Abstract

A rear structure of a vehicle includes: a recess (4) that is provided at rear (1R) of the vehicle and recessed in a front direction of the vehicle; and a partition member (3) that partitions the recess in a vertical direction of the vehicle. The partition member (3) is provided to be movable to a rear side, an upper side, or a lower side of the recess (4) so as to separate from the recess (4).

Claims

1. A rear structure of a vehicle comprising:

a recess that is provided at rear of the vehicle and recessed in at least a front direction of the vehicle; and

a partition member that partitions the recess in at least a vertical direction of the vehicle, wherein

the partition member is provided to be movable to a rear side, an upper side, or a lower side of the recess so as to separate from the recess.

2. The rear structure of the vehicle according to claim 1, comprising:

a driving mechanism that drives the partition member, wherein

the driving mechanism moves the partition member when the vehicle travels.

3. The rear structure of the vehicle according to claim 1, wherein

the partition member is configured to be movable further toward upper and lower sides than an upper edge of the recess.

4. The rear structure of the vehicle according to claim 1, wherein

the partition member is configured to be movable to an upper side of the vehicle after moving to a rear side of the vehicle with respect to the recess.

5. The rear structure of the vehicle according to claim 2, wherein

the partition member is configured to be movable further toward upper and lower sides than an upper edge of the recess.

6. The rear structure of the vehicle according to claim 2, wherein

the partition member is configured to be movable to an upper side of the vehicle after moving to a rear side of the vehicle with respect to the recess.

7. The rear structure of the vehicle according to claim 3, wherein

the partition member is configured to be movable to an upper side of the vehicle after moving to a rear side of the vehicle with respect to the recess.

8. The rear structure of the vehicle according to claim 5, wherein

the partition member is configured to be movable to an upper side of the vehicle after moving to a rear side of the vehicle with respect to the recess.
