Description
本発明は遮蔽部材に関する。 The present invention relates to a shielding member.
車両に設けられている荷室の上方には、通常、パーセルシェルフやトノカバーと呼ばれる遮蔽部材が設けられている。特許文献１（特許第6080001号公報）には、凹部を有するトレイ状であって、載置された物品を支持することができる剛性を有するパーセルシェルフが開示されている。 A barrier known as a parcel shelf or tonneau cover is typically provided above the luggage compartment of a vehicle. Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent No. 6080001) discloses a tray-shaped parcel shelf with a recessed portion that is rigid enough to support items placed on it.
特許文献２（特許第6193560号公報）には、荷室の上部を遮蔽するシートと、ループ状に一体化された屈曲変形可能なワイヤと、ワイヤを収容する袋状の縁取り部材と、を有し、シートが縁取り部材に縫い付けられた構成のトノカバーが開示されている。 Patent document 2 (Patent Publication No. 6193560) discloses a tonneau cover that has a sheet that shields the upper part of the luggage compartment, a bendable wire integrated into a loop shape, and a bag-shaped edging member that houses the wire, with the sheet sewn to the edging member.
特許文献３（実開昭53-121626号公報）には、車両の後部に設けられた荷室を上下に分割する上下分割棚が開示されている。上下分割棚は、フレーム状の上下分割棚用強度部材の上に古紙成型品などの基材が配置され、基材の表面にカーペットやレザー等の表皮材が貼り付けられた構成である。 Patent Document 3 (Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 53-121626) discloses an upper and lower partition shelf that divides a luggage compartment located in the rear of a vehicle into upper and lower compartments. The upper and lower partition shelf is configured by placing a base material such as a recycled paper molded product on a frame-shaped upper and lower partition shelf strength member, and attaching a covering material such as carpet or leather to the surface of the base material.
特許文献４（実開昭58-167257号公報）には、ロール状に巻回可能な可撓性トノカバーが開示されている。可撓性トノカバーは、車両の幅方向に延びる複数の長尺支持部材と、長尺支持部材をくるむように配置された１対のシートと、を有している。 Patent Document 4 (Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-167257) discloses a flexible tonneau cover that can be rolled up. The flexible tonneau cover has multiple long support members extending in the width direction of the vehicle and a pair of sheets arranged to wrap around the long support members.
特許文献５（実開昭60-68845号公報）には、車両のリアシートのシートバックの背後に配置されるリアシェルフが開示されている。このリアシェルフは、ゴムまたはゴム類似品からなる多数（例えば９本）のベルトの両端がそれぞれ支持体に固定された構成である。多数のベルトは、互いに隙間なく設けられ、ある程度の張力を与えられている。 Patent Document 5 (Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open Publication No. 60-68845) discloses a rear shelf that is placed behind the seat back of a vehicle's rear seat. This rear shelf is configured with multiple (e.g., nine) belts made of rubber or a rubber-like material, each with both ends fixed to a support. The multiple belts are arranged with no gaps between them and are under a certain amount of tension.
特許文献１に記載されたパーセルシェルフは、高い剛性を有する板状の部材であり、重量が大きく高コストである。特に、大型の車両に用いられる場合には、パーセルシェルフもさらに大型になって重量がより大きくなり、車両部品の軽量化に逆行するとともに、パーセルシェルフ自体の取り扱いが煩雑になる。また、荷室内に高さが高い物品を配置した場合、その上方に特許文献１のパーセルシェルフを配置すると、荷室内の物品がパーセルシェルフの下面の一部に当接してそれを押し上げ、パーセルシェルフは水平に保持されず斜めになる。その場合、パーセルシェルフは十分な剛性を有しているにもかかわらず、その上に物品を載置することが困難になる。 The parcel shelf described in Patent Document 1 is a highly rigid, plate-shaped member that is heavy and expensive. In particular, when used in large vehicles, the parcel shelf becomes even larger and heavier, which goes against efforts to reduce the weight of vehicle parts and makes the parcel shelf itself difficult to handle. Furthermore, if a tall item is placed in the trunk and the parcel shelf described in Patent Document 1 is placed above it, the item in the trunk will abut against part of the underside of the parcel shelf, pushing it up, causing the parcel shelf to become tilted rather than held horizontally. In this case, despite the parcel shelf's sufficient rigidity, it becomes difficult to place items on it.
特許文献２に記載されたトノカバーは軽くて折り畳みやすいが、シートおよびワイヤが変形しやすいため、トノカバーの上に物品を載置して支持することができない可能性がある。 The tonneau cover described in Patent Document 2 is lightweight and easy to fold, but the sheet and wires are easily deformed, making it impossible to support items placed on the tonneau cover.
特許文献３に記載された上下分割棚は、フレーム状の上下分割棚用強度部材を、取付ブラケットを介して、荷室の内壁に取り付けられた側壁パイプに取り付けることによって、車両に取り付けられる。このように上下分割棚用強度部材を、取付ブラケットを介して側壁パイプに取り付けるための構成が複雑で取り付け作業が繁雑である。The upper and lower divided shelves described in Patent Document 3 are attached to a vehicle by attaching a frame-shaped upper and lower divided shelf strength member via a mounting bracket to a sidewall pipe attached to the inner wall of the luggage compartment. The structure for attaching the upper and lower divided shelf strength member to the sidewall pipe via the mounting bracket is complex, making the installation process tedious.
特許文献４に記載された可撓性トノカバーは、荷物積載棚として使用される場合には、展開した状態で車体リヤサイド部材の棚部に取り付けられ、不使用の場合には、棚部から取り外されてロール状に巻回される。可撓性トノカバーは棚部から容易に着脱でき、棚部から取り外した状態で巻回できる構成であって、剛性に乏しいため、棚部に取り付けた状態でも、可撓性トノカバーの上に物品を載置して支持することが困難な場合があると考えられる。 The flexible tonneau cover described in Patent Document 4 is attached in an unfolded state to a shelf portion of a rear side member of the vehicle body when used as a luggage storage shelf, and is removed from the shelf portion and rolled up when not in use. The flexible tonneau cover is designed to be easily attached and detached from the shelf portion and can be rolled up when removed from the shelf portion. However, due to its poor rigidity, it may be difficult to place and support items on the flexible tonneau cover even when attached to the shelf portion.
特許文献５に記載されたリアシェルフは、ゴムまたはゴム類似品からなる多数のベルトを押し拡げて、下方のトランクルーム内の荷物を容易に取り出すことができる。しかし、互いに隙間なく設けられているが互いに固定されてはおらず、容易に変形可能なゴムまたはゴム類似品からなる可撓性の多数のベルトの上に、重い物品を載置して支持することは困難である。また、可撓性の多数のベルトの全てを支持体に固定する作業が煩雑である。 The rear shelf described in Patent Document 5 allows for easy access to luggage in the trunk below by spreading out multiple belts made of rubber or rubber-like materials. However, the multiple flexible belts are tightly spaced but not fixed to each other, making it difficult to support heavy items on the easily deformable rubber or rubber-like materials. Furthermore, the task of fastening all of the multiple flexible belts to the support is cumbersome.
そこで、本発明の目的は、構成が簡単で車両への取り付けが容易であって、軽量であり、載置された物品を支持することができる遮蔽部材を提供することにある。 Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a shielding member that is simple in structure, easy to attach to a vehicle, lightweight, and capable of supporting items placed on it.
