It is possible to reliably prevent the vehicle from moving forward into the vehicle interior, thereby ensuring the safety of the occupants.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in this structure, both rear parcel side trims 5, 5 are individually assembled on the luggage floor 4. For this reason, in line work, there are tasks such as transporting both rear parcel side trims 5, 5 individually onto the luggage floor 4, and transporting both rear parcel side trims 5, 5 after transport.
5. Requires steps to adjust mutual height positions and front-to-back positions, making it impossible to perform quick assembly work. Furthermore, as described above, the floorboard 7 is installed above the dimension M, and is fixed to the hinge 8 to prevent displacement toward the front of the vehicle interior in the event of a rear-end collision. There is a problem in that a dead space having a height M is permanently created below, making it impossible to load cargo having a height greater than the distance H between the floorboard 7 and the back door 10.

The present invention has been made by focusing on such conventional problems, and enables quick work on line work without requiring adjustment of the height position and front/back position of both rear parcel side trims. To provide a floorboard device capable of loading large cargo by eliminating the existence of permanent dead space.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a channel member is fixed between the front ends of the rear parcel side trims arranged oppositely on both sides of the luggage floor. A board insertion groove that is continuous with the channel member and a board support step that extends to the rear of the insertion groove are formed in opposite sides of the side trim in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, and the board support step and the board A notch is formed in the side wall of the rear parcel side trim between the insertion grooves, and the front wall of the notch is formed into a slope whose lower part is inclined toward the front of the vehicle body, and both end portions are loosely inserted into the insertion groove. A front board is constructed and arranged, and a diagonal guide surface is formed on the rear end surface of the front board, the lower part of which is inclined toward the front of the vehicle body, and a rear board is constructed and arranged with both ends placed on the support steps. A slanted opposing surface along the slanted guide surface is formed on the front end surface of the rear board.

Function In the above configuration, since the channel member is fixedly installed between the front ends of both rear parcel side trims, by subassembling the channel member in advance, both rear parcel side trims become integrated. Match each other's height positions and front and rear positions. Therefore, in line work, both rear parcel side trims can be transported at the same time, and a mutual position adjustment process is not necessary, which shortens the process.

Also, when loading large luggage, by removing the rear board and pulling out the front board from the insertion groove, the luggage room that was formed below both boards becomes integrated with the cabin space above, and there is a permanent space inside the luggage room. Large cargo can be loaded without leaving any dead space. Furthermore, when a forward-facing load is applied to the rear parcel side trim or rear board due to a rear-end collision, the rear board will move its diagonal opposing surface into contact with the diagonal guide surface formed on the front board, whose lower part is slanted toward the front of the vehicle body. and is guided downward along the slanted guide surface to enter the luggage room. At this time, since the channel members are fixed to the front ends of both rear parcel side trims, the front ends of both rear parcel side trims are not displaced to the side of the vehicle body due to the forward-facing load F, and can be moved to the assembly position. localize to. Therefore, the front board is held within the board insertion groove and comes into contact with the channel member to be prevented from moving forward into the vehicle interior. Therefore, while the front board and the rear board are configured to be detachable as described above, displacement and intrusion of both boards toward the front of the vehicle interior in the event of a rear collision can be reliably prevented.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In other words, as shown in Figures 1 and 2,
A rear seat 3 consisting of a seat cushion 1 and a seat back 2 is fixed in the cabin of a hatchback type vehicle. A luggage floor 4 is formed behind the rear seat 3, and rear parcel side trims 5, 5 are arranged on both sides of the luggage floor 4. In the front part of the upper surface of the rear parcel side trim 5, there is a board insertion groove 11 that is open on the opposing sides and is located at a height that is substantially flush with the back surface 2a of the seat back when the seat back 2 is folded down. It is formed in the front-back direction. In addition, both rear parcel side trims 5,5
A channel member 1 having a U-shaped cross section is disposed between the front ends of the

A plurality of screw holes 14 are formed in the upper surface of the channel member 12, and the channel member 12 is fixed to the upper flange 11a of the board insertion groove 11 by screws 15 inserted into the screw holes 14 at both ends. As a result, the board insertion groove 11 and the groove 13 are in a continuous state. Behind the board insertion groove 11 is a board support stepped portion 16 extending at the same height position.
is formed. A notch 17 is formed in the side wall of the rear parcel side trim between the board support step 16 and the board insertion groove 11, and the front wall 17a of the notch 17 is inclined downward toward the front of the vehicle body. It is formed on a slope. Note that 18 in the figure
is a side box formed on the outside of the board support stepped portion 16, and the side box 18 is closed by a detachable side board 19.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, a front board 20 is removably installed between the rear parcel side trims 5, with both end walls 20a loosely inserted into the board insertion groove 11. A reinforcement 21 is embedded in the front board 20, and a recess 22 is formed in a portion located within the groove 13 to correspond to the screw hole 14. On the rear end surface of this front board 20,
As shown in FIG. 4, a diagonal guide surface 23 is formed with the lower part inclined toward the front of the vehicle body.
Behind the front board 20, as shown in FIG. A luggage room 25 is defined. The front end surface of this rear board 24 has the slanted guide surface 2.
3, and an opening 27 is formed at the center of the rear portion, as shown in FIG. A hook 2 is provided near the opening 27.
8 is pivotally supported, and the hook 28 engages with a lock hole 30 formed in a rear end panel 29, and an operating piece 28a is formed at the pivot end extending into the opening 27. The front board 2
A carpet 31 is laid on the rear board 24. The front end of the carpet 31 is connected to a retainer 3 attached to the back surface 2a of the seat back.
2, and is firmly fixed at the midway portion by a screw 33 inserted into the screw hole 14.

