DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
(First embodiment)
1 and 2 show the configuration of a first embodiment of a vehicle defrosting and snowing apparatus according to the present invention.
The frost and snow device for a vehicle according to the present invention is provided with a protective sheet 10 so as to cover an installation object such as a windshield, and performs frost and snow protection. The vehicle anti-frost / snow device of this embodiment arrange | positions the support bar 20 on the windshield 5, arrange | positions the protection sheet 10 so that this support bar 20 and the windshield 5 may be covered, and from the surface of the windshield 5. The protective sheet 10 is mounted so as to float slightly (separate).

  FIG. 1 shows a state in which the support bar 20 is attached to the windshield 5 of the automobile, and FIG. 2 shows a state in which the protective sheet 10 is attached so as to cover the entire surface of the support bar 20 and the windshield 5. As shown in FIG. 1, the support bar 20 is arranged so as to cross in the short direction (width direction) of the windshield 5. One support bar 20 is arranged at each of the left and right positions of the windshield 5. The support bar 20 has a function of slightly lifting the protective sheet 10 from the front glass 5 and a function of supporting the protective sheet 10 so as to be swingable. One piece may be arranged at the center position of the glass 5 and at its left and right positions.

In FIG. 3, the structure of the inner surface side of the support bar 20 and the structure of the attachment tool used when attaching the support bar 20 to a vehicle body are shown.
The support bar 20 is formed as an angled bar-shaped body having an L-shaped end surface, and in this embodiment, the base material of the support bar 20 is urethane rubber having flexibility. Since the support bar 20 is used in direct contact with the outer surface of the vehicle such as a windshield, the support bar 20 is made of a material that does not damage the surface of the glass or the surface of the vehicle body, and can be mounted following the curved surface of the installation target surface such as the windshield. A material made of a material having flexibility can be preferably used, and a material that can be easily removed from the glass without being frozen on the glass is preferably used.

  A support protrusion 26 having an L-shaped end surface is fixed to the inner surface of the support bar 20 so that the protrusion end protrudes away from the inner surface of the support bar 20. In the present embodiment, one support protrusion 26 is fixed to the center portion of the support bar 20 in the longitudinal direction. In addition to the central portion of the support bar 20, support protrusions 26 may be provided in the vicinity of both ends in the longitudinal direction.

  FIG. 4 is an enlarged view showing a state in which the support protrusion 26 is attached to the support bar 20. The support protrusions 26 are fixed to both inner side surfaces of the support bar 20 by screwing ends. Since the end face shape of the support protrusion 26 is L-shaped, the support protrusion 26 is fixed to the inner side surface of the support bar 20, thereby forming an insertion hole A having an end face shape of the support bar 20 and the support protrusion 26. .

  The support protrusion 26 includes a support fitting 24 having an L-shaped end surface shape, and a protective rubber 25 as a protector attached to the outer surface of the L-shaped portion of the support fitting 24. The protective rubber 25 is provided to prevent the support fitting 24 from coming into direct contact with the glass surface and damaging the glass surface when the support bar 20 is mounted on a windshield or the like. Of course, a protective material other than the protective rubber 25 can be used.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the support protrusions 26 are formed such that the protrusion ends are in a positional relationship in which the protrusion ends protrude from both side edge positions of the support bar 20. In other words, in FIG. 4, assuming that the edge position of both side edges of the support bar 20 is the B position, the protrusion end (C position) of the support protrusion 26 protrudes from the B position with the support protrusion 26 attached to the support bar 20. Set to be the position.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the support string 22 is attached over almost the entire length of the support bar 20 along the inner surface of the support bar 20. At the position where the support protrusion 26 is attached, the support string 22 is disposed so as to pass through the inside of the support protrusion 26 (insertion hole A). The elastic string 23 is connected to both ends of the support string 22, and the length of the elastic string 23 is set so that the ends of the elastic string 23 extend from the both ends of the support bar 20 by about 10 to 15 cm. A locking portion 23 a that is locked to the magnet attracting body 30 is provided at the end of the elastic string 23. The locking part 23a can be formed by attaching a circular locking ring to the elastic string 23, for example.

