Description

The The present invention relates to a vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1, ie with a between a seat and a rear-facing body door (eg tailgate) of the vehicle arranged loading space, which has a loading floor, with the body door open to the rear is extendable.

Such vehicles are, for example, from the DE 197 49 158 C2 , of the DE 198 03 210 C2 , of the DE 100 12 767 A1 and the DE 103 33 354 A1 known.

One another example of a generic vehicle is one with a so-called "linear slide loading system "equipped Vehicle of the type "BMW X5 ".

Besides There are a number of other vehicles on the market with one Such movable loading device are provided to the loading and Unload the loading space to simplify.

adversely is in the known vehicles, that in the rear extended Condition of the loading floor a gap between the seat and the front Edge of the loading floor arises and unwanted objects or Dirt can get into this gap. This in turn, for example Malfunctions with regard to the loading floor method used Mechanics result. Independently of it it is another disadvantage that by the loading of the Cargo space the back seat can be easily scratched.

It An object of the present invention is that described above To avoid disadvantages and the suitability for everyday use of a vehicle to improve the type mentioned.

These Task is solved with a vehicle according to claim 1. The dependent ones Claims relate advantageous developments of the invention.

The vehicle according to the invention is characterized by a roller blind whose frontal Ends on the one hand in the upper part of the back of the seat and on the other can be arranged in the front area of the loading floor. With an in arranged in this way roller blind can both the when extending the loading floor resulting gap and the back of the seat be covered, so that both an unwanted intrusion of objects or Dirt in this gap as well as a scratching of the back of the seat is avoided.

The Invention may be advantageous for a variety of vehicle types are used. A preferred Use of the roller blind device results, for example, for vehicles, its rear body door from abroad is formed upwardly pivotable tailgate (eg, in small cars, Combined vehicles, SUVs, Multifunction vehicles etc.). The term "rear-side body door" should, however, in the context the invention also differently for releasing the loading space displaceable Designate body parts, such as a swivel or Sliding door assembly, as they are z. B. is often provided in small trucks.

In a preferred embodiment is provided that the roller blind device spring-loaded in the feed direction is. Roller blind devices of this type are known per se in great variety and usually have a flexible material web (eg plastic film, textile fabric or a net), which at a front end with a Winding shaft is connected, which is rotatably mounted and on which the roller blind can be wound up. The for retracting the roller blind device provided spring preload can in this case known per se Way be provided by a spring motor operating in the area the winding shaft, in particular in the interior of a trained as a hollow body Wave is arranged. Conveniently, is designed in such a spring motor so that the roller blind with it Completely can be wound up and against the spring load of the winding shaft again can be deducted. It is advantageous if the winding shaft including spring motor in a roller blind housing or a roller blind cassette are summarized.

Especially from the point of view of flexibility of vehicle use is in an embodiment provided that the one blind end (eg the free end of the Roller blind) and / or the other roller blind end (eg a winding shaft mechanism) solvable at the back of the seat or is arranged on the loading floor. A winding shaft having For example, a unit such as a roller blind may be releasably attached the corresponding location of the vehicle interior to be locked, for example, at a designated, vehicle-fixed storage facility. For the free front end of the roller blind lends itself to this with a transversely extending Stiffening part (eg Zugspriegel) to provide, the lateral Ends for releasable Coupling suitable at the corresponding point of the vehicle interior are formed. In the simplest case z. B. the lateral ends of the stiffening part manually in corresponding retaining recesses used and positive be held there.

In an embodiment The invention provides that both Rollostirnenden from their brackets solved can be so that the whole roller blind removed from the vehicle can be.

Prefers the winding shaft mechanism is arranged on the loading floor, whereas the free end of the roller blind or the drawbar on the seat is arranged.

at it may be the seat that delimits the cargo compartment at the front to act the rearmost of a plurality of successively arranged benches.

In a preferred embodiment is the bench as a whole "foldable", which means that the backrest the seat pivoted forward to the seat of the seat down can be used to thereby the usable space for loading the vehicle to enlarge towards the front. Also can the bench a so-called "split Bench ", in which at least one seat part is foldable. If all Seat parts of such a seat can be folded down, it results again the opportunity to to fold the seat as a whole.

Especially in a total folding bench can be beneficial both the loading floor as well as the roller blind over a majority of Vehicle width extend.

In a preferred embodiment is the seat in total adjustable in the vehicle longitudinal direction.

In an embodiment it is provided that the loading floor is substantially plate-shaped, for example, of approximately rectangular shape. However, the loading floor can especially at its lateral edges and / or at its front edge also with towering side walls be provided that ride when extending the loading floor and in particular firmly connected to the loading floor (eg in one piece). In In this case, the loading floor forms together with its towering ones walls an "extendable Loading container ".

