Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a rubber bumper for a rear frame of a van-type vehicle.

(Prior art) When a van-type vehicle handles cargo on a platform such as a warehouse or a warehouse without a platform, it is necessary to back up to a predetermined position. There is a problem of contact and damage to the rear frame or the other party's building.

Conventionally, no countermeasures have been taken on the vehicle side to deal with such problems.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) It is possible to solve the problems of the prior art, to protect the rear frame of a van-type vehicle and at the same time to protect the building that may come into contact with the rear frame, and to further protect the rear frame of a van-type vehicle. The purpose is to improve the appearance of the frame.

(Means for Solving Problems by Invention) A mounting base fixed to a frame body, a hollow projecting part projecting outward from the base, the mounting base having a lip piece orthogonal thereto, and the hollow The overhang has an outer surface that extends in the opposite direction to the lip piece and is formed with a relatively large curvature, and a synthetic rubber hollow body having a drainage protrusion at the end is attached to the side frame of the rear frame. and attached to the upper frame.

(Embodiment) FIG. 4 is a view of a conventional van-type vehicle V to which the present invention is applied, seen from the rear. Reference numeral 1 indicates a side frame constituting a rear frame of a van-type vehicle, and 2 indicates an upper frame. Reference numeral 3 designates a pair of double doors, which are pivoted to the side frame 1 with a plurality of hinges 4.

The present invention is a rubber bumper that is attached to the side frame 1 and upper frame 2 of the rear frame of such a van-type vehicle V, and the details thereof will be described below.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which a rubber bumper 5 is attached to a rear frame, and short rubber bumpers 5 according to the present invention are attached to the top and bottom of the side frame 1 except for the hinge 4 portion. Since there is no obstacle such as a hinge 4 to the upper frame 2, one real long rubber bumper 5 is continuously attached from end to end.

The rubber bumper 5 has the same cross-sectional shape for both the side frame and the upper frame, and is formed straight and cut to an appropriate length.

Figure 2 shows the rubber bumper 5 attached to the upper frame 2.
The rubber bumper 5 is a hollow body and is composed of a mounting base 7 and a hollow protrusion 8, and is attached to one side (the upper part in the figure) of the mounting base 7 in close contact with the upper surface of the upper frame 2. A covering lip piece 7a is integrally provided. The bottom surface 9 of the hollow protrusion 8 of the rubber bumper 5 is horizontal, the outer surface 10 is formed with a relatively large curvature, and is continuous with the lip piece. A draining projection 11 is provided at the tip of the hollow projection 8 and faces further inward (downward in the figure) than the bottom surface 9.

To attach this to the upper frame 2, a screw 6 is inserted from the hollow part 12, and is screwed into a screw hole previously provided in the upper frame 2 and fixed. Alternatively, make a screw insertion hole (not shown) from the outer surface 10 of the rubber bumper 5 toward the mounting part, insert the screw through this hole, insert a screwdriver through this hole, and turn the screw. May be installed.

FIG. 3 shows a cross section taken in the direction of the arrows in FIG. 1, and shows the coupling relationship between the side frame 1 and the rubber bumper 5. The rubber bumper 5 itself is exactly the same as that attached to the upper frame 2, and the way it is attached is also exactly the same. However, since there is a hinge 4 on the side frame, the hinge brackets 13, 13 forming the hinge are attached with a gap between them.

(Effects) Hollow bodies molded from synthetic rubber are attached to both side frames and the upper frame of the rear frame, so even if the van-type vehicle backs up and hits a building, etc., the cushioning effect of the hollow rubber bumper will protect the rear frame. It is safe because it does not damage buildings, buildings, etc.

A rubber bumper with a constant shape and excellent cross-section is attached to the rear frame, making it more beautiful in appearance than the previous model with exposed metal surfaces. Furthermore, since the outer surface of the rubber bumper is formed with a relatively large curvature, it also contributes to reducing air resistance while the vehicle is running.

The rubber bumper can be made into a long piece by pressure molding from synthetic rubber, and can be cut to a predetermined length for use, so it can be provided at a low cost.
