Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a rack for a luggage compartment. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there are racks for carrying bicycles on vehicles. Patent Document 1 discloses technology relating to a bicycle storage rack that has multiple horizontal support members forming a rectangular ring shape, intended to be placed on the bed of a pickup truck. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] U.S. Pat. No. 1,058,9693 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the bicycle storage rack disclosed in Patent Document 1, the ring shape of the area where bicycles are loaded is rectangular, so for example, if a tire house protrudes from the bed or other luggage is loaded, the installation space may be limited. Also, because the vertical support members that support the multiple horizontal support members that form the rectangular ring shape are connected to the corners of the ring shape, there are problems such as the user needing to use a relatively large force when moving the rack on the bed and it being difficult to tilt the rack.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a rack for a luggage compartment that improves the ease of loading work performed by the user while making it easier to ensure installation space in the luggage compartment of a vehicle. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] One aspect of the present disclosure is a luggage compartment rack to be installed in the luggage compartment of a vehicle, comprising a rack body formed by combining three rod-shaped portions in a triangular ring shape, and three support legs connected one to each of the rod-shaped portions, and the rod-shaped portions have connection portions at positions spaced from corner portions including any of the vertices of the triangle, for removably connecting the support legs in a first direction perpendicular to an imaginary plane including the three rod-shaped portions or in a direction opposite to the first direction. Effect of the Invention

[0007] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a rack for a luggage compartment that improves the ease of loading work performed by a user while making it easier to ensure installation space in the luggage compartment of a vehicle. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0009] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. Hereinafter, the dimensions, materials, and other specific numerical values ​​shown in the embodiments are merely examples and do not limit the present disclosure unless otherwise specified. Furthermore, elements having substantially the same functions and configurations are given the same reference numerals to avoid repeated explanations, and elements not directly related to the present disclosure are not illustrated.

[0010] Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a luggage compartment rack 1 according to one embodiment. Fig. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of a vehicle 100 in which the luggage compartment rack 1 is installed in a luggage compartment 110. Fig. 2 shows an imaginary plane P including three rod-shaped parts 11 that are components of the luggage compartment rack 1, and a first direction D1 that is perpendicular to the imaginary plane P. Note that in Fig. 2, in order to clearly show the position of the imaginary plane P, the cushioning material 30 and the fixing belt 31 that are components of the luggage compartment rack 1 are omitted from the drawing.

[0011] The vehicle 100 is an automobile having a luggage compartment 110 at the rear. When the vehicle 100 is stopped, a user can load various types of luggage into the luggage compartment 110 through a back door opening 121 by opening a back door 120 from the outside.

[0012] Hereinafter, the Z direction is a direction along the vertical direction. The X direction and the Y direction are perpendicular to each other on a horizontal plane perpendicular to the Z direction. The X direction is a direction along the vehicle length direction of the vehicle 100, that is, the front-rear direction. The Y direction is a direction along the vehicle width direction of the vehicle 100.

[0013] The luggage compartment rack 1 is installed in the luggage compartment 110 and holds, for example, bicycles, skis, snowboards, camping equipment, and various other luggage without touching the floor surface 111 of the luggage compartment 110. The luggage compartment rack 1 includes a rack body 10, three support legs 20, three cushioning materials 30, and two fixing belts 31.

[0014] The rack body 10 is a frame formed by combining three rod-shaped parts 11 in a triangular ring shape, and directly holds luggage. The three rod-shaped parts 11 are specifically a first rod-shaped part 11a, a second rod-shaped part 11b, and a third rod-shaped part 11c. In this embodiment, the three rod-shaped parts 11 are each formed of a straight metal tube, and have the same shape as one another.

[0015] The rack body 10 also has three corners 12 that connect the ends of the adjacent rod-shaped portions 11. Each corner 12 is a portion that includes any vertex of a triangle that is the rough shape of the rack body 10. The three corners 12 are specifically a first corner 12a, a second corner 12b, and a third corner 12c. The first corner 12a connects the ends of the first rod-shaped portion 11a and the second rod-shaped portion 11b. The second corner 12b connects the ends of the second rod-shaped portion 11b and the third rod-shaped portion 11c. The third corner 12c connects the ends of the third rod-shaped portion 11c and the first rod-shaped portion 11a. In this embodiment, the three corners 12 are each formed of a metal bent pipe and have the same shape as one another. In other words, since the three rod-shaped portions 11 have the same shape as one another and the three corner portions 12 have the same shape as one another, the rack body 10 is in the shape of a roughly equilateral triangle.

