Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle, and more particularly to a vehicle equipped with a function for expanding the interior space. [Background technology]

[0002] In the case of natural disaster recovery, many workers are dispatched to the site to carry out recovery work. In particular, in the case of recovery from disasters such as typhoons and earthquakes, close cooperation between related bases and workers is required depending on the progress of recovery and the latest information from the government and local governments.

[0003] In particular, in the event of a power outage, power companies and electrical contractors need to work closely together to carry out their work. Depending on the location of the disaster, it may not always be possible to secure a base suitable for issuing instructions. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vehicle for disaster recovery support that has the functions of a general vehicle but can also be used as a base for collecting information and commanding operations during a disaster. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The vehicle according to the present invention is a disaster recovery support vehicle having a cabin including a driver's seat and a luggage compartment arranged at the rear of the cabin, The luggage compartment is configured to be transitionable between a first state and a second state, The vehicle is a rear wall located at the rear; A first side wall and a second side wall sandwiching the luggage compartment on the left and right sides as viewed in the traveling direction; A protruding wall portion that constitutes a part of the first side wall under the first state and that protrudes and rotates to the outside of the luggage compartment in the left-right direction to a predetermined protruding position that is substantially parallel to a horizontal plane under the second state; a specific living space that constitutes a part of the luggage compartment and is sandwiched between the first side wall and the second side wall under the first state, the specific living space is an area surrounded by an internal first side wall arranged inside the protruding wall portion in the first state, an internal second side wall and an internal third side wall adjacent to the internal first side wall and facing each other while spaced apart in the front-rear direction, and an internal ceiling wall connected vertically above each of the internal first side wall, the internal second side wall, and the internal third side wall, In the second state, the protruding wall portion located at the predetermined protruding position serves as a bottom portion, and the first internal side wall, the second internal side wall, the third internal side wall, and the internal top wall are located vertically above the bottom portion, so that the specific living space protrudes outward in a direction from the second side wall toward the first side wall, thereby expanding the luggage compartment. At least one of the second internal side wall and the third internal side wall is provided with an expansion door that enables communication between the inside of the specific living space and the outside of the vehicle under the second state.

[0006] According to the above configuration, in the first state including the driving state, the specific passenger compartment space constitutes a space within the luggage compartment. The luggage compartment may be substantially rectangular, like a typical vehicle.

[0007] In the event of a disaster or the like, the protruding wall portion constituting a part of the first side wall is rotated to reach a preset protruding position substantially parallel to the horizontal plane, and the first internal side wall, the second internal side wall, the third internal side wall, and the internal top wall constituting a part of the exterior wall and the top wall of the specific living space move together to above the protruding wall portion located at the preset protruding position. This state is the second state.

[0008] In the first state, the first internal side wall is disposed inside the protruding wall portion. When transitioning from the first state to the second state, the protruding wall portion is rotated and moved to reach a predetermined protruding position substantially parallel to the horizontal plane, as described above. At this point, the first internal side wall is exposed and becomes visible from the outside. Thus, the first internal side wall moves to above the protruding wall portion located at the predetermined protruding position, thereby forming a part of the outer wall of the expanded specific living space.

[0009] As described above, when transitioning from the first state to the second state, the first internal side wall, the second internal side wall and the third internal side wall adjacent to the first internal side wall and facing each other while being spaced apart in the front-rear direction, and the internal top wall connected vertically above the first internal side wall, the second internal side wall, and the third internal side wall are moved together. On the other hand, no wall is moved at a position facing the first internal side wall in the left-right direction of the vehicle. That is, by transitioning from the first state to the second state, the luggage compartment is expanded in either the left or right direction when viewed in the traveling direction of the vehicle. More specifically, the area occupied by the specific occupancy space in the luggage compartment in the first state can be used as it is as a occupancy space (hereinafter, for convenience, referred to as the "first occupancy space"). In the second state, the specific occupancy space protrudes laterally in the luggage compartment while being connected to the first occupancy space. As a result, the occupancy space formed by the connection between the first occupancy space and the specific occupancy space is expanded more than the space existing in the luggage compartment in the first state. Hereinafter, such an expanded living space will be referred to as the "second living space."

[0010] Therefore, by placing a long table and multiple chairs in the expanded second living space, the vehicle can be used as a conference room for coordinating work during disaster recovery, even in places where a recovery base cannot be set up.

