Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a partition member mounting structure applied to vehicles such as automobiles. [Background technology]

[0002] Specific examples of partition member mounting structures include the structures described in Patent Documents 1-3. This structure includes, for example, a substantially rectangular plate-like partition member and a plurality of bands supporting the partition member. One end of each of the plurality of bands is attached to each of the four corners of the partition member, and the other end is attached to an appropriate location in the vehicle interior using a hook member or the like. In this way, the partition member is supported by the plurality of bands and set in an upright position in the vertical direction at a predetermined location in the vehicle interior. The partition member serves as a luggage fence that suppresses the movement of luggage placed in a luggage compartment in the rear area of ​​the vehicle interior, for example, and prevents the luggage from colliding with the rear seat or falling out of the vehicle when the back door is opened.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned conventional techniques still have room for improvement, as described below.

[0004] That is, the attachment of each band to the partition member is performed, for example, by simply passing one end of each band through a hole provided in the partition member, or by a similar means. Therefore, the relative positions of the band and the partition member are easily misaligned, and the bands are not very effective in suppressing the swaying of the partition member. As a result, it is not particularly easy to attach the partition member stably in the desired position in an upright position in the vertical direction, and there is room for improvement in this regard. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] JP 2000-108790 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2009-280197 A [Patent Document 3] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 63-144330 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The present invention was devised in light of the circumstances described above, and its objective is to provide a partition member mounting structure that can facilitate and speed up the installation, removal, and storage of the partition member after removal, as well as disassembly of the components, and can appropriately stabilize the mounting posture of the partition member. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions.

[0008] The partition member mounting structure provided by the present invention comprises a plate- or sheet-shaped partition member, and at least a pair of left and right bands, one end sides of which are attached to regions near both ends in the left and right width direction of the partition member, and the other end sides of the pair of bands are attached to band mounting targets located on both left and right sides of the partition member, thereby making it possible to support the partition member in an upright position in the vertical height direction within the vehicle cabin.In each of the regions near both ends of the partition member, a first hole portion and a second hole portion extending beyond the first hole portion are provided as hole portions through which one end sides of the bands are serially passed. A second hole portion is provided on the outer side of the partition member in the width direction, and the inner region of each band located between the first and second hole portions and the outer region located on the outer side of the partition member in the width direction of the partition member than the second hole portion are arranged in a staggered manner on the front and back sides of the partition member, and are configured to be able to sandwich the partition member from both the front and back sides.

[0009] According to this configuration, the following effects can be obtained. That is, each band supporting the partition member is passed through the first and second holes of the partition member in series, and the predetermined inner and outer regions of each band are arranged alternately on the front and back sides of the partition member, so that the partition member can be sandwiched from both the front and back sides. Therefore, compared with the conventional technology in which one end of each band is simply passed through one hole provided in the partition member, it is possible to strengthen the close relationship between the band and the partition member, making it difficult for relative positional deviations to occur between them, and to appropriately suppress the swinging of the partition member by the band. As a result, it is possible to facilitate and speed up the work of stably attaching the partition member to the desired position in an upright position in the vertical height direction. In addition, the attachment state of the partition member is also stabilized. The means for setting the partition member to be sandwiched from both sides by parts of the band is simply to pass the band through the first and second holes in a series, so the operation is easy. Another advantage is that even if the user releases the band after passing it through the first and second holes, the band will not easily fall off the partition member. Furthermore, the overall configuration is simple, and compared to the conventional technology, it is possible to make it possible to make it so that there is no or almost no increase in weight or manufacturing costs.

[0010] In the present invention, preferably, the first and second hole portions comprise a pair of upper first and second hole portions and a pair of lower first and second hole portions provided in an upper portion of the region near both ends of the partition member in the left and right width direction and a lower portion located below the upper portion, respectively, and the bands comprise a pair of upper bands that are passed through the pair of upper first and second hole portions, and a pair of lower bands that are passed through the pair of lower first and second hole portions, and the central extension lines of the pair of upper bands and the pair of lower bands are configured to be set so as to intersect at the center of the partition member in the width direction.

