Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a vehicle having a transparent luggage compartment, in which a luggage compartment of a light truck or the like is made of a transparent member so that the inside can be seen from outside.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, trucks with a box-shaped luggage compartment (luggage compartment) made of transparent material have been proposed. For example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-52584 has a greenhouse made of an acrylic transparent plate on a truck chassis, in which a flowerbed, a flower stand, a hot air heater, a water supply tank, a lighting lamp, a fan, and the like are provided. A horticultural exhibition vending machine has been proposed, which is equipped with a hood, a blind, and the like, and further comprises a foldable up-and-down staircase for entering the greenhouse from the outside. However, the horticultural exhibition sales vehicle disclosed in this official gazette is one in which the greenhouse is made of a transparent material for the purpose of “transparently seeing the plants and flowers displayed in the greenhouse”. Yes, there is no idea at all that “the transparent board that constitutes the transparent luggage compartment should be used as an advertising space by displaying characters or graphics for advertising on the transparent board”. In addition, since the horticultural exhibition sales car in this publication uses a greenhouse on the truck chassis, it is not possible to use general-purpose trucks or used trucks. Must be custom-built, but this can be costly.

[0003] In addition, the registered publication of Utility Model Registration No. 3042364 has a housing space having a vast transparent portion at the rear of a one-box car, and a speech, a concert, and the like of an election candidate performed in this housing space are provided. A multi-purpose vehicle has been proposed in which classes in a culture classroom and the like can be seen from the outside to enhance the advertising effect. However, the multipurpose vehicle disclosed in this publication is intended only to "make the movement of a person who is moving inside a storage space having a transparent portion visible from the outside". There is no idea that the characters or figures for advertisement are displayed on the transparent plate constituting the luggage compartment, so that the transparent plate is used as an advertising space. "

[0004] On the other hand, conventionally, there has been proposed an apparatus in which a transparent plate is placed on the rear of a truck and the transparent plate is used for displaying an advertisement. For example, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-28150, a display box is mounted at the rear of a truck, transparent windows are provided on both sides of the display box, and an ad board for displaying an advertisement is mounted behind the transparent window. In addition, there is disclosed a mobile advertising vehicle in which the ad board is illuminated by a light source arranged inside a display box. However, the "display box" mounted on the mobile advertising vehicle disclosed in this gazette is merely a "display box provided exclusively for advertisement, and cannot carry luggage therein". In other words, this mobile advertising vehicle will be equipped with a “display box dedicated to displaying advertisements (there is no space to store luggage inside)” at the rear of the vehicle instead of a “luggage room for storing luggage”. It was made. Therefore, there is no idea in the mobile advertising vehicle disclosed in this publication that "the transparent luggage compartment uses a transparent plate constituting the outer wall surface as an advertising space".

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 As described above, there is a conventional storage space provided at the rear of the truck so that the inside of the storage space can be seen from the outside (for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-52584 described above). Utility Model Registration No. 3042364). In addition, a display box with a transparent see-through window at the back of the truck, etc. (this display box has no space for storing luggage) is provided, and an advertising board is attached to the see-through window of this display box. Such a configuration has conventionally existed (for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-28150).

However, the rear part of a truck or the like is provided with a luggage room for storing a large amount of luggage, and at the same time, a transparent member (an advertising board made of a transparent member is made of an opaque member by providing night lighting or the like. (The value of outdoor billboards and moving billboards is much higher than billboards.) Vehicles that can be collected (during the day or at night) have never existed or been proposed. In other words, no vehicle has ever been proposed that can exhibit both the effect of carrying a large amount of luggage and the effect of effective outdoor mobile advertising using transparent materials during the day and night.

The horticultural exhibition / sales vehicle disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-52584 has a greenhouse built directly on a chassis of a truck (directly on a chassis without a carrier). So, if you want to convert an existing truck (with a backpack already installed behind it) into a horticultural exhibition car with such a greenhouse, remove the backpack and place the greenhouse skeleton on the chassis. A large amount of manufacturing cost and time is required, for example, starting with welding and fixing. As described above, there was no vehicle with a transparent luggage room that could easily attach a transparent luggage room to existing trucks (used trucks) at low cost and in a short period of time.

