Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To improve a radiator grille having a vertical wall that partitions a space surrounded by horizontal bars and vertical bars so that the wall is not conspicuous from the outside. [Structure] Horizontal surfaces 13 and overhanging downward slopes 14 are arranged alternately on the front side of the wall. As a result, horizontal external light (arrow e) is reflected diagonally downward as shown by arrow f, and external light in the direction of arrow g is also reflected diagonally downward as shown by arrow h, so that these reflected lights are at eye level. does not reach.

Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

This invention relates to a radiator grill that is attached to the front end of an automobile body. Ru.

0002

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the radiator grille 2 attached to the front end of the automobile body 1. . FIG. 3 shows a front view of the radiator grill. The radiator grill 2 has a plurality of horizontal bars 4 and a plurality of vertical bars in a portion surrounded by a rim 3. A structure in which the crosspieces 5 intersect with each other, and both ends thereof are fixed to the rim 3. It is. In the plurality of areas surrounded by the above-mentioned horizontal bars 4 and vertical bars 5, there are There is also a part 6 that penetrates in the direction perpendicular to the page, and a part that is partitioned by a wall 7. (shown with spots) is also available.

0003 The AA cross section shown in FIG. 3 is shown in FIG. 4 (A), and the B-B cross section is shown in FIG. 4 (B). . The radiator grill 2 is supported by a mounting member 9 on the vehicle body frame 8. has been done. The aforementioned wall 7 comprises a. Serves as an adapter for connecting the mounting member 9 mentioned above. , b. It also serves as a cover for the internal contents of the engine room.

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

Although the wall 7 is a necessary component, from a design point of view, this wall 7 is not conspicuous. It is desirable that there is no such thing. If this wall 7 stands out, the sense of depth of the radiator grille will disappear and the sense of luxury will be hindered. Gives a cheap feel. What's more, it looks like the wall is hiding people's eyes. Ru.

[0005] Figures 5 (A), (B), and (C) are diagrams for explaining the structure of the front side of the wall 7 of the conventional example. FIG. The above-mentioned front side refers to when this is attached to the front end of the car body. The left side in FIG. 5 is the side seen from the front of the automobile. In the conventional example shown in FIG. 5A, a black matte coating film 10 is provided on the front side of the wall 7. However, even if you apply black matte paint, the reflection of light will not be completely eliminated, and the appearance of the wall will change. Makes you feel the presence of 7. In the conventional example shown in FIG. 5(B), a large number of small irregular irregularities are provided on the front side of the wall 7. Both are painted black (or a tone similar to black). Configure like this However, the reflection of light is not completely eliminated, and the appearance gives a sense of the presence of the wall 7.

[0006] The conventional example shown in FIG. 5(C) has unevenness with a chevron-shaped cross section. For details, see the vertical section. The irregularities forming an approximately isosceles triangle are arranged, and the base of the isosceles triangle is vertical. It has become. When external light enters this surface as shown by arrows a and b, it appears as shown by arrows c and d. reflected diagonally upward and downward. Because of this, some of the reflected light may enter your eyes. The presence of wall 7 is felt.

[0007] The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances. The purpose is to provide geator grills.

[0008]

[Means to solve the problem]

The radiator grill according to the present invention has a configuration for achieving the above object, A radiator tag that has a substantially vertical wall that partitions a space surrounded by horizontal and vertical bars. In Lil, The front surface of the above wall has alternating horizontal surfaces and overhanging slopes. It is characterized by.

[0009]

[Effect]

According to the above configuration, the front side (that is, the front side) of the wall is a horizontal surface and a downward slope (or It is formed by a slope with a hanging shape. On the other hand, the light enters from between the horizontal bars. Since the external light flux is almost horizontal, even if it is reflected on a horizontal surface, it will be reflected on a downward slope. Even if the beam is moved, a ``reflected light flux that passes between the horizontal bars and reaches the eye-level position'' does not occur. Therefore, the existence of the wall is not visible on the outside.

0010

【Example】

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of the vicinity of the wall 7 of the radiator grill according to the present invention, and is shown on the left side of the figure. is the front side. The front side of the wall 7 has alternating horizontal surfaces 13 and downwardly overhanging slopes 14. are arranged in Comparing this with the conventional example in Fig. 5(C), the front side of the wall 7 in the embodiment in Fig. 1 is horizontal. It is formed by a surface and a downward slope, and there is no upward slope. For details, see When an imaginary perpendicular line is placed above the slope, the perpendicular line rises as it moves away from the slope. There is no slope of any shape.

[0011] External light beams incident horizontally as shown by arrows e and e' are directed diagonally downward as shown by arrows f and f'. It is reflected to the side and does not reach eye level. Also, the extraneous light flux in the direction of arrow g is as shown by arrow h. It is reflected diagonally downward and does not reach eye level. Therefore, I looked at wall 7 in the direction of the arrow Eye. At that moment, it looks dark, as if looking into bottomless darkness, and I don't feel the existence of walls.

0012

[Effect of the idea]

As has been made clear with respect to the above-mentioned embodiments, the radiator grill of the present invention has , a vertical wall that separates a space surrounded by horizontal and vertical bars ( A wall that is perpendicular to the horizontal crossbeam, and almost vertical with respect to the earth) appears on the exterior. Not possible. Therefore, it detracts from the luxurious feel of the radiator grill and gives the impression that it is hidden. There is no risk of this happening.
