Description

  The present invention relates to a trunk space partition for improving the usability of a trunk space of an automobile or the like.

  A trunk space, which is one of storage spaces provided in an automobile or the like, is provided by using, for example, a rear part of a vehicle body that is a remaining part of a boarding space or the like. This trunk space is often formed as a single space in order to have versatility. For this reason, depending on the user, this space is too wide, and there are many requests to partition and use it from the viewpoint of improving usability.

Of course, various structures have been proposed as a partition for the trunk space in order to meet such a demand, but the variation was not sufficient to meet the specific demands of individual users.
For example, a technical proposal has been made so that the partitioning mode in the trunk space can be freely set. However, it is necessary to lay rail-shaped mounting members in the trunk space in advance, so that the trunk space is single. When it is desired to use it as a space, this large partition restricts the accommodation volume of the trunk space depending on its size (Patent Document 1).
Moreover, as a thing paying attention to this problem, although the thing which made the partition plate the roll-up type net has been proposed, the trunk space cannot be divided into two or more spaces, and the rail-shaped in advance A mounting member is also required (Patent Document 2).

  The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be disclosed in the following description of specific embodiments and drawings.

What is indicated by reference numeral 1 in the drawing is a partitioning tool of the present invention, and this is installed so as to partition, for example, a trunk space T in the automobile C as shown in FIG. First, as shown in FIG. 1 (2), the partition 1 is composed of a main partition plate element 10 which is one of the partition plate elements, and a sub partition plate element 20 connected so as to be foldable at one end thereof. Composed.
In addition, although the partition 1 of a present Example is provided with the subpartitioning plate element 20, there are some which are not provided with the subpartitioning plate element 20, but are comprised only with the main partitioning plate element 10, and in this case The partition 1 is substantially constituted only by the main partition plate element 10.

Hereinafter, various members constituting the partition 1 will be described in detail as shown in FIG.
The main partition plate element 10 which is the main member will be described. This is an outer shell member 11 configured in a rectangular tube shape that is almost a long plate shape, and a slide plate that is fitted into the cylindrical shape. 15.
The outer shell member 11 is made of resin, light metal, wood, paperboard, or the like as an example of a light and strong material. A lid 12 is provided at one end of the outer shell member 11 and the interior of the outer shell member is a slide plate. A hook-and-loop fastener F, which is an example of the fixing portion S, is attached to the outer end surface of the lid 12 forming the 15 accommodating portions 13. In addition, since this hook-and-loop fastener F is for fixing the partition 1 to the trunk space T, it does not interfere even if it stretches on the bottom face of the outer shell members 11 and 21 besides this surface, for example.
Incidentally, the hook-and-loop fastener F is convenient as a fixing means when the peripheral wall portion and the bottom portion of the trunk space T are subjected to interior finishing such as felt, while the peripheral wall portion of the trunk space T is made of metal. Is a fixed portion S, and specifically, a magnet or the like can be applied.
In addition, it is also preferable to form a buffer material for preventing damage to the load B on the surface of the outer shell member 11.
Further, the dimension in the longitudinal direction of the outer shell member 11 is, for example, a length exceeding 50% with respect to the width direction of the normal trunk space T.
Next, the slide plate 15 assembled into the outer shell member 11 is formed of resin, light metal, wood, paperboard, etc. as an example of a light and durable material, and the shape thereof is substantially a long plate shape. A stopper portion 16 is provided at the tip of the lever.
Further, the stopper portion 16 has a size that is larger in either the thickness direction or the height direction than the opening portion 14 of the outer shell member 11, and the distal end portion of the slide plate 15 enters the back of the storage portion 12 of the outer shell member 11. It is something that is not.
A hook-and-loop fastener F, which is an example of the fixing portion S, is attached to the end face on the extension side of the stopper portion 16. Of course, as the other fixing portion S, a magnet, an adhesive rubber sheet, or the like can be applied.