本発明は、車両に設けられている荷室の遮蔽部材であって、前記荷室の開口部の少なくとも一部を上方から遮蔽可能な遮蔽ユニットを有し、前記遮蔽ユニットは、第１の方向に互いに間隔をおいて配置されて前記第１の方向に直交する第２の方向にそれぞれ延びる金属製の１対の補強材と、１対の前記補強材の前記第２の方向の両方の端部をそれぞれ保持する樹脂製の１対の保持部材と、１対の前記補強材と１対の前記保持部材とで囲まれた空間を覆うシート状部材と、を有し、１対の前記補強材と１対の前記保持部材とで囲まれた前記空間は、前記第１の方向において一方の前記補強材から他方の前記補強材まで連続的に広がるとともに、前記第２の方向において一方の前記保持部材から他方の前記保持部材まで連続的に広がっており、かつ、前記シート状部材で覆われている部分以外は開放されていることを特徴とする。 The present invention provides a luggage compartment shielding member provided in a vehicle, comprising a shielding unit capable of shielding at least a portion of an opening of the luggage compartment from above, the shielding unit comprising a pair of metal reinforcing members arranged at a distance from each other in a first direction and each extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, a pair of resin retaining members each retaining both ends of the pair of reinforcing members in the second direction, and a sheet-like member covering a space enclosed by the pair of reinforcing members and the pair of retaining members, the space enclosed by the pair of reinforcing members and the pair of retaining members extending continuously from one reinforcing member to the other reinforcing member in the first direction, and extending continuously from one retaining member to the other retaining member in the second direction, and being open except for the portion covered by the sheet-like member .
本発明によると、構成が簡単で車両への取り付けが容易であって、軽量であり、載置された物品を支持することができる遮蔽部材を提供することができる。 The present invention provides a shielding member that is simple in construction, easy to attach to a vehicle, lightweight, and capable of supporting items placed on it.
以下、本発明の実施形態について、図面を参照しながら説明する。
［第１の実施形態］
図１は、本発明の遮蔽部材を備えた車両１の一部を模式的に示す側面図である。車両１は、座席２の後方（進行方向の後方（リア側））に荷室３を有している。荷室３は、上方および後方に向かって開放されている。便宜上、荷室３の上方に向かって開放されている部分を上方への開口部と称し、後方に向かって開放されている部分を後方への開口部と称する。荷室３の上方への開口部および後方への開口部を塞ぐように、車両１の最後部に、開閉可能なバックドア４が設けられている。バックドア４が閉じている状態を実線で、開いている状態を２点鎖線でそれぞれ図示している。
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[First embodiment]
1 is a side view that schematically shows a portion of a vehicle 1 equipped with a shielding member of the present invention. The vehicle 1 has a luggage compartment 3 behind seats 2 (rearward (rear side) in the direction of travel). The luggage compartment 3 is open upward and rearward. For convenience, the portion of the luggage compartment 3 that is open upward will be referred to as the upward opening, and the portion that is open rearward will be referred to as the rearward opening. An openable back door 4 is provided at the rearmost portion of the vehicle 1 so as to close the upward opening and the rearward opening of the luggage compartment 3. The closed state of the back door 4 is shown by a solid line, and the open state is shown by a two-dot chain line.
荷室３には、上方への開口部を覆う遮蔽部材５が配置されている。図２Ａは本発明の第１の実施形態の遮蔽部材５を示す斜視図、図２Ｂはその遮蔽部材５の分解斜視図、図２Ｃはその遮蔽部材５の保持部材７を省略した中央部断面図である。図２Ｄは、シート状部材８の巻き付け状態が異なる遮蔽部材５の保持部材７を省略した中央部断面図である。A shielding member 5 is placed in the luggage compartment 3 to cover the opening at the top. Figure 2A is a perspective view showing the shielding member 5 of the first embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2B is an exploded perspective view of the shielding member 5, and Figure 2C is a cross-sectional view of the center of the shielding member 5, omitting the holding member 7. Figure 2D is a cross-sectional view of the center of a shielding member 5 with the holding member 7 omitted, in which the sheet-like member 8 is wrapped in a different manner.
遮蔽部材５は、荷室３の開口部の少なくとも一部を上方から遮蔽可能な遮蔽ユニットであり、主に３種類の部材、すなわち１対の補強材６と、１対の保持部材７と、シート状部材８と、を有する。補強材６は、車両１の前後方向（第１の方向）Ｄ１に互いに間隔をおいて配置されて、前後方向Ｄ１に直交する幅方向（第２の方向）Ｄ２にそれぞれ延びる金属（例えば鉄やアルミニウムなど）製の細長い部材である。１対の保持部材７は、幅方向Ｄ２に間隔をおいて互いに対向している。一方の保持部材７は、補強材６の幅方向Ｄ２における一端部を保持する樹脂成形品であり、他方の保持部材７は、１対の補強材６の幅方向Ｄ２における他端部を保持する樹脂成形品である。シート状部材８は、１対の補強材６と１対の保持部材７とで囲まれた空間を覆っている。このシート状部材８と１対の補強材６と１対の保持部材７とが互いに固定されて、遮蔽部材５が構成されている。この遮蔽部材５は、荷室３の側壁に設けられた係合部９（図１参照）の上に保持部材７が載せられることによって、荷室３の開口部を覆った状態で保持される。保持部材７の、係合部９の上面に当接する部分が、この遮蔽部材５の取付部である。補強材６は、断面がＵ字状の部材に限られず、他の形状（例えば円柱状または角柱状）の部材であってもよい。補強材６の内部に様々な部材を配置してもよい。The shielding member 5 is a shielding unit capable of shielding at least a portion of the opening of the luggage compartment 3 from above, and primarily comprises three types of components: a pair of reinforcing members 6, a pair of retaining members 7, and a sheet-like member 8. The reinforcing members 6 are elongated members made of metal (e.g., iron or aluminum) that are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction (first direction) D1 of the vehicle 1 and extend in a width direction (second direction) D2 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction D1. The pair of retaining members 7 face each other at a distance in the width direction D2. One retaining member 7 is a resin molded product that holds one end of the reinforcing member 6 in the width direction D2, and the other retaining member 7 is a resin molded product that holds the other end of the pair of reinforcing members 6 in the width direction D2. The sheet-like member 8 covers the space enclosed by the pair of reinforcing members 6 and the pair of retaining members 7. The sheet-like member 8, a pair of reinforcing members 6, and a pair of holding members 7 are fixed together to form the shielding member 5. The shielding member 5 is held in place covering the opening of the luggage compartment 3 by placing the holding members 7 on engaging portions 9 (see FIG. 1 ) provided on the side walls of the luggage compartment 3. The portions of the holding members 7 that abut against the upper surfaces of the engaging portions 9 are the mounting portions for the shielding member 5. The reinforcing members 6 are not limited to members with a U-shaped cross section, and may be members of other shapes (for example, cylindrical or prismatic). Various members may be disposed inside the reinforcing members 6.
図２Ｃに示されている構成では、シート状部材８は補強材６の外周面の２つの面（上面と一側面）に接するように配置されて固定されている。ただし、図２Ｄに示されている構成のように、シート状部材８が補強材６の外周面の３つの面（上面と一側面と下面）に巻き付くように配置されて固定された構成であってもよい。その場合、補強材６に棒状の芯部材１０を取り付けて、シート状部材８の端部を芯部材１０に固定することにより、シート状部材８を補強材６に安定的に固定することができる。 In the configuration shown in Figure 2C, the sheet-like member 8 is positioned and fixed so as to contact two surfaces (top surface and one side surface) of the outer periphery of the reinforcing material 6. However, as shown in Figure 2D, the sheet-like member 8 may be positioned and fixed so as to wrap around three surfaces (top surface, one side surface, and bottom surface) of the outer periphery of the reinforcing material 6. In this case, the sheet-like member 8 can be stably fixed to the reinforcing material 6 by attaching a rod-shaped core member 10 to the reinforcing material 6 and fixing the ends of the sheet-like member 8 to the core member 10.
