Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] For a canvas top type vehicle in which the roof opening formed in the roof of the vehicle body is opened and closed with a hood cloth (canvas), air column resonance occurs when the roof opening is fully opened without separately providing a deflector. The purpose is to reduce the number of parts and work man-hours by preventing the above. [Structure] When the roof opening 11a is opened, the hood cloth 16 is provided with a drive mechanism 19 for sliding the hood cloth 16 on the outer surface side of the roof portion 11 of the vehicle body 10 and sliding the hood cloth 16 toward the vehicle body traveling direction side of the roof opening 11a.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial application]

 The present invention relates to a canvas top type vehicle in which a roof opening formed in a roof portion of a vehicle body is opened and closed with a hood cloth (canvas).

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a roof portion of a conventional canvas top type automobile in a state where the roof opening is fully opened, and FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line IV-IV in FIG. Reference numeral 2 denotes a roof portion of the vehicle body 1, and a roof opening 2a is formed in the roof portion 2. Further, 3 is a front roof rail, 4 is a front glass, and 5 is a deflector mounted on the outermost front surface of the roof part 2 by means of a fixture 6 and a rivet 7. It plays the function of letting air flow upward.

Further, 8 is a hood cloth (canvas) that opens and closes the roof opening 2a of the roof portion 2. The hood cloth 8 is slid by a drive mechanism (not shown), and as shown in FIG. When opened, it is folded on the outer surface side of the roof part 2 and moved to the rear side of the roof opening 2a. When the vehicle body 1 is run with the roof opening 2a opened in this way, the air from the front of the vehicle body 1 is guided upward by the deflector 5, so that the roof opening 2a is directed to the inside of the vehicle. It is possible to prevent air column resonance from occurring without flowing.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in such a conventional canvas top type automobile, it is necessary to separately provide the deflector 5 in order to prevent air column resonance from occurring when traveling with the roof opening 2a open, and the number of parts is reduced. And it was one of the factors that increased the man-hours.

The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and it is possible to prevent the occurrence of air column resonance when the roof opening is fully opened without separately providing a deflector, and to reduce the number of parts and It is an object of the present invention to provide a canvas top type automobile that reduces the number of work steps.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Therefore, the canvas top type automobile of the present invention is such that the roof opening formed in the roof portion of the vehicle body is opened and closed by the hood cloth, and when the roof opening is opened, the hood cloth is folded on the outer surface side of the vehicle body roof portion. It is characterized in that it is provided with a drive mechanism for slidingly moving the roof opening toward the vehicle traveling direction.

[0007]

[Action]

 In the above-described canvas top type vehicle of the present invention, when the roof opening is opened, the hood cloth is slid toward the vehicle traveling direction side of the roof opening while being folded on the outer surface side of the vehicle body roof part by the drive mechanism. .. At this time, the hood cloth folded and moved toward the vehicle body advancing direction side of the roof opening protrudes upward from the outer surface side near the forefront part of the vehicle body roof portion, and the front surface of the hood cloth is It will perform the same function as a conventional deflector that directs air upward.

[0008]

【Example】

 A canvas top type vehicle as an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 2 is a perspective view showing the roof portion with the roof opening fully opened.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, 10 is a vehicle body of a canvas top type automobile of this embodiment, 11 is a roof portion of the vehicle body 10, and a roof opening 10 a is formed in the roof portion 10. Further, 12 is a front roof rail, and 13 is a windshield. In the vehicle of this embodiment, an overhead shelf portion 15 as shown in FIG. 1 is formed on the front side of the roof portion in the passenger compartment, and the overhead shelf portion 15 stores the overhead shelf portion 15 above the overhead shelf portion 15. A plate member 14 for covering the portion is provided.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a hood cloth (canvas) that opens and closes the roof opening 11a of the roof portion 11. The hood cloth 16 is slidably driven by a drive motor 19 (drive mechanism). As shown in FIG. 1, when the roof opening 11a is opened, the hood cloth 16 is slid toward the front side of the roof opening 11a (the vehicle body traveling direction side) while folding the hood cloth 16 on the outer surface side of the roof section 2 to move the roof section 11a. It is arranged at a position above the overhead shelf section 15 (plate member 14).

The driving force of the drive motor 19 is transmitted to a plurality of top ribs 17 arranged at appropriate places of the top cloth 16 through a mechanism (not shown), and as the top ribs 17 slide and move. Although the roof opening 11a is opened and closed by the hood cloth 16, the mechanism for transmitting the drive force from the drive motor 19 to each hood bone 17 is publicly known, and therefore the description thereof is omitted here. To do.

The front edge side of the hood cloth 16 is attached and fixed to the outermost front surface of the roof portion 11 by a rivet 18 together with the front edge side of the plate member 14. Further, the plate member 14 is formed in a concave shape, and the drive motor 19 is housed in a space portion formed between the plate member 14 and the hood cloth 16. Since the canvas top type vehicle as one embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above, when the roof opening 11a is opened, the hood cloth 16 is folded by the drive motor 19 on the outer surface side of the roof portion 11 while the roof is being folded. It is slid to the front side of the opening 11a, and is arranged at a position above the overhead shelf portion 15 (plate member 14) of the roof portion 11 as shown in FIGS.

At this time, in the present embodiment, the hood cloth 16 folded and moved to the front side of the roof opening 11 a rises upward from the outer surface side near the frontmost part of the roof portion 11, and The front surface fulfills exactly the same function as that of a conventional deflector (see reference numeral 5 in FIGS. 3 and 4) that guides air received from the front upward while the vehicle body 10 is traveling.

In other words, when the vehicle body 10 is run with the roof opening 11a open, the air from the front of the vehicle body 10 is guided upward by the frontmost surface of the hood cloth 16, so that the vehicle is driven through the roof opening 11a. It is possible to reliably prevent air column resonance from occurring without flowing into the room. As described above, according to the present embodiment, the hood cloth 16 folded to the front side of the roof portion 11 can also serve as the deflector, and it is not necessary to separately provide the deflector as in the conventional case, and the number of parts can be reduced. There is an advantage that it is possible to reduce the number and man-hours.

When the roof opening 11a is opened, a logo such as a car name is drawn on the forefront of the hood cloth 16 that rises upward from the outer surface side near the front of the roof 11 so that it can be seen from the front of the vehicle body 10. You can also do it.

[0016]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above in detail, according to the canvas top type vehicle of the present invention, when the roof opening is opened, the hood cloth is folded on the outer surface side of the vehicle body roof portion and is slid toward the vehicle advancing direction side of the roof opening. Due to the extremely simple structure with a mechanism, the front surface of the hood cloth performs the same function as the deflector, so it is possible to reliably generate air column resonance when the roof opening is fully opened without separately providing a deflector as in the past. This has the advantage that it can be prevented, the number of parts can be reduced, and the work man-hours can be reduced.
