Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fixing structure for a vehicle deck board. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, there is known a vehicle having a passenger compartment in which seats for passengers are arranged, and a luggage compartment arranged behind the passenger compartment. A deck board is usually arranged in the luggage compartment. For example, a deck board arranged in the luggage compartment has a structure as disclosed in Patent Document 1.

[0003] In the structure of the above example, side members such as interior members are arranged on both sides of the luggage compartment in the vehicle width direction. The side members are provided with support parts that protrude into the vehicle cabin and extend in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The sides of the deck board are placed on the support parts. In addition, the front part of the deck board can abut against the back of the seat, and the rear part of the deck board abuts against the lower part of the back door opening. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-54255 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, in the above example structure, the deck board is placed on supports provided on the side members, so the vertical movement of the deck board is not restricted. Also, because the front part of the deck board abuts against the seat, there is a possibility that the deck board may move in such a way that it presses against the back surface of the seat.

[0006] In addition, in a vehicle having the above-mentioned luggage compartment structure, when an impact load is applied due to a rear-end collision or the like, the side of the vehicle body may be deformed outward. For example, when an impact load is applied to the rear of the vehicle from behind, a member disposed in the rear of the vehicle may be deformed toward the inside of the vehicle cabin (the front side of the vehicle). In this case, in accordance with the deformation of the member, for example, a side body outer panel or the like disposed in the side of the vehicle may be deformed toward the outside of the vehicle (outside in the vehicle width direction).

[0007] When the side body outer panel or the like is deformed outward in the vehicle width direction, the inner panel, the side members, and other interior members may also be deformed outward in the vehicle width direction due to the deformation. In such a case, it may become impossible to maintain the state in which the deck board is placed on the support portion of the side member. Therefore, in the structure of the above example, there is room for improvement in terms of stably supporting the deck board on the side of the luggage compartment.

[0008] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a fixing structure for a vehicle deck board that can more stably support a deck board placed in a luggage compartment of a vehicle. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In order to achieve the above object, the fixing structure for a vehicle deck board of the present invention is a fixing structure for a vehicle deck board in which a deck board is fixed to a support part that is provided on a side of the vehicle and protrudes inward in the vehicle width direction, the fixing structure has a vehicle body structure that is arranged on the outside of the support part in the vehicle width direction and constitutes a vehicle body side part, a fixing member that is arranged on the upper side of the deck board and attached to the vehicle body structure, and a fixing belt connected to the fixing member, the deck board that is located more inward in the vehicle width direction than the support part has a through hole that penetrates through in the vertical direction of the vehicle, and the fixing belt extends from the fixing member toward the through hole and passes through the through hole to fix the deck board to the support part. Effect of the Invention

[0010] According to the present invention, it is possible to more stably support a deck board arranged in a luggage compartment of a vehicle. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0011] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view showing one embodiment of a fixing structure for a vehicle deck board according to the present invention. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of a portion of the quarter trim of FIG. 1. [Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. [Figure 4] FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view showing a modified example of the deck board of FIG. 3. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] Hereinafter, one embodiment of a fixing structure for a vehicle deck board according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings (FIGS. 1 to 4). In the drawings, the direction of the arrow Fr indicates the front in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. In the description of the embodiment, the "front (front end) and rear (rear end)" correspond to the front and rear in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Additionally, the arrows R and L indicate the right and left sides when an occupant looks forward of the vehicle. Additionally, the arrow U indicates the upward direction in the vertical direction of the vehicle.

[0013] The fixing structure of the vehicle deck board of this embodiment is a structure arranged on the side of the luggage compartment arranged at the rear of the vehicle. A vehicle having the fixing structure of the vehicle deck board is not a type of vehicle in which the passenger compartment and the luggage compartment are strictly separated, but a so-called wagon type vehicle in which the passenger compartment and the luggage compartment are arranged within a single vehicle compartment. For example, the luggage compartment of this embodiment is defined as a space behind the driver's seat or a space behind the rear seat. The fixing structure of the vehicle deck board will be described below.

