Motor vehicle
View Patent ↗A motor vehicle has a rear seat bench, a storage compartment arranged behind the rear seat bench in the direction of travel, and a storage compartment floor. A hat shelf is positionable behind the rear seat bench in a usage position such that it separates a passenger compartment from the storage compartment. In order to thereby provide an easily actuatable hat shelf which is also sturdy when in its non-usage position in the motor vehicle, a gap is provided between the rear seat bench and the storage compartment floor. The hat shelf and the gap interact such that the hat shelf can be inserted into the gap in a non-usage position and can be fixed to the rear seat bench via a fixation device such that, in its non-usage position, the hat shelf adjoins a rear side of the rear seat bench.
1. A motor vehicle comprising:
a rear seat bench,
a storage compartment arranged behind the rear seat bench in a direction of travel,
a storage compartment floor of the storage compartment,
a hat shelf positionable behind the rear seat bench when in a usage position of the hat shelf such that the hat shelf separates a passenger compartment from the storage compartment,
a gap disposed between the rear seat bench and the storage compartment floor,
receptacles on the rear side of the rear seat bench, and
hinge elements on the hat shelf that are insertable into respective receptacles such that the hat shelf is rotatable relative to the rear seat bench about the hinge elements,
wherein the hat shelf and the gap interact with one another such that the hat shelf is configured to be inserted into the gap when in a non-usage position of the hat shelf and the hat shelf is configured to be fixed to the rear seat bench via a fixation device such that the hat shelf adjoins a rear side of the rear seat bench when the hat shelf is in the non-usage position, and
wherein the hinge elements form a stop on the hat shelf when the hat shelf is inserted into the gap,
wherein the stop on the hat shelf is sized to overlap the gap such that the stop bears on an edge of the storage compartment floor in the non-usage position.
2. A motor vehicle comprising:
a rear seat bench,
a storage compartment arranged behind the rear seat bench in a direction of travel,
a storage compartment floor of the storage compartment,
a hat shelf positionable behind the rear seat bench when in a usage position of the hat shelf such that the hat shelf separates a passenger compartment from the storage compartment, and
a gap disposed between the rear seat bench and the storage compartment floor,
wherein the hat shelf and the gap interact with one another such that the hat shelf is configured to be inserted into the gap when in a non-usage position of the hat shelf and the hat shelf is configured to be fixed to the rear seat bench via a fixation device such that the hat shelf adjoins a rear side of the rear seat bench when the hat shelf is in the non-usage position,
wherein the fixation device comprises an elastic band having a first fixation element and a second fixation element, the longitudinal ends of which are attached to the elastic band, wherein the first fixation element and the second fixation element are fixable or firmly fixed to the hat shelf, while the elastic band wraps around a head support of the rear seat bench and thereby biases the hat shelf against the rear side of the rear seat bench when the hat shelf is in the non-usage position.
3. The motor vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the first fixation element or the second fixation element is a hook or a snap.
4. The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the fixation device comprises an elastic band having a first fixation element and a second fixation element, the longitudinal ends of which are attached to the elastic band, wherein the first fixing element is fixable or firmly fixed to the hat shelf, while the second fixing element is connected to a rod of a head support, thereby biasing the hat shelf against the rear side of the rear seat bench when the hat shelf is in its non-usage position.
5. The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein, in the non-usage position, the fixation device is configured to be fixed to a bottom side of the hat shelf and/or to a side wall of the storage compartment.
6. The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising lashing rings on the rear side of the rear seat bench, and wherein the fixation device comprises a retaining contour that is configured to be connected to one of the lashing rings and the hat shelf and thereby retain the hat shelf at the rear side of the rear seat bench when the hat shelf is in the non-usage position.
7. A motor vehicle comprising:
a rear seat bench,
a storage compartment arranged behind the rear seat bench in a direction of travel,
a storage compartment floor of the storage compartment,
a hat shelf positionable behind the rear seat bench when in a usage position of the hat shelf such that the hat shelf separates a passenger compartment from the storage compartment,
a gap disposed between the rear seat bench and the storage compartment floor, and
lashing rings on the rear side of the rear seat bench, and wherein the fixation device comprises a retaining contour that is configured to be connected to one of the lashing rings and the hat shelf and thereby retain the hat shelf at the rear side of the rear seat bench when the hat shelf is in the non-usage position,
wherein the hat shelf and the gap interact with one another such that the hat shelf is configured to be inserted into the gap when in a non-usage position of the hat shelf and the hat shelf is configured to be fixed to the rear seat bench via a fixation device such that the hat shelf adjoins a rear side of the rear seat bench when the hat shelf is in the non-usage position,
wherein the retaining contour wraps around an edge of the hat shelf.
8. The motor vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the fixation device comprises a magnetic element and a ferromagnetic element, and/or the fixation device comprises a snap fastener tape or a hook-and-loop fastener.