[0011] For example, the vehicle includes a long desk accommodated in the luggage compartment with the front-rear direction being the longitudinal direction in the first state, The long desk may be arranged in the expanded specific living space in the second state with its longitudinal direction being the left-right direction.

[0012] Also, for example, the vehicle may include a monitor fixed to the inside of the first internal side wall, whereby in the second living space constituting the expanded living space in the second state, the second living space can be used as a conference room while displaying the latest information on disaster recovery status, weather conditions, etc., on the monitor.

[0013] Here, in the second state, the internal second side wall and the internal third side wall protrude in the left-right direction of the vehicle to form the outer wall of the specific living space. Therefore, at least one of the internal second side wall and the internal third side wall is provided with an expansion door that enables communication between the inside of the specific living space in the second state and the outside of the vehicle, allowing smooth entry from outside the vehicle into the second living space that is used as a conference room or the like. The same applies to exiting the room.

[0014] As described above, in the first state, the first internal side wall is disposed inside the protruding wall portion, and the second internal side wall and the third internal side wall are disposed adjacent to the first internal side wall and spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction. In other words, in the first state, the second internal side wall and the third internal side wall form walls facing each other in the front-rear direction in the luggage compartment.

[0015] For example, if the second internal side wall corresponds to the rear side of the vehicle, an extension door is provided on a part of the second internal side wall, and an openable and closable rear door is also provided on the rear wall, it is preferable that the extension door and the rear door are positioned so that they partially face each other. In this case, even in the first state, by opening the rear door and the extension door, it is possible to enter the luggage compartment from outside the rear of the vehicle.

[0016] In more detail, The vehicle is an open rear portion that constitutes a part of the rear wall and includes an upper open rear portion that can rotate vertically upward and a lower open rear portion that can rotate vertically downward; a rear door located inside the rear wall, When the open rear portion is opened, a rear platform having the lower open rear portion as a floor portion is formed outside the luggage compartment, and the rear door is exposed. The rear exterior of the vehicle may be connected to the inside of the luggage compartment through the rear door.

[0017] This configuration ensures that there is enough space for a person to stand on the top surface of the rear platform, which allows, for example, a work supervisor to be positioned on the top surface of the rear platform to take roll calls and communicate important matters while multiple workers are positioned at the rear of the vehicle.

[0018] In this case, when the open rear section is in an open state, the upper open rear may form a top plate that is vertically spaced apart from the rear platform.

[0019] As a result, the top plate formed by the upper open rear functions as an obstacle to protect a person standing on the top surface of the rear platform from direct sunlight and rain.

[0020] Furthermore, a curtain rail may be formed on the bottom surface of the upper open rear section to which a rain curtain can be attached when the open rear section is in an open state.

[0021] This means that even in rainy weather, people standing on the top of the rear platform are less likely to be exposed to the rain, allowing them to communicate and give instructions to workers while checking information without getting papers or electronic devices wet.

[0022] The vehicle includes a removable first ladder step connecting the extension door to the ground at a position where the vehicle is located; The first ladder step may be accommodated within the luggage compartment in the first state.

[0023] As described above, the protruding wall portion that constitutes a part of the first side wall of the vehicle in the first state constitutes the floor of the specific living space in the second state. Therefore, a height difference inevitably occurs between the ground outside the parked vehicle and the floor inside the specific living space. According to the above, by removing the first ladder stairs that were stored in the luggage compartment in the first state and installing the first ladder stairs so as to connect the extension door to the ground where the vehicle is located after transitioning to the second state, it is possible to smoothly enter the second living space from outside the vehicle.

[0024] the vehicle includes a removable second ladder step connecting the rear platform to the ground at which the vehicle is positioned; The second ladder step may be accommodated within the luggage compartment in the first state.

[0025] As described above, the lower open rear portion constituting a part of the rear wall rotates vertically downward to form the floor of the rear platform. Also, the upper open rear portion constituting a part of the rear wall rotates vertically upward to form a tabletop spaced apart from the rear platform in the vertical direction. Assuming that a person stands on the floor of the rear platform, it is preferable that the length of the floor of the rear platform in the front-to-rear direction and the length of the tabletop in the front-to-rear direction are close to each other. In other words, the open rear portion is such that the upper side constitutes the upper open rear portion and the lower side constitutes the lower open rear portion, based on a position approximately in the center in the vertical direction.