In this embodiment having the above configuration, the channel member 12 is sub-assembled to both rear parcel side trims 5, 5 in advance during line work. As a result, both rear parcel side trims 5, 5 are integrated with each other via the channel member 12, and their height positions and longitudinal positions match with each other with respect to the channel member 12. Therefore, in line work, both rear parcel side trims 5, 5 can be transported by a single worker at the same time, and there is no need for mutual positioning work of both rear parcel side trims 5, 5 on the line. Therefore, after placing the rear parcel side trims 5, 5 connected to the channel member 12 on the luggage floor 4, the operator places the brackets 34 (FIG. 1) formed on the rear parcel side trims 5, 5.
The assembly work of the rear parcel side trims 5, 5 can be completed only by inserting fixing bolts (not shown) into the rear parcel side trims 5, 5.

In the completed vehicle, both the front and rear boards 20 and 24 define a luggage room 25 as described above, and the spare tire 9 and the like are stored on the luggage floor 4. When taking out the spare tire 9, the rear end of the carpet 31 is removed from the rear board 24, and then the opening 27 is removed.

0 to the rear and pull it out from the board insertion groove 11. As a result, the dead space (Fig. 6) consisting of the height dimension M is integrated with the passenger compartment space formed above both boards 20 and 24, and the luggage room 25 is effectively utilized to allow loading of large items. It becomes possible.

Next, when a rear collision occurs with both the boards 20 and 24 disposed in the insertion groove 11 and the support step 16, the forward-facing load F (Fig. 2) is applied to the rear parcel side trim 5 and the rear board 24. , and the rear board 24 moves forward. On the other hand, since the front board 20 is prevented from moving forward by the channel member 12, the rear board 20
The slanted opposing surface 26 of No. 4 is pressed against the slanted guide surface 23 of the front board 20 . At this time, the front end portions of both rear parcel side trims 5, 5 are connected by a channel member 12. Therefore, the front ends of both rear parcel side trims 5, 5 are oriented at the assembly position without being displaced laterally even when the forward load F is input. For this reason, the front board 20
is reliably held within the board insertion groove 11, and also comes into contact with the channel member 12 and is prevented from being displaced toward the front of the vehicle interior. Therefore, the rear board 24 enters the luggage room 25 as shown in FIG. 8 while being guided by the oblique guide surface 23 of the front board 20 held in the board insertion groove 11. Therefore, as described above, while the front board 20 and the rear board 24 are configured to be detachable, both boards 20 and 2 can be easily attached or removed in the event of a rear collision.
4, it is possible to reliably prevent displacement and intrusion into the vehicle interior.

Effects of the Invention As explained above, the present invention fixes a channel member between the front ends of rear parcel side trim, forms a board insertion groove and a board support step in this rear parcel side trim, and forms a board support step in the rear parcel side trim. A notch is formed in the side wall of the rear parcel side trim between the step and the board insertion groove, and the front wall of the notch is formed into an inclined slope with the lower part facing the front of the vehicle body. A front board having a slanted guide surface was installed by loosely inserting the end thereof, and a rear board having a slanted opposing surface was installed by placing both end portions on the board support step. Therefore, both rear parcel side trims are integrated through the channel member and can be transported at the same time, and there is no need to align the two rear parcel side trims with each other during assembly, which shortens the line work. It becomes possible.

Also, due to the above configuration, both the front and rear boards are
Because they are removable, by removing both boards, the luggage room becomes integrated with the cabin space formed above, making it possible to load large items without leaving a permanent dead space in the luggage room. can.

Furthermore, when a forward-facing load is applied to the rear parcel side trim or rear board due to a rear-end collision,
The front end portion of the rear parcel side trim is prevented from being displaced to the side of the vehicle body by a channel member. Therefore, the front board is held in the board insertion groove and is prevented from moving forward by coming into contact with the channel member, and the rear board, which is in pressure contact with the slanted guide surface, can be guided into the luggage room. Therefore, while the front board and the rear board are configured to be detachable, the safety of the occupants can be ensured by reliably preventing both boards from being displaced toward the front of the vehicle interior in the event of a rear-end collision.
