BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hood structure for a vehicle with a hood, which is formed in the hood and has a window attached to an opening thereof via a slide fastener.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A vehicle having a loading platform such as a truck is known in which a hood is provided on the loading platform so that luggage loaded on the loading platform is not affected by wind and rain. In such a vehicle with a hood, a window is provided in the hood to secure the lighting performance. This window is made of flexible transparent resin such as vinyl chloride in consideration of the handling of the hood when it is stored, and this window is integrated with the hood by sewing the peripheral edge to the opening formed in the hood. It is common to install. However, if the window is sewn and attached to the hood in this way, the window itself cannot be removed from the hood. For example, when working inside the hood, the feeling of opening is lost and the hood is removed. When the vehicle is detached and used, there is a problem that the amount of cloth when the hood is folded increases and it becomes difficult to store the cloth that forms the hood.

In order to solve these problems, conventionally, an opening is formed in a hood, a slide fastener is attached to the inside of the hood around the opening, and a window is attached to the hood by a slide fastener. It has been known. By attaching the window to the inside of the hood via the slide fasteners in this way, it is possible to obtain a sense of openness by removing the window from the hood as needed when working inside the hood. There is an advantage that the amount of cloth when the hood is folded can be reduced and the storage can be facilitated by removing the cloth.

[0004]

However, in the hood structure in which the window is mounted via the above-mentioned slide fastener, the window overlaps the window and the hood at the periphery of the opening covering the window, especially in the gap in the lower part of the window. There is a problem that rainwater adhering to the inside of the hood will enter the gap when it falls down along the window and cross the slide fastener to the inside of the hood. in this case,
It is conceivable to attach the window to the outside of the hood around the opening, or to arrange the lower edge of the window on the outside of the hood and attach the edges other than the lower edge of the window to the inside of the hood. However, attaching the window to the outside of the hood cannot prevent rainwater from entering through the gap between the hood and the top of the window. Also, when only the lower edge of the window is placed outside the hood, rainwater that has descended along the window can be discharged to the outside of the hood, but the window is placed from the inside of the hood to the outside of the hood. There is a problem that the gap between the side edge of the window and the opening in the portion to be transferred cannot be effectively closed. Also, when the window is attached to the hood using a plurality of slide fasteners, in order to prevent wind and rain from entering through the gap between the one slide fastener and the other slide fasteners,
It is also necessary to make the gap as small as possible. An object of the present invention is to provide a hood structure for a vehicle with a hood that can effectively prevent rainwater and wind from entering.
