Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rain shielding door shade for use when getting on and off a vehicle.

SOLUTION: A rain shielding door shade provides storage space of shade plates 5a, 5b between a roof panel 2 of a vehicle 1 and a head lining and is configured so that the left and right shade plates pass each other by attaching a division plate 4. When turning on a switch 10 attached to a dashboard, electromagnets 7q, 7b buried in a door sash 15 of an upper portion of a door 6 are operated to adsorb a steel plate attached to the shade plate, so that the shade plate is pulled out as soon as opening the door. In addition, when closing the door after getting out of the vehicle, the electric current to an electromagnet is cut off by the deactivation of the switch because the switch of the electromagnet is connected in series with the door switch. if opening the door from outside the vehicle in such a condition, the switch is turned on and the electric current flows into the electromagnet instantly, so that the shade plate is pulled out. Furthermore, wind from a blower fan is sent to the storage space through a front pillar to dry the shade plate of the storage space.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a motor vehicle equipped with a device for providing rain protection when getting on and off the motor vehicle.

Traditionally, when it was raining, it was inevitable that people would get wet, albeit for a short time, between getting out of the car and holding up an umbrella.
Furthermore, when getting into a car, the driver opens the door and folds the umbrella while putting one's body inside the car, so it is inevitable that the person will get wet from the rain or water droplets on the umbrella.

In order to solve this problem, rain protection devices for automobiles are proposed as shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2 below.

According to Patent Document 1, there is a device in which a roll-curtain-like expandable eave is stored in a housing and pulled out to provide rain protection when the door is opened, and a fan-shaped, bellows-like eave is attached between the vehicle body and the door. , is exposed with a device that unfolds when opening the door to provide rain protection.

According to Patent Document 2, a rain protection device is mounted on the roof of a car, and when the door is opened, the eaves is extended above the door using an arm.

Traditionally, when it was raining, it was inevitable that people would get wet, albeit for a short time, between getting out of the car and holding up an umbrella.
However, the device for winding up a roll curtain of Patent Document 1 has a large housing, and the bellows-type member is easily bent at the crease, making it difficult to store it accurately.
Further, the roof panel moving mechanism disclosed in Patent Document 2 has a complicated structure, and the device is quite large.

In the rain door shade of the present invention, a space 16 for storing a shade plate 5 is provided between the roof panel 2 and the headlining 3 of an automobile 1, a partition plate 4 is attached, and the left and right shade plates 5a and 5b pass each other. When the switch 10 attached to the dashboard 14 is turned on, the electromagnets 7a and 7b embedded in the upper part of the door 6 and the door sash 15 are activated to attract the iron plates 8a and 8b attached to the shade plate 5. It is pulled out as soon as the door is opened.
The left and right shade plates 5a and 5b are pulled out as needed, but even if they are pulled out at the same time, the partition plate 4 prevents them from colliding even if the doors on both sides are closed at the same time.
It also has a device for sending air from a blower fan into the storage space 16 through the front pillar 11 to dry the damp shade plate.

The partition plate 4 is attached to the headlining between the roof panel 2 and the headlining 3 when attaching the ceiling member of the automobile.

The rain shade plates 5a and 5b are stored in a storage space 16, and when it rains, when the switch 10 attached to the dashboard 14 is turned on, the electromagnet 7 is activated, and the iron plates 8a and 8 attached to the rain shade plates 5a and 5b are activated. It attracts 8b and is pulled out at the same time as the door is opened.

The electromagnetic switch 10 is connected in series with the door switch 12, and when the user exits the vehicle and closes the door from the outside, the door switch 12 is turned OFF, so the power to the electromagnet and all the power to the vehicle are turned OFF. .

The rain door shade allows you to get in and out of the car without getting wet in the rain. In addition, since the shade plate 5 is stored in the storage space 16 between the roof panel 2 and the headlining 3 of the automobile, the purpose is to simply add the partition plate 4 to the headlining 3 without changing the appearance of the automobile at all. can be achieved.

Since the shade plate 5 is attracted to the door and pulled out by the magnetic force of the electromagnet 7, it can be operated at the discretion of the driver only in rainy weather.
