Abstract

PURPOSE:To always maintain a rear part indicating part clean by providing an air introducing duct, which guides an air current flowing on an upper wall surface, along the outer surface of said rear part indicating part provided on a rear wall surface, in a bordering corner part between the upper wall surface and the rear wall surface of a car body. CONSTITUTION:An air introducing duct D for forcibly introducing an air current, flowing on the upper wall surface, onto a rear wall surface 3, is provided at a bordering corner part between the upper wall surface and the rear wall surface of a car body, i.e., on each right and left of the rear end edge of a tail gate G, in a car, e.g., a hatchback type car. This dust D is formed in a triangular shape, in its longitudinal section between outer and inner edge frame members 4a, 4b, and its introducing port 11 is opened toward the front of the car body, along the upper surface of the glass plate 5 of the tail gate G. Its jetting out port 12 is downwardly opened in a place above a rear lighting unit R. Thereby, air can be flowed along the outer surface of the lens 13 of the rear lighting unit R along the air introducing duct D, attaining the desired end.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device for cleaning the outer surface of rear display parts such as a rear lamp, a number plate 1, etc. provided on the rear wall of a vehicle body in an automobile.

It is difficult for the airflow flowing along the upper wall of the car to reach the rear wall of the car body, especially the rear wall of the car body which has a large bending angle with respect to the earthen wall. The outer surface of the rear display parts such as
Muddy water, dust, etc. thrown up by the rear wheels stain the outer surface of the vehicle and damage the appearance of the vehicle body, resulting in 5 inconveniences, but there is a way to solve these inconveniences that are common in conventional automobiles. was not taught.

Therefore, the present invention provides a cleaning device for a rear display part in an automobile, which keeps the rear display part clean at all times by forcibly guiding the airflow flowing along the earthen wall surface of the vehicle body so that it flows along the wall surface. The purpose is to provide

According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a rear light device is provided, in which an air flow flowing through the two walls of the vehicle body is provided on the rear wall surface at a boundary between the two wall surfaces and the rear wall surface of the vehicle body.
It is characterized in that an air introduction duct is provided on the outer surface 1 of the rear display part, which guides the air to flow downward.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings, in which the present invention is applied to a hatch bank type automobile.

Fig. 1 shows the rear part of a hatchbank type automobile, and at the rear of the earthen wall 1 of the car body B, there is a tail 1-G that slopes rearward from the ceiling surface and is rotatably hinged to the 2 parts. The rear opening 2 of the earth wall surface 1 of the vehicle body B can be opened and closed. The rear end edge of the tailgate G is slightly raised upward to form a so-called dunk tail shape.

The rear wall surface 3, which is bent at a substantially right angle and hangs downward from the earthen wall surface 1 of the vehicle body, has rear lamps R, / on both the left and right sides thereof.
? are provided, and a number play 1-N is provided between them.
will be provided.

Tailg-1/G has a glass plate 5 on a frame-shaped gate frame 4.
It is constructed by fitting. The rear end edge of the gate edge frame 4 is the second
As shown in Fig. 4, an outer edge frame member 4σ made of synthetic resin and an inner edge frame member 475 made of synthetic resin are polymerized and bonded with a gap therebetween, and a metal lining 4c is further lined on the back surface of the inner edge frame member 4h ( A part of the inner edge frame member 4b is reinforced by a metal reinforcing plate 4d.

The rear ψ11, 1 portion 5a of the glass plate 5 is inserted between the outer edge frame member 4a and the inner edge frame member 4h.

A plurality of brackets 6 are fixed to the back surface of the outer edge frame member 4a (not shown in FIG. 2.3).
Attach the bolt and nut 7 to the rear end 5a of the glass plate 5.
is fixed, and furthermore, the rear end portion 5a of the glass plate 5 is adhered with an adhesive 8 to the back surface of the front edge of the outer edge frame member 4a. In addition, the inner edge frame member 4b is also provided with a plurality of bolts and bolts 9 that connect the glass plate 5 through an elastic grommet 10.
The rear end portion 5a of is fixed.

At the boundary corners between the earthen wall surface 1 and the rear wall surface 3 of the vehicle body, that is, on the left and right rear edges of the tailgate 1-G, the airflow flowing through the two wall surfaces 1 is forcibly guided to the rear wall surface 3. Next, the structure of this air introduction duct I-1) will be explained mainly with reference to FIG. On the left and right of the rear edge, the outer and inner edge frame members 4
A, , 41i are formed in a triangular shape in longitudinal section m1, and the air inlet 11 of the air inlet duct D is opened toward the front of the vehicle body B on two sides of the glass plate 5 of the tailgate. Further, the spout 12 is opened downward above the rear lamp R. The opening area of the jet nozzle 12 is formed smaller than that of the inlet 11, and the air flowing into the air introduction duct D from the inlet 11 is vigorously jetted out from the jet nozzle 12 to the rear lamp. It flows cleanly to the R lens 13, that is, to the outer surface.

In the figure, 14 is a striker fixed to the lower edge of the tailgate G, and 15 is a seal rubber provided around the rear opening 2 of the vehicle body.

Next, to explain the operation of the embodiment of the present invention, when the car is running, most of the air flow along the two walls of the car body B is directed to the tail gas I as shown by the solid line arrow a in Figures 1 and 2.
A part of the air flow is introduced into the air introduction duct l-D from the left and right inlets 11 as shown by the solid line arrows in Figures 1 and 3, and flows downward within the duct D. While the direction is being changed, a clean and forceful jet is ejected from the spout 12 onto the outer surface of the lens 13 of the rear lamp H, blowing off muddy water, dust, etc. that have adhered or are about to adhere to the outer surface I~ , there is a method for cleaning the outer surface.

In the embodiment described above, a case was explained in which the outer surface of the rear lamp R was cleaned.
The air introduction duct l-1) may be provided at the left and right center portions of the rear edge to clean the number plates 1 and N.

As described above, according to the present invention, the air flow flowing through the two wall surfaces is transmitted to the boundary corner between the top wall surface and the rear wall surface of the vehicle body.
Air introduction tufts are installed to guide the air downward so that it flows cleanly on the outer surface of the rear display parts such as the rear lights and license plate installed on the rear wall, so that the air flow flowing on the upper wall of the vehicle is forced. The water flows downward along the outer surface of the rear display section to prevent muddy water, dust, etc. from adhering to the outer surface, and to keep the outer surface clean at all times, improving the appearance of the vehicle body. It is possible to improve the appearance of
