[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-2398 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, the above-mentioned prior art has room for improvement in terms of suppressing vibration of the tool (vehicle accessory) while the vehicle is running and in terms of operability when opening the lid.

[0005] In consideration of the above facts, the present invention aims to provide a vehicle accessory fixing structure that can suppress vibration of vehicle accessories when the vehicle is running and can improve operability when opening the lid. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The vehicle accessory fixing structure of the first embodiment comprises: a floor carpet that is laid on the upper side of the vehicle floor, has a lid that can be opened and closed by a cut, and has a through hole formed in a portion of the free end side of the lid; a strap that is formed in a long shape and is used to restrain vehicle accessories that are placed between the vehicle floor and the lid, has one end connected to the back side of the portion of the floor carpet opposite the base end side of the lid with respect to the free end of the lid when the lid is closed, passes through the vehicle underside of the vehicle accessory and passes through the through hole, and has a grip portion formed on the other end; and a hook-and-loop fastener that is provided on the other end side of the strap and on an attachment portion set on the surface side of the portion of the floor carpet opposite the base end side of the lid with respect to the free end of the lid when the lid is closed, and allows the other end side of the strap to be attached and detached to the attachment portion.

[0007] According to a first aspect of the vehicle accessory fastening structure, a floor carpet is laid on the vehicle upper side of the vehicle floor, and a lid that can be opened and closed by a slit is formed on the floor carpet, and a through-hole is formed in a portion of the free end side of the lid. A long strap is used to restrain a vehicle accessory placed between the vehicle floor and the lid, and one end of the strap is connected to the back side of a portion of the floor carpet opposite the base end side of the lid with respect to the free end of the lid when the lid is closed. The strap passes under the vehicle accessory and passes through the through-hole, and a grip portion is formed on the other end of the strap. Furthermore, a hook-and-loop fastener is provided on the other end side of the strap and on an attachment portion set on the surface side of the portion of the floor carpet opposite the base end side of the lid with respect to the free end of the lid when the lid is closed, and the hook-and-loop fastener makes the other end side of the strap detachable from the attachment portion.

[0008] Therefore, with the vehicle accessory placed between the vehicle floor and the lid, the gripping portion at the other end of the strap is pulled toward the attached portion of the floor carpet and the other end of the strap is attached to the attached portion with a hook-and-loop fastener, thereby securing the vehicle accessory. Also, if the gripping portion is pulled up when the other end of the strap is attached to the attached portion of the floor carpet with the hook-and-loop fastener, the attachment by the hook-and-loop fastener is released and the other end of the strap is detached from the attached portion, allowing the lid to be opened. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] As described above, the vehicle accessory fixing structure has the excellent effect of being able to suppress vibration of the vehicle accessory while the vehicle is running, and also being able to improve the operability when opening the lid. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] A vehicle accessory fastening structure according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 shows a simplified longitudinal cross-sectional view of the vehicle accessory fastening structure according to this embodiment. For convenience, in Fig. 1, the cross sections of each member are shown with thick lines without thickness, and to make the drawing easier to see, the parts where the members are in contact with each other are shown slightly separated as appropriate. In Fig. 1, the arrow FR indicates the front side of the vehicle, and the arrow UP indicates the upper side of the vehicle (the same applies to Figs. 2A and 2B).

[0012] 1, a front portion 10F on the front side in the vehicle longitudinal direction is one step higher than a rear portion 10R on the rear side in the vehicle longitudinal direction. The front portion 10F and the rear portion 10R are connected by an inclined portion 10S that is inclined downward toward the rear of the vehicle. A first floor reinforcement 12 is disposed on the upper surface of the front portion 10F of the vehicle floor 10, and a second floor reinforcement 14 is disposed on the upper surface of the rear portion 10R of the vehicle floor 10. The first floor reinforcement 12 and the second floor reinforcement 14 extend in the vehicle width direction, have a hat-shaped cross section in a side view of the vehicle, and protrude convexly upward toward the vehicle, with flange portions joined to the vehicle floor 10 by spot welding or the like.

[0013] As an example, the vehicle equipment 50, which is a tool or the like (shown as a block in the drawing for convenience), is mounted between the inclined portion 10S of the vehicle floor 10 and the second floor reinforcement 14. In this embodiment, the vehicle equipment 50 is disposed on the lower side of the vehicle behind the vehicle seat 18 (only the outline is shown by a two-dot chain line in the drawing). Note that, as an example, the vehicle equipment 50 to be disposed includes multiple components, but may also be a single component.

[0014] A floor carpet 20 is laid on the vehicle floor 10 on the upper side of the vehicle. FIG. 2A is a simplified perspective view of a portion of the floor carpet 20 and its surrounding area. As shown in FIG. 2A, a lid 24 that can be opened and closed by a slit 22 is formed in the floor carpet 20. The lid 24 is sometimes referred to as a cover. FIG. 2B shows a simplified example of the lid 24 in an open state. As shown in FIG. 2A, the slit 22 is formed in a substantially U-shape that is open toward the rear of the vehicle in a plan view.

[0015] 2A and 2B, a through-hole 24H is formed in a portion of the free end 24A side of the lid 24. The through-hole 24H is formed in the middle portion of the lid 24 in the width direction, and is a slit-shaped hole whose longitudinal direction is along the extension direction of the free end 24A of the lid 24.

[0016] 1, the vehicle accessory fastening structure of this embodiment has a strap 30 for restraining a vehicle accessory 50, which is disposed between the vehicle floor 10 and the lid 24. The strap 30 is formed in a long, band-like shape. One end 30A of the strap 30 is joined by sewing to the back side of a portion of the floor carpet 20 on the opposite side (here, the front side of the vehicle) from the base end 24B side of the lid 24 with respect to the free end 24A of the lid 24 when the lid 24 is closed.

