Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a vehicle body stain preventing device, and more particularly to a vehicle body stain preventing device around a step.

[Prior Art] A headlamp finisher by the applicant of the present invention
To publicize No. 61-105244, headlamp finisher,
A technique has been shown to prevent rainwater from entering the air cleaner intake duct provided immediately after the headlamp by interposing an annular flexible sealing material in the gap between the headlamp and the headlamp rim that mounts it to the vehicle body. ing.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In FIG. 3, the lamp finisher 1 and the bumper 2 are shown.
The gap between and is usually blindfolded by a rubber finisher 3 which is a cover member.

The muddy water rolled up by the front vehicle adheres to the front part of the cab 4, that is, around the bumper. This muddy water flows from the outer surface of the finisher 3 to the rear end part, and then to the rear due to the air flow around the cab 1. Be skipped. However, the air flow a near step 5 is turbulent, and the muddy water that is blown off adheres to step 5 and the fender 6 and causes the cab 1 to become dirty.

On the other hand, regarding the corner deflector for preventing the side surface of the cab from being contaminated by the negative pressure of the corner portion of the cab 1, the present applicant has proposed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-106882 and Japanese Utility Model Application No. 62-142728. It does not solve the problem.

An object of the present invention is to propose a vehicle body stain prevention device that prevents stains around steps due to muddy water.

[Means for Solving the Problems] According to the present invention, the side portion of the cover member joined to the lower edge portion of the lamp finisher is wrapped around the vehicle side portion, and the lower edge portion of the wrapped side portion is bumpered. It is located below the upper surface, and a vertical groove is formed in the rear end portion of its side portion.

The position of the lower edge portion of the side portion of the cover member is preferably set to a position where the suction effect by the air flow on the upper surface of the bumper does not reach.

Further, it is preferable that the outer edge portion of the rear wall of the concave groove is formed outside the outer edge portion of the front wall of the vehicle.

[Operation] In the vehicle body stain preventing device configured as described above, the muddy water flowing along the outer surface of the cover member is dammed by the concave groove and flows down in the concave groove by gravity.

Further, the muddy water that has flowed down from the upper surface of the bumper is located on the back side of the bumper and therefore flows down relatively quickly without being affected by the air flow.

Therefore, muddy water is not splashed around the step,
Dirt is prevented.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, at the lower edge of the lamp finisher 1,
A finisher 10 made of a resin material or a rubber material, which is a cover member, is joined along the lower edge portion. In addition,
The finisher 10 can be formed integrally with the lamp finisher 1.

The lower edge portion 11 of the finisher 10 extends below the lower surface of the bumper 2 as a whole, but the portion 12 that wraps around the side portion of the cab 4 has the effect of sucking the air flow on the upper surface of the bumper 2. It is extended further down to a position that does not reach. A vertical groove 13 is formed at the rear end of the finisher.

In FIG. 2, the outer edge of the rear wall 14 of the groove 13 is formed slightly outward of the vehicle from the outer edge of the front wall 15. That is,
The rear wall 14 is projected higher than the front wall 15 by an amount H.

Therefore, the muddy water that has flowed along the outer surface of the finisher 10 is dammed by the concave groove 13 itself and the rear wall 14, flows down the concave groove 13 by gravity, and drops as water droplets A. At this time, since the water droplet A is at a position where the suction effect of the airflow flowing on the upper surface of the bumper 2 is not exerted, the water droplet A is not splashed backward.

Moreover, since the muddy water that has fallen from the upper surface of the bumper 2 is on the back surface of the bumper 2, it flows down relatively quickly without being affected by the air flow.

As described above, since the muddy water that has flowed on the outer surfaces of the finisher 10 and the bumper 2 both flows downward and is not blown to the lower side of step 5, the dirt of step 5 and the fender 6 due to the muddy water is reliably prevented.

[Advantages of the Invention] Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to prevent muddy water flowing on the upper surfaces of the cover member and the bumper downward, and prevent dirt on the step and fender due to muddy water.
