Each figure will be described with the arrow direction F as the forward direction, the arrow direction B as the rearward direction, the arrow direction U as the upward direction, the arrow direction D as the downward direction, the arrow direction L as the leftward direction, and the arrow direction R as the rightward direction.

[0014] As shown in Fig. 1, an automobile 1 includes a passenger compartment 2 in which passengers ride, and a luggage compartment 3 arranged behind the passenger compartment 2 to accommodate items such as luggage. The luggage compartment 3 is located behind a rear seat 2A of the passenger compartment 2. The luggage compartment 3 includes an opening 5 that opens to the outside of the luggage compartment, and items can be loaded and unloaded through the opening 5 by opening a rear gate (not shown). The luggage compartment 3 includes two side walls 4 (the left side wall is not shown) that form walls on both the left and right sides (both sides in the vehicle width direction), and a support structure 100 for a vehicle deck board arranged between the two side walls 4.

[0015] The support structure 100 includes a plate-shaped deck board (vehicle deck board) 30, a first support part 10 that supports one end part (end part) 31 of the deck board 30, and a second support part 20 that supports the other end part (end part opposite to the end part) 32 of the deck board 30. The first support part 10 is disposed in front of the luggage compartment 3 and behind the rear seat 2A, and is a structure that extends in the vehicle width direction. The second support part 20 is disposed in the rear of the luggage compartment 3 and behind the first support part 10, and is a structure that extends in the vehicle width direction. The second support part 20 constitutes a part of the opening 5.

[0016] As shown in Fig. 2, deck board 30 includes an upper surface 30A, a lower surface 30B, an upwardly oriented inclined surface 30C that constitutes an end face at one end 31 of deck board 30, connects upper surface 30A and lower surface 30B, and is oriented upward, and a curved surface 30D that constitutes an end face at the other end 32 of deck board 30 and is rounded in cross section. Upwardly oriented inclined surface 30C inclines rearward as it extends upward. One end 31 of deck board 30 is pointed in such a way that its length (thickness) in the up-down direction becomes thinner as it extends forward. A tip 31A of one end 31 is disposed on the side of lower surface 30B.

[0017] Between the first support portion 10 and the second support portion 20, there is disposed a recess 40 that opens upward. The recess 40 includes a bottom wall portion 41 that extends in the front-rear direction and the vehicle width direction, and step-shaped upright wall portions 42, 43 that rise from both the front and rear of the bottom wall portion 41. The first support portion 10 is continuous with the front upright wall portion 42. The second support portion 20 is continuous with the rear upright wall portion 43. The recess 40 can accommodate items by placing them on the bottom wall portion 41.

[0018] The support structure 100 of the deck board 30 can be changed between an upper support state in which one end 31 of the deck board 30 is supported by the first support portion 10 and the other end 32 is supported by the second support portion 20, and a lower support state in which one end 31 of the deck board 30 is supported by the front rising wall portion 42 and the other end 32 is supported by the rear rising wall portion 43. In the upper support state, the opening of the recess 40 is closed. In this state, the luggage compartment 3 is divided into an upper luggage compartment 3A located above the deck board 30 and a lower luggage compartment (storage room) 3B located below the deck board 30 and which is a space surrounded by the deck board 30 and the recess 40. In addition, the upper surface 30A of the deck board 30 is flush with an upper surface 14A of an edge portion 13 (described later) of the first support portion 10 and an upper surface 21 of the second support portion 20. In the lower support state, deck board 30 is disposed inside recess 40, making the space of upper luggage compartment 3A larger and the space of lower luggage compartment 3B smaller than in the upper support state.

[0019] The first support part 10 comprises a main body part 11 which constitutes the majority of the body, an attachment part 12 arranged at the lower part of the main body part 11 and attached to a body panel (body) 60 which constitutes the sheet metal of the automobile 1 via an attachment member 50 such as a clip, and an edge part 13 which constitutes the edge of the main body part 11 on the inside (rear) side of the luggage compartment.