本実施形態の遮蔽部材５のシート状部材８と補強材６と保持部材７とはタッピングによって互いに固定されてもよい。図３Ａは、シート状部材８と補強材６と保持部材７の固定方法の一例を説明するための斜視図であり、図３Ｂは、その遮蔽部材５の要部の一部断面斜視図である。シート状部材８の前後方向Ｄ１の端部を、補強材６の一部と接するように配置し、シート状部材８に設けられた貫通孔８ａと補強材６に設けられた貫通孔６ａとを重ね合わせた状態で、シート状部材８および補強材６の貫通孔を貫通したねじ１６を保持部材７にねじ込むことによって、各部材６，７，８を互いに固定することができる。この場合、遮蔽部材５の裏面側（下面側）から、シート状部材８および補強材６が保持部材７にねじ止めされる。In this embodiment, the sheet-like member 8, reinforcing member 6, and holding member 7 of the shielding member 5 may be secured to one another by tapping. FIG. 3A is a perspective view illustrating an example of a method for securing the sheet-like member 8, reinforcing member 6, and holding member 7, and FIG. 3B is a partially cross-sectional perspective view of a key portion of the shielding member 5. The end of the sheet-like member 8 in the front-to-rear direction D1 is positioned so that it contacts a portion of the reinforcing member 6. The through-holes 8a in the sheet-like member 8 and the through-holes 6a in the reinforcing member 6 are aligned. Then, screws 16 passing through the through-holes in the sheet-like member 8 and reinforcing member 6 are threaded into the holding member 7 to secure the respective members 6, 7, and 8 to one another. In this case, the sheet-like member 8 and reinforcing member 6 are screwed to the holding member 7 from the rear (underside) side of the shielding member 5.
また、図３Ｃは、シート状部材８と補強材６と保持部材７の他の固定方法を説明するための斜視図であり、図３Ｄはその補強材８の側面図である。遮蔽部材５の側面側から挿入したねじ１６またはピン（図示せず）によって補強材６を保持部材７に取り付けることもできる。この場合、補強材６に、例えばＵ字状のねじ止め用係合部６ｂが設けられる。そして、シート状部材８は、図３Ａ，３Ｂに示す構成と同様に遮蔽部材５の裏面側（下面側）から挿入されたねじ１６によって保持部材７にねじ止めされてもよい。なお、図３Ａ，３Ｃには１つの補強材６のみを示し、他の補強材６は図示省略している。 Figure 3C is a perspective view illustrating another method of fixing the sheet-like member 8, reinforcing member 6, and holding member 7, and Figure 3D is a side view of the reinforcing member 8. The reinforcing member 6 can also be attached to the holding member 7 with a screw 16 or pin (not shown) inserted from the side of the shielding member 5. In this case, a U-shaped screw engagement portion 6b, for example, is provided on the reinforcing member 6. The sheet-like member 8 can then be screwed to the holding member 7 with a screw 16 inserted from the back side (underside) of the shielding member 5, similar to the configuration shown in Figures 3A and 3B. Note that Figures 3A and 3C show only one reinforcing member 6; the other reinforcing members 6 are not shown.
本実施形態の遮蔽部材５では、剛性が高い金属製の補強材６によってシート状部材８を保持している。シート状部材８は可撓性を有する薄い部材であるが、実質的には主に補強材６が物品の荷重を支持するため、物品を載置して支持することが可能である。本実施形態の遮蔽部材５は、例えば特許文献１のパーセルシェルフと同様に物品を置いて支持することが可能であるが、特許文献１のパーセルシェルフにおいて重量およびコストが最も大きい板状の基材が存在しないため、コストの低減と軽量化が図れる。一例としては、特許文献１と同様な構成においては、板状の基材が３０００ｇ／ｍ2程度であって基材の表面に貼られる表皮材が１５０ｇ／ｍ2で、合計重量が３１５０ｇ／ｍ2程度であったのに対し、本実施形態では、シート状部材８と補強材６との合計重量が１１００ｇ／ｍ2程度であった。このように本実施形態の遮蔽部材５は軽量であるため、小型の３ドア車両において用いられるだけでなく、通常は巻回可能なトノカバーが用いられるような大型の車両において巻回可能なトノカバーの代わりに用いることもできる。 In the shielding member 5 of this embodiment, the sheet-like member 8 is held by a highly rigid metal reinforcing member 6. Although the sheet-like member 8 is a thin, flexible member, the reinforcing member 6 essentially supports the weight of the item, allowing the item to be placed on and supported. The shielding member 5 of this embodiment allows the item to be placed on and supported, similar to the parcel shelf of Patent Document 1, for example. However, since the parcel shelf of Patent Document 1 does not have a plate-like base material, which is the heaviest and most expensive component, the shielding member 5 of this embodiment achieves reduced cost and weight. For example, in a configuration similar to Patent Document 1, the plate-like base material weighs approximately 3,000 g/ m² and the covering material attached to the surface of the base material weighs 150 g/ m² , for a total weight of approximately 3,150 g/ m² . In contrast, in this embodiment, the total weight of the sheet-like member 8 and the reinforcing member 6 is approximately 1,100 g/ m² . Because the shielding member 5 of this embodiment is lightweight, it can be used not only in small three-door vehicles, but also in place of a rollable tonneau cover in larger vehicles where a rollable tonneau cover is normally used.
また、本実施形態の遮蔽部材５は、剛性や耐熱変形のために凹凸部を有する複雑な形状の基材を含んでいない。仮に凹凸部を有する複雑な形状の基材の表面に表皮材を設ける場合には、複雑な形状の基材の表面に密着させるために、表皮材の材料や形成方法に制限がある。例えばニードルパンチ不織布を基材の表面に密着するように成形することによって、表皮材が設けられる。しかし、本実施形態の遮蔽部材５では、シート状部材８を密着させるべき基材はなく、シート状部材８の材料や形成方法に制限はほとんどない。例えばレザーやジャージやニットなどからなるシート状部材８を用いることもでき、デザインの自由度が広がり、意匠性を高めることができる。シート状部材８は、張力がかけられてピンと張った平坦な状態で保持されてもよいが、ある程度弛んだ状態で保持されてもよい。 Furthermore, the shielding member 5 of this embodiment does not include a substrate with a complex shape having uneven portions for the sake of rigidity and heat deformation resistance. If a skin material were to be applied to the surface of a substrate with a complex shape having uneven portions, there would be limitations on the material and method of forming the skin material in order to ensure close contact with the surface of the substrate. For example, a skin material is applied by molding a needle-punched nonwoven fabric so that it adheres closely to the surface of the substrate. However, the shielding member 5 of this embodiment does not have a substrate to which the sheet-like member 8 must be closely attached, and there are almost no limitations on the material and method of forming the sheet-like member 8. For example, a sheet-like member 8 made of leather, jersey, knit, etc. could be used, which increases the degree of design freedom and enhances the aesthetic appeal. The sheet-like member 8 may be held in a taut, flat state under tension, or it may be held in a somewhat loose state.
