Abstract

PURPOSE:To surely remove the mud, etc., piled on the upper surface of a connection part in simple manners by arranging a nozzle for jetting washing water, penetrating through the part from the under-surface to the upper surface of the connection part between an installation basic part and a splashing protecting part, onto the connection part. CONSTITUTION:A mud guard is constituted of an installation basic part 1 fixed onto a car body panel 9, splashing suppressing part 2 which is installed behind a tire, and a connection part 3 for connecting the both parts 1 and 2. In this case, a hole 5 which penetrates through the upper surface of the connection part 3 and the undersurface 4 set close to the tire is formed in the connection part 3, and a nozzle 6 is fitted into the hole 5 so that top edge part is projected upward. A plurality of injection holes 7 are formed at the top edge part of the nozzle 6, and one edge part of a hose 8 the other edge of which is connected with a pump device 1 for supplying washing water is connected at the basic edge part. Therefore, washing water is jetted from the nozzle 6, and the mud, etc., which are piled on the upper surface of the connection part 3 can be surely removed in simple manners.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to a mudguard for an automobile.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Generally, mudguards have a structure as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

This mudguard 100 includes a mounting base 1 fixed to a vehicle body panel, a splash prevention part 2 facing the rear of the tire, and a connecting part 3 connecting the mounting base 1 and splash prevention part 2 in a plane substantially perpendicular to these two members. are provided. Note that arrow F in the figure indicates the front of the vehicle body.

Incidentally, this similar structure is disclosed in, for example, Utility Model Application Publication No. 61-101074.
No. 61-104281 and the like.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the case of the above-mentioned mudguard, the upper surface side of the connecting part 3 is in a complicated position toward the inside of the car body and has poor drainage, so it is difficult to remove dust, mud, etc. accumulated in this part when washing the car body. There is the problem of not being able to wash it off.When accumulated dust and dirt contain moisture, the moisture evaporates slowly and is likely to cause rust, so from this point of view as well, it is difficult to remove accumulated dust and dirt from the upper surface of the connection part. It is desired to devise a means to remove mud, etc.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a mudguard for an automobile that can easily remove dust, mud, etc. accumulated on the upper surface side of a connecting portion.

Means for Solving the Problems As a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a mounting base fixed to a vehicle body panel, a splash avoidance part facing the rear of the tire, and a connection between the mounting base and the splash avoidance part. In the mudguard, the connecting portion includes:
A nozzle for jetting a cleaning fluid is disposed in a penetrating manner from the lower surface to the upper surface.

Effect By taking such measures, the hose for supplying cleaning fluid is connected to the nozzle from the bottom of the connection, and the cleaning fluid is sprayed from the tip of the nozzle to remove dust and mud that has accumulated on the top of the connection. etc. can be removed.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 3. Incidentally, the same parts as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and some explanations of the overlapping parts are omitted.

In FIGS. 1 to 3, the mudguard according to the present invention is
The basic structure, such as the point that the mounting base l and the splash-prevention part 2 are connected by the connecting part 3, is almost the same as that shown in Fig. 4-5, but only the structure of the connecting part 3 is significantly different. . A through hole 5 is formed in the connecting portion 3, passing through the upper surface and the lower surface 4 on the side facing the tire (not shown). A nozzle 6 for ejecting fluid is fitted. The nozzle 6 and the through hole 5 are fixed with an appropriate adhesive or the like, and the nozzle 6
A plurality of injection holes 7 are formed on the end face and outer circumferential surface of the distal end portion. A hose 8 for supplying cleaning fluid can be connected to the base end of the nozzle 6 protruding toward the lower surface of the connecting portion 3. In the figure, numeral 9 indicates a vehicle body panel, and numeral 10 indicates a pump device for supplying washing water.

In the above configuration, when cleaning is performed, the hose 8 connected to the water supply or the pump device IO is connected to the base end of the nozzle 6, and water or the like is sprayed from the injection hole 7 at the tip of the nozzle 6. injection fluid. As a result, dust and dirt that have accumulated on the upper surface of the connecting portion 3 or that have entered between the mounting base 1 and the connecting portion 3 are washed away by the cleaning fluid injected from the injection hole 7. As a result, dust and dirt accumulated on the upper surface side of the connecting portion 3 can be reliably removed without any special effort.

In the above, an example has been described in which the pump device 10 for supplying water or cleaning water is connected to the base end of the nozzle 6. However, instead of connecting the pump device 10 for supplying water or cleaning water, the near compressor 11 It is also possible to connect When the near compressor 11 is connected in this manner, not only the upper surface side of the connecting portion 3 can be cleaned but also the upper surface side can be dried at the same time. Therefore, by doing this, there is no stagnation of moisture on the upper surface side of the connecting portion 3, and the occurrence of rust on the vehicle body panel 9 can be more reliably prevented.

According to the invention, dust, mud, etc. accumulated on the upper surface of the connection part can be removed simply by connecting a hose for supplying cleaning fluid to a nozzle and spraying cleaning fluid from the tip of the nozzle. can be easily and reliably removed. Furthermore, since dust and mud that impede moisture evaporation can be removed from the upper surface of the connecting portion, rust can also be prevented.