In addition, since the luggage compartment mounted on the back of the conventional truck is formed of an opaque material such as a container, the luggage compartment obstructs the driver directly from behind. Not visible (Therefore, a mirror or camera is attached to the upper part of the back of the container, but this increases the manufacturing cost and may not be sufficient for traffic safety ).

[0009] The present invention has been made in view of such problems of the prior art, and it is possible to carry a large amount of luggage, and to use a transparent material that is extremely high in value as an outdoor advertisement or a mobile advertisement. It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle with a transparent luggage room that enables effective outdoor mobile advertising during the daytime and at night. The present invention also makes it possible to provide such a vehicle with a transparent luggage compartment very easily, at low cost and in a short period of time by partially modifying an existing (used) truck. It is intended. Another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle with a transparent luggage compartment in which a driver of a vehicle such as a truck having a luggage compartment in the rear can almost completely see the rear through the luggage compartment. I do.

[0010]

[0027]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, a light truck with a transparent luggage compartment according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. 1 is a right side view of a light truck with a transparent luggage compartment according to the present embodiment, FIG. 2 is a rear view of the present embodiment, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the present embodiment as viewed obliquely from the right rear, and FIG. FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing a transparent luggage compartment used in the present embodiment, and FIG. 6 is an upward perspective view showing a transparent luggage compartment used in the present embodiment. It is a view seen through.

1 to 4, reference numeral 1 denotes a light truck, and 2 denotes a transparent luggage compartment mounted and fixed behind the light truck. In the present embodiment, a transparent luggage compartment 2 having three transparent surfaces, that is, left and right side surfaces and a rear surface, is mounted behind the light truck 1. The transparent luggage compartment 2 is capable of storing a large amount of luggage therein, and allows an operator to take out or take in the luggage therein through the transparent members constituting the above three surfaces (details). Will be described later). Further, in the present embodiment, the advertisement display unit 3 for displaying characters or graphics of the advertisement for the owner of the light truck or the advertisement for the third party on the three surfaces (transparent parts). Are formed. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 1, a letter indicating an advertisement "ABC" is displayed relatively large on the advertisement display section 3 on the right side of the transparent cargo compartment 2.

In the present embodiment, an illuminating unit 4 for illuminating the advertisement display unit 3 from inside to outside at night is provided inside the transparent luggage compartment 2. The advertisement display section 3 is illuminated by the light from the illumination section 4, and when viewed from outside, the letters or graphics are very clearly displayed as “floating in the air at night”. It becomes visible. The position where the lighting section 4 is provided may be anywhere within the transparent luggage compartment 2, but in the example shown in FIG. 1, it is located at a position slightly closer to the driver's seat on both left and right sides of the transparent luggage compartment 2. Each is arranged. The reason why the illuminating unit 4 is arranged at a position close to the driver's seat as described above is because "it is close to the power supply". In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, in the present embodiment, the illumination unit 4 emits light in a slightly downward direction (in the example of FIG. , That is, so as to irradiate light from a substantially upward direction to a substantially downward direction). This is because both sides and the rear side of the luggage compartment 2 are transparent, so if light is irradiated upward or horizontally, the driver of another car traveling behind may feel dazzling. It is possible to avoid it.

Next, a detailed configuration of the transparent cargo room 2 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 11 denotes a metal cubic frame for forming a rectangular parallelepiped frame. The surface of the cubic frame 11 in two directions, that is, the ceiling portion and the front direction (the running direction of the light truck 1), is formed of a rigid metal plate. On the other hand, the remaining four surfaces of the three-dimensional frame 11, that is, the four surfaces in total, ie, the left and right side surfaces, the rearward direction, and the bottom surface, have large openings except for the frame portion. In other words, the cubic frame 11 is formed with a total of four large openings: an opening 11a on the right side, an opening 11b on the left side, an opening 11c on the back, and an opening 11d on the bottom. I have. An opening 10 for providing a transparent window for viewing the rear from the driver's seat is formed in a front surface (a surface on the driver's seat side) of the cubic frame 11. A transparent acrylic resin plate is fitted into the opening 10.

The opening 11 d on the bottom surface is opened so that the loading platform of the light truck 1 can be used as it is at the bottom of the transparent cargo compartment 2 of the present embodiment. In other words, in the present embodiment, the transparent luggage compartment 2 is formed of a substantially square cover (a ceiling portion of the luggage compartment, both left and right sides) formed by a cubic frame as shown in FIG. Surface, front, and rear), and a cargo platform that forms the bottom of the luggage compartment.

