Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-39734 (page 1-2, Fig. 1-2)

  However, since the roof spoiler of Patent Document 1 has a structure in which a unit having a wiper mechanism built in the roof spoiler is attached to the vehicle body in advance, it is not easy to attach or detach the wiper mechanism for maintenance or replacement after the vehicle is mounted. There was an inconvenience.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to make it easy to attach and detach the wiper mechanism in a vehicle-mounted state in the rear spoiler device in which the wiper mechanism is incorporated. An object of the present invention is to provide an improved rear spoiler device and a manufacturing method thereof. Another object of the present invention is to reduce the number of assembling steps of the rear spoiler device, facilitate the assembling work, and improve the dustproof and waterproof properties of the rear spoiler device.

  According to the present invention, there is provided a rear spoiler device including a spoiler body that has a storage space therein and is fixed so as to protrude from a vehicle body surface, and a wiper mechanism disposed in the storage space. The wiper mechanism includes a base member, a wiper motor device fixed to the base member, and a wiper arm driven by the wiper motor device. The outer surface of the spoiler body is fixed to the vehicle body surface. In addition, an opening communicating with the storage space is formed, and an attachment for attaching the base member is formed in the storage space. The opening is at least provided from the outside of the wiper mechanism. A part of the mounting portion is formed so as to be insertable into the storage space, and the attachment portion is inserted into the storage space of the spoiler body fixed to the vehicle body surface. In a state of being, it is solved by detachably forming the base member.

As described above, the rear spoiler device of the present invention is a rear spoiler device provided with a wiper mechanism inside the spoiler body, and the internal wiper mechanism is unitized by a wiper motor device and the like disposed integrally with a base member.

Thereby, the working time can be greatly shortened.

Further, the base member has a partition wall that partitions the inside and the outside of the storage space, the wiper motor device is disposed on the inner side of the storage space with respect to the partition wall, and the wiper arm is It is preferable that the partition wall is disposed outside the storage space.
If comprised in this way, since the inside of a spoiler main body is shielded from the exterior by a partition wall, it can prevent that rain, dust, etc. penetrate | invade into an inside. Further, since the inside of the spoiler body and the wiper motor device cannot be visually recognized by the partition wall, the overall appearance can be improved.

Further, it is preferable that the partition wall has a closed wall whose outer shape is substantially the same shape as the opening, and the opening is closed by the closed wall.
With this configuration, the opening is shielded by the blocking wall, so that the spoiler body and the wiper mechanism can be integrated to improve the appearance design, and rain and dust can enter the spoiler body. Can be prevented.

The partition wall has a recessed wall that bulges toward the storage space from an opening edge formed in the closed wall, and the wiper arm is held in a wiper arm stop holding space surrounded by the recessed wall. Can be configured.
Thus, by holding the wiper arm in the wiper arm stop holding space surrounded by the recessed wall that bulges into the storage space rather than the closed wall, it is difficult to visually recognize the wiper arm from the outside when the wiper operation is stopped, and the appearance design is improved. Can be improved.

  In the present invention, the partition wall has a closed wall whose outer shape is larger than the opening, and a stepped shape portion is formed on an edge of the opening in accordance with the outer peripheral shape of the closed wall. The opening portion is closed by attaching the outer peripheral end portion of the blocking wall to the stepped shape portion, and the stepped shape portion has an outer peripheral end portion of the closing wall on the outer surface side of the edge portion of the opening portion. It is preferable that the shape is recessed by approximately the same dimension as the thickness of the wall, and the blocking wall is formed so as to be flush with the outer surface of the spoiler body.

  If the stepped shape portion is formed at the end of the opening as described above, the positioning of the blocking wall is facilitated by aligning the stepped shape portion with the outer peripheral end of the blocking wall during assembly. Can be done. In addition, since the outer peripheral end of the blocking wall can be overlapped with the stepped shape portion from the outside, no gap is formed between the opening and the blocking wall, resulting in a dustproof and waterproof structure. Moreover, since the blocking wall can be attached so as to be flush with the outer surface of the spoiler body, the appearance design is improved.

  In the present invention, the partition wall has a closed wall whose outer shape is larger than the opening, and a stepped shape portion is formed on an edge of the opening in accordance with the outer peripheral shape of the closed wall. The opening portion is closed by attaching the outer peripheral end portion of the blocking wall to the stepped shape portion, and the stepped shape portion has an outer peripheral end portion of the closing wall on the outer surface side of the edge portion of the opening portion. In addition, the elastic member is disposed in the gap between the stepped shape portion and the closing portion so that the closing wall can be attached flush with the outer surface of the spoiler body. Preferably it is formed.

  If the stepped shape portion is formed at the end of the opening as described above, the positioning of the blocking wall is facilitated by aligning the stepped shape portion with the outer peripheral end of the blocking wall during assembly. Can be done. In addition, the outer peripheral end of the blocking wall is overlapped with the stepped shape portion from the outside, and by arranging an elastic member in the gap, the gap between the opening and the blocking wall can be reliably closed, and more The structure is dustproof and waterproof. Moreover, since the blocking wall can be attached so as to be flush with the outer surface of the spoiler body, the appearance design is improved. Furthermore, even if the spoiler body or the base member vibrates during traveling of the vehicle, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of noise due to rattling or collision of the member due to elastic deformation of the elastic member.

In the present invention, an engaging portion is formed on one end side of the base member, and an engaged portion capable of supporting the one end side by engaging the engaging portion is formed on the spoiler body. The attachment portion is preferably formed to be attachable to the other end side of the base member in a state where the engagement portion is engaged with the engaged portion.
With such a configuration, one end side of the base member can be engaged with and supported by the engaged portion of the spoiler body. And if the one end side (engagement part) of a base member will be in the state stably supported by engagement, a base member will be a spoiler main body only by fixing at least one place to a mounting part with fastening members, such as a screw | thread. Can be fixed to. Therefore, since the number of screw fixation is reduced, the number of screw fastening steps is reduced. Therefore, the assembly work time can be shortened.

In the present invention, the base member is formed with a locking portion capable of locking the edge of the opening at a predetermined position between the portion to be attached to the mounting portion and the engaging portion. A configuration is preferable.
As described above, the edge of the opening and the base member are brought into contact with each other at a predetermined position between the attachment portion and the engagement portion, and the edge is locked in the contact state. In this case, the base member is not bent at the intermediate position between the attachment portion and the engagement portion, and is not separated from the spoiler body. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a gap from being generated between the base member and the spoiler body.

