JP3042529U - Pillarless windshield of a vehicle - Google Patents

Abstract

(57) [Abstract] (Modified) [PROBLEMS] To prevent accidents due to blind spots by removing the windshield front pillars from the driver's field of view and eliminating the blind spot in front of the driver. A windshield (1) is integrated with a front roof (2), pillars (3) and a bottom frame (9), and is connected to a chassis (7) in front of a driver's seat by a horizontal hinge (8). The side door 6 is integrated with the window glass 4 and is also connected to the chassis 7 by a hinge on the vertical axis.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a windshield and a roof in a vehicle.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In the conventional windshield of a vehicle, as shown in FIG. 6, front pillars 13 are provided and fixed to both sides of the driver, that is, in the front field of view.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the conventional vehicle, the front pillar 13 is in the driver's forward field of view, and this becomes an obstacle and causes a blind spot, which hinders safe driving.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The front pillar 13 of FIG. 6 is excluded from the driver's forward field of view, and as shown in FIG. 5, the pillar 3 is instead provided behind the driver's eyes.

[0005]

[Action]

 As shown in Fig. 5, the windshield 1 is shaped like a U, and as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 5, the windshield 1 penetrates largely into the direction of the windshield 4, and the pillar 3 and the front roof 2 and both sides of the windshield 4 are inserted. It is fixed to and integrated with a bottom frame 9 that supports the bottom of the windshield 1 that connects between the pillars 3, and as shown in FIG. 2, a chassis 8 in front of the driver's seat is hinged by a hinge 8 that serves as a hinge. It is attached so that it can be opened and closed.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the windshield 4 has a large amount of the windshield 1 inserted therein, so that the windshield 4 is smaller by that amount, but can be opened and closed vertically.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the side door 6 can be opened and closed regardless of whether the integrated windshield 1 is opened or closed.

The integrated windshield 1 can also be opened and closed regardless of whether the side door 6 is opened or closed, as shown in FIG.

[0009]

【Example】

 The pillar 3 of the windshield 1 integrated as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7 is provided behind the driver's eyes and is connected to the chassis 7 by the hinge 8 as shown in FIG. It can be opened and closed upwards.

The side door 6 is connected to the chassis 7 by a hinge on the vertical axis so that it can be opened and closed laterally, as is commonly used in conventional vehicles.

The window glass 4 integrated with the side door 6 can be freely opened and closed by sliding it up and down.

The rubber 12 in FIGS. 2 and 3 is attached to ensure the airtightness of the room.

When the front roof 2 is closed, it is closed so as to cover the rear roof 5 as shown in FIG. 1, and when the front roof 2 is opened during rainy weather, it is shown in FIG. In this way, the open ceiling part acts as an umbrella to prevent rain from entering the room.

With the above-described structure, when the driver or passenger gets on and off, as shown in FIG. 3, the windshield 1 and the side door 6 which are integrated are opened and closed. The height and size of the doorway required for getting on and off the driver or passengers will be secured.

In addition, when it is necessary to make contact with the outside air from the inside of the room or to put the hand out of the room such as a tollgate on a toll road, this is done by opening the window glass 4 of the side door 6. However, to facilitate this, an S-shaped pillar 15 bent into an S shape may be used as shown in FIG.

[0016]

[Effect of the invention]

 Since there is no front pillar in the front view of the driver and passengers as in the past, a field of view of 180 degrees or more without blind spots can be obtained, which improves comfort while driving and prevents traffic accidents.

[Brief description of the drawings]

FIG. 1 is a partial side view of a vehicle when all the doorways are closed.

FIG. 2 is a partial side view of a vehicle with a windshield and a front roof opened.

FIG. 3 shows a vehicle in which a windshield, a front roof and side doors are opened, that is, a state in which a driver is getting on and off,
It is a partial view seen from the side.

FIG. 4 is a partial side view of the vehicle with only the side doors opened.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing in simplified form the positions of the windshield and side doors, and the driver's face.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing in simplified form the positions of the conventional windshield and side doors, and the driver's face.

FIG. 7 is a simplified side view of the positions of the windshield, the pillars, and the driver's face.

FIG. 8 is a simplified view of the positions of the windshield, pillars, and the driver's face as seen from the side, but shows a structure in which the pillar shape is bent into an S shape in order to facilitate the putting in and taking out of the hands. .
