Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a simple rain gutter for a traveling vehicle that is attached to a traveling vehicle such as an automobile.

[Conventional technology]

On metal parts such as the hood and roof of a car,
Wax is applied to prevent corrosion and to give a shine. However, when it rains, the applied wax melts and rain water mixed with wax flows on the outside surface of the window glass. However, wax contains oil and silicone, so when it rains, There was a problem with wax oil and silicone adhering to the windows, causing them to fog up. In particular, the fogging of the front and rear windows was a problem for safe driving. Moreover, since such wax stains cannot be removed simply by wiping with a rag, conventionally a special oil film remover has been used to remove them.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, it is troublesome to wipe off the wax with an oil film remover, and even if it is wiped off, the rainwater in which the wax has dissolved will flow down from the roof and immediately stain the window glass, making it difficult to ensure safe driving. There was a problem.

This invention was made in consideration of the above circumstances,
For example, to provide a simple rain gutter for a running vehicle that prevents car window glasses from becoming dirty with rainwater, does not damage the appearance of the rain gutter mounting part, and does not cause the grooves to collapse even when external pressure is applied to the groove forming plate. The purpose is to

[Means to solve problems]

In order to achieve the above object, a simple rain gutter for a traveling vehicle according to the present invention is made of a long substrate made of a flexible material and having an adhesive surface to be adhered to the rain gutter mounting part; a groove forming plate that is continuous with the lower end of the substrate and extends upward from the lower end so as to form a groove; The device is characterized in that a collapse prevention protrusion is formed on the surface and prevents the groove from collapsing.

[Effect]

A simple rain gutter for a traveling vehicle according to the present invention includes a long substrate having an adhesive surface to be adhered to a rain gutter mounting part;
It has a groove forming plate that is continuous with the bottom edge of the board and extends upward from the bottom edge to form a groove, so water flowing from above the rain gutter mounting part is received by the groove and drained towards both ends. This prevents water from contaminating the gutter mounting area.

Further, in the simple rain gutter for a traveling vehicle according to the present invention, the base plate and the groove forming plate are made of a flexible material, so that when external pressure is applied to the groove forming plate, the tip of the groove forming plate sticks to the base plate. Therefore, when the vehicle is running, the groove forming plate is stuck to the substrate due to wind pressure, and the simple rain gutter becomes almost invisible, and the appearance of the area around the rain gutter mounting portion is not spoiled. Furthermore, since the tip of the groove forming plate sticks to the substrate and there is almost no gap, it is possible to prevent wind noise caused by wind during driving.

Furthermore, the simple rain gutter for traveling vehicles according to the present invention is
Since a crush-preventing protrusion is provided on the surface of the substrate on the groove-forming plate side or on the surface of the groove-forming plate on the substrate side, the groove will not collapse even when external pressure is applied to the groove-forming plate and the tip of the groove-forming plate sticks to the substrate. It never collapses completely.

〔Example〕

A simple rain gutter for a traveling vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. This simple rain gutter for a traveling vehicle is composed of a long substrate 2 and a groove forming plate 4 continuous to the lower end of the substrate 2. The substrate 2 and the groove forming plate device form a V-shaped groove forming an angle of, for example, 20 to 30 degrees. It is desirable that the groove forming plate 4 is curved so that its outer side protrudes so that the V-shaped groove does not collapse even if the angle formed between the substrate 2 and the groove forming plate 4 becomes small. The outer surface of the board 2 is an adhesive surface 2 for adhering this simple rain gutter for traveling vehicles to the rain gutter mounting part.
It's becoming a. You can apply adhesive to this adhesive surface 2a and attach it to the rain gutter attachment part when gluing, or you can apply adhesive to the adhesive surface 2a in advance and cover it with easily removable paper and then use this paper when gluing. It may be peeled off and attached to the rain gutter attachment part.

Note that the substrate 2 and the groove forming plate 4 are made of, for example, plastic or rubber. It may be made of a soft material so that it can be attached even if the gutter attachment part is curved. If the V-shaped groove is made of a soft material, there is a risk that the V-shaped groove will be crushed by external pressure such as wind pressure, so the protrusions 6 are provided at a plurality of locations on the substrate 2. By providing the protrusions in this manner, even if the V-shaped groove is crushed by external pressure such as wind pressure, the curved shape of the groove forming plate 4 is maintained, and a good V-shaped groove can be formed even when the external pressure is removed.

A specific example in which this simple rain gutter for a traveling vehicle is attached to an automobile is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. car roof 10
In order to prevent rainwater flowing from the front window glass 12 from flowing on the front window glass 12, the simple rain gutter 1 for a traveling vehicle according to this embodiment is installed on the window glass 12 as shown in FIG.
and the boundary of the roof 10. That is, as shown in FIG.
4, the simple rain gutter 1 for a traveling vehicle is installed on the window glass 12 immediately below this joining member 14.

