For example, when a driver such as a wagon, vehicle, or transportation vehicle rests in summer, it is not preferable to keep using an air conditioner because it is wasteful of fuel consumption and has an adverse effect on the environment. It is generally recognized.
For this reason, conventionally, a screen door for a vehicle door has been proposed and generally known (see Patent Document 1).
The conventional door for a vehicle door, that is, a vehicle screen door, is provided with an outer frame around the net, and with the outer frame pushed into the window frame, the sealing device is attached to the window frame with the outer frame sandwiched between them, The outer frame is fixed between the sealing device and the body.

JP 2002-172932 A

However, the conventional vehicle screen door uses a sealing device to fix the outer frame around the net to the window frame, so that the workability of attaching / detaching to the window frame is poor, that is, the convenience of attaching / detaching is low. There is a drawback that handling of the attachment and detachment is inconvenient.
In addition, when the conventional screen door for a vehicle is removed and stored, the outer frame surrounding the net and the sealing device cannot be folded in a compact manner. There were drawbacks.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and to provide a vehicular door that can be easily attached to and detached from a window frame of a vehicle door and that is advantageous in storage convenience.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a vehicular screen door that is flexible for insertion and retention in a concave groove of a window frame that guides the vertical movement of the glass window of the vehicle door. It has a frame member having a property, and is formed by fixing a flexible net by the frame member, and can be folded by both flexibility.
The mesh has a configuration in which portions that intersect each other are in a joined state in advance, and each of the intersecting portions does not shift.
The frame member and the net are characterized in that at least a partial region is made of resin.
The frame member has magnetism so that the folding can be maintained.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a vehicular door that can be easily attached to and detached from the window frame of the vehicle door and that is advantageous in storage convenience.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a vehicle screen door according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing a configuration of a vehicle screen door according to an embodiment of the present invention from the outside.
The vehicle screen door 1 is inserted and held in the concave groove 2 to be held in each concave groove (see FIG. 2) 3 of the window frame 2 that guides the vertical movement of the glass window of the vehicle door (see FIG. 4) 1A. The frame member 11 has the flexibility described above.

In the case of this example, as shown in FIG. 1, the frame member 11 is configured in a frame shape having, for example, a quadrangular configuration, and the peripheral side of the entire circumference of the flexible mesh 12 is integrally fixed. Is. Since the frame member 11 has flexibility and magnetism, it can be easily folded or rolled up.
The frame member 11 is configured using a predetermined metal, resin, rubber material, or the like as a flexible member. However, the frame member 11 is composed of a predetermined member having flexibility and magnetism.
When the frame member 11 has flexibility and magnetism, when the frame member 11 is folded or rolled up, it is not necessary to use a storage member such as a specific band in order to maintain the state by its own magnetism. To.

The vehicular screen door 1 is formed by fixing the periphery of a mesh 12 having flexibility similarly by a frame member 11, and can be folded by both flexibility.
The net 12 is made of, for example, the same member as the frame member 11, and the portions that intersect with each other are in a joined state in advance, so that each intersecting portion does not shift.
For this reason, when the frame member 11 is folded or rolled up, it is possible to prevent in advance a problem that the crossing portions of the meshes of the mesh 12 are shifted and the interval between the meshes is widened.
In addition, the vehicle screen door 1 of the present example is configured such that a part of the region surrounded by a circle is made of the resin 13 (see FIG. 1), so that the work when the vehicle door 1A is installed in the concave grooves 3 of the window frame 2 is performed. And workability such as adjustment of the height position of the glass window when the glass window of the vehicle is opened may be improved.
In the case where the partial region is formed of the resin 13, there is an effect of preventing in advance the damage of the portion that the vehicle door 1A contacts, and a favorable result is obtained also in terms of design.
Further, a part of the region may be formed of the resin 13, and a hole may be formed in a stitch shape in order to provide air permeability as a supplement from functionality and design.

On the other hand, the frame member 11 may be configured to bend gently so as to follow the window frame shape of a vehicle such as a wagon, vehicle, or sedan (see FIG. 3).
Also in this case, by constituting a partial region surrounded by circles with the resin 13 (see FIG. 3), the workability when the vehicle door 1A is installed in each concave groove 3 of the window frame 2 and the vehicle glass window It is possible to improve workability such as adjustment of the height position of the glass window when opened.
In addition, by constituting a partial region with the resin 13, there is an effect of preventing in advance the damage of the contact portion of the vehicle door 1 </ b> A, and a favorable result in terms of design is obtained.
Further, a part of the region may be formed of the resin 13, and a hole may be formed in a stitch shape in order to provide air permeability as a supplement from functionality and design.
The vehicle screen door 1 can be integrally molded in advance in a flexible manner by, for example, injection molding, but may be manufactured by using any other molding method. For example, there is a manufacturing method in which the edge of the entire net 12 is caulked and fixed by pressing the frame member 11.
In the case where the partial area is formed of the resin 13, it is possible to improve the manufacturability of the vehicle screen door 1 by applying the resin 13 to a portion that is difficult to manufacture when the vehicle screen door 1 is manufactured.

