[0001] The present invention relates to a mounting assembly for a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to a mounting assembly for mounting one or more loads on a vehicle. 5
BACKGROUND
[0002] In general, a vehicle comprising a plurality of vehicle components. However, disposition of plurality of vehicle components has certain constraints due to space constraint and balancing of the weight and centre of gravity of the vehicle 10 due to disposition of plurality of vehicle components.
[0003] In general, a vehicle comprising a plurality of vehicle components. However, disposition of plurality of vehicle components has certain constraints due to space constraint and balancing of the weight and centre of gravity of the vehicle due to disposition of plurality of vehicle components. 15
[0004] A vehicle has limited space and due to such limited space, certain constraints arise regarding the storage capacity of a vehicle to store various loads like luggage of a user, tool kits, spare components such as spare wheel, and other components of a vehicle. In conventional compact vehicles, the boot space/ storage is comparatively lower and needs to be managed efficiently for maximum 20 utilisation of the storage space. Further, in relatively compact vehicles such as but not limited to three-wheeled vehicles, and transport vehicles, the storage capacity is one of the most important factors for a user of the vehicle. Further, three-wheeled and transport vehicles additionally require good packaging efficiency for disposition of prime mover, steering assembly, transmission assembly, etc. in the 25 vehicle. Hence, the storage capacity and configuration of the vehicle is a very important factor for deciding the sales of the vehicle.
[0005] In some other conventional vehicles, the space below the passenger seat is used for the disposition of spare wheel, toolbox, etc., due to which the seating of the passenger becomes uncomfortable and is hence again undesirable. Additionally, 30 the disposition of the spare wheel and other loads on the vehicle body results in improper weight distribution since the weight of the loads is transferred on the vehicle body and not on the frame directly. Another attempt for a solution was to
3
attach the components to the back panel of the vehicle, or the boot lid of the vehicle which makes the components prone to theft. [0006] Some of the conventional vehicle often struggle to accommodate varying load sizes and shapes while maintaining passenger comfort and safety. Further, some of the existing vehicles with fixed cargo spaces or limited load-carrying 5 capabilities fail to meet the evolving needs of consumers and businesses alike, hindering their ability to transport goods securely and conveniently.
[0007] Additionally, in vehicles employed in public transportation in the passenger segment, the visibility and occupation of storage space by components such as spare wheel, tool box, etc creates a discomfort and uneasiness from the passenger’s 10 perspective.
[0008] Thus, conventional methods known in the art for storing one or more loads of the vehicle have associated limitations of encroaching space of the passenger compartment, being prone to theft, increased consumption of storage space, improper load distribution and management, and prone to wear and tear due to 15 random disposition in storage spaces.
[0009] Therefore, there is a need for a mounting assembly for mounting one or more loads of the components that can overcome all of the above-mentioned problems and other problems which are known in the art and which provides a secure method for mounting one or more loads which does not interfere with the 20 storage space of the vehicle for the efficient utility of storage space, and which is also permits ease of mounting and dismounting to the user.