Next, two sliding doors 12, 13 shown in FIG. 5 are inserted into the opening 11a on the right side. These two sliding doors 12 and 13 are composed of aluminum frames 12a and 13a and transparent acrylic plates 12b and 13b fitted in the frames 12a and 13a, respectively. These two sliding doors 12 and 13 are inserted into the guide grooves 14 and 15 of the opening 11a, respectively. The inserted two sliding doors 12 and 13 are guided by the guide grooves 14 and 15 and can be moved in the direction α in FIG. Therefore, the operator can open and close the sliding doors 12 and 13 to open and close the luggage from the outside in the transparent luggage compartment 2 and take the luggage out of the transparent luggage compartment 2 to the outside. Can be. A ventilation window 13c made of aluminum is formed above the sliding door 13, and the ventilation inside the transparent luggage compartment 2 is performed by the ventilation window 13c.

In addition, two sliding doors 16 and 17 shown in FIG. 5 are inserted into the opening 11 c on the rear surface of the cubic frame 11. These two sliding doors 16 and 17 are composed of aluminum frames 16a and 17a and transparent acrylic plates 16b and 17b fitted into the frames 16a and 17a, respectively. These two sliding doors 16 and 17 are inserted into the guide grooves 18 and 19 of the opening 11c, respectively. These two inserted sliding doors 16 and 17 are guided by the guide grooves 18 and 19 and can be moved in the direction β in FIG. Thus, the worker can open and close the sliding doors 16 and 17 to open and close the luggage in the transparent luggage compartment 2 from the outside or take the luggage out of the transparent luggage compartment 2 to the outside. be able to. A ventilation window 17c made of aluminum is formed above the sliding door 17, and the ventilation inside the transparent luggage compartment 2 is performed by the ventilation window 17c. In this embodiment, not only the opening 11a on the right side and the opening 11c on the rear side, but also the opening 11b on the left side, two sliding doors (see reference numerals 21 and 22 in FIG. 6). ) Is inserted, but since this portion is symmetrical with the opening 11a on the right side, the description is omitted.

The transparent luggage compartment configured as described above is mounted and fixed on the bed of a conventional used truck. This makes it very easy to realize a light truck with a transparent luggage compartment. In other words, in the present embodiment, based on the conventional used light truck 1, the luggage part around the carrier (the portion of the plate attached to both sides of the carrier and the rear of the carrier, the luggage slips off the carrier). 5), and a substantially square-shaped cubic frame 11 (including a sliding door) as shown in FIG. 5 is placed on the carrier from which the tilting portion has been removed. Just by fixing, light trucks with a transparent luggage compartment can be manufactured very easily. As described above, in the present embodiment, the bed of the existing used truck is diverted as it is as the bottom of the transparent luggage compartment. It is possible to provide a light truck with a transparent luggage compartment. Therefore, in this embodiment, the manufacture of a light truck with a transparent luggage compartment can be realized with extremely low cost and short delivery time. According to the prototype of the present inventor, by remodeling a used light truck, including the cost of the original vehicle and the remodeling cost, it costs about 900,000 yen to 1,400,000 yen, and the cost is reduced. It was found that it could be provided in a short delivery time of about one week. (In contrast to the method of the present embodiment described above, if the bottom of the transparent luggage compartment is to be configured separately from the luggage carrier at the rear of the existing truck, the chassis of the existing used truck is first removed to expose the chassis. Then, it is necessary to mount a transparent cargo room (with a bottom plate) directly on the chassis, so that the production becomes large and the production cost and production period become extremely large and long. I will.)

Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, since the transparent luggage compartment is made of a lightweight aluminum frame and the frame of the sliding door is made of lightweight aluminum, the entire transparent luggage compartment can be reduced in weight. As a result, the fuel consumption of the entire vehicle can be saved.

Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, since the cover portion made of a transparent material is formed on the bed of the light truck (the structure of the transparent cargo room 2), it is placed on the bed. No rain, dust, etc. will adhere to your luggage. Therefore, it is possible to satisfy necessary hygiene conditions for the transportation of beverages such as milk and foods such as bread. Therefore, it will be possible to provide excellent outdoor mobile advertising using transparent materials while transporting large quantities of beverages and foods such as milk. Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, an opening 10 is formed in the front (driver's seat side) surface of the transparent luggage compartment 2, and a transparent acrylic plate is fitted into the opening 10. I have. Therefore, the driver can visually recognize the situation behind the vehicle directly from the opening 10 via the transparent luggage compartment 2. Therefore, operations such as backward movement of the vehicle can be easily performed. In the past, because the rear luggage compartment was opaque, it was extremely difficult to check the rear, and measures such as installing cameras and mirrors in the upper rear of the container were taken (this required extra costs). However, in the present embodiment, such cameras and mirrors are not required (thus reducing manufacturing costs), and safety and driving operability when moving the vehicle backward can be further improved. Become so.

Next, FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the transparent cargo compartment 2 seen through from above. In the present embodiment, the sliding doors (transparent members) 12 and 13 inserted into the openings 11a on the right side of the cubic frame 11 are arranged in the traveling direction of the vehicle (light truck 1) indicated by arrow A in the figure. The sliding door 12 on the side closer to the vehicle (front of the vehicle) protrudes outward than the sliding door 13 on the other side (rear of the vehicle). The sliding doors (transparent members) 20 and 21 inserted into the openings 11b on the left side of the cubic frame 11 are located on the side closer to the traveling direction of the vehicle (in front of the vehicle) as indicated by arrow A in the figure. The door 20 is disposed so as to protrude outward from the other sliding door 21 (rear side of the vehicle). With such a configuration, in the present embodiment, stable traveling can be ensured even when the light truck 1 travels in a strong wind or on a highway. That is, as described above, the two sliding doors 12, 13 or 20, 21 on the side face respectively project outward in the traveling direction of the vehicle (in the direction of arrow A) so that the sliding doors 12 and 13 or 20 and 21 respectively protrude outward. The configuration in which the rearward direction is retracted inward prevents problems such as instability of vehicle operation due to strong wind colliding with the protrusion on the side of the luggage compartment. In other words, contrary to the configuration of the present embodiment, when the vehicle travels in the direction of the arrow (direction of arrow A) retracts inward and the rear of the vehicle protrudes outward, the strong wind The operation of the vehicle becomes extremely unstable when hitting the projecting portion in the direction, but this can be avoided by adopting the configuration as in the present embodiment. .

Further, in the present embodiment, the characters / graphics (the characters “ABC” in the example of the figure) displayed on the advertisement display unit 3 are directly applied to the acrylic plates 12 b and 13 b with a paint containing a phosphor. It is desirable that the information be displayed or displayed by attaching a cut seal (tape) containing a phosphor on the acrylic plates 12b and 13b. When characters or graphics are displayed on the advertisement display unit 3 using such a material containing a fluorescent substance, by illuminating the interior of the transparent luggage compartment 2 with the illumination unit 4 at night or in dim light, Characters and graphics including phosphors appear to “float in the darkness of the night,” and these characters and graphics stand out so that they can be clearly seen in the night space. Will be exhibited.

In this embodiment, a known illuminance sensor (not shown) is connected to the illumination unit 4, and ON / OFF of the illumination unit 4 is controlled based on an output signal from the illuminance sensor. Is being done. That is, the illuminance sensor detects the surrounding brightness, and outputs a predetermined signal when the surrounding brightness falls below a predetermined level (or above a predetermined level). The illumination unit 4 automatically starts (or stops) illumination based on control by a control device (microcomputer) that receives the output from the sensor. As a result, even if the driver does not have to operate the lighting unit 4 each time, the lighting unit 4 automatically turns on and off in response to changes in the surrounding brightness, thereby reducing the burden on the driver. it can. Also, if the driver does not have the illumination sensor and control device, the driver will forget to operate the lighting unit. However, in the present invention, the provision of the illuminance sensor and the control device as described above effectively prevents the driver from inadvertently losing the opportunity to exhibit the advertising effect. It has become so.