[0011] With this configuration, the partition member can be properly supported by using a pair of upper and lower bands. Here, the center extension lines of the upper and lower bands intersect at the center of the width of the partition member, so that the partition member is less likely to rotate and fall forward or backward. Therefore, the mounting state of the partition member can be more stable.

[0012] Other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Figure 8] FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram illustrating another example of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0015] 1, the partition member mounting structure A of this embodiment is a structure for mounting a partition member 1 in an upright position in the vertical direction behind a rear seat 9 installed in the passenger compartment of a vehicle such as an automobile. Behind the rear seat 9 is provided a luggage compartment 21 where luggage can be loaded and unloaded through a back door opening 20, and the partition member 1 is used to restrict the movement of luggage placed in the luggage compartment 21.

[0016] As shown in Figs. 1 to 4, the partition member mounting structure A includes, in addition to the partition member 1, a plurality of bands 3 (four in total) and a connecting support member 4 to which the plurality of bands 3 are connected.

[0017] The partition member 1 is, for example, a resin plate, and its basic shape in front view is approximately rectangular. A pair of first and second holes 11, 12 are provided in each of the upper corners of the partition member 1, i.e., the upper part 1a of the region near both ends in the left and right width direction, and a predetermined lower part 1b located below the upper part 1a. Therefore, there are a total of four pairs of first and second holes 11, 12. More specifically, there are a pair of upper first and second holes 11, 12 located in the upper part 1a, and a pair of lower first and second holes 11, 12 located in the lower part 1b.

[0018] Each pair of the first and second holes 11, 12 is, for example, elongated, and the second hole 12 is located outward in the width direction of the partition member 1 relative to the first hole 11. However, the second hole 12 is positioned higher than the first hole 11, and central extension lines EL of the multiple pairs of the first and second holes 11, 12 intersect at the center in the width direction of the partition member 1 (the position of the center line CL) as shown in Fig. 4. Because the central extension lines EL intersect near the center of the partition member 1, positioning of the partition member 1 at the specified location is easy. When attaching the four bands 3 one by one to the specified locations of the vehicle, applying tension to the diagonal attachment positions makes it possible to position the partition member 1 approximately at the desired location. After that, by attaching the remaining diagonal bands 3 and applying tension, the partition member 1 can be accurately attached to the desired target attachment position.

[0019] 3 and 6, the band 3 includes, for example, a flexible, band-like band body 30, a stopper member 31 attached to one end of the band body 30, and a plug-type buckle 32 attached to the other end of the band body 30. The buckle 32 is a conventionally known side release type buckle that pairs with a socket-type buckle 41, which will be described later. The buckle 32 is attached to the band body 30 by clamping a part of the band body 30, and the length of the band 3 from the stopper member 31 to the buckle 32 can be adjusted by changing the clamping position.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 3, the band 3 is passed through the first and second holes 11 and 12 in series. The stopper member 31 is larger in length and width than the first hole 11. It does not pass through hole 11 but is engaged with the periphery of first hole 11 . The band body 30 has an inner region Sa located between the first and second holes 11, 12, and an outer region Sb located on the outer side in the width direction of the partition member 1 from the second hole 12, and these regions Sa, Sb are arranged in a staggered manner on the front surface 1c side and the back surface 1d side of the partition member 1. With this arrangement, the inner region Sa and the outer region Sb of the band body 30 sandwich the partition member 1 from both the front and back sides.

[0021] The other end of the band 3 where the buckle 32 is provided extends so as to protrude outward from the partition member 1 and is connected to a connecting support member 4. As clearly shown in Figs. 2 to 4, the connecting support member 4 is a member fixed to a panel member 5 such as a side panel located on the outer side of the partition member 1 by using a fastening member 50 such as a screw. More specifically, the connecting support member 4 is configured such that a socket-type buckle 41 that can be attached to and detached from the plug-type buckle 32 described above is fastened to the tip of a belt-shaped member 40 (see also Fig. 5). The belt-shaped member 40 is made of the same material as the band body 30, for example.

