Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an improved automobile hood that prevents rainwater from entering the single compartment from the upper edge of the door.

Open-top cars have hood ribs upright and covered with hood cloth in case of rain, and the entrance/exit doors on either side of the driver's seat are also fitted with frame ribs covered with hood cloth, and can be rotated. You can go in and out.

It looks like this. Since the door opens outward, it is located outside the canopy stretched over the vehicle body, and rainwater enters the passenger compartment through the gap at the upper edge of the door.

The bottom fabric is sewn above the upper edge of the door of the hood, but since the bottom fabric is the same as the hood and has a low waist, it cannot protrude for a long time.

Also, if it is too close to the top edge of the door, it may get caught when closing the door.
If it is not returned, a gap will be created and it will not serve as an eaves.

This invention has been improved in view of these points, and an embodiment of the invention shown in the drawings will be described below.

The open-top car 1 is covered with a hood cloth 2 to protect against rain, etc., and the left and right doors 3 are also simple, with a hood cloth stretched over the frame, and can be opened outward with hinges 4. It is possible to do so.

According to the present invention, the hood cloth 2 is stretched outwardly and upwardly from the upper frame 5 on the vehicle body side at the opening of the door 3.

The ends of the hood cloth 2 are fixed to the upper frame 5 with strings 6 or the like.

A bottom cloth 8 is sewn to the inclined part 7 of the hood cloth 2 along the upper edge of the door 3.

Then, the elastic band 9 is sewn to the back side of the upper half of the inclined part 7 in a stretched state.

In this way, folds 10 are formed in the upper half of the inclined portion 7.

The effect will be explained.

When the door 3 is open, as shown in FIG. 2, folds 10 are formed in the upper half of the inclined portion 7, and the bottom cloth 8 is pulled upward.

When the door 3 is closed against the upper frame 5, the lower part of the inclined part 7 is pushed by the upper edge of the door 3 and pressed against the upper frame 5, as shown in FIG.

Accordingly, the pleats 10 are stretched, and the bottom cloth 8 moves toward the upper edge of the door 3 and comes to cover the upper edge of the door 3.

In this way, the bottom cloth 8 moves away from the door 3 when the door 3 is opened, and approaches the double line of the door 3 when the door 3 is closed.

Therefore, the bottom cloth 8 does not get caught when the door 3 is closed, and when the door 3 is closed, it comes close to the upper edge of the door 3, providing sufficient rain protection.

As explained above, this invention involves stretching a hood cloth outward and upward from the top of the door opening, sewing a bottom cloth to the sloping part of the hood cloth along the upper edge of the door, An elastic band is sewn to the upper half of the slope, and when the door is opened, the elastic band forms folds in the upper half of the slope, and when the door is closed and placed on the bottom of the slope, the folds stretch and the bottom fabric stretches. Since the upper edge of the door is covered, the position of the bottom cloth moves up and down as the door is opened and closed.

Therefore, the bottom cloth does not get caught when closing the door, and when the door is closed, the bottom cloth is close to the upper edge of the door.
Since the gaps can be reduced, rainwater can be prevented from entering.

Further, since the elastic band is simply sewn to the hood cloth, the structure is simple and can be manufactured at low cost.
