Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] The slope devices disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 5 can not only form slopes but also form platforms on which work can be performed. However, the slope devices disclosed in these patent documents require "legs", "leg parts", or "bench legs" for forming the platform separately from the members for forming the slope. As a result, these slope devices have a complicated configuration and an increased overall weight, which may have an adverse effect on vehicle transportation in terms of fuel consumption and the like.

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this disclosure is to provide a vehicle cargo loading and unloading aid that allows the ramp and platform to be formed using only the ramp body, without the use of separate components such as "legs". [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] To achieve the aforementioned objective, the vehicle cargo loading and unloading aid of this disclosure is: Including the main body of the ramp, The slope body includes the slope surface, The ramp body is positioned so that it spans the floor of the vehicle's interior and the loading / unloading area on the exterior of the vehicle, allowing the ramp surface to incline downward from the vehicle's interior floor toward the loading / unloading area. By moving the cargo on the aforementioned slope surface, the cargo can be loaded and unloaded from the vehicle. The ramp body includes the leg bending portion, In the ramp body, the portion closer to the vehicle than the leg bending portion becomes the base portion, and the portion closer to the loading / unloading portion than the leg bending portion becomes the leg portion. The base can be supported by bending the legs downward so that the ends of the legs make contact with the loading / unloading section. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to this disclosure, the ramp and the platform can be formed using only the ramp body. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0018] Next, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. The present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments. In the following drawings, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the descriptions of each embodiment can be linked to each other. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the configurations of each embodiment can be combined. The dimensions, orientation, arrangement, and shape of each configuration in the present disclosure are shown as specific features in the drawings of the following embodiments, but are not limited to those features.

[0019] [Embodiment 1] An example of the configuration of the vehicle cargo loading / unloading assist device 10A (hereinafter also referred to as "assist device 10A") of this embodiment will be explained using Figure 1. In Figure 1, the assist device 10A includes a ramp body 11. Also in Figure 1, the ramp body 11 includes a ramp surface 12 and a leg bending portion 13.

[0020] First, the loading and unloading of cargo using the auxiliary device 10A will be explained using Figures 3 and 4. In Figure 3, the ramp body 11 is placed over the passenger compartment floor 2 of the vehicle 1 and the loading / unloading area 3 on the outside of the vehicle 1, so that the ramp surface 12 can be tilted downward from the passenger compartment floor 2 towards the loading / unloading area 3. Also, in Figure 4, the ramp body 11 allows the cargo 4 to be moved on the ramp surface 12, enabling the loading and unloading of cargo 4 in the vehicle 1. Thus, the vehicle cargo loading / unloading auxiliary device of this embodiment can form a ramp using only the ramp body.

[0021] The vehicle 1 may be any vehicle capable of loading and unloading the cargo 4, and its form may be anything. Examples of the vehicle 1 include automobiles, trains, etc. The auxiliary device 10A may be one or more, and may be stretched between the passenger compartment floor 2 of the vehicle 1 and the loading / unloading area 3 on the outside of the vehicle 1. The passenger compartment floor 2 may be any floor capable of loading and unloading the cargo 4, and its form may be anything. The passenger compartment floor 2 may be the floor of the vehicle 1 itself, the floor of a cargo compartment included in the vehicle 1, or the floor of a cargo bed included in the vehicle 1. The passenger compartment floor 2 may be the floor at the front of the vehicle 1, the floor in the middle of the vehicle 1, or the floor at the rear of the vehicle 1. The loading / unloading area 3 may be any place capable of loading and unloading the cargo 4 inside or outside the vehicle 1, and its form may be anything. The loading / unloading area 3 may be, for example, a road surface, ground, floor, etc. The loading / unloading area 3 may be, for example, a horizontal surface or an inclined surface. The cargo 4 may be, for example, cargo that can be loaded and unloaded onto the vehicle 1, and its form may be any. The cargo 4 may be moved, for example, by a person, or by a device capable of moving the cargo 4.

[0022] The ramp body portion 11 is, for example, the main body of the ramp in the auxiliary device 10A. The gradient of the ramp body portion 11 is, for example, a gradient that allows for loading and unloading of the cargo 4, and its form may be any. The shape of the ramp body portion 11 is, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped, but is not limited to this description. The length of each side of the ramp body portion 11 may be set appropriately, for example, according to the use of the auxiliary device 10A. The length of each side of the ramp body portion 11 may be set, for example, according to the type of vehicle 1, or according to the type of cargo 4. The ramp body portion 11 can be installed on the vehicle floor portion 2 by, for example, leaning the end of the ramp body portion 11 on the vehicle 1 side against the vehicle floor portion 2, or by fixing it to the vehicle floor portion 2. The end portion of the ramp body 11 on the loading / unloading section 3 side (i.e., the end portion 16 of the leg portion 15, which will be described later) may include an inclined surface, for example, to facilitate loading and unloading of the cargo 4 when the auxiliary device 10A is used as a ramp. The gradient of the inclined surface may be any gradient that allows for loading and unloading of the cargo 4, and its form may vary. The material of the ramp body 11 may be any material that can withstand the load of the cargo 4, and its form may vary.