[0016] The configuration or shape of the three corners 12 may be set in various ways other than those exemplified in this embodiment. For example, each corner 12 may be previously integrated with one of the two rod-shaped parts 11 to be connected. In this case, one end of a straight tube may be bent by bending to form a member in which one rod-shaped part 11 and one corner 12 are integrated, and the rack body 10 may be constructed by combining such three parts. In addition, the three corners 12 do not have to exist as bent tubes, and may be, for example, a joint in which the ends of two adjacent rod-shaped parts 11 are partially cut out facing each other and the facing cutout parts are joined by welding or the like.

[0017] Moreover, the three corners 12 may be made of synthetic resin instead of metal. In this case, when manufacturing the corners 12, for example, by using a mold, it is advantageous to realize mass production and can be molded into shapes having various mechanisms. For example, the three corners 12 may be of the same shape and have a detachable mechanism that allows them to be easily attached and detached to the rod-shaped part 11 to be connected. The detachable mechanism may use, for example, a hexagonal screw. Alternatively, the detachable mechanism may have structural parts that can be separated from each other, and one structural part may be provided with a hole part, and the other structural part may be provided with an elastically deformable engaging claw part, and the structural parts may be connected to each other by fitting the engaging claw part into the hole part. According to such corners 12, when the luggage rack 1 is not in use, the three rod-shaped parts 11 can be separated from each other, which is advantageous for compact storage in the corners of the luggage compartment 110. Furthermore, one of the three corners 12 may have the above-mentioned detachable mechanism, and the other two corners 12 may have a rotating mechanism. In this case, when the adjacent rod-shaped portions 11 are separated from each other via the corners 12 having the detachable mechanism, each rod-shaped portion 11 connected via the two corners 12 having the rotating mechanism may change its posture so that one is bent toward the other, with the corners 12 as the base point. Therefore, according to such a combination of the corners 12, when the luggage rack 1 is not in use, each rod-shaped portion 11 can be folded and bundled in parallel, so that all the rod-shaped portions 11 can be stored compactly without being separated.

[0018] The rod-shaped portion 11 also has a connection portion 13 to which the support leg 20 is connected.

[0019] The connection portion 13 is located at a position spaced apart from the corner portion 12 that connects to one of the ends of the rod-shaped portion 11 at which the connection portion 13 is provided. In this embodiment, when the rack body 10 is viewed as a whole, in each rod-shaped portion 11, the connection portion 13 is spaced apart by the same length L1 from the intermediate portion 14 in the extension direction of the rod-shaped portion 11, in the same direction along the ring shape of the rack body 10. In other words, in each rod-shaped portion 11, the connection portion 13 is spaced apart by the same length L2 from the closest corner portion 12.

[0020] Furthermore, the connection portion 13 removably connects the support leg 20 in the first direction D1 or in the direction opposite to the first direction D1. In this embodiment, on the premise that the support leg 20 is connected to the connection portion 13 using a screw 21a as described below, the connection portion 13 has a through hole 13a through which the screw 21a passes along the first direction D1.

[0021] The support legs 20 are connected to the respective rod-shaped portions 11 one by one, and support the rack body 10 so as to maintain it at a constant height position from the floor surface 111 of the luggage compartment 110. Specifically, the three support legs 20 are a first support leg 20a, a second support leg 20b, and a third support leg 20c. In this embodiment, the three support legs 20 are, for example, rod-shaped and made of metal, with one end being a connection end portion 21 and the other end being a bottom surface portion 22, and are of the same shape as one another.

[0022] The connection end 21 is an end of both ends of the support leg 20 that is connected to the connection portion 13. The connection end 21 of the first support leg 20a is connected to the connection portion 13 of the first rod-shaped portion 11a. The connection end 21 of the second support leg 20b is connected to the connection portion 13 of the second rod-shaped portion 11b. The connection end 21 of the third support leg 20c is connected to the connection portion 13 of the third rod-shaped portion 11c. In this embodiment, the connection end 21 has a screw 21a and a screw hole 21b that engages the screw 21a along the axial direction of the support leg 20. The axial direction of the support leg 20 is along the first direction D1.

