BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiments of a vehicle tarp according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 to 14 show Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in the figures, a substantially rectangular opening 3 is formed in the rear portion of a vehicle body 2 constituting a vehicle 1. As shown in FIG. A rear gate 4, which is a door, is attached to the rear portion of the vehicle body 2 so as to be swingable in the longitudinal direction. The vehicle 1 is generally called a hatchback wagon.

The rear gate 4 is attached to the vehicle body 2 so as to be swingable in the front-rear direction around the rear upper portion of the vehicle body 2 by means of a hinge rotation shaft 5 provided at the upper portion thereof. One ends of left and right open stays 6, 6 are attached to the upper left and right sides of the opening 3 so as to be able to swing. The other ends of the left and right open stays 6 , 6 are pivotally attached to the left and right side portions of the rear gate 4 . These open stays 6, 6 are urged in the extension direction and can be extended and contracted, so that the rear gate 4 can be kept in the fully open position (see FIG. 3).

Normally, the biasing force in the opening direction of the open stays 6, 6 applied to the rear gate 4 acts in the range from the fully open position to the point of interest (not shown) before closing, and from the point of interest to the closed position. In the range, the rear gate 4 is biased in the closing direction by its own weight.

A vehicle tarp 11 is provided at the rear portion of the vehicle 1, and the vehicle tarp 11 has tarp bodies 12, 12 which form a pair on the left and right.

The tarp body 12 is made of a sheet-like member made of polyester, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE cloth), or the like, and is foldable and unfoldable.

The tarp body 12 has a substantially triangular shape, and has substantially linear one side edge portions 13 attached to the left and right inner peripheral edge portions 3F, 3F of the opening 3, and to the left and right peripheral edge portions 4F, 4F of the rear gate 4. A substantially straight other side edge 14 for attachment and a deployment edge 15 are provided around the cover surface 18 . Thus, the cover surface 18 is provided between the one side edge portion 13 and the other side edge portion 14, is unfolded when the rear gate 4 is opened, and is folded when the rear gate 4 is closed. Further, the one side edge portion 13, the other side edge portion 14, and the unfolding edge portion 15 are formed at the edges of the cover surface 18. As shown in FIG.

The angle formed by the one side edge 13 and the other side edge 14 corresponds to the angle formed by the opening 3 and the rear gate 4 in the fully open position. Both the one side edge portion 13 and the other side edge portion 14 are attached to the inner side of the abutting portion between the opening portion 3 and the rear gate 4 in the closed position of the rear gate 4 . Further, the inside of the vehicle body 2 in front of the butted portion is also an opening 3 .

The one side edge 13 and the other side edge 14 are attached to the opening 3 and the rear gate 4 by attachment means 19 . A snap button, a suction cup, a hook, a hook-and-loop fastener, or the like is used as the attachment means 19, and the tarp body 12 can be fixed with a predetermined strength.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 2 and the like, the one side edge portion 13 is fixed to the inner peripheral edge portion 3F of the opening portion 3 using a plurality of mounting means 19 made of snap buttons. 1 and 3 show a state in which the tarp body 12 is attached only to the right side of the vehicle 1. As shown in FIG.

The unfolding edge portion 15 is an edge portion of the cover surface 18 that is unfolded when the rear gate 4 is opened, and is formed substantially linearly in this example. As shown in FIG. 3, when the rear gate 4 is in the fully open position, one end 16 of the developed edge 15 is pulled toward the opening 3, and the other end 17 of the developed edge 15 is pulled toward the rear gate 4. As a result, the unfolding edge 15 is stretched with a predetermined tension F.

One ends 21A and 22A of string-like members 21 and 22 are attached to the opening 3 side and the rear gate 4 side of the cover surface 18 on the unfolding edge portion 15 side, respectively. 12 are arranged so as to pass through the inner side of the vehicle 1 in the width direction. When the tarp body 12 is attached, the open stays 6 are located outside the tarp body 12 in the width direction of the vehicle 1, as shown in FIG.

A winding member 25 for winding the other end 21B side of the string member 21 is attached to the opening 3 side of the vehicle body 2, and a winding member 25 for winding the other end 22B side of the string member 22. is attached to the rear gate 4. The string-like members 21 and 22 are thin strings made of synthetic resin and are not stretchable, but they may be belts or chains.

