The invention relates to a system for storing a load in a motor vehicle. The invention is characterised by a support unit (2), which is/can be fixed in a cargo area (4) of the vehicle and supports a receptacle (6) for the load. Once the receptacle (6) for the load has been removed and/or folded flat, the support unit (2) can be pivoted from a working position (A) lying on the cargo area floor (8), about a pivoting axis (Y) that lies close to the cargo area floor (8) and extends approximately parallel to the latter, into a non-working position (B) lying close and approximately parallel to a vehicle wall (10), which borders the cargo area (4), thus clearing the cargo area floor (8).
System for storing cargo within a vehicle
The present invention relates to a system for (ride secure) storage of cargo within a cargo space of a vehicle.
Such systems are known in various embodiments. For example, a receptacle is mounted within a cargo space, which can be folded flat in the manner of a folding box. In this flat-laid non-use state but a higher or lower level, creates the adjacent luggage compartment floor back due to the inevitable thickness of the folded "container part package" that especially when loading larger items, such as lying case is very disturbing because it is a flat, non-tilting chairs of the respective object on the loading floor prevented.
The present invention is based on the objective to create a system of this kind, can be optimally and safely housed and high ease of use in each cargo space with almost any load always.
This is inventively achieved by a novel, fastened in the loading space of the vehicle or attachable carrier device for load-receiving means by the support means (from a lying to a load floor position of use in associated with the support means and connectable load receiving means in a for cargo receptive condition) after removal and / or flat folding the Ladegut- receiving means, on a lying in the vicinity of the loading space floor to this approximately parallel pivot axis extending in an (approximately parallel to and close to a the loading space limiting vehicle wall Schottwandung) and thereby the vehicle floor releasing non-use position swiveled (ie folded) is. the support means is so constructed and arranged within the loading space preferably such that the pivot axis extends transversely, in particular perpendicular to a vehicle longitudinal axis and in the vicinity of a charging space separated from a passenger compartment and a cargo hold opening opposite vehicle wall. In the event of a rear-loading compartment thus is a front in the direction of travel vehicle wall, which extends in generally inclined obliquely upwards and towards the Laderaumöffπung.
By erfϊndungsgemäße system an extremely variable and comfortable use of the cargo space is possible. Specific, eg smaller load, by use of the load receiving means, in particular in the form of a klappboxartigen receptacle, be accommodated in the use position of the carrier device. The housing, that is, the loading can in this case be advantageously facilitated if the support means is formed such that the load receiving means from the use position (in which they at the loading area delimiting vehicle wall are as close as possible in a receptive for the respective state of charge) of the vehicle wall are gone in the direction of the loading space opening out into a loading position movable. The then very easily and conveniently loaded assembly can then be brought to near the opposite vehicle wall in the use position again, so that then also the space between the held via the inventive carrier means and guided reception means (for example container) and the loading space opening for another load such as standing bags, crates, etc. can be used. For flat-lying accommodating larger parts, such as lying suitcases, may advantageously the entire carrier device - either after disassembly of the actual load receiving means or preferably in a flat collapsed condition of the recording means together with the latter - against the loading space bounding about the pivot axis to the top vehicle wall whereby almost the entire cargo compartment floor is completely released thus without major system parts would remain on the bottom are pivoted. It is directly adjacent to the loading space requires the limiting vehicle wall for accommodating the parts of the system according to the invention only a small space. But precisely this space is according to experience - mainly because of the above-mentioned oblique course of the vehicle Schottwandung - already the most underutilized hold area is, so that the invention is virtually no restriction on the use of cargo space, but rather leads to a better utilization of the hold. The erfϊndungsgemäße carrier device is practically a universal "platform" to support almost any load receiving means. In addition, the carrier device can also be used universally in different vehicles, including only special adapter parts for the specific vehicle adapted fixing the support device and possibly other associated functional parts within the cargo area are the respective vehicle needed.
Further advantageous design features of the invention are contained in the dependent claims and the following description.
Reference to the drawings in the following, the invention will be explained in greater detail. They show:

Fig. 5 according to a plan view in the direction of arrow V. FIG. 4
Fig. 6 is a side view schematically depicted "transparent" in the direction of arrow
VI gem. Fig. 2,
Fig. 7 shows a section in the plane VII-VII gem. FIGS. 4 and 5 and
Fig. 8 is a perspective insight in a vehicle cargo space with a system according to the invention in a loading position. In the various figures of the drawing, identical parts are provided with the same references and therefore generally need also to be each described only once.
