Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> The present invention relates to a rear wiper cover.

<Prior Art> Examples of conventional rear wiper covers include those shown in FIGS. 3 to 5. The rear wiper cover 1 covers the rear surface of the rear seat back 2 and the rear window glass 3.
The rear wiper unit (not shown) for operating the rear wiper 6 and the notch hole 5 formed in the vicinity of the rear window glass 3 of the rear parcel board 4 arranged between the It is provided to hide the wiper well and is mainly composed of a cover body 7 and a boss portion 8 that is integrally provided to the cover body 7. Then, the rear wiper cover 1 is positioned in the notch hole 5, and the rear The rear wiper cover 1 is fixed on the rear parcel board 4 by fixing the screws 13 to the boss portion 8 from the rear surface ′, 2 (lower side in FIG. 4) of the parcel board 4, and the notch hole 5
This also hides the rear wiper unit (not shown) from the outside. Note that 9 indicates a rear wiper shaft.

The rear wiper cover 1 is fixed onto the rear cell board 4 with screws 13, but there is also a wiper force bar 16 as shown in FIG. This rear wiper cover 16 has a resin claw body 17 on the cover body 7.
is integrally provided, and the claw body 17 is connected to the notch hole 5.
By pressing it from above, the claw body 17 passes through the notch hole 5 and reaches the back surface 12 of the rear parcel board 4, and by being locked to the edge of the notch hole 5, the rear wiper cover 16 is attached to the rear parcel board 4. It is secured on the board 4 to hide the notch hole 5 and the rear wiper unit (not shown) from the outside.

<Problems with conventional technology> However, such conventional "rear wiper cover"
In this case, there is room for improvement in workability when it becomes necessary to remove the "rear wiper cover" for repairing the rear wiper 6 or the wiper unit (not shown) or for other purposes.

That is, the rear wiper cover 1 shown in FIG. 4 is fixed to the boss portion 8 from the rear surface 12 of the rear parcel board 4 by screws 13, and cannot be removed from the upper side of the rear parcel board 4, so the rear seat back 2 cannot be removed. Therefore, the workability and serviceability were correspondingly low.

Furthermore, since it is necessary to attach and fix the rear wiper cover 1 to the rear parcel board 4 in advance of assembling the rear parcel board 4 of the vehicle body, the assembly process on the factory line is easily constrained, and the rear wiper cover 1 is Because the cover 1 is attached first, the flat rear parcel board 4, which could normally be stacked, cannot be stacked because the rear wiper cover 1 becomes a protruding part, and it is expensive to store at the time of factory delivery or after delivery. Met.

Although the rear wiper cover 16 in FIG. 5 can be removed from the upper side of the rear parcel board 4, the rear wiper cover 16
A cutout hole 5 in the rear parcel board 4 for attaching the rear window glass 3 is formed in the vicinity of the rear window glass 3.
Above the cutout hole 5 (upper side in Fig. 5), since the Hellya window glass 3 is approaching diagonally over the cutout hole 5, when removing the rear wiper cover 16, it is difficult to pull it up.
The rear window glass 3 gets in the way and is difficult to remove, and the rear wiper cover 16 including the claw body 17 is often made of resin, so the claw body 17 may deform due to heat and vibration. It becomes easy to rattle, and in extreme cases, the rear parcel board 4 and the claw body 17 may come out of engagement.

This invention has been made by focusing on such conventional technology, and involves inserting the rear parcel board from a substantially horizontal direction along the top surface of the rear parcel board into a notch hole formed in a portion of the rear parcel board near the rear window glass.・The purpose is to provide a wiper cover that can be accessed.

Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the rear wiper cover according to the present invention has a cutout hole formed in a portion of the rear parcel board near the rear window glass. A clip that can be inserted and engaged along the top surface is screwed to a position corresponding to the bottom surface of the cover body.
At the tip of the clip in the insertion/engaging direction, there is further provided a downwardly bent part that engages with the back surface of the rear parcel board, and a downwardly sloped part for an engagement guide that is continuous with this bent part. The gist is that the proximal end of the clip in the inserting/engaging direction is provided with an upward slope part for a stopper that is continuous with the downwardly bent part and engages with the edge of the notch hole.

<Operation> When the rear wiper cover is moved along the top surface of the rear parcel board toward the notch hole formed in the part of the rear parcel board near the rear window glass, it is screwed to a position corresponding to the bottom surface of the cover body. The downward slope of the clip serves as an entry guide, and the clip naturally enters the back of the rear parcel board.

If you insert the rear wiper cover as it is, the downwardly bent part will engage with the back of the rear parcel board while supporting it. Furthermore, at the proximal end of the clip in the direction of insertion and engagement,
By sequentially engaging the downward bending part and the rising slope part for the stopper provided continuously therewith with the edge of the notch hole, the downward bending part produces a click feeling first, and then the rising slope part The part functions as a stopper to prevent insertion and
The involvement process will be completed.

If it becomes necessary to remove the rear wiper cover, move the rear wiper cover along the top surface of the rear parcel board in the opposite direction to ensure that the upward slope for the stopper at the base end of the clip engages with the edge of the notch hole. Once the clip is uncoupled, the bent part and the downwardly sloped part of the tip of the clip are pushed back into the notch hole, and by pulling the whole thing diagonally upward, the rear wiper cover can be removed almost along the top surface of the rear parcel board. The rear window glass that approaches the top of the notch hole does not get in the way, improving workability and serviceability.Furthermore, since it can be attached later to the rear parcel board during installation, it can be installed at any time. Since it can be installed, work efficiency in the factory will be improved.

