 is closed by pulling down the hanging lower half portion in the open position indicated by the chain line. In this case, the lid relatively slowly moves toward the closed position by the acting force of the open position holding means.

In the illustrated embodiment, the lid is folded in two, so that the lid can be opened and closed without colliding with a lighting device such as a chandelier installed on the ceiling of the vehicle compartment. Further, since the space required for opening and closing the lid is small, it is not necessary to bend over to open and close the lid, and there is an advantage that luggage can be easily taken in and out.

(Effect of the Invention) As described above, according to the luggage rack of the present invention having the lid, the luggage placed on the rack can be concealed, so that the aesthetics of the interior of the vehicle is not impaired, and the lower half of the lid is opened. Folds downward and hangs around the hinge of the thin part, so
The space required for opening and closing the space can be reduced, and it is possible to avoid interference with lighting equipment and the like, and by providing a window in the rack, it is possible to avoid dust and small objects from falling.
