Description

The The invention relates to a trunk for a motor vehicle, with the help of which objects can be transported.

Out DE 71 12 747 a trunk for a motor vehicle is known, which has a trunk floor for storing objects and a trunk side wall for laterally limiting a trunk volume. So that smaller items in the trunk can be safely transported and can not move through the entire trunk volume, a fold-out folding box is provided within the trunk volume to accommodate smaller items can. So that the folding box can not move through the trunk volume, the folding box is attached to one side within the trunk volume on the trunk side wall.

adversely in such a trunk is that in the folded Condition the folding box the available trunk volume impaired and an ugly sight offers.

It The object of the invention is a trunk for a To create a motor vehicle, which has a larger trunk volume and in a visually not significantly impaired Way safe transport of smaller items allows.

The Solution of the problem is carried out according to the invention by the features of claim 1. Preferred embodiments The invention are specified in the subclaims.

Of the Inventive trunk for a motor vehicle has a trunk floor for storing objects and a trunk side wall for laterally limiting a trunk volume on. According to the invention, the trunk side wall a collapsible transport wall for delimiting a transport volume within the trunk volume, wherein the transport wall in collapsed state sunk within the trunk side wall is.

With Help the fold-out transport wall can be a part of the trunk volume be separated to within the transport wall in the trunk volume separated transport volume to store smaller items. This will avoid getting smaller items when driving the motor vehicle through the entire trunk volume can move. This will increase the risk of damage reduced the smaller items. Furthermore, can other objects in the trunk are not included collide with the smaller objects, so that even these items from being damaged are protected. Since the transport wall in the folded State is sunk within the trunk side wall claimed the transport wall in the folded state no share of the trunk volume. Due to the folded transport wall is therefore not the trunk volume reduced, but compared to an arrangement within the Trunk even enlarged. Because the transport wall can be sunk in the trunk side wall, the optical Impression of the trunk is not significantly affected. It is even possible, the transport wall in the folded Cover condition or pointing to the trunk volume Side to design that the transport wall is not immediately immediately is recognized. The trunk design is not affected by this, thereby achieving higher customer acceptance and satisfaction becomes. This makes it possible to have a bigger one To create trunk volume and in a visually not significantly impaired Way safe transport of smaller items to enable.

Especially Preferably, the transport front on an end wall, which in the Form course of the trunk side wall and / or in the shape of a integrated with the trunk side wall trunk lining integrated is. The essentially to the trunk volume facing end wall of the Transport wall can be essentially without offset in the surrounding Geometry be fitted. In particular, the side wall has a three-dimensional design through which the contours, lines, Colors and / or materials of the front wall surrounding components be continued. The front wall of the transport wall can thereby as a natural part of the trunk side wall and / or the trunk panel are perceived, the optical impression of the trunk is not affected. In particular, the transport wall in the folded state as such hardly recognizable.

Preferably the end wall has a cover layer facing the trunk volume on, wherein the cover layer of a substantially same material as a material surrounding the end wall in the folded state the trunk side wall and / or the trunk lining consists. For example can the trunk side wall pointing to the trunk volume Side be provided with a non-woven and / or knitted fabric that too used as a cover layer for the end wall of the transport wall can be. This also leads to the area of the folded Transport wall to a uniform surface texture and a homogeneous look.

Preferably the transport wall has at least one collapsible sidewall with at least two along a hinge axis hinged together connected partial walls, wherein a movable latch for Connection of the two partial walls via the hinge axis is provided away. Due to the articulated connection of the partial walls The side wall of the transport wall can be folded, thereby a movement of the end wall of the transport wall into the trunk volume and can be reached out. Through the bolt, the position the one partial wall are locked relative to the other partial wall, so that a collapse of the side wall are deliberately prevented can. This allows the transport wall in the unfolded state in Area of the side walls by the bolt later be stiffened so that the transport wall is not during the drive of the motor vehicle is accidentally collapsed.

Especially Preferably, the latch surrounds the side wall partially. The bolt For example, in cross-section U-shaped or C-shaped be formed so that the latch on the upper edge of the side wall can be placed and moved along the side wall. The Side wall may have a recess in the range of movement of the bolt, which is particularly dimensioned such that the bolt with the rest upper edge of the side wall is aligned. To the side wall in the unfolded State lock, the bolt can be moved so far that he cuts the hinge axis and both the one part wall as The other partial wall also surrounds. In this position, the bolt can Lock the side panel in the maximum extended position.

Especially is the latch over at least one in a guide guided approach linearly guided by the sidewall. For example, the bolt in cross-section substantially U-shaped be configured and on a leg, preferably both Legs, have a neck, which is guided in a recess of the side wall is. The recess of the side wall can be used as a recess or be designed as a breakthrough. Through the guided movement the bolt can be given the path of movement of the bolt and in particular a captive attachment to the side wall be educated. At the same time, through the approach and the leadership Stops are formed, which control the movement of the bolt limit to the required path of movement. This facilitates the handle of the bolt and it can be particularly fast and easy a lock brought about and / or a lock be solved. Particularly preferred is by the approach and by the leadership in the respective end positions, for example provided by a locking of a holding force, so that the Latch does not unintentionally release while driving. For example, the guide points to the end positions Rejuvenate, allowing the approach in the end positions can be wedged.