[0023] The slope surface 12 is, for example, one of the surfaces of the slope body 11 that comes into contact with the cargo 4 during loading and unloading. The shape of the slope surface 12 can be, for example, a rectangle, but is not limited to this description. The rectangle may be, for example, a square or a rectangle. The length of each side of the slope surface 12 may be set appropriately, for example, according to the use of the auxiliary device 10A. The length of each side of the slope surface 12 may be set according to, for example, the type of vehicle 1 or the type of cargo 4. The material of the slope surface 12 may be, for example, one that can withstand the load of the cargo 4, and its form may be anything.

[0024] The surface of the slope surface 12 may be any surface on which cargo 4 can be loaded and unloaded, and its form may be any. As shown in Figure 2, the surface of the slope surface 12 may be, for example, a non-perforated surface (shown in Figure 2(A)), an uneven surface (shown in Figure 2(B)), a fence-like surface (shown in Figure 2(C)), a grid-like surface (shown in Figure 2(D)), etc. The surface of the slope surface 12 may also be, for example, a surface on which a flat plate can be attached. The surface of the flat plate may be any surface, for example, a non-perforated surface, an uneven surface, a fence-like surface, a grid-like surface, etc. The method of attaching the flat plate to the slope surface 12 may be any method on which the flat plate can be attached to the surface of the slope surface 12, and its form may be any.

[0025] Next, the support of the base portion by the auxiliary device 10A will be explained using Figure 5. As shown in Figure 5, the ramp body 11 has a base portion 14 in the part closer to the vehicle 1 than the leg bend portion 13, and a leg portion 15 in the part closer to the loading / unloading section 3 than the leg bend portion 13. The shape of the leg bend portion 13 is shown as a rectangle in each drawing, for example, but is not limited to this shape. Also, as shown in Figure 5, the ramp body 11 can support the base portion 14 by bending the leg portion 15 downward so that the end portion 16 of the leg portion 15 makes contact with the loading / unloading section 3. In this way, the vehicle luggage loading / unloading auxiliary device of this embodiment can form a base using only the ramp body.

[0026] The type of bending of the leg bending portion 13 is, for example, a type of bending that allows the leg portion 15 to bend to a position where it can support the base portion 14, and the form may be any. The arrangement of the leg bending portion 13 in the ramp body portion 11 is, for example, an arrangement that allows the leg portion 15 to support the base portion 14, and the form may be any. The arrangement of the leg bending portion 13 in the ramp body portion 11 is, for example, an arrangement such that when the leg portion 15 bends downward and the end portion 16 of the leg portion 15 touches the loading / unloading portion 3, the base portion 14 becomes horizontal. The horizontal state of the base portion 14 is, for example, a state in which the base portion 14 is horizontal with respect to the vehicle floor portion 2 as the reference plane. The material of the leg bending portion 13 is, for example, a material that allows the leg portion 15 to bend downward, and the form may be any.

[0027] An example of the type of bending of the leg bending portion 13 is shown in Figures 6A and 6B. Note that the type of bending of the leg bending portion 13 is not limited to, for example, Figures 6A and 6B. Figure 6A shows, for example, a state in which the leg portion 15 is not bent downward. Figure 6B shows, for example, a state in which the leg portion 15 is bent downward. As shown in Figures 6A and 6B, the leg bending portion 13 may be, for example, a portion in which the leg portion 15 can bend downward with the bending axis 31 included in the leg bending portion 13 as a fulcrum. Note that the leg bending portion 13 may also be bent such that, for example, the angle formed by the base portion 14 and the leg portion 15 with respect to the bending direction is a right angle.

[0028] The length of each side of the base portion 14 may be set appropriately, for example, according to the intended use of the auxiliary device 10A. The length of each side of the base portion 14 may be set according to the type of vehicle 1, or according to the type of luggage 4. The length of each side of the leg portion 15 may be set appropriately, for example, according to the intended use of the auxiliary device 10A. The length of each side of the leg portion 15 may be set according to the type of vehicle 1, or according to the type of luggage 4.