シート状部材８は、例えばねじ１６を外すことによって補強材６および保持部材７から取り外して、材料や意匠が異なる別のシート状部材８と交換することが容易に可能である。すなわち、従来のパーセルシェルフや巻回型のトノカバーのように遮蔽部材全体を交換しなくても、シート状部材８のみを容易に交換してデザインを変更することが容易にできる。例えば、車室から荷室３の内部が見えないようにする布状のシート状部材８と、粗い網状のシート状部材８とを使い分けることができる。ただし、粗い網状のシート状部材８も物品を載置できる程度の強度を有することが好ましい。 The sheet-like member 8 can be easily removed from the reinforcing member 6 and the retaining member 7, for example, by removing the screws 16, and replaced with another sheet-like member 8 made of a different material or design. In other words, the design can be easily changed by simply replacing the sheet-like member 8, without having to replace the entire shielding member as with conventional parcel shelves or wrap-around tonneau covers. For example, it is possible to use a cloth-like sheet-like member 8 that prevents the interior of the luggage compartment 3 from being seen from the passenger compartment, or a coarse mesh-like sheet-like member 8. However, it is preferable that the coarse mesh-like sheet-like member 8 also be strong enough to allow items to be placed on it.
図４Ａ～４Ｂには、本実施形態の遮蔽部材の変形例が示されている。この変形例の遮蔽部材１１の保持部材１２は、図４Ａに示すように、車両１の前後方向（第１の方向）Ｄ１の中間位置に、幅方向（第２の方向）Ｄ２に延びる薄肉部１２ａが設けられている。遮蔽部材１１は、保持部材１２の薄肉部１２ａを中心として回転可能であり、その回転運動により図４Ｂに示すように折り畳み可能である。このように折り畳んだ状態で、１対の補強材６の間のシート状部材８は垂れ下がってもよい。 Figures 4A and 4B show a modified example of the shielding member of this embodiment. As shown in Figure 4A, the holding member 12 of the shielding member 11 of this modified example has a thin-walled portion 12a extending in the width direction (second direction) D2 at a midpoint in the fore-and-aft direction (first direction) D1 of the vehicle 1. The shielding member 11 is rotatable around the thin-walled portion 12a of the holding member 12, and this rotational movement allows it to be folded as shown in Figure 4B. In this folded state, the sheet-like member 8 between the pair of reinforcing members 6 may hang down.
この構成によると、遮蔽部材１１によって荷室３の開口部の全体を覆う状態のみならず、折り畳んだ遮蔽部材１１によって荷室３の開口部の一部のみを覆う状態にすることもできる。折り畳んだ遮蔽部材１１によって荷室３の開口部の前部のみを覆って後部を開放させると、車両１の後方から荷室３に対して物品を出し入れしやすい状態にすることができる。また、折り畳んだ遮蔽部材１１によって荷室３の開口部の後部のみを覆って前部を開放させると、荷室３の前方、すなわち車室の座席２（図１参照）側から荷室３に対して物品を出し入れしやすい状態にすることができる。しかも、遮蔽部材１１を荷室３の開口部の上方から完全に取り外す場合のように取り外した遮蔽部材１１の保管場所を必要とすることはなく、遮蔽部材１１を荷室３の開口部の上方に保持しておけるため、余分なスペースは不要である。本実施形態の遮蔽部材１１によると、このような２つの状態を選択的に容易にとることができる。遮蔽部材１１の非使用時に折り畳んでおくことにより、コンパクトな状態で保持することができる。 With this configuration, the shielding member 11 can cover not only the entire opening of the trunk 3, but also a portion of the opening of the trunk 3 with the folded shielding member 11. Covering only the front portion of the opening of the trunk 3 with the folded shielding member 11 and leaving the rear open allows for easy loading and unloading of items into and from the trunk 3 from the rear of the vehicle 1. Covering only the rear portion of the opening of the trunk 3 with the folded shielding member 11 and leaving the front open allows for easy loading and unloading of items into and from the trunk 3 from the front of the trunk 3, i.e., from the seat 2 (see Figure 1) side of the passenger compartment. Furthermore, unlike when the shielding member 11 is completely removed from above the opening of the trunk 3, a storage space for the removed shielding member 11 is not required. Since the shielding member 11 can be kept above the opening of the trunk 3, no extra space is required. The shielding member 11 of this embodiment allows for easy selective placement of these two states. By folding the shielding member 11 when not in use, it can be kept in a compact state.

本発明の第２の実施形態の遮蔽部材について説明する。図５Ａは本発明の第２の実施形態の遮蔽部材１３の斜視図である。図５Ｂは遮蔽部材１３によって荷室３の開口部を覆っている状態を模式的に示す側面図である。図５Ｃは遮蔽部材１３の２つの遮蔽ユニット１４を示す側面図である。図５Ｄは遮蔽部材１３によって荷室３の上方への開口部の一部のみを覆っている状態を模式的に示す側面図である。図５Ｅは第２の実施形態の変形例の２つの遮蔽ユニット１７を示す側面図である。前述した本発明の第１の実施形態では、遮蔽部材５，１１が１つの遮蔽ユニットのみから構成されているが、第２の実施形態では、遮蔽部材１３が複数の遮蔽ユニット１４から構成されている。各遮蔽ユニット１４は、第１実施形態の遮蔽部材５と実質的に同じ構成であり、１対の補強材６と、１対の保持部材７と、シート状部材８と、を有する。複数の遮蔽ユニット１４は、図５Ａ，５Ｂに示すように、車両１の前後方向（第１の方向）Ｄ１に並んで位置して、荷室３の開口部を遮蔽可能である。そして、前後方向Ｄ１に並んで位置する複数の遮蔽ユニット１４の保持部材７は、隣接する遮蔽ユニット１４の保持部材７と連結されている。具体的には、図５Ｃに示すように、隣接する遮蔽ユニット１４の保持部材７同士の連結部分には、それらを互いに接続するヒンジ機構１５が設けられている。そして、このヒンジ機構１５によって、隣接する遮蔽ユニット１４の保持部材７同士は、車両１の幅方向（第２の方向）Ｄ２に延びる回転軸線１５ａを中心として回転可能である。ヒンジ機構１５による遮蔽ユニット１４の回転運動によって、図５Ｄに示すように少なくとも一部の遮蔽ユニット１４が斜め方向または上下方向に延びるように起立した状態や、複数の遮蔽ユニット１４が上下に重なり合った状態にすることができる。ヒンジ機構１５はばね部材を含むものであってもよい。ヒンジ機構１５は、車両１の上下方向において保持部材７の上部に位置していてもよく、下部に位置していてもよく、中間部に位置していてもよい。
Second Embodiment
A shielding member according to a second embodiment of the present invention will now be described. FIG. 5A is a perspective view of a shielding member 13 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5B is a side view schematically illustrating a state in which the shielding member 13 covers the opening of the luggage compartment 3. FIG. 5C is a side view showing two shielding units 14 of the shielding member 13. FIG. 5D is a side view schematically illustrating a state in which the shielding member 13 covers only a portion of the upward opening of the luggage compartment 3. FIG. 5E is a side view showing two shielding units 17 according to a modified example of the second embodiment. In the first embodiment of the present invention described above, the shielding members 5 and 11 are each composed of only one shielding unit, but in the second embodiment, the shielding member 13 is composed of multiple shielding units 14. Each shielding unit 14 has substantially the same configuration as the shielding member 5 according to the first embodiment, and includes a pair of reinforcing members 6, a pair of holding members 7, and a sheet-like member 8. As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B , the multiple shielding units 14 are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction (first direction) D1 of the vehicle 1 to shield the opening of the luggage compartment 3. The holding members 7 of the multiple shielding units 14 arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction D1 are connected to the holding members 7 of adjacent shielding units 14. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5C , a hinge mechanism 15 is provided at the connecting portion between the holding members 7 of adjacent shielding units 14. The hinge mechanism 15 allows the holding members 7 of adjacent shielding units 14 to rotate about a rotation axis 15a extending in the width direction (second direction) D2 of the vehicle 1. The rotation of the shielding units 14 by the hinge mechanism 15 allows at least some of the shielding units 14 to be erected so as to extend diagonally or vertically, or multiple shielding units 14 to be stacked vertically, as shown in FIG. 5D . The hinge mechanism 15 may include a spring member. The hinge mechanism 15 may be located at the upper part, lower part, or middle part of the holding member 7 in the vertical direction of the vehicle 1.
