Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a device for loading items on a motor vehicle, preferably a roof rack. Background Art

[0002] The cab of a commercial vehicle can be equipped with a raised roof. In such a design, a roof rack can be placed in the raised roof above the windshield. The roof rack provides a stowage space for items. Roof racks can typically be closed with a pivoting cover or opened without a cover. Besides aesthetic considerations, roof rack design can also take into account different roof heights, different roof rack heights, and the standing height in the commercial vehicle cab.

[0003] Roof racks for driver's cabs of commercial vehicles are known, for example, from DE 199 57 854 B4 and EP 1 398 219 A2. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide an alternative and / or improved device for loading objects in a motor vehicle.

[0005] This object is achieved by the features described below. Advantageous improvements are given in the embodiments described below.

[0006] The present invention relates to a device, preferably a roof rack, for loading items for a motor vehicle, preferably a commercial vehicle (e.g., a truck or bus). The device comprises a first storage compartment, a second storage compartment, and a (e.g., vertically oriented) partition wall that separates the first and second storage compartments from each other. The device comprises a roller blind that is movable (e.g., displaceable) to open and close the second storage compartment, and a roller blind guide that guides the roller blind and is (e.g., completely) integrally formed with the partition wall.

[0007] Therefore, the partition wall, in addition to its function of separating the storage boxes, can also serve as a guide for the roller blind. Preferably, integrating the roller blind guide into the partition wall reduces the number of components and assembly effort. For example, the roller blind guide can be injection-molded onto the partition wall. This reduces manufacturing costs.

[0008] In one embodiment, the roller blind guide is at least partially arranged on the front side of the partition wall and / or forms the front end face of the partition wall (eg protrudes laterally). Like this, the arrangement of the roller blind guide can realize the largest possible interior space for the second storage box.

[0009] In a further embodiment, the roller blind guide is designed as a guide rail or a guide groove.

[0010] For example, the roller blind can be formed by a plurality of slats which are articulatedly connected to one another.The slats can preferably be guided on their outer edges in a roller blind guide.

[0011] In another embodiment, the partition wall and the roller blind guide are designed as a whole in one piece as a plastic injection-molded part. The unit consisting of the roller blind guide and the partition wall can thus be produced reliably and cost-effectively.

[0012] In one embodiment, the device further comprises a lid that pivots to open and close the first storage compartment. In the closed position, the lid preferably covers the roller blind guide at the front. The lid thus serves multiple functions, namely closing the first storage compartment and protectively covering the roller blind guide. This also reduces the gap between the roller blind and the lid. Furthermore, for example, a separate cover portion covering the roller blind guide can be omitted.

[0013] In another embodiment, the device has an insert that is releasably attached to the free end, preferably on the bottom side, of the roller blind guide for removing the roller blind (e.g., by means of a plug-in connection or a snap-on connection). This makes it possible, for example, to easily replace the roller blind in the installed state of the device without having to partially or completely dismantle the device.

[0014] In a further embodiment, the roller blind guide has a straight (for example vertically oriented) section for holding the roller blind in its closed position, wherein the straight section is preferably arranged on an end face of the partition wall.

[0015] In a further embodiment, the roller blind guide has a curved section for holding the roller blind in its open position, wherein the curved section is preferably arranged on the top side and / or the rear side of the partition wall.

[0016] In a design variant, the device also has a lighting unit for illuminating the first and / or second storage box, which is preferably arranged (eg fixed and / or inserted) in a receptacle in the partition wall. The partition wall can thus assume another function, namely space-saving lighting of the storage box.

[0017] In another design variant, the device further comprises at least one (e.g., first) fastening section for fastening the device at the rear and / or top, wherein the at least one fastening section is preferably formed integrally with the partition wall. Particularly preferably, the fastening section can be arranged at the rear and / or top of the partition wall, and / or the partition wall and the fastening section can be designed as a plastic injection-molded part. The partition wall can then assume another function, namely, fastening the device, for example, to the roof of a motor vehicle.

[0018] In another design variant, the device further comprises at least one (e.g., second) fastening section, which is preferably designed as a spiral dome. A gas spring (e.g., for the lid of the first storage box) is removably mounted on the at least one fastening section, wherein the at least one fastening section is formed integrally with the partition wall, preferably as a plastic injection-molded part. The partition wall can then assume another function, namely, fastening the gas spring.

[0019] In another design variant, the device further comprises a cable duct, which is preferably formed integrally with the partition wall. Particularly preferably, the cable duct can be arranged on the rear side and / or top side of the partition wall, and / or the partition wall and the cable duct can be designed as plastic injection-molded parts. The partition wall can thus assume another function, namely, routing cables, for example, to an electric sunroof system of a motor vehicle.

