Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a hood storage device for a cargo vehicle such as a truck that is easy to handle and can also be used as a rain gutter during rainy weather.

Conventionally, in a cargo vehicle such as a truck, when it rains, the cargo on the loading platform 70 is covered with a hood 71 to protect it from the rain, as shown in FIG.
In fine weather, the hood 71 is generally folded and stored on the cargo platform 70 or the roof 73 of the cabin 72. Further, in the above vehicle, rain gutters 74 and 75 are conventionally provided near the roof of the cabin 72, and the rainwater falling on the cabin 72 is drained from the rain gutters 7.
4 and 75 to prevent rainwater from entering the cargo on the loading platform 70. Furthermore, regarding the rain gutter 74, normally when the canopy 71 is intended to cover the cargo on the loading platform, the end of the canopy 70 on the cabin 72 side is connected to the rain gutter 74, and this positional relationship allows rainwater to flow to the loading platform. We tried to prevent intrusion as much as possible.

However, the conventional method of using the canopy as described above is undesirable because it obstructs the view of the rear window of the cabin 72.

Therefore, it is desired to improve the method of storing and using the canopy, taking into consideration the relationship between the canopy 71 and the rain gutter 74 as described above.

In view of the above-mentioned problem, the present inventor created the present invention in order to effectively solve the problem.

The purpose of this invention is to mount a canopy under the rear window of the cabin of a cargo vehicle such as a truck, thereby simplifying the method of storing and handling the canopy, and ensuring the visibility of the rear window of the cabin.

It is curved and bulges upward to become higher. This is to enhance the drainage effect when acting as a rain gutter.

In the above, the canopy is folded and stored in the long groove-shaped storage space S formed by the storage device 7, and in this state, the top is folded and stored on the rear wall 2a of the cabin 2 and above the storage device 7. Canopy fixing devices 10 attached at appropriate intervals at locations...
The stowed hood is fixed in place. The width and depth of the storage space S are determined as appropriate depending on the size of the hood. Next, the storage state of the canopy when not in use and the state when in use will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

In FIG. 4, 2a is the back wall of the cabin, and 7 is a storage device attached to the outside of the back wall 2a. The canopy 11 is folded many times and stored in the storage space of the storage device 7. In the figure, the lower end of the hood 11 is fixed to a mounting shaft 12 provided at the bottom of the storage space S, and is held down from above by a fixture 10 in the folded state. A plurality of fixing devices 10 are provided along the upper side of the groove-shaped storage device 7, and have the function of reliably maintaining the storage state of the canopy 11.

As is clear from FIG. 4, the fixture 10 has a base 1 fixed to the rear wall 2a and provided with a mounting shaft 10a-1.