本実施形態では、第１の実施形態の変形例と同様に、複数の遮蔽ユニット１４によって荷室３の開口部のほぼ全体を覆った状態と、一部の遮蔽ユニット１４によって荷室３の開口部の前部のみを覆って後部を開放させた状態と、一部の遮蔽ユニット１４によって荷室３の開口部の前部のみを覆って後部を開放させた状態とを、選択的に容易にとることができる。それにより、車両１の後方から荷室３に対して物品３１を出し入れしやすい状態にも、荷室３の前方（車室の座席２側）から荷室３に対して物品３１を出し入れしやすい状態にもできる。そして、遮蔽部材１３上に置かれる物品３１や、荷室３内に収容される物品３１の大きさ等に応じて、遮蔽ユニット１４によって開口部を遮蔽する位置を決めることができるため、様々な大きさの物品３１の載置や収容に適応可能である。また、図５Ａ～５Ｄに示すように遮蔽部材１３が３つ以上の遮蔽ユニット１４から構成されていると、非使用時の遮蔽部材１３を、第１の実施形態の変形例よりもさらにコンパクトにした状態で保持することができる。 In this embodiment, as with the modified example of the first embodiment, it is possible to easily select between a state in which almost the entire opening of the luggage compartment 3 is covered by multiple shielding units 14, a state in which only the front portion of the opening of the luggage compartment 3 is covered by some of the shielding units 14, leaving the rear portion open, and a state in which only the front portion of the opening of the luggage compartment 3 is covered by some of the shielding units 14, leaving the rear portion open. This makes it easy to load and unload items 31 into and out of the luggage compartment 3 from the rear of the vehicle 1, and also from the front of the luggage compartment 3 (the seat 2 side of the passenger compartment). Furthermore, the position at which the shielding units 14 shield the opening can be determined depending on the size of the items 31 placed on the shielding members 13 and the items 31 stored in the luggage compartment 3, making it adaptable to loading and storing items 31 of various sizes. Furthermore, when the shielding member 13 is composed of three or more shielding units 14 as shown in Figures 5A to 5D, the shielding member 13 can be held in an even more compact state when not in use than in the modified example of the first embodiment.
図示しないが、車両１の前後方向Ｄ１において最も前方に位置する遮蔽ユニット１４が、荷室３に隣接する座席２（リアシート）の背面に直接または間接的に係合していてもよい。その場合、遮蔽ユニット１４は、座席２の傾斜（リクライニング）動作に追従して移動する。従って、座席２の傾斜（リクライニング）動作によって、荷室３に対する物品３１の出し入れが困難になることはなく、物品３１を容易に出し入れできる状態を維持することができる。Although not shown, the shielding unit 14 located furthest forward in the longitudinal direction D1 of the vehicle 1 may directly or indirectly engage with the back of the seat 2 (rear seat) adjacent to the luggage compartment 3. In this case, the shielding unit 14 moves in accordance with the tilting (reclining) movement of the seat 2. Therefore, the tilting (reclining) movement of the seat 2 does not make it difficult to load or remove items 31 from the luggage compartment 3, and the luggage compartment 3 can remain in a state where items 31 can be easily loaded or removed.
図５Ｅは本発明の第２の実施形態の遮蔽部材の変形例の２つの遮蔽ユニット１７を示す側面図である。本変形例では、隣接する遮蔽ユニット１７の保持部材７同士の連結部分にヒンジ機構は設けられておらず、連結部分には、隣接する遮蔽ユニット１７の保持部材７と一体的に形成されて幅方向Ｄ２に延びる薄肉部１８を有している。すなわち、本変形例では、隣接する遮蔽ユニット１７の保持部材７同士の連結部分が、それらの保持部材７と一体的に形成された薄肉部１８からなる。本実施形態では、隣り合う遮蔽ユニット１７の、薄肉部１８を仮想的な回転軸線とした回転運動により、少なくとも一部の遮蔽ユニット１７が斜め方向または上下方向に延びるように起立した状態や、複数の遮蔽ユニット１７が上下に重なり合った状態にすることができる。それにより、本変形例でも、前述した効果が得られる。しかも、ヒンジ機構を必要としないため、容易かつ低コストで連結部分を構成することができる。薄肉部１８は、車両１の上下方向において保持部材７の上部に位置していてもよく、下部に位置していてもよく、中間部に位置していてもよい。
以上説明した事項以外の構成および作用効果は、第１の実施形態と実質的に同様であるため、説明を省略する。
FIG. 5E is a side view showing two shielding units 17 according to a modified example of the shielding member of the second embodiment of the present invention. In this modified example, a hinge mechanism is not provided at the connection portion between the holding members 7 of adjacent shielding units 17. Instead, the connection portion includes a thin-walled portion 18 formed integrally with the holding members 7 of the adjacent shielding units 17 and extending in the width direction D2. That is, in this modified example, the connection portion between the holding members 7 of adjacent shielding units 17 is formed by the thin-walled portion 18 formed integrally with those holding members 7. In this embodiment, rotation of adjacent shielding units 17 about the thin-walled portion 18 as a virtual axis of rotation can cause at least some of the shielding units 17 to stand upright and extend diagonally or vertically, or multiple shielding units 17 to overlap one another. This allows the aforementioned effects to be achieved with this modified example. Furthermore, because a hinge mechanism is not required, the connection portion can be constructed easily and at low cost. The thin portion 18 may be located at the upper portion, lower portion, or middle portion of the retaining member 7 in the vertical direction of the vehicle 1 .
The configuration and effects other than those described above are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment, and therefore description thereof will be omitted.
