Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a motor vehicle, in particular a pickup truck, which includes an upwardly open loading surface and a roll bar. Background Art
[0002] It is known that a motor vehicle can have an upwardly open loading surface, which can be located behind a closed cab for the driver and passengers in the driving direction. This type of vehicle is particularly referred to as a "pickup" or "pickup truck".
[0003] It is known that a vehicle, especially a vehicle without a roof, can use a roll bar in at least some sections or multiple sections, which can have the effect of maintaining a survival space for the vehicle's occupants and / or preventing the roof from being pressed too severely in the event of a rollover.
[0004] Such a roll bar is usually connected to the load-bearing structure of the motor vehicle in a fixed and stable manner. For example, it is not envisaged to remove the roll bar that interferes with the loading of the loading surface.
[0005] There are known practices of dividing the loading surface of a pickup truck into two areas, for example, by appropriately arranging and fastening a partition wall on the loading surface. For example, if the partition wall is not currently in use, it can be retracted and carried along with the vehicle. This requires additional space for stowage in the vehicle.
[0006] The loading surface of a pickup truck can have a tailgate as the rear wall at the rear in the traveling direction. For example, such a tailgate can have hinges on its lower side and is opened by pivoting downward to facilitate loading the loading surface, for example. When the tailgate is open, there is a risk that the loaded goods will be lost from the loading surface, especially when driving the motor vehicle. Summary of the Invention
[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a motor vehicle, in particular a pickup truck, which includes an upwardly open loading surface and a roll bar that avoids at least some of the above problems. In particular, in addition to its function as a rollover prevention device, the rollover bar should perform one or more additional functions.
[0008] This object is achieved by a motor vehicle, in particular a pickup truck, having the features claimed in claim 1.
[0009] The motor vehicle includes an upwardly open loading surface defined by side walls, a front wall, and a rear wall, wherein the motor vehicle includes an anti-roll bar, wherein the anti-roll bar has at least one boundary wall, and wherein, in the anti-roll bar mode, the boundary wall of the anti-roll bar forms a surface that is arranged at the top, front, or rear of the anti-roll bar and extends substantially over the entire width of the motor vehicle (i.e., in the y-direction of the motor vehicle), and wherein, in the anti-roll bar mode, the anti-roll bar has at least one mounting base arranged at the bottom of the anti-roll bar, and wherein, in the anti-roll bar mode, the anti-roll bar is arranged in the front region of the loading surface, and the mounting base of the anti-roll bar is mounted in the region of the upper edge of the side wall.
[0010] The anti-roll bar and the remainder of the motor vehicle have mounting elements that are designed such that the anti-roll bar can be easily removed by the user of the motor vehicle from the anti-roll bar mode and can be mounted in at least one of the following modes, preferably at least two or all three modes:
[0011] Partition element mode, wherein, in the partition element mode, the boundary wall of the anti-roll bar forms a vertical partition wall above the loading surface, and the mounting base of the anti-roll bar is mounted behind the boundary wall, preferably in the rear region of the side wall.
[0012] - Loading space extension mode, wherein, in the loading space extension mode, the boundary wall of the anti-roll bar forms a vertical partition wall above an extending surface, which is preferably an open tailgate, the vertical partition wall extends the loading surface towards the rear, and the mounting base of the anti-roll bar is mounted in front of the boundary wall, preferably mounted in the rear region of the side wall.
[0013] Storage mode, wherein, in the storage mode, the boundary wall of the anti-roll bar forms a vertical wall above the loading surface and directly adjacent to the front wall of the loading surface, and the mounting base of the anti-roll bar is mounted behind the boundary wall, preferably on the side wall.
[0014] According to the invention, the motor vehicle is equipped with an anti-roll bar that is designed to be removed from its normal position and used as an anti-roll bar, and for at least one other position and function. Thus, the anti-roll bar is fastened to the remainder of the motor vehicle by mounting elements, which enables the user of the vehicle to appropriately disassemble and install the anti-roll bar, preferably without the use of tools. The mounting elements are formed on the anti-roll bar by the mounting base and / or by additional fastening elements that interact with the mounting base. Corresponding mounting points are provided on the motor vehicle such that the anti-roll bar can be mounted in the two, three, or all four positions mentioned.
[0015] The additional modes of the anti-tip bar can be:
[0016] - Separation element mode, in which, in the separation element mode, the boundary wall of the anti-tip bar forms a vertical partition wall above the loading surface, preferably directly above the loading surface, and the mounting base of the anti-tip bar is mounted behind the boundary wall, preferably in the rear region of the side wall. In this mode, the anti-tip bar is used to separate an area of the loading surface from a different area of the loading surface - similar to a traditional partition wall. However, the partition wall can also be removed and used as an anti-tip bar. In the separation element mode, the partition wall (i.e., the anti-tip bar) is fastened to the motor vehicle, in particular to the side wall that defines the loading surface.
