AI Technical Summary
Existing designs of bag hooks in motor vehicle interior covers are inefficient and prone to unintentional detachment of bags, requiring additional design efforts to enhance accessibility and stability.
An interior cover with a U-shaped recess and a slightly angled free end for the bag hook, integrated during manufacturing, ensures easy access and secure attachment of bags without additional design complexity.
The solution provides improved accessibility and secure attachment of bags by simplifying the design and preventing unintentional detachment, enhancing user convenience and reliability.

Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to an interior cover according to the preamble of claim 1. The invention further relates to a motor vehicle with such an interior cover.
[0002] Published patents GB 2 454 929 A, EP 2 329 992 A2, US 5 863 092 A and WO 2003 / 096845 A1 disclose various designs of bag hooks that can be integrated into interior trim panels of motor vehicles. Japanese patent JP H06-19 414 Y2 discloses a coat hook that is combined in a roof side panel with a cover element that can be retracted to the inside of the roof side panel to allow a coat hanger to be hung on it.
[0003] The object of the invention is to simplify the representation of a bag hook on an interior cover of a motor vehicle.
[0004] The problem is solved by an interior cover with the features of claim 1. The step significantly improves the accessibility of the bag hook without additional design effort. The recess with the U-shaped cross-section can be created, for example, using an insert during the manufacture of the interior cover. Because one free end of the bag hook is slightly angled to act as a kind of barb, unwanted detachment of an object, such as a bag, from the bag hook is reliably prevented.
[0005] A preferred embodiment of the interior cover is characterized in that the bag hook is surrounded by a recess in the area of the step of the interior cover. The larger the recess, the easier the access to the bag hook.
[0006] Another preferred embodiment of the interior cover is characterized in that the bag hook is formed by a substantially vertically arranged section of the interior cover. Thus, the bag hook extends substantially vertically upwards in the vehicle. This significantly simplifies hanging, for example, a bag from the bag hook.
[0007] The invention further relates to a motor vehicle with an interior cover as described above. The bag hook is preferably provided in a cargo area of the motor vehicle.
[0008] Further advantages, features, and details of the invention will become apparent from the following description, in which an exemplary embodiment is described in detail with reference to the drawing. The drawing shows: Fig. 1 a perspective view of a supporting structure of a motor vehicle with an interior cover according to the invention; Fig. 2 the view of a section along line II in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 the view of a section along line III in Fig. 1.
[0009] In Fig. Figure 1 shows a support structure 1 of a motor vehicle with a pillar 3 in perspective. An interior cover 4 is attached to the inside of the support structure 1. The interior cover 4 defines a cargo space of the motor vehicle.
[0010] The interior cover 4 comprises a stage 5 with a substantially vertical surface 8 and a substantially horizontal surface 9. The terms vertical and horizontal refer to a ground on which the motor vehicle with the interior cover 4 stands. Vertical means substantially perpendicular to the ground. Horizontal means substantially parallel to the ground.
[0011] In the area of level 5, as can also be seen in the Fig. 2 and Fig. Figure 3 shows a bag hook 10 formed in the interior cover 4. The bag hook 10 is bounded by a recess 14 which has a substantially U-shaped cross-section. The U-shaped cross-section 14 is open at the top. This simplifies hanging a bag handle on the bag hook 10.
[0012] The bag hook 10 is formed by a vertical section 20 of the inner cover 4. A free end of the vertical section 20 of the bag hook 10 is slightly angled according to the design of stage 5. This allows a type of barb to be represented in a simple manner.