[0017] The strap 30 also passes under the vehicle of the vehicle accessory 50 and through the through-hole 24H. A grip portion 32 is formed at the other end 30B of the strap 30. The grip portion 32 is sometimes referred to as a handle. FIG. 3A shows a perspective view of a portion of the strap 30 including the other end 30B. FIG. 3B shows a perspective view of the portion of the strap 30 on the grip portion 32 side that has passed through the through-hole 24H of the lid 24, viewed in a state different from that shown in FIG. 3A.

[0018] 3A and 3B, in one example of strap 30, a tip side constituent 30T is joined by sewing to a tip end 30M1 of a main body portion (a portion constituting from one end 30A (see FIG. 1) to a part on the other end 30B side) 30M that constitutes the majority of strap 30. Tip end 30M1 of main body portion 30M is folded over and overlapped, and a base end 30T1 of tip side constituent 30T is sewn to the overlapped portion.

[0019] Furthermore, the tip side constituent 30T is folded back to fit the tip of the main body portion 30M, and is sewn to the tip portion 30M1 of the main body portion 30M so as to maintain this folded state (see sewn portion S1 in FIGS. 1 and 2A). In other words, the tip side constituent 30T is sewn to the tip portion 30M1 of the main body portion 30M so as to be able to stand on its own in that position (see FIG. 1). The tip side constituent 30T is bent and sewn so as to form a loop, and this loop-shaped portion forms the grip portion 32. As shown in FIG. 1, the upper end position of the grip portion 32 is set to a position higher than the lid 24 in the closed state so that the position of the grip portion 32 can be easily seen even when viewed from the rear side of the vehicle interior.

[0020] As shown in Figures 3A and 3B, a hook-and-loop fastener 38 is provided on the surface of the other end 30B side of the strap 30, more specifically, the base end 30T1 of the tip-side component 30T, opposite the tip end 30M1 side of the main body 30M. Also, as shown in Figure 2A, an attachment portion 26 is set on the surface of the floor carpet 20 on the side opposite the base end 24B side of the lid 24 with respect to the free end 24A of the lid 24 when the lid 24 is closed, and a hook-and-loop fastener 40 (see Figure 2B) is provided on this attachment portion 26. The hook-and-loop fastener 38 and the hook-and-loop fastener 40 form a pair. One of the pair of hook-and-loop fasteners 38, 40 is a male hook-and-loop fastener (a hook-and-loop fastener with male naps embedded), and the other of the pair of hook-and-loop fasteners 38, 40 is a female hook-and-loop fastener (a hook-and-loop fastener with female naps embedded). As a result, the hook-and-loop fasteners 38 and 40 allow the other end 30B side of the strap 30 to be attached to the attachment portion 26 and detached therefrom.

[0021] Next, the operation and effects of this embodiment will be described.

[0022] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1, a floor carpet 20 is laid on the vehicle upper side of a vehicle floor 10. As shown in Fig. 2A, the floor carpet 20 has a lid 24 formed therein that can be opened and closed by a slit 22, and a through-hole 24H is formed in a portion of the free end 24A side of the lid 24. Also, as shown in Fig. 1, a long strap 30 is used to restrain a vehicle item 50 disposed between the vehicle floor 10 and the lid 24. One end 30A of the strap 30 is connected to the back side of a portion of the floor carpet 20 opposite the base end 24B side of the lid 24 with respect to the free end 24A of the lid 24 when the lid 24 is closed. The strap 30 passes under the vehicle side of the vehicle item 50 and passes through the through-hole 24H, and a grip portion 32 is formed at the other end 30B of the strap 30. Furthermore, hook-and-loop fasteners 38, 40 are provided on the portion of the strap 30 on the other end 30B side shown in Figure 2A and on the attachment portion 26 set on the surface side of the portion of the floor carpet 20 opposite the base end 24B side of the lid 24 with respect to the free end 24A of the lid 24 when the lid 24 is closed, and the hook-and-loop fasteners 38, 40 make the portion of the strap 30 on the other end 30B side detachable from the attachment portion 26.

[0023] Therefore, when the vehicle accessory 50 is placed (stored) between the vehicle floor 10 and the lid 24 shown in Figure 1, the gripping portion 32 of the other end 30B of the strap 30 is pulled toward the attachment portion 26 of the floor carpet 20 and the portion of the other end 30B of the strap 30 is attached to the attachment portion 26 with hook-and-loop fasteners 38, 40, whereby the vehicle accessory 50 is fixed in its placement position in a restrained (tightened) state.

[0024] Furthermore, because strap 30 is freestanding and the upper end of strap 30 is positioned higher than lid 24 when closed, the position of strap 30 is easy to see even when viewed from the rear. When other end 30B of strap 30 is attached to attachment portion 26 of floor carpet 20 with hook-and-loop fasteners 38, 40 as shown in Fig. 2A, by pulling up gripping portion 32, the attachment by hook-and-loop fasteners 38, 40 is released and other end 30B of strap 30 is detached from attachment portion 26, allowing lid 24 to be opened further as shown in Fig. 2B.

[0025] As described above, the vehicle accessory fastening structure of this embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 3B can suppress vibration of the vehicle accessory 50 while the vehicle is running, and can improve operability when opening the lid 24. Furthermore, suppressing vibration of the vehicle accessory 50 also suppresses the generation of abnormal noise.

[0026] Although one example of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above, and it goes without saying that the present invention can be implemented in various modified forms within the scope of the gist of the present invention.