[0029] The angle formed by the base portion 14 and the leg portion 15 with respect to the bending direction is, for example, an angle at which the leg portion 15 can support the base portion 14, and the configuration may be any. The angle formed by the base portion 14 and the leg portion 15 with respect to the bending direction may be, for example, a right angle. The angle formed by the base portion 14 and the leg portion 15 with respect to the bending direction may be appropriately adjustable, for example, according to the slope of the loading / unloading section 3. The loading / unloading section 3 may be in places where it is necessary to adjust the height of the leg portion 15, such as in a sloping area. For this reason, the leg portion 15 may include, for example, an adjustment part that can adjust its height. The adjustment part may be, for example, one that enables the leg portion 15 to support the base portion 14 in a horizontal state, and the configuration may be any. The horizontal state of the base portion 14 may be, for example, a state in which the base portion 14 is horizontal with respect to the vehicle interior floor portion 2 as the reference plane. The base portion 14 and the leg portion 15 can be connected in series, for example, to form the ramp body portion 11. In this case, the leg portion bend portion 13 may be located at the connection point between the base portion 14 and the leg portion 15, or it may also serve as the connection point between the base portion 14 and the leg portion 15. The material of the base portion 14 may be any material that can withstand the load of the luggage 4, and its form may be any material. The material of the leg portion 15 may be any material that can withstand the load of the luggage 4, and its form may be any material.

[0030] An example of a vehicle cargo loading and unloading assistance method according to this embodiment will be described. The vehicle cargo loading and unloading assistance method according to this embodiment is carried out as follows, for example, using the auxiliary device 10A shown in Figure 1. Note that the vehicle cargo loading and unloading assistance method according to this embodiment is not limited to the use of the auxiliary device 10A shown in Figure 1. Also, the order in which each of the following steps is carried out is not limited to the order described. Therefore, the vehicle cargo loading and unloading assistance method according to this embodiment may be carried out in an order different from the order described, for example, and two or more steps may be carried out simultaneously.

[0031] First, the ramp body 11 is stretched across the passenger compartment floor 2 of the vehicle 1 and the loading / unloading area 3 on the outside of the vehicle 1, and the ramp surface 12 forms a downward slope from the passenger compartment floor 2 toward the loading / unloading area 3 (this is the slope formation process). Then, the cargo 4 is loaded and unloaded onto the vehicle 1 by moving it on the ramp surface 12 (this is the cargo loading / unloading process).

[0032] Next, the ramp body 11 supports the base 14 by bending the leg portion 15 downward and bringing the end portion 16 of the leg portion 15 into contact with the loading / unloading section 3 (this completes the base support process).

[0033] As described above, according to the vehicle cargo loading and unloading aid of this disclosure, the ramp body is extended over the vehicle's passenger compartment floor and the loading / unloading area on the outside of the vehicle, so that the ramp surface can be inclined downward from the passenger compartment floor toward the loading / unloading area, and the cargo can be loaded and unloaded in the vehicle by moving the cargo on the ramp surface. Furthermore, according to the vehicle cargo loading and unloading aid of this disclosure, in the ramp body, the portion on the vehicle side of the bent leg portion becomes the base portion, and the portion on the loading / unloading area side of the bent leg portion becomes the leg portion, and the leg portion bends downward so that the end of the leg portion makes contact with the loading / unloading area, thereby supporting the base portion. For this reason, according to this disclosure, the ramp and the base can be formed using only the ramp body.

[0034] Unlike the ramp devices disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 5, for example, the vehicle cargo loading and unloading aid of this disclosure does not require the use of separate components such as "legs," "leg sections," or "bench legs" to form a platform, in addition to the members for forming the ramp. Therefore, according to this disclosure, for example, the configuration of the ramp device can be simplified and its overall weight can be reduced, thereby improving aspects such as fuel efficiency in vehicle transport.

[0035] According to this disclosure, for example, since it is not necessary to use a separate component to form a platform, the cost of manufacturing a ramp device with the function of forming a platform can be reduced. Therefore, the vehicle luggage loading and unloading aid of this disclosure can increase the production volume per unit of capital compared to a ramp device that requires a separate component to form a platform, for example.

[0036] According to this disclosure, for example, since it is not necessary to use a separate component to form a platform, the size of the ramp device that has the function of forming a platform can be made smaller. For this reason, the vehicle luggage loading and unloading aid of this disclosure can secure a larger loading space when loaded inside a vehicle compared to a ramp device that requires a separate component to form a platform.

[0037] According to this disclosure, for example, the formed platform can be used for purposes other than loading and unloading cargo. Specifically, for example, various objects can be placed on the formed platform. For example, the formed platform can provide a place for bathing by placing a bathtub on it. For this reason, the formed platform can also be used, for example, in disaster relief activities. Furthermore, for example, various tasks can be performed on the formed platform. For example, the formed platform can provide a place for eating by making the surface of the sloping surface non-porous. For this reason, the formed platform can also be used, for example, in various outdoor activities.