[0017] - Loading space extension mode, in which, in the loading space extension mode, the boundary wall of the anti-tip bar forms a vertical partition wall above the extension surface, preferably directly above the extension surface, the extension surface is preferably the open rear flap, the extension surface extends the loading surface towards the rear, and the mounting base of the anti-tip bar is mounted in front of the boundary wall, preferably in the rear region of the side wall. In the loading space extension mode, compared to the separation element mode, the anti-tip bar rotates 180 degrees about the vertical axis, with the result that the boundary wall is located at the rear instead of the front. Therefore, the boundary wall can vertically define the extension surface at the rear, preferably the open rear flap, thus preventing the loss of goods.
[0018] - Storage mode, in which, in the storage mode, the boundary wall of the anti-tip bar forms a vertical wall above the loading surface, preferably directly above the loading surface and directly adjacent to the front wall of the loading surface, and the mounting base of the anti-tip bar is mounted behind the boundary wall, preferably on the side wall. In the storage mode, the anti-tip bar is stored in a space-saving manner. Depending on the design, the boundary wall of the anti-tip bar can be used to strengthen the front wall of the loading surface in the storage mode.
[0019] In the context of this document, the terms "front", "rear", "top" and "bottom" always refer to the motor vehicle and its normal driving direction when driving forward.
[0020] In a side view of the motor vehicle, the anti-tip bar preferably has a triangular shape, in which, in the anti-tip bar mode, the boundary wall of the anti-tip bar preferably forms a surface arranged at the front of the anti-tip bar. In all modes, and as a particular preference, during mode change, in a side view of the motor vehicle, the anti-tip bar preferably has a triangular shape.
[0021] In another embodiment, the anti-roll bar has a quadrilateral shape in a side view of the motor vehicle, that is to say, in particular a rectangular or square shape, wherein, in the anti-roll bar mode, the boundary walls of the anti-roll bar preferably form a surface arranged on top of the anti-roll bar. In all modes, and particularly preferably during mode changes, the anti-roll bar preferably has a quadrilateral shape in a side view of the motor vehicle.
[0022] In a side view of the motor vehicle, the anti-roll bar, including its boundary walls and its mounting base, is preferably a rigid component, such that when the anti-roll bar is removed from the anti-roll bar mode and installed by a user of the motor vehicle in a different mode, the angles of the components of the anti-roll bar relative to each other and thus the shape of the anti-roll bar in the side view are always maintained.
[0023] In the partition element mode and / or in the loading space extension mode and / or in the storage mode, the mounting base of the anti-roll bar is preferably mounted directly or indirectly on the side walls defining the loading surface and / or on the loading surface. For example, the mounting base of the anti-roll bar may have fastening flanges. For example, the mounting base may be designed for plug connections and / or for screw fastening.
[0024] The mounting base of the anti-roll bar may include at least one fastening point for mounting the anti-roll bar on the remainder of the motor vehicle, or at least one left fastening point and at least one right fastening point, and it preferably includes a plurality of fastening points for mounting the anti-roll bar at its bottom end on the remainder of the motor vehicle, or all the fastening points for mounting the anti-roll bar at its bottom end on the remainder of the motor vehicle, or all the fastening points for mounting the anti-roll bar on the remainder of the motor vehicle.
[0025] In the loading space extension mode, the extension surface that extends the loading surface towards the rear can be formed by the open rear flap of the motor vehicle.

[0039] Figures 1 - 4 Shows a motor vehicle according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
[0040] The motor vehicle is a pickup truck having an upwardly open loading surface 1 in the rear region of the vehicle, which surface is shown on the left side in each figure. The loading surface 1 is bounded by side walls 2, a front wall 3 and a rear wall 4, and the rear wall 4 further includes an openable tailgate 9. The tailgate 9 is shown in Figures 1 to 8 the open state.
[0041] The motor vehicle includes an anti-roll bar 5. In a side view, as Figures 1 - 4 shown, the anti-roll bar 5 has a triangular shape. In Figure 9 it is shown in more detail.
[0042] In Figures 5 - 8 it is shown another embodiment of the anti-roll bar 5. In a side view of the motor vehicle, the anti-roll bar 5 has a quadrilateral shape. In the anti-roll bar mode of this embodiment ( Figure 5 ), the boundary wall 6 of the anti-roll bar 5 is a surface arranged on the top of the anti-roll bar 5.
