BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described as a state of being incorporated in a truck bed wall.

First, in FIG. 5, two aorient panels (1) made of aluminum hollow extruded sections are arranged in series in front and back on the left and right edges of the bed (2) of the truck vehicle (10). The pillars (7) made of aluminum extruded profile for supporting the tilting panels (7) are arranged between the tilting panels (1) (1) adjacent to each other in the front and back.

The central pillar (7) for supporting the tilting panel is
Since the left and right edges of the luggage carrier (2) are made symmetrically and have almost the same structure,
Only the middle pillar (7) at the left edge of (2) will be explained.

Each tilt panel (1) is a side wall of the bed (2)
(4), more specifically, approximately 180 through the hinge (26) on the side wall (4) of the carrier frame member (3) made of extruded aluminum.
° It is mounted so that it can swing.

Here, the tilt panel (1) may be formed by connecting a plurality of aluminum hollow extruded profile panels or may be formed by only one aluminum hollow extruded profile panel. is there.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a tilting panel supporting center pillar (7) according to the present invention is fixed to a center pillar body (7A) and a lower outer surface of the center pillar body (7A). Pillar mounting member (9)
And a pedestal (8) attached to the center column main body (7A) so as to project downward from the lower end of the center column main body (7A) via the pedestal mounting member (9), The pedestal mounting member (9) has a fitting recess (1
4) is formed, and the connecting pin fitting groove (17) (1) is formed in both the front and rear side walls of the pedestal (8) and the inner wall of the fitting recess (14) facing them.
8) are provided facing each other, and the upper part of the pedestal (8) is fitted into the fitting recess (14) of the pedestal mounting member (9).
The connecting pin (15) is press-fitted into the through hole (16) formed by the connecting pin fitting grooves (17) and (18).

The center pillar main body (7A) has a plate-shaped central wall (7a) and front and rear walls (7b) and rear walls (7c) projecting outward at the front and rear side edges of the central wall (7a). It is formed in a U shape.

At the side edges of the front and rear both tilt panels (1) and (1) on the side of the central pillar (7), side frame members (5) ( 5) are attached respectively, and overhanging wall portions (6) (6) of horizontal cross section extending to the side of the center pillar (7) are provided at the outer edges of these side frame members (5) (5). A seal (21) is installed in the wall.

In the standing state of each tilting panel (1), these overhanging wall portions (6) (6) are attached to the front wall (7b) and the rear wall (7c) of the center pillar body (7A). Sealed between both members because they face each other
It is closed by (21).

The pedestal mounting member (9) is attached to the front and rear side walls (9a) (9
b) and an intermediate wall (9c), and the intermediate wall (9c) and both side walls (9a) (9
A fitting recess (14) is formed by the substantially outer half of b). The stanchion mounting member (9) is in a state in which the inner bent ends (9c) of both side walls (9a) and (9b) are fixed to the center pillar body (7A) by screws (23). Projections (11) projecting inwardly into the fitting recesses (14) are formed on the outer ends of the side walls (9a) (9b), and the projections (11) are provided on both side surfaces of the pedestal (8). Ditch (1
It is fitted to 2). By fitting the projection (11) and the groove (12), the pedestal is inserted into the fitting recess (14) of the pedestal mounting member (9).
(8) can be installed easily. That is, the protrusion (11) is replaced by the groove (1
2) While fitting it into the pedestal mounting member (9),
By fitting the pedestal (8) into 4), the connecting pin fitting grooves (17) and (18) face each other, and the connecting pin (15) is press-fitted into the formed through hole (16). A member for mounting a pedestal
The pedestal (8) can be attached to (9).

A lid (not shown) is attached to the upper parts of the pedestal (8) and the pedestal mounting member (9).
(13) is a screw hole for attaching the lid.

The connecting pins (15) (15) are press-fitted into the through holes (16) (16), but since the connecting pins (15) (15) may be short, the press-fitting work is simple. .

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the block mounting cover member (30) includes a main wall (31) facing the outer surface of the cargo bed side wall portion (4), and both side wall portions (32) (32). ), And the wing-shaped reinforcement walls on both sides
It is composed of (33) and (33). On the other hand, the frame member of the loading platform (2)
(3) The horizontal wall portion (22a) of the inverted L-shaped bracket (22) is fixed to the lower wall portion (4a) of the L-shaped bracket (22) by the hexagon headed bolt (25) and nut (24). ), The cover member (30) is applied to the side wall part (4) of the load carrier frame member (3), and the front and rear wing-shaped reinforcing wall parts (33) (33) of the cover member (30) are attached to the load carrier side wall part.
It is fixed to (4) with hexagon head bolts (25) and nuts (24). Inside the cover member (30), the main wall (3
1) and the front and rear side wall parts (32) and (32), the outer surface of the cargo bed side wall part (4), and the hanging wall part (22) of the inverted L-shaped bracket (22).
b) A hollow part (34) surrounded by and is formed. This hollow part
By inserting the lower half of the pedestal (8) into the (34) from above, the middle column (7) for supporting the tilting panel is fixed to the side edge of the loading platform (3) in a rising shape. Is.

According to the present embodiment, the pedestal (8) can be attached to the lower end portion of the center column main body (7A) without the need for the conventional high welding skill, and therefore can be manufactured by an amateur.
It is very easy to attach the middle pillar (7) to the side wall (4) of the bed.

Further, by using the pedestal mounting member (9),
The pedestal (8) itself can be thin. Further, since the constituent members such as the main body of the center pillar (7A) and the member for mounting the pedestal (9) are made of extruded aluminum, the weight can be reduced and the surface treatment such as alumite treatment can be performed as these constituent members. Since parts can be used, the appearance is excellent and the appearance is improved.

The connecting pin (15) made of stainless steel is
Normally, it is desirable to press-fit the through-hole (16) over its entire length, but in some cases, the connecting pin (15) may be partially press-fitted. Also shown are the connecting pin (15) and through hole
Although the cross-sectional shape of (16) is circular, these may be other shapes such as a square.

The embodiment of the case where the bed wall column of the present invention is applied to a truck has been described above. However, the present invention is directed to the tilting mount mounted on the bed so as to be located below the wing panel of the wing vehicle. It can also be applied to the pillars of panels. Further, the pillar can be used as a rear pillar of the loading platform in addition to the middle pillar.

[0025]

According to the present invention, the upper part of the pedestal is fitted into the fitting recess of the stud mounting member fixed to the pillar main body, and the side walls of the stud and the fitting recess facing them are formed. The pedestal can be attached to the column body only by press-fitting the coupling pin into the through hole formed by the coupling pin fitting groove provided so as to face the inner wall. Therefore, unlike the conventional method, the pedestal can be attached without using welding, high welding skill is not required, and even an amateur can manufacture it, and the manufacturing cost is very low.

Further, by using the pedestal mounting member, it is possible to use a thin pedestal itself, and the column main body and the pedestal mounting member are usually made of extruded aluminum. , Can be made lighter. Furthermore,
As these constituent members, for example, surface-treated parts by alumite treatment or the like can be used, the appearance is excellent and the aesthetic appearance is improved.
