These are popular among automobile users due to their aesthetic appearance and advanced functionality. These are used as accessories for transporting luggage attached to automobiles, and make the ride comfortable for the vehicle interior and passengers. A conventional cargo bed has a series of lower frame hardware and plastic slats for reinforcing the vehicle roof or deck lid, and has an E-section cargo support for supporting cargo or luggage at a location isolated from the vehicle body; Furthermore, a channel to the L-marked slide 1 is fixed by an attached fastening means or various fastening mechanisms.
ls) with means for attaching accessories. An end cap is attached to the end of the slat, and the end cap has a fastening mechanism and/or a support mechanism. The grooves of the hardware or plastic slats are also provided with inserts in which elastic members are arranged, by means of which cargo or luggage can be placed on the slats fixed to the vehicle. It becomes possible.

C1 Object of the Invention The present invention improves the slat type loading platform, and provides a spoiler (sppil) equipped with a fastening mechanism and a telescoping fastening mechanism.
er). The slats and spoilers are usually constructed from metal or plastic materials. This structure has been improved not only in terms of durability and weight reduction, but also in terms of the aesthetic appearance of the cargo platform. This is because plastic can be molded into a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and even in a wide variety of colors. Said spoiler with a telescoping fastening mechanism serves as a fixing element for the carrier and as a spoiler when no cargo is on the carrier.

d. Examples Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description of the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings below, the loading platform is illustrated and designated as 10. The loading platform 10 is provided on a rear deck lid 12 of an automobile 14. The loading platform 10 has a slant I6 of a series I provided at 42 of the vehicle's front end 12 and wind protection means shown as a spoiler 18.

The slat element N6 is mainly composed of metal material and has grooves 20, which are connected to upwardly rising side walls 22, 24, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. and an opposing attached flange 21.23.The slats 1 to 16 have a fastening part 25 having an insertion part.This fastening part 25 is provided at one end of the slat 16, and the distal end 26 The fastening part 25 has an upper part 28 set in such a way that it matches the design of the upper part of the insert member 27 in the groove 20 of the slot 6.
The upper surface 30 of 5 is flush with the support surface 30 of the F insertion member 27. The fastening section 25 further includes a lower element 32, an inclined end element 3 extending vertically and having a pair of wall elements 35.
4 and an end closure element 36 extending vertically and for closing the ends of the channel 20. Good element 28,3 above
2.34.35 and 36 constitute a hole 38, and a rope or a hook cord (
A hooked bungee cord is inserted through this hole 38. The end closure element 36 has a transversely fixed extending piece 40 having an insertion hole 42 for coupling with a fastening means (either integrated with the end closure element 36 or
It is formed by integrally molded female fastening means (not shown). ).

The other end of the slat 16 is provided with a distal end 26,
The upper surface of this distal end 26 has a matching appearance with the insert member 27, with an upper support surface or surface 46 matching the upper support surface 29 of the insert member 27. The distal end 26 also has a vertically rising end wall 52. Similarly, in the slat 16 there is a fixed extension piece 5 in the lateral direction having an insertion hole 56.
4 (integrated with the distal end 26 or
It is fixed by a nut-like thing that is integrally molded. ), thereby allowing the slot 6 to be fixed to the motor vehicle by suitable fastening means. Additionally, a pad 57 may be provided between the slats 16 and the deck lid 12 as shown. This can prevent damage to the coating on the deck lid 12. The distal end 26 is in contact with the spoiler 18 or in contact with the spoiler 18.
18 protrudes into five openings.

The spoiler 18 is arranged on the deck lid [2] and is substantially perpendicular to the slot 6. Spoiler-18
generally has an opening 59 adjacent distal end 26 .
A wall 60 is provided. The first wall 60 stands substantially perpendicular to the deck lid 12 .

A concave arcuate wall 62 having a surface 63 is continuous with the wall 60 and projects upwardly. A second wall 64 continuously projects downward from the apex of the arcuate wall 62. Second
The walls 64 generally coincide with the ends of the deck lint 12. Spoiler 18 also has ends 66 and 68, thereby closing spoiler 18.

- For this purpose, the spoiler 18 is integrally molded from synthetic resin.

The arcuate wall 62 of the spoiler 18 has an open lower part 0,
Here, a retractable or extractable fastening mechanism is coupled to the spoiler 18. The open lower 0 is generally located adjacent to and opposite the slant 16. The fastening mechanism 72 connects the spoiler 1 to the spoiler 1 when the lower opening 0 is opened.
8 and rotates from the first position to the second position. In the first position, the fastening mechanism 72 is disabled and the surface of the fastening mechanism 72 is substantially flush with the arcuate surface 63 of the spoiler 18. In this position, spoiler 18 assumes a continuous appearance as shown in FIG.

In the second position of use, the fastening mechanism 72 is substantially perpendicular to the arcuate surface 63 to allow the passage of something such as a rope or hook cord.

This allows the load to be secured to the slats 16 (as shown in phantom lines in FIG. 2).

The fastening means 72 has a concave arcuate surface 82 as shown in FIG.
The extension part 80 has an extension part 80. The extension 80 has a tail 84 at one end and a curved termination 86 at the other end.

Apertures 88 and 90 are formed in extension 80. The concave arcuate surface))2 is substantially the same curved surface as the arcuate surface 63 of the spoiler. In this way, the arcuate surface 8 of the fastening mechanism
2 makes the fastening mechanism 72 substantially flush with the arcuate surface 63 of the spoiler when the fastening mechanism 72 is in the first unused position. Tail portion 84 allows for easy manual movement of body 80 from the first position to the second position. An opening 88 is provided in the end 86 of the body 80.

The fastening mechanism 72 can be secured to the spoiler 18 by passing the pin 92 through the opening 188 and into the main body 80. Opening 9 formed adjacent to tail 84
0 can pass something such as a rope or a hook cord, thereby allowing luggage or the like to be fixed on the slant 16.

In FIG. 6, the pin holding portion 96 is shown. The pin holding parts 96 are provided on both sides of the open lower lower part 0. Each holding portion 96 has a pair of wall portions 98, 1 (10 and this wall portion 9B).
, +(slot 102 with an arcuate surface between 10
Equipped with. A wall portion 98.1 (10) is integrally provided on the lower surface side of the spoiler 18. The pin 92 passes through the opening 88 of the fastening mechanism, and both ends thereof protrude from the main body 80.

The pin 92 is located in the slot 102 between the walls 98.1 (10) on both sides of the open lower door 0.
A wall 98.1 (located below and fixed to the wall 98.1 10 for fixing the pin 92 to the arcuate surface 1
04, allowing the fastening mechanism 72 to be moved from the first position to the second position. Furthermore, U.S. Patent No. 4.
Retractable fastening mechanisms, such as those shown in US Patent No. 460.116, can also be used with the present invention.

Although the preferred embodiments of the invention disclosed above satisfy the above objects, the invention may be modified, changed and changed without departing from the legitimate scope and fair meaning of the subclaims. Can be done.