Further, in the transparent luggage compartment of the present embodiment, the sliding doors 12, 13, 16, 17 can be easily removed and attached even by a novice user of a car remodeling. Thus, for example, in the morning, the user attaches a sliding door displaying a picture depicting a scene in which the rising sun rises, and in the evening, displays the sliding door displaying a picture depicting a scene in which the setting sun falls. It is possible to replace it with a sliding door, and at night, replace it with a sliding door displaying a picture depicting the night sky.

Although the present embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications are possible. For example, it is possible to equip the transparent cargo room with a heater to keep the transparent cargo room warm (useful for transporting warm plants such as flowers in winter). Further, by sending cool air from the cooler duct into the transparent luggage compartment, it is also possible to keep the transparent luggage compartment cool. Furthermore, it is possible to provide the transparent cargo room with a refrigeration function and a freezing function.

In this embodiment, the rear part of the transparent luggage compartment 2 behind the driver's seat is made of an opaque metal plate (only a part of the transparent window is provided). The rear part of the seat may be entirely or partially made of a transparent material. In this way, the driver can visually recognize the rear of the vehicle from the driver's seat through the rear transparent luggage compartment 2, so that there is a merit that driving becomes easier. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the ceiling of the transparent luggage compartment is made of an opaque metal plate, but this ceiling can also be made of a transparent plate. The whole is brighter and more open.

Also, in the present embodiment, the characters and figures to be displayed on the advertisement display unit 3 are displayed directly on the sliding door with paint or by applying a cut tape, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Is not limited to this. For example, characters and figures are displayed on a “thin transparent plate or transparent film”, and the transparent plate or the transparent film is attached to the sliding door made of the transparent acrylic plate (the advertisement display described above). Section).

In this embodiment, a transparent acrylic resin plate is used as the transparent plate used for the sliding doors 12, 13, 16, and 17, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, a colored transparent or translucent plate such as red, green, yellow, blue, or white may be used for the sliding door. In this way, it is possible to show up the transparent luggage room with the user's favorite color and the color noticed by the general public.

Further, if the sliding door is used by temporarily replacing the one fitted with a colored opaque plate such as red, green, yellow, blue, white, etc. The luggage room can be show-up with boards of different colors and colors noticed by the general public.

Further, in the present embodiment, a normal transparent acrylic resin plate is used for the sliding door of the transparent luggage compartment. However, in the present invention, for example, a light control plate (a liquid crystal sealed inside) is used. A plate that can be arbitrarily switched between a transparent state and a ground glass opaque state depending on whether or not a voltage is applied to the liquid crystal may be used. In this way, the user can keep the sliding door in a transparent state when luggage that can be seen from the outside is stored in the transparent luggage compartment, so that the transparent luggage compartment can be seen from the outside. If you are storing something you don't want (companies or privacy concerns), you can convert the sliding door to a slimy, opaque state.

In the present embodiment, a normal transparent acrylic resin plate is used for the sliding door of the transparent luggage compartment. However, in the present invention, for example, “including the liquid crystal display panel (including (A "transparent plate incorporating a liquid crystal display panel" is already known. For example, JP-A-6-51711 discloses a thin display panel). Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 5-58287 discloses a vehicle in which a transparent liquid crystal display panel is provided on a transparent plate of a window portion of a vehicle. Information display device). With this configuration, the user can display characters, a still image, a moving image, and the like indicating an appropriate advertisement on the advertisement display unit on the side of the transparent luggage room as needed by controlling the liquid crystal display panel. Also, various kinds of advertisements can be switched and displayed at predetermined time intervals. Instead of the liquid crystal display panel, an EL (electroluminescence) display panel, an FED (field emission display) panel, or the like can be used.

In the present embodiment, the sliding doors 12, 13, 16, 17 attached to the cubic frame 11 employ standard products mass-produced for ordinary houses. Therefore, only the cubic frame 11 is made of aluminum, for example, and is produced as a special order. However, the sliding doors are inexpensive standard products (eg, 1207 mm long, 1240 mm wide, 70 mm thick). The production cost of the transparent luggage compartment 2 is extremely low. Further, as described above, the transparent luggage compartment 2 covers the upright-covered cover portion (the cubic frame 11 and the sliding doors 12, 13, 16, and 17) from above from above the ordinary truck bed. Since it is only fixed with screws, the installation work of the transparent luggage compartment 2 to the vehicle can be performed extremely easily and at low cost.

