Is presented. The top panel 8 is connected to an opening provided in an upper wall portion of the roof panel 7 through a conventionally known weather strip 9 or the like so as to always shield the upper surface of the indoor space. The panel 8 is removed so that the opening can be used as an exit or the like.

Further, by forming a concave groove 10 along both side edges of the top panel 8 in the roof panel 7, rainwater or the like flowing down along the top panel 8 can be formed along the concave groove 10, for example, near the upper end of the front pillar. It is designed to guide the flow down to a predetermined position such as.

On the other hand, a rectifying plate 12 is provided which forms a slit-like gap 11 along the vehicle width direction from above the front portion of the front window 4 to the front surface near the lower end of the top panel 7. Then, both ends of the current plate 12 are bent rearward to be connected to the side wall of the roof panel 7.

Therefore, the air that has risen due to the collision with the front of the cab 1 rises smoothly due to the rectifying action of the gap 11 formed by the rectifying plate 12, and is diverted laterally and upwardly by the guiding action of the top panel 8. The aerodynamic characteristics and appearance of the cab-over type truck are improved because the rectifying plate 12 for rectifying the traveling wind is integrated with the roof panel 7 because the rectifying plate 12 for rectifying the traveling wind is integrated with the roof panel 7.

Further, a nap bed 15 is provided inside the cab 1 at the height of the overhead console 5 to bisect the interior space of the cab 1 up and down, and the trailing edge of the nap bed 15 is swung up and down on the back panel 14. Freely attached. Normally, the nap bed 15 is connected to the back panel 14 by engaging means (not shown) as shown by a solid line in FIG.
The upper space of the seat 3 is extended to the roof by being stood and rotated at the storage position along the position, and a large amount of light is taken in through the top panel 8 to enhance the open feeling of the indoor space.
In addition, the upper field of view through the top panel 8 can be viewed directly.

When the napping bed 15 is turned over by releasing the engagement by the engaging means as required, the leading edge of the napping bed 15 becomes an overhead as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. The rear space of the console 5 is superimposed and held from above, so that the interior space of the cab 1 is divided into upper and lower portions on a substantially horizontal surface. Therefore, during normal driving, nap bed 1
5 can be raised and rotated along the back panel 14 to obtain an open indoor space, but during a nap, the upper space partitioned by the nap bed 15 can be effectively used as a nap space.

At the end of the nap bed 15 on the assistant seat side, a notch 16 is provided as shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. The cab 1 forms a communication port 17 between the lower space and the upper space. In addition, a net 18 that covers the communication port 17 so as to be openable and closable is provided in the notch 16, and belts 20 are attached to both sides of the net 18 to reinforce the net 18.

When the nap bed 15 is used, the metal fitting 2 attached to the tip of the belt 20 as shown by the solid line in FIG.

The roof of the cab 1 is configured by being attached to the opening, so that a room space extending upward and having a sense of openness is configured. In addition, the aerodynamic characteristics of the cab-over type truck are improved by the rectifying action of the roof panel 7 and the top panel 8 that extend the interior space upward as described above.

Furthermore, since a straightening plate 12 is provided to form a slit-like gap 11 along the vehicle width direction from the upper front portion of the front window 4 to the front surface near the lower end of the top panel 7, the aerodynamic characteristics of the cab 1 are provided. Is more improved. Furthermore, since both ends of the current plate 12 are bent rearward and joined to and integrated with the side wall of the roof panel 7, the appearance of the cab-over type truck is improved.

By the way, in the state where the nap bed 15 is turned upright in the storage position, an indoor space with a feeling of opening to the roof can be obtained, so that it is possible to change clothes while standing on the seat 3. Moreover, the livability of the seat 3 becomes extremely high. On the other hand, when the nap bed 15 is turned down to the use position, the indoor space is vertically divided into two, leaving only the communication port 17.

The communication port 17 is connected to the network 1 if necessary.
8 can be covered. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the vehicle from falling off from the communication port 17 and to prevent the voice from flowing between the upper space and the lower space from being disturbed. Can do it.

Further, the communication port 17 is not completely closed,
It is simply covered with the net 18 so that it can be opened and closed.
For this reason, for example, even in a semi-wake state immediately after a nap, the position of the communication port 17 is not lost and the escape property in an emergency is increased.

In the above-described embodiment, an opening is provided in the upper wall of the roof panel 7 which is inclined rearward and upward toward the upper end of the front of the loading platform 2, and the hemispherical dome-shaped top panel 8 is attached to the opening to provide the cab. The height of the roof panel 7 and the top panel 8 are different from those of the embodiment, although the aerodynamic characteristics when the loading platform 2 higher than 1 is mounted and the openness of the upper space serving as a nap space are increased. The shape is not limited to the illustrated one, and any shape may be used as long as the shape is excellent in intensity characteristics, lighting properties, rectification function, and space expandability.

Further, in the embodiment, the top panel 8 is detachably attached to the opening provided on the upper wall portion of the roof panel 7 via the weather strip 9, so that the top panel 8 is removed in an emergency to form a vent. The top panel 8 may be fixed to the roof panel 7 when there is no need to construct the exit. Furthermore, in the embodiment, the concave grooves 10 are provided along both sides of the top panel 8 so that rainwater or the like is induced to flow down to a predetermined position. However, it is not always necessary to provide the concave grooves 10.
