Description

  The present invention relates to a snow removal cover for an automobile capable of removing snow falling on the automobile.

  Many people have experienced the difficulty of removing snow from cars. It is also possible to remove snow that has fallen on the car by attaching the car cover to the car and removing the car cover. However, since automobile covers that are generally used in the past are mainly intended for dust or dirt on the vehicle body or for paint protection, the size of the vehicle cover can also cover the entire vehicle body. It is not necessarily excellent in handling.

An automotive cover suitable for snow removal has been proposed in place of a conventional general automotive cover. For example, an automobile cover including a covering sheet that covers a roof and each window and a string that locks the covering sheet has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). There has also been proposed an automobile cover that covers the entire automobile by supplying air and inflating the bag when the cover is formed into a double bag structure (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

  FIG. 1 is a plan view of a snow removal cover 1 for an automobile as an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a view showing a state in which two columnar bodies 19 are mounted on the rod-shaped body 5a constituting the snow removal cover 1 for an automobile. FIG. 3 is a front view schematically showing a state in which the snow removal cover 1 is set in the automobile, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which the snow removal cover 1 is set in the automobile. FIG. 5 is a view showing a state in which the snow removal cover 1 is scraped to remove the accumulated snow 40.

  The snow removal cover 1 is a snow removal cover for an automobile for removing the snow 40 falling on the vehicle body 50 of the automobile. The snow removal cover 1 is placed on the vehicle body 50 before it snows, and the snow removal cover 1 is covered after the snow falls. The snow 40 on the vehicle body 50 is removed. The snow removal cover 1 for an automobile includes a net-like cover body 3 that covers a vehicle body 50, rod-like bodies 5 (5a, 5b) inserted into cylindrical portions 13 (13a, 13b) on both sides of the cover body 3, one end Two ropes 7 (7a, 7b) bound to one cylindrical portion 13a and a tubular portion 13a bound to the other end of the rope 7 and bound to one end of the rope 7 And a pulling rod 9 that pulls over the roof 52.

  The cover body 3 has a rectangular shape, the longitudinal direction is at least as long as the full length L of the automobile, and the lateral direction covers the side rearview mirrors 54 (54a, 54b) on both sides beyond the roof 52. Has a possible length. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, when the snow removal cover 1 is placed on the vehicle body 50, the bonnet 56, the roof 52, the trunk 58, the front part 60, and the tail part 62 can be covered. An example of a specific size is 6 m × 2.5 m for a normal car and 4.1 × 2.3 m for a light car. The cover body 3 is made of a synthetic resin net. The size of the mesh of the cover main body 3 is preferably about 1 to 3 mm, and may be a net made of woven synthetic fibers or a net made of non-woven fabric. Although the material is not particularly limited, it must be strong at low temperatures and must not be easily damaged or broken even when pulled. Nylon, polyethylene, etc. used for fishing lines can be suitably used. A resinous net can be used. The thickness of the cover body 3 may be appropriately determined in consideration of strength, weight, and handleability. For example, the thickness is about 0.5 to 2 mm.

  Cylindrical portions 13 (13a, 13b) into which the rod-like body 5 can be inserted are provided on both sides 11 (11a, 11b) in the longitudinal direction of the cover body 3. The cylindrical portion 13 is formed by folding a part of the cover body 3 and sewing the end sides 15 (15a, 15b) of the folded member with the cover body 3. The tubular portion 13a on the side where the rope 7 is bound is larger than the tubular portion 13b on the opposite side. In consideration of the case where the rod-like body 5a to which the cylindrical body 19 (19a, 19b) shown in FIG. 2 is inserted is inserted into the cylindrical portion 13a, the rod-like body 5a to which the columnar body 19 is attached is inserted. Is possible size. On the other hand, the cylindrical portion 13b has a size in which the rod-shaped body 5b can be inserted because there is no case where the columnar body 19 is attached to the rod-shaped body 5b.

  Since the cover body 3 is made of a sheet-like net, it can be removed from the vehicle body 50 relatively easily even if it freezes on the vehicle body 50 due to cold when it is put on the wet vehicle body 50. Further, the cover body 3 is composed of a sheet-like net, and as shown in the usage method described later, the rod-like body 5 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 13, one rod-like body 5a is hooked on the side rearview mirror 54a, and the other rod-like body 5b. Is hung on the other side rearview mirror 54b or hung so as to be positioned below the side rearview mirror 54b. The cover body 3 is thin and lightly foldable and easy to handle. It can be stored compactly. Furthermore, it is difficult to damage and can be used for many years.

