Abstract

An interior module for a cargo space of a vehicle having a guide rail in which a guide member of an adjustable cargo space cover can be guided between a first and a second wall, wherein the first wall is formed at least in sections by a section element, and wherein the guide rail has at least a first locking section for locking the guide member in a first locking position. Furthermore, a cargo space cladding for a cargo space of a vehicle and a manufacturing method for manufacturing an interior module is provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An interior module for a cargo space of a vehicle, the interior module comprising:
a guide rail having a first wall and a second wall, wherein a guide member of an adjustable cargo space cover is adapted to be guided between the first wall and the second wall,
wherein the first wall is formed, at least in sections, by a section element,
wherein the guide rail has at least one first locking section for locking the guide member in a first locking position,
wherein, at least in the first locking section, the second wall is at least partially formed by an insert element that is separate from the section element,
wherein the guide rail has a cargo space side that is aliened with the cargo space of the vehicle, and has a body side that is aligned with a body of the vehicle, and wherein the insert element is mounted from the body side.

2. The interior module according to claim 1 , wherein the insert element is fastened on the section element.

3. The interior module according to claim 1 , wherein the first locking section has a locking projection, which is negotiated by the guide member, wherein the insert element has a hold down device via which the guide member is locked on the locking projection in the first locking position.

4. An interior module for a cargo space of a vehicle, the interior module comprising:
a guide rail having a first wall and a second wall, wherein a guide member of an adjustable cargo space cover is adapted to be guided between the first wall and the second wall,
wherein the first wall is formed, at least in sections, by a section element,
wherein the guide rail has at least one first locking section for locking the guide member in a first locking position,
wherein, at least in the first locking section, the second wall is at least partially formed by an insert element that is separate from the section element,
wherein the first locking section has a locking projection, which is negotiated by the guide member, wherein the insert element has a hold down device via which the guide member is locked on the locking projection in the first locking position, and
wherein the hold down device is an elastically deformable part of the second wall so that a force is applied to the guide member in the first locking position by the hold down device.

5. The interior module according to claim 1 , wherein the section element is formed integrally with a cladding element for the cargo space.

6. The interior module according to claim 1 , wherein the guide rail has a second and a third locking section, and wherein the first locking section is arranged between the second and the third locking sections.

7. The interior module according to claim 1 , wherein the insert element additionally forms at least a portion of the first wall in the first locking section.

8. A cargo space cladding for a cargo space of a vehicle, the cargo space cladding comprising:
an adjustable cargo space cover; and
at least one interior module that includes a guide rail having a first wall and a second wall, wherein a guide member of the cargo space cover is guided between the first wall and the second wall,
wherein the first wall is formed at least in sections by a section element,
wherein the guide rail has at least one first locking section for locking the guide member in a first locking position,
wherein, at least in the first locking section, the second wall is formed at least partially by an insert element that is separate from the section element,
wherein the guide rail has a cargo space side that is aligned with the cargo space of the vehicle, and has a body side that is aligned with a body of the vehicle, and wherein the insert element is mounted from the body side.

9. A manufacturing method for manufacturing an interior module for a cargo space of a vehicle, the method comprising:
molding a section element of a first wall of a guide rail in which a guide member is adapted to be guided between the first wall and a second wall;
providing an insert element, via which the second wall is at least partially formed, in a first locking section of the guide rail for locking the guide member in a first locking position;
mounting the insert element with the section element,
wherein the guide rail has a cargo space side that is to be aligned with the cargo space of the vehicle, and has a body side that is to be aligned with a body of the vehicle, and wherein the insert element is mounted from the body side.

10. The interior module according to claim 6 , wherein the second wall between the second locking section and the third locking section is formed by the insert element.