[0023] Furthermore, the connection end 21 may have a rotation mechanism that changes the position of the main body of the support leg 20 relative to the screw joint, in addition to the screw joint consisting of the screw 21a and the screw hole 21b. With such a connection end 21, when the luggage compartment rack 1 is not in use, the support leg 20 can be folded up so that it is parallel to the rod-shaped part 11, which is advantageous for compact storage in, for example, a corner of the luggage compartment 110.

[0024] The bottom surface portion 22 is one of both ends of the support leg 20 that comes into contact with the floor surface 111. The bottom surface portion 22 is, for example, a flange-shaped base. Note that, like the connection end portion 21, the bottom surface portion 22 may simply be one end of the main body portion of the support leg 20, which is rod-shaped.

[0025] Here, in this embodiment, the bottom surface portion 22 included in two of the three support legs 20, specifically the second support leg 20b and the third support leg 20c, is a single base made of metal. In contrast to this, the bottom surface portion 22 included in one of the three support legs 20, specifically the first support leg 20a, may have a hook-and-loop fastener 23 on the bottom surface that faces the floor surface 111 when the luggage compartment rack 1 is installed in the luggage compartment 110. The hook-and-loop fastener 23 is formed of a material or configuration that is easily fixed to the interior that is laid on the floor surface 111 of the luggage compartment 110 in advance.

[0026] Also, bottom surface portion 22 may be made of synthetic resin instead of metal. Furthermore, in the above description, the case where bottom surface portion 22 included in one of three support legs 20 has hook-and-loop fastener 23 has been exemplified, but instead of hook-and-loop fastener 23, bottom surface portion 22 may have a plurality of protrusions on the bottom surface facing floor surface 111.

[0027] The cushioning materials 30 are disposed one by one in a part of each rod-shaped portion 11. The cushioning materials 30 are cylindrical bodies whose inner peripheral surface is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the rod-shaped portion 11. The cushioning materials 30 are disposed in an area of ​​the rod-shaped portion 11 that is roughly in the center and includes the intermediate portion 14. The cushioning materials 30 are also disposed in an area of ​​the rod-shaped portion 11 that avoids the position where the connection portion 13 is provided.

[0028] The fixing belt 31 wraps the luggage placed on the cushioning material 30 integrally with the cushioning material 30, thereby fixing the luggage onto the cushioning material 30. In this embodiment, the fixing belt 31 is wrapped around two of the three cushioning materials 30, specifically, one each of the cushioning material 30 arranged on the first rod-shaped portion 11a and the cushioning material 30 arranged on the second rod-shaped portion 11b.

[0029] Next, a description will be given of a first example of loading luggage onto the luggage compartment rack 1. In the following example, the luggage loaded onto the luggage compartment rack 1 is a bicycle 200.

[0030] Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the luggage compartment rack 1 loaded with a bicycle 200 as an example of luggage. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the luggage compartment rack 1 loaded with the bicycle 200, as viewed from the opposite direction to the first direction D1. It is assumed that the luggage compartment rack 1 shown in Figs. 3 and 4 has already been installed on the floor surface 111 of the luggage compartment 110.

[0031] The luggage compartment rack 1 can carry many types of bicycles, including road bikes and mountain bikes. In the example shown in Fig. 3, the bicycle 200 is a road bike. The bicycle 200 generally comprises a main frame 210, handlebars 220, a front tire supported by a front fork 221, and a rear tire 230. When the bicycle 200 is loaded onto the luggage compartment rack 1, the front tire is removed in advance from the front fork 221 connected to the handlebars 220, and is stored separately in the luggage compartment 110. The main frame 210 includes a top tube 211, a down tube 212, and a chain stay 213.

[0032] First, the user places the luggage compartment rack 1 in the luggage compartment 110 of the vehicle 100 as shown in FIG. 2. The floor surface 111 of the luggage compartment 110 is maintained approximately horizontal. The luggage compartment rack 1 is placed so that the bottom surface 22 of each of the three support legs 20 is placed on the floor surface 111. However, only the bottom surface 22 of the first support leg 20a is placed on the floor surface 111 via the hook-and-loop fastener 23. Here, in consideration of the workability of subsequently loading the bicycle 200 onto the luggage compartment rack 1, the luggage compartment rack 1 may be provisionally placed in a range of the floor surface 111 near the back door opening 121 at this stage. In addition, the luggage compartment rack 1 may be provisionally placed so that the first support leg 20a to which the hook-and-loop fastener 23 is attached is located in a range that is easily reachable by the user from the outside, such as on the back door opening 121 side or on the side of a sliding door (not shown) on the side of the vehicle 100.