In the present invention, the wiper mechanism includes a wiper blade connected to a free end of the wiper arm, the engaging portion is formed at an end portion of the base member on the wiper blade side, and the attachment portion is It is preferable that the base member is configured to be attached to an end portion on the wiper motor device side.
Thus, when both ends of the base member are fixed to the spoiler body, one end on the side near the center of gravity of the wiper mechanism (wiper motor device side) is fixed to the mounting portion and engaged with the other end (wiper blade side). If the part is formed and fixed to the engaged part of the spoiler body, this wiper mechanism has a state in which one end closer to the center of gravity is securely fixed to the mounting part by a screw or the like and is securely held. Become. Thereby, the load applied to the engaging part side by vibration or impact can be reduced.

  In the present invention, the engaged portion is formed to have a convex curved surface provided on the inner wall side of the edge of the opening, and the engaging portion is a concave that can be externally fitted to the convex curved surface. A curved surface, the concave curved surface is formed on a side surface of a protrusion formed to protrude from one end side of the base member, and the base member has the other end by sliding the protrusion along the convex curved surface. The concave curved surface is externally fitted to the convex curved surface, the projection is engaged and fixed to the engaging portion, and the other end side is the mounting portion. It is preferable to be constructed so as to be attached in a state of being abutted and fixed to.

In this way, when the engaging portion and the engaged portion are engaged by fitting the convex curved surface and the concave curved surface, the contact between the engaging portion and the engaged portion is caused by the contact between the curved surfaces. The area can be increased. Therefore, the load can be dispersed, and the engagement portion can be prevented from being damaged during the load. In addition, when the concave curved surface is formed on the protruding portion on one end side of the base member and the engaging portion whose corner is a convex curved surface is formed inside the edge of the opening of the spoiler body, the protruding portion is formed. The concave curved surface can be easily engaged by being inserted into the opening and hooked on the convex curved surface inside the edge. Therefore, assembly work is facilitated.
In addition, by sliding the protruding portion of the base member along the convex curved surface of the spoiler body, the contact state between the one end side (protrusion) of the base member and the convex curved surface is maintained, so that the load on the base member is stable. The other end side can be smoothly rotated while being supported on. Therefore, the attachment worker can assemble the base member only by intensively supporting the end portion on the side (the other end side) that contacts the attachment portion. Therefore, a jig for supporting the base member becomes unnecessary, and even one person can easily attach the base member to the spoiler body.

  In addition, according to the present invention, there is provided a rear spoiler comprising a spoiler body that has a storage space therein and is fixed so as to protrude from a vehicle body surface, and a wiper mechanism disposed in the storage space. A method of manufacturing an apparatus, wherein a wiper motor device is assembled to a base member, and a wiper mechanism manufacturing process for manufacturing a wiper mechanism by assembling a driven wiper arm to the wiper motor device, and in a state of being fixed to a vehicle body surface A wiper mechanism assembling step of inserting the wiper mechanism into the storage space from an opening of the spoiler body communicating with the storage space, and removably mounting the base portion on the attachment portion of the spoiler body.

In the state, the wiper mechanism is inserted from the opening formed so as to communicate the storage space inside the spoiler body and the outside, and the wiper mechanism is detachably fixed to the attachment part of the spoiler body. As a result, the wiper mechanism can be fixed to the spoiler body by retrofitting, and only the wiper mechanism can be removed without removing the spoiler body during maintenance or the like. Thereby, the working time can be greatly shortened.

In the wiper mechanism manufacturing process, a partition wall that partitions the inside and the outside of the storage space is formed on the base member, and the wiper motor device is disposed on the inside of the storage space with respect to the partition wall. It is preferable that the wiper arm is disposed outside the storage space with respect to the partition wall.
Thereby, the inside of a spoiler main body can be shielded from the exterior by a partition wall, and it can prevent that rain, dust, etc. penetrate | invade inside. Further, since the inside of the spoiler body and the wiper motor device can be made invisible from the outside by the partition wall, the overall appearance can be improved.

In the wiper mechanism manufacturing process, it is preferable that a closed wall whose outer shape is substantially the same as the opening is formed on the partition wall, and the opening is closed by the closed wall.
As a result, the opening can be shielded by a blocking wall, and the spoiler body and the wiper mechanism can be integrated to improve the appearance design, and also prevent rain and dust from entering the spoiler body. Can do.

In the wiper mechanism manufacturing process, a recessed wall that bulges toward the storage space from an opening edge formed in the closed wall is formed, and the wiper arm is held in a wiper arm stop holding space surrounded by the recessed wall. Is preferred.
As a result, the wiper arm is held in the wiper arm stop holding space surrounded by the recessed wall that bulges into the storage space rather than the closed wall, making it difficult to visually recognize the wiper arm from the outside when the wiper operation is stopped, and improving the appearance design. Can be made.

In the present invention, in the wiper mechanism manufacturing step, a blocking wall having an outer shape larger than the opening is formed on the partition wall, and in the wiper mechanism assembling step, an edge of the opening is formed on the blocking wall. By overlapping the outer peripheral end portion of the blocking wall on the stepped shape portion formed in a shape that is recessed by substantially the same size as the thickness of the outer peripheral end portion of the blocking wall in accordance with the outer peripheral shape, the blocking wall is attached to the spoiler. It is preferable to attach it flush with the outer surface of the main body.
Thereby, at the time of an assembly | attachment, positioning of a blocking wall can be performed easily by aligning a step shape part and the outer peripheral edge part of a blocking wall. In addition, since the outer peripheral end of the blocking wall can be overlapped with the stepped shape portion from the outside, no gap is formed between the opening and the blocking wall, resulting in a dustproof and waterproof structure. Moreover, since the blocking wall can be attached so as to be flush with the outer surface of the spoiler body, the appearance design is improved.

