Boot of a motor vehicle
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a trunk of a motor vehicle, having a goods rail ( 14 ) which is oriented approximately in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L) of the vehicle and is intended for fixing goods to be transported. In the event of a rear impact, penetration into a seat region arranged in front of the trunk is prevented by reducing the effective of the goods rail ( 14 ), by the goods rail ( 14 ) being composed of at least two partial rails ( 15, 16 ). According to the invention, the separating plane ( 17 ) between the partial rails ( 15, 16 ) runs in an obliquely inclined manner.
1. A passenger vehicle trunk arrangement disposed behind a passenger seat region, comprising:
a longitudinal member extending along a trunk bottom region; and
a goods rail oriented approximately in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle and serving for fixing goods to be transported; wherein,
said goods rail is composed of at least a front partial rail and a rear partial rail which are separated by a separating plane between them, said separating plane extending in an obliquely inclined manner so as to prevent said goods rail from penetrating the seat region in the event of a rear impact;
the goods rail overlaps with the longitudinal member;
a hollow profile shell is placed onto a region of the longitudinal member that is mounted forward of the separating plane; and
a cavity is formed between the hollow profile shell and the longitudinal member for receiving the rear partial rail in the event of a rear impact.
2. The passenger vehicle trunk arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the separation plane extends transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction in a manner rising from the front to the rear.
3. The passenger vehicle trunk arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the separating plane extends approximately in a center of the goods rail.
4. The passenger vehicle trunk arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the separating plane extends approximately in a center of the goods rail.
5. The passenger vehicle trunk arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the cavity is designed in such a manner that the rear partial rail is inevitably guided downward.
6. The passenger vehicle trunk arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the goods rail has an upwardly open U-shaped cross section.
7. The passenger vehicle trunk arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the goods rail has an upwardly open U-shaped cross section.
8. The passenger vehicle trunk arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein the goods rail has an upwardly open U-shaped cross section.
9. The passenger vehicle trunk arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein the goods rail has an upwardly open U-shaped cross section.
10. The passenger vehicle trunk arrangement according to claim 5 , wherein the goods rail has an upwardly open U-shaped cross section.
11. A station wagon vehicle comprising:
a rear seat section;
a trunk space behind the rear seat section;
at least one goods rail for fixing goods to be transported, said goods rail extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and being composed of at least two partial rails, including a rear partial rail and a front partial rail which are separated by a separating plane between them, said separating plane extending in an obliquely inclined manner so as to prevent said goods rail from penetrating the seat region in the event of a rear impact,
a longitudinal member extending below the goods rail; and
a hollow profile shell placed onto a region of the longitudinal member that is mounted forward of the separation plane;
wherein a cavity is formed between the hollow profile shell and the longitudinal member for receiving the rear partial rail in the event of a rear impact.
12. A vehicle according to 11 , wherein two of said goods rails are provided, one on each lateral side of the rear seat section.
13. A vehicle according to 11 , wherein the separating plane is sloped so as to direct the rear partial rail underneath the adjacent forward partial rail in the event of a rear impact.
