Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to an improvement of a head guard installed on an industrial vehicle such as a forklift vehicle.

Conventional technology For example, as a conventional head guard,
There is one as seen in Publication No. 58-46676.
As shown in Fig. 5, this head guard has a rain cover 22 with a transparent part 21 disposed on the front side removably placed on the top surface of the head guard main body. According to this, it is possible to avoid rainwater. At the same time, the transparent portion 21 makes it possible to secure the visibility in front of the upper part of the driver's seat.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, according to this type of head guard, if the transparent part 21 becomes dirty due to changes over time and it becomes difficult to secure a view in front of the upper part of the driver's seat, the rain cover 22 is removed as an integral part. Because of this structure, the entire rain cover 22 had to be replaced, which was uneconomical.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a vehicle head guard for an industrial vehicle that does not become uneconomical when the transparent part becomes dirty and needs to be replaced.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the head guard for an industrial vehicle according to the present invention includes a peripheral frame and a plurality of guard bodies disposed above the driver's seat at appropriate intervals within the peripheral frame. A reinforcing frame is provided at the front of the upper surface of the guard body, and a transparent plate is removably provided on the front of the upper surface of the guard body, and an opaque plate is provided at the rear of the upper surface of the guard body, and the transparent plate is provided on the rear of the upper surface of the guard body, and A sealing material is provided between the lower surface of the periphery and the opaque plate and the guard body.

Effects According to the configuration of the present invention, if the transparent plate becomes dirty, only the transparent plate needs to be replaced, which is economical. Furthermore, since a sealing material is provided on the lower surface of the periphery of the transparent plate, rain and the like will not leak from the mounting portion of the transparent plate.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

A forklift vehicle, which is an example of an industrial vehicle, has a mast 2 in front of a driver's seat 1, as shown in FIG. A pair of finger bars 4 and 5 are provided, and a pair of left and right forks 6 that are engaged and held between the finger bars 4 and 5 are individually slidable in the left and right directions. A rectangular guard body 7 is disposed above the driver's seat 1, and this guard body 7 is attached between the upper ends of four pillars 9 erected from the vehicle body 8. The guard body 7 is shown in FIGS. 1 and 3.
As shown in FIG. 4, the front edge frame 7a and the rear edge frame 7
b, consists of a left edge frame 7c, a right edge frame 7d, and a plurality of reinforcing frames 7e extending in the front-rear direction and provided at predetermined intervals on the left and right sides inside these frames, and the rear part of the upper surface of this guard body 7 is made of iron or An opaque plate 10 made of resin is fixed, and a transparent plate 11 made of acrylic that substantially covers the front side portion of the guard body 7 is detachably provided on the upper front part of the guard body 7. That is, the transparent plate 11 has tapped blocks on the upper surface of the front end side of the opaque plate 10, the upper surface of the pair of side plates 12 disposed on both sides of the upper front part of the guard body 7, and the upper center surface of the front edge frame 7a. It is attached with screws 14 via 13. The rear end of the opaque plate 10, the front end of the opaque plate 10 below the transparent plate 11, and the side parts of the opaque plate 10 and side plate members 12 are designed to prevent rainwater from falling onto the driver's seat section 1 below. Rainwater is guided to front water receptacles 15 each bent upward and having a V-shaped cross section and welded to the front surface of the front edge frame 7a. Further, a sealing material 16 made of sponge rubber is disposed between the lower surface of the peripheral edge of the transparent plate 11 and the side of the guard body 7 to prevent rainwater from entering below the transparent plate 11. In addition, 17
is a drainage pipe that guides water from the front water receiver 15 to a drainage channel in the support column 9.

With the above configuration, since the transparent plate 11 is disposed on the front part of the upper surface of the guard main body 7, it is possible to protect the front view of the upper part of the driver's seat 1 while being able to avoid rainwater. Furthermore, since the transparent plate 11 is made removable, if the transparent plate 11 becomes dirty, it is only necessary to replace it. Further, even if the sealing material 16 disposed below the transparent plate 11 deteriorates, the transparent plate 11 can be removed and replaced easily.

Note that a translucent plate may be used as the transparent plate 11, and in this case, it has the effect of blocking sunlight from entering the driver's seat 1.

Effects of the invention As described above, according to the invention, the transparent plate placed on the front of the upper surface of the guard body is made removable.
While ensuring good visibility in front of the upper part of the driver's seat,
If this transparent plate becomes dirty, it is only necessary to replace it, which is economical. Furthermore, the sealing material that prevents rainwater from entering the transparent plate can be easily replaced by removing the transparent plate. Furthermore, although the structure has a reinforcing frame to maintain sufficient strength, the transparent plate covers most of the front side of the guard body, allowing a wider field of view upwards.
