Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a side mudguard provided at the lower edge of a side body of a vehicle.

[Prior Art] FIG. 3 shows a side view of the rear half of a van-type vehicle.
In the figure, a side mud guard 1 is provided along the lower edge of a side body B of the vehicle in the front-rear direction. The mud guard 1 is composed of a mud guard 11 provided at the lower edge of the sliding door B1 and moved together with the door B1, and a mud guard 12 provided at the lower edge of the rear quarter panel B2. Matsudo Guard 1
2 is provided only near the rear wheel arch portion B3 in order to avoid interference with the sliding door B1 which is pulled out to the rear outside of the side body B. Therefore, in order to closely oppose the front end 12a of the mudguard 12, the rear end 11a of the mudguard 11 is
is extended to the rear.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In the muzzle guard 1 having the above structure, snow etc. rolled up by the rear wheels W adhere to the muzzle guard 12 while driving in a cold region, causing a snowbank S as shown in FIG. arise. The snow pile S grows along the lower edge of the quarter panel B2 and eventually freezes between the mud guards 11 and 12, causing a problem in that it becomes difficult to open the sliding door B1.

In view of these problems, the present invention aims to provide a side mud guard that can smoothly open and close a sliding door especially in cold regions.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In the side mudguard 1 (FIG. 1) of the present invention, the end portion 12 of the mudguard 12 provided on the quarter panel B2 facing the wheel arch portion B3.
b is integrally formed with a solid extension part 121 having a predetermined width inward of the vehicle and hanging down on an extension line of the wheel arch part B3.

[Effect of the invention] According to the side muzzle guard 1 of the present invention, the snow rolled up by the wheels W forms a snowbank S on the extension part 121 of the muzzle guard 12, as shown in FIG. 12
It doesn't come in time.

Therefore, even in a cold region, the door B1 can be opened and closed smoothly.

[Example] Hereinafter, the side mudguard 1 of the present invention will be explained, focusing on the differences from the conventional structure.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the rear part of the side mudguard 1 seen from the rear of the vehicle. A mud guard 12 provided on the quarter panel B2 is screwed to the lower end of the front edge of the rear wheel arch portion B3. Matsudo guard 12 is an integrally molded synthetic resin product, and the rear wheel W
At the rear end 12b facing the rear end 12b, an extension part 121 is formed which has a certain width inward of the vehicle and hangs downward on an extension line of the rear wheel arch part B3.

By forming such an extension 121, the snow rolled up by the rear wheels W forms a snowbank S moving downward along the extension 121, as shown in FIG. It does not reach between the adjacent rear end 11a and front end 12a. This prevents the space between the mudguards 11 and 12 from freezing, and ensures smooth opening and closing of the sliding door B1.

Note that the side mudguard of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the extension portion may be provided at the front end facing the front wheel arch portion of the mudguard provided on the front quarter panel. Also,
The present invention is particularly suitable for use with sliding doors, but is not limited thereto.