Further, a stabilizing mechanism 17 is provided in the vicinity of the end of the slide plate 15 opposite to the stopper portion 16 to maintain the slide plate 15 and the outer shell member 11 in a stable state. As an example, the stabilization mechanism 17 is configured by providing a plate spring curved in an arc shape provided in a groove provided in a part of the bottom surface of the slide plate 15 with a convex portion on the outside.
In addition to this, an elastic body such as a spring or a roller urged to the outside may be applied to the outer peripheral portion of the slide plate 15 so that these can be pressed against the inner surface of the outer shell member 11. Such a mechanism is also applied to a slide plate 25 fitted in a sub partition plate element 20 described later.

Next, the sub partition plate element 20 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, this member has substantially the same structure as the main partition plate element 10 described above, and although detailed description thereof is omitted, the main member of the sub partition plate element 20 is an outer member. A shell member 21, a lid 22, and a slide plate 25 are provided.
In this description, the sub partition plate element 20 is distinguished from the main partition plate element 10 by comparing the lengths of the outer shell members 11 and 21 in the longitudinal direction. 10 and the short side is defined as the sub-partition plate element 20 for convenience.

These two main partition plate elements 10 and sub partition plate elements 20 are connected to each other by a connecting member 3 using a hinge so as to be foldable.
Of course, a machine element other than a hinge can be applied as long as it is a mechanical element that can be connected to each other in a foldable manner and can be fixed while maintaining a desired angle.
In the present embodiment, in a state where the sub partition plate element 20 is raised, the end surface on the opening 14 side of the main partition plate element 10 and the side surface of the outer shell member 21 of the sub partition plate element 20 are the same plane. As described above, the hinge is fixed in the vicinity of the end on the opening 14 side by shifting the dimension corresponding to the thickness of the outer shell member 21 so as to be foldable.

  The above is a member constituting the partition for the trunk space T of the present invention. When this is not used, the slide plates 15 and 25 are placed in the accommodating portions 13 and 23 of the outer shell members 11 and 21, respectively. The sub partition plate element 20 is laid on the main partition plate element 10 while being pushed in, and the substantially flat plate state shown in FIG.

In order to use the partition 1 for the trunk space T of the present invention described above, it is used in the procedure as shown in FIGS. 2 (1) to (4).
First, when the state in which the partition 1 for the trunk space T is in the retracted state is the initial state, the partition in the retracted state shown in FIG. 2 (1) is in an appropriate position on the floor surface of the trunk space T of the vehicle. Thus, as shown in FIG. 2 (2), the sub partition plate element 20 is raised so as to be substantially perpendicular to the main partition plate element 10 in plan view. At this time, when the hook-and-loop fastener F (fixed portion S) provided on the side surface of the lid 12 of the main partition plate element 10 is pressed against the wall surface of the trunk space T, the fixing is achieved.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 2 (3) and (4), the slide plates 15 and 25 of the partition plate elements 10 and 20 are pulled out, and the stopper portions 16 and 26 provided at the ends of the slide plates 15 and 25 are attached. Each is pressed against the wall of the trunk space T and fixed. In this case, when the slide plates 15 and 25 have the mechanism of the stabilization mechanism 17, the stabilization mechanism 17 can prevent the slide plates 15 and 25 from rattling.

  By such an operation, the trunk space T, which was a single space, can be divided into three regions. In FIG. 1, two regions are provided on the front side of the outlet of the trunk space T. It is arranged like a “T-shape” that divides the space, but by changing the arrangement direction of the partition 1, the “T-shape with the top and bottom reversed”, the “T-shape”, and the “left-right” are reversed. A total of four patterns are possible.

