Abstract

PURPOSE:To change the length of a spoiler in the car width direction and fit the spoiler without boring a body by fitting the divided edge parts of spoiler half bodies into a center cover while adjusting the fitting-in quantity and adhering the spoiler half bodies to the body surface by attracting rubber on the bottom face side of the spoiler main body. CONSTITUTION:The fitting-in quantity of the divided edge parts of spoiler half bodies 2, 2a is adjusted by the connected state of a link according to the width of a luggage door. In this state, adjusting the position of a slider 22, attracting rubbers 12, 20 are adhered being folded at folds 12a, 20a as well as the spoiler half bodies 2, 2a are constrained to the luggage door by hooks 21b and lower end edges 21a, and the slider 22 is locked by a locking plate. A rear spoiler 1 can be thus adjusted at its lateral width and fixed by attracting rubbers 12, 20 without boring the luggage door as well as closed in by foot parts 11, 21 leaving a slight gap below.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a spoiler for an automobile whose width in the vehicle width direction can be varied.

[Conventional technology]

This type of spoiler has a central portion shaped like a bellows.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, such a structure has problems in terms of strength and also has the drawback that the design of the intermediate portion changes depending on the adjustment. In addition, after adjustment, it was attached to the body surface using bolts or grommets.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a versatile spoiler for an automobile that can be attached to the body without drilling, adjusting the width in the vehicle width direction according to the vehicle type or as desired.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides spoiler halves on both sides obtained by dividing a spoiler main body into two at an intermediate position in the vehicle width direction, and split ends of these spoiler halves that are fitted in such a way that the amount of insertion can be adjusted. A center cover that is formed in a cylindrical shape and has suction rubber attached to the bottom surface that sticks to the body surface, and a locking tool that is locked to the edge of the body surface in the vehicle width direction and that sticks to the body surface. It consists of a movable body with a slide lock attached to which suction rubber is attached and which is slidably provided on the lower surface of the spoiler half in the vehicle width direction.

(Function) By adjusting the insertion amount of the divided end of the spoiler half and fitting it into the center cover, the length of the main body in the vehicle width direction is adjusted. The adjusted spoiler body is attached to the body surface using the suction rubber on the bottom side.

Furthermore, the movable body is locked with a locking device to the edge of the body in the vehicle width direction, and the movable body is locked with a slide locking device to ensure this locked state.

(Embodiment) FIGS. 1 to 4 show a general-purpose spoiler according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, the rear spoiler l attached to the rear end of the luggage door 9 (FIG. 4) consists of spoiler halves 2.
2a and each divided end is formed into a cylindrical shape, and the bottom surface is coated with suction rubber 12 that adheres to the luggage door surface 9a, and a stop lamp 1 is provided at the rear.
Center cover lO with 9 and spoiler half 2.2
A foot portion 21 is attached to a slider 22 as a movable body that is slidably engaged in a long groove 5.5a formed on the lower surface of a, and a luggage door surface 9 is attached to this foot portion.
It is composed of an adsorbent rubber 20 that adsorbs to a.

As shown in FIG. 2, the leg portion 21 has a space in which the suction rubber 20 is housed and is screwed and attached to the protruding portion 22a of the slider 22 into the long groove 5.5a.

Further, the foot portion 21 is placed on the luggage door surface 9a with a lower edge 21a, and a hook 21b as a locked piece is formed on the edge on the outside of the vehicle interior. The length of the remaining lower edge 21a with respect to this hook position is formed slightly shorter in accordance with the thickness of the luggage door 9, so that the hook 21b or the edge 9b can be securely engaged when the person is seated on the luggage door surface 9a. is set to be stopped. Furthermore, a lock plate 23 as a slider locking device is screwed onto the slider 22 from the opposite side of the long groove 5.5a, and
The slider 22 is adapted to lock onto the spoiler half 2.2a.

At the split end of the spoiler half 2.2a, a cap 8, 8a with a link 7 is engaged, as shown in FIG. The width of the center cover 10 in the vehicle width direction is set to such an extent that the amount of insertion of the spoiler halves 2, 2a can be adjusted in accordance with the overall length of a table-type spoiler body or a desired spoiler body. The suction rubber 12 is tap-tightly secured to the bottom surface of the center cover 1O together with the foot portion 11 surrounding it.

The assembly of the Yasu boiler I constructed in this way will be explained based on FIG. 4.

Depending on the width of the luggage door 9, the amount by which the spoiler half 2.2a fits into the center cover IO is adjusted in the connected state of the link 7. In this state, adjust the position of the slider 22 (
Figure 4 a), fold the suction rubber 12.20 at the creases 12a, 20
At the same time as adsorbing it in the bent state at point a,
The spoiler half 2.2a is restrained by the luggage door 9 by the lower edge 21a and the slider 22 is locked by the lock plate 23 (FIG. 4b).

As a result, the width of the rear spoiler l is adjusted, and the suction rubber 1 can be adjusted without drilling holes in the luggage door 9.
2.20, and is surrounded by the foot portion 11.21, leaving a small gap at the bottom. Further, in consideration of theft prevention and the like, the installation state of the luggage door 9 is locked by the hook 21b and the lock plate 23. Stop lamp 19
lights up at a predetermined position regardless of the adjustment operation.

In the above-described embodiment, the spoiler halves are connected to each other by connecting the spoiler halves with guide rods 27 instead of the links 7, as shown in FIG. An elastic body can be interposed in the through hole of .8a for frictional engagement. However, this connection structure can be abolished in some cases. Other configurations may be considered as the sliding movable body for the spoiler or the locking device for the edge of the luggage door.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the connecting structure of the spoiler halves.

In this case, reverse threads are formed at both ends of both parallel guide rods 37 so that the spoiler halves 2.2a on both sides are moved toward and away from each other in the rotational direction, and a nut 3 formed on the cap 38 is formed.
It is screwed into 8a. A knurl 35 is formed on one guide rod 37, and a suction rubber (not shown) is formed in the same way.
A window 19 is formed on the bottom surface of the center cover 10. Thereby, the length of the spoiler body can be adjusted by rotating the knurling 35 from the window 19.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the length of the spoiler in the vehicle width direction can be varied according to the vehicle type or preference, and since attachment to the body surface is performed using a suction cup, there is no need to drill holes in the body surface. Furthermore, even if the device is fixed to a suction cup, theft can be prevented by providing a locking piece with a slide lock to the body at the end.