In a preferred embodiment, the transport wall a maximum distance D to the trunk floor, wherein the maximum Distance D 0.0 cm ≤ D ≤ 5.0 cm, especially 0.2 cm ≤ D ≤ 3.0 cm, preferably 0.5 cm ≤ D ≤ 2.0 cm and more preferably 1.0 cm ≤ D ≤ 1.5 cm is. Due to the maximum distance D ensures that the transport wall when unfolding does not hit the trunk floor and can not be moved. At the same time, it is not necessary that the transport wall has its own ground, since the ground of the transport volume formed by the transport wall the boot floor is formed. The upper limit of the transport volume is defined by the top of the transport wall. simultaneously is the maximum distance D not chosen so large that smaller items between the trunk floor and the transport wall can get out of the transport volume. Furthermore, it is achieved by the maximum distance D that when unfolding and Folding in the transport wall no signs of wear and tear be caused on the trunk floor. By using the Transport wall is thus an impairment of the optical Impression of the trunk over time avoided.

Preferably has the transport wall a flat continuous End wall and / or flat continuous side walls and / or a flat continuous back wall on, wherein the end wall and / or the side walls and / or the rear wall in particular of a thermoplastic material, preferably PP, is produced. Due to the extensive continuous Design of the individual sections of the transport wall This avoids having smaller objects through latticed openings get out of the transport volume. Furthermore, the individual can be Walls of the transport wall due to their simple geometry very easily produced by plastic injection molding, for example with the help of polypropylene (PP).

Particularly preferably, the trunk side wall has a releasable holding element for holding the transport wall in the folded state, wherein the holding element is at least partially recessed in the side wall. The holding element can be configured, for example, as a rotatable bolt or as a clamp. By the retaining element, for example, the end wall of the transport wall can be held in the folded state, so that the transport wall during the Driving the motor vehicle can not accidentally fold out. Damage to the transport wall or objects in the boot volume can be avoided. Since the retaining element can be recessed in the side wall, the optical impression of the trunk is not affected by the retaining element. Furthermore, the luggage compartment volume is not reduced by the retaining element.

Especially has the transport wall accessible from the trunk volume Gripping element for pulling out the transport wall, wherein the gripping element is designed in particular as a gripping opening. By the Gripping opening, it is possible, for example, with the hand to intervene in the front wall of the transport wall and the End wall to pull into the boot volume, thereby automatically the transport wall opens.

The ratio of the transport volume V _T to the trunk volume V _K is preferably 0.01 ≦ V _T / V _K ≦ 0.4, in particular 0.1 ≦ V _T / V _K ≦ 0.35, preferably 0.15 ≦ V _T / V _K ≦ 0.3 and more preferably 0.2 ≦ V _T / V _K ≦ 0.25. For determining the volume of the trunk volume VK, in particular standard cubes (50 mm × 200 mm × 100 mm) are used, as recommended by the VDA. The transport volume VT is limited laterally by the transport wall, in the lower region of the trunk floor and at the top by a plane which is defined by the upper side surface of the transport wall. By this choice of the transport volume to the trunk volume, it is particularly possible to provide both in the right trunk side wall and in the left trunk side wall, the transport wall, without the transport walls can interfere in the unfolded state. Further, a transport volume is defined by the transport wall, which is significantly less than 50% of the trunk volume and is thus suitable to accommodate smaller items that require significantly less space than the entire trunk volume. For example, objects with a volume of ≦ 10%, in particular ≦ 5% and particularly preferably ≦ 1% of the trunk volume, can be safely picked up by the transport wall. As a rule, the volume of smaller items is ≥ 0.001% of the trunk volume.

following the invention will be with reference to the accompanying drawings explained by way of example with reference to preferred embodiments.

The in 1 illustrated trunk 10 has a trunk floor 12 and a trunk side wall 14 on. Inside the trunk side wall 14 is a transport wall 16 arranged in the folded state. In the folded state is from the transport wall 16 only an end wall 18 recognizable. The front wall 18 has a gripping opening 20 on to the sidewall 18 and thus the transport wall 16 in a trunk volume 22 to be able to pull in.

At the in 2 shown unfolded state of the transport wall 16 are also with the front wall 18 in particular articulated side walls 24 recognizable. The side walls 24 can in particular be articulated with a back wall 26 be connected. Through the transport wall 16 that is, the end wall 18 , the side walls 24 and the back wall 26 becomes a transport volume 28 the transport wall 16 educated. The transport volume 28 is in the lower area by the motor vehicle floor 12 limited. A separate floor is through the transport wall 16 not trained.

As in 3 It can be seen, the side walls show 24 two hinged partial walls each 30 which could be folded up in a zigzag shape. In the folded state, the transport wall 16 be locked by one by one bolt 32 rotatable with the vehicle side wall 14 connected holding element 34 the movement of the front wall 18 can lock.

From the in 4 illustrated folded state of the transport wall 16 can the bulkhead 18 with the help of the gripping opening 20 essentially parallel to the rear wall 26 be pulled out. This folds, as in 5 represented, the hingedly interconnected partial walls of the side wall 24 on. At the in 6 illustrated unfolded state of the transport wall 16 are the partial walls 30 in one plane and are maximally expanded.

As in 7 shown, can with the sidewall 24 a latch 36 be connected, which is substantially U-shaped in cross section. The bolt 36 has two legs 38 on, partly on a front side 40 or a back side 42 extend along. In the illustrated embodiment, the legs 38 one approach each 44 up in a depression 46 the side wall 24 on the front side 40 or at the back 42 is guided.

As in 8th is represented by the depression 46 formed a guide, within which the bolt 36 is linearly guided. The partial walls 30 the side wall 24 are about a joint axis 48 hinged together. If the latch 36 from the in 8th shown position within the recess 46 is moved laterally, connects the bolt 36 the two partial walls 30 over the hinge axis 48 away with each other, leaving the partial walls 30 can not be folded anymore.