[0038] [Embodiment 2] First, an example of the configuration of the vehicle cargo loading / unloading assist device 10B (hereinafter also referred to as "assist device 10B") of this embodiment will be explained using Figures 7 to 9. As shown in Figures 7 to 9, the ramp body portion 11 included in the assist device 10B includes, for example, a plurality of ramp members 17 (shown as ramp members 17a to 17c in Figures 7 to 9) and connecting portions 18 (not shown in Figures 7 and 9, and shown as connecting portions 18a to 18b in Figure 8), in addition to the configuration of Embodiment 1. As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the ramp member 17 includes, for example, the ramp surface 12 (shown as ramp surfaces 12a to 12c in Figures 7 and 8). Figures 7 to 9 illustrate, for example, the assist device 10B in which the leg bending portion 13 is located at the connecting portion 18b among the plurality of connecting portions 18.

[0039] In Figure 7, the multiple slope members 17a to 17c can be connected in series, for example, to form the slope main body 11. In Figure 8, the leg bend portion 13 is positioned, for example, at the connecting portion 18b of the multiple slope members 17a to 17c, specifically at the connecting portion 18a to 18b. The shape of the connecting portion 18 is shown as a triangle in each drawing, for example, but is not limited to this shape. In Figure 9, the base portion 14 is formed, for example, by the slope members 17a and 17b on the vehicle 1 side of the connecting portion 18b (not shown) where the leg bend portion 13 is positioned, among the multiple slope members 17a to 17c. In Figure 9, the leg portion 15 is formed, for example, by the slope member 17c on the loading / unloading portion 3 side of the connecting portion 18b (not shown) where the leg bend portion 13 is positioned, among the multiple slope members 17a to 17c. Furthermore, the ramp body 11 in Figures 7 and 8 can be configured as a ramp by, for example, connecting the ramp members 17a to 17c in series and stretching it over the passenger compartment floor 2 of the vehicle 1 and the loading / unloading area 3 outside the vehicle 1 (not shown). Also, the ramp body 11 in Figures 7 and 8 can be configured as a ramp by, for example, folding the ramp member 17c and stretching it over the passenger compartment floor 2 of the vehicle 1 and the loading / unloading area 3 outside the vehicle 1 (not shown).

[0040] The ramp body 11 may be configured as a ramp by, for example, connecting all the ramp members 17 in series and extending it across the passenger compartment floor 2 of the vehicle 1 and the loading / unloading area 3 outside the vehicle 1. Alternatively, the ramp body 11 may be configured as a ramp by, for example, folding at least one of the ramp members 17 and extending it across the passenger compartment floor 2 of the vehicle 1 and the loading / unloading area 3 outside the vehicle 1.

[0041] The slope member 17 is, for example, a member that constitutes the slope main body 11. The total number of slope members 17 is, for example, two or more. The number of slope members 17 corresponding to the base 14 may be, for example, one or two or more. The number of slope members 17 corresponding to the leg 15 may be, for example, one or two or more. The number of slope members 17 may be the same or different between the slope members 17 corresponding to the base 14 and the slope members 17 corresponding to the leg 15. The length of each side of the slope member 17 may be set appropriately, for example, according to the use of the auxiliary device 10B. The length of each side of the slope member 17 may be set according to the type of vehicle 1, for example, or according to the type of luggage 4. The length of each side of the slope member 17 may be the same among multiple slope members 17, for example, or different among multiple slope members 17. The length of each side of the ramp member 17 may be the same or different between, for example, the ramp member 17 corresponding to the base portion 14 and the ramp member 17 corresponding to the leg portion 15. The length of each side of the ramp member 17 corresponding to the leg portion 15 may be, for example, long enough for the leg portion 15 to support the base portion 14, and the configuration may be any. The length of each side of the ramp member 17 corresponding to the leg portion 15 may be, for example, long enough for the leg portion 15 to support the base portion 14 in a horizontal state. The horizontal state of the base portion 14 may be, for example, a state in which the base portion 14 is horizontal with respect to the vehicle interior floor portion 2 as the reference plane.

[0042] The connecting portion 18 connects the slope members 17 to each other, for example. In Figure 8, the connecting portion 18a connects the slope member 17a and the slope member 17b, for example, and the connecting portion 18b connects the slope member 17b and the slope member 17c. The form of connection between the slope members 17 by the connecting portion 18 is, for example, any form that allows the slope members 17 to be connected to each other, and the configuration may be any. The connection between the slope members 17 by the connecting portion 18 may be, for example, a connection by a connector. The connector may be, for example, one that allows the slope members 17 to be connected to each other, and the configuration may be any. The connector may be, for example, a hinge. The connector may be, for example, the bending shaft 31 when the leg bending portion 13 also serves as the connecting portion 18.

[0043] The leg bend portion 13 is, for example, positioned on at least one of the connecting portions 18 of the multiple slope members 17. The leg bend portion 13 is positioned on the connecting portion 18 so that, for example, the leg portion 15 can support the base portion 14 when the leg portion 15 is bent downward. The leg bend portion 13 may also serve as one of the connecting portions 18. The number of leg bend portions 13 positioned on the slope body portion 11 may be, for example, one or two or more.

