Description
TRANSPARENT ROOF STRUCTURE IN VEHICLE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a structure of a vehicle, and in particular
to a structure of a vehicle which does not include a front or rear pillar.
2. Description of the Background Art
Generally, a vehicle is formed of a chassis and a body. The chassis is a
general term of the parts except for a body of a vehicle and includes a frame,
engine, driving force transfer apparatus, suspension apparatus, steering apparatus
and brake apparatus. The body is a basic frame of a vehicle. In almost vehicle
types such as a sedan, coupe, etc., a monocoque type body in which a roof frame,
pillar, main frame, etc. are integrally formed, is adapted.
As shown in Figure 10, the roof pillar is supported by three pairs of the
pillars such as a pillar A, pillar B and pillar C. A wind shield is installed between the
pillars A, and a rear window is installed between the pillars C.
Here, since the pillars A and C are formed at the both sides of a driver's
seat and at the both sides of the passenger's seat, as shown in Figure 11 , a blind
area is formed. Therefore, when a driver turns a vehicle in a certain direction or
parks the vehicle, it is impossible to have a wide visual field due to the blind area,
so that a vehicle accident may occur for thereby increasing a vehicle accident ratio.
In addition, recently there is a trend for increasing a sporty appearance of
a vehicle and decreasing an air resistance. A design for decreasing the width and
angle of the pillar A is adapted. In this case, it is impossible to increase a comfort
seating feel in a driver's and passenger's seat. Therefore, when a vehicle collision
accident occurs or a vehicle overturn accident occurs, it is impossible to satisfy a
circular protection system in a driver's and passenger's seat.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, it is a first object of the present invention to provide a
transparent roof structure in a vehicle which overcomes the problems encountered
in the conventional art.
It is a second object of the present invention to provide a transparent roof
structure in a vehicle which is capable of increasing a driving safety by obtaining a
wider visual field in a forward and backward direction of a vehicle.
It is a third object of the present invention to provide a transparent roof
structure in a vehicle which is capable of satisfying a comfort seating feel and
circular protection system in a vehicle by increasing a supporting force of a roof.
It is a fourth object of the present invention to provide a transparent roof
structure in a vehicle which is capable of simplifying a process for fabricating a
body of a vehicle, enhancing a productivity and implementing an easier
maintenance of a roof structure divided into a ring frame.
It is a fifth object of the present invention to provide a transparent roof
structure in a vehicle which has good features in durability, heat-resistance,
insulation and soundproof.
It is a sixth object of the present invention to provide a transparent roof
structure in a vehicle which is capable of implementing a good riding environment
by obtaining a natural inner lighting using a natural light.
In order to achieve the above objects, there is provided a transparent roof
structure in a vehicle which includes a roof glass which includes a reinforced net
layer and a net glass layer which is formed of a first glass layer and a second
glass layer formed in an upper and lower surface of the reinforced net layer,
respectively, a pillar glass which is formed of the net glass layer and is extended
from a front end corner of the roof glass in a slanted downward direction, a wind
shield which is formed of a transparent glass and is extended from a front end of
the roof glass and an inner end of the pillar glass, a supporter which includes a
holder portion having a glass engaging groove to which a lower portion of the wind
shield is engaged, an engaging portion which is extended from the holder portion,
and a plurality of supporter engaging holes formed in a width direction of the
engaging portion, and a ring frame which is installed in each side of the roof glass,
the pillar glass, the wind shield and the rear window, respectively.

supporting a vertical direction weight of the roof glass 100. The pillar glass 200 is
formed of a net glass layer in which a reinforced net layer is formed between the
glass layers like the roof glass 100 and is downwardly extended from each corner
of the roof giass 100. The pillar glass 200 includes a reinforced net layer for
implementing an internal strength and does not interfere with a driver's visual field
based on a structure in which a wire is crossed at a certain interval like the roof
glass 100.
The wind shield 300 is a transparent glass which is installed in a front
surface of a vehicle and is extended from a front end of the roof glass 100 and an
inner end of the pillar glass 200. The wind shield 300 does not include a reinforced
net layer for obtaining a driver's visual field differently from the roof glass 100 and
the pillar glass 200. Namely, the wind shield is formed of only a transparent glass.
The wind shield 300 is preferably formed of a poly glass. The wind glass 300
supports a weight of a front side of the roof glass 100.
The rear window 400 is formed of a transparent glass which is installed in a
rear side of a vehicle and is extended from a rear end of the roof glass and an
inner end of the pillar glass. The rear window 400 does not include a reinforced
net layer for obtaining a driver's visual field in a backward direction differently from
the roof glass 100 and the pillar glass 200. Namely, the rear window 400 is formed
of only a transparent glass. The rear window 400 is preferably formed of a poly
glass. The rear window 400 supports a weight of a rear side of the roof glass 100.
The supporter 500 is formed of an engaging support member of the ring
frame 600 for engaging a transparent roof structure to a body of a vehicle as an
engaging member connected with the ring frame 600. The supporter 500 includes
a holder portion 510 having a glass engaging groove 512 to which the lower
portions of the window shield 300 and the rear window 400 are engaged, an
engaging portion 520 which is extended from the holder portion 510, and a
plurality of supporter engaging holes 530 which are formed in a width direction of
the engaging portion 520. The supporter 500 is engaged to a lower frame 700
formed in a body of a vehicle by an engaging element 550 engaged to the
supporter engaging hole 530 of the engaging portion 520.
The supporter 500 is preferably formed of a metallic material. A packing
540 may be inserted into the glass engaging groove 512 for implementing a
sealed state when engaging with the wind shield 300 or the rear window 400. The
supporter 500 is engaged with the lower frame 700 formed in a body of a vehicle
by engaging element 550 engaged to the supporter engaging hole 530 of the
engaging portion 520. The lower frame 700 includes a lower bent portion 710
which is formed in an upper portion in a step shape, and a plurality of engaging
holes 720 formed in a width direction of the lower bent portion 710. An engaging
member 550 for fixing the supporter 500 to the lower frame 700 may be a screw

Figure 6 is a front perspective view illustrating a vehicle having a
transparent roof structure according to a first embodiment of the present invention,
and Figure 7 is a rear perspective view illustrating a vehicle having a transparent
roof structure according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
As shown therein, in the vehicle having a transparent roof structure
according to a first embodiment of the present invention, the wind shield, rear
window as well as the roof and pillar portions are formed of a transparent member.
Therefore, there is not a blind region which is formed due to a conventional non-
transparent pillar and roof, in forward, backward, lateral and upward directions of
the vehicle for thereby implementing a wider visual field in the present invention.
Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a transparent roof structure
according to an application example of the present invention. As shown therein,
the transparent roof structure according to the present invention includes a first
glass layer 114, a second glass layer 116, and a net glass layer 110 formed of a
reinforced net layer 112 formed between the first glass layer 114 and the second
glass layer 116.
The reinforced net layer 112 performs a structure reinforcing role for
maintaining a basic object of the transparent rood structure according to the
present invention and is formed of a metallic wire or reinforced fiber wire which is
not transformed by an external impact and is capable of receiving an external
impact.
An air layer 120 and a third glass layer 130 are formed on the upper surface
of the first glass layer 114. The air layer 120 enhances a riding comfort feel and
performs a bulletproof layer operation based on a buffering effect when an external
impact is applied thereto.
A photosensitive glass layer 140 may be additionally formed on the upper
surface of the third glass layer 130, and an infrared ray reflection glass layer 150
may be additionally formed on the upper surface of the photosensitive glass layer
140. The photosensitive glass layer 140 is a layer the color of which is changed
based on the intensity of light by coating an oxide on the glass. Namely, when a
ultraviolet ray is inputted, the layer is changed into a violet color and is darkened.
When the ultraviolet ray is not inputted, the color of the layer is changed to the
original transparent state. The infrared ray reflection glass layer 150 enhance a
warming and cooling efficiency based on the interference of the infrared ray by
reflecting light of the sun. The infrared ray reflection glass layer 150 is directed to
using an interfering phenomenon of a thin film attached on the surface of the glass
and the reflection ration characteristic of the metal which forms the thin film. The
infrared ray reflection glass layer 150 may be formed by sputtering a solution
which contains a metallic oxide, titanium, tin, etc. on the surface of the glass.
A liquid crystal glass layer 160 may be additionally formed on the lower
surface of the second glass layer 116. The liquid crystal glass layer 160 becomes
a transparent or non-transparent state based on whether the power is supplied or
not and is formed of a glass layer in which liquid crystal molecular are sealed
therein. The liquid crystal glass layer 160 is formed by attaching a liquid crystal
film to a film having a transparent conductive film and bonding a plate glass to the
outer layer. The liquid crystal film prevents scattering of glass.
Figure 9 is a perspective view illustrating a vehicle having a transparent roof
structure according to a second embodiment of the present invention. As shown
therein, the transparent roof structure according to the present invention may be
adapted to a vehicle as well as a bus.
In the case of the bus, the transparent roof structure is formed of a roof
glass, a wind shield and a front pillar glass without a rear window. In addition, the
roof glass supports a vertical direction weight by the intermediate pillars.
In an application example of the present invention, only the wind shield and
the front pillar may be formed of an integral transparent member. Namely, the
windshield and front pillar are formed of the poly glass, and the lower and upper
portions of the windshield and both lateral ends of the pillar are surrounded by the
ring frame, and the upper and lower supporters of the ring frame are engaged with
the frame, so that the integral transparent member supports the front portions of
the roof and performs the operation of the windshield without a rectangular support.
As described above, in the transparent roof structure of a vehicle according
to the present invention, since it is possible to obtain a wider visual field of a driver
in the forward, backward and upward directions, it is possible to prevent a traffic
accident due to a blind area when driving a vehicle.
In the transparent roof structure according to the present invention, it is
possible to satisfy a good riding comfort feel and a circular protection system by
distributing a deviated weight support structure and reinforcing a supporting force
of a roof.
In the transparent roof structure of the present invention according to the
present invention, a vehicle body fabrication process is simplified, and a
fabrication process is decreased. Therefore, the fabrication cost of the vehicle is
decreased.
In the transparent roof structure of a vehicle according to the present
invention, it is possible to decrease the weight of the vehicle for thereby
decreasing the consumption of energy and enhancing an economic effect.
In the transparent roof structure of a vehicle according to the present
invention, an internal lighting is possible based on a natural light for thereby
implementing a good riding comfort feel.
As the present invention may be embodied in several forms without
departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof, it should also be
understood that the above-described embodiments are not limited by any of the
details of the foregoing description, unless otherwise specified, but rather should
be construed broadly within its spirit and scope as defined in the appended
