Problems solved by technology

The result is that, on the one hand, it is not possible to leave the hook in the operative position without an applied load, i.e. without accessories hanging on it, and on the other hand, only two positions are available, the fully folded inward stowed position and (only In the fully outwardly folded operating position when the load is applied

Embodiment Construction

[0034] In the various figures, identical components are always provided with the same reference numerals, so they are usually also described only once.

[0035] FIG. 1 shows a rigid hooking element 1 according to the prior art, which is designed in one piece with components of an interior trim 2 of the vehicle interior. The high stability and ease of production of the design are advantageous. A disadvantage of this design is that the hook element 1 takes up unnecessary storage space in the passenger compartment or in the luggage compartment when not in use.

[0036] In contrast, Figure 2a shows a multi-part hook system according to the prior art in an inwardly folded stowed position. Hook element 1 (see Figure 2b ) is here in a stowed position in the trim 2 concealed inside the vehicle interior when not in use so that it does not occupy any vehicle interior. Instead, hook element 1 (see Figure 2b ) is surrounded, closed or hemmed by the base 3. The observer only sees the ...

Abstract

The invention relates to an integral hook arrangement (9) for hanging accessories in a vehicle interior. The integral hook arrangement (9) has at least one hook element (1) and an integral hook base (13). The integral hook base (13) is designed as a single piece with the or each hook element (1) and is connected pivotably via at least one live hinge (14) such that the or each hook element (1) canpivot from a folded-in stowed position into a folded-out operating position with an opening angle (22). The integral hook arrangement (9) here has a stop element (16), wherein a removable abutment and / or engagement (18) is or can be formed between the integral hook base (13) and the or each hook element (1) in order to limit the opening angle (22) in the folded-out operating position.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an integrated hook system for hanging accessories in the interior of a vehicle having the features of the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique [0002] Hook or similar suspension device in the interior of a motor vehicle to hang or store accessories (jackets, coats, shopping bags, handbags, etc.) or similar items on the one hand and to allow quick and comfortable access while driving or when leaving the vehicle on the other hand stored objects. There are basically two options for designing these one-piece hooks: [0003] 1. Designing them as a single rigid part immovably arranged in the vehicle interior, wherein the hooks cannot be folded inwards or outwards, thus reducing the interior space of the motor vehicle, especially the storage space. [0004] 2. The inward or outward folding system consists of multiple components such as hook elements, pivot shafts and mounting bases. [0005] Furthermore, so-called living hin...
