Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an automobile body cover that can be folded and stored conveniently.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

In recent years, it has become common to park cars outdoors, but when parked outdoors, the car body not only corrodes due to wind and rain, but also accumulates snow or frost on the windows in the winter. It is common practice to cover the vehicle body with a cover.

However, conventional car body covers consist of a cover shaped like a car, and are usually stored in the trunk and unfolded to cover the car only when in use. There was a problem with this.

In addition, since the whole body cover is large, it takes time and effort to store it, and as a result, there is a problem that even if a body cover is purchased, it is often not used.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle body cover that is convenient for storage and installation.

[Means for solving problems]

The vehicle body cover according to claim 1, which meets the above object, includes a cover body whose surface is waterproofed and has bent portions on both sides, and a drawstring arranged through a guide ring in the center of the cover body. and a plurality of bending strings, one end of which is fixed to both ends of the bent portion of the cover body, the other end of which is connected to the drawstring, and a plurality of bending strings that are provided at the tip of the cover body via an elastic member. The latching rod is shorter than the width of the car body, and the cover itself is folded by pulling the above-mentioned drawstring and then rolled up and stored. Elastic members such as rubber are provided around the side panels, and the rod is shorter than the width of the car body and stored in the trunk. It is constructed with a drum that can be used.

Further, the vehicle body cover according to claim 2 which meets the above object is the vehicle body cover according to claim 1, in which the drum has a circular side plate around which an elastic member such as rubber is arranged, and the side plate. A winding shaft is eccentrically arranged on the side plate, and a handle is attached to an end of the winding shaft.

[Effect]

In the vehicle body cover according to claims 1 and 2, bent portions are formed on both sides of the cover body, one end of a bending string is connected to the bending portion, and the other end of the bending string is connected to a central guide ring. Since it is connected to a single drawstring that passes through it, by pulling the drawstring, the bent part bends toward the center,
As a result, the width of the cover body becomes narrower, so it can be stored by being wound around a drum, and the drum becomes shorter than the width of the vehicle body, so it can be stored in the trunk.

Furthermore, since a latching rod is provided at the tip of the cover body, it is possible to place the drum at the rear of the vehicle body, spread the cover body, and hook the latching rod at the tip to, for example, a license plate. This allows the vehicle body cover to be attached to the vehicle.

19, and a drawstring 20 that connects the bending strings 18 and 19. These will be explained in detail below.

In this embodiment, the width of the cover body 13 is approximately 180 cm at the front and approximately 45 cm from the center.
Bending lines 21 and 22 are provided at the portions, and bent portions 23 and 24 are formed on both sides. Bendable strings 18 and 19 are provided at predetermined intervals at both ends of the bent portions 23 and 24, and the other ends of the bent strings 18 and 19 are made of metal as shown in FIG. It is connected to the drawstring 20 through a guide ring 25.

A pull ring 26 and a hook-and-loop fastener 27 are attached to the end of the draw string 20, and by pulling the pull ring 26 strongly, the bent portions 23 and 24 on both sides are moved inward with the bend lines 21 and 22 as boundaries. They overlap so that the width _l1 is approximately 90 cm.

The surface fastener 27 is attached to the drawstring 26.
When not in use, the cover body 13 is engaged with and fixed to a pair of hook-and-loop fasteners 28 fixed to the tip of the cover body 13.

Note that thin (approximately 1 mm thick) rubber plates 29 and 30 are placed at the rear of the bent portions 23 and 24, so that when the vehicle body cover 10 is used, the bent portions 23 and 24 may be damaged by wind from the rear or side. , 24 serves as a weight to prevent it from opening, and
Hook and loop fasteners 31 and 32 are attached to the front ends of the folded portions 23 and 24, and the front end corners of the folded folded portions 23 and 24 are attached to the center hook and loop fastener 33.
It is designed to be fixed to

As shown in FIG. 5, the center front part of the cover main body 13 is made of two layers, and rubber bands 14, 15 are attached to the ends of the cover body 13 via attachment fittings 34. The tip has a total length of approximately 90 mm.
A latching rod 16 made of pipe material of about cm is attached.

A drum 17 for winding the folded cover body 13 is provided at the rear end of the cover body 13.
As shown in FIG. 4, circular side plates 35 on both sides,
36, four support rods 37 connecting the side plates 35 and 36, a winding shaft 38 eccentrically arranged on the side plates, and a handle 39 attached to one end of the winding shaft 38. It is composed of

A rubber plate 41 with a thickness of 5 mm or more is attached around the side plates 35 and 36, so that even if the side plates 35 and 36 are brought into contact with the vehicle body 40, the vehicle body 40 will not be damaged. The winding shaft 38 is eccentric and has a space in a part, so that there is no problem even if the protrusion at the rear of the vehicle body fits in a little.

A hanging string 42 is attached to both ends of a part of the support rod 37, and the drum 17
can be attached to the rear part of the trunk of the vehicle body 40.

[Effect of idea]

As is clear from the above description, the vehicle body cover according to claim 1 has bent portions formed on both sides, which are bent inward by a bending string connected to a single drawstring in the center. Because of this, it is possible to weave two layers inside with the simple action of pulling the drawstring, which can then be stored with the simple action of winding it around the drum, so it can be stored neatly with an extremely simple action. The car body cover can be stored.

Further, since the wide cover body is folded and then wound around the drum, and the length of the drum is shorter than the width of the vehicle body, the wound drum can be stored in the trunk.

If you want to take the drum out of the trunk, there is an elastic member on the side plate.
The vehicle body cover can be attached and removed without damaging the vehicle body.

In the vehicle body cover described in claim 2, since the winding shaft is eccentric, even if the rear center of the vehicle body gradually protrudes, the winding shaft or the support rod at the center part will not come into contact with the vehicle body cover. The drum can be placed in the rear of the trunk.