[0026] Therefore, a height difference inevitably occurs between the ground outside the parked vehicle and the floor of the rear platform. According to the above, by removing the second ladder steps stored in the luggage compartment in the first state and opening the open rear section to connect the floor of the rear platform formed by the opening, the extension door, and the ground where the vehicle is placed, a person can move smoothly from outside the vehicle to the floor of the rear platform. Furthermore, by providing a rear door on the inside of the rear wall including the open rear section, a person can smoothly enter the luggage compartment from outside the vehicle through the rear platform and the rear door.

[0027] The vehicle may include a side door provided on a portion of the second side wall, the side door connecting an outside of the second side wall side of the vehicle with an inside of the luggage compartment.

[0028] According to the above configuration, even in the first state, it is possible to enter the luggage compartment from the outside of the vehicle through the side door. Note that even in the second state, it is possible to access the second space, which is the expanded luggage space, by entering the luggage compartment from the outside of the vehicle through the side door.

[0029] The vehicle includes a roll-up opening tent fixed to a ceiling surface of the luggage compartment, The opening tent may be configured to be extendable outward from the second side wall.

[0030] According to the above configuration, the first side wall of the vehicle can protrude the specific living space, while the second side wall on the opposite side can form a shaded space. Therefore, by placing a desk and chair in this area, it is possible to form a temporary contact point for outsiders even during the daytime. Effect of the Invention

[0031] According to this invention, a vehicle for disaster recovery support is realized that can be used as a base for collecting information and commanding operations during disasters. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0033] An embodiment of a disaster recovery support vehicle (hereinafter, simply referred to as "vehicle") according to the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 32. However, each of the following drawings is a schematic illustration, and the dimensional ratios and the number of elements in the drawings do not necessarily correspond to the actual dimensional ratios and the number of elements.

[0034] FIG. 1 is a schematic front view of a vehicle according to the present invention. In the following description, an XYZ coordinate system is appropriately referred to, in which the direction from the rear of the vehicle to the front is the +X direction, the direction to the left as viewed from the front of the vehicle is the +Y direction, and the vertical upward direction is the +Z direction. In this specification, when a positive or negative direction is to be distinguished when expressing a direction, it is described with a positive or negative sign, such as "+X direction" and "-X direction". When a direction is to be expressed without distinguishing between positive and negative directions, it is simply described as "X direction". In other words, in this specification, when it is simply described as "X direction", both "+X direction" and "-X direction" are included. The same applies to the Y direction and the Z direction.

[0035] Fig. 2 is a schematic rear view of vehicle 1, Fig. 3 is a schematic right side view of vehicle 1, and Fig. 4 is a schematic left side view of vehicle 1. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing a part of the internal structure of vehicle 1 in comparison with Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a schematic top view of vehicle 1. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing a part of the internal structure of the vehicle in comparison with Fig. 6.

[0036] 1 and 6, the vehicle 1 includes a cabin 2 including a driver's seat, and a luggage compartment 3 disposed at the rear of the cabin 2. An antenna 71 is attached to the ceiling of the vehicle 1, and information received by the antenna 71 can be displayed on a monitor 75, which will be described later. The antenna 71 typically receives radio waves for TV.

[0037] As shown in Fig. 2, a rear wall 10 is provided at the rear of the vehicle 1, and an open rear section 13 forms part of the rear wall 10. The open rear section 13 includes an upper open rear section 11 that is rotatable in the +Z direction, and a lower open rear section 12 that is rotatable in the -Z direction. That is, as will be described later with reference to Fig. 25, the upper open rear section 11 rotates upward and jumps up, and the lower open rear section 12 rotates downward, causing a part of the rear wall 10 to open like a double door in the vertical direction. A handle 61 for operating the lower open rear section 12 is attached to the rear wall 10.

[0038] In addition, a pole support plate 62 is installed on the rear wall 10, and a flag can be attached to the vehicle 1 by attaching a flag pole (not shown) to the pole support plate 62. By attaching a flag visibly above the vehicle 1, it can be confirmed from a distance that the vehicle 1 is a disaster recovery vehicle.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 3, this is a schematic right side view of the vehicle 1. The vehicle 1 has a first side wall 20 that constitutes a part of the outer wall of the luggage compartment 3, and a part of this first side wall 20 (protruding wall portion 21) is configured to be rotatable to the +Y side with respect to the surface on the -Z side as a reference. A handle 63 for pulling out the protruding wall portion 21 is attached to the first side wall 20. An air conditioner is installed in the luggage compartment 3, and an outdoor unit 64 of the air conditioner is attached to the lower part of the vehicle 1. An electronic display board 65 for displaying information to the outside is provided on a part of the first side wall 20. An electronic display board 65 is also provided on the second side wall 30 shown in FIG. 4.

