Description

Windshield Folding Device for Automotive

The present invention relates to a windshield folding device for automobiles. More specifically, the windshield can be folded to a certain width by folding the windshield located at the rear of the engine room and the front of the passenger compartment to maintain a comfortable state inside the passenger compartment. The present invention relates to the provision of a shield folding device.

The windshield means a front glass that is located at the rear of the engine room and is fixed on the front pillar. The wind shield prevents the inflow of wind while driving to facilitate the securing of the front clock.

In the case of such a windshield and a rear window, the opening is impossible because it is fixed on the pillar.

Therefore, indoor and outdoor air must be circulated in order to maintain a comfortable state when the passenger compartment is muddy due to factors such as breathing or smoking of the passenger while driving or stopping.

However, the windshield of the prior art has a windshield 5 between the front side of the roof panel 3 and the front pillar 4 on the upper surface of the rear cowl tower 2 of the engine room 1, as shown in FIG. ) Is fixed in a solid state.

In the prior art as described above, since the windshield 5 is constructed in a state in which folding is impossible, the air is circulated by opening the sunroof installed on the roof or the side window glass 7 installed on the door 6. It maintains a comfortable interior.

In particular, in summer, when the outside temperature increases, indoor air is heated to a high temperature when parked outside for a long time, and the circulation of the heated air is impossible, so that the driver and the rider have a significant discomfort when riding.

In order to solve such discomfort, some drivers may lower the side window glass by a certain amount, but the effect is insignificant and there is a possibility that the items inside the vehicle may be stolen.

In addition, in the case of a vehicle having a sunroof, the sunroof may be slightly open or open, but this is also inconvenient because there is a risk of theft, such as when the side window glass is opened without a smooth air circulation.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and the windshield or rear window is configured to be foldable to a certain width, and the folding angle can be freely adjusted to facilitate the circulation of air inside and outside the air. The purpose is to maintain the room.

In order to help circulation of the indoor air of the vehicle 10 to maintain a comfortable interior, the present invention is configured to be capable of folding the windshield 11 or the rear window.

Windshield folding device 15 for automobiles for achieving the above object is as follows.

The upper end of the windshield 11 is fixed to the roof panel 16 and the hinge 17 so that the lower side of the windshield 11 may be opened from the cowl top 18 about the hinge 17. do.

The hinge plates 20 formed on both sides of the hinge shaft 19 of the hinge 17 are fixed to the roof panel 16 and the wind shield 11 by bolts or riveting, respectively, and fixed to the wind shield 11. The hinge plate 20 may be prevented from interfering with the foreign matter and moisture penetration through the molding material 21.

The central portion of both sides of the windshield 11 is provided with a support 25 for maintaining the open windshield 11 is open.

The support 25 is;

The front pillar 26 and the lower link 27 to which the movement is freely fixed, and the bracket 28 fixing the windshield 11 and the upper link 29 to which the movement is fixed freely.

The lower end of the upper link 29 is fixed to the nut 29 'by the fixing protrusion 30 and the butterfly bolt 31 protruding from the upper side of the lower link 27 freely fixed.

The long link 32 is formed in the center of the upper link 29 in the longitudinal direction to change the fixing position of the upper link 29 and the lower link 27 so as to select the opening degree of the windshield 11.

The lower link 27 is configured to be a stopper of the upper link 29 at the same time when the support 25 is folded and unfolded by the frame body having a roughly X-shaped cross section.

Of course, when the windshield 11 is not extended on the support 25 and the front pillar 26, a general hook that is composed of a hook hook or a lever to prevent the windshield 11 from being separated by vibration, etc. It is preferable to have a means, and it is natural to provide an airtight material between the windshield 11 and the front pillar 26 to prevent the possibility of foreign matter and moisture penetration.

In another embodiment of the upper link 29, a plurality of fitting grooves 33 and 34 are inclined integrally with the long hole 32 formed in the upper link 29 so that the shaft portion of the butterfly bolt 31 is fitted. It is a configuration to freely adjust the opening angle without releasing the bolt (31).

The operation of the present invention configured as described above;

In the initial state in which the windshield 11 is not opened, the windshield 11 is prevented from moving by the usual locking means provided in the support 25 and the front pillar 26, and the wind shield 11 and the front pillar are By the airtight material and the molding material 21 interposed between the 26 and the roof panel 16, foreign matter, moisture, and the like are prevented from penetrating into the passenger compartment.

In such a state, when the indoor air is to be exchanged to maintain a comfortable state, the lower link 27 and the upper link 29 constituting the support 25 are folded by releasing the locking means and pushing the windshield 11. Unfolds from

When the support 25 is unfolded, the windshield 11 has a lower end portion spreading upwards around the hinge 17 fixing the windshield 11 and the roof panel 16 so that the outside air is inside the passenger compartment. It will be able to maintain a comfortable indoor space flowed into.

In the case where the windshield 11 is to be kept open, the support 25 is extended to the end to maintain the upper link 29 and the lower link 27 in a straight line, and the folding direction (→) is the opposite direction. When folded to the upper link 29 is locked to the upper end of the fixing projections 30 of the lower link 27 it is possible to maintain the open state.

In order to close the open windshield 11, open the support 25 to align the lower link 27 and the upper link 29 in a straight line, and then fold the support 25 in the direction (←). You lose.

In addition, when the opening degree is to be adjusted in the state in which the windshield 11 is opened, the upper bolt 29 and the lower link 27 are loosened to the extent that they can move, and then the upper The opening degree of the windshield 11 is adjusted while lowering or raising the link 29.

Then, when the windshield 11 reaches the desired position, it is possible to maintain the adjusted state by tightening the loosening bolt 31 again to a firm state so that the lower link 27 and the upper link 29 do not move. .

In another embodiment, the opening angle of the windshield 11 can be easily adjusted without loosening the butterfly bolt 31.

This adjusts the opening angle of the windshield 11 because the shaft portion of the butterfly bolt 31 supports the upper link 29 while being inserted into the fitting grooves 33 and 34 formed integrally with the long hole 32. If desired, it can be made simply by inserting the shaft portion of the butterfly bolt 31 into the fitting grooves (33, 34) of the desired position.

Of course, the hinge 17 is positioned at the lower end of the windshield 11 and the support 25 for maintaining the open state of the windshield 11 is located on the upper side of the windshield 11 to the windshield 11 Of course, the simple design change or the position change such that the upper side of the folding is open (opened) will be within the scope of the present invention.

The present invention as described above can be configured to fold the windshield or the rear window to a certain width, and at the same time can easily adjust the opening angle of the windshield can actively maintain the indoor and outdoor air circulation to maintain a comfortable room, etc. Has an effect.