[0014] In the fixing structure for a vehicle deck board of this embodiment, the deck board 10 is fixed to support parts 31, 32, 33 that are provided on the sides of the vehicle and protrude inward in the vehicle width direction. The fixing structure has a vehicle body structure (in this example, a support panel 5 described later) that is arranged outside the support parts 31, 32, 33 in the vehicle width direction and configures the vehicle body side part, a fixing member 40 that is arranged above the deck board 10 and attached to the vehicle body structure, and a fixing belt 20 that is connected to the fixing member 40. In addition, in this fixing structure, a board through hole 11 (through hole) that penetrates in the vehicle up-down direction is formed in the deck board 10 that is located inside the support parts 31, 32, 33 in the vehicle width direction, and the fixing belt 20 extends from the fixing member 40 toward the board through hole 11 and fixes the deck board 10 to the support parts 31, 32, 33 in a state where it penetrates the board through hole 11.

[0015] Fixing belts 20 and fixing members 40 constitute a restriction structure that restricts movement of deck board 10. Providing this restriction structure makes it possible to more stably support deck board 10. Below, a description will be given of the members and the like that constitute the fixing structure of the vehicle deck board.

[0016] First, the vehicle body structure will be described. The vehicle body structure is a panel disposed on the vehicle inner side of a side body outer panel (not shown) that constitutes the outermost part of the vehicle body, and the vehicle body structure in this example has a support panel 5 to which a fixing member 40 is engaged. The support panel 5 is a panel attached to a quarter inner panel 3 that is disposed on the vehicle width direction inner side of the side body outer panel.

[0017] The quarter inner panel 3 is a highly rigid part constituting the side of the vehicle body, and is made of a metal material. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the quarter inner panel 3 is a panel constituting the side of the vehicle body from the rear of the side door opening 6A to the outer side of the back door opening 7A in the vehicle width direction, and in this example, is arranged on the side of the luggage compartment. That is, the quarter inner panel 3 is a panel arranged so as to connect the rear pillar part 6 arranged at the rear of the side door opening 6A and the back pillar part 7 arranged at the outer side of the back door opening 7A in the vehicle width direction. In addition, a window opening 3a is provided at the upper part of the quarter inner panel 3.

[0018] The support panel 5 is disposed in the middle of the quarter inner panel 3 in the vertical direction of the vehicle, and is a panel extending, for example, in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and is made of a metal material. The support panel 5 is a highly rigid part capable of reinforcing the vehicle body side including the quarter inner panel 3, and may be joined to the inside of the quarter inner panel 3 in the vehicle width direction by, for example, spot welding. Note that although the joint between the quarter inner panel 3 and the support panel 5 is not shown in the drawings, the joint is not limited to spot welding and may be structured to be fastened by, for example, bolts, etc.

[0019] FIG. 3 shows a cross section taken along the line AA in FIG. 1, and shows a cross section of the support panel 5 as seen from the direction of the arrow. As shown in FIG. 3, the support panel 5 is provided with an engagement portion 5b with which the fixing member 40 can be engaged. As shown in FIG. 3, the engagement portion 5b has a concave shape that is concave in the vehicle width direction, and a panel through hole 5a is formed at the bottom of the concave shape. In addition, for example, a weld nut 48 is attached to the vehicle width direction outer side of the bottom of the concave shape of the support panel 5. That is, the weld nut 48 is welded to the back surface (the outer surface in the vehicle width direction) of the support panel 5. In addition, in FIG. 3, the direction indicated by the arrow R indicates the vehicle width direction outer side. A shaft portion 42 of the fixing member 40, which will be described later, can be screwed into the weld nut 48. The state in which the fixing member 40 is engaged with the engagement portion 5b will be described later.

[0020] 1 and 2, a quarter trim 30 is disposed on the inner side in the vehicle width direction of the quarter inner panel 3 and the support panel 5. The quarter trim 30 is made of a resin material and is an interior material that constitutes the side wall of the rear part of the vehicle compartment, in this example, the side wall of the luggage compartment.

[0021] 1, the quarter trim 30 of this embodiment has a plurality of support portions 31, 32, 33 that support the vehicle width direction outer portions of the deck board 10 that is arranged horizontally. In this example, three support portions, namely, a first support portion 31, a second support portion 32, and a third support portion 33, are arranged at intervals from one another in the vertical direction of the vehicle. In this example, the first support portion 31 will be described as an upper support portion, the second support portion 32 as a middle support portion, and the third support portion 33 as a lower support portion.

[0022] 2, first support portion 31 protrudes from main surface 35 of quarter trim 30 toward the inside of the vehicle (inside in the vehicle width direction) and extends in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle. Top surface portion 31c of first support portion 31 has a flat surface facing upward of the vehicle, which is a substantially horizontal surface in this example. An outer portion of the underside of deck board 10 is placed on top surface portion 31c.