In an advantageous embodiment of the invention is provided that arranged on the seat roller blind end of the same uncoupled and covering, for example, on the loading floor lying load, at the top of the loading floor (or another point in the rear of the vehicle) can be coupled. The roller blind device designed in this way thus offers something like that additionally the function of conventional Cargo space covers, which are thus unnecessary. If the loading floor towering side walls Accordingly, it may accordingly be provided that the of the seat dissolved Rollostirnende in the upper edge region of the side walls can be coupled again, to form a top cover for the "load container".

in the The scope of the invention should not be excluded that below of the loading floor (then mostly smaller) additional storage space is located (eg for a spare wheel and / or tool), the z. B. by a move or pivoting or removing corresponding loading floor sections accessible from above becomes.

The Extensibility of the loading floor or loading container can in the simplest case be provided purely translational, such as by means of a simple linear guide, the of two parallel to each other in the vehicle longitudinal direction at the side Edges of the Loading floor extending rail guides is formed. The extension The loading floor can be driven by a motor or provided manually be. Especially with a motor driven extension and retraction it may be appropriate in individual cases, a vertical component of motion (or a pivoting about a in the vehicle transverse direction extending axis) in at least one phase to provide the loading floor movement.

In a development of the invention, it is provided that at the Seat arranged Rollostirnende decoupled from the same and can be re-docked in the roof area of the vehicle, z. B. - in Vehicle longitudinal direction considered - im Essentially vertically over the other (held on the loading floor) Rollostirnende. Thus possesses the Rolloeinrichtung another functionality, namely as a separator between cargo space and passenger compartment of the vehicle. noteworthy is that even after such, easy to do by the user Remodeling, all already described advantageous effects of the blind device remain.

The Invention will now be described with reference to embodiments with reference on the attached Drawings closer described. They each represent schematically:

1 is a perspective view of essential for understanding the invention vehicle components according to a first embodiment,

2 is one of the 1 corresponding view when the loading floor is extended,

3 is one of the 1 corresponding view with the seat folded down,

4 is one of the 1 corresponding view with extended loading floor and folded seat,

5 is one of the 1 corresponding view, in which the use of the roller blind is illustrated as load cover, and

6 is one of the 1 corresponding view according to another embodiment, in which the loading floor is provided with upstanding side walls.

1 shows one between a seat 10 and a tailgate (not shown) of a motor vehicle arranged loading space 12 in the situation shown by the front by a backrest 14 the seat 10 and to the rear of the not shown, z. B. outwardly upwardly pivotable tailgate of the vehicle is limited. Down the cargo space 12 from a loading floor 16 limited.

When the tailgate is open, the loading floor 16 to simplify the loading process in a conventional manner to the rear beyond the vehicle contour are extended protruding (to then be retracted together with the load again) (arrow 20 ). When extended, the rear edge of the loading floor towers over 16 appreciably a rear bumper area 18 of the vehicle.

In addition, the seat is 10 (in turn, manually or motor driven) in the vehicle longitudinal direction movable (arrow 22 ). Finally, also in a conventional manner, the seat 10 "folded", ie the backrest 14 forward to a seat cushion 24 the seat 10 down to be lowered (arrow 26 ).

Furthermore one recognizes in 1 one at the top of the backrest 14 attached headrest 28 ,

The referring to here 1 described load space construction is of a completely conventional type and may differ from the illustrated embodiment of vehicle type to vehicle type in the specific design of the components vary (see, eg, the above-mentioned documents to the prior art). For simplicity of illustration, in 1 omitted from the understanding of the invention, not essential components. In this context, it should also be mentioned that, unlike the simplified illustration, the seat 10 can be designed as a so-called "split seat", ie with several in the vehicle transverse direction a number forming seat parts. In such split benches, the seat cushion in the vehicle transverse direction is often formed continuously, whereas the backrest consists of several parts that can be folded individually.

A special feature of the illustrated load compartment construction is that a roller blind device 30 , as in 1 shown, between the seat 10 and the loading floor 16 is arranged extending.

In the illustrated embodiment, the blind device 30 in a simple way by the user of the vehicle itself removable or reusable. Alternatively, the blind device could 30 when the vehicle's original equipment or vehicle retrofitting firmly (not dismountable without tools) are installed.

In the illustrated embodiment, the blind device comprises 30 a lockable at the front edge of the loading floor 16 held roller blind cassette 32 , This a first front end of the roller blind device 30 forming roller blind cassette 32 contains in a cassette housing a rotatably mounted and biased in a rotational direction by a spring motor integrated in the cassette winding shaft extending in the vehicle transverse direction and on which a flexible material web 34 (For example, made of tear-resistant plastic) can be wound driven by the spring motor. In known manner, the roller blind protrudes 34 in this case from a longitudinal direction of the roller blind cassette 32 extending slot and can be pulled out against the spring preload.