[0033] Next, the user loads the bicycle 200 on the rack body 10 in a so-called horizontal orientation, as shown in Fig. 3. At this time, as shown in Fig. 4, a portion of the top tube 211 is placed on the buffer material 30 arranged on the second rod-shaped portion 11b. A portion of the down tube 212 is placed on the buffer material 30 arranged on the first rod-shaped portion 11a. A portion of the chain stay 213 is placed on the buffer material 30 arranged on the third rod-shaped portion 11c. In other words, the dimensions or annular shape of each portion of the rack body 10, including the length of each rod-shaped portion 11, are preset so as to allow the bicycle 200 to be freely placed horizontally in this manner.

[0034] Next, the user attaches the down tube 212 onto the cushioning material 30 arranged on the first rod-shaped portion 11a by winding the fixing belt 31 integrally around the cushioning material 30 arranged on the first rod-shaped portion 11a and the down tube 212. Similarly, the user attaches the top tube 211 onto the cushioning material 30 arranged on the second rod-shaped portion 11b by winding the fixing belt 31 integrally around the cushioning material 30 arranged on the second rod-shaped portion 11b and the top tube 211. In other words, the bicycle 200 is supported and fixed to the rack body 10 at two points of the main body frame 210. Note that, for convenience of drawing, in Figs. 3 and 4, there are parts of the main body frame 210 that are not in contact with each of the cushioning materials 30 and parts where the fixing belt 31 is not wound. However, at this stage, parts of the main body frame 210 are in contact with all of the cushioning materials 30, and all of the fixing belts 31 are integrally wound around some part of the main body frame 210.

[0035] Then, the user moves the luggage rack 1 with the bicycle 200 loaded to a desired position in the luggage compartment 110. At this time, the user grips the first support leg 20a to which the hook-and-loop fastener 23 is attached, and moves the luggage rack 1 on the floor surface 111 with the bottom surface 22 of the first support leg 20a raised above the floor surface 111. Here, the bottom surface 22 provided on the support legs 20 other than the first support leg 20a is a single base made of metal or synthetic resin, and therefore the bottom surface in contact with the floor surface 111 is simply a metal surface or synthetic resin surface. In other words, the user moves the luggage rack 1 that is in contact with the floor surface 111 at two metal surfaces or the like. After moving the luggage rack 1 to a desired position, the user lowers the first support leg 20a and brings the hook-and-loop fastener 23 into contact with the floor surface 111, completing the loading operation. The hook-and-loop fastener 23 is formed of a material or structure that is easily attached to the interior trim laid on the floor surface 111 in advance, so by attaching it to the interior trim of the floor surface 111, the luggage compartment rack 1 is prevented from sliding sideways on the floor surface 111.

[0036] Next, a second loading example of luggage on the luggage compartment rack 1 will be described. In the first loading example, only one luggage compartment rack 1 for loading one bicycle 200 is installed in the luggage compartment 110. In contrast, in the second loading example, another luggage compartment rack is used in addition to the luggage compartment rack 1, so that another bicycle can be stored in the luggage compartment 110 in addition to the bicycle 200.

[0037] Fig. 5 is a perspective view of two luggage compartment racks when implementing the second loading example. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of two luggage compartment racks with bicycles loaded thereon as the second loading example. Fig. 7 is a plan view of the luggage compartment rack when implementing the second loading example. It is assumed that the two luggage compartment racks shown in Fig. 6 are already installed on the floor surface 111 of the luggage compartment 110.

[0038] Here, one of the two luggage compartment racks is the luggage compartment rack 1 for carrying the bicycle 200 shown in the first loading example.

[0039] Meanwhile, the other of the two luggage compartment racks will be referred to as "additional rack 2" below to distinguish it from luggage compartment rack 1. The luggage loaded on additional rack 2 is a bicycle of the same shape as bicycle 200, and will be referred to as "additional bicycle 300" below to distinguish it from bicycle 200. Similar to bicycle 200, additional bicycle 300 includes a main body frame 310, handlebars 320, and a front tire and a rear tire 330 that are separately stored in luggage compartment 110. Main body frame 310 includes a top tube 311, a down tube 312, and a chain stay 313.

[0040] The additional rack 2 includes a rack body 10, three support legs 40, three cushioning materials 30, and two fixing belts 31. That is, the additional rack 2 is different from the luggage compartment rack 1 in that it includes support legs 40 whose length is changed from that of the support legs 20.