[0023] The first support portion 31 is provided with a protruding portion 31a. The protruding portion 31a is provided on an upper surface portion 31c of the first support portion 31. In this example, the protruding portion 31a protrudes inward in the vehicle width direction from a main surface 35 of the quarter trim 30, and protrudes upward from the upper surface portion 31c of the first support portion 31. The protruding portion 31a has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape that is integrally formed with the main surface 35 and the upper surface portion 31c.

[0024] Convex portion 31a is disposed inside recesses 12, 13 (described later) of deck board 10, and thereby functions as a locking portion that locks the movement of deck board 10. Furthermore, convex portion 31a configured as a locking portion specifies the position of deck board 10 in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle. Note that main surface 35 of quarter trim 30 is a design surface that faces the vehicle interior.

[0025] The second support portion 32 and the third support portion 33 are formed in the same manner as the first support portion 31. That is, the upper surface portion 32c of the second support portion 32 is provided with a convex portion 32a, and the upper surface portion 33c of the third support portion 33 is provided with a convex portion 33a.

[0026] Further, the main surface 35 of the quarter trim 30 has holes 31b, 32b, and 33b. The holes 31b, 32b, and 33b are provided in the main surface 35 located above the upper surface portions 31c, 32c, and 33c of the first to third support portions 31, 32, and 33, respectively. As shown in Fig. 3, the hole portion 31b located above the upper surface portion 31c of the first support portion 31 is disposed in the main surface 35 located on the vehicle rear side and vehicle upper side of the protrusion 31a.

[0027] Similarly, the hole portion 32b located above the upper surface portion 32c of the second support portion 32 is provided in the main surface 35 located rearward and above the vehicle from the convex portion 32a, and the hole portion 33b located above the upper surface portion 33c of the third support portion 33 is provided in the main surface 35 located rearward and above the vehicle from the convex portion 33a.

[0028] For example, hole 31b located above top surface 31c of first support 31 has a circular opening provided in main surface 35 and has a predetermined depth. The inner wall of hole 31b is inclined radially inward as it moves outward in the vehicle width direction. The inner diameter of hole 31b is formed to become smaller as it moves outward in the vehicle width direction (toward the bottom of the hole in the depth direction).

[0029] Further, outside the opening of hole 31b in the vehicle width direction, hole 31b is formed in a hollow cylindrical shape extending outward in the vehicle width direction from the back surface (outer surface in the vehicle width direction) of main surface 35. That is, hole 31b has a cylindrical shape protruding outward in the vehicle width direction from the back side of main surface 35 when viewed from the outside in the vehicle width direction.

[0030] The outer end of the hole 31b in the vehicle width direction is a through hole. In this example, the hole 31b is a bottomless cylinder. The shaft 42 of the fixing member 40 is arranged to penetrate the hole 31b. The hole 31b is arranged inside the engaging portion 5b of the support panel 5 described above, and the outer end of the hole 31b in the vehicle width direction is arranged to face the bottom of the concave shape of the engaging portion 5b.

[0031] 1, the luggage compartment is divided into a space below and a space above deck board 10 by deck board 10 supported by first support portion 31. The bottom of the lower space may be formed by the rear floor panel.

[0032] Next, the deck board 10 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the deck board 10 is a plate-like member having an upper surface facing upward of the vehicle, and is formed of, for example, a resin material. The outer side of the deck board 10 in the vehicle width direction is supported by the support portions 31, 32, and 33 described above. In this example, the side of the deck board 10 is placed on the upper surface portions 31c, 32c, and 33c of the support portions 31, 32, and 33. The side of the deck board 10 is provided with recesses 12 and 13 that are recessed inward in the vehicle width direction. In this embodiment, the protrusions 31a provided on, for example, the first support portion 31 of the quarter trim 30 are inserted inside the recesses 12 and 13, and the outer side of the lower surface of the deck board 10 in the vehicle width direction is supported in a state of being placed on the upper surface portion 31c of the first support portion 31, and the deck board 10 is supported by the first support portion 31.

