Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a cab for a cab-over type automobile.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a cab 1 of this type. The cab 1 has a door 3 pivotally attached to a cab body 2, and a fender 4 is disposed below the door. In a cab-over type automobile, the engine (not shown) is disposed below the cab body 2, and therefore the height of the cab floor must be quite high. For this purpose, a step 5 is fixed to the cab body 2, and by opening the door 3 in the direction of arrow A and putting one's foot on the step 5, the user can get on and off the cab. However, in conventional cabs, the aforementioned fender 4 was fixed to the cab body 2, so unless the door was opened wide, the fender would get in the way, making it impossible to place your foot on the step 5 in a stable manner. There was a risk that it would be difficult to get on and off the train. When getting into or out of a cab, it is common for the door to be unable to open wide due to an obstruction next to the door, causing inconvenience to car users.

The object of the present invention is to provide a cab for a cab-over type vehicle that eliminates the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks.

The present invention is characterized in that the fender is not fixed to the cab body as in the conventional case, but is fixed to the door so that the door opens and closes together with the fender.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail in comparison with conventional configuration examples.

2 and 3 are end views of a section cut along the line X-X in FIG. 1, with FIG. 2 showing an example of the configuration according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 showing an example of a conventional configuration, respectively. .

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 6 indicates a floor located on the inside I side of the cab body 2, and the floor 6 consists of a floor panel 6a and a floor side member 6b fixed to the floor panel 6a. 3 is the door I explained earlier,
4 is a fender. Weather strips 7 and 8 are installed around the door 3, thereby
The sealing performance of the interior I is maintained when the door is closed. There is a step 5 on the cab body 2 as shown by the dashed line.
As explained earlier, the is fixed.

The fender 4 according to the present invention is not fixed to the cab body 2, but is removably fixed to the lower part 3a of the door 3, for example, with bolts 9 and nuts 10 as shown in the figure, so that the door 3 and the fender 4 are integrated. are connected.

When the door 3 is closed, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 2, the fender 4 is positioned above the tires (not shown) as in the conventional case, and the fender 4 can perform its original function without any hindrance. When a passenger opens the door 3 to get on or off the cab, the fender 4 also opens together with the door. In this case, consider a case where the door 3 cannot be opened wide due to an obstacle on the outside O side of the vehicle, and the door 3 is opened slightly to the point shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2, for example. At this time, the fender 4 also moves to the position shown by the two-dot chain line (the distance between the door 3 and the cab body 2 at this time is assumed to be D). Therefore, the fender 4 is not located between the cab body 2 and the door 3, and a large space is created here. Therefore, even though the distance D between the door and the cab body is narrow, the passenger can reliably put his or her feet on the step 5 and get on and off the cab in a comfortable posture.

On the other hand, in the conventional configuration shown in FIG. 3, the fender 4 is fixed to the cab body 2, more precisely to the floor 6 thereof, as briefly explained above. Therefore, when the door 3 is opened by the distance D, as in the case shown in FIG. The interval that can be used to multiply d has to be a small range shown by d. For this reason, passengers cannot get on and off the vehicle freely, and if this point is taken into account, the advantages of the configuration shown in FIG. 2 can be clearly understood.

The other configurations in FIG. 3 are the same as in FIG. 2 except that there is only one weather strip 7, and the same parts are given the same reference numerals.

Conventionally, when getting on and off the cab, in order to prevent passengers from hitting their feet on the fender and damaging the fender, a scratching plate was placed on top of the fender 4, as shown by the dashed line in Fig. 3. 11
(See also Figure 1). However, the second
If the fender 4 is constructed so as to be able to rotate together with the door 3 as shown in the figure, the feet of passengers getting on and off the vehicle will hardly hit the fender 4, and therefore the kicking plate 11 can also be omitted, making it possible to reduce the manufacturing cost of the cab.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, two weather strips are provided, but the number and position thereof can be determined as appropriate; for example, just one weather strip may be provided as in FIG. 3. However, if the fender 4 is fixed to the door 3, even when the door is closed,
There is a gap between the fender 4 and the cab body 2 side, and it is possible that rainwater etc. may enter the cab from there. It is desirable to provide a weather strip 7 to seal the gap. From the same point of view, it is also advantageous to attach another weather strip 12 to the fender 4, as shown in FIG. 4, to further improve the sealing between the fender and the cab body.

Incidentally, the fender according to the present invention is not limited to metal, and may be made of synthetic resin or the like.

In the present invention, the fender is removably fixed to the lower part of the door, so that the drawbacks of the conventional method can be easily eliminated. Moreover, since the fender is made removable from the door, the door and fender can be manufactured separately and then fixed together, so that the manufacturing thereof is not more complicated than before.
Furthermore, if the fender becomes damaged, it can be easily removed from the door and replaced with a new fender.
