ABSTRACT:
A fixing device arrangement for a trunk compartment floor plate includes a fixing device with a support portion for mounting and supporting a floor plate and a restriction wall portion extending upwardly from the support portion. A convex portion is provided, formed on the support portion extending upwardly from the support portion. The floor plate is provided with a bore such that the convex portion may be hooked into the bore for positioning the floor plate. A ledge portion is provided extending outwardly from the restriction wall portion. The ledge portion includes an undersurface which is inclined from an outer edge of the ledge portion downwardly to the restriction wall portion. The bore of the floor plate is formed to be larger than the convex portion to define a gap between the bore and the convex portion when the convex portion is hooked into the bore. An additional gap is provided between a top end edge of the floor plate and the restriction wall portion when the convex portion is hooked into the bore. The ledge portion acts to retain the floor plate in position and allows for a smooth engagement of the floor plate and the convex portion such that the convex portion may be hooked into the bore of the floor plate and to prevent detachment unless a forward end of the floor plate is raised upwardly.