[0040] 4, the vehicle 1 has a second side wall 30 that constitutes a part of the outer wall of the luggage compartment 3, and the luggage compartment 3 corresponds to the area sandwiched between the first side wall 20 and the second side wall 30 in the Y direction. A side door 31 is provided in a part of the second side wall 30 for entering the luggage compartment 3 from the outside of the vehicle 1 on the -Y side.

[0041] A rollable opening tent 72 is mounted on the upper part of the luggage compartment 3. As shown in Fig. 32, by stretching the opening tent 72 in a direction away from the second side wall 30, a shaded area can be created on the -Y side (the second side wall 30 side) of the vehicle 1. Therefore, by placing a folding desk 82 and a chair 83 below the opening tent 72, a temporary contact window for receiving contact from the outside can be formed. In addition, since a work light 66 is mounted on a part of the second side wall 30, it can function as a temporary contact window for receiving contact from the outside even at night.

[0042] As shown in Fig. 5, various devices such as a distribution board 67, an air conditioner 68, and a refrigerator 69 are mounted in the luggage compartment 3. The vehicle 1 is equipped with a generator and a battery (not shown), and power from the generator or the battery is sent to each device through the distribution board 67. Furthermore, the vehicle 1 is also equipped with a power line for receiving power from an external power source, and is configured such that power received through the power line can also be transmitted to each device through the distribution board 67. Other devices such as a microwave oven, a printer, and a shredder are also mounted in the luggage compartment 3 as appropriate.

[0043] 7, a long table 73 and a number of chairs 74 are accommodated in the luggage compartment 3. In a state (first state) before the luggage compartment 3 is expanded, the long table 73 is arranged such that the X direction is the longitudinal direction.

[0044] 8 is a schematic top view of the vehicle 1 and the luggage compartment 3 in an expanded state (second state). In detail, the specific interior space 5 constituting a portion of the luggage compartment 3 is expanded in the +Y direction, thereby expanding the luggage compartment 3. An expansion door 22 and an expansion door 23 are attached to the wall surface of the specific interior space 5, and it is possible to directly enter the interior of the specific interior space 5 in the expanded state from the outside of the vehicle 1.

[0045] The manner in which the luggage compartment 3 is expanded will be described with reference to Figures 9 and 10. Figure 9 is a top view that shows a schematic view of a part of the luggage compartment 3 in a state (first state) before the luggage compartment 3 is expanded.

[0046] The specific habitable space 5 is formed at a location sandwiched between the first side wall 20 and the second side wall 30 in the Y direction. This specific habitable space 5 is surrounded by an internal first side wall 25 located inside the first side wall 20, and an internal second side wall 26 and an internal third side wall 27 adjacent to the internal first side wall 25 and facing each other while spaced apart in the front-to-rear direction (X direction). Furthermore, although not shown in Fig. 9, an internal top wall 24 is provided at the top of the specific habitable space 5 (see Fig. 11), and the internal top wall 24 forms the ceiling of the specific habitable space 5. The internal top wall 24 is connected vertically above each of the internal first side wall 25, the internal second side wall 26, and the internal third side wall 27.

[0047] As described above, the protruding wall portion 21 that is rotatable and movable toward the +Y side is provided on a part of the first side wall 20. The inner first side wall 25 is located inside this protruding wall portion 21.

[0048] Fig. 10 is a top view showing a schematic view of a portion of the luggage compartment 3 in a state (second state) after the luggage compartment 3 has been widened. The protruding wall portion 21 is rotated and moved to a state substantially parallel to the horizontal plane, so that the first internal side wall 25, the second internal side wall 26, the third internal side wall 27, and the internal top wall 24 are configured to be movable integrally in the +Y direction. The state of the vehicle 1 shown in Fig. 10 corresponds to a state in which the first internal side wall 25, the second internal side wall 26, the third internal side wall 27, and the internal top wall 24 move integrally in the +Y direction and thus protrude further than the first side wall 20 on the +Y side.