[0022] The connecting support member 4 and the panel member 5 correspond to specific examples of the band attachment subject of the present invention, and the other end of the band 3 is attached to the connecting support member 4 and the panel member 5 by engaging the buckles 32, 41 with each other. The connecting support member 4 is provided at a total of four locations so as to correspond to the total of four pairs of first and second hole portions 11, 12 of the partition member 1 and the total of four bands 3. As shown in FIG. 2, when the partition member 1 is set in an upright position using the four bands 3, the center extension lines EL of these four bands 3 are common to the extension lines EL of the first and second hole portions 11, 12 described above, and intersect at the center in the width direction of the partition member (the position of the center line CL).

[0023] Next, the operation of the partition member mounting structure A will be described.

[0024] As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, when the partition member 1 is set in an upright position in the vertical height direction, each band 3 is passed through the first and second holes 11, 12 of the partition member 1 in series, as described above, and the inner region Sa and the outer region Sb of each band 3 are arranged in a staggered manner to sandwich the partition member 1 from both the front and back sides. Therefore, unlike a configuration in which one end of the band is passed through one hole provided in the partition member to connect them, it is possible to strengthen the close relationship between the band 3 and the partition member 1 and make it difficult for their relative positional deviation to occur. As a result, it is possible for the band 3 to have the effect of appropriately suppressing the shaking of the partition member 1, making it easier and faster to install the partition member 1 and stabilizing the installation state of the partition member 1.

[0025] The task of attaching one end of the band 3 to the partition member 1 is accomplished by simply passing the band 3 through the first and second holes 11, 12 in a row. Furthermore, even if the user releases one band 3 in an attempt to attach another band 3 after attaching the previous band 3 to the partition member 1, the band 3 will not easily fall off the partition member 1. This makes the task of attaching the partition member 1 even easier.

[0026] 2, in this embodiment, the center extension lines EL of the four bands 3 intersect at the center in the width direction of the partition member 1, so that the partition member 1 is less likely to rotate and fall toward the front or rear of the vehicle. As a result, the mounting state of the partition member 1 becomes more stable.

[0027] 7(a) and (b) show comparative examples 1 and 2 of this embodiment. In these, the symbols Pa and Pb indicate the connection points between one end of each band 3 and the partition member 1 and the connection points between the other end of each band 3 and the panel member 5. In both Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the connection point Pa between one end of each band 3 and the partition member 1 is merely configured such that one end of the band 3 is passed through a single hole, and the same effect as that described above for this embodiment is not obtained.

[0028] In Comparative Example 1, each band 3 is horizontal. Therefore, the partition member 1 is likely to fall significantly due to its own weight, and one end of each band 3 sags significantly downward. This causes the partition member 1 to wobble significantly. In addition, since the center extension lines EL of the four bands 3 do not intersect, the partition member 1 is likely to rotate and its posture is unstable. In Comparative Example 2, since each band 3 is set at an angle, the partition member 1 can be stabilized as compared with Comparative Example 1, but the center extension lines EL of the four bands 3 do not intersect with each other, so the partition member 1 is still prone to rotation. In contrast, in the partition member mounting structure A of this embodiment, it is possible to appropriately solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0029] 3(a), a gap 80 of width La exists between the upper part of the inner periphery of the second hole 12 and the band 3. However, in this embodiment, instead of such a configuration, for example, the second hole 12 may be displaced downward by an appropriate width Lb from the original position of the band 3 as shown by the imaginary line in the figure, thereby eliminating the gap 80 and making the upper part of the inner periphery of the second hole 12 come into interference contact with the upper edge of the band 3. At this contact portion, part of the weight of the partition member 1 acts on the band 3. According to such a configuration, the frictional force generated between the band 3 and the partition member 1 is increased, so that the band 3 can more firmly restrict the partition member 1, and the effect of preventing shaking and the like can be further improved. In addition, when the second hole portion 12 is arranged as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 3(a), the center extension line EL of the band 3 shown in FIG. 2 is bent at the position of the second hole portion 12, but the effect of applying tension to the band 3 and pulling up the partition member 1 to the target height is generated. In the first place, even if tension is applied to a total of four bands 3, the partition member 1 will slightly drop downward due to the bending of the partition member 1. In contrast, as described above, by making the second hole portion 12 interfere with the band 3, it is possible to easily set the partition member 1 to the target height without applying a considerably high tension to the four bands 3. This effect is preferable in that, when the partition member 1 is set to a height as low as possible above the floor surface of the vehicle compartment and the gap below the partition member 1 is desired to be small, this gap can be appropriately secured and the partition member 1 can be prevented from interfering with the floor surface of the vehicle compartment when the vehicle is traveling.

