Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a catch structure for a collapsible windshield frame in an open body vehicle, and more particularly to a catch structure on the lower side of a rectangular windshield frame.

In the open body vehicle shown in Figure 1,
A collapsible windshield frame 1 is attached to the body via a hinge so that it can be tilted forward.
Usually, the upper side is held by left and right top boards 2, and the lower side is held by an instrument panel 3 (hereinafter simply referred to as an instrument panel). As conventional catch structures for the lower side, for example, the types shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, or the type shown in FIG. 9 are known.

The former has brackets 1 on each of the windshield frame 1 and the instrument panel 3 as the body side.
2 and 13 are installed facing each other, and with the collar 14 interposed between the two brackets 12 and 13, the two brackets 12 and 1 are connected with the bolt 15 with handle.
3, and the latter has an L-shaped plate 16 attached to the windshield frame 1 and instrument panel 3.
The structure is such that the bolts are fastened with an appropriate number of bolts 17. Therefore, both are in bracket 1.
2, 13 or the L-shaped plate 16 protruding from the surface, the appearance is very bad, and there is an offset amount, so the strength is inferior, and it is difficult to use separate parts of the bracket or L-shaped plate. The drawback was that it was expensive.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a catch structure for a foldable windshield frame in an open body vehicle, which is improved so as to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional problems.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an open body vehicle in which a rectangular windshield frame is attached to the body side so that it can be tilted forward, and the windshield frame is attached to an inner panel. and an outer panel, and a collar is embedded vertically in the hollow part of the flat part formed at the lower corner of the windshield frame, and a flat part corresponding to the flat part is provided on the body side. A projecting portion having a through hole is provided, and the windshield frame is held on the body side by tightening a bolt inserted through the collar and the through hole with a nut while the flat portion is superimposed on the projecting portion. This is what was done.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. The windshield frame 1, which is attached to the body side via a hinge (not shown) so as to be tiltable forward, is formed into a rectangular frame shape as a whole, and is shown in FIG. 2 as a detailed view of section A in FIG. 1. As such, the inner panel 1a and the outer panel 1b form a hollow cross section. Thus, flat portions 4 of appropriate widths are formed at both left and right corners (only the right side is shown in the figure) of the lower part of the inner panel 1a of the windshield frame 1, and the hollow portions of the flat portions 4 are filled with the inner panel 1a as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, a collar 5 is fitted and fixed by welding.

That is, a collar 5 is embedded in the flat portion 4 formed at both left and right corners of the windshield frame 1, and correspondingly, the collar 5 is embedded in a pillar 6 on the body side that supports the windshield frame 1. A projecting portion 8 having a through hole 7 for bolt insertion is formed at a location opposite to the projecting portion 5 . Then, in the windshield frame 1, a bolt 10 with a handle 9 is inserted into the collar 5 of the flat part 4 and the through hole 7 of the pillar 6, and
It is fixed to the body side by tightening a nut 11 fixed to the back side of the through hole 7.

In the above embodiment, the flat part 4 for attachment at the bottom of the windshield frame 1 was formed directly on the inner panel 1a itself.
As shown in the figure, the flat part 4 with the collar 5 may be molded separately and then fixed to the windshield frame 1 by welding to form an integral structure.

As mentioned above, the present invention has a structure in which the lower corner of the foldable windshield frame of an open body vehicle is fixed by directly tightening bolts to the body side, so it can be fixed instead of using conventional brackets, L-shaped plates, etc. Compared to the method of fixing using separate members, the amount of offset is eliminated and the strength is improved, and the appearance of the windshield frame is improved not only when it is erected but also when it is tilted.Moreover, the number of parts is reduced, resulting in lower costs. It has various advantages, such as being able to lower the load.
