CARGO TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE

発明の概要

A cargo transporting vehicle of the present invention can be changed in form by itself to the plain body type, the flap type, the container type or a compound of flap type and container type, depending upon the type of cargoes to be loaded thereon. With such a cargo transporting vehicle, the cargo storage unit can be moved and freely loaded and unloaded.
The cargo storage unit includes a top unit, intermediate units, and an end unit, and the storage unit is loaded on the cargo loading platform of the vehicle, such as the rear deck of a truck.
By loading a flap unit inside of the cargo storage unit, the cargo storage chamber can be double-structured. With this cargo transporting vehicle, the cargo storage chamber can be easily assembled and folded. The cargo transporting vehicle minimized the need for idle running or wasted return trips resulting in an improvement in operation efficiency and transportation efficiency as well as an improvement in workability in loading and unloading of cargoes.

5. The cargo transporting vehicle of claim 1, wherein a double rail member is provided at said sides of said cargo loading platform, and said flap unit is movably engaged with an inside rail of said double rail member, while a container unit is movably engaged with an outside rail of said double rail member.
6. The cargo transporting vehicle of claim 5, wherein said container unit comprises:
   a top unit, which is installed on the X side,
   an end unit, which is installed on the rear side, and
   at least one intermediate unit which is installed between said top unit said end unit.
7. The cargo transporting vehicle of claim 6, wherein each of said top unit, said end unit and said intermediate unit comprising:
   two pillar s located at said sides of said cargo loading platform, and a beam connecting said pillars to each other.
8. The cargo transporting vehicle of claim 7, wherein said container unit comprises boards attached to said pillars and/or said beam so that said boards can be pivotally swung.
9. The cargo transporting vehicle of claim 7, wherein said container unit comprises a shutter.
10. The cargo transporting vehicle of claim 9, wherein said shutter is accommodated in said top unit.
11. The cargo transporting vehicle of claim 10, wherein said shutter is accommodated in said intermediate unit.
12. The cargo transporting vehicle of claim 9, wherein said pillars of top unit, said end unit or said intermediate unit are connected with pillars of an adjacent unit by means of folding connecting members.
13. The cargo transporting vehicle of claim 7, wherein said walls of said container unit are formed with shutters and boards attached to said pillars and/or said beams so that they can be pivotally swung.

CARGO CARRYING VEHICLE

発明の概要

A cargo carrying vehicle capable of switching its shape among a flat body type, a flap type, a container type and a combination of the flat body flap types to match the type of cargo to be loaded, comprising guide members provided on its platform or a loading platform of a truck, and a foldable and extensible sealing cargo store chamber consisting of two sides and a ceiling integrally formed by connecting plate-shaped reinforcing materials with sheet-shaped exterior materials and adapted to be movable engaged with the guide members. The cargo store chamber can be double-structured by fitting additional flaps inside thereof. This cargo carrying vehicle can provide the cargo store chamber with a sealing feature to completely block winds and rains during transportation by the integrated structure of the two sides and a ceiling of the chamber by the connection of the plate-shaped reinforcing materials with the sheet-shaped exterior materials. Furthermore, required strength and rigidity can be provided to the cargo store chamber, and the folding and extending of the cargo store chamber facilitated.

請求範囲

I claim:

1. A cargo carrying vehicle, comprising:
   (a) a platform;
   (b) guide members installed on the platform; and
   (c) a foldable and expandable cargo containing chamber including two sidewalls and a ceiling, the chamber being movably engaged with the guide members the chamber comprising:
   (i) a top unit comprising a fixed member for constituting a front wall of the cargo containing chamber and a first piece of a foldable and expandable cargo containing chamber wall, the wall being integrally and sealingly formed of plate-shaped reinforcement materials connected with sheet-shaped exterior materials,
   (ii) a predetermined number of intermediary units, each of the intermediary units including a second piece of a foldable and expandable cargo containing chamber wall, the wall being integrally and sealingly formed of plate-shaped reinforcement materials connected with sheet-shaped exterior materials, and
   (iii) an end unit comprising a member for constituting a rear wall of the cargo containing chamber,
   (iv) wherein the respective units are movably engaged with the guide members.
2. The cargo carrying vehicle according to claim 1, said cargo carrying vehicle further comprising engaging means for engaging contiguous units.
3. The cargo carrying vehicle according to claim 1, wherein each of the top unit, the intermediary units and the end unit comprises two posts installed at two side portions of the platform and a beam connecting upper ends of the two posts, the beam is installed with a horizontal rain gutter, and the posts are installed with vertical rain gutters communicating with the horizontal rain gutter.