[0033] Note that two recesses (front recess 12 and rear recess 13) are provided on one outer side in the vehicle width direction of deck board 10 of this embodiment, and front recess 12 and rear recess 13 are arranged at a distance from each other in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle. The position of deck board 10 in the front-to-rear direction is determined by engaging one of front recess 12 and rear recess 13 with protrusion 31a. In other words, the front end of deck board 10 of this embodiment can be positioned at two positions.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a board through hole 11 that penetrates in the up-down direction is formed in the outer portion in the vehicle width direction on the upper surface of deck board 10. Board through hole 11 is arranged adjacent to the rear side of front recess 12 and arranged forward of rear recess 13. In this embodiment, board through hole 11 is arranged between front recess 12 and rear recess 13, closer to front recess 12 than rear recess 13. Board through hole 11 is generally quadrangular in shape, and is, for example, generally rectangular in shape constituted by two sides extending in the vehicle front-rear direction and two sides extending in the vehicle width direction.

[0035] Each edge of the outer and inner parts in the vehicle width direction of the board through hole 11 has a curved shape 11a. The curved shape 11a of the outer part in the vehicle width direction of the board through hole 11 curves downward from the surface of the deck board 10 located on the outer side of the board through hole 11 in the vehicle width direction toward the inner side in the vehicle width direction, and is connected to the inner wall surface of the board through hole 11. Similarly, the curved shape 11a of the inner part in the vehicle width direction of the board through hole 11 curves downward from the surface of the deck board 10 located on the inner side of the board through hole 11 in the vehicle width direction toward the outer side in the vehicle width direction, and is connected to the inner wall surface of the board through hole 11.

[0036] A fixing belt 20 is inserted through the board through hole 11. Providing the curved shape 11a makes it possible to prevent the fixing belt 20 from bending at the edge of the board through hole 11. The structure for fixing the position of the deck board 10 by the fixing belt 20 or the like will be described later.

[0037] Next, the fixing member 40 will be described. The fixing member 40 in this embodiment is a so-called eye bolt, and is a member disposed so as to penetrate through the hole 31b of the quarter trim 30, as shown in Fig. 3. The fixing member 40 has a shaft portion 42 extending in the vehicle width direction, a cylindrical portion 44 surrounding the shaft portion 42 from the radially outer side, an annular portion provided on the vehicle width direction inner side of the cylindrical portion 44, and a plate rotatably attached to the vehicle width direction inner side of the cylindrical portion 44.

[0038] The shaft portion 42 is a long columnar shape, and a screw groove is formed on the outer peripheral surface. The cylindrical portion 44 has a hollow cylindrical shape formed so as to surround the shaft portion 42 from the radially outer side. The shaft portion 42 protrudes outward in the vehicle width direction from the outer end of the cylindrical portion 44 in the vehicle width direction. The cylindrical portion 44 is inserted so as to fit into the hole portion 31b. That is, the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 44 is in close contact with the inner wall surface of the hole portion 31b (FIG. 3). In this example, the outer portion of the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 44 in the vehicle width direction is in close contact with the inner wall of the hole portion 31b. The annular portion 43 is a portion provided at the end (outer end in the vehicle width direction) of the shaft portion 42, and has an annular ring penetrating in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the shaft portion 42. For example, the annular portion 43 can be used to hang a hook or the like.

[0039] The fixing member 40 is engaged with the engaging portion 5b of the support panel 5. In this example, the shaft portion 42 of the fixing member 40 passes through the panel through-hole 5a provided at the bottom of the engaging portion 5b and is screwed into a welded nut 48 welded to the engaging portion 5b, thereby engaging the fixing member 40 with the engaging portion 5b of the support panel 5. For example, when an occupant pinches the annular portion 43 and rotates it around the axis of the shaft portion 42, the shaft portion 42 is screwed into the welded nut 48, whereby the fixing member 40 is inserted so as to fit inside the hole portion 31b.

[0040] The plate 45 has an attachment portion 45a attached to the inner end of the cylindrical portion 44 in the vehicle width direction, and a belt connection portion 45c to which the fixing belt 20 is connected. The attachment portion 45a is, for example, a rectangular plate-like shape, and has a through hole 45b formed therein. The shaft portion 42 passes through the through hole 45b, and an end face of the inner end of the annular portion 43 in the vehicle width direction abuts against one face (inner surface in the vehicle width direction) of the attachment portion 45a. In addition, the other face (outer surface in the vehicle width direction) of the attachment portion 45a abuts against an end face of the outer end of the cylindrical portion 44 in the vehicle width direction. In addition, the attachment portion 45a is attached so as to be rotatable around the shaft portion 42.