Further, in the present embodiment, the sliding door can be easily removed and attached by the user. Therefore, for example, a sliding door into which a plurality of types of transparent acrylic resin plates such as colorless transparent, red transparent, and blue transparent are fitted is prepared in advance. Then, the user can selectively attach (remove) the plurality of kinds of transparent sliding doors prepared in advance according to the situation at the place and the contents of the advertisement.

Also, in the present embodiment, an illuminator for illuminating the rear of the vehicle at night is mounted on the vehicle or in the transparent luggage compartment (for example, at the position indicated by A or B in FIG. 1 in conjunction with the backlight). In this case, the driver can use the illumination from the illuminator at night to clear the rear of the vehicle through the transparent openings 11a, 11b, 11c, and 11d of the transparent luggage compartment. The situation can be checked very easily, and driving operability is greatly improved.

In this embodiment, if a solar cell and a ventilation fan driven by the solar cell are provided, the air in the transparent luggage compartment can be circulated to the outside in summer, so that High temperatures can be prevented. In particular, if a temperature sensor and a microcomputer are provided and the ventilation fan is controlled to be ON / OFF by a signal from the temperature sensor, if the temperature of the transparent luggage compartment is detected to be equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, it is automatically set. Since the ventilating fan operates, the transparent cargo room is always kept at a predetermined temperature (for example, 40 ° C.) or lower.

In the present embodiment, the illuminating unit 4 provided in the transparent luggage compartment and illuminating the advertisement display unit 3 at night emits light of a plurality of colors such as red, blue, green, and yellow. For example, those that can selectively irradiate based on the operation of the user (driver, etc.) are employed. As a result, the color of the light of the lighting unit can be changed according to the surrounding situation and the content of the advertisement, so that a stronger advertisement effect can be exhibited.

Further, in the present embodiment, characters or graphics are displayed on the advertisement display section 3 with a cut tape or paint, but in the present invention, for example, a poster is placed on the transparent sliding door. , The advertisement may be displayed. Also, characters or graphics may be displayed on a transparent film and attached to the transparent side surface of the transparent luggage compartment.

In the present invention, an openable / closable roll curtain, blind, curtain, or the like may be provided on the transparent side surface or the rear surface (back surface) of the transparent luggage compartment. In this embodiment, the sliding door is attached to the side of the transparent luggage compartment, but in the present invention, instead of the sliding door, a double door type transparent door or a flip-up (upward opening) is used. A transparent mold door may be attached. In this embodiment, the transparent acrylic plate is fitted into the sliding door, but in the present invention, a transparent polycarbonate resin plate may be fitted.

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the left and right sides and the rear surface are provided with a box-shaped transparent luggage compartment in which almost all of the three sides are transparent or almost transparent. An advertisement display section is formed on at least one of the surfaces, and the characters and figures displayed on the advertisement display section are illuminated from inside to outside by the lighting section at night. At the same time, it is possible to use the side of the transparent luggage room as "outdoor advertising signboard and mobile advertising signboard with strong advertising effect" while storing luggage. In particular, in the present invention, since the surface used as an advertising sign is a transparent plate existing in the space, the side of the luggage compartment can be used as an "advertising plate with extremely high advertising value".

That is, in general, as for the advertising board, the “advertising value” of the transparent board is markedly higher than that of the opaque board because “the displayed characters and graphics appear in the space and stand out”. . In addition, in the present invention, this transparent plate can be used not only as an "outdoor advertisement" that exists in the outdoor space, but also as a "mobile advertisement" by using it as a side of the luggage compartment of a running vehicle. I have. Therefore, in the present invention, the luggage room for carrying a large amount of luggage can be used at the same time as a “transparent advertising board”, a “medium with extremely high advertising value”. Also, in the present invention, the characters and figures for the advertisement are illuminated at night by the lighting unit provided in the transparent cargo room, so that at night, only the characters and figures in the dark space at night are displayed. It will look very sharp and prominent, ”and will be able to exert an extremely strong advertising effect.

