Description

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

Open-top cars can now be covered with a canopy during winter or rainy weather, and hood doors are installed at the entrances and exits to the left and right of the driver's seat to form a cabin that protects the vehicle from wind and rain. ing. A hood door is a door frame that is screwed to the vehicle body with a hinge on one side, and covered with hood cloth.The hood door can be opened and closed by operating handles on the inside and outside and unlatching it. Since it is dangerous if the outer handle protrudes outward, it is embedded within the door frame. In that case, it is necessary to push the hood cloth inward using a presser metal fitting so that it does not get in the way, which increases the manufacturing cost of the presser metal fitting and requires that the presser metal fitting also be attached and detached each time the hood cloth is attached or removed. Attaching and detaching work is troublesome.

This idea is an improvement based on these points.
Embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described below.

A door frame 1 has a front end rotatably hinged to a vehicle body 2 with a hinge 3, and is covered with a hood cloth 4. A handle shaft holding cylinder 5 is provided at the rear of the door frame 1, and a shaft 7 of the outer handle 6 is mounted on the door frame 1.
The inner handle 8 is connected to the inner side through the inner handle. The rear end of the inner handle 8 is formed into a latch 9, which is hooked onto a fixed piece of the vehicle body 2. The handles 6 and 8 are rotated,
Perform the latching/unlatching operation of latch 9. The hood cloth 4 has a through hole 11 with an eyelet 10 at a predetermined position, and a handle shaft holding cylinder 5
Insert into. The outer handle 6 is provided with protrusions 12 protruding inward at its base and tip, and the protrusions 12 press the hood cloth 4 inward.

The effect will be explained.

When attaching the canopy cloth 4 to the door frame 1, fit the through hole 11 into the handle shaft holding cylinder 5, pass the shaft 7 of the outer handle 6 through the handle shaft holding cylinder 5, and insert the inner handle 8 inside the shaft 7. Connect with bolts. In this way, the outer handle 6 becomes
It can be set in a position that does not protrude outward from the hood cloth 4,
At the outer handle 6 portion, the hood cloth 4 is pushed inward by the protrusion 12, so a gap is created between the outer handle 6 and the hood cloth 4 to insert a hand, and when operating the outer handle 6, the hood cloth 4 is pushed inward. The cloth 4 no longer gets in the way.

As explained above, this invention is based on an automobile hood door in which a hood cloth is stretched over the door frame.
By inserting and mounting the handle shaft of the outer handle, which has protrusions projecting inwardly on the base and tip portions, into the handle shaft holding cylinder, the outer surface of the outer handle is almost flush with the outer surface of the door frame. Since it is attached to the door frame and the hood cloth is pressed inward by the protrusion, the outer handle can be prevented from protruding outward from the hood cloth, and the hood cloth can be pressed inward by the protrusion of the outer handle. This creates a gap for inserting your hand inside the outer handle, and the hood cloth does not get in the way of operation. In addition, there is no need for metal fittings to hold down the hood cloth, making it possible to reduce the cost, and the hood cloth can be attached and detached simply by removing the outer handle, making the task of attaching and detaching the hood cloth easier.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] In an automobile hood door in which a hood cloth is stretched over the door frame, a through-hole provided in the hood cloth is inserted into a handle shaft holding cylinder, and an outer handle is provided with protrusions projecting inward at the base and tip. By inserting and mounting the handle shaft into the handle shaft holding cylinder, it is attached to the door frame so that its outer surface is approximately flush with the outer surface of the door frame, and the hood cloth is pressed inward by the projection. An automobile hood door characterized by the following features:
