Patent number: 9963024Abstract: A deck cover is openably provided at a vehicle-body rear portion positioned in back of a cabin. A top portion of a rear wheelhouse is provided at the vehicle-body rear portion. This top portion is configured to be displaced upward, relative to a vehicle-body rear end portion, such as a rear bumper or a rear end panel, by vehicle-body deformation caused by a vehicle rear collision. The deck cover is supported at a position of the vehicle-body rear portion which is located vertically above or in front of the top portion of the rear wheelhouse such that the deck cover is elevated in accordance with upward displacement of the top portion when the vehicle-body rear portion receives a rear-collision load.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2017Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: MAZDA MOTOR CORPORATIONInventors: Taichi Hirakawa, Kazutaka Ishikura, Masaki Oda, Takashi Niseki
