When the partition board 40 changes its posture from the lying down state to the standing state, the engaged portion 23 is tilted in synchronization with the rotation of the partition board 40 and the engaging portion 43 and the engaged portion 23 are engaged. .

Next, a usage pattern of the tonneau board 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 12 to 15.
As shown in FIG. 1, in the first loading mode, the cargo compartment 3 is divided into two upper and lower cargo compartment spaces, an upper cargo compartment 3a and lower cargo compartments 3b and 3c. The luggage can be placed on the front board 20 and the rear board 30 and can be loaded over the entire lower cargo compartments 3b and 3c. As shown in FIG. 12, when the lift gate 1 is opened in the first loading mode, the lift gate 1 and the rear board 30 are connected via the connecting means 17, so the lift gate 1 is opened. Synchronously with this, the front board 20 and the rear board 30 are opened, and the lower cargo compartments 3b, 3c are fully opened. At this time, the holding means 32 urges the rear board 30 to automatically become substantially linear with respect to the front board 20 in a side view. As a result, the cargo room opening behind the rear board 30 is enlarged, and the loadability and loading efficiency of the cargo with respect to the lower cargo chambers 3b and 3c are secured.

As shown in FIG. 13, in the second loading mode, the cargo compartment 3 is partitioned into three upper and lower cargo compartment spaces of an upper cargo compartment 3a, a lower front cargo compartment 3b, and a lower rear cargo compartment 3c. ing. The luggage can be placed on the front board 20 and the rear board 30, and can be loaded separately in the lower luggage compartments 3b and 3c. As shown in FIG. 14, when the lift gate 1 is opened, the lift gate 1 and the rear board 30 are connected via the connecting means 17, so that the rear of the lift gate 1 is synchronized with the opening operation of the lift gate 1. The side board 30 is brought into an open state, and the partial opening of the rear cargo room 3c is performed. Thereby, the loading / unloading property of the luggage with respect to the rear cargo room 3c is secured.
At this time, since the partition board 40 is positioned and fixed to the side panel 10 by the lock mechanism 42 and the engaging portion 43 of the partition board 40 is engaged with the engaged portion 23 of the front board 20, the front board 20 is Regardless of the opening operation of the rear board 30, the rotation around the front end rotation shaft 21 is restricted to maintain the horizontal state, and the front luggage room 3 b is made a shielding space partitioned from the outside. Therefore, even when the lift gate 1 is opened, it is possible to prevent the luggage stored in the front luggage compartment 3b from being visually recognized from the rear of the vehicle.

As shown in FIG. 15, when loading / unloading a cargo from / to the front cargo space 3 b formed in the shielding space, the handle 52 of the lock mechanism 42 is rotated clockwise to retract the rod 55 from the pin hole 16. Thereby, the partition board 40 can be rotated back around the lower rotation shaft 41, and the posture can be changed from the standing state to the lying state superimposed on the cargo floor panel 9. In synchronization with the change in the posture of the partition board 40, the engagement between the engaging portion 43 and the engaged portion 23 is released, so that the rotation restriction around the front end turning shaft 21 of the front board 20 is released. Due to the urging force of the urging means 22, the front board 20 is automatically rotated upward around the front end rotation shaft 21. As a result, as shown in FIG. 12, the lower luggage compartments 3b and 3c can be fully opened.
When the front luggage room 3b is shielded after loading the luggage in the front luggage room 3b, the partition board 40 is rotated forward around the lower rotation shaft 41 to change the posture from the lying down state to the standing state, and the lock mechanism 42 The rod 55 is inserted into the pin hole 16 and the partition board 40 is positioned and fixed. After positioning and fixing the partition board 40, the lift gate 1 is closed. At this time, since the weight of the rear board 30 acts on the rear end of the front board 20, the front board 20 rotates downward around the front end rotation shaft 21, and the engaging portion 43 becomes the engaged portion 23. Engage. (See Figure 13)

Next, functions and effects of the rear luggage compartment structure according to the first embodiment will be described.
This rear cargo compartment structure can link the loading / unloading status of the cargo to / from the front cargo compartment 3b, which is a shielded space, with the posture of the partition board 40, and the front board 20 is rotated around the front end rotation shaft 21 based on the posture of the partition board. The rotation is limited. That is, when the luggage is not taken in and out of the front luggage compartment 3b, the front board 20 can maintain the state of the shielding space even when the lift gate 1 is opened when the so-called partition board 40 is standing.