The inventive system comprises a support means 2 as essential system assembly. This support 2 is on the one hand in a loading space 4 (see FIG. Esp. Fig. 1 and 8) of a vehicle fastened. On the other hand, 2 load receiving means 6 may be fixed to the support means. Thus, the carrier device 6 serves for the adjustable support of the receiving means 6 in the cargo space 4. For this purpose, according to the invention the support means 2 from a lying approximately parallel to a luggage compartment floor 8 use position - in Fig. 1 are denoted by A - after removal and / or flat folding of the load - receiving means 6 about a pivot in the vicinity of the loading space base 8 on this extending approximately parallel pivot axis Y in a non-use position B, in which the support means 2 almost completely and, if necessary, together with the flattened receiving means 6 is approximately parallel to and in the vicinity of a the charging space 4-limiting vehicle wall (Schottwandung) 10. Thus, the entire load compartment floor 8 is released practically.
Preferably, the pivot axis Y is perpendicular to a vehicle longitudinal axis X, wherein the vehicle wall 10 separates the loading space from a passenger compartment 4, and thus a loading space opening 12 is opposite (s. Esp. Fig. 1). Since the loading chamber 4 is provided at the rear of most vehicles today, it is thus in the vehicle wall 10 about a front, looking in the direction of travel limit of the loading space. 4
As can also be seen from Fig. 1, is provided in a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the load-receiving means 6 is movable via the inventive carrier device 2 from the use position A and from the vehicle wall 10 away in the direction of the cargo hold opening 12 side into a loading position C are.
As will now continue, esp. From FIG. 2 to 5 shows, there is a support means 2 consisting essentially of a fastened in the cargo space 4 Schwenkgeienk 14 as well as retaining means 16 for in particular releasable fastening connection to the load-receiving means 6. Here, the holding means 16 connected to the pivot 14 via a sliding guide 18th The retaining means 16 can preferably be designed in the form of a base plate. The Haitemittel 16 in this case have, on its underside supporting rollers 20 for sliding or rolling support on the loading space base 8 (see Fig. Fig. 3). Preferably, at least four supporting rollers 20 are each arranged in the corner regions of the underside of the base plate used as a holding means sixteenth
According to Fig. 3 and 4, the sliding guide 18 is composed of at least one, centrally arranged exactly one in the example shown, slide rail 22. Such telescopic rail guides are used in a similar embodiment, for example, as a tray guide in the furniture industry. The telescopic rail guide 22 thus consists of telescopically interengaging rail members which allow movement of the holding means 16 and the associated receiving means 6 in the direction of the Move X ungsachse. This is respectively indicated by a double arrow 24 2 and 4 in Fig. 1,.
Alternatively to the illustrated, preferred embodiment, the sliding guide 18 may be formed by other means, such as by a scissors lever mechanism.
According to the invention further locking means for releasably locking the support means 2 in each of its possible positions A, B and C are provided. This is on the one hand to a rail lock 26, in the region of the telescopic rail guide, the system is blocked with the 22 in either the use position A or in a relative position B 'to pivot in the non-use position B. On the other hand, a pivoting latch is in the area of ​​pivot joint 14 is provided 28 with which the carrier device is locked in the folded non-use position B 2 (s. Esp. Fig.4).
As is apparent from Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 through 7, the rail lock 26, a locking element 30 (Fig. 7) which is fixed at one (22a) of the telescopically interlocking rail elements by means of retaining means 32 and in each of the two positions a or B ', preferably by spring force, into a locking opening 34a (Pos. B') or 34b (Pos. a) transverse to the direction X is engaged (s. also FIG. 4). To solve these rail lock 26 is at the free, 18 arranged to the swivel joint 14 the opposite end of the sliding guide a release button 36 which via a movement transfer element, preferably a Bowden cable 38 acts on the locking element 30 to make it against the spring force out of the respective locking opening 34a or b out move and thus be able to adjust the sliding guide 18th
Also, the pivoting latch 28 includes a latch member 40 (FIGS. 2 and 5), which acts parallel to the pivot axis Y in the example shown. It is also a radially acting design possible (perpendicular to the pivot axis Y). The locking element 40 is preferably releasable by a separate hand lever; this - not shown in the drawing - Hand lever may be arranged on an easily accessible place, in particular in the opening area of ​​the cargo space 4. Again, the actuation takes place preferably via a Bowden cable 42 (Fig. 2). It is particularly advantageous to arrange the hand lever in such a way and designed such that it simultaneously fulfills a visual display function for the proper locking of the pivoting latch 28th If the lock position (Pos. B) does not quite reach when lifting, so 40 is not yet engages the locking element. The hand lever is then in a certain position, which indicates to the user that is not yet locked. It was only during the engagement of the locking element 40, the hand lever is moved to a position that reveals locking.