In the present invention, in the wiper mechanism manufacturing step, a blocking wall having an outer shape larger than the opening is formed on the partition wall, and in the wiper mechanism assembling step, an edge of the opening is formed on the blocking wall. The outer peripheral end portion of the blocking wall is overlapped with the stepped shape portion formed in a shape that is recessed deeper than the thickness of the outer peripheral end portion of the blocking wall according to the outer peripheral shape, and an elastic member is disposed in the gap. Thus, it is preferable that the blocking wall is attached flush with the outer surface of the spoiler body.
Thereby, at the time of an assembly | attachment, positioning of a blocking wall can be performed easily by aligning a step shape part and the outer peripheral edge part of a blocking wall. In addition, the outer peripheral end of the blocking wall is overlapped with the stepped shape portion from the outside, and by arranging an elastic member in the gap, the gap between the opening and the blocking wall can be reliably closed, and more The structure is dustproof and waterproof. Moreover, since the blocking wall can be attached so as to be flush with the outer surface of the spoiler body, the appearance design is improved. Furthermore, even if the spoiler body or the base member vibrates during traveling of the vehicle, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of noise due to rattling or collision of the member due to elastic deformation of the elastic member.

In the wiper mechanism assembling step, the engagement portion formed on one end side of the base member is brought into contact with the engaged portion formed in the spoiler body, and the engagement is maintained while maintaining the contact state. By sliding the portion along the surface of the engaged portion, the other end side of the base member abuts on the mounting portion, and the engagement between the engaging portion and the engaged portion is completed. It is suitable to be assembled in the state.
By such an assembling process, the other end side is smoothly rotated while maintaining the contact state between the one end side (projection) of the base member and the convex curved surface and stably supporting the load of the base member. be able to. Thus, the engaging portion and the engaged portion can be completed and engaged and fixed, and the other end can be brought into contact with the mounting portion and can be fixed with screws. Therefore, the installation worker can assemble the base member only by intensively supporting the end portion on the side (the other end side) that contacts the mounting portion. Therefore, a jig for supporting the base member becomes unnecessary, and even one person can easily attach the base member to the spoiler body.

Further, in the wiper mechanism assembling step, the wiper mechanism is formed at a predetermined position between the portion fixed to the mounting portion of the base member and the engaging portion in a state where the other end is in contact with the mounting portion. It is preferable that the edge of the opening is locked by the locking portion.
As a result, the base member is locked so that the base member and the edge of the opening abut not only at the two locations of the attachment portion and the engagement portion as described above, but also at a predetermined position between them. It won't bend away from the spoiler body. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a gap between the base member and the spoiler body.

The present invention has the following effects.
(1) Since the wiper mechanism can be fixed to the attachment part of the spoiler body by inserting the wiper mechanism from the opening formed in the spoiler body, the wiper mechanism can be detached after the spoiler body is fixed to the vehicle. It becomes. Accordingly, the wiper mechanism can be removed without removing the spoiler body, and the inside of the spoiler body and the internal structure of the wiper mechanism can be accessed.
(2) When the wiper mechanism is fixed to the spoiler body, since the opening of the spoiler body is shielded by the blocking wall of the wiper mechanism, the appearance design can be improved.
(3) Since one end of the base member is engaged with the spoiler body by engagement and the other end is brought into contact with the attachment portion and fixed, the number of screws fixed can be reduced. In addition, with one end of the base member in contact with and supported by the spoiler body, the other end can be rotated and brought into contact with the mounting portion, so that even one person can fix the screw while stably supporting the base member. Can be assembled in any state. Therefore, the number of assembling steps can be reduced, and the assembling work can be facilitated.

(4) By forming the stepped shape portion at the edge of the opening, positioning of the blocking wall during assembly is facilitated. Moreover, since the blocking wall can be attached so as to be flush with the outer surface of the spoiler body, the appearance design is improved. In addition, since the outer peripheral end of the blocking wall is attached to the stepped shape portion, no gap is formed between the members, resulting in a dustproof and waterproof structure. In addition, by disposing an elastic member in the gap between the stepped shape portion and the blocking wall, dust resistance and waterproofing are further improved, and rattling of the member during vibration such as when the vehicle is running is prevented. The generation of noise due to a collision can be suppressed.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that members, arrangements, and the like described below do not limit the present invention, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made in accordance with the spirit of the present invention.
1 to 7 show an embodiment of a rear spoiler device of the present invention, FIG. 1 is a rear perspective view of the rear spoiler device, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the rear spoiler device, and FIG. 3 is a front view of a wiper mechanism. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the wiper mechanism, FIG. 5 is a front perspective view of the base member, FIG. 6 is a rear perspective view of the base member, and FIG. 7 is an explanatory view of the assembled state of the wiper mechanism. Moreover, FIGS. 8-19 is a figure which shows the rear spoiler apparatus of a modification.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment in which a rear spoiler device A (hereinafter referred to as “device A”) is disposed at the upper end of the back door 2 of the vehicle 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle 1 includes a back door 2 in which a rear window glass 4 (hereinafter referred to as “glass 4”) is attached to a door body 3. The apparatus A of this example is disposed near the upper end of the glass 4. In this example, the device A is disposed at the upper end of the back door 2, but may be configured at the rear end of the roof 5.

The apparatus A of this example mainly includes a spoiler body 10 that is fixed so as to protrude from the body surface of the vehicle 1, and a wiper mechanism 20 that is disposed in a storage space 10a (see FIG. 2) inside the spoiler body 10. As a component.
The device A of this example functions as a rear spoiler by rectifying the airflow near the rear end of the vehicle while traveling by the spoiler body 10. Further, the device A functions as a rear wiper device that wipes the surface of the glass 4 by reciprocating the wiper arm 33 and the wiper blade 34 of the wiper mechanism 20.

In this example, the wiper mechanism 20 is incorporated in the storage space 10a of the spoiler body 10, and when the wiper operation is stopped, the wiper arm 33 and the wiper blade 34 are wiper arm stop holding spaces 24a (recessed spaces of the wiper mechanism 20). (See FIG. 5). Since the wiper arm stop holding space 24a enters the storage space 10a, it is difficult to visually recognize the wiper arm 33 and the wiper blade 34 from the outside when the wiper operation is stopped.
As described above, in this example, the wiper mechanism 20 is integrally incorporated in the spoiler body 10 and the wiper arm 33 and the wiper blade 34 are difficult to be visually recognized from the outside, so that the appearance design is improved.
Furthermore, by making the base member 21 of the wiper mechanism 20, the wiper arm 33, and the wiper blade 34 the same color, the wiper arm 33 and the like may not be conspicuous when the wiper operation is stopped.