[0020] For example, the cable duct can be arranged above the roller blind guide.Access to the cable duct can be achieved, for example, when the device is installed in a motor vehicle.

[0021] In one embodiment, the second storage box has a rear wall which separates the roller blind from the interior space of the second storage box when the roller blind is in the open position, thereby preventing the roller blind from colliding with or getting stuck on items in the second storage box.

[0022] In one refinement, the rear wall is curved, extends from the bottom surface of the second storage box to the front side of the second storage box, is designed to be flexible, and / or has at least one reinforcing rib.

[0023] In another embodiment, the device further comprises a third storage box, wherein the second storage box is preferably arranged between the first storage box and the third storage box, particularly preferably in the middle. It is feasible that another (for example, vertically oriented) partition wall separates the second storage box and the third storage box from each other. Another roller blind guide can guide the roller blind and is constructed integrally with the other partition wall, preferably as a plastic injection molded part. Therefore, the other partition wall can, like the partition wall, in addition to its function of separating the storage boxes, also assume the function of guiding the roller blind. Preferably, if the roller blind guide is integrated into the other partition wall, the number of components and the assembly work can be reduced. For example, the roller blind guide rail can be injection-molded onto the partition wall. Therefore, the device can achieve manufacturing cost savings.

[0024] For example, another roller blind guide can be arranged opposite the roller blind guide.The roller blind can then be reliably guided by two roller blind guides on two opposing outer edges, for example.

[0025] Advantageously, the combination of the further roller blind guide and the further partition wall can be designed like the combination of the roller blind guide and the partition wall.

[0026] The partition wall and the further partition wall can be designed as the same component.

[0027] In one embodiment, the further roller blind guide is at least partially arranged on an end side of the further partition wall and / or forms a front face of the further partition wall.

[0028] In a further embodiment, the further roller blind guide is designed as a guide rail or a guide groove.

[0029] In a further embodiment, the device has a further lid which is pivotable to open and close the third storage compartment, wherein the further lid preferably covers the further roller blind guide at the front in the closed position of the further lid.

[0030] In another embodiment, the device has a further insert, which is detachably attached (for example by means of a plug connection or a latching connection) to the preferably bottom-side free end of the further roller blind guide for removing the roller blind.

[0031] In one design variant, the further roller blind guide has a straight section for holding the roller blind in its closed position, wherein the straight section is preferably arranged on the end face of the further partition wall.

[0032] In a further design variant, the further roller blind guide has a curved section for holding the roller blind in its open position, wherein the curved section is preferably arranged on the top side of the further partition wall.

[0033] In another embodiment, the device has a further lighting unit for illuminating the second and / or third storage box, wherein the further lighting unit is preferably arranged (eg fixed and / or inserted) in a receptacle of the further partition wall.

[0034] In another design variant, the device has at least one further fastening section for fastening the device at the rear and / or top side, wherein the at least one further fastening section is preferably designed integrally with the further partition wall, preferably as a plastic injection-molded part.

[0035] In a further embodiment, the device has a further cable duct which is designed integrally with the further partition wall, preferably on the rear side, on the top side and / or as a plastic injection-molded part.

[0036] The present invention also relates to a motor vehicle, preferably a commercial vehicle (such as a truck or bus), having a device for loading items as disclosed herein. The second storage compartment can preferably be arranged in the central area of ​​the vehicle's cab. This allows the operator to achieve maximum standing height and freedom of movement in the central area. Standing height and freedom of movement are not affected, for example, by the lid pivoting upward to close the second storage compartment. While standing, the operator can reach the lids of the first and third storage compartments in the central area of ​​the cab and open the roller shutter between them without restricting their mobility.

[0037] For example, the device may be arranged above the windshield of a motor vehicle. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0049] Figures 1 to 9 A device 10 for loading items into a motor vehicle or at least a portion thereof is shown. The device 10 is preferably designed as a roof rack, such as Figure 9 The device 10 can be arranged in a motor vehicle, in particular in a driver's cab 12 of a motor vehicle, above a windshield 14 (see Figure 9 ). The motor vehicle can preferably be designed as a commercial vehicle, in particular a truck or a bus.

[0050] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 8 The structure and mode of operation of the device 10 are explained by way of example.

