Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is designed to efficiently suppress splashes that occur frequently when driving, especially when driving at high speeds, without impairing the ease of attaching and detaching wheels and tire chains used in snowy conditions. This invention relates to a splash prevention device for automobiles.

Conventional car splash boards or fenders are fixed to the car body or frame, so we took into account the ease of attaching and detaching wheels, tire chains, and the bulge of tire chains due to driving. Determining tire clearance.

However, increasing the tire clearance to improve the ease of attaching and detaching wheels and tire chains reduces the ability to prevent splashes such as rainwater or mud that occur frequently when driving at high speeds. If the tire clearance is reduced, the ease of attaching and detaching the wheels and tire chains will deteriorate, and at the same time, the tire chains will interfere with the splash board or fender.
In particular, if the chain were to break, there was a risk that the chain would collide with the splash board or fender, causing damage to various parts.

This idea was devised in view of the above circumstances, and the tire clearance is normally reduced to improve the splash prevention function, and when the wheels or tire chains are attached or removed, or when driving with the chains attached, the tire clearance is reduced. is made sufficiently large to improve the ease of attaching and detaching the tire and chain, and at the same time, even if the chain is cut off, it prevents the broken chain from colliding with the splash board, thereby preventing damage to various parts. A splash prevention device for an automobile is provided.

Hereinafter, this invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 3 showing one embodiment, 1 is a front wheel, 2 is a rear wheel, and a fender 4 is provided below a cab 3 to cover the top and front of the front wheel 1.

5 is a splash board that covers the rear of the front wheel 1 and the front and rear of the rear wheel 2, and its upper end is connected to the body of the car (
(including the fender 4) so as to be rotatable back and forth.

One end of a connecting plate 7 is removably connected and fixed to a protruding piece 6 provided at the middle part of this splash board 5, and the other end of this connecting plate 7 is removably connected to a protruding piece 8 provided on the body. At normal times, the splash board 5 is placed close to the wheels 1 and 2 as shown by solid lines in Figures 1 and 3 to reduce the tire clearance, and when the wheels 1 and 2 are attached or detached, when the tire chain is attached or detached, and when the chain is attached. When traveling, the connecting plate 7 is removed, the splash board 5 is rotated in a direction to separate it from the wheels 1 and 2, and both projecting pieces 6 are rotated.
, 8 are directly connected to increase tire clearance.

Note that the connecting plate 7 does not necessarily need to be attached or detached, and the attachment angle of the splash board 5 may be changed by expanding or contracting the connecting plate 7, or as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4.
As in the embodiment shown in the figure, a guide rail 10 with a plurality of mounting holes 9 is provided, a splash board 5 is attached to this guide rail 10, and this board 5 is slid back and forth at each pitch of the mounting holes 9. The structure of the support for the splash board 5 is arbitrary, such as being able to expand or narrow the tire clearance by dynamically displacing it.

11 is a mat guard suspended from the lower edge of the splash board 5, and 12 is a mounting screw.

As explained above, according to the splash prevention device of this invention, the tire clearance can be expanded or narrowed by moving the splash board toward and away from the wheels, so the tire clearance is always kept sufficiently small to prevent splashing efficiently. Not only can the tire clearance be sufficiently increased when the wheels and tire chains are attached or detached, but also when the chains are attached, the wheels and tire chains can be easily attached and detached, and at the same time, the bulges of the chains that occur as the vehicle is driven can be prevented. Not only when the chain breaks, but also when the chain breaks, interference between the chain and the splash board can be prevented, so damage to the splash board and parts around it can be reliably prevented.

Furthermore, since the splash boards that cover the front and rear of the wheels are independent, the tire clearance can be increased or narrowed by moving (rotating or sliding) the splash boards back and forth with sufficient space.

Therefore, there is no need to secure a special space for moving the splash board, and if the splash board should be damaged, only the damaged one needs to be replaced, which can reduce repair costs.