As shown in FIG. 2, the spoiler body 10 of this example is a hollow structure, is continuous from the roof 5 when mounted on the vehicle, and faces the upper and left and right sides of the vehicle, and the rear end of the rectifying unit 11. The rear portion 13 extending from the portion (tip portion) to the glass 4 and the fixing portion 15 that is continuous with the rectifying portion 11 and the rear portion 13 and contacts the vehicle body surface are basically configured.
A storage space 10 a surrounded by the rectifying unit 11, the back surface unit 13, and the fixing unit 15 is formed inside the spoiler body 10.

The back surface portion 13 is provided with a high mount stop lamp 40 in the vicinity of the front end of the central portion, and a substantially rectangular opening 14 is formed below the central portion. Further, the fixing portion 15 has a substantially rectangular cutout portion 16 formed at a portion continuous with the opening portion 14.
The opening 14 is formed at a position facing the glass 4 when the spoiler body 10 is fixed to the vehicle 1, and the outer side (glass 4 side) and the inner side (storage space 10 a) with the back surface part 13 sandwiched through the opening 14. Side).

  A plurality of (five in this example) boss-like attachment portions 10b are formed in the storage space 10a so as to protrude from the inner side surface of the rectifying portion 11 toward the opening portion 14 side. As will be described later, the mounting portion 10b is for fixing the wiper mechanism 20 with a screw 10c, and a screw groove is formed on the inner surface along the length direction.

FIG. 3 is a front view of the wiper mechanism 20, and FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the wiper mechanism 20 of this example includes a base member 21, a wiper motor device 30 fixed to the base member 21, a wiper arm 33 driven by the wiper motor device 30, and the wiper arm 33. A wiper blade 34 attached to the tip is a main component.
In this example, the washer nozzle 35 is attached to the base member 21, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the washer nozzle 35 may be attached to the spoiler body 10.

  The wiper motor device 30 includes an electric motor 31 and a speed reduction mechanism 32. An output shaft 32a is disposed in the speed reduction mechanism portion 32 so as to extend downward, and a base end portion of the wiper arm 33 is fixed to the output shaft 32a. The speed reduction mechanism unit 32 is configured to decelerate the rotation of the electric motor 31 and to swing the wiper arm 33 by converting it into a reciprocating motion for each predetermined rotation angle.

The wiper arm 33 has a biasing member 33a, and the biasing member 33a biases the wiper blade 34 toward the glass 4 side.
The wiper motor device 30 operates by operating a wiper operation switch (not shown). When the wiper motor device 30 is operated, the wiper arm 33 and the wiper blade 34 swing around the output shaft 32a to wipe the surface of the glass 4.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the base member 21 of this example as viewed from the vehicle rear side (glass 4 side), and FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the base member 21 as viewed from the vehicle front side (storage space 10a side).
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the base member 21 of the present example has a closed portion (closed wall) 22 whose outer shape is substantially the same as the opening portion 14, and an opening 23 formed in the closed portion 22. It has a concave portion (concave wall) 24 formed so as to bulge out.

When the base member 21 is assembled to the spoiler body 10, the closing portion 22 is substantially flush with the back surface portion 13, and the recess 24 is located in the storage space 10a. In addition, since the outer shape of the closing portion 22 is substantially the same as that of the opening portion 14, there is almost no gap between the closing portion 22 and the back surface portion 13.
And in this state, the whole recessed part 24 is accommodated in the storage space 10a. Moreover, the closing part 22 and the recessed part 24 partition the inside and the outside of the storage space 10a. This prevents rainwater, dust, and the like from entering the storage space 10a from the outside, thereby ensuring waterproofness and dustproofness. Moreover, since the inside of the wiper motor device 30 and the spoiler body 10 cannot be visually recognized from the outside, the appearance design is improved. In this example, the closing part 22 and the recessed part 24 correspond to a partition wall.
In this example, the entire recess 24 is accommodated in the storage space 10a, whereby the entire wiper mechanism 20 is disposed in the storage space 10a. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and at least a part of the wiper mechanism 20 is stored. You may comprise so that it may arrange | position in the space 10a.

The recess 24 includes an upper extension 25, a lower extension 26, a left extension 27, and a left extension 27 extending forward from the upper edge, lower edge, left edge, and right edge of the opening 23, respectively. It has a right extending portion 28 and a bottom surface portion 29 that connects them in front of the vehicle. The lower extension 26 extends not only from the lower edge of the opening 23 but also from the entire lower edge of the closing part 22. That is, the opening part 23 is not formed in the right side part of the blocking part 22, but the lower extension part 26 is extended and formed also from the lower edge part of this part (refer FIG. 6).
In this example, the lower extension 26 is extended from the lower edge of the opening 23, but the recess 24 may be formed without providing this.

A wiper (wiper arm 33, wiper blade 34) is held in the recess 24 when the wiper operation is stopped. That is, the space surrounded by the recess 24 functions as a wiper arm stop holding space 24a.
A notch 26 a is formed in the left-right direction at the opening side end of the lower extension 26. In this example, the notch 26a is the wiper stop position, and when the wiper operation is stopped, the wiper blade 34 is held by the notch 26a. Therefore, when the wiper stops, the blade rubber does not run from the glass 4 to the lower extending portion 26, so that it is possible to prevent the generation of noise during the stop.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the upper extension portion 25 is one step lower than the upper extension portion 25 at the right end (left side as viewed from the storage space 10 a side) as viewed from the outside of the vehicle, and the lower extension portion 26. The step part 25a located in the middle is formed. An insertion hole 25b penetrating downward is formed in the step portion 25a.
The bottom surface portion 29 is formed with a mounting hole 29a that allows the wiper arm stop holding space 24a and the storage space 10a to communicate with each other. A washer nozzle 35 is inserted and attached to the attachment hole 29a from the outside. The end portion of the hose led from a washer pump (not shown) is connected to the washer nozzle 35 on the storage space 10a side.

  The lower extension 26 is formed with three fixing portions 26b for fixing the wiper motor device 30 on the upper surface of the right portion (vehicle outer side) of the right extension 28. In this example, the fixing portion 26b is a boss-like member planted in the lower extension portion 26, and the wiper motor device 30 is disposed on the three fixing portions 26b, and the attachment provided on the lower surface side of the wiper motor device 30. The wiper motor device 30 can be screwed with a portion (not shown) and the fixing portion 26b.

