PREVENTING FROM FLOWING INTO VEHICLE

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a rainwater control apparatus for

preventing from flowing into a vehicle, and in particular to a rainwater control

apparatus for preventing from flowing into a vehicle in which it is possible to

prevent passenger from getting wet and preventing an indoor pollution of a

vehicle as rainwater is inputted into the interior of the vehicle when passenger

gets on or off the vehicle.

Background Art

Recently, there are frequent yellow dust rain or acid rain. So as to

prevent any damages due to the yellow dust rain or acid rain, it is needed not to

wet by rainwater and to keep a clean state. Namely, it is known that the yellow

dust rain or acid rain could cause lose of hair or skin diseases. Therefore, so as

to decrease the above damage, the yellow dust rain or acid rain should be

avoided from wetting.

However, when it rains or snows, passenger become wet while they get

on or off, folding or unfolding an umbrella. Namely, in the conventional vehicle,

passenger frequently gets wet by rainwater or snow while they open the door of the vehicle and folds the umbrella, so that the passenger could be damaged by

the yellow rain dust or acid rain. Therefore, it is urgently needed to develop an

apparatus by which passenger can get on or off the vehicle without getting wet

by rainwater or snow.

problems encountered in the conventional art.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a rainwater

control apparatus for preventing flowing into a vehicle in which it is possible to

prevent a passenger's clothes from getting wet or preventing an indoor pollution

as rainwater is inputted into the interior of a vehicle while passenger get on or

off the vehicle during a rain or snow fall.

To achieve the above objects, there is a rainwater control apparatus for

preventing flowing into a vehicle which comprises a multiple step cut-off layer

which is installed in the interior of a roof panel and is positioned at an upper side

of a door of a vehicle and is extended outward for thereby covering an upper

side of the door, with a small diameter part being inserted into a large diameter

part for thereby adjusting the length, and with the multiple step cut-off layer

As shown in the drawings, the present invention is provided with a cut¬

off layer 110. The cut-off layer 110 is provided at an upper side of each door 102

of the vehicle 100 and is extended from a roof panel 104. The cut-off layer 110

is formed of a plurality of sliding plates 112a, 112b, ..., with a length being adjustable in such a manner that a small diameter part is inserted into a large

diameter part for thereby covering the upper side of the door 102.

Here, the cut-off layer 110 is formed in multiple steps and is folded or

unfolded based on a telescope method for thereby providing a cut-off layer at

the upper side of the door. With the above construction, passenger cannot get

wet using the cut-off layer 110 when getting on or off the vehicle. Namely, the

multiple step cut-off layer 110 is formed in an ordinary structure like an

extendable fishing rod or an extendable antenna, with the length of the same

being adjustable. The multiple step telescope rod is applied in the type of a

sliding plate shape. Therefore, the sliding plates, which form the multiple step

cut-off layer, is constructed in such a manner that a small diameter part is

inserted into a large diameter part for thereby adjusting the length.

The multiple step cut-off layer 110 can be adapted to all types of

vehicles. As shown in Figures 1 through 4, it can be installed at a car. In

addition, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, it can be installed at a large size vehicle.

In particular, even when the cut-off layer 110 is installed at the car, as shown in

Figures 1 and 2, a sunroof can be installed at the roof panel 104 of the car. The

above operation can be possible since the cut-off layer 110 is folded or unfolded

based on the sliding method, and a large space is not used when folding or

unfolding the same. As shown in the drawings, the present invention is provided with a

driving unit 120. The driving unit 120 includes a driving part 122 for

automatically slide-driving the multiple step cut-off layer 110, and a power unit

124 for supplying power to the driving unit 122. The driving unit 120 includes a

remote controller 126, so that the driving unit 122 can be operated based on an

operation of the remote controller 126.

The driving part 122 of the driving unit 120 and the circuit apparatus

connected with the driving part 122 are implemented based on the ordinary

technology. In particular, the power unit 124 may be formed of the battery

provided at the vehicle 100.

The present invention may be provided with a transmitter or a receiver

so that signals are transmitted to or received from the remote controller so as to

achieve the operation using the remote controller 126. The above construction

is preferably formed in the ordinary technology.

As shown in the drawings, the present invention is provided with a light

emitting lamp 130 and an obstacle sensor 132.

The light emitting lamp 130 and the obstacle sensor 132 are turned on

based on receiving the power from the power unit 124 and are installed along

the rim of the cut-off layer 110. The light emitting lamp 130 is preferably installed

at the front and rear sides of the cut-off layer 110. The obstacle sensor 132 is preferably installed at the front end of the cut-off layer 110. Here, the electric

connection between the light emitting lamp 130 and the obstacle sensor 132

and the power unit 124 is performed using an electric cable in the conventional

method. In particular, when a certain obstacle is detected by the obstacle

sensor 132, the extension of the cut-off layer 110 is stopped. The above

operation may be implemented with the conventional art.

The light emitting lamp 130 emits light along the rim of the cut-off layer

110 in a state that the cut-off layer 110 is slid and unfolded, so that people's

attention may be attracted at the surrounding portions of the cut-off layer 110,

whereby it is possible to prevent the pedestrian or passenger from colliding with

the cut-off layer 110. The obstacle sensor 132 prevents collision with obstacles

when the cut-off layer 110 is extended, and it is possible to prevent any error of

the rainwater control apparatus according to the present invention. Namely, it is

possible to prevent collision as the rainwater control apparatus of the present

invention is stopped based on the operation of the sensor before the collision

occurs as the obstacle sensor 132 detects the obstacle.

According to the present invention, when passenger gets on or off the

vehicle in rain or snow, the cut-off layer 110 is slid and extended. In this state,

the passenger gets on or off, so that they cannot become wet.

In particular, in the present invention, rainwater is prevented from being inputted into the vehicle by the cut-off layer 110. It is possible to prevent the

passenger's clothes from getting wet or prevent the indoor pollution. The

present invention can operate by the remote controller 126, so that a desired

convenient operation can be obtained.

In addition, the present invention may be well adapted to a common

vehicle, a high height leisure vehicle, a bongo vehicle, a large size bus, a cargo

vehicle, etc. In particular, when the present invention is adapted to the business

vehicle, the inherent functions of the present invention can be more efficiently

obtained while the passenger gets on or off the vehicle.

Industrial Applicability

As described above, in the present invention, the passenger gets on or

off in a state that the cut-off layer is extended when the passenger gets on or off

in rain or snow. With the above operation, the passenger doe not get wet or the

rainwater is not inputted into the interior of the vehicle, so that the indoor

pollution is prevented.