［第３の実施形態］
本発明の第３の実施形態の遮蔽部材について説明する。図６Ａは本発明の第３の実施形態の遮蔽部材１９によって荷室３の上方への開口部を覆っている状態を模式的に示す側面図である。図６Ｂ～６Ｄは遮蔽部材１９によって荷室３の上方への開口部の一部のみを覆っている状態を模式的に示す側面図である。本発明の第３の実施形態では、第２の実施形態と同様に遮蔽部材１９が複数の遮蔽ユニット２０から構成されている。各遮蔽ユニット２０は、第１実施形態の遮蔽部材５と実質的に同じ構成であり、１対の補強材６と、１対の保持部材７と、シート状部材８と、を有する。本実施形態では、隣接する遮蔽ユニット２０の保持部材７同士が連結されていない。すなわち、車両１の前後方向Ｄ１に並んで位置する複数の遮蔽ユニット２０はそれぞれ分離して配置されている。荷室３の側壁に、各遮蔽ユニット２０の保持部材７を載せるための複数の係合部９がそれぞれ設けられている。この構成によると、ヒンジ機構や薄肉部は不要であるため、低コスト化が図れる。本実施形態では、複数の遮蔽ユニット２０をそれぞれ独立して配置できるため、荷室３の開口部のどの部分を遮蔽してどの部分を開放させるかという点で非常に自由度が大きく、また、遮蔽する部分の大きさおよび開放する部分の大きさの設定の自由度も大きい。
[Third embodiment]
A shielding member according to a third embodiment of the present invention will now be described. FIG. 6A is a side view schematically illustrating a state in which the shielding member 19 according to the third embodiment of the present invention covers the upward opening of the luggage compartment 3. FIGS. 6B to 6D are side views schematically illustrating a state in which the shielding member 19 covers only a portion of the upward opening of the luggage compartment 3. In the third embodiment of the present invention, the shielding member 19 is composed of multiple shielding units 20, as in the second embodiment. Each shielding unit 20 has substantially the same configuration as the shielding member 5 according to the first embodiment, and includes a pair of reinforcing members 6, a pair of holding members 7, and a sheet-like member 8. In this embodiment, the holding members 7 of adjacent shielding units 20 are not connected to each other. That is, the multiple shielding units 20 aligned in the longitudinal direction D1 of the vehicle 1 are arranged separately from each other. A plurality of engaging portions 9 for mounting the holding members 7 of each shielding unit 20 are provided on the side walls of the luggage compartment 3. This configuration eliminates the need for hinge mechanisms or thin-walled portions, thereby reducing costs. In this embodiment, multiple shielding units 20 can be positioned independently of each other, which allows for a great deal of freedom in terms of which parts of the opening of the luggage compartment 3 to be shielded and which parts to be open, and also allows for a great deal of freedom in setting the size of the parts to be shielded and the size of the parts to be open.
図６Ａ～６Ｄに示す構成では、複数の遮蔽ユニット２０が上下方向において異なる高さに位置している。従って、複数の遮蔽ユニット２０を、互いに上下方向に重なり合い、かつ上下方向に間隔をおいて配置することができる。この場合、図６Ｂに示すように、荷室３内に高さが高い物品３１を配置することができるとともに、各遮蔽ユニット２０上にそれぞれ小さな物品３１を載置して支持することができ、様々な物品３１の収容能力が高い。特に、遮蔽ユニット２０のシート状部材８が、張力がかかってピンと張った状態ではなく、ある程度弛んだ状態であると、比較的大きな物品３１を遮蔽ユニット２０の上に載置することができる。シート状部材８が弛むことによって、１対の補強材６の間のスペースを物品３１の収容に利用することができる。これは、本発明では１対の補強材６の間に板状の基材等が存在せず、スペースが空いているからである。 In the configuration shown in Figures 6A to 6D, multiple shielding units 20 are located at different heights in the vertical direction. Therefore, multiple shielding units 20 can be arranged so that they overlap each other vertically and are spaced apart vertically. In this case, as shown in Figure 6B, tall items 31 can be placed in the luggage compartment 3, and small items 31 can be placed and supported on each shielding unit 20, resulting in a high capacity for storing a variety of items 31. In particular, if the sheet-like member 8 of the shielding unit 20 is not in a taut state under tension but is somewhat loose, relatively large items 31 can be placed on the shielding unit 20. By loosening the sheet-like member 8, the space between the pair of reinforcing members 6 can be used to store the items 31. This is because, in the present invention, there is no plate-shaped substrate or the like between the pair of reinforcing members 6, leaving space available.
少なくとも１つの遮蔽ユニット２０が、前後方向の一側部を中心として回転可能な構成であってもよい。図６Ｃに示すように、少なくとも１つの遮蔽ユニット２０を回転させて上下方向に延びるように起立した姿勢にすることによって、遮蔽ユニット２０を取り外すことなく、下方の遮蔽ユニット２０に対して物品３１を載置したり取り出したりすることができる。At least one shielding unit 20 may be configured to be rotatable around one side in the front-to-rear direction. As shown in Figure 6C, by rotating at least one shielding unit 20 to an upright position extending in the vertical direction, an item 31 can be placed on or removed from the lower shielding unit 20 without removing the shielding unit 20.
図６Ｄに示すように、複数の遮蔽ユニット２０のうちの一部を、上下方向に重なり合わず、平面的にずらした位置に配置することにより、より大きな物品３１を下方の遮蔽ユニット２０の上に載置して支持することができる。本実施形態では、複数の遮蔽ユニット２０が互いに連結されておらず、独立して配置できるため、遮蔽ユニット２０の上に載置する物品３１の大きさに合わせて遮蔽ユニット２０の平面的な位置をずらすことができる。 As shown in Figure 6D, by arranging some of the multiple shielding units 20 in positions that are offset in plan view and do not overlap in the vertical direction, a larger item 31 can be placed on top of the lower shielding unit 20 and supported. In this embodiment, the multiple shielding units 20 are not connected to each other and can be arranged independently, so the planar positions of the shielding units 20 can be shifted to match the size of the item 31 to be placed on the shielding units 20.
なお、本実施形態において、図６Ｅに示すように複数の遮蔽ユニット２０が上下方向において同じ高さに位置する構成にすることもできる。
以上説明した事項以外の構成および作用効果は、第２の実施形態と実質的に同様であるため、説明を省略する。
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6E, a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of shielding units 20 are positioned at the same height in the vertical direction.
The configuration and effects other than those described above are substantially the same as those of the second embodiment, and therefore description thereof will be omitted.
［第４の実施形態］
本発明の第４の実施形態の遮蔽部材について説明する。図７Ａは、本発明の第４の実施形態の遮蔽部材２１の、バックドア４が閉じた状態を示す側面図である。図７Ｂは、遮蔽部材２１の、バックドア４が開いた状態を示す側面図である。本実施形態では、第２～３の実施形態と同様に遮蔽部材２１が複数の遮蔽ユニット２２から構成されている。各遮蔽ユニット２２は、第１実施形態の遮蔽部材５と実質的に同じ構成であり、１対の補強材６と、１対の保持部材７と、シート状部材８と、を有する。本実施形態では、車両１の前後方向Ｄ１において最も後方に位置する遮蔽ユニット２２が、連結部材（例えば紐部材２３）によって車両１のバックドア４に連結されている。すなわち、紐部材２３の一端部が、最も後方に位置する遮蔽ユニット２２に固定され、他端部が開閉可能なバックドア４に固定されている。この構成によると、バックドア４の開閉に合わせて遮蔽ユニット２２が移動する。特に好ましくは、バックドア４が開くのと同時に、遮蔽ユニット２２の少なくとも一部が上方に移動して、荷室３の開口部の開放している範囲を大きくする。使用者がバックドア４を開くのは荷室３に対して物品の出し入れを行う場合が多いため、本実施形態においてバックドア４を開くと荷室３の開口部がより大きく開放されることにより、物品の出し入れのための作業が容易になる。なお、連結部材は紐部材２３に限られず、他の形態の連結部材を用いることもできる。
[Fourth embodiment]
A shielding member according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will now be described. FIG. 7A is a side view of the shielding member 21 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, showing the state in which the back door 4 is closed. FIG. 7B is a side view of the shielding member 21 showing the state in which the back door 4 is open. In this embodiment, as in the second and third embodiments, the shielding member 21 is composed of a plurality of shielding units 22. Each shielding unit 22 has substantially the same configuration as the shielding member 5 according to the first embodiment, and includes a pair of reinforcing members 6, a pair of holding members 7, and a sheet-like member 8. In this embodiment, the shielding unit 22 located at the rearmost position in the longitudinal direction D1 of the vehicle 1 is connected to the back door 4 of the vehicle 1 by a connecting member (e.g., a string member 23). That is, one end of the string member 23 is fixed to the rearmost shielding unit 22, and the other end is fixed to the openable/closable back door 4. With this configuration, the shielding units 22 move in accordance with the opening and closing of the back door 4. Particularly preferably, at the same time that the back door 4 is opened, at least a portion of the shielding unit 22 moves upward to increase the open area of the opening of the luggage compartment 3. Since a user often opens the back door 4 to put items in or take items out of the luggage compartment 3, in this embodiment, opening the back door 4 opens the opening of the luggage compartment 3 more widely, making it easier to put items in or take them out. Note that the connecting member is not limited to the string member 23, and connecting members of other types may also be used.