When the wiper motor device 30 is fixed to the fixing portion 26b, the output shaft 32a is inserted into the insertion hole 25b formed in the step portion 25a, and the lower end portion of the output shaft 32a protrudes into the recess 24.
Therefore, to assemble the wiper mechanism 20, first, the wiper motor device 30 is screwed to the fixing portion 26 b of the base member 21. Then, after attaching the wiper blade 34 to the distal end portion of the wiper arm 33, the base end portion of the wiper arm 33 is fixed to the output shaft 32 a protruding into the recess 24. As a result, the unitized wiper mechanism 20 is assembled.

  Thus, in the wiper mechanism 20 of this example, the wiper motor device 30 is disposed on the storage space 10a side with the closing portion 22 and the recess 24 interposed therebetween, and the wiper arm 33 and the wiper blade 34 are disposed on the glass 4 side. It has become.

  Further, five fixing portions 21 a for attaching to the spoiler body 10 are formed in the vicinity of the left and right end portions and the central portion of the base member 21. Specifically, in this example, two fixing portions 21 a are formed at the right end portion of the closing portion 22 and one portion at the left end portion, and one fixing portion 21 a is formed at each of the left and right end portions of the bottom surface portion 29. The fixing portion 21a is a boss-like member extending from the opening 23 side to the storage space 10a side, and has an insertion hole 21b penetrating from the glass 4 side to the storage space 10a side. The end of the insertion hole 21b on the storage space 10a side has a small diameter so that the screw head of the screw 10c (see FIGS. 2 and 7) inserted from the glass 4 side does not penetrate to the storage space 10a side. ing.

As shown in FIG. 7, the spoiler body 10 has attachment portions 10 b formed at five locations corresponding to the arrangement positions of the fixing portions 21 a of the base member 21.
As shown in FIG. 2, in the apparatus A of this example, when the base member 21 is inserted from the outside of the opening 14 of the spoiler body 10 in the on-vehicle state, the end of the fixed portion 21a becomes the end of the mounting portion 10b. Abut and stop. At this time, the closing portion 22 is flush with the back surface portion 13, and the wiper mechanism 20 and the spoiler body 10 are integrated in appearance.
In this state, the screw 10c is inserted into the insertion hole 21b of the fixing portion 21a and rotated, whereby the screw 10c is screwed into the screw groove of the mounting portion 10b. Thus, the base member 21 and the spoiler body 10 can be fixed by screwing the five fixing portions 21a and the attachment portions 10b.

  Further, when the device A is in a vehicle-mounted state, for example, when performing maintenance on components disposed in the spoiler body 10 such as the wiper motor device 30, the wiper mechanism 20 can be removed from the opening 14 by removing the screw 10c. It can be pulled out to the glass 4 side and removed from the spoiler body 10 with the wiper mechanism 20 alone. Accordingly, the wiper mechanism 20 can be maintained, and the inside of the spoiler body 10 can be accessed from the opening 14. Thereby, the working time can be greatly shortened.

  In this example, the base member 21 and the spoiler body 10 are screwed together and fixed integrally. However, the wiper mechanism 20 is inserted from the outside of the opening 14 or mounted outside the opening 14 in a vehicle-mounted state. If they can be pulled out and attached and removed, the fixing of both is not limited to screwing. For example, an engaging portion having elasticity is provided on one side, and an engaged portion is provided on the other, and the wiper mechanism 20 is inserted from the opening 14 so that the engaging portion and the engaged portion are elastically engaged. You may comprise. Moreover, you may fix by both the engaging means which consists of such an engaging part and a to-be-engaged part, and screwing. The fastening member is not limited to a screw, and may be an elastic body such as a clip.

Next, the assembly | attachment process to the vehicle 1 of the apparatus A of this example is demonstrated. In order to assemble apparatus A to vehicle 1, first, spoiler body 10 is fixed to the vehicle body surface (spoiler body fixing step). At this time, other components are also assembled. For example, the high mount stop lamp 40 is assembled to the spoiler body 10 and the vehicle-side wiring is connected to the high mount stop lamp 40.
At the same time or before and after, the wiper mechanism 20 is unitized. That is, the wiper motor device 30 is fixed to the base member 21 as described above, and the wiper (wiper arm 33, wiper blade 34) is fixed to the output shaft 32a of the wiper motor device 30 (wiper mechanism manufacturing process). Further, other components such as the washer nozzle 35 are fixed to the base member 21.

And after drawing out wiring and a hose from the inside of the opening part 14 of the spoiler main body 10 fixed to the vehicle 1, and connecting to the component of the wiper mechanism 20, the wiper mechanism 20 is accommodated in the storage space 10a through the opening part 14 from the recess 24 side. Insert it inside.
As the wiper mechanism 20 is inserted, the end portion of the fixing portion 21a comes into contact with the mounting portion 10b of the spoiler body 10 and stops. In this state, the screws 10c are inserted into the five insertion holes 21b and screwed together. (Wiper mechanism assembly process).

As a result, the wiper mechanism 20 is assembled to the spoiler body 10 to manufacture the device A, and the device A is mounted on the vehicle 1.
As described above, in the apparatus A of this example, the assembly to the vehicle 1 can be performed outside the vehicle, and the work from the inside of the vehicle becomes unnecessary, and the workability of the assembly is improved.
In this example, the spoiler body 10 is a separate body from the vehicle body. However, the wiper mechanism 20 can be similarly attached to the resin back door integrally formed with the spoiler.

In the above-described assembling method, the spoiler body 10 is first assembled and then the wiper mechanism 20 is assembled and the device A is mounted on the vehicle 1. However, the present invention is not limited to this. May be assembled together to complete the device A, and then the finished product may be placed and fixed on the vehicle body surface.
As for the assembly order of the wiper mechanism 20, first, the wiper motor device 30 is fixed to the fixing portion 26b of the base member 21, and then the base end portion of the wiper arm 33 can be rotated to the output shaft 32a and does not deviate in the axial direction. After that, the wiper mechanism 20 unitized in the spoiler body 10 is fixed, and the wiper arm 33 is finally fixed to the output shaft 32a so as to be at a predetermined stop position. Also good. If such an assembly is performed, it is possible to finely adjust the stop positions of the wiper arm 33 and the wiper blade 34.

