Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a light truck with a hood cover that can combine cargo carrying functionality with overnight stay functionality. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventional proposals for light trucks with canopy covers include a "canopy device for freight vehicles" (Patent Document 1), which allows the height of the canopy device to be adjusted so that the truck can pass through tunnels, underpasses, or factory entrances with height restrictions without any problems.

[0003] However, while the proposal for the "canopy device for freight vehicles" allows the height of the canopy to be freely adjusted to allow passage through areas with height restrictions and to facilitate loading and unloading of cargo, it does not include a function that allows the canopy device itself to be removed or disassembled and stored, as in the present invention.

[0004] In addition, a "mounting structure for a hood frame in a freight vehicle" (Patent Document 2) has been proposed, which has a base frame that allows the hood frame's supports to be stably and firmly erected on the floor of the loading platform, and the base frame can be simply and easily attached and detached from the floor of the loading platform.

[0005] However, in the proposed "mounting structure for a hood frame in a freight vehicle," the horizontal and rising rods had to be inserted into mounting brackets fixed to the floor of the vehicle's loading platform, which not only got in the way when loading luggage and hindered work, but also required the work of fixing them.

[0006] In addition, a "truck canopy support device" (Patent Document 3) has been proposed that reduces the burden on workers during rainy weather and other times without incurring costs or effort by turning the canopy at the rear of the truck into a roof, while also eliminating the need to carry equipment such as protective sheets.

[0007] However, although the proposal for the "truck canopy support device" was a proposal to turn the canopy at the rear of the truck into a roof in rainy weather, thereby preventing the vehicle from getting wet when loading and unloading luggage, it was not a proposal for a light truck with a canopy cover that could combine cargo loading functionality with the functionality of sleeping in the vehicle, as in the present invention.

[0008] The present invention was conceived based on the idea of ​​providing a light truck with a canopy cover that can combine cargo loading functions and overnight camping functions compared to conventional light trucks with canopy covers. This led to the development of a light truck with a canopy cover that can combine cargo loading functions and overnight camping functions, and to the proposal of the ``light truck with canopy cover'' in this invention.
