JP2001244048A - Thawing heater for car wind shield - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a simple device to melt ice sticking to a car wind shield. SOLUTION: Heaters 5 and 6 attached on a support 3 made of an insulator. A reflector plate 4 is placed inside the support 3. A power cable and a plug 1 to receive electricity are built through the support 3 made of an insulator and the heater is energized by connecting to the power source of a cigarette lighter.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for melting ice by contacting or approaching ice adhered to an outer surface of a window glass with an inner surface of the window glass by heat generated by a heater when electricity is supplied.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when the glass of an automobile freezes in winter or the like, the ice has been melted by applying hot water to the glass or using a deicing agent from the outer surface of the window glass. After the engine warms up and the water temperature rises, the ice on the window glass is melted from inside the car with a defroster and the time is 5 minutes.
It took a minute to 10 minutes.

[0003]

As described in the related art, it takes time and effort to melt ice adhered to a window glass of an automobile.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to contact or approach heat generated by the present apparatus to an inner surface of a window glass to melt ice attached to the outer surface of the window glass. It is assumed that.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, a deicing heater for an automobile window glass according to the present invention is large enough to be held by one hand, and is provided with a heater support made of an insulating material; Having a reflector on the inner surface of the heater support formed by the heater, provided inside the reflector, and adapted to generate heat using a cigarette lighter power supply of an automobile as a power source, and the heater support It is provided with an integrally formed window glass contact portion and connection means for connecting the heater to the cigar lighter power supply.

(Embodiment 1) An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings based on an embodiment. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a power receiving plug which can be connected to a power source for a cigarette lighter of an automobile. 2 is a power cable. Three
Is a heater supporting portion, which is formed, for example, in a bowl shape from a heat-resistant synthetic resin material. Reference numeral 4 denotes a reflection plate which is, for example, a glossy metal plate or a synthetic resin material plated with metal. The shape is configured to be installed in the support portion 3. Reference numeral 5 denotes a heater using a nichrome wire or the like, which is connected to the power cable 2 and held on the front surface of the reflection plate 4. In addition, 3
Reference numeral a denotes a window glass contact portion, which is formed so as to contact the inner surface of the window glass of the automobile and not to damage the window glass. Therefore, when the heater supporting portion 3 is formed of a hard material, a window glass contact portion formed of a soft material at the edge thereof is provided.

[0007] When using the above-mentioned deicing heater for automobile window glass, the ice melts when the connecting means is plugged into a power source and the heater is heated and approaches or comes into contact with the window glass.

(Embodiment 2) In Embodiment 1 described above,
Although a heater using a nichrome wire is shown as the heater 5, an electric bulb 6 may be used as the heater as shown in FIG. In this case, the light bulb 6 is suitably, for example, a halogen light bulb. The usage is the same as in the first embodiment, but the light bulb 6 is easy to use because it can be easily miniaturized and generates heat quickly.

[0009]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the ice attached to the window glass of the vehicle can be melted easily and in a short time by using the deicing heater for the window glass of the vehicle. I can do it.