[0020] 3, edge 13 extends in the front-to-rear direction (toward the interior and exterior of the luggage compartment) and includes upper surface 14A that is flush with upper surface 30A of deck board 30 in the upper support state, and first downwardly oriented inclined surface 14B that slopes forward (toward the exterior of the luggage compartment) as it extends downward from first tip 15A located at the rear end of upper surface 14A and is oriented downward (more specifically, downwardly and rearward). First tip 15A is the end portion of first downwardly oriented inclined surface 14B on the luggage compartment interior side.

[0021] Additionally, edge portion 13 is connected to end portion (recess) 15B of first downwardly inclined surface 14B on the outer side of the luggage compartment, and is provided with support surface 14C extending in the front-to-rear direction in the direction in which upper surface 14A extends. Support surface 14C is a surface capable of supporting lower surface 30B of deck board 30 in the upper support state. Second tip portion 15C (end portion on the luggage compartment inner side of the support surface) disposed at the rear end of support surface 14C is located rearward (toward the luggage compartment inner side) than first tip portion 15A, and protrudes rearward.

[0022] Furthermore, the edge portion 13 is provided with a second downwardly oriented inclined surface 14D that is inclined toward the front as it goes downward from the second tip portion 15C and is oriented downward (more specifically, downward and rearward). The second downwardly oriented inclined surface 14D extends in a direction along the first downwardly oriented inclined surface 14B and is a surface that extends downward and rearward beyond the first downwardly oriented inclined surface 14B. The second downwardly oriented inclined surface 14D is continuous with the front rising wall portion 42 of the recess 40.

[0023] 2, the second support portion 20 includes an upper surface 21, a rising lower surface 22 rising from an end (front end) of the upper surface 21 facing the interior of the luggage compartment, and a support surface 23 extending from a lower end of the rising lower surface 22 toward the interior of the luggage compartment (forward). The support surface 23 is continuous with a rear rising wall portion 43 of the recess 40. The second support portion 20 also includes an attachment portion 24 disposed at a lower portion thereof, which is attached to the body panel 61 via an attachment member 50.

[0024] 2 and 3, in the upper support state, at one end 31 of the deck board 30, the underside 30B is supported in contact with the support surface 14C and the upwardly oriented inclined surface 30C faces the downwardly oriented inclined surface 14B, and the one end 31 of the deck board 30 is supported by the edge portion 13 of the first support portion 10. At this time, the upwardly oriented inclined surface 30C may be in contact with the downwardly oriented inclined surface 14B. Moreover, at the other end 32 of the deck board 30, the underside 30B is supported in contact with the support surface 23 and the other end 32 of the deck board 30 is supported by the second support portion 20, with the curved surface 30D facing the vertical lower surface 22.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 4, the first support part 10 can swing around the mounting part 12 so that the downwardly inclined surface 14B becomes more inclined. The edge part 13 of the first support part 10 can rotate around the mounting part 12 in the direction of the arrow P or in the opposite direction to the arrow P. In FIG. 4, the swinging first support part 10 is shown by a solid line and a two-dot chain line. The first support part 10 shown by the solid line shows a state in which the edge part 13 has rotated in the direction of the arrow P from the state of the first support part 10 shown by the two-dot chain line. If a line extending horizontally is taken as a horizontal line H, the angle between the downwardly inclined surface 14B and the horizontal line H is changed by the swing. For example, when an article is placed on deck board 30 and a downward force is applied from one end 31 to edge 13 (when a downward force is applied from underside 30B to support surface 14C), edge 13 of first support part 10 rotates in the direction of arrow P, changing the angle between downwardly oriented inclined surface 14B and horizontal line H from θ1 to θ2 which is smaller than θ1 (downwardly oriented inclined surface 14B becomes more inclined). On the other hand, when an article placed on deck board 30 is removed, the force applied from underside 30B to support surface 14C decreases and upwardly oriented inclined surface 30C pushes up downwardly oriented inclined surface 14B, causing edge 13 to rotate in the opposite direction of arrow P, and the angle between downwardly oriented inclined surface 14B and horizontal line H changes from θ2 to θ1 which is larger than θ2.

