Abstract

An auto return structure of a luggage room screen may include a guide portion formed to a luggage side trim toward the rear of a vehicle body, and a reinforcement board wherein the guide portion includes a guide groove formed to the luggage side trim toward the rear of the vehicle body and slidably receiving an end portion of the reinforcement board therein, a movement groove formed to connect from ends of the lower and upper surfaces of the guide groove toward an upper part of the vehicle body to guide the end portion of the reinforcement board toward the upper part of the vehicle, and a locking protrusion formed on an upper connection portion connecting the movement groove and the upper surface of the guide groove and to which the end portion of the reinforcement board may be selectively inserted and fixed.

Claims

1. (canceled)

2. An auto return structure of a luggage room screen, comprising:

a guide portion formed to a luggage side trim toward the rear of a vehicle body; and

a reinforcement board movably installed in the guide portion to draw out a screen that is wound on a screen housing provided in the luggage side trim;

wherein the guide portion includes;

a guide groove formed to the luggage side trim toward the rear of the vehicle body and slidably receiving an end portion of the reinforcement board therein to guide the end portion of the reinforcement board toward the rear of the vehicle body, wherein the guide groove has an upper surface and a lower surface;

a movement groove formed to connect from ends of the lower and upper surfaces of the guide groove toward an upper part of the vehicle body with a predetermined distance to guide the end portion of the reinforcement board toward the upper part of the vehicle body along the movement groove; and

a locking protrusion which is formed on an upper connection portion connecting the movement groove and the upper surface of the guide groove and to which the end portion of the reinforcement board is selectively inserted and fixed, and

wherein the end portion includes an upper leg and a lower leg and a locking groove is formed therebetween.

3. The auto return structure according to claim 2, wherein the upper leg of the end portion is selectively engaged between the locking protrusion and an inner surface of the movement guide.

4. The auto return structure according to claim 3, wherein a mass center of the end portion of the reinforcement board is formed to be offset upwards from a mass center of the locking protrusion while the locking protrusion is inserted and fixed to the locking groove.

5. The auto return structure according to claim 2, wherein the locking protrusion is formed to project in inclination toward a lower part of the vehicle body with a predetermined angle, and is selectively inserted and fixed to a locking groove formed on the end portion of the reinforcement board.

6. The auto return structure according to claim 5, wherein an upper surface of the locking groove is formed in inclination substantially at the same inclination angle as that of the locking protrusion while the locking protrusion is inserted and fixed to the locking groove.

7. The auto return structure according to claim 6, wherein on an upper portion of the movement groove, an upper support portion is formed to the movement groove to position the locking protrusion and the locking groove substantially on the same line to support the end portion of the reinforcement board.

8. The auto return structure according to claim 6, wherein a lower connection portion connecting the movement groove and the lower surface of the guide groove has a lower support portion formed thereon in which the end portion of the reinforcement board is selectively locked, and

the lower support portion is formed along a vertical line of the locking protrusion.

9. The auto return structure according to claim 8, wherein the distance between the lower support portion and the locking protrusion is set to be equal to or longer than a longitudinal length of the end portion of the reinforcement board.

10. The auto return structure according to claim 8, wherein the guide groove is formed to be bent toward the lower part of the vehicle body as being curved toward the rear of the vehicle body.

11. The auto return structure according to claim 8, wherein an inclination angle b°

of an inclined surface of the lower support portion that is connected to the guide groove is set to be larger than an inclination angle a°

of the locking protrusion.

12. The auto return structure according to claim 8, wherein an inclination angle c°

of an inclined surface of the movement groove that is connected to the lower support portion is set to be larger than an inclination angle b°

of the inclined surface of the lower support portion.

13. The auto return structure according to claim 8, wherein an inclination angle d°

from the upper support portion to the lower support portion around the locking protrusion is set to be larger than an inclination angle c°

of the inclined surface of the movement groove that is connected to the lower support unit.
