RU2752583C1 - Protective shield of automobile windshield wipers - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: vehicles.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to vehicle protecting tools and can be used by automobile owners for protection of automobile windshield wipers from icing and freezing to the windshield during the cold season of the year and intake of dust and small elements of flora and fauna by the cabin filter of the automobile. The protective shield of automobile windshield wipers is located in the space between the windshield and the hood of the automobile directly above the windshield wipers, is attached by movable connections to the body of the automobile and has a movement drive electric engine synchronised with the operation of the windshield wipers of the automobile. The shield is equipped with a soft tape attached to the shield so that in the event of slow response or failure of the electric engine of the shield the soft tape material allows the wipers to easily come out from and return under the shield.

EFFECT: creating a protective shield preventing the windshield wipers from being exposed to dust or precipitation in form of snow and from freezing to the windshield, a shield allowing the wipers to freely leave and return to the under-shield space.

Description

The invention relates to a means of protecting a vehicle, namely to equipment for covering only specific elements of the vehicle.

From the prior art there is known a fairing for car wiper blades, comprising a base surface, characterized in that at least one recess is made on said base surface, communicating with the air intake when installed on the upper surface of the front of the car and with the environment from the side opposite windshield (Patent for PM No.: 17890 class MPK7: 7 B60J 10/00, published on 05/10/2001).

The design of the known device was created only to improve the operation of wipers at high speeds and does not allow protecting the wipers from freezing and adhesion of snow.

Most cars are outdoors during day or night parking. In winter, snow is a frequent occurrence, which accumulates in the space between the windshield and the hood, where the windshield wipers are located. In order to rid this space of snow, you need to make a lot of effort and time. Difficulties in this process are added by the temperature difference, which causes the wipers to freeze to the windshield.

During autumn and summer, a large amount of dust, insects and leaves enter the openings located in the space between the windshield and the hood of the car, which leads to a deterioration in the operation of the ventilation system and the frequent replacement of the cabin filter of the car.

The object of the invention is to provide a device that protects the space between the glass and the hood from snow accumulation, which does not require constant installation and removal, like car covers and various fabric capes, the invention, which protects the wipers from freezing during parking.

This task is achieved by the fact that the protective visor of the wipers, located in the space between the windshield and the hood of the car, directly above the wipers, is made of dense material, equipped with a soft tape attached to the visor, which, together with the visor itself, completely encloses the space around the wipers from the ingress of snow, dust and various particles. In this case, the visor itself is attached by movable joints to the car body and can be moved aside for periodic maintenance of the wipers.

The essence of the invention is illustrated by drawings, where:

FIG. 1 is a general top view;

FIG. 2 - general view 3/4;

FIG. 3 - general view 3/4 from below;

FIG. 4 is a general side view (section);

FIG. 5 - image simulating the situation with precipitation (cross-section);

FIG. 6 is an image showing the consistency of the operation of the visor and the washers.

A protective visor for vehicle wipers consists of a visor made of a hard but light material (plastic, carbon, polypropylene, etc.) - 1 and a tape of soft material (rubber, silicone) attached to it - 2. Visor - 1 is attached to the hood of the car with the help of guides - 3, inserted into the roof rails - 4, located on the hood - 12 of the car. Also in the lower part of the visor - 1 there are toothed bands - 5, the teeth of which are aligned with the toothed gear - 6 of the electric motor - 11, which is connected to the car's electrical circuit and synchronized with the wipers. When the wipers are turned on - 10, the electric motor - 11 is triggered, which, by rotating the gears - 6, displaces the toothed belt - 3, which in turn shifts the visor - 1 along the guides -4, thus freeing up space for the wipers to work - 10. When disconnected wipers - 10 the electric motor returns the visor - 1 to its original position. Even with a slow operation of the electric motor - 11 or its failure, the soft material of the tape - 2 allows the wipers - 10 to easily go out from under the visor - 1 and come back.

Claims (5)

1. A protective visor for car wipers, located in the space between the windshield and the hood of the car directly above the wipers, attached by movable joints to the body of the car, and having a movement drive electric motor synchronized with the operation of the windshield wipers of the car, characterized in that it is equipped with a soft tape attached to the visor so that in case of a slow operation of the electric motor of the visor drive or its failure, the soft material of the tape allows the wipers to easily go out from under the visor and return back. 2. A protective visor for car wipers according to claim 1, characterized in that the soft tape is made of rubber. 3.