本実施形態において、車両１の前後方向Ｄ１において最も前方に位置する遮蔽ユニット２２が、荷室３に隣接する座席２（リアシート）の背面に直接または間接的に係合していることが好ましい。それにより、遮蔽ユニット２２は、座席２の傾斜（リクライニング）動作に追従して移動する。従って、座席２の傾斜（リクライニング）動作によって、荷室３に対する物品の出し入れが困難になることなく、容易に出し入れできる状態を維持することができる。In this embodiment, it is preferable that the shielding unit 22 located furthest forward in the longitudinal direction D1 of the vehicle 1 directly or indirectly engages with the back of the seat 2 (rear seat) adjacent to the luggage compartment 3. This allows the shielding unit 22 to move in accordance with the tilting (reclining) movement of the seat 2. Therefore, the tilting (reclining) movement of the seat 2 does not make it difficult to load or unload items into or from the luggage compartment 3, and the luggage compartment 3 can be maintained in a state where it can be easily loaded or unloaded.
本実施形態の複数の遮蔽ユニット２２は、第２の実施形態と同様に互いに連結されていることが好ましい。しかし、第３の実施形態と同様に複数の遮蔽ユニット２２が互いに連結されておらず、分離していてもよい。また、図示しないが、本実施形態において、遮蔽部材２１が単一の遮蔽ユニット２２のみからなる構成にすることもできる。なお、以上説明した事項以外の構成および作用効果は、第１～３の実施形態と実質的に同様であるため、説明を省略する。 In this embodiment, the multiple shielding units 22 are preferably connected to one another, as in the second embodiment. However, as in the third embodiment, the multiple shielding units 22 may be separate and not connected to one another. Also, although not shown, in this embodiment, the shielding member 21 may be configured to consist of only a single shielding unit 22. Note that the configuration and effects other than those described above are substantially the same as those of the first to third embodiments, and therefore will not be described here.
［第５の実施形態］
本発明の第５の実施形態の遮蔽部材について説明する。図８Ａは、本発明の第５の実施形態の遮蔽部材を示す側面図であり、図８Ｂは、第５の実施形態の遮蔽部材の変形例を示す側面図である。本実施形態の遮蔽ユニット２４は、第１実施形態の遮蔽部材５と実質的に同じ構成であり、１対の補強材６と、１対の保持部材７と、シート状部材８と、を有する。図８Ａに示す例では、車両１の上下方向においてシート状部材８に重なる状態と、上下方向においてシート状部材８に重ならず前後方向Ｄ１に並んで位置する状態とをとることができる巻取り可能な可撓性シート状のカバー部材２５が設けられている。遮蔽ユニット２４の１対の補強材６の間であってシート状部材８の下方の空間に、カバー部材２５を巻き取るための巻き取り機構２６が配置されている。可撓性シート状のカバー部材２５を、シート状部材８に重なる位置から引き出してシート状部材８と前後方向Ｄ１に並んで位置する状態にすると、カバー部材２５と遮蔽ユニット２４とが協働して荷室３の開口部を覆うことができる。荷室３の開口部の開放している範囲を広げる場合には、１対の補強材６の間であってシート状部材８の下方の空間に位置する巻き取り機構２６によってカバー部材２５を巻き取ることができる。ただし、カバー部材２５の非使用時に、図８Ａに２点鎖線で示すように、カバー部材２５を垂れ下がらせた状態に保持することもできる。
Fifth Embodiment
A shielding member according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described. Fig. 8A is a side view showing the shielding member according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 8B is a side view showing a modified example of the shielding member according to the fifth embodiment. The shielding unit 24 according to this embodiment has substantially the same configuration as the shielding member 5 according to the first embodiment, and includes a pair of reinforcing members 6, a pair of holding members 7, and a sheet-like member 8. In the example shown in Fig. 8A, a rollable flexible sheet-like cover member 25 is provided, which can be placed in a state overlapping the sheet-like member 8 in the vertical direction of the vehicle 1 and a state in which the cover member 25 does not overlap the sheet-like member 8 in the vertical direction but is positioned next to the sheet-like member 8 in the fore-aft direction D1. A winding mechanism 26 for winding the cover member 25 is disposed in the space below the sheet-like member 8 between the pair of reinforcing members 6 of the shielding unit 24. When flexible sheet-like cover member 25 is pulled out from the position overlapping sheet-like member 8 and positioned alongside sheet-like member 8 in the front-to-rear direction D1, cover member 25 and shielding unit 24 cooperate to cover the opening of luggage compartment 3. When the open area of the opening of luggage compartment 3 needs to be widened, cover member 25 can be wound up by winding mechanism 26 located between the pair of reinforcing members 6 and in the space below sheet-like member 8. However, when cover member 25 is not in use, cover member 25 can also be held hanging down as shown by the two-dot chain line in Fig. 8A .
図８Ｂに示す例では、車両１の上下方向においてシート状部材８に重なる状態と、上下方向においてシート状部材８に重ならず前後方向Ｄ１に並んで位置する状態とをとることができるスライド可能な板状部材２７が設けられている。板状部材２７は、図８Ｂに実線で示すように遮蔽ユニット２４の外側に突出した位置と、図８Ｂに２点鎖線で示すように遮蔽ユニット２４の内部に収容された位置との間でスライド可能である。板状部材２７をスライドさせて遮蔽ユニット２４の外側に引き出してシート状部材８と前後方向Ｄ１に並んで位置する状態にすると、板状部材２７と遮蔽ユニット２４とが協働して荷室３の開口部を覆うことができる。荷室３の開口部の開放している範囲を広げる場合には、板状部材２７をスライドさせて遮蔽ユニット２４の内部に押し込む。8B , a slidable plate-like member 27 is provided that can overlap the sheet-like member 8 in the vertical direction of the vehicle 1 and can be positioned alongside the sheet-like member 8 in the fore-and-aft direction D1 without overlapping the sheet-like member 8 in the vertical direction. The plate-like member 27 can slide between a position protruding outside the shielding unit 24 as shown by the solid line in FIG. 8B and a position housed inside the shielding unit 24 as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 8B . When the plate-like member 27 is slid outward from the shielding unit 24 and positioned alongside the sheet-like member 8 in the fore-and-aft direction D1, the plate-like member 27 and the shielding unit 24 work together to cover the opening of the luggage compartment 3. To widen the open area of the opening of the luggage compartment 3, the plate-like member 27 is slid and pushed into the shielding unit 24.