When the vehicle screen door 1 is mounted in the groove 3 of the window frame 2 of the vehicle door 1A, for example, with the upper side portion of the frame member 11 being bent, the left and right sides of the frame member 11 are first placed in the window frame. 2 is inserted and held in the left and right concave grooves 3.
As an example, there is a mounting method in which the upper side portion of the frame member 11 is returned to a straight shape and pushed up and inserted and held in the concave grooves 3 of the window frame 2 after an appropriate state. FIG. 4 shows a state in which the vehicle screen 1 is mounted in the groove 3 of the window frame 2 of the vehicle door 1A.
Conversely, when the vehicle screen door 1 is removed from the groove 3 of the window frame 2 of the vehicle door 1A, for example, the left and right sides of the frame member 11 are first moved in a state where the lower side portion of the frame member 11 is bent. An example is a removal method in which the left and right concave grooves 3 of the window frame 2 are removed and the frame member 11 is further pulled out downward.
However, the method of attaching / detaching the vehicle door 1 to / from the groove 3 of the window frame 2 of the vehicle door 1 is not limited to the above method, and any other method may be used.

(Supplement of the present invention)
The vehicle screen door 1 includes a frame member 11 and a net 12. The net 12 is not particularly stretchable but may be stretchable. The frame member 11 is made of steel, for example, and its thickness (thickness) is, for example, about 2 mm. However, the thickness (thickness) of the frame member 11 may be arbitrarily determined according to the vehicle.
The frame member 11 is fixed by being fitted into a recess (concave groove 3) of the window frame 2 of the vehicle. When housed, the frame member 11 of the vehicle screen door 1 can be folded, for example, by twisting it into a figure of eight.
Folding may be maintained using the magnetism of the frame member 11 or using a predetermined band or a predetermined bag is optional. By doing so, the vehicle screen 1 can be stored small.
When the frame member 11 is twisted into, for example, a figure 8, the size can theoretically be reduced to a quarter. However, after the frame member 11 is folded in two, the frame member 11 may be folded into four and reduced to a quarter.

It is also preferable to stretch a net that does not lose its shape on steel or the like that keeps the shape of the vehicle screen 1 and to protect the wear of the net or to frame the frame member 11 with a cloth or the like in order to improve the appearance.
When the screen of an ordinary screen door is twisted or returned, the mesh tends to shift. This is because the point where the net string and the string intersect is not fixed. When the mesh is shifted, a coarse portion of the mesh is formed, from which small insects can easily enter.
The net of the present invention uses a net that is woven so that the points where the cords cross each other are fixed so that the mesh of the net 12 does not deviate from the net of the ordinary screen door. If it does in this way, even if the frame member 11 is twisted or returned to the net of the screen door, the mesh does not shift, and a small insect does not enter from there, which is more preferable.
On the other hand, the portion surrounded by ○ shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 is made of resin 13, which is suitable for the case where it is difficult to process the frame member 11 with, for example, steel. . Therefore, the screen door is made as simple as possible, and the complicated shape portion (for example, ○ portion) is made of a resin plate to prevent insects from entering.

The vehicle screen door 1 can be stored compactly without folding storage space when not in use. In use, it is expanded and fitted into the groove 3 of the window frame 2 for use. In use, the opening and closing of the glass window can be freely adjusted by adjusting the fitting area.
Since the vehicular screen door 1 does not have a gap with the concave groove 3, it can prevent mosquitoes from entering from the outside like a home screen door. A comfortable space (vehicle interior space) can be obtained by adjusting the opening and closing of the glass window according to the season and weather.
It is possible to reduce exhaust gas and fuel consumption by idling stop when parked and stopped using the vehicle screen door 1 or when taking a nap, and it is possible to create an environment-friendly and economical situation. It is especially suitable for trucks and campers.
For example, it can be saved from 5 liters per hour, such as when taking a nap on a large long-distance truck, and it can save about 50,000 yen per month with 4 hours of nap, which is also effective from the viewpoint of reducing environmental pollution. It is.
At present, the benefits are enormous when used at the national level due to late night road stations and parking conditions.

As a convenience, especially when unloading trucks, etc. in mountainous areas in the summer, as a result of opening the glass window to prevent the room temperature from rising, there was a danger that bees etc. invaded and discovered during operation Occurrence can be reduced.
Similarly, campers can prevent the invasion of mosquitoes, flies, and bees, and enjoy a comfortable outdoors.
The idling stops such as trucks at midnight are the same, but it is also effective in terms of cost savings and environmental pollution if idling stops can be done even in taxis in Tokyo.
The net part is made of a material such as piano wire, steel, or plastic that matches the window frame, and the net part is not limited in size and has a size that does not block the outside air permeability.
Compared to the air-conditioned room closed in summer, it is harder to dry when the screen door is attached, so the state of the throat when waking up is better. Similarly, in winter, it can be avoided that condensation occurs on the glass window in the room, creating a dry condition and hurting the throat.
If the window frame has irregularities or sharp corners and processing is difficult, it can be blinded with a mold such as a plastic plate to keep the shape.
