Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To provide a vehicle body corner confirmation tool that can be mounted on a front or rear corner of a vehicle in good appearance and securely. [Structure] An outward-facing arm is integrally or horizontally rotatably connected to a tip of a mounting plate fixed on a bent portion formed inside an upper end of a fender apron, and a short end is provided at the tip of the arm. Establish a pole. [Effect] Since only the arm and the pole are attached so as to project from the vehicle body, the appearance of the vehicle is not damaged. No vibration noise is generated when the car is running. When pivotally mounting the arm on the mounting plate, the position of the pole can be adjusted by rotating the arm.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a vehicle body corner checking tool for easily checking a front or rear corner of a vehicle body during driving.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As a vehicle body corner confirming tool, it is known that a pole is set up on a mounting member fixed to a corner portion of a bumper, and an upper end of the pole is projected slightly above an upper surface of a fender.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Since such a known vehicle body corner confirmation tool is mounted in a state where the pole is set up from the bumper, the pole becomes long, and the entire confirmation tool is mounted exposed to the outside of the vehicle body, so that the appearance of the vehicle itself is improved. It had the drawback of being damaged. In addition, since the pole is long, there is a drawback that vibration noise is generated during traveling.

An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle body corner confirmation tool that can be attached to a front or rear corner of a vehicle in a good appearance.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the vehicle body corner confirmation tool of the present invention has an outwardly extending arm connected to the tip of a mounting plate fixed on a bent portion formed inside the upper end of a fender apron in the vehicle body. However, it is characterized by establishing a pole at the tip of this arm.

The base end of the arm may be pivotally attached to the tip of the mounting plate so that the arm can horizontally rotate.

[0007]

[Action]

 Fix the mounting plate on the bent recess formed inside the upper end of the fender apron, and immediately on the recess that supports the side end of the bonnet with screws or adhesive, and project the arm in front of the fender. At this time, the upper end of the pole established from the arm projects upward from the front end of the front fender apron or the rear end of the rear fender apron, so that the corner of the vehicle body can be seen in the driver's seat.

When the base end of the arm is horizontally rotatably attached to the tip of the attachment plate, the arm can be turned in accordance with the shape of the front end or the rear end of the fender so that the turning arm is rotated. The boom and pole can be attached to the car body in a familiar manner.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a case of being fixed to a front corner as an example of the present invention, in which an arm 2 facing outward is integrally connected to a tip of a metal mounting plate 1. A plastic pole 3 is established at the tip of the arm 2.

A long hole 4 is formed in the metal mounting plate 1 in the longitudinal direction, and the tip of a screw 5 penetrating the long hole 4 is formed into a bent concave portion formed inside the upper end of the front fender apron 6. The mounting plate 1 is fixed by screwing the mounting plate 1. The pole 3 has a length such that it slightly protrudes upward from the front end of the fender apron 6. Reference numeral 8 is an engine room, 9 is a headlamp, and 10 is a bumper.

2 and 3 show another embodiment, in which the base end of the plastic arm 2 is attached to the tip of the metal mounting plate 1 by a shaft 11 so as to be horizontally rotatable. is doing. In this case, the plastic arm 2 and the pole 3 are integrally molded.

In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, the mounting plate 1 is formed in advance so as to fit in the folding concave portion 7 of the fender apron 6, and the mounting plate 1 is made of a bendable metal plate. In some cases, this may be bent and fixed to the fender apron 6 depending on the vehicle type.

The attachment plate 1 may be fixed to the fender apron 6 by screwing it as in the above-mentioned embodiment or by using a double-sided adhesive tape. In the latter case, the long hole 4 is unnecessary. It is also possible to provide a light emitting member at the tip of the pole 3 so that the corner of the vehicle body can be easily confirmed even at night.

[0014]

[Effect]

 The vehicle body corner confirming tool according to the present invention is to be fixed on a folding recess formed inside the upper end of the fender apron, the mounting plate is covered with a bonnet or a trunk lid, and only the arm and the short pole are separated from the vehicle body. Since it is mounted in a protruding state, it can be mounted in a good appearance without damaging the appearance of the car.

The mounting plate fixed on the folding recess formed inside the upper end of the fender apron has its upper surface pressed by the bonnet or the trunk lid, so that the mounting plate is loosened by screws or double-sided tape due to vibration of the vehicle. And the pole is short, so there is no fear of generating an unpleasant vibration noise during traveling.

When the base end of the arm is horizontally rotatably attached to the tip of the mounting plate, the arm can be rotated so as to fit the shape of the front end or the rear end of the fender, and The position of the pole can be changed appropriately.

When the mounting plate is formed of a bendable metal plate, it is possible to provide a versatile plate.