(Modification example)
The above embodiment can be modified as follows.
The wiper mechanism 20 of the above embodiment is unitized by attaching the wiper motor device 30 and the like to the base member 21, and it is difficult for one worker to fix the base member 21 to the spoiler body 10 while supporting the entire unit. Met. Therefore, it is necessary to use a jig for supporting the base member 21 or to perform assembly work by two people. This modification is intended to facilitate the assembling work of the base member 21 and reduce the number of assembling steps.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present modification will be described only with respect to portions different from the above embodiment, with reference to FIGS. In addition, the structure shown with the same code | symbol is the same as the said embodiment.
8 is a front view of the modified wiper mechanism, FIG. 9 is a top view of the modified wiper mechanism, FIG. 10 is a front perspective view of the modified wiper mechanism, and FIG. 11 is an enlarged view of the protrusion of the modified wiper mechanism. FIG. 12 (enlarged view of region P in FIG. 8 and region Q in FIG. 9), FIG. 12 is an explanatory view showing a method for assembling the modified spoiler body and the wiper mechanism, and FIG. 13 is an engaged state of the modified spoiler body. FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional explanatory view showing a method of engaging the engaged convex portion with the protrusion, and FIG. 15 is an engaging claw for engaging the edge of the opening. FIG. 16 and FIG. 17 are explanatory views showing other modified examples of protrusions and engaged protrusions.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the rear spoiler device A <b> 1 of the present modification includes a wiper mechanism 120 disposed in a storage space 110 a inside the spoiler body 110. In the above-described embodiment, the fixing portion 21a of the wiper mechanism 20 is in contact with the mounting portion 10b of the spoiler body 10 and is fixed with screws 10c at five locations. The end is attached to the spoiler body 110 by engagement rather than screw fixing. That is, in this modified example, the screw number constant required for the assembly work of the wiper mechanism 120 is reduced as compared with the above embodiment.

As shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, the base member 121 of this modified example has a protrusion 50 as an engaging portion formed on one end side (wiper blade 34 side) thereof, and on the wiper blade 34 side and the central portion. The point where the fixing part 21a is not formed, and the point that the locking claw 51 that locks the edge part is provided at the position where it contacts the edge part of the opening part 14 so that no gap is generated between the spoiler body 110 These two points are different from the base member 21 of the above embodiment.
The base member 121 includes a closing portion (blocking wall) 22 that closes the opening portion 14 of the spoiler body 110, and is formed to bulge from the opening portion 23 formed in the closing portion 22 toward the vehicle front side (the storage space 110a side). A concave portion (concave wall) 124 is provided. A protrusion 50 is formed in the recess 124 so as to protrude laterally from the outer surface of the end portion on the left side (wiper blade 34 side) when viewed from the rear of the vehicle. Further, two rib-like locking claws 51 are projected at predetermined positions on the upper outer surface of the recess 124. Further, a boss-like fixing portion 21a is formed at the end of the base member 121 on the right side of the vehicle rear view (wiper motor device 30 side).

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 10, the protrusion 50 extends substantially horizontally on the left side when viewed from the opening 23 side of the base member 121, and has substantially the same thickness from the base end to the tip. It is formed as follows. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the planar shape of the protrusion 50 (viewed from above in the vehicle) is substantially rectangular as a whole, and the corner portion on the back end side is rounded and chamfered.
As shown in FIG. 11, the side surface 50 c on the opening 23 side of the protrusion 50 is connected to a concave curved surface 50 b that is formed in the base end portion of the protrusion 50 and has a cylindrical shape that is a quarter of a cylindrical shape. The surface 50 b is connected to the side surface 50 a of the recess 124. In this example, the side surface 50a, the curved surface 50b, and the side surface 50c thus form a concave, substantially L-shaped surface with a curved corner.

As shown in FIG. 12, the spoiler body 110 of the present modified example protrudes toward the inner side of the left edge portion of the opening 14 closed by the base member 121 toward the back side (vehicle front side) of the storage space 110a. The point which the to-be-engaged convex part 52 is formed differs from the spoiler main body 10 of the said Example.
When attaching the base member 121 to the spoiler body 110, the attaching operator brings the base member 121 close to the edge of the opening 14 from the protrusion 50 side as shown in FIG. It is inserted into and brought into contact with the engaged convex portion 52. Then, the base member 121 is rotated in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 12B while supporting the one end side of the base member 121 while maintaining the contact state between the protrusion 50 and the engaged convex portion 52.
Thereby, the base member 121 is rotated in a state where one end side is supported. The wiper motor device 30 and the recess 124 are housed in the housing space 110a, and the opening portion 14 is closed by the closing portion 22 and can be fixed to the spoiler body 110 by the screw 10c. .

  FIG. 13 is an enlarged view of the vicinity of the engaged convex portion 52, and FIG. 14 shows a method of engaging the engaged convex portion 52 and the protrusion 50 by a cross-sectional view taken along the line XX in FIG. 13. It is a thing. As shown in these drawings, the engaged convex portion 52 has a side surface (side surface 52a) that extends from the inner wall of the edge of the opening 14 toward the back side of the storage space 110a. 52a is connected to a 1/4 cylindrical convex curved surface 52b that curves to the left side of the rear of the vehicle (the outer peripheral side of the opening 14) at a predetermined position inside the storage space 110a. The other end side of the curved surface 52b is connected to a side surface 52c substantially perpendicular to the side surface 52a.

In this modified example, as described above, the side surface of the engaged convex portion 52 is formed by the curved surface 52b and the side surfaces 52a and 52c so as to form a convex substantially L-shaped surface having a curved corner portion. Further, the lower part (vehicle body surface side) of the engaged convex part 52 is connected to the fixed part 15 (see FIG. 12), and the upper part extends to the upper part from the upper end of the opening part 14. For example, the upper end of the engaged convex portion 52 may be connected to the inner wall of the rectifying unit 11.
In addition, the protrusion 50 of this modification corresponds to the engaging portion of the present invention, the engaged convex portion 52 of this modification corresponds to the engaged portion of the present invention, and the curved surface 50b of this modification corresponds to this book. The curved surface 52b of this modification corresponds to the convex curved surface of the present invention, and the locking claw 51 of this modified example corresponds to the locking portion of the present invention.