[0026] Next, the effects of this embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, a support structure 100 for a deck board 30 is shown, in which the end 31 of the deck board 30 is supported by the first support portion 10, the deck board 30 includes an upper surface 30A, a lower surface 30B, and an upwardly oriented inclined surface 30C that constitutes an end surface of the deck board 30, connects the upper surface 30A and the lower surface 30B, and is oriented upward, the first support portion 10 includes a downwardly oriented inclined surface 14B that is oriented downward, and a support surface 14C that is connected to the downwardly oriented inclined surface 14B and can support the lower surface 30B of the deck board 30, and the end 31 of the deck board 30 is supported by the first support portion 10 in a state in which the lower surface 30B of the deck board 30 is supported by the support surface 14C and the upwardly oriented inclined surface 30C faces the downwardly oriented inclined surface 14B.

[0027] According to such support structure 100 for deck board 30, even if an article is placed on deck board 30 and a force that would cause deck board 30 to bend is applied, upwardly directional inclined surface 30C abuts against and braces downwardly directional inclined surface 14B, thereby preventing underside 30B from lifting up from support surface 14C. As a result, end portion 31 of deck board 30 is supported so as to be in close contact with first support portion 10, thereby preventing deck board 30 from bending.

[0028] Deck board 30 is disposed in luggage compartment 3 of automobile 1, and the end of support surface 14C facing the luggage compartment is located further inward than the end of downwardly inclined surface 14B facing the luggage compartment.

[0029] According to such a support structure 100 for deck board 30, the area of ​​support surface 14C that supports underside 30B of deck board 30 is increased, thereby further suppressing deflection of deck board 30. Also, underside 30B of deck board 30 is less likely to fall off support surface 14C. Furthermore, underside 30B of deck board 30 can be more easily brought into contact with support surface 14C, making it easier to insert end 31 of deck board 30 between downwardly inclined surface 14B and support surface 14C.

[0030] The first support portion 10 includes a mounting portion 12 that is attached to a body 60 of the automobile 1, and is capable of swinging about the mounting portion 12 so that the downwardly directed inclined surface 14B becomes more inclined.

[0031] According to such support structure 100 for deck board 30, even if deck board 30 bends and the position or orientation of end 31 shifts, downwardly oriented inclined surface 14B of first support part 10 swings around mounting part 12 to follow this and become more inclined. This keeps upwardly oriented inclined surface 30C in contact with downwardly oriented inclined surface 14B, further preventing lower surface 30B from lifting up from support surface 14C, and enables end 31 of deck board 30 to come into close contact with first support part 10. This ensures support of end 31 of deck board 30 by first support part 10, and further prevents deflection of deck board 30.

[0032] The deck board 30 has an opposite end 32 to its end 31 supported by a second support part 20, the first support part 10 being arranged at the front side of the luggage compartment 3 of the automobile 1, and the second support part 20 being arranged at the rear side of the luggage compartment 3 of the automobile 1.

[0033] With this configuration, it is possible to insert end portion 31 of deck board 30 between downwardly inclined surface 14B and support surface 14C from the rear of the luggage compartment 3, resulting in a practical support structure 100 for deck board 30.

Furthermore, in addition to the embodiments described below, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure.

[0035] (1) In addition to the above embodiment, the positions of the first support part and the second support part can be changed as appropriate. For example, one of the first support part and the second support part may be disposed on the right side wall part of the luggage compartment, and the other may be disposed on the left side wall part of the luggage compartment. Also, the second support part may be disposed on the front side of the luggage compartment, and the first support part may be disposed on the rear side of the luggage compartment.

[0036] (2) In addition to the above-described embodiment, the configuration of the vehicle deck board may be modified as appropriate. The vehicle deck board may include a hinge portion extending in the vehicle width direction and may be configured to be foldable at the hinge portion. In addition, the outer shape and thickness of the vehicle deck board may be modified as appropriate.