[0044] Next, another example of the configuration of the vehicle cargo loading / unloading aid 10B of this embodiment will be described using Figures 10 and 11. In Figure 10, the ramp body 11 included in the aid 10B includes, for example, a plurality of ramp members 17 (shown as ramp members 17a to 17c in Figure 10) and a connecting part 18 (not shown) in addition to the configuration of Embodiment 1. In Figures 10 and 11, the ramp body 11 includes, for example, the connecting part 18a and the connecting part 18b (not shown), similar to Figure 8. In Figures 10 and 11, the connecting part 18a (not shown) connects, for example, the ramp member 17a and the ramp member 17b, and the connecting part 18b (not shown) connects, for example, the ramp member 17b and the ramp member 17c. In Figure 10, the slope member 17 includes, for example, the slope surface 12 (shown as slope surfaces 12a to 12c in Figure 10). Figures 10 and 11 illustrate, for example, an auxiliary device 10B in which the leg bending portion 13 is positioned at the connecting portions 18a and 18b among a plurality of connecting portions 18.

[0045] In Figure 10, the multiple slope members 17a to 17c can be connected in series, for example, to form the slope main body 11. In Figures 10 and 11, each of the leg bends 13a and 13b is positioned, for example, on the connecting portions 18a and 18b (not shown) of the multiple slope members 17a to 17c. In Figure 11, the base portion 14 is formed, for example, by the slope member 17a on the vehicle 1 side of the connecting portion 18a (not shown) where the leg bend 13a is positioned, among the multiple slope members 17a to 17c. In Figure 11, the leg portion 15 is formed, for example, by the slope members 17b and 17c on the loading / unloading portion 3 side of the connecting portion 18a (not shown) where the leg bend 13a is positioned, among the multiple slope members 17a to 17c. Furthermore, in Figure 10, the ramp body 11 can be configured as a ramp by, for example, connecting the ramp members 17a to 17c in series and extending it across the passenger compartment floor 2 of the vehicle 1 and the loading / unloading area 3 outside the vehicle 1. Also, in Figure 11, the ramp body 11 can be configured as a ramp by, for example, folding the ramp member 17c and extending it across the passenger compartment floor 2 of the vehicle 1 and the loading / unloading area 3 outside the vehicle 1 (not shown).

[0046] The ramp body 11 may be configured as a ramp by, for example, connecting all the ramp members 17 in series and extending it across the passenger compartment floor 2 of the vehicle 1 and the loading / unloading area 3 outside the vehicle 1. Alternatively, the ramp body 11 may be configured as a ramp by, for example, folding at least one of the ramp members 17 and extending it across the passenger compartment floor 2 of the vehicle 1 and the loading / unloading area 3 outside the vehicle 1.

[0047] The leg bend portion 13 includes, for example, a leg bend portion 13 corresponding to a boundary portion (not shown). The boundary portion is, for example, one of the multiple leg bend portions 13 located at the connecting portion 18 which forms the boundary between the base portion 14 and the leg portion 15. In this case, the base portion 14 may be, for example, one of the multiple slope members 17, specifically the slope member 17 on the vehicle 1 side of the boundary portion. The leg portion 15 may also be, for example, one of the multiple slope members 17, specifically the slope member 17 on the loading / unloading portion 3 side of the boundary portion. In Figure 11, the boundary portion is, for example, one of the leg bend portions 13a and 13b, specifically the leg bend portion 13a located at the connecting portion 18a (not shown).

[0048] The leg portion 15 may, for example, have at least one of the slope members 17 supporting the base portion 14, and at least one of the slope members 17 may be folded. In Figure 11, the leg portion 15 may, for example, have the slope member 17b supporting the base portion 14, and the slope member 17c folded. Alternatively, the leg portion 15 may, for example, have all of the slope members 17 supporting the base portion 14.

[0049] As described above, according to the vehicle cargo loading and unloading aid of this disclosure, for example, a plurality of the ramp members can be connected in series to form the ramp body, and in the plurality of ramp members, the ramp member on the loading / unloading side of the connecting portion where the leg bending portion is arranged can form the leg. For this reason, according to this disclosure, a ramp and a platform can be formed using only the ramp body.

[0050] According to this disclosure, for example, the length of the ramp in the extending direction and the length of the base in the extending direction can be appropriately adjusted by changing the number of ramp members. Therefore, according to this disclosure, for example, ramps and bases suitable for various applications can be formed.