[0049] As a result, the specific habitable space 5, which was the area surrounded by the first internal side wall 25, the second internal side wall 26, the third internal side wall 27, and the internal top wall 24, is also shifted to a location protruding toward the +Y side from the first side wall 20. The area where the specific habitable space 5 was located in the first state can be used as a habitable space as it is. This space is referred to as the "first habitable space 6."

[0050] In other words, when the vehicle 1 transitions from the first state to the second state, the specific interior space 5, which is connected to the first interior space 6 in the Y direction, is formed on the +Y side of the first interior space 6. This expands the interior space in the luggage compartment 3 (the second interior space 7).

[0051] When the vehicle 1 is in the second state, the extension door 22 provided on the internal second side wall 26 and the extension door 23 provided on the internal third side wall 27 are both positioned protruding from the first side wall 20 on the +Y side and exposed to the outside. Thus, direct entry into the second living space 7, which is the expanded space, is possible through the extension door 22 or the extension door 23. Depending on the surrounding environment of the parking position of the vehicle 1, it is possible to select whether the extension door 22 or the extension door 23 is to be used as the door for entering and exiting the space.

[0052] 11 and 12 are perspective views that show the vehicle 1 in the second state. In FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, a first ladder 29 is attached to the extension door 23 so that the extension door 23 corresponding to the front side of the vehicle 1 functions as a door for entering and leaving the protruding specific living space 5. The protruding wall portion 21 that has been rotated and moved to a state that is substantially parallel to the horizontal plane constitutes the floor portion of the specific living space 5 in the vehicle 1 in the second state. In addition, in order to stabilize the specific living space 5, the protruding wall portion 21 and the ground are supported by the outrigger 28. The end of the outrigger 28 is in contact with the ground via the floor plate 70. The floor plate 70 is stored in a predetermined position in the luggage compartment 3, and in the operation of transitioning from the first state to the second state, the floor plate 70 is taken out and placed in a predetermined position, and then the outrigger 28 is extended until it comes into contact with the floor plate 70. An example of the stored state of the floor plate 70 is shown in FIG. 5.

[0053] 13 to 18, a flow of the transition of the vehicle 1 from the first state to the second state will be described.

[0054] FIG. 13 is a perspective view showing a part of the right side of the vehicle 1 in the first state. First, the handle 63 is operated to make the protruding wall portion 21 movable from the first side wall 20. Then, for example, a remote control (not shown) is operated to open the protruding wall portion 21 while rotating to the +Y side by hydraulic pressure. When the protruding wall portion 21 reaches a state substantially parallel to the horizontal plane as shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, the rotational movement stops. As a result, the outer wall surface of the inner first side wall 25 is exposed. FIG. 14 is a perspective view showing a part of the vehicle 1 when the protruding wall portion 21 is opened, and FIG. 15 is a schematic plan view showing the vehicle 1 in the state shown in FIG. 14 from the rear.

[0055] Thereafter, the first internal side wall 25, the second internal side wall 26, the third internal side wall 27, and the internal top wall 24 move integrally in the +Y direction until they are positioned vertically above the protruding wall portion 21. For convenience, the first internal side wall 25, the second internal side wall 26, the third internal side wall 27, and the internal top wall 24 will be collectively referred to below as the “specific habitable room outer walls” in the sense of the wall portions of the specific habitable room space 5.

[0056] Specifically, as shown in Figures 16 and 17, a screw bar 42 is provided in the luggage compartment 3 to connect the second side wall 30 and the first side wall 20 in the Y direction, and this screw bar 42 is connected to the internal third side wall 27 or the internal second side wall 26 via a connecting member 43. When the motor 41 is driven, the screw bar 42 rotates, and in accordance with this rotation, the specific outer wall of the room moves integrally in the +Y direction. A stopper 44 is connected to the -Y side of the connecting member 43, and when this stopper 44 comes into contact with the inner wall of the first side wall 20, the movement of the specific outer wall in the Y direction is stopped (see also Figure 20).

[0057] FIG. 18 is a perspective view that diagrammatically illustrates a part of the vehicle 1 in a state where the specific compartment outer wall is in the middle of moving in the Y direction, that is, in a state where the luggage compartment 3 is beginning to widen.

[0058] 19 and 20 are both schematic rear views of the vehicle 1 in the second state. FIG. 19 illustrates a state in which the open rear section 13 (see FIG. 2) is open. FIG. 20 is a drawing showing a part of the internal structure of the vehicle 1 in comparison with FIG. 19. When the vehicle 1 transitions from the first state to the second state, the specific occupancy space 5 is formed on the +Y side of the first occupancy space 6 in a state in which it is connected to the first occupancy space 6, and the occupancy space is expanded (second occupancy space 7). This ensures a large space inside the vehicle 1, and the vehicle can be used as a conference room for work coordination during disaster recovery.

