Abstract
Each panel forming a variable mechanism is maintained in a state accommodated on an internal wall surface to secure a cabin space of a mobility, and according to the need of a passenger, the rotational position of each panel is changed so that a shape of the variable mechanism is transformed, providing a convenient function. Accordingly, a space utilization apparatus of mobility that can secure a cabin space by removing an unused space of the cabin space when the convenience function is not used in the cabin space of the mobility, and can improve the space utilization by selectively providing the convenience function.
Claims17
A space utilization apparatus for a vehicle, the space utilization apparatus comprising:
- the vehicle including an internal wall surface and a cabin space formed in a direction facing the internal wall surface;
- and
- a variable mechanism provided along the internal wall surface, and including a plurality of panels,
- wherein among the plurality of panels, a panel is slidably connected to the internal wall surface, and remaining panels are rotatably connected to the panel so that a shape of the variable mechanism is transformed according to a rotational position of each remaining panel so as to implement a given function,
- wherein the panel of the variable mechanism includes an upper panel having a first end portion slidably provided on the internal wall surface, and
- wherein the remining panels of the variable mechanism include:
- a middle panel including a first end portion rotatably connected to a second end portion of the upper panel;
- and
- a lower panel including a first end portion rotatably connected to a second end portion of the middle panel and a second end portion rotatably provided on the internal wall surface or a bottom surface of the vehicle,
- wherein the variable mechanism is transformed into a shape for implementing a seat as the upper panel slides downward, and the middle panel and the lower panel rotate from the upper panel toward the cabin space, and
- wherein a flexible cover which is provided to be drawable in or out at the second end portion of the middle panel is connected to the first end portion of the lower panel, so that when the lower panel rotates in the middle panel, the flexible cover is disposed in a separation space between the middle panel and the lower panel.
A space utilization apparatus for a vehicle, the space utilization apparatus comprising:
- the vehicle including an internal wall surface and a cabin space formed in a direction facing the internal wall surface;
- and
- a variable mechanism provided along the internal wall surface, and including a plurality of panels,
- wherein among the plurality of panels, a panel is slidably connected to the internal wall surface, and remaining panels are rotatably connected to the panel so that a shape of the variable mechanism is transformed according to a rotational position of each remaining panel so as to implement a given function,
- wherein the panel of the variable mechanism includes an upper panel having a first end portion slidably provided on the internal wall surface, and
- wherein the remining panels of the variable mechanism include:
- a middle panel including a first end portion rotatably connected to a second end portion of the upper panel;
- and
- a lower panel including a first end portion rotatably connected to a second end portion of the middle panel and a second end portion rotatably provided on the internal wall surface or a bottom surface of the vehicle,
- wherein the variable mechanism is transformed into a shape for implementing a storage as the upper panel slides downward and rotates toward the cabin space, the lower panel rotates toward the cabin space, and the middle panel moves toward the cabin space to form a storage space thereinside, and
- wherein a clamping mechanism for fixing an additional vehicle is provided inside the middle panel.