[0051] According to this disclosure, for example, the length of the ramp in the extending direction and the length of the base in the extending direction can be appropriately adjusted by folding at least one ramp member at the leg portion. Specifically, in Figures 7 and 10, the ramp body portion 11 can shorten the length of the ramp in the extending direction by folding the ramp member 17c at the leg portion 15, for example (not shown). Also, in Figure 11, the ramp body portion 11 can shorten the length of the base in the extending direction when the base portion 14 is composed only of ramp member 17a by folding ramp member 17c, compared to when the base portion 14 is composed of ramp members 17a and 17b (not shown). Thus, according to this disclosure, for example, ramps and bases suitable for various applications can be formed.

[0052] [Embodiment 3] An example of the configuration of the vehicle cargo loading / unloading assist device 10C (hereinafter also referred to as "assist device 10C") of this embodiment will be explained using Figures 12 and 13. In Figures 12 and 13, the assist device 10C further includes, for example, a leg fixing device 19 in addition to the configuration of Embodiment 1 described above.

[0053] In Figure 12, the leg fixing device 19 is in a state where, for example, the downward bending of the leg portion 15 is not fixed. The leg fixing device 19 is not limited to Figure 12, and only needs to be capable of fixing the downward bending of the leg portion 15. In Figure 12, the leg fixing device 19 includes the leg fixing device body 42 and the holes 43, for example, in a state where the downward bending of the leg portion 15 is not fixed. The shape of the leg fixing device 19 is not limited to a shape that can fix the downward bending of the leg portion 15, and its form may be any. The form of the leg fixing device 19 may be, for example, an L-shape, as shown in Figures 12 and 13. The number of holes 43 in the leg fixing device 19 is not limited to a number that can fix the downward bending of the leg portion 15, and its form may be any. The arrangement of the holes 43 in the leg fixing device 19 may be any arrangement that allows for fixing the downward bending of the leg portion 15, and the configuration may be any. In Figure 12, the slope body portion 11 includes, for example, holes 44. The number of holes 44 in the slope body portion 11 may be any number that allows for fixing the downward bending of the leg portion 15, and the configuration may be any. The slope body portion 11 may have, for example, at least one hole 44 in the base portion 14 and at least one hole 44 in the leg portion 15. The arrangement of the holes 44 in the slope body portion 11 may be any arrangement that allows for fixing the downward bending of the leg portion 15, and the configuration may be any.

[0054] In Figure 13, the leg fixing device 19 is in a state where the downward bending of the leg portion 15 is fixed. In Figure 13, the leg fixing device 19 includes a main body fixing device 41, a leg fixing device body 42, and a hole 43 in a state where the downward bending of the leg portion 15 is fixed. The main body fixing device 41 may be any fixing device capable of fixing the leg fixing device body 42 to the auxiliary device 10C, and its form may be any. The main body fixing device 41 may be a screw, a fixing pin, or the like. The angle that the base portion 14 and the leg portion 15 make with respect to the bending direction after fixing by the leg fixing device 19 may be any angle that allows the leg portion 15 to support the base portion 14, and its form may be any. The angle that the base portion 14 and the leg portion 15 make with respect to the bending direction after fixing by the leg fixing device 19 may be a right angle, for example. The leg fixing device 19 may, for example, be capable of fixing the angle formed by the base portion 14 and the leg portion 15 with respect to the bending direction at any angle. The leg fixing device 19 may, for example, be capable of fixing the angle formed by the base portion 14 and the leg portion 15 with respect to the bending direction at a right angle.

[0055] According to this disclosure, for example, the support state of the base 14 by the legs 15 can be fixed. Therefore, according to this disclosure, for example, when the base 14 is used for loading and unloading cargo or for other purposes, it is possible to prevent the support state of the base 14 by the legs 15 from being released.

[0056] [Embodiment 4] An example of the configuration of the vehicle cargo loading / unloading assist device 10D (hereinafter also referred to as "assist device 10D") of this embodiment will be explained using Figures 14 to 17. In Figures 14 and 15, the ramp body portion 11 included in the assist device 10D further includes a ramp bending portion 20 in addition to the configuration of the embodiment 1, for example. Also, in Figures 16 and 17, the ramp body portion 11 further includes a ramp fixing device 21 in addition to the configuration of the embodiment 1 and the ramp bending portion 20, for example.

[0057] In Figure 15, the slope body 11 is such that, for example, the slope surface 12 on the loading / unloading section 3 side from the slope bend 20 can be tilted downward from the vehicle floor 2 towards the loading / unloading section 3. The slope bend 20 may be located at least one of the connecting portions 18 of the multiple slope members 17 if the slope body 11 includes multiple slope members 17. The type of bend of the slope bend 20 is such that, for example, the slope surface 12 on the loading / unloading section 3 side from the slope bend 20 can be tilted downward from the vehicle floor 2 towards the loading / unloading section 3, and the form may be any. The type of bend of the slope bend 20 may be such that, for example, it bends downward with a bending axis included in the slope bend 20 as a fulcrum. According to this disclosure, for example, the tilted state can be configured when the end of the slope body 11 is installed on the vehicle floor 2 side. Therefore, according to this disclosure, for example, when loading and unloading cargo 4 in the vehicle 1, the transfer of cargo 4 from the ramp body 11 to the vehicle floor 2 can be carried out smoothly.