本実施形態によると、単一の遮蔽ユニット２４のみによって遮蔽部材が構成されている場合であっても、荷室３の開口部がカバー部材２５または板状部材２７によって覆われ得る面積の分だけ、遮蔽ユニット２４を小型化することができる。また、複数の遮蔽ユニット２４によって遮蔽部材が構成されている場合には、カバー部材２５または板状部材２７が遮蔽ユニット２４の代替部材として機能するため、遮蔽ユニット２４の数を減らすことができる。 According to this embodiment, even when the shielding member is made up of only a single shielding unit 24, the shielding unit 24 can be made smaller by the area of the opening of the luggage compartment 3 that can be covered by the cover member 25 or plate-shaped member 27. Furthermore, when the shielding member is made up of multiple shielding units 24, the cover member 25 or plate-shaped member 27 functions as a substitute for the shielding unit 24, allowing the number of shielding units 24 to be reduced.
［遮蔽部材の取付機構］
本発明の遮蔽部材の遮蔽ユニットを車両内壁に取り付ける構成について説明する。本発明の遮蔽ユニットは、保持部材７の一部が車両１の内壁の一部と係合することによって、車両１に取り付けられている。図１，６Ａ～６Ｅに示す例では、車両１の内壁に棚状の突出部９が設けられており、その突出部９の上に保持部材７が載置されて保持される。すなわち、この突出部９が係合部であって、保持部材７の、突出部９の上に載せられる部分（突出部に接する部分）が取付部である。ただし、遮蔽部材の遮蔽ユニットを車両内壁に取り付ける構成の他の例としては、図９Ａに示すように保持部材７に円柱状の突起２８が設けられ、図示しないが車両の内壁に、突起２８が嵌合する凹部が設けられた構成にすることもできる。この構成では、車両の内壁に設けられた凹部が係合部であって、保持部材７の円柱状の突起２８が取付部である。この場合、遮蔽ユニットが突起２８および凹部の係合部分を中心として回転可能な構成にすることができる。保持部材７の円柱状の突起２８と車両の内壁の凹部との嵌合によって、遮蔽ユニットが回転可能な構成であると、この嵌合部分が遮蔽ユニットの車両の内壁への取り付けと、図５Ａ～７Ｂに示すような遮蔽ユニットの回転運動とに寄与するため、効果的である。突起２８は、保持部材７の前後方向Ｄ１の端部付近に設けることが好ましい。
[Shielding member mounting mechanism]
A configuration for attaching a shielding unit of a shielding member of the present invention to an interior wall of a vehicle will now be described. The shielding unit of the present invention is attached to the vehicle 1 by engaging a portion of a holding member 7 with a portion of the interior wall of the vehicle 1. In the example shown in Figures 1 and 6A to 6E, a shelf-like protrusion 9 is provided on the interior wall of the vehicle 1, and the holding member 7 is placed and held on the protrusion 9. That is, the protrusion 9 is the engagement portion, and the portion of the holding member 7 that rests on the protrusion 9 (the portion that contacts the protrusion) is the attachment portion. However, as another example of a configuration for attaching a shielding unit of a shielding member to an interior wall of a vehicle, as shown in Figure 9A, a cylindrical protrusion 28 can be provided on the holding member 7, and a recess into which the protrusion 28 fits can be provided on the interior wall of the vehicle, although not shown. In this configuration, the recess provided on the interior wall of the vehicle is the engagement portion, and the cylindrical protrusion 28 of the holding member 7 is the attachment portion. In this case, the shielding unit can be configured to rotate around the engagement portion between the protrusion 28 and the recess. It is effective to configure the shielding unit to be rotatable by fitting the cylindrical protrusion 28 of the holding member 7 into a recess in the interior wall of the vehicle, because this fitting portion contributes to the attachment of the shielding unit to the interior wall of the vehicle and the rotational movement of the shielding unit as shown in Figures 5A to 7B. It is preferable to provide the protrusion 28 near the end of the holding member 7 in the fore-and-aft direction D1.
さらに、図９Ｂに示すように保持部材７に２つの円柱状の突起２８が設けられ、図示しないが車両の内壁に、突起２８がそれぞれ嵌合する２つの凹部が設けられた構成にすることもできる。この構成では、突起２８が凹部から脱出可能であることが好ましい。その場合、遮蔽ユニットは、２つの突起２８のどちらを中心とする回転運動も可能であるため、遮蔽ユニットを前方に向かって回転させることも、後方に向かって回転させることもできる。すなわち、荷室３に対して物品の出し入れを行う位置に応じて遮蔽ユニットの回転方向を任意に選択して、物品の出し入れ作業をより容易にすることができる。この構成では、２つの突起２８を保持部材７の前後方向Ｄ１の両端部付近にそれぞれ設けることが好ましい。なお、図９Ａ，９Ｂに示す構成では、保持部材７に突起２８が設けられ、車両１の内壁に凹部が設けられているが、車両１の内壁に突起が設けられ、保持部材７に、突起が嵌合する凹部が設けられた構成にすることもできる。 Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9B, two cylindrical protrusions 28 may be provided on the holding member 7, and two recesses (not shown) into which the protrusions 28 fit may be provided on the interior wall of the vehicle. In this configuration, it is preferable that the protrusions 28 be able to retract from the recesses. In this case, the shielding unit can rotate around either of the two protrusions 28, allowing the shielding unit to rotate forward or backward. In other words, the direction of rotation of the shielding unit can be selected as desired depending on the position from which items are to be placed in or removed from the luggage compartment 3, making the process of placing or removing items easier. In this configuration, it is preferable that two protrusions 28 be provided near both ends of the holding member 7 in the fore-and-aft direction D1. Note that while the configuration shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B features protrusions 28 on the holding member 7 and recesses on the interior wall of the vehicle 1, it is also possible to provide protrusions on the interior wall of the vehicle 1 and recesses on the holding member 7 into which the protrusions fit.
第３の実施形態のように遮蔽ユニットが前後方向にスライド可能な構成では、図９Ｃに示すように、遮蔽ユニットの保持部材７に、前後方向に直線的に延びる細長い取付部３０が設けられた構成にすることもできる。その場合、図９Ｄに示すように、車両１の内壁に、取付部３０が係合するレール（係合部）２９が設けられる。この構成によると、遮蔽ユニットの円滑なスライドが可能である。 In a configuration in which the shielding unit can slide in the fore-and-aft direction, as in the third embodiment, the shielding unit's holding member 7 can be provided with a slender mounting portion 30 that extends linearly in the fore-and-aft direction, as shown in Figure 9C. In that case, as shown in Figure 9D, a rail (engagement portion) 29 with which the mounting portion 30 engages is provided on the interior wall of the vehicle 1. This configuration allows the shielding unit to slide smoothly.
なお、以上説明した様々な係合部および取付部の構成は、前述した各実施形態において任意に採用することができる。さらに、これらの構成において、図示しないが、係合部と取付部の間に緩衝材を介在させて、騒音や振動の発生を防ぐことができる。緩衝材は、係合部または取付部に貼り付けられる不織布であってもよく、２色成形等によって係合部または取付部と一体的に形成される軟質樹脂であってもよい。 The various configurations of the engagement portion and attachment portion described above can be adopted as desired in each of the previously described embodiments. Furthermore, in these configurations, although not shown, a cushioning material can be interposed between the engagement portion and the attachment portion to prevent noise and vibration. The cushioning material may be a nonwoven fabric attached to the engagement portion or attachment portion, or it may be a soft resin formed integrally with the engagement portion or attachment portion by two-color molding or the like.
