Abstract

A loading space arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a foldable loading space cover configured to cover a loading space in a covering position of the loading space cover; a guide system configured to guide the loading space cover between the covering position and a folded-together folded position of the loading space cover; and a lock configured to lock the loading space cover at a height which is vertically spaced apart from the guide system. The guide system is further configured to uncouple the loading space cover from the guide system in the folded position. The lock is further configured to pivot the loading space cover from the folded position into a stowed position.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A loading space arrangement for a motor vehicle, comprising:
a foldable loading space cover configured to cover a loading space in a covering position of the loading space cover;
a guide system configured to guide the loading space cover between the covering position and a folded-together folded position of the loading space cover; and
a lock configured to lock the loading space cover at a height which is vertically spaced apart from the guide system;
wherein the guide system is further configured to uncouple the loading space cover from the guide system in the folded position,
wherein the lock is further configured to pivot the loading space cover from the folded position into a stowed position,
wherein the loading space cover has a front cover element and a rear cover element which is connected to the front cover element in an articulated manner about an articulation axis, and
wherein the lock is arranged substantially as an axial extension of the articulation axis in the folded position and in the stowed position.

2. The loading space arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the loading space cover is locked releasably in the folded position and in the stowed position by way of the lock so as to be mounted via a bearing pin which is mounted rotatably.

3. The loading space arrangement as claimed in claim 2 , wherein, in the locked state, the bearing pin is clipped into a clip-type connection.

4. The loading space arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a retainer is provided for fixedly holding a part of the loading space cover, which part is positioned spaced apart from the lock in the stowed position.

5. The loading space arrangement as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the loading space cover has at least one guide element configured to be guided in the guide system, wherein at least one of the guide elements is held fixedly by the retainer in the stowed position.

6. The loading space arrangement as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the lock and the retainer are vertically spaced apart from the guide system.

7. The loading space arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a roof liner formed by a motor vehicle body is provided for the upper delimitation of a vehicle interior, wherein the loading space cover is arranged adjacent to the roof liner in the stowed position.

8. The loading space arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lock is positioned substantially in a region of a C pillar.

9. The loading space arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the guide system has an uncoupling opening which is configured to be closed off again and which serves for the uncoupling of at least one guide element of the loading space cover, which guide element is able to be guided in the guide system, wherein the guide element is configured to be moved through the uncoupling opening when the loading space cover is pivoted from the folded position into the stowed position.

10. The loading space arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the loading space cover forms a rear parcel shelf in the covering position, wherein cover elements of the loading space cover which are connected to one another in an articulated manner are, as substantially rigid planar structures, configured to dissipate to the guide system objects set down on the loading space cover.

11. The loading space arrangement as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the foldable loading space cover is configured to form a horizontal parcel shelf in the covering position,
wherein the foldable loading space cover is configured to form a compartment divider for preventing loads from entering a passenger compartment in the folded position, and

wherein the foldable loading space cover is configured to provide a load bearing surface interposed between a roof liner and a loading space in the stowed position.

12. The loading space arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, the foldable loading space cover is entirely spaced apart from the guide system in the stowed position.