The winding member 25 is attached to the opening 3 side of the vehicle body 2 and to the rear gate 4, respectively. As shown in FIG. 4, the winding member 25 has a casing 26 made of synthetic resin in the shape of a hollow disk. A reel 27 to be wound up and a torsion spring 28 as biasing means for urging the reel 27 to rotate in the winding direction of the string members 21 and 22 are housed. A pulling force is always applied to the opening 3 side and the rear gate 4 side to 21 and 22 .

When the string-like members 21, 21, 22, 22 pull the unfolding edges 15, 15, a force is generated to close the rear gate 4. The rear gate 4 is held at the fully open position because it is smaller than the holding force. Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the unfolding edge portion 15 is slightly pulled upward by pulling the portions where the ends 21A and 22A of the string members 21 and 22 are attached. This force balance keeps the deployment edge 15 taut, making it less likely that the deployment edge 15 will flex or flutter under the influence of the wind.

As shown in FIG. 5 , the winding members 25 , 25 of the string members 21 , 22 are arranged inside the tarp body 12 in the width direction of the vehicle 1 . These string-like members 21 and 22 are arranged in a substantially vertical direction, and when the rear gate 4 is fully open, the other ends 21B and 22B of the string-like members 21 and 22 are arranged inside the width direction of the vehicle 1 from the ends 21A and 22A. When viewed from the rear of the vehicle 1, the angle of the string members 21 and 22 with respect to the vertical is more than 0 degrees and 15 degrees or less, preferably 10 degrees or less.

When the angle of the string members 21 and 22 with respect to the vertical is small as described above, it is preferable to provide the winding members 25 and 25 . By setting the angle of the string-like members 21 and 22 to 15 degrees or less with respect to the vertical when viewed from the rear of the vehicle 1, the string-like members 21 and 22 do not become a hindrance.

FIG. 6 shows a modification of the mounting position of the other ends 21B and 22B. When viewed from the rear, the angle of the string members 21 and 22 with respect to the vertical is 30 degrees to 60 degrees (30 degrees or more and 60 degrees or less), preferably 40 degrees to 50 degrees.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when the rear gate 4 is fully open, the other end 21B of the string member 21 is preferably positioned above the one end 21A, and the string member 21 is positioned in a side view of the vehicle 1. The angle θ1 with respect to the vertical is between 50 degrees and 80 degrees. Further, the one end 21A is attached to the central side of the unfolding edge portion 15. As shown in FIG.

In addition, when the rear gate 4 is fully open, the other end 22B of the string member 22 is preferably arranged above the one end 22A, and when the vehicle 1 is viewed from the side, the angle θ2 of the string member 22 with respect to the vertical line is (22.5 degrees) 5 degrees or more and 40 degrees. In addition, the one end 22A is attached closer to the other end 17 than the central position of the developed edge portion 15. As shown in FIG.

In this case, when the liftgate 4 is closed from the fully open position shown in FIG. 2, the angle .theta.1 gradually decreases and the angle .theta.2 gradually increases. , the attachment of the string-like members 21 and 22 is set.

Further, in the closed position of the rear gate 4 shown in FIG. 14, the attachment of the string-like members 21 and 22 is preferably set so that the angle .theta.2 is 90 degrees or less. By doing this, when the rear gate 4 is in the closed position, the string member 22 does not apply a force to pull down the deployment edge portion 15 side, and the vehicle 1 is lifted up by the string members 21 and 22. can be stored inside.

Next, a method for using the vehicle tarp 11 will be described. When the rear gate 4 is manually opened to a position exceeding the point of consideration while the rear gate 4 is closed, the rear gate 4 is opened to the fully open position by the biasing force of the open stays 6, 6 in the opening direction. When the rear gate 4 is opened in this manner, the string-like members 21 and 22 are pulled out of the casing 26 against the urging of the winding members 25 and 25 in the winding direction. Further, at the fully open position, the force for holding the rear gate 4 at the fully open position by the open stays 6, 6 is greater than the force to fold the tarp body 12 by the urging force in the winding direction, and the rear gate 4 is at the fully open position. retained.

