Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to the structure of a display window that is provided at the lower part of the front window of a vehicle body such as a bus and displays company names, destinations, etc.

(Prior Art) The configuration of a conventional lower front window display window will be described based on the following example.

<Conventional Example 1> As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a display box 54 containing a lamp 53, a display curtain, etc. is attached to an opening below the front window 51 and above the bumper 52, and The display box 54 is directly attached to the structural board 55 and the front outer panel 56. A glass plate 58 is fitted into the opening on the front surface of the display box 54 via an H rubber 57 which serves both as an attachment and a seal.

<Conventional Example 2> In this example, which is a modification of Conventional Example 1, as shown in FIG. 7, a lid member 59 that surrounds and fixes the glass plate 58 is provided.
0 to the plate surrounding the front opening of the display box 54.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The conventional lower front window display window has the following problems.

() In recent years, in order to make driving easier and more luxurious, there is a tendency for front windows to become larger in order to widen visibility. Additionally, bumpers are also becoming larger with safety in mind.

Therefore, if an attempt was made to provide a display window on the front outer panel below the front window and above the bumper as in the past, the display window would have to be small.
The display is becoming increasingly difficult to read.

() In conventional display windows, in order to inspect or replace the lamps etc. behind the glass plate, in Conventional Example 1, the glass plate 57 must be removed from the H rubber 56, and in Conventional Example 2, it is necessary to remove the glass plate 57 from the H rubber 56. , screw 59
It is necessary to remove the cover member 58 by removing the cover member 58, and in either case, the work is troublesome.

() In particular, in Conventional Example 2, the screw 59 is exposed to the outside, spoiling the appearance.

The present invention has been developed in view of these circumstances, and makes it possible to secure a large area for the display window even when the front window and bumper become larger, and also makes it possible to inspect or replace lighting equipment, etc. The purpose is to make it easy to do.

(Means for Solving the Problem) In order to achieve the above object, the solution of the present invention is such that a bumper having an opening opening toward the front at the front of the vehicle body pivots the lower end of the bumper frame to the vehicle body frame. It is designed so that it can be tilted forward.
A display box is attached to the bumper with its back plate exposed, facing the bumper opening, and the back plate of the display box is detachably attached to the display box body. It is assumed that

(Function) Accordingly, in the present invention, as the bumper becomes larger, the bumper opening and the display box can be made larger accordingly.

Also, if you want to inspect or replace lighting equipment, etc.,
By removing the back plate with the bumper tilted forward, inspection or replacement can be performed without removing the glass plate.

(Effects of the invention) According to the invention, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

(b) As the bumper becomes larger, the area of the display window can be increased.

(b) Inspection or replacement of lights, etc. can be done by tilting the bumper forward and removing the back plate. Therefore, there is no need to remove the front glass plate, and this can be done easily.

(c) With the bumper tilted forward, the back plate can be used as a stepping board when cleaning the windshield.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

<Example 1> In the front part of the bus body shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, 2 is a windshield fitted into the front window, 3 is a front outer panel, and 4 is a center bumper. The center bumper 4 consists of a bumper frame 5 and a bumper body 6 made of resin, and the lower end of the bumper frame 5 is rotatably supported by the vehicle body frame 7 via a support shaft 7a, so that it can be tilted forward. On the other hand, the upper end portion is normally locked to the vehicle body 1 by a locking device (not shown). In addition, 8,
Reference numeral 9 indicates side bumpers provided next to the center bumper 4.

A display box 11 housing a lamp 10 and the like is attached to the center bumper 4 with a back plate 12 exposed. This back plate 12 is detachably attached to the main body of the display box 11 by, for example, bolt tightening means (see bolt tightening means 13 of Embodiment 2 shown in FIG. 4).

A glass plate 15 is inserted into the front opening of the display box 11 via an H rubber 14 that serves both as an attachment and a seal.
is embedded. The glass plate 15 is exposed to the outside of the vehicle body 1 through an opening 4a provided in the center bumper 4.

Since the display window according to this embodiment has such a configuration, the larger the center bumper 4 becomes, the larger the area of the glass plate 15 becomes.

Furthermore, when it is desired to inspect or replace the lamp 10, etc., it is not necessary to remove the glass plate 15 by removing the back plate 12 while releasing the lock and tilting the center bumper 4 forward.

If the back plate 12 is made of a strong plate, the back plate 12 can be used as a step board when the center bumper 4 is tilted forward, which is convenient for cleaning the windshield 2.

<Example 2> In this example, as shown in FIG.
is directly attached to the bumper body 6 via the H rubber 14. In other respects, the configuration is the same as in Example 1, and the obtained effects are also the same.

In addition, although each of the above embodiments shows a type of display window in which characters are drawn directly on the glass plate, the present invention can also be applied to a type of display window equipped with a roll-up type display curtain inside the display box. It goes without saying that it is possible.
