TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a rear wiper cover.

<Prior Art> Conventional rear wiper covers include, for example, those shown in FIGS. 3 to 5. Rear wiper cover 1
Is a rear wiper unit for operating the notch hole 5 and the rear wiper 6 formed in the rear parcel board 4 arranged between the rear surface of the rear seat back 2 and the rear window glass 3 in the vicinity of the rear window glass 3. The cover [not shown] is provided in order to conceal the appearance from the outside, and is mainly composed of a cover body 7 and a boss portion 8 integrally provided on the cover body 7. Then, the rear wiper cover 1 is positioned in the notch hole 5, and the rear wiper cover 1 is fixed to the boss 8 with screws 13 from the rear surface 12 of the rear parcel board 4 (the lower surface in FIG. 4). Notch hole 5 fixed on board 4
Also, the rear wiper unit (not shown) is hidden from the outside. Incidentally, 9 indicates a rear wiper shaft.

The rear wiper cover 1 is fixed on the rear parcel board 4 with screws 13, but there is also a rear wiper cover 16 as shown in FIG. The rear wiper cover 16 includes a cover body 7 and a resinous nail body 17.
Is integrally provided, and the nail body 17 is provided with the notch body 5
By pushing it from above and pushing it from above, the claw body 17 penetrates the notch hole 5 to reach the back surface 12 of the rear parcel board 4, and is locked at the edge of the notch hole 5, so that the rear wiper cover 16 is fitted to the rear parcel. The notch hole 5 and the rear wiper unit portion (not shown) are locked on the board 4 to be hidden from the outside.

<Problems of the prior art> However, such a conventional "rear wiper cover"
In that case, there is room for improvement in workability when it is necessary to remove the "rear wiper cover" for repairing the rear wiper 6 and the rear wiper unit (not shown) or for other reasons.

That is, the rear wiper cover 1 shown in FIG. 4 is fixed to the boss portion 8 from the rear surface 12 of the rear parcel board 4 with screws 13, and cannot be removed from the upper side of the rear parcel board 4, so the rear seat back 2 is removed. It was indispensable, and the workability and serviceability were correspondingly low.
Further, since it is necessary to attach the rear wiper cover 1 to the rear parcel board 4 in advance prior to assembling the rear parcel board 4 of the vehicle body, it is easy to be restricted by the assembly process in the factory line, and the rear wiper cover is also attached. Since 1 is attached first, the flat rear parcel board 4 that can be piled up originally cannot be piled up because the rear wiper cover 1 is a protruding portion, and it is bulky for storage at the time of factory delivery or after delivery. It was

The rear wiper cover 16 shown in FIG. 5 can be removed from the upper side of the rear parcel board 4, but the rear wiper cover 1
The rear parcel board 4 has a notch hole 5 formed in the vicinity of the rear window glass 3 for attaching the
Since the rear window glass 3 is pressed diagonally above the notch 5 [upward in FIG. 5] so that the rear wiper cover 16 can be pulled upward when removing it,
The rear window glass 3 is an obstacle and is hard to remove, and the rear wiper cover 16 including the claw body 17 is often made of resin. Therefore, the claw body 17 may be deformed by heat or vibration. It becomes easy to rattle, and in extreme cases, the engagement between the rear parcel board 4 and the claws 17 may be disengaged.

The present invention was made by paying attention to such a conventional technique, and it is inserted from a substantially horizontal direction along the upper surface of the rear parcel board into a notch hole formed in a portion of the rear parcel board near the rear window glass.・ The purpose is to provide a rear wiper cover that can be engaged.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the rear wiper cover according to the present invention has a rear parcel board with respect to a notch formed in a portion of the rear parcel board in the vicinity of the rear window glass. A clip that can be inserted / engaged along the upper surface of is fixed to the bottom surface of the cover body with a screw,
Further, a downward bent portion for engaging with the rear surface of the rear parcel board and a downward slope portion for engaging guide which is continuous with the bent portion are further provided at the tip of the inserting / engaging direction of the clip. The gist of the present invention is that each of the base ends in the inserting / engaging direction of the clip is provided with a rising slope portion for a stopper that is continuous with the downward bending portion and engages with the edge portion of the cutout hole.

<Operation> When the rear wiper cover is moved along the upper surface of the rear parcel board toward the notch formed near the rear window glass of the rear parcel board, it is screwed to the position corresponding to the bottom surface of the cover body. The downward slope of the provided clip functions as a guide for the engagement, and the clip naturally enters the back side of the rear parcel board. If the rear wiper cover is inserted as it is, the downward bent portion engages with the rear parcel board while supporting the rear surface of the rear parcel board. Further, at the base end in the inserting / engaging direction of the clip, a downward bending portion and a rising slope portion for a stopper continuously provided thereat are sequentially engaged with the edge portion of the cutout hole, so that the downward downward movement is first made. The bent portion causes a click feeling, and the rising slope portion then exerts a stopper function to complete the inserting / engaging process.

If it is necessary to remove the rear wiper cover, move the rear wiper cover along the upper surface of the rear parcel board in the opposite direction, and first, the engagement between the rising slope for the stopper at the base end of the clip and the edge of the cutout hole. The rear wiper cover can be removed almost along the upper surface of the rear parcel board by pulling the whole bent diagonally upward as the bent part and the downward slope of the clip are retracted into the notch hole. The rear window glass that covers the upper part of the notch hole does not get in the way, improving workability and serviceability, and it is possible to attach it to the rear parcel board at the time of installation, so it can be attached at any time. Since it can be installed, workability in the factory will be improved.

<Examples> Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings of FIGS. 1 and 2. The same parts as those in the prior art are designated by the same reference numerals, and the duplicate description will be omitted. The rear wiper cover 30 is provided with clips 32 fixed by screws 31 at four boss portions 8 provided at positions corresponding to the bottom surface of the cover body 7. Rear parcel board 4