[0059] FIG. 21 is a schematic top view of the vehicle 1 in the second state. For example, as described above with reference to FIG. 7, the long desk 73, which is stored with its longitudinal direction in the front-rear direction (X direction) in the first state, can be arranged with its longitudinal direction in the left-right direction (Y direction) in the second state. This allows the second living space 7 to be used as a conference room by arranging multiple chairs 74, 74, ... around the long desk 73. In particular, by attaching a monitor 75 to the inner wall surface of the first internal side wall 25, workers seated on the multiple chairs 74, 74, ... arranged around the long desk 73 can easily view the monitor 75. FIG. 22 is a diagram showing an example of the interior of the second living space 7.

[0060] Furthermore, by installing an interior light 46 on the inner wall of the interior ceiling wall 24, lighting within the specific living space 5 can be ensured even in the second state.

[0061] Next, with reference to Figures 23 to 27, a flow of opening the open rear section 13 constituting a part of the rear wall 10 of the vehicle 1 will be described. By operating a remote control (not shown), the upper open rear section 11 is lifted up as shown in Figure 23. Next, as shown in Figure 24, the handle 61 is operated to unlock the lower open rear section 12, and then the remote control (not shown) is operated. As a result, the lower open rear section 12 rotates and moves until it reaches a position approximately parallel to the horizontal plane as shown in Figure 25.

[0062] Then, as shown in Fig. 26, the outrigger 14 built into the lower-open rear 12 is pulled out. This causes the outrigger 14 to extend in the Z direction due to its own weight, as shown in Fig. 27. Thereafter, the outrigger 14 is fixed to the ground via the floor plate 70 in the same manner as in the installation method of the outrigger 28.

[0063] FIG. 28 is a perspective view showing the vehicle 1 with the luggage compartment 3 widened (second state) and the open rear section 13 open. When the open rear section 13 is opened, the rear door 15 arranged on the inside of the rear wall 10 is exposed. On the outer front surface of the rear door 15, a rear platform is formed, in which the lower open rear 12 forms a floor and the upper open rear 11 forms a top plate. For example, as shown in FIG. 29, by attaching a handrail 77 and a second step ladder 19, access to the outer front surface of the rear door 15 is made easy, and a person can stand on the upper surface of the floor (rear platform) formed by the lower open rear 12 while supporting the handrail 77. This allows a work supervisor to be positioned on the upper surface of the rear platform to take a roll call or communicate matters with multiple workers positioned at the rear of the vehicle 1.

[0064] A work light 78 is attached to the inside surface of the open-top rear 11. This allows multiple workers to notice a person standing on the top of the rear platform, even at night.

[0065] The vehicle 1 shown in Fig. 29 is attached with the second step ladder 19 so that it can ascend and descend in the Y direction (left and right direction), but as shown in Fig. 30, the second step ladder 19 may be attached so that it can ascend and descend in the X direction (front and back direction). The orientation in which the second step ladder 19 is attached can be selected depending on the surrounding environment of the location where the vehicle 1 is parked.

[0066] A curtain rail 16 is attached to the inner surface of the open-top rear 11. In rainy weather, as shown in Figure 31, a rain curtain 17 can be installed on the curtain rail 16, making it easier for a person to stand on the top surface of the rear platform.

[0067] The first ladder steps 29, the second ladder steps 19, the handrails 77, etc. may be stored in predetermined positions in the luggage compartment 3, similar to the floor board 70 (see FIG. 5, for example). The same applies to the footing 81, the folding desk 82, and the chair 83 shown in FIG. 32. The footing 81 is installed for the purpose of reducing the step required to enter the luggage compartment 3 from the side door 31.

[0068] In the above-described embodiment, the first side wall 20 forms the wall on the right side (+Y side) of the vehicle, and the second side wall 30 forms the wall on the left side (-Y side) of the vehicle, but the two may be reversed.

[0069] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and includes various modifications. For example, the above-mentioned embodiment has been described in detail for a better understanding of the present invention, and is not necessarily limited to the one having all the configurations described. The scope of the present invention is indicated by the scope of the utility model registration claims, and it is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the scope of the utility model registration claims.
