The lower shaft portion bearing 27 has an end surface 27a located at substantially the same position in the vehicle width direction as the end surface 25a of the shaft portion bearing 25 shown in FIG. 3, and an arcuate groove 27c is formed on the upper surface 27b. The end portion of the shaft 17 is arranged and supported on 27c. Similarly to the groove 25c shown in FIG. 4, the groove 27c includes a convex arc-shaped portion 27d at the opening edge and a width dimension between the opening edges (corresponding to the width dimension H in FIG. 4). Is slightly shorter than the diameter D of the shaft 17.

  The lower shaft portion receiver 27 includes a horizontal portion 27e that protrudes inward in the vehicle width direction from the lower end portion of the end surface 27a, and includes a vertical portion 27f that bends upward from the horizontal portion 27e. 27e and the vertical part 27f constitute a hook 28 for hooking luggage such as a shopping bag. Here, the upper end surface 27 f 1 of the vertical portion 27 f is set at a position lower than the upper surface 27 b of the lower shaft portion receiver 27.

  In FIG. 1, the luggage trim 7 on the right side of the vehicle body in the luggage room 5 is shown, but the left side of the vehicle body has the same structure.

  Next, the usage example of the above-mentioned tonneau cover 1 is demonstrated based on FIG.5 and FIG.6. FIG. 5 shows a first example in which the shaft 17 at the rear end of the vehicle body is supported by the rear lower shaft bearing 29 and the front five shafts 17 are respectively supported by the corresponding shaft bearings 25. The two lower shaft bearings 27 are not used. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 1, the tonneau cover 1 partitions the lower space and the upper space of the luggage room 5 so that the luggage (31, 3) stored in the lower space cannot be seen through the window 13 from the outside of the vehicle. It is possible to hide.

  At this time, in FIG. 5, a luggage 31 such as a shopping bag is hooked on the hook 28 of the front lower shaft support 27 and is stored in the luggage room 5, and the floor surface 11 of the luggage room 5 is A scale 33 (for example, carpet) is arranged and stored.

  FIG. 6 shows a second example of the usage example of the tonneau cover 1, and uses two lower shaft receivers 27 with respect to the first example of FIG. 5. That is, the second and third shafts 17 from the front side of the vehicle body are supported by the two lower shaft bearings 27, respectively, and the fourth and fifth shafts 17 are sequentially attached to the front shaft bearings 25 with respect to FIG. Further, the rearmost shaft 17 is supported by the rearmost shaft bearing 25. At this time, the rear lower shaft bearing 29 is not used.

  As a result, the tonneau cover 1 is formed with an inverted trapezoidal luggage storage space 35 in a side view bent downward at the periphery at a portion where the two shafts 17 are supported by the lower shaft receiver 27. It becomes possible to stably store a spherical load 37 such as a ball.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the plate-like portion 15 (the tonneau cover 1) is removed from the floor surface 11 of the luggage room 5 with the luggage 37 placed on the plate-like portion 15 in the vicinity of the shaft 17 supported by the lower shaft portion receiver 27. Convenience can be improved as a luggage storage structure, such as being able to hold in a separated state and storing another luggage (long object 33) on the floor surface 11 in this state.

  When the shaft 17 is supported by the shaft receiver 25, the lower shaft receiver 27, and the rear lower shaft receiver 29, as shown in FIG. 4, the grooves 25c, 27c, and 29c have the opening edge portions. Since the width dimension H between them is slightly shorter than the diameter D of the shaft 17, the opening edge is elastically deformed by pushing the shaft 17 downward. Therefore, in a state where the shaft 17 is pushed into and supported by the grooves 25c, 27c, and 29c, the shaft 17 is not easily detached from the shaft portion receiver 25, the lower shaft portion receiver 27, and the rear lower shaft portion receiver 29, and the tonneau cover 1 is stabilized.

  Moreover, when the tonneau cover 1 is set as in the second example of FIG. 6 by setting the upper end surface 27f1 of the vertical portion 27f of the hook 28 to a position lower than the upper surface 27b of the lower shaft portion receiver 27, the lower shaft The operation of hooking or removing the baggage 31 such as a shopping bag on the receptacle 27 can be easily performed without removing the plate-like portion 15 around the baggage 31 of the tonneau cover 1.

  Further, since the lower shaft receiver 27 is positioned below the vehicle body in the longitudinal direction of the adjacent ones of the plurality of shaft receivers 25, as shown in FIG. The plate-like portion 15 bent downward from the tonneau cover 1 between the receiving portion 27 and the three-plate-like portion 15 is inclined so that the luggage storage space becomes wider toward the upper opening side, so that the loading and unloading work can be performed. It becomes easy.

  Further, in this embodiment, the hook 28 for hooking the load is provided on the luggage trim 7 of the luggage room 5 and the lower shaft receiver 27 is formed integrally with the hook 28. Therefore, the lower shaft receiver 27 is separated from the hook. The manufacturing cost can be reduced as compared with the case of manufacturing as a body, and the surface shape of the luggage trim 7 becomes clean, which is advantageous in terms of appearance quality.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the shaft receiver 25, the lower shaft receiver 27, and the rear lower shaft receiver 29 are integrated (integrated molding) with the luggage trim 7 of the luggage room 5, when manufactured separately. In comparison, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, the number of parts can be reduced, and the assembly workability can be improved.

  Moreover, since the rail 23 which is a cover support part which supports the edge part in the vehicle width direction of the plate-shaped part 15 which is a cover main body was provided between the several shaft part receivers 25, the tonneau cover 1 was made into board type especially. In this case, the support of the tonneau cover 1 can be made more stable.

  When the tonneau cover 1 is the cover type shown in FIG. 2B, the rail 23 is not necessary because it is lighter than the board type shown in FIG.

  Further, by integrating the rail 23 as the cover support portion with the luggage trim 7 in the same manner as the shaft support 25 and the like, the manufacturing cost can be reduced as compared with the case of manufacturing as a separate body, and the number of parts can be reduced. It can be reduced and the assembly workability is improved.

  When changing the usage example of the tonneau cover 1 between the first example of FIG. 5 and the second example of FIG. 6, for example, the entire tonneau cover 1 is inclined in the vehicle width direction. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the plate-like portion 15 has an interval between the rails 23 (corresponding to the width dimension of the shaft support 25 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body so as to ensure an inclined state. ) Must be wide enough.

  When the tonneau cover 1 is not used, it is stored in an appropriate position in the luggage room 5 or taken out of the vehicle.
