Description

The present invention relates to a cover unit that is attached to the lights of a parked vehicle.

Currently, vehicle lights such as headlights and taillights are made of plastic resin material (polycarbonate), so it is known that they yellow (discolor) under the influence of ultraviolet rays and heat. Therefore, techniques have been proposed to prevent such yellowing (discoloration).

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an automobile headlight cover and a taillight cover that use a cover shaped to cover automobile headlights or taillights to prevent deterioration (sunburn) of automobile headlights, etc. is listed.

Additionally, Patent Document 2 describes a discoloration prevention sheet that can be attached to and removed from a headlight cover of a vehicle during parking in order to prevent discoloration of the headlight cover of a vehicle due to sunlight. This headlight cover discoloration prevention sheet 1 has approximately the same shape as the headlight cover and has light-shielding properties, and furthermore, the back side 1b of the sheet is provided with suction cups 2 or weak spots at necessary locations as a means for pasting onto the headlight cover surface. Adhesive adhesive glue 3 is used (see Figure 3).

However, headlight covers to prevent vehicle lights from yellowing are often required when the user commutes by car or lives in an area without public transportation. Since they will be used every day, there is a need for something that is more convenient, such as being able to be easily attached and detached and not easily damaging the lights.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a more convenient cover unit that can be attached to the lights of a parked vehicle.

The cover unit of the present invention is to be attached to the lights of a parked vehicle, and is a cover member that has an uneven part and a curved part, and whose three-dimensional shape is approximately the same as the shape of the light to which it is attached. , and an adhering member for adhering the cover member to the lamp.

As a result, the cover member is pasted by the pasting member so as to perfectly fit the shape (three-dimensional shape) of the vehicle's lights, including uneven parts, curved parts, and the like.

Further, it is preferable that the adhesive member is a suction cup, and that the cover member is provided with a through hole to which the suction cup is attached. Note that the suction cup used as the adhesive member desirably has a ring portion through which a string-like member, one end of which is tied to a part of the vehicle, passes.
As a result, a portion of the suction cup is fixed (supported) in the through hole of the cover member, and the ring portion of the suction cup and a portion of the vehicle are tied together by the string-like member.

Alternatively, the adhesive member is preferably an adhesive member provided on the entire back surface of the cover member.
An adhesive member (eg, an adhesive gel pad) allows the cover member to be tightly affixed to the vehicle light fixture.

Furthermore, it is desirable that the cover unit has a transparent film that can be directly attached to the lamps.
As a result, the cover member is pasted by the adhesive member onto the transparent film that is directly pasted onto the lamps.

(1-1) In the cover unit of the present invention, the cover member is attached using an adhesive member so that it perfectly fits the shape (three-dimensional shape) of the vehicle's lights, including uneven parts and curved parts. Therefore, the user can attach the cover member to the light without shifting.
(1-2) In addition, since the shape of the cover member is approximately the same as the shape of the light to which it is attached, the user cannot decide where to place it (for example, whether it is a headlight or a taillight). Or is it something else?) You won't have to worry about whether to wear it.
(1-3) Since the shape of the cover member is approximately the same as the shape of the light to which it is attached, it will not protrude into areas other than the light and may accidentally damage parts other than the light. Not at all.

(2) The adhesive member is a suction cup, and the cover member is provided with a through hole to which the suction cup is attached, and the suction cup is a ring through which a string-like member whose one end is tied to a part of the vehicle passes. By having a structure with a part, a part of the suction cup is fixed (supported) in the through hole of the cover member, and since the ring part of the suction cup and a part of the vehicle are connected by a string-like member, in case the cover Even if a component falls, it will not be lost.
(3) Alternatively, by using an adhesive member provided on the entire back surface of the cover member as the adhesive member, the user can easily and tightly apply the cover member to the vehicle's lights. can. In addition, it can be easily removed.

(4) Furthermore, since the cover unit has a structure that includes a transparent film that is attached directly to the lights, the cover member is attached by an adhesive member to the transparent film that is attached directly to the lights, so that the cover unit can be attached easily. This further prevents the lights from being damaged during installation or removal.