2, 7 to 10 and 11 to 14. When the rear gate 4 is closed in the fully open position, the cord members 21 and 22 push the cover surface 18 toward the development edge 15 side of the vehicle 1. Since it can be pulled upward in the width direction, the unfolding edge 15 is folded inside the vehicle 1, and the tarp body 12 can be prevented from being caught between the opening 3 and the rear gate 4.例文帳に追加

In particular, since one ends 21A and 22A of the two string-like members 21 and 22 are attached to the opening 3 side and the rear gate 4 side of the unfolding edge portion 15 of the cover surface 18 with a space therebetween, the one side edge portion 13 And it can be accommodated in such a manner that the unfolding edge portion 15 side longer than the other side edge portion 14 is pulled into the vehicle 1 .

As described above, in this embodiment, the vehicle tarp is attached to the opening 3 provided in the rear portion of the vehicle 1 and the rear gate 4 provided in the opening 3 so as to be openable and closable. , a tarp body 12, and string-like members 21, 21 attached to the tarp body 12. The tarp body 12 has one side edge 13 attached to the opening 3 and the other side edge 14 attached to the rear gate 4. , and a cover surface 18 provided between the one side edge portion 13 and the other side edge portion 14, the cover surface 18 being unfolded when the rear gate 4 is opened and folded and formed into a string-like shape when the rear gate 4 is closed. Since the member 21 is attached to the opening 3 and the rear gate 4 and arranged inside the tarp body 12 in the vehicle width direction, the tarp body 12 is sandwiched between the opening 3 and the rear gate 4 when the rear gate 4 is closed. can be prevented.

As described above, in this embodiment, the string-like members 21 and 22 pull the tarp body 12 toward the opening 3 and the rear gate 4, so that the string-like members 21 and 22 pull the rear gate. 4, the tarp body 12 can be accommodated inside the vehicle.

Thus, in this embodiment, corresponding to claim 3, the unfolding edge portion 15 is formed at the edge portion of the cover surface 18, and the winding member is biased in the direction of winding the string-like members 21 and 22. 25 , 25 , and the string-like members 21 , 22 pull the unfolding edge 15 side of the cover surface 18 toward the opening 3 and the rear gate 4 side by the winding members 25 , 25 . The tarp body 12 can be stored inside the vehicle when the rear gate 4 is closed by the 21 and 22 pulling the unfolding edge 15 side of the cover surface 18 .

As described above, in this embodiment, the cord-like member 21 attached to the opening 3 side of the vehicle 1 is attached to the opening 3 side of the cover surface 18 on the deployment edge 15 side, corresponding to claim 5. Another string-like member 22 attached to the rear gate 4 is attached to the rear gate 4 side of the cover surface 18 on the deployment edge 15 side. can be prevented from being caught between the opening 3 and the rear gate 4.例文帳に追加

Hereinafter, as an effect of the embodiment, the winding member 25 applies a force to the string-like members 21 and 22 to always pull the unfolding edge portion 15 side of the cover surface 18 toward the opening portion 3 side and the rear gate 4 side. Therefore, when the rear gate 4 is closed, the unfolding edge 15 side of the cover surface 18 can be accommodated inside the vehicle 1 more reliably. In addition, since the ends 21A and 22A of the string-like members 21 and 22 are attached in the vicinity of the position where the one end 16 and the other end 17 are connected, the tension F applied between the one end 16 and the other end 17 when the rear gate 4 is fully opened. (See FIG. 3), the bending of the tarp body 12 due to the pulling of the string members 21 and 22 can be suppressed. In addition, when the rear gate 4 is fully opened, one end 21A of the string-like member 21 attached to the opening 3 is located on the central side of the unfolding edge 15, so that when the rear gate 4 is closed, the cover surface 18 is positioned on the unfolding edge 15 side. The central side of the tarp body 12 is lifted by the pulling force of the string member 21 to prevent the tarp body 12 from being caught between the opening 3 and the rear gate 4.例文帳に追加

Further, since the winding members 25, 25 are attached to the opening 3 side of the vehicle 1 and the rear gate 4, they do not interfere with the tarp body 12 and the load of the winding member 25 is not applied to the tarp body 12.例文帳に追加Further, by setting the attachment of the string members 21 and 22 so that the angle θ2 is 90 degrees or less at the closed position of the rear gate 4, the string member 22 expands the unfolded edge at the closed position of the rear gate 4. It can be accommodated in the vehicle 1 in a state in which the unfolding edge portion 15 side is lifted by the string-like members 21 and 22 without applying a force to pull down the portion 15 side.