With such a configuration, the spoiler body 110 and the base member 121 are in a state in which the concave substantially L-shaped surface is in contact with the convex substantially L-shaped surface and externally fitted, as shown in FIG. The engagement is completed. That is, the protrusion 50 can be hooked and engaged with the engaged convex portion 52. The engagement procedure will be described below.
First, the base member 121 is moved closer to the spoiler body 110 in the vehicle-mounted state in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 12 (a), and the protrusion 50 enters the inner wall side of the edge of the opening 14. And the front-end | tip part of the side surface 50a of the processus | protrusion 50 is made to contact | abut to the predetermined position of the side surface 52a of the to-be-engaged convex part 52. FIG. As a result, as shown in FIG. 14B, one end side of the base member 121 comes into contact with the engaged convex portion 52 of the spoiler body 110.
The abutting operation can be performed without holding the base member 121 in an accurate posture, and can be easily performed by one worker.

Next, the side surface 50a is slid to the back side (vehicle front side) along the side surface 52a while maintaining the contact state, and further, is slid along the curved surface 52b as shown in FIG. . Thereby, the angle of the protrusion 50 with respect to the engaged convex portion 52, that is, the angle of the base member 121 with respect to the spoiler body 110 sequentially changes. Accordingly, as shown in the arrow direction of FIG. 12B, the base member 121 is rotated with respect to the spoiler body 110, and the wiper motor device 30 side of the base member 121 is inserted into the storage space 110a from the opening 14. It will be done. At the same time, the tip end side of the protrusion 50 is inserted into the side of the vehicle 52 (that is, the back side of the storage space 110a) from the side 52c side, that is, the engaged convex portion 52.
Thus, the engaging operation for sliding and engaging the contact portion can be performed while stably supporting the base member 121 without using a jig for supporting the base member 121. That is, since one end side is supported, even one person can rotate the base member 121 while stably supporting it. Therefore, assembly work is facilitated.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 14 (a), the side surface 52a and the side surface 50a, the side surface 52c and the side surface 50c are in contact with each other, and the concave substantially L-shaped surface is externally fitted on the convex substantially L-shaped surface. When the state is reached, the opening portion 14 is closed by the closing portion 22, and the fixing portion 21a of the base member 121 comes into contact with the end portion of the mounting portion 10b and stops, so that the screw can be fixed. That is, the position of the protrusion 50 in this state is the engagement completion position. At the engagement completion position, the protrusion 50 is inserted and hooked on the vehicle front side (the back side of the storage space 110a) with respect to the engaged convex portion 52. Therefore, one end side (wiper blade 34 side) of the base member 121 is not detached from the spoiler body 110 and falls to the vehicle rear side (glass 4 side), and is in a state supported by the spoiler body 110 by engagement. .

Thus, if the one end side of the base member 121 is attached so as not to be disengaged by engagement, screw fixing of the end portion on the engagement side can be omitted. Therefore, the number of screw tightening steps can be reduced, and the working time can be shortened. In this modified example, not only screw fixing on the wiper blade 34 side of the base member 121 but also screw fixing at the center in the vehicle width direction is omitted. This further reduces the number of screw fixings.
The wiper mechanism 120, which is a unit structure, has the center of gravity of the mounting position of the wiper motor device 30, but the end of the base member 121 on the wiper motor device 30 side, that is, the end closer to the center of gravity, as in this modified example. Is fixed by screws, and the end on the wiper blade 34 side far from the center of gravity is fixed by engagement, the moment load applied to the protrusion 50 as the engaging portion during vibration or impact can be reduced. Further, by forming the protrusion 50 on the surface of the engaged convex portion 52, the contact area between the engaged convex portion 52 and the protrusion 50 in the engaged state is ensured. . Therefore, the load during vibration or impact is not concentrated in one place. With the configuration as described above, damage to the protrusion 50 is prevented.

Further, in the state where the base member 121 is in contact with the end of the mounting portion 10b and stopped, the central portion of the upper edge portion 14a of the opening portion 14 is closed by the locking claw 51 as shown in FIG. Is fitted and locked in the gap.
As shown in FIGS. 10 and 12, the locking claw 51 is located in the vicinity of the center of the upper outer surface of the recess 124 when viewed from the rear of the vehicle (the position at which the upper edge of the opening 14 can be locked in the vicinity of the center of the rear of the vehicle). Are formed in a rib shape in the vicinity of the closing portion 22. In this modified example, the upper edge portion 14a is inserted into the gap between the end surface of the locking claw 51 and the closing portion 22 so as to be fitted thereto, thereby fitting the upper edge portion 14a to the base member. 121 can be locked.

  FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view of the spoiler body 110 and the base member 121 in an assembled state (YY cross-sectional view of FIG. 12). As shown in this figure, the base member 121 of this modified example has a thin outer side surface (surface on the outside of the spoiler body 110) of the upper edge portion 14a that is notched in a step shape. The stepped recess portion can be attached so that the closing portion 22 is flush with the outer surface of the base member 121 by fitting the tip of the closing portion 22. The upper edge portion 14 a comes into contact with the end surface of the locking claw 51 when the outer surface is brought into contact with the closing portion 22 in this way. That is, the locking claw 51 is formed at a position where the gap between the end surface and the closing portion 22 is substantially the same as the thickness of the upper edge portion 14a.

The base member 121 is loaded so as to bend toward the vehicle rear side (outside of the storage space 110a) due to its weight or the like in the assembled state. In particular, when the screw fixing at the center in the vehicle width direction is omitted, the deflection at the center increases. However, if the upper edge portion 14a of the opening 14 is locked by the locking claw 51 in the vicinity of the upper center of the base member 121 as in this example, the blocking portion 22 and the opening 14 are locked at the locking position. A contact state with the upper edge portion 14a is ensured, bending is prevented, and generation of a gap is prevented. Therefore, the opening part 14 can be obstruct | occluded by the obstruction | occlusion part 22 without a clearance gap, and the external appearance design property is improved.
Note that the locking claws 51 may be provided at one place or three or more places, or may be formed on the upper outer surface of the recess 124 at a predetermined interval, and the upper edge portion 14a may be locked at a predetermined interval.

