Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] This invention relates to an automobile tool box.

Tools such as spanners and screwdrivers used for repairing automobiles, replacing parts, etc. are generally stored in bags with pockets in a luggage compartment (trunk room) with the tools stored in the pockets.

However, when the tool bag is stored in the luggage compartment and there is only a small amount of baggage, the tool bag moves due to vibration, and when there is a lot of baggage, it becomes difficult to take out the tool bag, and the bulk of the tool bag makes it difficult to store the tool bag. There are problems such as the tool bag being easily forgotten to be put in the luggage compartment after use.

To solve the above problem, a tool box is provided on the back of the luggage compartment lid (trunk lid), but the volume inside the luggage compartment is small, and
There are problems such as the opening/closing lid becoming heavy.

This idea was made in view of the above problem, and a box that opens into the luggage compartment is installed in the space formed by the outer panel and inner panel or trim of the rear vehicle body at a position on the peripheral side wall near the tire house. A lid covering the opening of the box is attached to the edge of the opening so that it can be opened and closed, and a fitting part for fitting and holding tools is provided on the inner surface of the lid and the inner wall of the box, thereby narrowing the volume of the luggage compartment. To provide an automobile tool box that can securely hold tools without causing problems.

This invention will be explained in detail below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 indicates a luggage compartment provided at the rear of the automobile, and reference numeral 2 designates tire houses protruding inward from both left and right sides of the luggage compartment 1.

The side wall 3 of the luggage compartment 1 has an outer panel (rear fender) 4 and an inner panel (
The outer panel 4 and the inner panel 5 form a closed section having a space 7.

A box 8 opening into the luggage compartment 1 is formed on either side wall 3 by recessing a trim 6 at a position close to the tire house 2 toward a space 7.

The lower front portion of the box 8 is formed in an inclined shape along the rear curved surface 2a of the tire house 2, and is provided with an inclined opening edge 8a.

The lid 9 for opening and closing the opening of the box 8 is provided with a mounting portion 9b bent inward on its lower sloped portion 9a, and the mounting portion 9b is fixed to the sloped opening edge 8a of the box 8 with screws 10. The bending part is made thin and serves as a hinge 9c 6
In addition, a handle portion 9d is recessed in the upper rear side of the lid 9, and a lock portion 9e is provided in the upper rear corner portion to protrude inward, and the lid 9 is detached from the locking hole 8b formed in the earthen wall of the box 8. The lid 9 is held in a closed position by being securely locked, and when the handle part 9d is held and opened downward, the lock is released and the lid 9 is opened downward using the sheep 9c as a fulcrum, that is, upward of the tire house 2.

On the inner back surface of the lid 9, there are many small tools 11.
The RAD inner 12 is fitted and held and fixed with screws 13.

The lid inner 12 is continuously formed with a recess 22 into which a small tool 11 such as a spanner, screwdriver, pliers, etc. is fitted, and a retaining spring (not shown) for holding the tool 11.
are installed appropriately.

Furthermore, a locking spring 15 is provided on the inner wall 8c of the box 8 to fit and hold a large tool 14 such as a tire wrench.

In the figure, 16 is the rear villa, 117 is the quarter window, 1
8 is a carrier end panel, 19 is a luggage compartment floor, 20 is a floor panel, and 21 is a spare tire storage space.

Note that the side wall 3 of the luggage compartment 1 is formed of an outer plate 4 and an inner plate 5,
If the trim 6 is not attached, the inner plate 5 is recessed into the space 7 between the outer plate 4 and the box 8.

Furthermore, the position of the box 8 is not limited to the rear upper position of the tire house 2 indicated by ■, as shown in FIG.
The upper part of the center of the tire house 2 shown in ■ may also be used.
As shown in (2), the upper front side may be used.

Furthermore, this invention can be applied not only to the luggage compartment of the hatchback vehicle or pan-type vehicle shown in the above embodiment, but also to the trunk compartment of a normal passenger vehicle.

As mentioned above, if the space between the outer and inner panels of the luggage compartment is used and the inner panel or trim is recessed in the space to form a tool box, tool storage space can be taken up without narrowing the space in the luggage compartment. Can be done.

In addition, since the tool box is installed on the side wall around the tire house, and no cargo is normally placed on top of the tire house, the lid of the tool box can be opened and closed without being obstructed by the cargo, and in particular, the lid By opening downward toward the top of the tire house, the space for opening and closing the lid is secured, and the lid is held in the open position by the tire house (see Figure 2), allowing you to quickly open the lid and take out tools. Can be done.

Furthermore, since fitting portions for fitting and holding tools are provided on the inner wall of the tool box and the back surface of the lid, the tool box has the advantage that tools can be stored efficiently and reliably.