In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, an end lock 44 is provided (see Fig. Esp. Fig. 6) which is arranged at the free end of the slide rail 22 in the region of the release button 36 and cooperates with a fixedly mounted in the cargo space 4 bolt element 46, around the slide rail to lock in the loading position C 22nd This latch acts on the one hand in the direction of travel of the vehicle longitudinal axis X, on the other hand, advantageously also in the direction of the transverse axis Y, whereby a high driving safety is achieved through good load fixation. In the end region of the telescopic rail guide 22, a locking slide 48, for example, is vertically guided, in which the locking element 46 engages (s. Fig. 6). Preferably, the locking slider 48 can be actuated also by the release button 36 for releasing the end lock 44th Thus, in this preferred embodiment, the release button 36 has a dual function vprteilhafterweise; it serves for unlocking the end lock 44 and also for unlocking the track lock 26. The actuation of the locking slider 48 via an eccentric portion 50 of the release button 36. As a result, the printing press of the release button 36 in the direction of arrow 52, ​​the locking slide 48 in the direction of arrow 54 in order to release the latch member 46 moved (against the force of a restoring spring).
In connection with the pivoting latch 28, it is also advantageous if a damper device is provided in such a manner (not shown), that the carrier device 2 due to gravity from its upwardly pivoted, locked non-use position B according to the unlocking of the pivoting latch 28, however, slowed down gradually in the direction of the loading space base 8 by swings below. In this case, even a small vertical distance may remain for engaging under the purpose of displacement in the direction of the loading position C as a grip gap with advantage in the lower position. This slight vertical distance is then removed during the loading of the receiving means Ladegut-. 6
It is further advantageous for rapid, preferably tool-free and releasably securing the load receiving means 6 in the holding means 16 of the carrier device 2 to provide suitable Schnellkupplungsmittei. These are not described in detail below.
In the illustrated embodiment, the load-receiving means 6 are formed as klappboxartiger receiving container 56, which consists of flat collapsible container parts. Gem. Fig. 8, which shows the prepared, photo-ready state of the receptacle 56 in the loading position C of the support means 2, the receptacle 56 of foldably interconnected wall parts 58, 60, 62 and 64 and a cover part 66 which in the erected position gem. 8 also forms Fig. A wall part. The lid member 66 is via two lateral wall portions connected 58 and 60 in an articulated manner to the front wall part 62, able to lie by a parallelogram unfolding the wall parts from their flat on each other and on the inside of the lid part 66 in a at least one receiving compartment 68 forming state can be converted (and vice versa). In the collapsed position a kind of case thus formed by the respective wall parts are covered by the cover part 66 in the closed non-use state (see. Also FIG. 3). By at least one partition wall 64 divided the receiving compartments can be formed 68th Furthermore, a handle grip 70 is provided, which is preferably attached to the front wall part 62 such that it is located in the non-use state in the region of a recess 72 adapted to fit the cover part 66th Due to this advantageous embodiment, a one-handed operation in a comfortable manner is possible by the handle grip 70 can also be used for the parallelogram erection movement of the wall parts on the one hand for placing the lid part 66 and on the other hand.
Preferably yet, a plurality of hook elements 74, in particular on the inside of the lid part 66, arranged so that articles such as shopping bags, also by hanging be fixed.
In deviation from the preferred embodiment, any other type of load receiving means 6 may be provided, for example holders for crates or other objects adapted retaining means.
The support 2 according to the invention forms a kind of "platform system" in that it can be designed to be adjustable attachment of various cargo receiving means 6 within cargo holds four practically any vehicles. These are only each special adapter parts for the specific vehicle adapted fastening of the support 2 and its other associated functional parts provide (in particular the Riegeielementes 46) within the respective vehicle. the holding means 16 are to be adapted to the load receiving means 6 to be used.
