JPH1111346A - Roof panel for automobile - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a roof panel for an automobile preventing a water drop on a roof panel and a water drop containing wax applied onto the roof panel, from flowing down on a front window plate at rainfall time. SOLUTION: Along an upper front window molding 3, a water guide groove 4 is provided in a roof panel 5 over the length. That is, partly the roof panel 5 is tilted to a front part of an automobile, by operation of a sudden brake at running time, at rainfall time, a water drop on the roof panel 5, particularly a water drop containing wax applied to the roof panel, crosses over the upper window molding 3, even when the water drop tends to flow down on a front window plate 2, this water guide groove 4 prevents the water drop from flowing down, water is collected, so as to flow in both front door sides.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a roof panel in which water droplets on a roof panel of an automobile do not flow onto a front window plate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There is no automobile roof panel in which water droplets on a roof panel are prevented from flowing down to a front window plate.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, water droplets on a roof panel, particularly water droplets containing wax applied on the roof panel, flow down on a front window plate, thereby obstructing visibility and causing poor visibility. Therefore, the purpose is to solve this.

[0004] During heavy rain, a large amount of water drops from the roof panel flows down onto the front window plate and cannot be wiped out even with a wiper. Especially when driving a car during the night of heavy rain, water drops containing wax applied on the roof panel flow down and adhere to the front window plate, obstructing visibility, resulting in poor visibility, and it is difficult for drivers to drive Is to experience.
Also, once the wax adheres to the front window plate, it is difficult to remove the wax. For this reason, professional taxi drivers defend themselves by applying thick soap on the front window plate or cease to wax the roof panel.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the following automobile roof panel. A roof panel of an automobile, wherein a water-guiding groove is provided along a length along the upper windshield molding.

[0006]

According to the present invention, since the above-mentioned means are taken, a part of the roof panel is inclined toward the front of the vehicle, or a sudden brake is applied during running, so that water drops on the roof panel during rainy weather. In particular, even if water droplets containing wax applied to the roof panel try to flow down the front window plate beyond the upper window molding,
The ditches prevent this, collect the water, and allow it to flow to both front doors.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a part of an automobile.
It is a schematic sectional drawing of A. The required depth and width of the water intake groove may be as required. The shape of the above cross section is semicircular or V
And U-shape. Even if water droplets on the roof panel try to flow down the front window plate side over the upper window molding, they are interrupted and flow into the water channel, gather and flow down to the front doors.

[0008]

According to the present invention, the water droplets on the roof panel do not flow down on the front window plate during rainfall, and especially the water droplets containing wax do not flow down, so that the wax does not adhere to the front window plate.
Visibility is not hindered and visibility is good, and safe driving is possible.