[Other Examples]
Embodiments with various modifications as shown in FIGS. 3 to 9 are possible, and will be described with reference to the respective drawings.
First, the partition 1 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is provided with a plurality of sub-partition plate elements 20 for one main partition plate element 10. This makes it possible to increase the number of regions that can be partitioned as compared with the case where one subpartition plate element 20 is provided. Further, if necessary, a plurality of sub-partition plate elements 20 can be raised and used as a partition plate, so that a large amount of luggage B can be stored separately. The luggage B can be stored in the trunk space T.
As for the arrangement of the plurality of sub-partition plate elements 20, in addition to those provided on one surface of the main partition plate element 10 as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. Further, the sub partition plate element 20 may be further connected to the outer shell member 21 of the sub partition plate element 20.

Next, the partition 1 shown in FIG. 5 includes a foldable storage pocket P on the side surface of the outer shell member 11 of the main partition plate element 10, and the main partition plate element 10, the sub partition plate element 20, and the like. A storage pocket P is attached to a portion sandwiched between the two. By providing the storage pocket P, it is possible to store so-called loose articles separately from other packages. Note that the storage pocket P has a folded structure for compact storage even when the partition 1 is folded, as shown in FIG. As an example, a bottom plate P1 and a front plate P2 are formed by using a plate member, a metal net, a punching metal, or the like, and these are connected to each other by a hinge P3 so that they can be folded together, and the bottom plate P1 is an outer shell. The member 11 is pivotally attached so as to be pulled out by a hinge P4.
Further, a side member P5 having flexibility and sufficient strength is provided at the side end portions of the bottom plate P1 and the front plate P2, and the sub partition plate element 20 is provided at the other end portion on the side member P5 side. A fixing member P6 is provided so as to be fixed. And when this is pulled out and used, it becomes a pocket and can be used as a box-shaped region.
In addition to the addition of the box-shaped region such as the storage pocket P, the storage pocket P is attached to be freely laid down by a connecting member D1 having a rotation fulcrum around the upper end piece of the outer shell member 11 as shown in FIG. Yes. When the auxiliary top plate D is lifted upward, a folding support member D2 is provided on the floor side surface of the trunk space. When the auxiliary top plate D is lifted upward, The support member D2 is raised to support the auxiliary top plate D.

Next, the partition plate elements 10 and 20 shown in FIG. 7 employ a plurality of pipe-like forms instead of plate-like forms of the slide plates 15 and 25. When the pipe-like slide plates 15 and 25 are applied, a bayonet engagement structure is taken as an example between the tip and the stopper portion 16 so that both ends can be engaged and disengaged.
With this structure, it is possible to divide the region divided by the slide plates 15 and 25 in the height direction. That is, by placing a part of the slide plates 15 and 25 in the housing portions 13 and 14 of the outer shell members 11 and 21, the originally divided region is maintained as one region, so that the thickness is greatly increased in plan view. It is possible to efficiently store the unloaded baggage B or the like.

The stopper portion 16 provided at the tip of the slide plates 15 and 25 shown in FIG. 8 is provided with a fixing piece 16a to enable the partition 1 to be fixed more reliably.
This fixed piece 16a is attached to the side surface of the stopper portion 16 so as to be able to fall down with its lower portion as a rotation fulcrum. A fastener F is bonded to the lower surface of the fixing piece 16a when it is lying down, and when it is tilted, the surface fastener F is fixed so as to bite into a felt sheet laid in the trunk space T.
As a result, the slide plates 15 and 25 can be fixed midway without being extended until they contact the peripheral wall portion.
As other means having the same effect, although not shown, a fixing bolt is provided in the vicinity of the openings 14 and 24 of the outer shell members 11 and 21, and the fixing bolt is tightened in an appropriately extended state. The slide plates 15 and 25 can be fixed.

  The partition 1 shown in FIG. 9 is provided with an expansion / contraction net N having an expansion / contraction function. The stretchable net N is provided along the top plate surface of the outer shell member 11 of the main partition plate element 10 as an example. When the partition 1 is used, the stretchable net N is partitioned. By covering the area, it is possible to prevent the luggage from jumping out while traveling. Of course, as shown in FIG. 9 (2), the subpartition plate element 20 is folded in the folded state as shown in FIG. be able to.