Also, in the present invention, the back of the conventional existing vehicle is used as it is as the bottom of the transparent luggage compartment. Therefore, only a partial modification of the existing existing vehicle is required. It is possible to easily provide a vehicle with a transparent luggage compartment. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the manufacture of the light truck with the transparent luggage compartment can be realized with extremely low cost and short delivery time. Contrary to the method of the present invention, if the bottom of the transparent luggage compartment is to be configured separately from the existing luggage carrier at the rear of the vehicle, the existing luggage carrier such as a used truck is first removed to expose the chassis. Since it is necessary to mount a transparent luggage compartment (with a bottom plate) directly on the chassis, the production becomes large-scale, and the production cost and production period become great.

Further, in the present invention, since the transparent opening for rear confirmation is provided at a portion behind the driver's seat of the transparent luggage compartment, the driver can easily move the rear of the vehicle through the transparent luggage compartment. In addition to improved visibility and improved driving operability and safety, there is no need to use a mirror or camera that was conventionally mounted behind the vehicle, thus reducing manufacturing costs.

In addition, if an advertisement display section is formed on the upper surface of the ceiling of the transparent luggage compartment, it becomes possible for residents of high-rise apartments and the like to visually recognize the advertisement from above. The advertising effect of the room can be enhanced.

Further, in the present invention, the transparent side surface of the transparent luggage compartment is constituted by a sliding door portion which is combined so that the two transparent plates can be opened and closed by pulling each other. By opening and closing the sliding door, the operator can very easily load and unload the luggage. Further, since the side surface of the transparent luggage compartment is constituted by a sliding door, the side surface of the transparent luggage compartment is manufactured with higher strength and at lower cost as compared with the case where the side surface is constituted by a swing door or the like. become able to.

Further, in the present invention, the sliding door portion is arranged such that the transparent plate on the front side of the vehicle out of the two transparent plates in the sliding relationship with each other projects outside the other transparent plate. Since the doors are located, it is possible to effectively prevent the vehicle from becoming unstable when a strong wind or the like hits the connecting part of the sliding door (projecting part on the side of the luggage compartment) during strong winds or high-speed driving.

Further, in the present invention, the advertisement display section is formed on the two transparent plates which are in a pulling relation with each other and constitute the respective sliding door sections. It is formed in an extremely wide range, and it is possible to display letters and graphics for advertisement very large and prominently.

Further, in the present invention, since the rear side of the transparent luggage compartment is constituted by a sliding door portion formed by combining two transparent plates so as to be able to open and close with each other, the operator is required The luggage between the transparent luggage compartment and the outside can be freely taken in and out from the rear side of the transparent luggage compartment.

Further, in the present invention, the characters and figures displayed on the advertisement display section are displayed by using a material including a fluorescent material. When it is illuminated by light, characters and figures appear to rise in the nighttime space (and while traveling), but the appearance of the characters is more clearly and conspicuous due to the fluorescent light of the phosphor, and a stronger advertising effect Will be exhibited.

Further, in the present invention, since the illumination unit is provided so as to irradiate the light from substantially upward to substantially downward, the vehicle equipped with the transparent luggage compartment of the present invention has the above-described illumination during traveling at night. When the light is emitted from the bright part, the inconvenience of dazzling the driver of another vehicle traveling behind due to the light can be effectively avoided.

Further, in the present invention, the surrounding brightness is detected by the illuminance sensor, and a predetermined signal is output when the surrounding brightness becomes equal to or lower than the predetermined level. The lighting unit is controlled based on the signal. Therefore, according to the present invention, when the surrounding brightness falls below a predetermined level, the lighting unit automatically starts lighting. The burden can be reduced. In addition, it is possible to eliminate the situation where the lighting unit did not operate at night due to forgetting to operate the driver, and the advertising effect could not be fully exhibited. In other words, the driver's carelessness will not miss the opportunity to exert the advertising effect. Therefore, the advertising function (at night) of the transparent luggage compartment can be more reliably exhibited, and the advertising value of the transparent luggage compartment can be further enhanced.

Also, in the present invention, if the sliding door is provided with a light control plate, the light control plate is changed to an opaque state when the luggage in the transparent luggage compartment is not to be seen by others. This makes it possible to prevent the luggage in the luggage compartment from being seen by others.

Further, in the present invention, if the sliding door is provided with a display panel such as a liquid crystal display panel, it is possible to display characters, still images, and moving images for advertisement on the side of the transparent luggage compartment. Further, various kinds of advertisements can be arbitrarily switched and displayed for each possession.
