DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to relates to a curtain used to <br/> regulatory automotive interior temperature, to the driver and particularly attached to the driver's seat of the truck and a passenger car, the room such that Zukansokunetsu The purpose of the present invention is to easily realize temperature control and thereby ensure comfortable and safe driving.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional air conditioners in a vehicle compartment include:
There is an upper outlet on the inner surface of the lower part of the front panel and windshield, and a foot outlet, and by selecting these outlets,
In the summer, cold air is blown out, and in winter, warm air is blown out. There is a louver at the outlet of the front panel, and the direction of the outlet is changed to equalize the indoor air.

[0003] However, only by such means,
Insufficient room temperature equalization cannot be achieved, the feet become abnormally cold in summer, and the warm air stays near the head in winter and rises. As a result, it is difficult to provide a comfortable indoor environment for driving long-distance trucks or long-distance driving passenger cars that require long hours of driving, sometimes leading to a drowsiness and a situation that may cause a serious accident. It was also.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, these conventional temperature controls in a vehicle cabin are adjusted to a more comfortable driving environment.
In addition, a method and a means for bringing the vehicle in a simple manner have been studied, and the object is to contribute to the prevention of a traffic accident by safe driving.

[0005]

The solution to the above-mentioned problem of the present invention is, in short, to reduce the temperature in the interior of an automobile to head and foot heat.
Therefore, a curtain is installed at a position where the upper air outlet and the lower air outlet of the air conditioner in the automobile compartment are divided into two, and the curtain is installed in the room so that the temperature difference between the upper and lower bodies of the driver or the passenger is positively formed. it characterized in that the stretching spread out.

Here, the curtain may be of any type as long as it can easily shield the upper and lower sides from the driver's and passenger's waist, and its main material is a curtain made of woven or non-woven fabric. The front part of the front panel or the front panel mounting part at the position that divides the foot outlet from the upper part of the upper part of the front panel covers the waist from above the knees of the driver or passenger sitting on the seat and reaches the seat back mounting part. Now, it is assumed that the curtain has a width almost in contact with the inside of the door on both sides of the vehicle . The curtain is ing at least the front panel mounting portion and the detachable device to the seat back mounting portion is mounted.

The upper outlet of the air conditioner is usually a front outlet at the front of the front panel or a window outlet below the inner surface of the front window, and the lower outlet is a foot outlet below the front window or below the front seat. is there. The curtain is preferably a woven fabric or a nonwoven fabric, but a flexible plastic sheet, a woven fabric, a nonwoven fabric, or a sheet obtained by laminating a thin plastic film on paper can also be used.

These curtains have a shape in which the upper outlet and the lower outlet are vertically divided into two parts, and the upper and lower parts are surrounded by the circumference of the driver and the passenger, and the upper and lower parts are divided into two parts. It has a shape. The outer periphery of the curtain and the indoor side surface do not necessarily have to be in close contact with each other. In order to avoid getting in and out of the car as much as possible, a plurality of attachment parts are provided on the front panel and the seat back, etc., and on the curtain, a plurality of attachment / detachment tools for these attachment parts are provided corresponding to the attachment parts. is there. Specific examples of the attachment part and the attachment / detachment tool include a surface fastener made of cloth, a button hook, a hook fitting (including a plastic fitting), a magnet, and the like. When the curtain is not used, all the detachable parts of the curtain can be removed and folded properly and stored in the box, or the curtain can be folded and fixed below the front box with a hook-and-loop fastener etc. deep. Further, a drawer-type roll curtain, which is installed in a window of a house, may be provided below the front panel.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is a room side view showing a state that employs a curtain for use in regulatory of the room temperature of the present invention in a passenger car, and FIG. 2 is a compartment top view. In a general passenger car, an air conditioner 2 is provided inside a front panel 1. A front air outlet 3 for air is provided on a front surface of the front panel 1, a window air outlet 4 is provided on an upper surface thereof, and a wind outlet 4 is provided below. The rear foot outlet 6 of the rear seat is provided with a front foot outlet 5 and a pipe for guiding warm or cold air therefrom, and air conditioning in the room is performed.

[0010] However, there is no movement of a person sitting on the seat inside the automobile, so that the indoor air has a significant temperature difference between the upper part and the lower part. As a result, in winter, the heating is too high in the upper part, the head rises, and the feet cool down. It becomes. Therefore, in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a curtain is mounted at a position that divides the upper air outlet and the lower air outlet of the air conditioner 2 in the automobile compartment into two, and the upper and lower body of the driver or passenger is provided. The curtain was widened and stretched in the room so as to positively form the temperature difference of the curtain. In this case, the interior of the room is vertically divided by the front curtain 7 and the rear curtain 8. The curtains 7 and 8 are made of a polypropylene non-woven fabric laminated with a polyethylene film. The shape of the curtain is as shown in FIG. The rear curtain 8 has three waist 9 around the waist. Even when there are no passengers in the front passenger seat or rear passenger seat, the effect of curtain installation is sufficiently improved, and the difference between the presence and absence of some holes and gaps with the side of the space is so clear that it can be ignored. It is understood.

Therefore, the curtains 7 and 8 may be mounted very roughly. In this case, the front panel mounting portion 12 and the seat back mounting portion 13 are all provided with a hook-and-loop fastener (receptacle) on the back side with an adhesive surface or a sewing surface. On the other hand, it is only necessary to provide a hook-and-loop fastener (hook) on the curtain 7 side at an end of the curtain 7 at a position corresponding to the above-mentioned attachment portion by bonding, sewing or the like. The outer peripheral edge of the curtain without the attachment / detachment is in a free state.

[0012]

According to a curtain used to <br/> regulatory of the room temperature of the present invention having the above structure according to the present invention, effects as will be enumerated to obtain. (1) Since the curtain stretch does not cause an excessive temperature difference to the body, it is healthy, tired, safe to drive, and leads to accident prevention. (2) Cooling / heating efficiency is improved, and thus the air conditioner can be downsized, and the engine is not burdened accordingly. (3) The stretched curtain replaces the table, and tobacco, bento, confectionery, writing utensils, note paper, towels, tissues, PHS, and other items used in the car can be conveniently used. It is very convenient, especially when eating a bento, without these small items falling at the feet. (4) Since complete shielding by a curtain is not required, a simple curtain and its mounting method are sufficient, and the cost is extremely low. In addition, the shape of the curtain may be cut into an appropriate shape according to the purchaser's preference according to the vehicle type, the place to be used, etc.The shift lever etc. may be simply cut or drilled in the curtain, especially no problem. High degree of freedom as a product.