In addition, the shape of the protrusion 50 and the engaged convex part 52 of this modification can be made into various shapes as shown below in addition to the above shapes.
A protrusion 150 shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B has a curved surface 150b formed of a semicircular cylindrical surface instead of the curved surface 50b and the side surface 50c. In addition, the engaged convex portion 152 shown in FIG. 16B is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, and has a curved surface 152b formed of a substantially cylindrical surface instead of the curved surface 52b. As shown in FIG. 16B, the engaged convex portion 152 is cut off from the inner wall surface of the left edge portion of the opening 14 and has an independent column shape. And the lower end is joined to the fixed part 15 and the upper end is joined to the inner wall of the rectifying part 11.

As described above, when the engaging surface is a semicircular cylindrical surface, the protrusion 150 can be slid along the engaged protrusion 152 and engaged as in the above embodiment, and the protrusion 150 is engaged. Since the mating protrusions 152 are engaged so as to surround the semicircular shape, the engagement is less likely to be released than when the substantially L-shaped surfaces are brought into contact with each other.
Further, in the above modification, the protrusion 50 is engaged with the engaged convex portion 52 as the base member 121 rotates, and the other end portion (wiper motor device 30 side) of the base member 121 reaches the fixed position at the same time as the engagement is completed. Was configured to be. However, if a cylindrical shape is used like the engaged convex portion 152, a hook-like or hook-like projection is first hooked on this cylindrical surface to complete the engagement, and the projection is cylindrical when the engagement is completed. It can be made slidable along. In this way, the base member 121 can be rotated and assembled in a more stably supported state, and the ease of assembling work is improved.
As for the protrusion 50, various shapes such as hooks and hooks may be used as long as the protrusion 50 has a shape that can be hooked on a cylindrical surface, in addition to the rod shape having a curved surface at the base end as described above. It is possible.

  In addition, the protrusion 250 shown in FIG. 17 is formed so that the thickness on the distal end side is thinner than that on the proximal end side so as to have a wedge shape when viewed from the side. That is, the upper and lower surfaces are formed as slopes. A stopper 252 that is in contact with the protrusion 250 from above and below is provided on a side surface on which the protrusion 250 is fitted on the engaged convex portion to which the protrusion 250 is engaged. The stopper 253 can be formed by, for example, an elastic member. The stopper 253 is assembled in a state in which the base member 121 can be screwed (state in which the opening 14 is completely closed) as shown by a one-dot chain line in FIG. The position is set so as to come into contact with the protrusion 250 from above and below when in the engagement complete position). That is, the stopper 253 can restrict the position of the protrusion 250 so that the protrusion 250 does not shift vertically in the engagement completion position. Therefore, rattling of the protrusion 250 and the engaged convex portion 252 can be prevented, and the base member 121 can be prevented from rattling and the positioning can be ensured. In addition, you may provide the stopper which prevents the further approach to the engagement direction of the protrusion 250 in an engagement completion position.

  In addition, although all the engaged convex parts 52 and 152 were formed in the inner wall of the left side edge part of the opening part 14, it is also possible to provide an engaged convex part other than this position. For example, you may provide a to-be-engaged convex part in the outer wall of the edge part of the opening part 14. FIG. In this case, an engagement method may be employed in which the engagement portion (projection 50 or the like) does not fall to the glass 4 side when the engagement is completed.

In addition to the above modification examples, the following modifications can be made with respect to the shape of the edge of the opening 14.
In the modified example, by forming the upper edge portion 14 a out of the edge portions of the opening portion 14 in a step shape, the tip end portion (outer peripheral end portion) of the closing portion 22 is flush with the outer surface of the base member 121. However, such a configuration can be provided not only at a portion sandwiched between the locking claw 51 and the closing portion 22 but also at an arbitrary position on the edge portion of the opening portion 14. Further, the entire edge of the opening 14 may be configured as described above.

For example, FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional view of the spoiler body 210. In the spoiler body 210, the edge (upper edge) of the opening 14 is a stepped shape portion 214a having a stepped end. . The stepped shape portion 214a is thicker than the other parts of the spoiler body 210, and the outer surface of the tip (the surface on the outside of the spoiler body 210) is recessed in a stepped shape. It has become. The depth of the recessed portion in the stepped shape is substantially the same as the thickness dimension of the outer peripheral end portion of the closing portion 22. Further, the outer shape of the closing portion 22 is formed to be slightly larger than the opening portion 14, and the recessed portion of the stepped shape portion 214 a is formed so as to be substantially the same as the outer peripheral shape of the closing portion 22.
With such a configuration, in the assembling operation in which the outer peripheral end portion of the closing portion 22 is attached to overlap the outside of the stepped shape portion 214a, the closing portion 22 is fitted and attached to the recessed portion of the stepped shape portion 214a. Therefore, the positioning of the blocking portion 22 is very easy. In particular, the positioning of the closing portion 22 in the depth direction is set so that the closing portion 22 is automatically flush with the outer surface of the spoiler body 210 by overlapping the closing portion 22 on the outer surface side of the stepped shape portion 214a. So it is very easy.

In addition, in the spoiler body 310 shown in FIG. 19, the depth of the recess of the stepped shape portion 314a is set to be larger than the thickness dimension of the closed portion 22, and the gap between the stepped shape portion 314a and the closed portion 22 is An elastic member 314b is provided. The elastic member 314b may be formed of, for example, a material such as sponge or rubber, and can be easily attached if it is previously attached to either the stepped shape portion 314a or the closing portion 22 with an adhesive or the like at the time of assembly. It is. In this example, the dimensions are set so that the closed portion 22 and the outer surface of the spoiler body 310 are flush with each other when the closed portion 22 is attached with the elastic member 314b sandwiched in the gap.
With such a configuration, as in the configuration of FIG. 18, alignment when the closing portion 22 is assembled is very easy. In the configuration shown in FIG. 19, even if the spoiler body 310 or the closing portion 22 vibrates during traveling of the vehicle, the elastic member 314b is elastically deformed, thereby suppressing the occurrence of noise due to rattling or collision of each member. be able to.

  Further, in the configuration shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the outer peripheral end portion of the closing portion 22 is overlapped on the outer surface side of the stepped shape portion 214 a (314 a), and the overlapped gap is further formed in the stepped shape portion 314 a. The elastic member 314b is sandwiched between the two. Therefore, the gap between the spoiler body 210 (310) and the closing portion 22 is well closed, and the structure is highly dustproof and waterproof. Moreover, since the blockage part 22 is dimensioned so that it may become flush | level with the spoiler main body 210 (310) in any structure, the external appearance design property is improved.