[0030] In the above-described partition member mounting structure A, the partition member 1 can be disassembled when it is not necessary to use it. Specifically, the band 3 can be removed from the connecting support member 4, and the band 3 and partition member 1 can be stored in an appropriate location, for example, in the luggage compartment 21. In this case, the task of removing the band 3 from the partition member 1 can be easily performed, which is convenient.

[0031] Fig. 8 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, the same or similar elements as those in the above embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and the duplicated explanations are omitted. In this figure, each configuration is shown in a simplified form.

[0032] In the partition member mounting structure Aa shown in Fig. 8, the configuration of the upper area AR1 in the figure is similar to that of the partition member mounting structure A described above, and is provided with a pair of first and second holes 11, 12 and a pair of bands 3 passed through them. On the other hand, the configuration of the lower area AR2 in Fig. 8 is similar to that of Comparative Example 1 in Fig. 7(a), for example, and merely includes one hole 19 provided in a lower corner of the partition member 1, and one end of the band 3 is passed through this hole 19.

[0033] In the embodiment shown in Figure 8, the stability of the partition member 1 is lower compared to the embodiments shown in Figures 1 to 6, but compared to the conventional techniques such as Comparative Examples 1 and 2 of Figures 7(a) and (b) and Patent Documents 1 to 3, the effects intended by the present invention, such as improved stability of the partition member 1, can be obtained. In the present invention, when a partition member is attached using a plurality of bands, the attachment structures of all of the plurality of bands do not necessarily have to be the configuration intended by the present invention. As long as the attachment structures of at least a pair of left and right bands have the configuration intended by the present invention, they are included within the technical scope of the present invention.

[0034] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the specific configurations of the components of the partition member mounting structure according to the present invention can be freely designed and modified in various ways within the intended scope of the present invention.

[0035] The partition member is not limited to a plate shape, but may be, for example, a relatively thin sheet shape, and may be a shape other than a substantially rectangular shape. In either case of a plate shape or a sheet shape, it is preferable that the partition member has one or more holes of an appropriate shape and size. Success It may be possible.

[0036] The specific shapes, sizes, relative positions, and the like of the first and second holes can be modified in various ways, and they can also be in shapes other than elongated holes. In addition to the first and second holes, a third hole or even more additional holes may be provided, and the band may be passed through all of these holes in series. If there are three or more holes through which the band is passed, the effect of more reliably preventing the band from slipping out of the holes in the partition member before the buckles 32, 41 of the above-mentioned embodiment are connected and fixed can be obtained. There are no limitations on the specific shape, size, material, etc. of the band. In addition, the means for attaching the other end of the band to an attachment object for the band (for example, the connecting support member 4 and the panel member 5) is not limited to the above-mentioned buckle, and a different locking member or other member may be used.

[0037] The partition member mounting structure according to the present invention can be used not only in the luggage compartment at the rear of the vehicle, but also as a partition between vehicle seats, and its specific use is not limited. Therefore, the object to which the band is attached in the present invention is not limited to a panel member such as a side panel of the vehicle. [Explanation of symbols]
