2. Description of the Related Art In a car which does not have a space dedicated to luggage storage such as a trunk room, luggage can be placed directly on a floor plate other than a seat such as behind a rear seat, or a container can be placed inside the vehicle and luggage can be stored therein. There are many specifications to store.

[0003] However, if luggage with instability is placed on the floorboard, the luggage will fall down due to vibration during driving, causing problems such as the inability to carry luggage such as broken items safely.

[0004] For this reason, various baggage holding devices capable of stably holding even a baggage with poor stability have been studied. An example of a conventional luggage holding device will be described below.

As an example, FIG. 10 shows a luggage holding device disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-25525. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, a storage box 2 having a cover 1 that can be opened and closed is provided in a depression (not shown) formed in a floor plate.

Is supported only by the insertion depth of the wall plate 3 into the insertion groove 5. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the insertion depth in order to secure the upright position of the cover body 1. However, as the insertion depth increases, the height of the cover body 1 protruding from the insertion groove 5 is limited to a low level. The height of luggage that can be hung on 7 can be limited. On the other hand, if the height at which the luggage can be hung is secured, the insertion depth of the cover body 1 becomes shallow, and the cover body 1 lacks standing stability.

Further, while there is an advantage that the hook 7 can be easily attached to an arbitrary position on the back surface of the cover 1, the engagement between the hook 7 and the cover 1 is not strong, and the hook 7
There is also a problem that the withstand load cannot be large.

In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to obtain good load holding stability and sufficient load strength.
