Incidentally, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-36945,
Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 5-58577 discloses a truck bed provided with a triangular display plate on the side of the cargo room of a tailgate (rear door). However, in this technique, when using a triangular display panel, the tailgate must be opened, which is troublesome. In addition, there is a disadvantage that the tailgate covers the tail lamp, and the means for confirming from the rear vehicle is only a triangle display panel. Further, when a load hits the triangular display panel due to vibration during traveling, the triangular display panel may be broken.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a good-looking exclusive storage space for a triangular display panel and to easily use the triangular display panel without opening a tailgate. It is to provide the technology that can be.

[0005]

The gist of the present invention is as follows. A garnish as a decorative member is provided between the left and right tail lamps at the rear of the truck. This garnish can be configured so that its front side is covered with a light reflecting plate. On the back of the garnish, one end of each of the first and second plates forming the two hypotenuses of the triangle display panel,
The triangular display plates are rotatably connected to each other so as to form a top portion. Further, a structure in which both ends of a third plate forming a bottom side of the triangle display plate are slidably and rotatably connected to respective other ends of the first and second plates so that the triangle display plate can be folded up and down. And Such a connection structure can be constituted by, for example, a long hole or a groove and a pin inserted therein, and the triangular display plate is folded so that the triangular shape is broken.
In addition, a stopper that holds the triangular display plate folded so as to be hidden behind the garnish in its folded state,
Attach to garnish.

Furthermore, a mudguard plate can be provided integrally with the third plate forming the bottom of the triangular display plate. The mudguard plate is provided so as to cover the triangle display plate folded on the back side of the garnish from the side opposite to the garnish and from below. In this case, a stopper for holding the triangular display plate in a folded state can be configured to be locked to the mudguard plate.

[0007]

When the triangular display panel is used when the truck is parked and stopped, the triangular display panel is expanded from the folded state into a triangular shape by opening the stopper. Thereby, the top of the triangular display panel is supported by the garnish, and can be visually recognized from behind while being suspended from the garnish. At this time, there is no need to open the tailgate, nor does the taillight hide.

On the other hand, when the triangular display plate is not used, it is lifted upward to be folded on the back of the garnish, and the folded state is maintained by a stopper. The board is almost hidden behind the garnish and looks good in appearance.

When the mudguard plate is provided integrally with the third plate forming the bottom of the triangular display plate, the mudguard plate covers the folded triangular display plate from the side opposite to the garnish and from below. State. For this reason, mud and the like jumping up from the rear wheel of the truck are shielded by the mudguard plate, and are prevented or suppressed from adhering to the triangular display plate. Furthermore, in the case where the front side of the garnish is configured to be covered with a light reflector (reflector), the garnish also has an alerting function in addition to the triangular display panel, so that it is easy to confirm from a rear vehicle.

And a plate 13 whose top is connected to the back of the garnish 8. These plates 11, 12 and 13
Is formed with a reflector (light reflecting plate) at least on the surface side.

FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the above-described connection structure. First, a garnish 8 is a garnish body 14 functioning as a frame, and a light reflecting plate (hereinafter, referred to as a reflector) mounted so as to cover the front side. 15 are combined.

The garnish body 14 is provided with a band-like plate member extending in the lateral direction, which is provided in a vertically standing state.
A pair of mounting plate portions 16 are formed on both end sides thereof so as to protrude toward the back side. In a state where these mounting plate portions 16 correspond to the respective outer side surfaces of the pair of sleepers 2 shown in FIG.
The garnish body 14 is fixed to each sleeper 2 by tightening the 7. At this time, the end plate 6
Is usually removed, but may be left as it is.

Returning to FIG. 7, the reflector 15 of the garnish 8 is formed with a shaft 18 projecting from the center of the rear surface thereof, inserted into the through hole 19 of the garnish body 14, and protruding from the rear surface by a certain amount. The first and second plates 11 and 12 are rotatably fitted to the shaft 18 at shaft holes 20 and 21 formed at one end thereof, and further, are screwed into the shaft 18 by screws 22. It has been stopped.

At the other end of each of the first and second plates 11 and 12, elongated holes 23 and 24 are formed along the longitudinal direction, and pins 25 and 2 inserted into the elongated holes 23 and 24, respectively.
6 are connected to both ends of the third plate 13 respectively. Thereby, the first and second plates 11 and 12
And the third plate 13 are rotatably and slidably connected to each other. As a result, the triangular display panel 10 has a structure that can be folded up and down so as to be collapsed. In addition, arc-shaped relief edges 11a and 12a are formed at the other ends of the first and second plates 11 and 12 so that the folding operation is performed smoothly.

As is apparent from FIG. 9, the portions of the first and second plates 11 and 12 where the shaft holes 20 and 21 are formed are approximately half the wall thickness of the main body portion.
In order to prevent a step from occurring at the connecting portion between the two plates 11 and 12, the two plates 11 and 12 are positioned in one plane.

The third plate 13 shown in FIG.
A mudguard 27 is provided. This mudguard 27
As is clear from FIG. 4, the horizontal portion 28 is fixed to the lower edge of the third plate 13 and extends along the longitudinal direction of the third plate 13, and is perpendicular to the third plate 13 and a vertical portion 29 parallel to the third plate 13. Is provided. The horizontal portion 28 projects further rearward than the first and second plates 11 and 12, and a vertical portion 29 on the opposite side faces the rear surface of the third plate 13. As is clear from FIG.