EMBODIMENTS> The details of this invention will be explained below based on the drawings of FIGS. 1 and 2. Note that the same reference numerals are given to the same parts as in the conventional art, and redundant explanations will be omitted. The rear wiper cover 30 has clips 32 secured to four bosses 8 provided at positions corresponding to the bottom surface of the cover body 7 with screws 31, respectively. Portrait rear parcel board 4
The "bottom surface" of the cover body 7 that comes into contact with the top surface of the cover body 7 serves as an attachment line L when the rear wiper cover 30 is inserted into the notch hole 5.

By the way, the four clips 32 are inserted in the insertion/engaging direction [
A pair of left and right clips 32a on the front side in the direction of arrow A in Fig. 2
, 32a and a pair of left and right clips 32b, 3 on the rear side.
2b have similar shapes and structures on the left and right sides, and although the shapes and structures of the front and rear clips 32a and 32b are slightly different, the parts related to their main functions are almost the same. Below, the front clip 32
a, 32a and the rear clips 32b, 32b will be collectively referred to as a "clip 32J".

The tip of the insertion/engaging direction of the 32 is located downward [
2 below the attachment line L, and this bent portion 33 connects to the rear surface 1 of the rear parcel board 4.
2. This bending part 3
Continuing from 3 and further at the tip, a descending slope portion 34 is provided, and this downward slope portion 34 is used as an entry guide.

Further, at the proximal end of the clip 32 in the insertion/engagement direction, there is provided an upwardly sloped portion 36 that continues from the bent portion 35 downward from the attachment line L, so that the bent portion 35 clicks when inserted/engaged. The raised slope portion 36 engages with the edge of the notch hole 5 and functions as a stopper. Note that the cover body 7 has a hole 37 through which the wiper shaft 9 is inserted.
and a washer nozzle (not shown) through which a hole 38 is inserted.

Next, the effect will be explained.

Attaching the rear wiper cover 30; Insert the rear wiper cover 30 from the upper side of the rear parcel board 4 toward the cutout hole 5 formed in the part of the rear parcel board 4 close to the rear window glass 3. When the parcel board 4 is moved in a substantially horizontal state along the upper surface, that is, along the attachment line, the downward slope portion 34 at the tip of the clip 32 will naturally enter the back surface 12 of the rear parcel board 4.

The rear wiper cover 30 moves as the bent portion 33 is engaged, that is, the notch hole 5
When the clip 32 continues to be inserted and engaged, the bent portion 33 engages with the back surface 12 of the rear parcel board 4.

At this time, the downwardly bent portion 35 at the proximal end of the clip 32 comes off the edge of the notch hole 5 and enters the notch hole 5. This gives a click feeling to the insertion and engagement operations.

When the rising slope part 36 reaches the edge of the notch hole 5 by securing the rising slope part 36 and further inserting and engaging the clip 32, this rising slope part 36 acts downward like a temporary spring to perform a stop function. As a result, the entire clip 32 is engaged with the notch hole 5, thereby preventing the rear wiper cover 30 from coming off due to vibration or heat.

The clip 3 provided from the distal end to the proximal end in this way
By inserting and engaging the descending slope portion 34, bent portion 33, 35, and upward slope portion 36 of No. 2 in a substantially horizontal state along the attachment line L, they are pressed so as to overlap diagonally above the notch hole 5. The rear wiper cover 30 can be inserted and engaged without being obstructed by the rear window glass 3, and the notch hole 5 can be covered with the rear wiper cover 30.

Removing the rear wiper cover 30; If it becomes necessary to remove the rear wiper cover 30,
Contrary to the above, move the rear wiper cover 30 from the upper side of the rear parcel board 4 along the L surface of the rear parcel board 4, that is, along the attachment line L, in a direction that does not move away from the notch hole 5 [arrow Δ in Figure 2].
When moving in the opposite direction], the rising slope part 36 for the stopper
1 (part of the notch hole 5) is released, and then the bent part 35
Furthermore, the bent portion 33 is removed from the back surface 12 of the rear parcel board 4, and the clip 32 can be pulled out from the notch hole 5 along the downward slope portion 34 for the insertion guide. Even when the edge of the notch hole 5 disengages from the bent portion 35 following the rising slope portion 36, a click sensation is felt in the hand.

<Effects> The rear wiper cover according to the present invention has the content as described above, and the upper side of the rear parcel board is connected to the notch hole formed in the portion of the rear parcel board near the rear window glass. Even when attaching and detaching the Karaya wiper force bar, the rear window glass installed diagonally above the cutout hole does not get in the way and allows easy work, improving workability and serviceability. When the clip is inserted and engaged along the top surface of the rear parcel board, the upward slope at the base end of the clip acts downward like a temporary spring and engages with the edge of the notch hole, thus exerting its stopper function. , the rear wiper cover does not come off due to vibration, and since the rear wiper cover can be attached to the rear parcel board afterwards, it can be installed at any time, eliminating restrictions on the work process at the factory and improving work efficiency. It has the effect of