The provided by the winding shaft mechanism roller blind removal direction, as in a roller blind cassette z. B. is defined by the exit slot, z. B. may be provided approximately horizontally to the rear. This is the case in the illustrated embodiment and has the advantage that any dirt reaching the roller blind when entering the blinds can not easily get into the winding shaft mechanism (but falls on the loading floor). Deviating from the illustrated embodiment, however, also another roller blind pull-off direction or in a different orientation to the roller blind cassette 32 be arranged arranged exit slot. If this slot z. B. is oriented substantially vertically upwards, the roller blind assembly in the in 1 slightly more compact. Preferably, the predetermined by the mutual position of winding shaft and exit slot roller blind pull-off direction is in a range from about vertically upwards to about horizontally to the rear.

The other front end of the roller blind device 30 is from the free end of the web or blind 34 and a Zugspriegel arranged in this area 36 educated. The drawbar 36 has a transverse extension of the roller blind 34 slightly protruding length, so that the lateral Zugspriegelenden as in 1 shown at the top of the back of the seat 10 in suitably trained (not shown) retaining recesses of the backrest 14 can be hung.

Due to the "self-retracting" design of the roller blind device 30 tries the roller blind 34 always a more or less flat extension between the roller blind cassette 32 and the drawbar 36 take.

The illustrated arrangement of the roller blind device 30 is beneficial in several ways.

In the in 1 illustrated situation prevents the blind 30 For example, scratching the back of the backrest 14 in the case where the user of the vehicle with the tailgate open (or open rear vehicle doors) a bulky item in the hold 12 lifts in and on the (retracted) loading floor 16 pushes forward. The roller blind 34 forms in this case, so to speak, a protective layer between the load and the seat 10 , Further advantageous effects or functions of the roller blind device 30 will be described below with reference to the 2 to 5 described.

2 illustrates the situation when the loading floor is extended 16 , Again, forms the blind 34 an advantageous protective layer between the load and the seat 10 , In addition, the roller blind prevents 34 advantageous an undesirable penetration of cargo or dirt in the between seat 10 and loading floor 16 resulting gap. In this situation, the seat can 10 be adjusted in the vehicle longitudinal direction (arrow 22 ), for example, forward to increase the usable cargo space. Even then, the last two advantages remain.

3 shows a situation in which starting from 1 the bench 10 was folded. With this folding of the seat, the user of the vehicle usually pursues in practice the purpose to increase the usable load space and the downwardly pivoted backrest 14 the seat 10 in a sense as an extension of the loading floor 16 to use. In this situation forms the roller blind 34 again a protective layer for the back of the backrest 14 that can be easily scratched in this situation in conventional vehicles, for example, by a bulky object more or less uncontrolled on the backrest 14 pushed forward.

4 shows a situation where the seat 10 folded down again (and possibly shifted forward) and extended to facilitate the loading of the loading floor. In this situation forms the roller blind 34 a protective intermediate layer between the backrest 14 and the load and at the same time again a gap cover between the seat 10 and the back edge of the loading floor 16 , If in this situation the loading floor 16 is retracted, so the roller blind 34 driven by the spring motor advantageously again be wound a little way automatically on the winding shaft.

5 illustrates a further advantageous functionality of the blind 34 , namely from the into the 1 to 4 already shown attachment to the seat 10 disconnected and can be stretched over the same to cover the load (arrow 38 ). This alternative arrangement of the roller blind and the Zugsspriegels is in 5 With 34 ' respectively. 36 ' characterized. The lateral ends of the Zugspriegels 36 ' can here by the user of the vehicle in corresponding retaining recesses in the lateral edge region of the loading floor 16 be hung. Advantageously, starting from this situation, the loading floor 16 be extended, about then the Zugspriegel 36 ' Convenient to take out comfortably from its loading platform side mount and at the same time the load in a comfortable manner from the loading floor 16 take down.

at the following description of another embodiment be for analogous components use the same reference numbers, respectively added by a small letter "a" to distinguish the embodiment. It is essentially only on the differences from the already described embodiment received and otherwise hereby expressly refer to the description of the previous embodiment.

6 FIG. 12 illustrates a modification of FIG 1 to 5 described embodiment.

The in 6 apparent loading floor 16a is at its lateral edges with vertically protruding sidewalls 40a and 42a provided, which together with the loading floor a cargo box ("Cargobox") form. The side walls 40a and 42a are stuck with the loading floor 16a connected and can be moved with the same backwards out of the vehicle opening. Another difference from the Aus guideline is that instead of directly on the loading floor 16a provided retaining recesses for the drawbar now corresponding retaining recesses 44a at the top of the side walls 40a and 42a are provided. In the illustrated embodiment, these retaining recesses 44a Equidistantly distributed over the entire length of the sidewall upper edges. Alternatively or additionally, such retaining recesses for suspending the Zugspriegels 36a also on the front edges of the side walls 40a and 42a be provided. In addition, it is possible deviating from the illustrated embodiment, an upstanding wall also on the front edge of the loading floor 16a (but preferably behind the roller blind cassette 32a ). Especially if such a front wall on the loading floor 16a has a significant vertical extent, for example, extends up to the level of the side wall upper edges, so this front wall is advantageously removable or on top of the loading floor 16a designed to fold down.