It is a figure showing an example of a cover member concerning an embodiment of the present invention. It is a figure showing an example of a cover member concerning an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of an adhesive member according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below, but the explanation of the constituent elements described below is an example (representative example) of the embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention will be described below unless the gist is changed. is not limited to the content.

[Cover unit]
1 and 2 are an example of a cover member according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is an example of an adhesive member according to an embodiment of the present invention. The cover unit of the present invention includes a cover member 10 and an adhesive member 20 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, and a transparent film (not shown).

The premise is that the cover unit of the present invention is attached to the lights of a parked vehicle. Vehicle lights include headlights, fog lights, tail lights, brake lights, and the like. Of course, it is not limited to the examples shown here, as long as it is installed in a vehicle and lights up (lights, lamps). Furthermore, the vehicle to which the cover unit is attached is not limited by the type of vehicle.

[Cover member]
The cover member 10 is attached to (covers) the lights of a vehicle to protect the lights from ultraviolet rays. The cover member 10 according to this embodiment is exemplified to be attached to a headlight (see FIGS. 1 and 2).
The cover member 10 has an uneven portion (see the dotted line frame shown in FIGS. 1 and 2) and a curved portion (see the broken line arrow shown in FIGS. 1 and 2), and its three-dimensional shape is similar to that of the light to which it is attached. It is approximately the same shape (including isomorphism) as the similar shape. In this embodiment, the cover member 10 is formed to have the same shape as the headlight to which it is attached.

The size and shape of the lights differ depending on the vehicle type, and the cover member 10 is made to match (approximately the same shape) the size and shape of the lights for each vehicle type. For example, since the size and shape of a single headlight vary depending on the type of vehicle, the cover member 10 is made to match the size and shape of the lights (headlights) for each type of vehicle.

Further, the material of the cover member 10 is not particularly limited as long as it can block ultraviolet rays and prevent the vehicle lights from yellowing due to the influence of ultraviolet rays and heat. At the same time, as mentioned above, the material of the cover member 10 is particularly limited as long as it can be formed with uneven parts, curved parts, etc., and can be formed into approximately the same shape as the light to be attached. Not done.

For example, the cover member 10 is made based on the scan data obtained by 3D scanning certain lights (for example, headlights) of a certain car model to which the cover member 10 is to be attached. In addition, in this case, it can be integrally molded using a mold, or it can be made using a 3D printer using resin as a material to form it into approximately the same shape as the light to be attached. In addition, after forming, a part or all of the surface may be coated with an ultraviolet protection coating or colored.

[Adhesive member]
On the other hand, the sticking member 20 according to this embodiment is illustrated as a suction cup (see FIG. 3). Therefore, in the following description, the adhesive member will be described as a suction cup.

As shown in FIG. 3, the suction cup 20 can be colorless and transparent or colored. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the suction cup 20 has a constricted portion 21 and a ring portion 22 through which a string-like member whose one end is tied to a part of the vehicle passes. Note that the ring portion is provided on the top of the suction cup 20, that is, on the side opposite to the surface of the suction cup 20 that sticks to the lamp.

Here, the cover member 10 is provided with a through hole 11 to which the suction cup 20 is attached (see FIGS. 1 and 2). Specifically, the suction cup 20 is attached to the cover member 10 by being fitted into the through hole 11 so that the constricted portion 21 of the suction cup 20 is positioned.
In this embodiment, two through holes 11 are provided, but the number of through holes 11 and the positions at which they are provided can be changed as appropriate.

Note that this adhesive member can also be an adhesive member provided on the entire back surface of the cover member 10 (the surface located on the side of the lamp to be attached). The adhesive member is, for example, an adhesive gel pad, gel sheet, adhesive gel, or the like. By providing the adhesive member on the entire back surface of the cover member 10, the user can match the shape of the cover member 10 and the shape of the lights of the vehicle to which it is attached, and fit the cover member 10 exactly to the lights of the vehicle. and can be easily pasted.
In addition, the user can also easily remove the cover member 10 stuck to the vehicle's lights with the adhesive member.

