Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] This invention relates to an improvement of an automobile top cloth device.

For cars without a lid, the hood ribs are set up on the side frames of the car body and the hood cloth is placed on top.

Also, cover the door frame on the side of the vehicle to prevent wind and rain from entering the vehicle during winter and rainy weather.

Usually, hooks are provided along the edge of the hood cloth at predetermined intervals so that the hood cloth can be attached and attached by fitting into the hooks on the vehicle body.

Since the hooks are attached to the vehicle body at predetermined intervals, the hood cloth may sag between the hooks, causing the hood cloth to flap due to the wind while driving, or allowing wind to enter the passenger compartment through the sagging gaps. It's inconvenient.

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

In a car without a lid, a hood rib 2 in a reverse circular shape is erected on a side frame 1, and a hood cloth 3 is stretched so as to cover the hood rib 2.

Further, a door frame 4 is provided on the side of the vehicle body so as to be openable and closable, and a hood cloth 3 is also stretched over this door frame 4.

Accordingly, in the present invention, hooks 5 are provided at predetermined intervals along the edge of the hood cloth 3, and elastic strips 6 are sewn along the inside of the hooks 5 on the edge of the hood cloth 3 with a suture piece 7. .

The hook 5 of the hood cloth 3 is fitted into a fixed side hook 8 fixed to the side frame 1 or the door frame 4 to fix the hood cloth 3.

The effect will be explained.

When the hood cloth 3 is fastened to the side frame 1 or the door frame 4 by fitting the hooks 5 to the hooks 8, the elastic strips 6 are pressed and come into close contact with the side frame 1 or the door frame 4.

In this way, the edge of the hood cloth 3 touches the side frame 1 or the door frame 4 with the elastic strip 6, which prevents the edge of the hood cloth from flapping due to the wind while driving, and also reduces the gap. As a result, the amount of wind entering the passenger compartment can be reduced.

As explained above, in this invention, an elastic strip is sewn along the edge of the hook attached to the vehicle body at the end of the hood cloth, so that when the hook at the end of the hood cloth is fitted into the hook on the vehicle body side, , the elastic strip is pressed and comes into close contact with the vehicle body.

As a result, the gap between the end of the hood cloth and the vehicle body side can be reduced, and the intrusion of wind into the vehicle interior through the gap can be reduced.

Also, since the gap can be reduced, there is less chance of the hood flapping due to the wind while driving, which reduces flapping noise and makes it quieter.

Note that the elastic strip is suitably made of a soft material such as a sponge material, and can be wrapped in a suture piece and sewn together, so it is easy to manufacture and there is little increase in cost.

Also, the elastic strips do not get in the way when putting on and taking off.
The hood cloth can be easily attached and removed, and the elastic strips can also reinforce the edges of the hood cloth.