When the simple rain gutter 1 for a running vehicle according to this embodiment is installed on a car in this way, even if rainwater runs down from the roof 10, the rainwater will not drain away because the simple rain gutter 1 for a running vehicle is located above the front window glass 12. As shown in FIG. 3, the water flows down to the ground from the left and right ends of the simple rain gutter 1 for a traveling vehicle located at the end of the window glass 12. Therefore, rainwater that melts the wax applied to the roof 10 does not flow over the window glass 12, and the window glass 12 does not become foggy and difficult to see.

Note that when the simple rain gutter 1 for a traveling vehicle is installed and the car is driven, if there is a gap between the upper end of the groove forming plate 4 of the simple rain gutter 1 for a traveling vehicle and the connecting member 14, wind noise will occur at medium and high speeds. may occur. In this embodiment, if the groove forming plate 4 is made of a soft material and its width is made wide, the groove forming plate 4 will be pressed against the window glass 12 side by the wind pressure while driving, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. The upper end comes into contact with the coupling member 14 and there is no gap, so no wind noise is generated. Further, when the groove forming plate 4 is pressed against the window glass 12 side by wind pressure while the vehicle is running, the central portion of the groove forming plate 4 is pushed by the protrusion 6 and continues to curve outward as shown in FIG. For this reason, the groove forming plate 4 has a habit of being curved with its outer side protruding, and when the wind pressure disappears and the groove forming plate 4 returns to its original shape, the V-shaped groove will not be crushed and a good V-shaped groove will be formed. It is formed. Therefore, according to this embodiment, since the projections 6 are provided, the simple rain gutter 1 for a traveling vehicle is always molded into a desired shape as the vehicle travels.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various modifications are possible. For example, in the above embodiment, a protrusion was provided on the substrate 2 to prevent the V-shaped groove from being crushed.
As shown in FIG. 5, protrusions 8 may be provided on the surface of the groove forming plate 4 on the substrate 2 side. Further, the protrusions may be provided on both the substrate 2 and the groove forming plate 4. Further, if the substrate 2 and the groove forming plate 4 are made of materials that are not easily crushed, it is not necessary to provide any protrusions.

Further, in the above embodiment, the groove forming plate 4 is wider than the substrate 2, but the width of the groove forming plate 4 may be the same as that of the substrate 1, or may be narrower.

Further, in the above embodiment, the groove was V-shaped, but
Any groove shape such as U-shape or W-shape may be used as long as it allows rainwater to flow away.

Further, in the above embodiment, the simple rain gutter for a traveling vehicle is provided on the front window glass of the automobile, but it may be provided on the upper part of the window glass on the rear surface or both sides. In particular, if the rear window glass becomes cloudy, it will hinder safe driving, so the simple rain gutter for vehicles of the present invention is effective. Furthermore, the simple rain gutter for a traveling vehicle of the present invention can be installed not only on automobiles but also in any place on a traveling vehicle where it is difficult for rainwater to accumulate, such as the windshield of a motorcycle or the windshield of a train.

Since the required length differs depending on the installation location, it is economical to create a long simple rain gutter for a running vehicle and cut it to the required length to avoid waste. If the material is soft, a very long simple rain gutter for a traveling vehicle may be made and rolled into a tube.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, there is provided a long substrate having an adhesive surface to be bonded to a rain gutter mounting portion, and a groove extending upward from the bottom end to form a groove and continuous with the bottom end of the substrate. Since it has a forming plate,
Water flowing from above the rain gutter mounting part can be received by the groove and drained toward both ends, so that the rain gutter mounting part can be prevented from becoming contaminated with water.

Further, according to the present invention, since the substrate and the groove forming plate are made of a flexible material, when external pressure is applied to the groove forming plate, there is almost no gap between the tip of the groove forming plate and the substrate, which reduces wind noise. This can be prevented, the simple rain gutter for a traveling vehicle becomes less noticeable, and the appearance of the rain gutter attachment part is not spoiled.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, since the crushing prevention protrusion is provided on the surface of the substrate on the groove forming plate side or the surface of the groove forming plate on the substrate side, the groove can be completely crushed even when external pressure is applied to the groove forming plate. Even when external pressure is removed, the groove easily returns to its original shape.

Further, according to the present invention, since the base plate and the groove forming plate are made of a flexible material, even if the simple rain gutter for a traveling vehicle of the present invention comes off while driving, it is soft and there is little danger and it is safe.