  The rod-shaped body 5 (5a, 5b) serves as a weight for preventing the cover body 3 from being blown by the wind when the cover body 3 is put on the vehicle body 50, and the snow 40 that has fallen on the vehicle body 50. When removing the cover body 3 that covers the vehicle body 50 in order to remove the cover body 3, it serves as a guide that allows the long sides of the cover body 3 to be scraped together. It is inserted in 13a and 13b so that extraction is possible respectively. As shown in FIG. 2, the rod-shaped body 5 is composed of pipes 17a, 17b, 17c, 18a, and 18b having different diameters and is capable of expanding and contracting, and has the same length as the full length L of the automobile when fully extended.

  Since the rod-shaped body 5 has the above-mentioned role, it is necessary to have a weight that can prevent the cover body 3 from being blown and scattered by the wind, and a strength that allows the cover body 3 to be rolled evenly when the cover body 3 is rolled. On the other hand, if the weight is heavy, handling becomes inconvenient, and the weight should not be increased more than necessary. Further, since it is necessary not to damage the vehicle body 50, a synthetic resin pipe can be preferably used. As such a rod-like body, a pipe made of vinyl chloride having a nominal diameter of 15 to 40 mm is exemplified.

  When there is a lot of snow 40 that has fallen on the vehicle body 50, when the rod-shaped body 5 has a small diameter, when the tubular portion 13a into which the rod-shaped body 5a is inserted so as to crawl the cover body 3 is pulled by the pull rod 9, The rod-shaped body 5a does not enter the snow 40 and the snow 40 cannot be completely removed. When the amount of snow is large, the cylindrical body 19 (19a, 19b) having a diameter larger than that of the rod-shaped body 5a is attached to the rod-shaped body 5a as shown in FIG. The columnar body 19 has a through hole 21 (21a, 21b) that can be inserted into the rod-shaped body 5a at the center, and is inserted into the rod-shaped body 5a so as to be extractable. Two cylindrical bodies 19 are attached at intervals to only the rod-like body 5a on the side to which the rope 7 is fastened. When the rod-shaped body 5a fitted with such a columnar body 19 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 13a of the cover body 3, the tubular portion 13a into which the rod-shaped body 5a is inserted is pulled with the pulling rod 9 so as to hold the cover body 3. Even if there is a large amount of snow, the distance between the surface of the roof 52 and the central portion of the rod-shaped body 5a increases, so the rod-shaped body 5a does not get into the snow 40 and the cover body 3 is rolled cleanly so as to wrap the snow 40 Can be taken.

  The rope 7 is a member for pulling the tubular portion 13a of the cover body 3 including the inserted rod-like body 5a. A through hole for passing two ropes is provided in the cover body 3 of the cylindrical portion 13a at a position having the same distance from the end portions 22a and 22b (not shown), and each rope 7a. 7b are fastened to the cylindrical portion 13a so as to fix the rod-like body 5a inserted into the cylindrical portion 13a and the cylindrical portion 13a by using the through holes. The distance between the two ropes 7 that are fastened to the tubular portion 13a is such that when the tubular portion 13 including the rod-shaped body 5a is pulled, the tubular portion 13 including the rod-shaped body 5a moves in parallel. It is desirable to have it. The other ends 25a and 25b of the two ropes 7 are attached to the pulling rod 9 at intervals. The rope 7 that can be used here may be a rope that can be pulled so as to crawl the cover main body 3 on which the snow 40 is piled, and a commercially available rope can be used. When the amount of snow is large, the rod-like body 5a inserted into the tubular portion 13a is deformed with only two ropes 7, and it is difficult to move the tubular portion 13a including the rod-like body 5a in parallel. There are cases. For this reason, in consideration of a case where the amount of snow is large, the number of ropes may be set to four, and the other two ropes may be attached to both end portions 22a and 22b when viewed from the position of the rope 7 shown in FIG.

  The pull bar 9 is a member for removing the cover body 3 so as to wind the cover 40 while wrapping the snow 40, and one end 25 of the two ropes 7 is fastened. When the number of ropes is four, one end of each of the four ropes is tied together. The pull bar 9 only needs to have a strength that does not deform when pulled through the rope 7 so as to crawl the cover body 3 on which the snow 40 has piled, and may be solid or hollow. A pipe can be preferably used in consideration of ease of handling including weight. The pulling rod 9 is preferably about 1 to 1.5 meters long and easy to grip because the human 70 pulls it with both hands.