Additionally, by using a gel pad that can be washed with water as the adhesive member, even if there is minute dust or dirt on it when it is attached or removed, it can be washed away. In particular, by using a gel pad that regains its adhesive strength when washed with water, users can continue using the cover unit for a long time (improving cost performance).
In addition, gel pads are elastically deformable and can be processed into any shape, so they have uneven parts and curved parts, and their three-dimensional shape is almost the same as the shape of the lamps they are attached to. It can also be provided on the entire back surface of the cover member 10 which has a similar shape.

In this way, by adopting a configuration in which a suction cup is used as the adhesive member and a configuration in which an adhesive member is used as the adhesive member, users can freely choose the cover unit to purchase according to their preferences and needs. can.

[Example of use]
Next, an example of use of the cover unit of the present invention will be explained.
The cover member 10 according to this embodiment is attached to a headlight of a vehicle. In addition, in this embodiment, since two through holes 11 are provided in the cover member 10, a suction cup 20 is attached to each through hole 11, and the two suction cups 20 allow the cover member 10 to cover the entire headlight. It can be pasted tightly to cover it.

In this way, since the cover member 10 is formed to have the same shape (so-called just size) as the lamp to which it is attached, including the uneven and curved parts, the user can attach the cover member 10 to the lamp without shifting. can be pasted on.

Here, if the size is not just right, it may be misaligned when the user pastes it, or in this embodiment, it is pasted with two suction cups, but there are more suction cups than this and fixed in various positions. There is a possibility that it will be necessary to provide a means for pasting.

Furthermore, the size and shape of vehicle lights not only vary depending on the vehicle model, but also vary depending on location (headlights, fog lights, tail lights, brake lights, etc.). However, since the cover member 10 of the cover unit of the present invention is formed in the same shape as the lamp to be attached, it is possible to understand at a glance where to attach it. In addition, because users inevitably use the cover unit regularly, even if they do not know where to attach it at first, after using it a few times, they will naturally figure out where to attach it. become able to.

Furthermore, since the cover member 10 is formed to have the same shape (just the right size) as the lamps to which it is attached, it will not protrude into areas other than the lamps to which it is attached, and it will not accidentally spill onto parts other than the lamps (for example, in a vehicle). body, mirrors, wheels, etc.).

[String member]
Furthermore, since the suction cup 20 has a ring part 22, one end of a string-like member (for example, a thread) can be tied to the ring part 22, and the other end can be tied to a part of the vehicle (for example, a hole in the hood). You can hang it or hang it. Of course, a thread may be passed through the ring portion 22 and both ends of the string-like member may be tied to a part of the vehicle.
By doing this, a part of the vehicle, the cover member 10 and the suction cup 20 are connected by the thread, so even if the cover member 20 falls during use (parking), it will not be lost. There's nothing to do.

Note that the string-like member may be rubber or string in addition to thread. Of course, such a string member may not be used. In that case, since the ring portion 22 can also be used as a hole for passing a finger, the user can easily remove the cover member 10 from the lamp by passing his or her finger through the ring portion 22.

[Transparent film]
Furthermore, the cover unit of the present invention can be configured to include a transparent film that can be directly attached to lights. In this case, the user first attaches the transparent film directly to the light, and then attaches the cover member 10 thereon using the suction cup 20.

Then, since the transparent film directly protects the lamps, there is no fear that fine dust or dirt will be caught between the suction cups 20 when the cover member 10 is attached using the suction cups 20. Therefore, it is possible to further prevent the lights from being damaged when the cover member 10 is attached or detached.

Since the cover unit described above is merely one embodiment of the cover unit of the present invention, the design of the cover unit of the present invention can be modified as appropriate as long as the gist thereof is not changed. For example, in the cover unit of this embodiment, the adhesive member is a suction cup, but even if the adhesive member is an adhesive member (gel pad, gel sheet, adhesive gel, etc.), the same effect can be achieved.

In addition, on the surface of the cover member 10 (the surface located opposite to the lights to which it is attached), there is written information such as the vehicle model name and which lights (for example, headlights, fog lights) it is attached to. It may be printed.
Note that, on the premise that the cover member 10 will fit snugly to the lamp to be attached, a projection may be provided on a part of the surface of the cover member 10 to make it easier for the user to hold it.

The present invention is industrially useful because it can be installed as a more convenient cover unit on any lights (headlights, fog lights, tail lights, brake lights, etc.) of various car models.