[0041] The support legs 40 are connected to the rod-shaped parts 11 one by one, like the support legs 20, and support the rack body 10 so as to maintain it at a certain height position from the floor surface 111 of the luggage compartment 110. Specifically, the three support legs 40 are a first support leg 40a, a second support leg 40b, and a third support leg 40c. The first support leg 40a corresponds to the first support leg 20a of the luggage compartment rack 1. The second support leg 40b corresponds to the second support leg 40b of the luggage compartment rack 1. The third support leg 40c corresponds to the third support leg 40c of the luggage compartment rack 1. In addition, the three support legs 40 are, for example, rod-shaped, made of metal, with one end being the connection end part 21 and the other end being the bottom part 22, and are the same shape as each other, like the support legs 20. Furthermore, the bottom surface portion 22 of the first support leg 40a has a hook-and-loop fastener 23 and the like, similarly to the first support leg 20a.

[0042] Here, as shown in Fig. 5, the length of the three support legs 20 of the luggage compartment rack 1 is represented by a first height H1 when placed on the floor surface 111 of the luggage compartment 110. In contrast to this, the length of the additional rack 2 is represented by a second height H2 when similarly placed on the floor surface 111. The second height H2 is set to be higher than the first height H1. Also, as shown in Fig. 6, the second height H2 is set to a height at which the bicycle 200 does not come into contact with the rack body 10 of the additional rack 2 even when the bicycle 200 is loaded on the luggage compartment rack 1.

[0043] In the additional rack 2, the facing orientation of the rack body 10 with respect to the floor surface 111 is opposite to that of the luggage compartment rack 1. Specifically, referring to Fig. 7, in the rack body 10 in the luggage compartment rack 1, the first support leg 20a, the second support leg 20b, and the third support leg 20c forming a triangular ring are arranged in a so-called counterclockwise direction. On the other hand, in the rack body 10 in the additional rack 2, the first support leg 40a, the second support leg 40b, and the third support leg 40c forming a triangular ring are arranged in a so-called clockwise direction.

[0044] Furthermore, in the additional rack 2, the facing position of the rack body 10 with respect to the floor surface 111 is opposite to that of the luggage compartment rack 1, and the direction in which each support leg 40 is connected to the connection portion 13 provided on each rod-shaped portion 11 is opposite. For example, in the luggage compartment rack 1 installed on the floor surface 111, the direction in which each support leg 20 is connected to each connection portion 13 is along the first direction D1 as shown in FIG. 2. In contrast, it is assumed that the facing position of the rack body 10 with respect to the floor surface 111 in the additional rack 2 is the same as the facing position of the rack body 10 with respect to the luggage compartment rack 1. The direction in which the support leg 40 is connected to each connection portion 13 of the rack body 10 in this assumed position is along the opposite direction to the first direction D1. In other words, the additional rack 2 in actual use shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 6, and FIG. 7 is obtained by inverting the additional rack 2 with the rack body 10 in the assumed position with respect to the floor surface 111.

[0045] Due to the difference in the connection direction between the support legs 20 and 40, for example, when focusing on each third corner 12c in Fig. 5, the first support leg 20a as the support leg 20 closest to the third corner 12c of the luggage rack 1 is located at a position separated from the third corner 12c in a counterclockwise direction. In contrast, the first support leg 40a as the support leg 40 closest to the third corner 12c of the additional rack 2 is located at a position separated from the third corner 12c in a clockwise direction. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 7, when the luggage rack 1 and the additional rack 2 are placed on the floor surface 111 in a posture similar to each other, the interval W1 between the support legs 20 and 40 that are close to each other is wider than when the facing postures of the rack body 10 on the floor surface 111 are not opposite to each other.

[0046] Next, the effects of the luggage compartment rack 1 will be described.

[0047] The luggage compartment rack 1 is installed in the luggage compartment 110 of a vehicle 100, and includes a rack body 10 formed by combining three rod-shaped parts 11 in a triangular ring shape, and three support legs 20 each connected to each rod-shaped part 11. The rod-shaped parts 11 have connection parts 13 at positions spaced from corner parts 12 including any vertex of the triangle to removably connect the support legs 20 in a first direction D1 perpendicular to an imaginary plane P including the three rod-shaped parts 11 or in the direction opposite to the first direction D1.