[0051] Device 10 has three storage boxes or loading boxes 16, 18, and 20. These storage boxes are arranged side by side. Second storage box 18 is centrally located between storage boxes 16 and 20. For example, first and third storage boxes 16 and 20 can be closed and opened by lids 22 and 24, respectively. Second storage box 18 can be closed by a movable roller shutter 26. Device 10 can also have only two storage boxes or more than three storage boxes, as long as at least second storage box 18 is surrounded by roller shutter 26.

[0052] The lids 22 and 24 can be pivoted between a closed position and an open position, respectively. For example, the lids 22 and 24 can be pivoted upward to open. In the closed position, the corresponding storage box 16 or 20 is covered / enclosed by the lid 22 or 24 (see, for example, Figure 1 and 2 In the open position, the corresponding storage box 16 or 20 is released by the opened lid 22 or 24.

[0053] The roller shutter 26 can be moved between an open position and a closed position, and is preferably movable. For example, the roller shutter 26 can be moved upward to open. In the closed position, the second storage box 18 is covered / enclosed by the roller shutter 26 (see, for example, Figure 1 and 3 In the open position, the second storage box 18 is released by the opened roller shutter 26 .

[0054] The lids 22, 24 can, for example, be pivotally mounted on a frame cover 28. The frame cover 28 can be arranged on the front side (and optionally on the bottom side) of the device 10. The frame cover 28 has an access opening for the storage bins 16, 18, 20. The storage bins 16, 18, 20 are accessible through the opened access opening. The access opening can be selectively closed by the lids 22, 24 and the roller shutter 26.

[0055] The pivotable covers 22, 24 and the roller blind 26 create a maximum free space for the driver of the motor vehicle even when the luggage rack is open, since neither the covers 22, 24 nor the roller blind 26 restrict this free space. Figure 9 It is additionally shown in FIG. 1 that in the central area of ​​the driver's cab 12 near the driver's seat, in which the operator can stand, no disruptive pivoting area is created for the operator standing in front of the second storage box 18 , since the second storage box 18 can be closed by a movable roller shutter 26 .

[0056] The storage boxes 16, 18, 20 can be delimited on the bottom side by a frame cover part 28. Each storage box 16, 18, 20 can have a bottom part 30, for example in the form of a rubber pad. For example, a bottom part 30 can be provided for each storage box 16, 18, 20, or a common bottom part 30 can be provided for all storage boxes 16, 18, 20. For example, the bottom part 30 can be arranged on the frame cover part 28 of the device 10, for example, in a corresponding receiving opening, as shown (see, for example, Figure 8 ). For example, it is also possible that the bottom part 30 is constructed integrally with the frame covering part 28. The frame covering part 28 can also be designed to be fixed to the driver's cab 12.

[0057] It is also possible to provide a gas spring 31 to suppress the movement of the covers 22, 24 (see for example Figure 3 、 4 , 7 and 8). The gas spring 31 can preferably be detachably mounted on the partition wall 34. For example, the partition wall 34 can each have a fixing section 33 designed integrally with the partition wall 34. The fixing section 33 can be designed in particular as a spiral dome. The gas spring 31 can preferably be screwed directly to the spiral dome or screwed to a threaded bushing inserted or screwed into the spiral dome, so that the gas spring 31 can be detachably mounted on the partition wall 34. The frame cover part 28 can have a recess for the fixing section 33 of the partition wall 34. The frame cover part 28 can also be clamped in this area and screwed to the partition wall 34.

[0058] The storage boxes 16 and 20 can be free on the rear side and / or the top side in the device 10. Alternatively, when the device 10 is installed, a rear wall and a top side wall for the storage boxes 16 and 18 can be created. For example, Figure 9 As shown in FIG, the canopy or roof of the cab 12 may form the rear wall and top side walls of the storage boxes 16 and 20. The second storage box 18 may have its own rear wall 32, which will be described in detail later.

[0059] The storage boxes 16, 18 and 20 are separated from each other by partition walls 34. These partition walls 34 are vertically oriented. The partition walls 34 can be fixed to the frame covering part 28 on the bottom side and / or on the outside, for example.

[0060] A particularity of the present disclosure is that the partition wall 34 can be designed to be multifunctional. In addition to the partition function for the storage boxes 16, 18, 20, the partition wall 34 can also have one or more other functions.

[0061] Preferably, a roller blind guide 36 for the roller blind 26 is integrally connected to the partition wall 34. The roller blind guide 36 serves to guide and hold the roller blind 26. One of these roller blind guides 36 is integrally connected to the partition wall 34 between the first storage box 16 and the second storage box 18. The other roller blind guide 36 is integrally connected to the partition wall 34 between the second storage box 18 and the third storage box 20. The partition wall 34 can thus additionally assume the function of guiding the roller blind 26. Separately installed roller blind guides for the roller blind 26 are unnecessary.