The magnet attracting body 30 includes a main body on which a magnet is mounted and a hook portion connected to the main body.
When the support bar 20 is mounted on the windshield of an automobile, the magnet adsorber 30 is adsorbed and supported on the outer surface of the vehicle body in correspondence with the position where the windshield is traversed in the short direction, and the support bar is attached to each magnet adsorber 30. What is necessary is just to latch the latching | locking part 23a of the elastic string 23 extended from the both ends of 20. FIG. The elastic cord 23 is locked to the magnet attracting body 30 so as to be pulled outward (extension side). Accordingly, the support bar 20 is supported by the elastic cord 23 and the support cord 22 so as to follow the outer surface of the windshield 5.

FIG. 1 shows a state where one support bar 20 is attached to each of the left and right sides of the windshield 5. The support bar 20 is attached with the inner surface of the support bar 20, that is, the side where the support protrusions 26 are provided facing the surface of the windshield 5. Thereby, a chevron of the outer surface of the support bar 20 appears on the windshield 5.
FIG. 2 shows a state in which the protective sheet 10 is attached so as to cover the outer surface of the support bar 20. A magnet 12 is attached to the edge of the protective sheet 10, and the magnet 12 is attached to the vehicle body while being attached in the longitudinal direction. You may make it attach the latching band which consists of an elastic cord which hooks on the door mirror at the edge part of the protection sheet 10, and latches.

  The protective sheet 10 used in the present embodiment has an action of sliding off the snow accumulated on the sheet and an action of freezing the glass. As such a protective sheet, a high-density fabric having water repellency and sustained water resistance is preferably used. In this embodiment, a high-density fabric (trade name: Twin Barrier (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-192946)) that is also used for umbrellas and the like is used.

FIG. 5 shows a state in which the support bar 20 is installed on the windshield 5 and the protective sheet 10 is mounted so as to cover the support bar 20 and the windshield 5. As described above, the support bar 20 can be easily attached by locking the elastic string 23 to the magnet attracting body 30, and the protective sheet 10 may be provided so as to cover the support bar 20 and the windshield 5. The installation operation is simple.
As described above, when the protective sheet 10 is installed so as to cover the support bar 20, the protective sheet 10 is supported so as to be stretched between the support bars 20, and the windshield 5 and the protective sheet 10 are separated. A space of about 5 cm is formed between them. The space formed between the windshield 5 and the protective sheet 10 functions to swing the support bar 20 and swing the protective sheet 10 together with the support bar 20. In addition, the protective sheet 10 also prevents the surface of the windshield 5 from freezing.

Since the support bar 20 is installed with the support protrusions 26 in contact with the windshield 5, the support bar 20 swings left and right with the protrusion end of the support protrusion 26 as a fulcrum. The reason why the protrusion end of the support protrusion 26 protrudes from the side edge of the support bar 20 is to make the support bar 20 easily swing left and right with the protrusion end as a fulcrum.
FIG. 5A illustrates a state in which the support bar 20 stands upright on the windshield 5, and FIG. 5B illustrates a state in which the support bar 20 swings and tilts from the upright position. . When one support protrusion 26 is provided at the center of the support bar 20 in the longitudinal direction, the support bar 20 is easily deformed and is likely to swing. When the support protrusions 26 are provided at three positions in the longitudinal direction of the support bar 20, the swinging action is mainly performed.

As described above, when the protective sheet 10 is supported by being separated from the windshield 5 while being supported by the support bar 20, the protective sheet 10 swings due to the influence of the wind, and the protective sheet 10 is likely to vibrate. . The action caused by the vibration of the protective sheet 10 acts so as to slide down the snow accumulated on the protective sheet 10 and prevent the snow from accumulating on the protective sheet 10.
In the present embodiment, the protective sheet 10 is swung by the wind and easily vibrates, so that it is difficult for snow to adhere to the protective sheet 10 and snow does not accumulate on the protective sheet 10.

Since snow does not accumulate on the protective sheet 10 covering the windshield 5, when starting the automobile, such as at the start of the morning, the automobile can be started simply by removing the protective sheet 10. The support bar 20 can be easily removed by removing the elastic cord 23 from the magnet attracting body 30 after removing the protective sheet 10.
Moreover, since the windshield 5 is covered with the protection sheet 10, it can also prevent that frost and ice adhere to the windshield 5, and it can be used as an effective frost-proof snow device.