[0043] The anti-roll bar 5 has a boundary wall 6, wherein, in the Figure 1 shown anti-roll bar mode, the boundary wall 6 of the anti-roll bar 5 forms a surface arranged at the front of the anti-roll bar 5, and the surface extends substantially over the entire width of the motor vehicle. The boundary wall 6 can also be formed on the top of the anti-roll bar 5, especially in the quadrilateral anti-roll bar 5, as Figure 5 shown.
[0044] The anti-roll bar 5 further has a mounting base 7, and the mounting base 7 is located at the bottom of the anti-roll bar 5 in the anti-roll bar mode.
[0045] In the anti-roll bar mode, the anti-roll bar 5 is arranged in the front region of the loading surface 1, close to the front end of the loading surface 1. The mounting base 7 of the anti-roll bar 5 is mounted on the side wall 2 in the region of the upper edge 8 of the side wall 2.
[0046] The anti-roll bar 5 and the rest of the motor vehicle have a mounting element, which is designed such that the anti-roll bar 5 can be easily removed from the anti-roll bar mode by the user of the motor vehicle and can be mounted in Figure 2 and Figure 6 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 and Figure 4 and Figure 8 shown in at least one, preferably at least two or all three of the modes, and thus mounted in Figure 2 and Figure 6 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 and Figure 4 andFigure 8 in at least one, preferably at least two or all three of the positions shown.
[0047] Figure 2 and Figure 6 each show a dividing element mode, in which, in the dividing element mode, the boundary wall 6 of the anti-roll bar 5 forms a vertical partition wall adjacent to the loading surface 1 above the loading surface 1, and the mounting base 7 of the anti-roll bar 5 is mounted behind the boundary wall 6 in the travel direction. In the case of the triangular anti-roll bar 5, as Figure 2 shown, the mounting base 7 is located at the bottom in the dividing element mode, and in the anti-roll bar mode, in the case where the anti-roll bar 5 has a boundary wall 6 at the top, the mounting base 7 can be located at the rear ( Figure 6 ).
[0048] Figure 3 and Figure 7 each show a storage mode, in which, in the storage mode, the boundary wall 6 of the anti-roll bar 5 forms a vertical wall above the loading surface 1 and directly adjacent to the front wall 3 of the loading surface 1. At least partially, the boundary wall 6 can be close to the front wall 3 such that it strengthens the front wall 3. The mounting base 7 of the anti-roll bar 5 is mounted behind the boundary wall 6, arranged at the bottom of the anti-roll bar 5 in a motor vehicle ( Figure 3 ) or at the rear ( Figure 7 ).
[0049] Figure 4 and Figure 8 each show the use of the anti-roll bar 5 in a loading space extension mode, in which, in the loading space extension mode, the boundary wall 6 of the anti-roll bar 5 forms a vertical partition wall directly above the extension surface 9, which extends the loading surface 1 towards the rear, and the mounting base 7 of the anti-roll bar 5 is mounted in front of the boundary wall 6.
[0050] The extension surface 9 that extends the loading surface 1 towards the rear can be formed by an open tailgate of a motor vehicle.
[0051] In the dividing element mode and / or in the loading space extension mode and / or in the storage mode, the mounting base 7 of the anti-roll bar 5 can be mounted directly or indirectly on the side wall 2 defining the loading surface 1 and / or on the loading surface 1 of a motor vehicle.
[0052] Finally, Figure 9 an embodiment of the anti-roll bar 5 is shown in more detail. The longitudinal extent of the boundary wall 6 of the anti-roll bar 5 can be adjusted between a plurality of predetermined and locked lengths, and the wall is located in the y-direction in a motor vehicle.
[0053] For this purpose, the anti-roll bar 5 has side portions 10 on the left and right of the central portion 11, wherein the central portion 11 is mounted to be movable relative to the side portions 10.
[0054] Each side part 10 is formed by a tube 12 and an optional surface 13. The central part 11 is likewise formed by a tube 14, preferably by two tubes 14 arranged side by side, and optionally by a surface 15. The tube 14 of the central part 11 is designed to have a radius different from the radius of the tube 12 of the side part 10, so that the tubes can move relative to each other, one inside the other. By means of holes and latch pins on the external and internal parts, or vice versa, a predetermined length can be set in a simple manner. The surface 15 of the central part 11 or the surface 13 of the side part 10 can likewise be of a hollow design, and a corresponding other or more surface parts can be arranged in this hollow part, so that they can be mounted to be axially movable relative to each other. The surface parts can also have features for locking the position, for example by holes and locking pins.
[0055] Therefore, it is possible to prepare an anti-roll bar 5 for being easily adjusted to at least two different lengths, the at least two different lengths being assigned to at least two different modes among those described for the anti-roll bar 5, and thus being optimally matched to the different widths to be covered in a motor vehicle.
