Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To effectively reduce the release of splashes of the tire splashing to the outside. [Structure] A flange portion 5 formed by bending the lower edge portion of the splash guard 4 inward and a gutter wall 6 formed by erecting the tip of the flange portion 5 are integrally provided.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an improvement of a device for preventing tire tires of vehicles such as trucks from splashing.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 There is a tire disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-44577 for preventing mud splash.

[0003] In order to prevent splashes of muddy water, etc. splashed up from the tire from splashing outside from the side of the tire, a splash guard is attached to the fender, and it is directed to the inside of the lower edge of the splash guard. The formed flange prevents splashes from splashing directly to the outside as a splash.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, even if splashes of muddy water etc. rolled up by the tire adhere to the inside of the splash guard, they will not be sufficiently collected by the flange part, and as a result, fine splashes are easily blown off by the air flow that winds up the tire, It flows to the outside as splash, adheres to the side of the vehicle body and becomes dirty, and adversely affects the visibility of the following vehicles.

The present invention aims to solve such problems.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention relates to a mud splash prevention device for a vehicle in which a fender covering the upper space from the front of the tire and a splash guard are attached to the fender.The splash guard is made of synthetic resin, and the lower edge of the splash guard is inward. A bent flange portion and a gutter wall formed by erecting the tip of the flange portion are integrally provided.

[0007]

[Action]

 Part of the muddy water splashed up by the tire adheres to the inside of the splash guard and eventually flows down to the flange, but the water drops collected due to the existence of the gutter wall tend to collect on the flange and grow into large particles. Drops of water will not easily disperse due to the air flow generated by rolling the tire. Therefore, splash splashing directly from the flange portion is reduced, and dirt on the side surface of the vehicle body is reduced.

It should be noted that large drops of water are discharged from the front or the rear of the splash guard and fall to the ground.

[0009]

【Example】

 FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 is a cab, 2 is a tire, 3 is a fender covering an upper space from the front of the tire 2, and 4 is a splash guard attached to a side surface of the fender 3.

The splash guard 4 is integrally molded of synthetic resin. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a flange portion 5 bent inward along the lower edge of the splash guard 4 and the flange portion 5 are formed. And a gutter wall 6 standing upright from the tip edge of the.

Since it is formed in this way, a part of the splashed-up air generated by the rotation of the tire 2 adheres to the inner wall of the splash guard 4, travels down the wall surface, and is collected in the flange portion 5 surrounded by the gutter wall 6. Be done.

Here, the fine droplets grow into large-sized water droplets, and then a part thereof drops from the front of the slope or is discharged from the rear end by traveling wind. When the droplets are collected and become large water droplets, it is difficult for the airflow generated by the rotation of the tire 2 to easily disperse them. Therefore, the splash that rises in the airflow and leaks to the side of the vehicle is reduced, and the cab is reduced. The dirt on the side and rear body side can be reduced, and the splash that hinders the visibility of the following vehicles in rainy weather can be reduced to improve the running safety.

[0013]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, since the flange portion formed by bending the lower edge portion of the splash guard inward and the trough wall formed by erecting the tip of the flange portion are integrally provided, The droplets that have adhered to the inside of the splash guard can be collected and removed as large droplets, which reduces the splash that splashes outside due to the airflow of the tire, reduces the amount of adhesion to the side of the vehicle body, and reduces the visibility to the following vehicles. It can be improved and driving safety can be improved.
