Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a filler guard for preventing snow accumulation in the wiper storage area of a vehicle such as a passenger car with a cone shield wiper.

[Prior Art] In recent years, passenger cars equipped with cone shield wipers have been adopted in order to improve the driving performance and appearance of the vehicle, and are widely used even in snowy areas. However, during periods of heavy snowfall and severe cold, the vehicle body structure also suffers from the following problems.

That is, as shown in FIG. 8, the rear end of the hood panel 2 of a vehicle such as a passenger car is connected to the windshield 1.
A cone shield wiper vehicle in which a cone shield wiper vehicle is provided facing each other and provided with a gap 4 at a desired interval is publicly known. The interior of the cowl top 6 to which the cone shield wiper 3 is attached and the rear end of the hood panel 2 is wide, and when it snows, if ice and snow accumulates inside this area, the cone shield wiper 3 ( below,
It's simply called Wiper 3. ) no longer works.

At this time, the snow in the area within the rotation radius on the base side of the wiper arm 31 is pushed out by the rotation of the wiper arm 31, but both wiper blades 3
In the space between the front and back for the cone shield directly under the part 2, snowflakes pile up after snow removal, and in the end, the wiper operation has to be stopped and the snowflakes have to be removed by hand. There may be situations where this does not happen.

In addition, in the past, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 48-62734 describes the invention of an automobile wiper device as follows:
This wiper device has a cowl top grill made of a car body or a part separate from the car body in a place where the blade is often wiped down, and is configured so that snow is pushed out of the recess when the blade wipes during snowfall. "but,
It is disclosed with the drawings, and merely shows one conventional technique of burying the cone shield recess with a separate cowl top grille, which does not allow for sufficient snow removal.

[Purpose of the invention] This invention eliminates the conventional drawbacks of the above-mentioned cone shield wiper vehicles as much as possible.
The snowpack that accumulates directly under the wiper can be crushed by the various technical means of this invention and pushed out to other places on the hood panel, and is inexpensive, easy to put on and take off, and has a good appearance after being installed. The objective is to provide a snow filler guard that also looks good on the top.

[Structure of the invention] One of the snow filler guards for vehicles with cone shield wipers of this invention is a substantially H-shaped filler molding that is held across the entire width of the rear end of the vehicle's hood panel, and upper and lower flanges that protrude toward the gap side. In between, a velvety belt made of densely planted nylon brushes with enough length and elasticity to make contact with the windshield side is fitted.

Furthermore, in a modification of this invention, instead of the brush belt, a plurality of mountain-like protrusions are formed in multiple rows on the upper and lower sides between the upper and lower flanges of the filler mold, and the length of the protrusions is short and short between the protrusions. A filler belt with mountain-like protrusions is installed by cutting off a portion of the bristles so that it does not interfere with the wiper arm operating.

[Function] Since the snow filler guard of this invention is configured as disclosed in the summary above, when the windshield is blown during driving, the snow that accumulates directly under the windshield after being wiped away by wipers, etc. When pressed by the downward pressure of the blade against a brush belt such as a nylon brush or a filler belt with elastic mountain projections, anything other than solid snow is repelled and crushed. Then, with the help of the airflow on the hood panel, it is pushed elsewhere and moves to the outside of the vehicle, achieving the original purpose of this invention.

[Embodiment] Figures 1 to 4 show a first embodiment of this invention. First, in Figure 1, the rear end of a hood panel 2 of a vehicle such as a passenger car and the lower side of an inclined windshield 1 The bent ends of a wind molding 5 or the like covering the parts are opposed to each other, and a gap 4 is provided at a desired interval. As shown in the enlarged sectional view of FIG. 4, a substantially H-shaped elongated piece made of synthetic resin such as polypropylene is installed over the entire width of the folded part 11 at the rear end of the hood panel 2 so as to cover this gap 4. It is held in place by firamor 7. Second
The filler molding 7 shown in the figure is surrounded by upper and lower flanges 71 and 72 that protrude toward the cavity 4 side, and is connected to the windshield 1 or the wind molding 5 between the flanges that are integrally molded into a C-shaped channel shape. A brush belt 8 typified by a small bundled brush 82 (see Fig. 3), which is made of straight nylon bristles densely planted on one side of the base plate 81 and has a length of bristles long enough to make contact, is fitted. It becomes. The bristles of this small nylon bundled brush 82 are equipped with sufficient resiliency to remove snow from the blade 32 of the wiper 3, etc.
The above-mentioned straight hair is supported by the tip of the hair, and is crushed at some contact areas.

In addition, by coloring this nylon brush part arbitrarily, it is possible to match the color with the hood panel and create a unique appearance.

Next, FIGS. 5 to 7 show a second embodiment of this invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the approximately H-shaped synthetic resin filamole 7' is
It matches the shape of the folding point 11 at the rear end of the hood panel 2. As shown in the enlarged sectional view of FIG. 7, it is held across the entire width of the portion 11. In the fillamole 7' shown in FIG.
Upper and lower flanges 7 protruding toward the cavity 4 side
3 and 74, and between the integrally molded flanges of the shape, are long enough to come in contact with the windshield 1 or the wind molding 5, and have two upper and lower parts.
A base plate 9 in which several tens of mountain-like projections 91, 91... are formed in rows or more, and short and small mountain-like projections 92, 92... are arranged between the projections 91
It is made by fitting a filler belt 9 made of 3 or the like. These tapered mountain-shaped protrusions 91, 91...the bundle bands at the tips have a necessary and sufficient elasticity against the weight of the compacted snow, and the compacted snow by the blade 32 of the wiper 3, etc. is The mountain-like fasciculata supports it, and in some contact areas, it is crushed.

[Effect of the invention] As explained above, in a car in which the snow filler guard of this invention is attached to the rear end of the hood panel, the aforementioned snowpack is present below the gap between the hood panel and the windshield. It has the effect of not getting too deep. In detail, the snow filler guard at the rear end of this hood panel not only serves as a shield to the brush belt or filler belt itself, but also provides elasticity to each brush belt or filler belt, and usually extends in the form of a flat plate toward the windshield side. When it snows, even when snow accumulates on the windshield, etc., the snow that accumulates just below the wiper wipe can be repelled and crushed, and pushed out to other places on the hood panel. In addition, a type that is divided into fillamole and brush belt or filler belt is inexpensive, easy to attach and detach, and has a good appearance and is useful after being attached.
