[0004]

By the way, mainly in trucks and dump trucks, running on rough roads and running on rainy weather are many, and the running time is long. Therefore, for safe driving, the windshield is frequently cleaned.

[0005] Further, since the above-mentioned protective plate is attached with a slight gap between the protective plate and the front surface of the windshield, dirt during traveling is caused by the back surface of the protective plate and the protective plate. Also adheres to the front of the windshield. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the back surface of the protection plate and the front glass surface.

At the time of this cleaning, the gap between the guard plate and the front face of the windshield is so small that the guard plate must be removed. Therefore, as in the conventional case, in the case where the protection plate is attached to the vehicle body with a large number of bolts, it is necessary to attach and remove all bolts at the time of cleaning, and place the protection plate removed from the vehicle on the ground or the like, An operation of picking up this is also required, and in the case of a truck or a dump requiring a large number of cleaning times as described above, the cleaning operation is extremely troublesome. Due to such trouble, neglecting cleaning may lead to an accident.

[0007] Further, in the case of mounting on a vehicle with a bolt as described above, a bolt hole must be formed in the vehicle, and a working operation on the vehicle is required, so that the vehicle cannot be directly mounted on an existing vehicle.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a wind guard which can solve the above-mentioned problems.