[0041] The belt connection part 45c is a plate-like part extending from one end of the mounting part 45a at an obtuse angle with respect to the surface of the mounting part 45a. In this example, as shown in Fig. 3, the belt connection part 45c extends from the lower end of the mounting part 45a at an incline downwardly of the vehicle as it moves inward in the vehicle width direction. The fixing belt 20 is attached to the belt connection part 45c in a detachable manner, for example.

[0042] Fixing belt 20 extends downwardly from belt connection portion 45c of plate 45 of fixing member 40 toward the inside in the vehicle width direction, and is inserted through board through hole 11. Fixing belt 20 that has been inserted through board through hole 11 extends along the underside of deck board 10 toward the inside in the vehicle width direction.

[0043] Although not shown in the figures, in this embodiment, the support panels 5 are disposed on both sides in the width direction of the vehicle body, and the fixing members 40 are attached to the support panels 5 on both sides. Furthermore, the board through holes 11 of the deck board 10 are formed on both sides in the vehicle width direction. Both longitudinal ends of the fixing belts 20 are attached to the plates 45 of the fixing members 40 on both sides.

[0044] Furthermore, fastening belt 20 located between board through holes 11 on both sides is disposed on the lower side of deck board 10 and extends in the vehicle width direction. For example, fastening belt 20 may be disposed in a state in which it is in contact with the lower surface of deck board 10. Further, fastening belt 20 located on the lower side of deck board 10 is provided with an adjuster (not shown) so that the tension of fastening belt 20 can be adjusted. For example, the adjuster can increase or decrease the tension that fastening belt 20 applies to belt connection portion 45c.

[0045] Furthermore, fixing member 40 of this embodiment may have abutment portion 44a that can abut against the upper surface of deck board 10. In this case, abutment portion 44a may be inclined upward as it moves inward in the vehicle width direction. In this embodiment, abutment portion 44a is formed on the inner portion in the vehicle width direction of the outer circumferential surface of cylindrical portion 44. Abutment portion 44a is formed so as to expand radially outward as it moves outward in the vehicle width direction. In other words, a diameter of abutment portion 44a is formed so as to increase as it moves outward in the vehicle width direction.

[0046] The abutment portion 44a in this embodiment can press the edge of the board through hole 11 on the outer side in the vehicle width direction from above. This prevents the deck board 10 from floating up towards the upper side of the vehicle. For example, when the tension of the fixing belt 20 is increased by the adjuster, a load is applied to the fixing belt 20 that presses the edge on the lower side of the board through hole 11 upward. In other words, the fixing belt 20 applies a force to the deck board 10 that tries to push the deck board 10 upward. On the other hand, as described above, the abutment portion 44a presses the deck board 10 downward. Therefore, the deck board 10 is pressed against the abutment portion 44a, and movement of the deck board 10 in the up and down direction is restricted.

[0047] Because the board through holes 11 are arranged side by side in the width direction, deck board 10 can easily move in the vehicle width direction along fastening belts 20. In contrast, by providing abutment portion 44a, it becomes possible for abutment portion 44a to press against deck board 10 when deck board 10 moves in the vehicle width direction. As a result, it becomes possible to effectively restrict movement of deck board 10 in the vehicle width direction.

[0048] Furthermore, in this example, the width (length in the vehicle fore-and-aft direction) of fixing belt 20 approximately corresponds to the length of board through hole 11 in the vehicle fore-and-aft direction. Moreover, the width (length in the vehicle fore-and-aft direction) of belt connection portion 45c also approximately corresponds to the length of board through hole 11 in the vehicle fore-and-aft direction. With this configuration, it is possible to restrict movement of deck board 10 in the vehicle fore-and-aft direction.

[0049] As described above, according to this embodiment, it is possible to effectively restrict movement of deck board 10 in the up-down direction, the vehicle width direction, and the front-rear direction of the vehicle.

[0050] Since the fixing belts 20 extending from the fixing members 40 are fixed to the deck board 10 by being inserted through the board through holes 11, it is possible for the fixing belts 20 to restrict movement of the deck board 10. Furthermore, even when luggage or the like is placed on the deck board 10, that is, when the deck board 10 is being used in the luggage compartment, it is possible for the fixing members 40 and the fixing belts 20 to restrict movement of the deck board 10.

