Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a body panel below a window glass of a bus in which a window glass is provided in front of a driver's seat and behind a rear seat.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In the body of a bus that has been generally used from the past, the floor surface of the seat is higher than the floor surface of a general vehicle due to reasons such as wide visibility from the inside of the vehicle, and therefore the overall height is high. Also, the front glass area has been expanded vertically to ensure the driver's visibility, with the upper 2/3 of the front being window glass and the lower 1/3 of the body panel.

The body panel behind the rearmost seat is a window glass on the upper side and a body panel on the lower side to secure a rear view from the driver's seat and to illuminate. With respect to the body panel of the bus, in addition to the above, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-14752 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-26999 are known.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In such a bus that has been widely used in the past, the position of the window glass above the front and rear body panels is higher than the height of the floor surface. To do this, standing on the ground and extending your hand only reached the bottom of the windowpane.

[0005] Therefore, although climbing to the bumper, a person who is still short cannot reach the upper part of the window glass, and recently, for the aesthetics of the bus, the bumper has a round shape and has a protruding shape. Because of the small amount, there is a risk of missing the foot.

Therefore, it was necessary to use a stepladder or the like, but even if the stepladder is used, the window glass of the bus also has a large lateral dimension, and if one step climbs to the stepladder, it is left. The window glass near both ends on the right is out of reach, and I sometimes use a ladder, but in the case of a ladder, it is troublesome to move up and down again many times.

Further, the cleaning worker needs to wipe the glass with one hand on the stepladder and support the body by touching the other hand with the body of the bus. If you neglect the act of supporting the body with your hands, it is easy to lose the balance of your body, and it becomes unstable and dangerous.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems with the conventional cleaning of the window glass on the front and rear surfaces of the bus, facilitates the cleaning operation of the window glass on the front and rear surfaces, and ensures the safety of the operation. With the goal.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention is characterized in that a lid, which is a part of the body panel, is provided on the body panel under the windows on the front and rear of the bus so as to be openable and closable by a hinge, and a retractable ladder is hingedly coupled to the back side of the lid. ..

[0010]

[Action]

 The front and rear body panels of the bus of the present invention form a wide step when a part of the body panel at the bottom of the window glass is opened by the hinge, and the ladder stored on the back side is rotated. If you lower it, you can climb the ladder and stand on the above step, and if you move left or right on this step, you can move it to near the left and right ends of the window glass, making it easy and safe. It can be cleaned.

[0011]

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a body panel on the front of a bus will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

The lid 3 is attached to the lower part of the window glass 1 on the front of the bus so that the lid 3 can be tilted forward by a hinge 2 provided at the bottom of the bus glass. When the lid 3 is tilted forward, the lid 3 is kept horizontal. The rear body of the lid 3 and the lid 3 are connected by a foldable link 4. As a means for holding the lid 3 horizontally, a chain or the like can be used instead of the link 4.

On the inner surface side of the lid 3, there is attached a flat striped plate 3a provided with striped ridges for preventing slippage, and this striped plate 3a is shown by a dotted line in FIG. , One end of a ladder 6 is pivotally attached to the inner surface of the lid 3 by a shaft 5, and the ladder 6 can be rotated by the shaft 5 as shown by the solid line in the figure to stand on the ground. You can do it.

An opening / closing lever 7 for the lid 3 is provided inside the vehicle, and the lid 3 is locked by a hook 8 and a lock 9 in an upright state so that the lid 3 is flush with the body panel. By pulling the opening / closing lever 7, the lock is released by the wire 10 connected to the opening / closing lever 7, and the lid 3 can be laid down horizontally.

Therefore, the ladder 6 can be climbed to stand on the lid 3 which is horizontally laid down, and the window glass 1 on the front of the bus can be cleaned while moving on the lid 3. After the completion of step 3, place the ladder 6 on the lid 3 as shown by the dotted line in the figure, and fold the link 4 so that the lid 3 stands up and is locked by the hook 8 and the lock 9. It becomes a part of the front body panel and does not spoil the shape of the bus.

Although the above has described the embodiment implemented on the body panel on the front surface of the bus, the invention can also be implemented on the body panel on the lower surface of the window glass on the rear surface of the bus.

[0017]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, in the present invention, since the ladder is built in the body panel of the bus, it is not necessary to carry a stepladder etc., and the lid provided on the body panel under the window glass is opened and closed. Since the ladder attached to the stand can be stood up and the ladder can be climbed to stand on the lid, the elevator can be easily moved up and down, and the window glass can be cleaned while moving left and right on the lid.

Therefore, unlike the conventional case, it is not necessary to move the stepladder to wipe the wide window glass over the width of the vehicle, and the depth of the lid can be made large, so that the risk of stepping off is reduced. This eliminates the danger of the stepladder falling over and stepping off the foot of a narrow stepladder, making it easier to clean the windows of the bus and improving its safety.