[0062] For example, the roller blind guide 36 can each be directly injected onto the partition wall 34. For example, the roller blind guide 36 and the partition wall 34 can each be designed as a plastic injection-molded part in one piece.

[0063] The roller blind guide 36 can be designed as a guide rail or a guide groove. The roller blind guide 36 can be divided into several sections connected to each other.

[0064] A section of the roller blind guide 36 can respectively form the front face of the partition wall 34 or be arranged on the partition wall 34 at the end side. This section of the roller blind guide 36 is preferably respectively oriented in a straight line and, for example, essentially vertically. This section of the roller blind guide 36 can hold the roller blind 26 in its closed position. This section of the roller blind guide 36 can not be covered by the frame covering part 28 (see, for example, Figure 3 、 4and 7). This arrangement allows the roller blind guide 36 to be placed as far forward as possible, so that the dimensions of the second storage box 18 are not affected by the arrangement of the roller blind guide 36. In order to place the frame covering part 28 in front of the roller blind guide 36, it is not necessary to pay attention to the tight assembly tolerances between the frame covering part 28 and the roller blind guide 36. Alternatively, the front side section of the roller blind guide 36 can be protectively covered by the lids 22 and 24 in their closed position. Advantageously, the outer edge of the lid 22 facing the second storage box 18 can cover the roller blind guide 36 of the partition wall 34 between the first and second storage boxes 16, 18 in the closed position. The outer edge of the lid 24 facing the second storage box 18 can cover the roller blind guide 36 of the partition wall 34 between the second and third storage boxes 18, 20 in the closed position. This also creates a visually attractive solution.

[0065] An insert 38 can be attached detachably to each roller blind guide 36 at the preferably bottom end of the straight section of the roller blind guide 36. By releasing the insert 38, the roller blind guide 36 can be opened at the end, so that the roller blind 26 can be easily removed from the roller blind guide 36, for example, for repair or replacement. The insert 38 can be attached detachably to the respective roller blind guide 36, for example, by means of a plug-in connection or a latching connection.

[0066] Another section of the roller blind guide 36 can be arranged on the top side and / or rear side of the corresponding partition wall 34. Another section of the roller blind guide 36 can be bent or curved and follow the outer contour of the corresponding partition wall 34. In the other section of the roller blind guide 36, the roller blind 26 can be held in its open position.

[0067] It is possible to integrate only one of the roller blind guides in the partition wall and the other roller blind guide, for example, in the outer wall of the device, for example if the device has only two storage boxes and one partition wall.

[0068] The partition wall 34 may have other functions integrated therein. For example, the partition wall 34 may have a housing 40 for an electric lighting unit 42. The lighting unit 42 may be provided, for example, to illuminate the second storage box 18. The partition wall 34 may also have a support 44 for a shelf 46, which may be used, for example, to separate the second storage box 18 (and / or another storage box).

[0069] Preferably, the cable duct 48 and / or the fastening section 50 for fastening the device 10 can also be designed integrally with the partition wall 34, for example as a plastic injection-molded part and / or together with the roller blind guide 36. For example, the cables for operating the electric roof hatch device can be guided via the cable duct 48 to the roof of the driver's cab 12. The device 10 can be mounted on the roof of the driver's cab 12 via the fastening section 50. The cable duct 48 and / or the fastening section 50 are preferably arranged on the rear side and / or the top side of the partition wall 34. The cable duct 48 and / or the fastening section 50 can be arranged next to the roller blind guide 36, preferably adjacent thereto.

[0070] The device 10 may have other fixing means for fixing it in the cab 12, for example Figure 7 It can be seen (e.g. fixed corner braces, etc.).

[0071] To prevent the roller shutter 26 from colliding with or being damaged by items in the second storage box 18 when the roller shutter 26 is moved to the closed position, a rear wall 32 may be provided. The rear wall 32 separates the roller shutter 26 from the second storage box 18. The rear wall 32 may be made of, for example, a flexible material and may extend in a curved or bent manner from the rear bottom edge of the partition wall 34 to the top front edge of the partition wall 34. The rear wall 32 may have a plurality of reinforcing ribs. These ribs may be arranged in parallel. The ribs may be oriented transversely to the rear wall 32. The ribs prevent the flexible rear wall 32 from undesirably deforming, such as bulging inward, when in the installed position.

[0072] The present invention is not limited to the preferred embodiments described above. Rather, there can be numerous modifications and variations which also employ the concept of the present invention and thus fall within the scope of protection.
