Description

  The present invention relates to a floor lid of a luggage room of an automobile, and more particularly to a floor lid having a simple structure and easy opening / closing operation.

  Conventionally, a storage recess (tire storage space) having an upper opening for storing spare tires and tools is provided on the floor surface of the luggage room at the rear of the vehicle. A floor lid (luggage floor board) is provided to cover the storage recess and to make the floor surface of the luggage room flat. In recent years, there is a storage recess that can store other luggage without storing a spare tire.

When the storage recess is used as a luggage storage space, the frequency of opening and closing the floor lid increases. Therefore, the floor lid can be opened and closed with a simple operation, and luggage can be stored while maintaining the open state. -Convenience is required to facilitate removal. In response to such a requirement, there is a structure in which a floor lid is formed from a plurality of boards and can be folded (for example, Patent Document 1). According to this, the floor lid is folded, and the recessed portion is opened by being raised with respect to the floor surface. At this time, the lower end portion of the floor lid is locked by a locking portion formed on the side wall of the recess to maintain the open state.

The fourth board 12 is hinged to the front edge 9 a of the first board 9 by a third hinge 15 and is hinged to the side edge 10 b. As shown in FIG. 1, the state in which the second and third boards 10 and 11 of the floor lid 8 are substantially horizontal and covers the storage recess 51 is referred to as an unfolded state or a fully closed state of the floor lid 8. The surface of the floor lid 8 that faces the upper side (vehicle compartment side) of each board when in the unfolded state is defined as the upper surface.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the first to fourth boards 9, 10, 11, and 12 that constitute the floor lid 8 are formed of a resinous material. 10, 11, 12 and the first to third hinges 13, 14, 15 are integrally formed of the same kind of resinous material. In other embodiments, the floor lid 8 may be formed in combination after each member is formed as a separate body. The first to fourth boards 9, 10, 11, and 12 are formed to have substantially the same thickness. A skin (not shown) is attached to the entire surface of the floor lid 8 on the upper surface side of the floor lid 8. The skin is, for example, felt or non-woven fabric, and enhances the design of the floor lid 8 and functions as an anti-slip member.

  The first board 9 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape, and is arranged so that the longitudinal direction coincides with the vehicle width direction. The first board 9 is formed with first board protrusions 91 extending in the vehicle width direction from both ends of the front edge portion 9 a and forming a plane continuous with the first board 9.

  The 2nd and 3rd board 10 * 11 is formed in the substantially rectangular shape, and is arrange | positioned so that a longitudinal direction may correspond with a vehicle width direction. The length in the longitudinal direction is formed so as to coincide with the length of the rear edge portion 9 b of the first board 9. The length in the vehicle front-rear direction of the second board 10 in the unfolded state, that is, the length in the short direction of the second board is constant over the vehicle width direction. The third board 11 is formed so that the length in the vehicle front-rear direction in the unfolded state, that is, the length in the short direction is the longest in the vehicle width direction central portion. The length coincides with the length of the second board 10 in the short direction. In other embodiments, the length of the second board 10 in the short direction may be larger than the length of the third board 11 in the short direction.

  Since the second and third boards 10 and 11 are made of the same resin material, the weight of the second board 10 is heavier than the weight of the third board 11 due to the shape described above. In other embodiments, the weights of the second and third boards 10 and 11 may be the same. The tip 11b of the third board 11 is provided with a non-slip member 17. The anti-slip member 17 is, for example, felt or non-woven fabric, and is affixed to the tip 11b.

The fourth board 12 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape, and is arranged so that the long side is along the vehicle width direction. The length of the long side is formed so as to coincide with the length of the front edge portion 9 a of the first board 9. In the present embodiment, the fourth board 12 is divided into two in the vehicle width direction so as to coincide with the division position 6 a of the rear seat 6. The fourth board 12 may be a single board that extends in the vehicle width direction without being divided.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the first to third hinges 13 to 15 are integral hinges. The first hinge 13 has a first upper hinge wall 13a and a first lower hinge wall 13b, and the first hinge rotation center portion 13c is formed thinner than the thickness of each board. The angle between the first upper hinge walls 13 a and the angle between the first lower hinge walls 13 b define a foldable angle of the second board 10 with respect to the first board 9. In the present embodiment, the angle between the first upper hinge walls 13a is in the range of about 90 ° to 180 °, and is preferably set in the range of about 120 to 170 °. The angle between the first lower hinge walls 13b may be arbitrarily set.

  Similar to the first hinge 13, the second hinge 14 has a second upper hinge wall 14a and a second lower hinge wall 14b, and the second hinge rotation center portion 14c is thinner than the thickness of each board. Is formed. In the present embodiment, the angle between the second upper hinge walls 14a is in the range of about 90 ° to 180 °, and is preferably set in the range of about 140 ° to 170 °. The angle between the first lower hinge walls 13b may be arbitrarily set.