[0048] In addition, when the luggage compartment rack is the additional rack 2 exemplified above, the three support legs referred to here correspond to the support legs 40.

[0049] First, in the luggage compartment rack 1, the rack body 10 is maintained at a constant height from the floor surface 111 of the luggage compartment 110 by the three support legs 20. In other words, luggage that can be placed on the rack body 10 is held on the luggage compartment rack 1 at a constant height position from the floor surface 111, and does not come into contact with the floor surface 111. Therefore, it is possible to protect the interior decoration laid on the floor surface 111, and to keep the floor surface 111 clean even if dirt adheres to luggage.

[0050] In addition, in the luggage compartment rack 1, the rack body 10 is configured by combining three rod-shaped parts 11 in a triangular ring shape. In this way, the rack body 10 has a rough shape of a triangular ring, so that luggage can be stably loaded with a minimum number of rod-shaped parts 11.

[0051] For example, when the luggage is bicycle 200 as in the above example, regardless of the type of bicycle, each rod-shaped portion 11 is likely to be positioned at any part of main body frame 210 of bicycle 200 placed horizontally. Main body frame 210 is also a strong part of bicycle 200. Therefore, the user can attach bicycle 200 to luggage rack 1 easily and stably.

[0052] Also, for example, since the luggage compartment 110 is a part of the vehicle 100, a tire house may protrude from the luggage compartment 110, or other luggage may be stored therein in advance. In contrast, in the luggage compartment rack 1, the rack body 10 has a triangular ring-shaped outline, so the user can adjust the position of the luggage compartment rack 1 to suit the surrounding conditions, such as by positioning one of the corners 12 in a narrow space in the luggage compartment 110. In this regard, as a comparative example, if the rack body has a rectangular ring-shaped outline, it is difficult to position the corners in a narrow space, and the arrangement in the luggage compartment 110 may be limited.

[0053] In addition, in the luggage compartment rack 1, the rack body 10 is supported by three support legs 20, each connected to each rod-shaped portion 11. Therefore, the user can move the luggage compartment rack 1, for example, by gripping one of the support legs 20 and lifting it slightly from the floor surface 111. Therefore, in loading work, the user can easily place luggage on the rack body 10 near the back door opening 121, and then easily move the luggage compartment rack 1 to a desired position in the luggage compartment 110. In addition, when moving the luggage compartment rack 1, the user can also easily swing the luggage compartment rack 1 from side to side or maintain it at an angle.

[0054] Furthermore, in the luggage compartment rack 1, each support leg 20 is detachable from the connection portion 13 of the rod-shaped portion 11. Therefore, when not in use, the user can store the luggage compartment rack 1 compactly by removing each support leg 20 from the rack body 10. Furthermore, when three support legs 20 are made into one set, by preparing a plurality of sets in advance with different lengths of the support legs 20, the height position of the rack body 10 from the floor surface 111 can be changed as appropriate.

[0055] Furthermore, by preparing the additional rack 2 in the above example in addition to the luggage compartment rack 1, two bicycles can be stacked and stored in the luggage compartment 110. Here, the connection portion 13 of each rod-shaped portion 11 connects the support leg 20 at a position away from the corner portion 12 of the triangle and in the first direction D1 or in the opposite direction to the first direction D1. In this regard, in the above example, in the luggage compartment rack 1, three support legs 20 are connected to the connection portion 13 of the rack body 10 in the first direction D1, and in the additional rack 2, three support legs 40 are connected to the connection portion 13 of the rack body 10 in the opposite direction to the first direction D1. As a result, as described with reference to Figures 5, 6 and 7, when the luggage compartment rack 1 and the additional rack 2 are placed on the floor surface 111 in a posture similar to each other, the interval W1 between the support legs 20 and the support legs 40 that are close to each other can be set wider. Therefore, when a user, for example, grasps the first support leg 20a to move the luggage compartment rack 1, his / her hand is less likely to interfere with the first support leg 40a of the additional rack 2 that is close to the first support leg 20a, improving workability.

[0056] In this regard, as a comparative example, a case is assumed in which the connection portion for connecting the support legs is located at the corner of a triangle. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, it is assumed that the posture of the luggage rack 1 and the additional rack 2 is the same as that of the example of this embodiment, and the first support leg 20a and the first support leg 40a that are close to each other are connected to the corner. In this case, the interval W2 between the first support leg 20a and the first support leg 40a is narrower than the interval W1. Therefore, when a user tries to move the luggage rack 1 by gripping the first support leg 20a, there is a risk that his / her hand will interfere with the first support leg 40a.

