Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to the structure of a deflector provided at the front edge of a roof opening in a canvas stop vehicle.

(Prior Art) In recent years, canvas-stop vehicles have been provided that are equipped with a canvas that covers the roof opening so that it can be opened and closed. In such a canvas-stop vehicle, if the front end of the canvas is exposed to the front of the vehicle, the canvas will vibrate due to wind being drawn in while driving, and this vibration will cause a low slob noise. Therefore, a deflector is usually provided at the front edge of the roof opening, similar to the sunroof deflector shown in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 60-81128.

However, when a deflector is installed in this way, negative pressure is generated between the deflector and the roof when the vehicle is running, and this negative pressure sucks the end of the deflector upward, causing flapping, which causes noise. There were some problems, such as:

(Purpose of the invention) The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems.In a canvas-stop vehicle that is equipped with a canvas that covers the roof opening so that it can be opened and closed, the edges of the canvas may be damaged due to the negative pressure generated during driving. To provide a deflector structure for a canvas stop vehicle which can prevent the air from being sucked out and flapping.

(Structure of the invention) The present invention provides a canvas stop vehicle equipped with a canvas that covers the roof opening so that it can be opened and closed. A stopper is provided which substantially contacts the upper surface of the front end of the canvas when it is closed and prevents the front end from being sucked out.

According to this configuration, the vertical movement of the front end of the canvas when the vehicle is closed is regulated by the stopper, so that even if negative pressure is generated between the deflector and the roof during driving, the front end of the canvas is not sucked out. There is no flapping of the front end.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

FIG. 1 shows a canvas stop vehicle equipped with a canvas 2 that covers a roof opening 1.
The figure is a sectional view taken along the - line in this figure. By being pulled by the cable, the canvas 2 moves along the guide rails 5, 5 provided on both sides of the opening 1.
to open and close the roof. An appropriate number of top frames 3 are provided inside the canvas 2 at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and link brackets 4 are provided at both ends of each top frame 3.
is fixed.

The link bracket 4 has a link bracket 41 movably engaged with a rail 5 extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle via a guide shoe 6, and a link bracket 42 in a free state relative to the rail 5, which are alternately installed. As shown in Figure 5,
A pair of adjacent link brackets 41 and 42 are connected by a link 7 and a return spring 8. Further, a traction cable 9 connected to the guide shoe 6 by the plate 10 is guided by the rail 5, and when the link bracket 41 is moved in the opening direction (rightward in FIG. 5) by the cable 9, In this case, the link bracket 42 in the free state is moved upward via the link 7 by the biasing force of the return spring 8 (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 5), so that the canvas 2 can be folded into a bellows shape. It's getting old.

The rail 5 has a support frame 14 fixed by bolts between a roof panel 12 attached to the upper surface of a flange portion 11c of a roof rail 11 consisting of an outer rail 11a and an inner rail 11b, and a fixing bracket 13 fixed to the inner rail 11b. It is installed above.

On the other hand, both side edges of the canvas 2 are adapted to slide on the roof molding 16 along the cable 9 on the outer track via an outer rail 17 provided at the tip of the support frame 14, and the top frame 3 The gap between the tip and the support frame 14 is sealed with an inner seal 18.

In Fig. 4, 19 is the door glass, 20 is the door sash, 21 is the door weather strip, and 2 is the door glass.
2 is a bolt protector fixed with bolts, 23
is lined.

A deflector 24 extending in the vehicle width direction is attached to the front edge of the roof opening 1 configured as described above. As shown in FIG. 2, an upper surface 25a of a mounting bracket 25 having a substantially U-shaped cross section is attached to the inner surface near the front end of the deflector 24, and
The deflector 24 is attached by attaching the lower surface of the mounting bracket 25 to the upper surface of the roof panel 26.

Further, in the present invention, a stopper member 27 is attached to the inside of the deflector 24, approximately at the center thereof. This stopper member 27, as shown in FIG.
It consists of a mounting part 27a to the deflector 24 and a stopper piece 27b extending downward from the mounting part 27a.
The stopper piece 27b is attached to the inner surface of the stopper piece 27b.
End 2 of the canvas 2 when the end is closed
a (the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 2) is shaped so as to be almost in contact with the upper surface.

In this configuration, when the canvas 2 is closed, the front end 2a of the canvas 2 is housed in the deflector 24 so as to enter between the stopper piece 27b and the roof panel 26. Therefore, when the canvas 2 is closed, the vertical movement of the front end 2a is restricted by the stopper piece 27b, so that the front end 2a is prevented from moving between the deflector 24 and the roof panel 26 (particularly in zone A in FIG. 2) when traveling. Even if negative pressure is generated, the front end portion 2a will not be sucked upward, and flapping of the front end portion 2a can be prevented.

FIG. 6 shows a deflector 28 in the second embodiment.
It is shown. Here, the stopper member 27
Instead, a rib 28a (stopper) is integrally formed that projects from the inner surface of the deflector 28 toward the roof panel 26. Even with this structure in which the deflector and stopper are integrated, the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained by restricting the movement of the front end portion 2a of the canvas 2 at the tip of the rib 28a.

Furthermore, in addition to the above-mentioned stopper, if a ventilation groove 29a is provided at an appropriate position like the deflector 29 shown in Fig. 7, the wind received from the front of the vehicle body (indicated by the arrow in the figure) when the vehicle is running is transferred to this ventilation groove. The wind enters from the front end 29a and acts to press the front end 2a of the canvas 2 from above, so that the effect of the present invention can be further enhanced.

In the present invention, the shapes of the deflector and the stopper are not limited and may be appropriately set according to the vehicle body structure.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, the present invention provides a canvas-stop vehicle that has a canvas for opening and closing the roof opening. Since the movement in the direction is restricted, the front end of the canvas is not sucked upward due to the generation of negative pressure during running, and it is possible to prevent the front end of the canvas from flapping.