  Similar to the first hinge 13, the third hinge 15 has a third upper hinge wall 15a and a third lower hinge wall 15b, and the third hinge rotation center 15c is thinner than the thickness of each board. Is formed. In the present embodiment, the angle between the third upper hinge walls 15 a is set so that the fourth board can rotate according to the inclination angle of the rear seat 6. The angle between the third upper hinge walls 15a is, for example, 30 ° to 90 °. The angle between both the third lower hinge walls 15b may be set arbitrarily.

  As shown in FIG. 1, in the floor lid 8, first to third boards 9, 10, and 11 are fitted between step portions 55 formed on the rear floor panel 5. At this time, the front edge 12a of the fourth board 12 is inclined forward and upward by contacting the rear seat. The lateral edges of the first to third boards 9, 10, 11 in the vehicle width direction are in contact with the step portion 55, thereby restricting the movement of the floor lid 8 in the vehicle width direction in the horizontal direction. When the first board protrusion 91 of the first board 9 is in contact with the step portion 55, the movement of the floor lid 8 rearward in the horizontal direction is restricted. When the fourth board abuts on the rear seat 6, the rearward movement of the floor lid 8 is restricted. In this way, the floor lid 8 is fixed to the rear floor panel 5. In particular, it can be said that the first board 9 is fixed to the rear floor panel 5 because the position does not change in the expanded state and the folded state of the floor lid 8. In another embodiment, the first board 9 may be mechanically fixed to the rear floor 5 with a clip or the like.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the second hinge 14 is bent from the deployed state (fully closed state) of the floor lid 8, the third board 11 is rotated with respect to the second board 10, and the upper side of the second board 10. By positioning, the floor lid 8 is partially folded (half-opened), and the storage recess 51 and the storage box 52 are partially exposed (opened). At this time, the rotation of the third board 11 is restricted by the second hinge, and a space is formed between the second board 10 and the third board 11. The angle formed by the upper surfaces of the second board 10 and the third board 11 is in the range of about 10 to 40 °.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when the floor lid 8 is in the half-open state, the first hinge 13 is bent, the second board 10 is rotated with respect to the first board 9, and the floor lid 8 is positioned above the first board 9. The lid 8 is in a folded state (fully opened state), and most of the storage recess 51 is opened. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, the tip 11b of the third board 11 abuts on the upper surface of the first board 9, and the second and third boards stand upright in a reverse V shape with respect to the first board. The contact position of the tip 11b of the third board 11 with the first board 9 is fixed by the frictional force generated between the anti-slip member 17 attached to the tip 11b and the upper skin of the first board 9. ing. Further, the abutting position of the tip 11 b of the third board 11 may be regulated by being locked to the third upper hinge wall 15 a of the third hinge 15. Further, the contact position of the tip 11b of the third board 11 may be regulated by the inclined fourth board 12.

  By configuring as described above, it is possible to obtain a floor lid 8 that is composed of a board and a hinge that are integrally formed and has a simple structure and good handleability. Since the floor lid 8 has a reverse V-shape that can stand independently in the folded state (open state), the rear floor panel 5 does not need to be provided with a locking portion for supporting the floor lid 8 in the open state, and the structure is simple. It is. Further, the floor lid 8 can be opened and closed simply by turning up the third board 11 and the second board 10, that is, by folding, and the operation is easy.

  Further, by folding only the third board 11, a half-open state in which about half of the storage recess 51 is exposed can be achieved. At this time, since the tip 11b of the third board 11 is away from the second board 10, it is easy to grasp by hand and the third board 11 can be easily closed.

  By making the lengths in the short direction of the second board 10 and the third board 11 equal, the inverted V shape in the folded state of the floor lid 8 is an isosceles triangle with the base of a part or all of the first board. And the reverse V-shape is stable. Moreover, by making the short direction length of the 2nd board 10 longer than the short direction length of the 3rd board 11, the vertex position of reverse V shape changes to the front side, and the 2nd board 10 is a folding state It becomes difficult to naturally shift from the closed state to the closed state, and the reverse V-shape is further stabilized.

  Further, by making the weight of the second board heavier than the weight of the third board, the reverse V-shape in the folded state of the floor lid 8 is applied with a force toward the front side, and the second board 10 is closed from the folded state. It becomes difficult to shift naturally to the state, and the reverse V-shape is stabilized.

  By providing a non-slip member on the top end 11 b of the third board 11 and the top surface of the first board 9, the top end 11 b of the third board 11 is fixed to the top surface of the first board 9, so that the floor lid 8 is folded. The reverse V shape in the state is stable.

  In addition, the abutting position of the tip 11b of the third board 11 on the first board is fixed by the third hinge 15, so that the reverse V-shape in the folded state of the floor lid 8 is stabilized. At this time, since the fourth board 12 is in contact with the rear seat 6 and is inclined with respect to the first board 9, a bent portion is formed on the third hinge 15, and the tip 11b of the third board 11 is The bent portion is more stably fixed, and the reverse V-shape is stabilized.

  Although the description of the specific embodiment is finished as described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and can be widely modified. For example, other hinges that can limit the bending angle other than the integral hinge may be used for the hinge portion. Further, the anti-slip member may not only attach a separate member, but also process the board surface to form an integral anti-slip portion. Moreover, the shape of each board is illustrative and can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