[0057] As described above, according to this embodiment, it is possible to provide a luggage compartment rack 1 that makes it easy to ensure installation space in the luggage compartment 110 of the vehicle 100, while improving the ease of loading work by the user.

[0058] In addition, in the luggage compartment rack 1, the connection portions 13 of each rod-shaped portion 11 may be spaced apart from the intermediate portion 14 in the extension direction of the rod-shaped portion 11 by the same distance W1 around the same direction along the ring shape of the rack body 10.

[0059] According to this luggage room rack 1, the three connection parts 13 are arranged regularly on the rack body 10. Therefore, luggage can be loaded more stably and the user can easily maintain balance when moving the luggage room rack 1, which further improves workability. In addition, as exemplified by the luggage room rack 1 and the additional rack 2, there is also the advantage that it is easy to configure the additional rack 2 that achieves the above-mentioned effects.

[0060] In addition, in the luggage compartment rack 1, the support leg 20 may be rod-shaped with one end being a connection end 21 connected to the connection portion 13 and the other end being a bottom portion 22 that contacts the floor surface 111 of the luggage compartment 110.

[0061] According to this luggage compartment rack 1, the support legs 20 have a simpler configuration, which is advantageous in reducing the manufacturing costs of the luggage compartment rack 1 and is also advantageous in terms of ease of installation and removal of the support legs 20 by the user.

[0062] Furthermore, in the luggage compartment rack 1, the connection end 21 of the support leg 20 may have a screw 21a and a screw hole 21b that engages the screw 21a along the axial direction of the support leg 20. The connection portion 13 of the rod-shaped portion 11 may have a through hole 13a that passes the screw 21a along the first direction D1.

[0063] According to this luggage compartment rack 1, a configuration can be easily realized in which the support leg 20 can be freely removed from the connection portion 13 in the first direction D1, and also in which the support leg 20 can be freely removed from the direction opposite to the first direction D1.

[0064] In addition, in the luggage compartment rack 1, the bottom portion 22 included in one of the three support legs 20 may have a hook-and-loop fastener 23 that is fixed to the interior trim laid on the floor surface 111 of the luggage compartment 110, or a plurality of protrusions that protrude toward the floor surface 111.

[0065] According to this luggage rack 1, the bottom surface portion 22 to which the hook-and-loop fastener 23 is attached is easily maintained in that position when in contact with the floor surface 111, so that the luggage rack 1 can be prevented from slipping sideways on the floor surface 111. On the other hand, in other words, the bottom surface of the other bottom surface portion 22 to which the hook-and-loop fastener 23 is not attached may be a simple metal surface or a synthetic resin surface. Therefore, the user can easily move the luggage rack 1 by moving the other bottom surface portion 22, which serves as a fulcrum, by gripping and lifting only the support leg 20 having the hook-and-loop fastener 23. On the other hand, one bottom surface portion 22 can also have multiple protrusions directly on the bottom surface instead of the hook-and-loop fastener 23, so that the luggage rack 1 can be easily caught by the interior decoration laid on the floor surface 111, so that the luggage rack 1 can be prevented from slipping sideways on the floor surface 111.

[0066] The luggage compartment rack 1 may also include three cushioning materials 30, one of which is disposed on a portion of each of the rod-shaped portions 11.

[0067] According to this luggage compartment rack 1, damage to luggage caused by vibrations of the vehicle 100 can be prevented, and luggage can be loaded more stably.

[0068] The luggage compartment rack 1 may also include two fixing belts 31 each wrapped around two of the three cushioning materials 30 .

[0069] With this luggage rack 1, luggage can be easily and reliably fixed to the buffer material 30. As in the above example, when the luggage is a bicycle 200, the down tube 212 can be wound integrally around the buffer material 30 arranged on the first rod-shaped portion 11a, and the top tube 211 can be wound integrally around the buffer material 30 arranged on the second rod-shaped portion 11b. In other words, luggage can be reliably fixed even if not all three buffer materials 30 are provided with fixing belts 31.

[0070] Although the embodiments have been described above, the embodiments can be modified or modified based on the above disclosure. All the components of the above embodiments and all the features described in the claims may be individually extracted and combined as long as they are not mutually inconsistent.