FIG. 7A shows a state where the hook-and-loop fastener 50 that supports the support bar 40 is attached to the inner surface of the protective sheet 10. The surface fastener 50 is sewn so as to be long in the width direction (short direction) of the protective sheet 10. In the present embodiment, the hook-and-loop fastener 50 is sewn one by one at the center position in the longitudinal direction of the protective sheet 10 and at its left and right positions. The support bar 40 is attached with the width direction of the protective sheet 10 as the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the hook-and-loop fastener 50 is provided so as to extend in the width direction of the protective sheet 10 with a predetermined width, approximately the same length as the entire length of the support bar 40.

The support bar 40 is formed in a cylindrical shape so that the cylindrical body 42 is covered in a bag shape using the same sheet material 44 as the sheet material used for the protective sheet 10. Specifically, the support bar 40 is formed by forming a slender bag using a water-repellent high-density fabric constituting the protective sheet 10 and inserting a paper cylinder into the bag. . The diameter of the cylindrical body 42 is about 5 cm.
A hook-and-loop fastener (not shown) that engages with the hook-and-loop fastener 50 that is sewn to the protective sheet 10 is sewn on the sheet material 44 that covers the cylindrical body 42. A hook-and-loop fastener having a predetermined width is attached to the support bar 40 over substantially the entire length in the longitudinal direction.

FIG. 7A illustrates a state in which the support bar 40 is attached so as to be aligned with the hook-and-loop fastener 50 attached to the protective sheet 10. The support bar 40 is easily attached to the protective sheet 10 by aligning and pressing the hook-and-loop fastener attached to the support bar 40 with the hook-and-loop fastener attached to the protective sheet 10.
FIG. 7B shows a state where the support bar 40 is attached to the protective sheet 10. The support bars 40 are attached to the three hook-and-loop fasteners 50 formed on the protective sheet 10.

  By attaching the support bar 40 to the protective sheet 10, the support bar 40 is supported integrally with the protective sheet 10 so as to cross the protective sheet 10 in the width direction. In the present embodiment, one end portion 40a of the support bar 40 is cut obliquely, and one end portion of the support bar 40 is inclined. When the protective sheet 10 is mounted on the windshield of an automobile, the diagonally cut side of the support bar 40 is attached as the upper side. As a result, the protective sheet 10 is mounted along the windshield from the roof of the automobile.

  As in the first embodiment, a magnet 12 that magnetically attracts the protective sheet 10 to the vehicle body is provided on the peripheral edge of the protective sheet 10. Further, an elastic string 60 made of an elastic body such as rubber is attached to the peripheral portion of the protective sheet 10. The elastic string 60 is provided with a hook 62 for locking the elastic string 60 to a magnet attracting body 30 detachably attached to the vehicle body.

  FIG. 6 shows a state in which the protective sheet 10 to which the support bar 40 is attached is attached to the windshield 5 of the automobile. As described above, the support bar 40 is disposed so as to cover the windshield 5 with the protective sheet 10 on the inner side, that is, the side in contact with the windshield 5. The periphery of the protective sheet 10 is attracted to the vehicle body by the magnet 12, and the hook 62 of the elastic string 60 is locked to the magnet adsorbing body 30 that is attracted and supported by the vehicle body so as to pull the elastic string 60. As a result, the protective sheet 10 is stretched, that is, slightly separated from the surface of the windshield 5.

FIG. 8 illustrates a state where the protective sheet 10 to which the support bar 40 is attached is mounted so as to cover the windshield 5. It shows that the support bar 40 is attached to the protective sheet 10 with the hook-and-loop fasteners 50 and 51, and that the protective sheet 10 is supported by being separated from the windshield 5 by the support bar 40.
Since the front surface of the windshield 5 is shielded by the protective sheet 10, it is possible to prevent frost and snow from adhering to the windshield 5. It effectively prevents snow from accumulating on the protective sheet 10 due to the vibration of 10. Although it depends on the inclination angle of the windshield 5, the protective sheet 10 used in the present embodiment has extremely high water repellency. Therefore, if the inclination angle of the windshield 5 is about 30 degrees or more, the protective sheet 10 is placed on the protective sheet 10. There is almost no snow.

  Further, since the protective sheet 10 is in a state of being separated from the windshield 5, the protective sheet 10 can be prevented from freezing on the surface of the windshield 5, and the operation of removing the protective sheet 10 can be easily performed. Although the support bar 40 is in contact with the windshield 5, the support bar 40 is formed by covering the cylindrical body with a sheet material having the same water repellency as the protective sheet 10. 5 can be prevented from icing, and the support bar 40 can be removed together with the protective sheet 10 by removing the protective sheet 10.