[0058] In Figure 16, the ramp fixing device 21 can fix, for example, the state in which the ramp surface 12 on the loading / unloading section 3 side from the ramp bend 20 is inclined downward from the vehicle floor 2 toward the loading / unloading section 3. That is, the ramp fixing device 21 can fix, for example, the inclined state caused by the ramp bend 20. The ramp fixing device 21 is, for example, positioned at the connecting section 18 where the ramp bend 20 is located. The ramp fixing device 21 may also be positioned at at least one of the connecting sections 18 of the multiple ramp members 17 if the ramp body 11 includes a plurality of ramp members 17. The type of fixing of the ramp fixing device 21 can be any type of fixing that can fix the inclined state, and the form may be any. The ramp fixing device 21 may be, for example, a screw. In Figure 16, the ramp fixing device 21 can be screwed onto the ramp body 11 by, for example, a clockwise rotation, thereby fixing the inclined state. According to this disclosure, for example, when loading or unloading the cargo 4 on the vehicle 1, it is possible to prevent the inclined state of the ramp body 11 from being released by the load of the cargo 4.

[0059] As shown in Figure 17, the ramp fixing device 21 may, for example, fix the ramp surface 12 in the portion of the ramp from the ramp bend 20 toward the loading / unloading section 3 in a state inclined upward toward the opposite direction from the passenger compartment floor 2 toward the loading / unloading section 3. According to this disclosure, for example, when loading the cargo 4 in the vehicle 1, the cargo 4 can be easily moved toward the passenger compartment floor 2 along the slope.

[0060] [Embodiment 5] An example of the configuration of the vehicle luggage loading / unloading assist device 10E (hereinafter also referred to as "assist device 10E") of this embodiment will be explained using Figures 18 to 30. In Figures 18 to 21, the assist device 10E includes, for example, a storage section 22 in addition to the configuration of Embodiment 1. In Figures 22 to 24, the assist device 10E includes, for example, an in-vehicle fixing device 23 in addition to the configuration of Embodiment 1 and the storage section 22. In Figures 25 and 26, the assist device 10E includes, for example, a wheel section 24 in addition to the configuration of Embodiment 1 and the storage section 22. The wheel section 24 can also be referred to as, for example, a storage section wheel section 24. In Figures 27 to 29, the assist device 10E includes, for example, a wheel section 25 in addition to the configuration of Embodiment 1 and the storage section 22 (not shown in Figures 27 and 28). The wheel section 25 can also be referred to as, for example, a ramp body wheel section 25. In Figure 30, the auxiliary device 10E includes, for example, the configuration of Embodiment 1, the storage section 22, and the wheel section 25, in addition to the wire 81. In Figures 18 to 30, the storage section 22 can house, for example, the ramp body section 11.

[0061] In Figures 18(A) to (C), the storage section 22 includes, for example, a top plate 51 and side plates 52. The position where the top plate 51 is joined to the side plates 52 may be, for example, a position that can secure space for storing the ramp body 11, and the configuration may be any. The top plate 51 may be joined to, for example, the upper edge of the side plate 52, or to the lower edge of the side plate 52, or to the space between the upper and lower edges of the side plate 52. In Figures 18(A) to (C), the top plate 51 is joined, for example, to the space between the upper and lower edges of the side plate 52. The storage section 22 may, for example, be able to store the ramp body 11 downwards from the top plate 51, or to store it upwards from the top plate 51. In Figures 18(A) to (C), the storage section 22 may, for example, be able to store the ramp body 11 downwards from the top plate 51. The surface of the top plate 51 may have any shape, for example, a non-perforated surface, an uneven surface, a fence-like surface, a grid-like surface, etc. The top plate 51 may also be, for example, a loading section for loading the luggage 4. The storage section 22 may include, for example, a bottom plate facing the top plate 51.

[0062] In Figures 18(B) and (C), the storage section 22 further includes, for example, an opening / closing section 53. The storage section 22 may be capable of holding the opening / closing section 53 in at least one of an open state and a closed state. In Figure 18(B), the storage section 22 is in the open state, for example. When the opening / closing section 53 is in the open state, the storage section 22 can store or pull out the ramp body 11. When the storage section 22 holds the opening / closing section 53 in the open state, for example, it can prevent the luggage 4 loaded on the top plate 51 from detaching from its loaded state. In Figure 18(C), the storage section 22 is in the closed state, for example. When the storage section 22 holds the opening / closing section 53 in the closed state, for example, it can prevent the ramp body 11 from detaching from its stored state.