  Further, both end portions 27a and 27b of the pull rod 9 have a U-shape in plan view. The U-shaped end portions 27a and 27b are applied to the rod-like body 5a inserted into the tubular portion 13a and used to move the rod-like body 5a inserted into the tubular portion 13a. Sponges 29 a and 29 b are attached to both end portions 27 a and 27 b of the pull bar 9 so as to cover the pull bar 9. The sponges 29a and 29b are members for preventing the vehicle body 50 or the window from being damaged when the pulling rod 9 is thrown to the opposite door window side so as to pass over the roof 52. It may be a soft elastic body. Only one end portion 27a (27b) may be used as the U-shape provided at the end portion of the pull bar 9. Further, when the present invention is applied to a vehicle having a low vehicle height, it is easy to move the cylindrical portion 13a in which the rod-shaped body 5a is inserted beyond the roof 52. Therefore, both end portions 27a and 27b of the pull rod 9 are not necessarily required. Alternatively, one end does not need to be U-shaped in a plan view, and the pulling rod 9 can be easily moved. Therefore, the sponges 29a and 29b attached to both end portions 27a and 27b so as to cover the pulling rod 9 may be omitted. .

  The usage method of the said snow removal cover 1 for motor vehicles is demonstrated. The rod-like bodies 5a and 5b are inserted into the cylindrical portion 13 of the cover body 3 in a state where the length of the rod-like bodies 5a and 5b is adjusted to the entire length of the vehicle body, and the rope 7 and the pulling rod 9 are tied together. When the snow cover 1 is put on the vehicle body 50 and set at a predetermined position, which will be described later, the rope 7 adjusts the length so that the pull bar 9 is positioned at the door window 64b portion. The snow cover 1 is covered so that the cover body 3 covers the hood 56, the roof 52, the trunk 58, the front portion 60, the tail portion 62, and the door windows 64a and 64b of the vehicle body 50. At this time, the rod-like body 5a inserted into the cylindrical portion 13a is set so as to be caught by the side door mirror 54a, and the opposite-side rod-like body 5b is hung so that the cover body 3 is stretched. The pull bar 9 is hung over the rod-like body 5b beyond the roof 52. When the vehicle height is high and it is difficult to move the rod-shaped body 5b beyond the roof 52 to the opposite side, the rod-shaped body 5b on the roof 52 can be pushed and moved to the opposite side by the end portions 27a, 27b of the pull rod 9. That's fine. Further, when it is difficult to move the pull bar 9 beyond the roof 52, it is thrown and moved so as to exceed the roof 52. At this time, since the sponges 29a and 29b are attached to both end portions 27a and 27b of the pull rod 9, the vehicle body 50 is not damaged. Alternatively, a separate rope may be attached to the pulling rod 9, and only this rope may be thrown and moved so as to exceed the roof 52. .

  The state in which the snow removal cover 1 is set so as to cover the vehicle body 50 is the state shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and the length of the rod-like bodies 5 a, 5 b is adjusted to the overall length L of the vehicle body so Since the main body 3 hangs down so as to cover the front part 60 and the tail part 62 of the vehicle body, it is possible to easily remove the snow accumulated on this part.

  When removing the snow 40 that has fallen on the vehicle body 50 on which the snow removal cover 1 is set, the rod-like body 5a on the side to be lifted is moved to the upper side of the side rearview mirror 54a, and the pulling rod 9 is moved as shown in FIG. , The cover main body 3 including the rod-like body 5a to which the rope 7 is tied is beaten while wrapping the snow 40, so that the snow 40 can be easily removed. When the snow removal cover 1 is set, the length is adjusted so that the pull bar 9 is positioned on the door window portion 64b of the vehicle body 50. Therefore, even if a large amount of snow falls, the pull bar 9 is completely in the snow 40. It will not be buried. When the cover body 3 is scraped off, if the pull rod 9 is rotated and the rope 7 is wound around the pull rod 9, the cover body 3 can be scraped off on the spot without the person 70 moving.

  In the case of a light vehicle, since the vehicle length is relatively short and the vehicle height is high, the cover main body 3 may be peeled off due to strong wind if the snow cover 1 is set on the vehicle body 50 as described above. For this purpose, the snow removal cover for a light vehicle has a rubber band or a string for fixing the snow removal cover 1 to the vehicle body 50 in addition to the above configuration. By using this rubber band or string, the cover body 3 can be easily fixed so as not to peel off from the vehicle body 50.

  As described with reference to the above embodiment, the snow removal cover for automobiles according to the present invention can easily remove snow falling on the vehicle. Moreover, since the rod-like body is made stretchable, it can be easily used for automobiles having different total lengths L. Furthermore, since the snow removal cover for automobiles according to the present invention can be separated into a cover main body, two rod-like bodies, two or four ropes, and a pull rod, they are sold as a snow removal cover set for automobiles in which each member is separated. You can also. The snow cover for automobiles according to the present invention has a small number of constituent members and is very easy to assemble the separated members, is easy to use, and can be conveniently stored compactly when not in use.
