The auxiliary rectifying member 50 of FIG. 10 employs a transparent plate 52 of polycarbonate or the like, but like the rectifying member 6, if the rectifying net is held by a frame and a bracket 54 is attached to this frame, it can be changed according to the season. A rectifying net having a different mesh size can be used, and the amount of air passing through the auxiliary rectifying member 50 can be appropriately adjusted.

Further, instead of the transparent plate 42 shown in FIG. 7, punching metal having innumerable relatively large openings (for example, rectangular openings of 4 mm square or circular openings of 4 mm diameter) is used for the upper and lower main frames 8 and 10. This punching metal is used as it is as a rectifying member in the season when the temperature is relatively high, such as in summer, while in the season when it is easy to survive like spring or autumn,
The amount of air passing through the rectifying member can be adjusted by a simple operation of simply pasting a mesh sheet with innumerable small openings and adhesiveness from the back of the punching metal, and the vortex flow from the back can be adjusted. Can be rectified.

As this mesh sheet, a commercially available one can be used, and it is not necessary to newly produce it exclusively for the rear rectifying plate 2 according to the present invention.

When a large mesh size is adopted as the rectifying net 28 of FIG. 6, when the temperature is relatively high, the rectifying net 28 is used as it is,
When it is cool, as shown in FIG. 12, a second rectifying member 58 having a seat 60 having a mesh size smaller than that of the rectifying net 28 is attached from the rear of the rectifying net 28 to appropriately adjust the airflow flowing from the rear of the seat. be able to.

More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the mesh sheet 60 is stretched around the wire 62 by sewing the periphery of the mesh sheet 60 to the wire 62 bent into a substantially rectangular shape. The mounting portion 62a of the resin holder 64 is formed by cutting out, for example, four places on the periphery of the sheet 60. The inner surface of the holder 64 corresponds to the outer surface shape of the upper or lower main frames 8 and 10, and the projection 64a having an arc-shaped cross section formed on the inner surface of the holder 64 is provided on the upper or lower main frames 8 and 10.
By engaging with the arcuate grooves 8a, 10a of
The rectifying member 58 is held by the main frames 8 and 10.

Further, a transparent sheet can be used instead of the mesh sheet 60. When a transparent sheet is used, the amount of air flowing from the rear side of the sheet to the front side can be suppressed.

In the above embodiment, the rear rectifying plate 2 according to the present invention is held by the rod 4 which connects the seat belt anchors provided on the rear side of the seat S to each other. The rear rectifying plate can be attached to any open car by appropriately changing the shape.