[0051] For example, when an impact load acts on the vehicle from behind, a tailgate (not shown) or the like located at the rear of the vehicle may deform toward the vehicle cabin. In response to the deformation of the tailgate or the like, the side body outer panel, the quarter inner panel 3, the support panel 5, and the like located at the sides of the vehicle may deform outward in the vehicle width direction. As the support panel 5 and the like deform outward in the vehicle width direction, the quarter trim 30 may also deform, which may cause the deck board 10 to become unlocked.

[0052] In contrast, in this embodiment, by providing a restriction structure constituted by fixing member 40, fixing belt 20, etc., even if the above-mentioned outward deformation occurs, it is possible to suppress deformation of the vehicle side structure by having the side portion of plate 45 of fixing member 40 abut against the inner wall surface of board through hole 11 of deck board 10. As a result, it is possible to suppress release of the locking of deck board 10, making it possible to more stably support deck board 10 placed in the luggage compartment of the vehicle.

[0053] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the board through-hole 11 and the fixing member 40 are arranged side by side in the vehicle width direction. For example, if the board through-hole 11 is arranged shifted toward the front or rear of the vehicle with respect to the fixing member 40, when the tension acting on the fixing belt 20 in the vehicle width direction increases, the fixing belt 20 may generate a force that tends to move the deck board 10 toward the front or rear of the vehicle.

[0054] In contrast, when board through holes 11 and fixing members 40 are arranged as described above, even if the tension of fixing belts 20 increases excessively, it is possible to fix deck board 10 to, for example, upper surface portion 31c of first support portion 31 in a state in which movement of deck board 10 in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle is restricted. As a result, movement of deck board 10 can be effectively restricted.

[0055] Deck board 10 of this embodiment may also have a protruding portion 15 that protrudes towards and is configured to be able to press against abutment portion 44a. For example, as shown in Fig. 4, protruding portion 15 that protrudes upward may be provided on the upper surface of board through hole 11 on the outer side in the vehicle width direction, so that protruding portion 15 presses against abutment portion 44a. With this configuration, deck board 10 and, for example, upper surface portion 31c of first support portion 31 are effectively brought into close contact with each other, making it possible to suppress movement of deck board 10 in the up and down direction.

[0056] 4, the protruding portion 15 is disposed on the outer side in the vehicle width direction of the board through hole 11. As a result, the protruding portion 15 is provided at a position close to the abutting portion 44a, so that the protruding portion 15 can effectively press the abutting portion 44a.

[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, mounting portion 45a of plate 45 is rotatably attached. By making plate 45 rotatable with respect to shaft portion 42 of fixing member 40, even when fixing member 40 is engaged with engaging portion 5b while being rotated, fixing belt 20 can be engaged with engaging portion 5b without twisting. As a result, breaking of fixing belt 20 can be suppressed. Furthermore, this configuration can also accommodate a case where deck board 10 is temporarily moved slightly by releasing the engagement between front recess 12 and protrusion 31a of deck board 10, for example.

[0058] Furthermore, since fixing belts 20 are attached to fixing members 40 on both sides, the tension can be easily adjusted. Therefore, fixing belts 20 that pass through board through holes 11 can effectively restrict the movement of deck board 10.

[0059] The description of the present embodiment is merely an example for explaining the present invention, and does not limit the invention described in the claims. Furthermore, the configuration of each part of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the technical scope described in the claims.

[0060] Also, in this embodiment, one fixing belt 20 is attached to the fixing members 40 on both sides, but this is not limited to this. For example, a belt fixing portion may be provided on the underside of the deck board 10, and the inner end in the vehicle width direction of the fixing belt 20 attached to one of the fixing members 40 may be fixed to the belt fixing portion. In this case, the inner end in the vehicle width direction of the two fixing belts 20 may be connected to an adjuster capable of adjusting the tension.

[0061] Furthermore, protruding portion 15 is provided on the upper surface of deck board 10, but this is not limited to the above. For example, a protruding portion may be provided so as to protrude downward from the lower surface of deck board 10, and a configuration may be adopted in which contact portion 44a is pressed by the upper surface of deck board 10. Furthermore, protruding portion 15 may be a separate member from deck board 10, and separate protruding portion 15 may be bonded to the upper surface of deck board 10, for example.

[0062] Although the vehicle body structure is the support panel 5, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the quarter inner panel 3 may be used as the vehicle body structure, and a structure for screwing the fixing member 40 may be provided. [Explanation of symbols]