[0063] In Figure 19, the ramp body 11 is shown, for example, extended from the storage unit 22. The storage unit 22 can be placed, for example, inside the vehicle 1 (not shown). When the storage unit 22 is placed inside the vehicle 1, the ramp body 11 can be extended over the passenger compartment floor 2 of the vehicle 1 and the loading / unloading area 3 outside the vehicle 1, so that the ramp surface 12 can be tilted downward from the passenger compartment floor 2 towards the loading / unloading area 3 (not shown). When the storage unit 22 is placed inside the vehicle 1, the ramp body 11 can support the base 14 by bending the legs 15 downward so that the ends of the legs 15 make contact with the loading / unloading area 3 (not shown).

[0064] In Figure 20, the ramp body 11 is stored in the storage section 22, for example, with the leg bending section 13 not bent. In Figure 21, the ramp body 11 is stored in the storage section 22, for example, with the leg bending section 13 bent. Thus, the way the ramp body 11 is stored in the storage section 22 is, for example, either with the leg bending section 13 not bent, or with the leg bending section 13 bent.

[0065] In Figure 22, the storage compartment 22 includes, for example, in-vehicle fixing devices 23. The in-vehicle fixing devices 23 can, for example, fix the storage compartment 22 inside the vehicle 1. The arrangement of the in-vehicle fixing devices 23 is, for example, sufficient to fix the storage compartment 22 inside the vehicle 1, and the configuration may be any. The number of in-vehicle fixing devices 23 is, for example, sufficient to fix the storage compartment 22 inside the vehicle 1, and the configuration may be any. In Figure 22, the in-vehicle fixing devices 23 are arranged, for example, on the side plate 52. The type of fixing of the in-vehicle fixing devices 23 is, for example, sufficient to fix the storage compartment 22 inside the vehicle, and the configuration may be any. The in-vehicle fixing devices 23 include, for example, screws. In Figure 23, the storage compartment 22 can be arranged, for example, inside the vehicle 1. The storage section 22 is fixed to the vehicle 1 by, for example, in Figure 24(A), by extending the in-vehicle fixing device 23 by counterclockwise rotation, and in Figure 24(B), by the in-vehicle fixing device 23 coming into contact with the vehicle 1.

[0066] In Figure 25, the storage unit 22 further includes, for example, wheel units 24. The storage unit 22 is movable outside the vehicle 1 with the ramp body 11 stored inside, for example, by the wheel units 24. The arrangement of the wheel units 24 is, for example, sufficient to allow the storage unit 22 to move with the ramp body 11 stored inside, and the configuration may be any. The number of wheel units 24 is, for example, sufficient to allow the storage unit 22 to move with the ramp body 11 stored inside, and the configuration may be any. The wheel units 24 may be fixedly attached to the storage unit 22, or they may be detachably attached to the storage unit 22.

[0067] In Figure 26, the wheel portion 24 is, for example, detachably attached to the storage portion 22. In this case, the method of attaching the wheel portion 24 to the storage portion 22 is, for example, any method in which the wheel portion 24 can be detachably attached to the storage portion 22. In Figure 26, the wheel portion 24 is attached to the storage portion 22 by, for example, screwing a wheel fixing device 61 into the hole 62 of the wheel portion 24 and the hole 63 of the storage portion 22. The auxiliary device 10E may, for example, allow the wheel portion 24 to be removed when the storage portion 22 is loaded inside the vehicle 1, or allow the wheel portion 24 to be removed when the storage portion 22 is loaded or unloaded outside the vehicle 1.

[0068] In Figure 27, the ramp body 11 includes, for example, wheel portions 25. The arrangement of the wheel portions 25 may be, for example, such as an arrangement that allows the ramp body 11 to be stored in or pulled out of the storage portion 22, and the configuration may be any. The number of wheel portions 25 may be, for example, such as an number that allows the ramp body 11 to be stored in or pulled out of the storage portion 22, and the configuration may be any. The wheel portions 25 may be fixedly attached to the ramp body 11, or they may be detachably attached to the ramp body 11.

[0069] In Figure 28, the wheel portion 25 is, for example, detachably attached to the ramp body portion 11. In this case, the method of attaching the wheel portion 25 to the ramp body portion 11 is, for example, any method in which the wheel portion 25 can be detachably attached to the ramp body portion 11. In Figure 28, the wheel portion 25 is attached to the ramp body portion 11 by, for example, screwing a wheel fixing device 71 into a hole 72 in the wheel portion 25 and a hole 73 in the ramp body portion 11.

[0070] In Figure 29, the ramp body 11 can be stored in or pulled out of the storage section 22 by, for example, the wheel section 25. In Figure 30, when the ramp body 11 is pulled out of the storage section 22 by, for example, the wheel section 25, the pulling range can be controlled by the wire 81.
