JP2001063369A - Simple rain shelter-cum-sunshade sheet for vehicle - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet capable of being simply put to attachment in a vehicle if it suddenly rains, preventing a person from getting wet with rain when the person gets out of the vehicle, serving as a sunshade curtain in fine weather, and neither impairing appearance nor increasing air resistance during running. SOLUTION: A sectorial portion formed between a vehicle body and a door when the door 1 is opened is covered with a waterproof, substantially trapezoidal, elastic sheet 2 to form a space providing a rain shelter. In fine weather, the sheet is formed into a cover of a window by removing suction cups 4 and it can be used as a sunshade curtain. When not used, the sheet can be rolled up and fixed with strings in the vehicle with one side of the sheet detached, or both sides thereof can be detached easily.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for avoiding rain so that it does not get wet when getting on or off a car when it rains, and for providing a shade when the weather is fine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a car is opened with a door open in rainy weather, an umbrella is inserted outside the door to prevent the vehicle from getting wet. Also, this type of rain avoiding device is of an externally mounted type (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 10-236167) or of a complicated structure (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-20216).
And it was costly.

[0003]

Conventionally, this kind of thing which has a complicated structure, one which requires time and effort for installation, and one which is mounted outside a car (such as a car roof), etc. However, in the case of rain, there was a problem that it could not be installed unless it was wet with rain.
In addition, there are problems in terms of appearance and air resistance during running. In addition, there were many things that could only function as a rain shield. The present invention can be easily installed in the car when necessary such as sudden rain, and when getting on and off the car, without getting wet with rain,
It can prevent rain from falling into the car, and also has a role as a sunshade curtain in fine weather. It is another object of the present invention that there is no problem in terms of appearance and air resistance during traveling.

[0004]

According to the present invention, a suction cup for adsorbing and fixing to a window glass is provided on one of the substantially trapezoidal sheets, and the other is detachably attached to the upper part of a vehicle entrance. It is constituted by a rain avoiding / shading sheet to which another connector corresponding to one of the pair of connectors is attached. The substantially trapezoidal sheet includes a substantially trapezoidal sheet in which opposing sides of the trapezoid are slightly curved. In addition, it is preferable to use, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener. Further, it is preferable that the above-mentioned sheet is constituted by a sheet which is processed to be stretchable. For example, it is preferable to perform the shearing process for the stretching process. Further, it is preferable to provide a fastener for winding the sheet. The fastener is preferably formed of a string or the like.

[0005]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In FIG. 1, a suction cup (4) is provided on one of a substantially trapezoidal sheet (2) having a waterproof property, and is sucked and fixed to a window glass (8). A connector (6) corresponding to a pair of detachable connectors (5), which has been attached in advance to the upper part in the vehicle entrance (FIG. 4 (9)), is attached, and the connector (5) and the connector are attached. By joining (6), when the door (1) is opened, it covers the upper part of the fan formed between the car body and the door, creating a space where rain can be avoided, and under that, without getting wet with rain, umbrella Or place the child on a child or junior seat.

A hook-and-loop fastener is used as a joining tool (FIG. 5).
And those having the shape of the concave and convex for engagement (FIG. 6) are conceivable. For example, in FIG. 5, one of the surface fasteners (11)
Is attached in advance to the upper part (9) of the vehicle entrance with double-sided tape (10), and the other side (12) of the hook-and-loop fastener is attached to one side of the seat.

[0007] Further, by shearing the sheet with several rubber cords (3) in the lateral direction to make it expandable and contractable,
When the door is closed, the sheet does not hang down on the window glass as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, and can be stored along the window frame.

Further, the mounting position can be arbitrarily determined in front of or behind the front door according to the inclination angle of the windshield. For example, the mounting position can be moved from FIG. 7 to FIG. It can also be mounted on rear doors, and can be used in a wide range of vehicles. As the stretching process, it is conceivable to use a string or the like.

In fine weather, by changing the mounting position of the suction cup, the sheet covers the window and can be used as a sunshade curtain (FIG. 11).

When not in use, the main body can be easily removed by winding and fixing the sheet with a string (7) or the like as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, or by removing a detachable connector.

[0011]

The present invention is effective in the case of sudden rain. The present invention has a very simple structure, so that it can be stored lightly and compactly and can always be carried in a vehicle. Also, it can be easily attached and detached, so it can be attached while in the car, and can be used immediately when needed. Also, it can be used as a shade even in fine weather. Because the seat is stretchable, it can be used with almost all types of vehicles, and regardless of the front door or rear door,
Can be installed. Furthermore, it is possible to reduce the cost during production.
