Description

The method relates to universal auxiliary devices for windshields of passenger cars [B60J 1/02], preventing water from entering the windshield on the side windows or in the passenger compartment when the windows are open while driving. The prior art numerous technical solutions for installing special protective devices that prevent water from entering the side windows and side mirrors during movement. Such devices are installed on a number of models of car brands: Mercedes, Skoda, BMW, Toyota and a number of other cars of expensive brands. These protective devices are not universal, they are exclusively specialized for a strictly specific make of a car and are usually made at a factory manufacturing machines. They are not removable and are installed with a rigid mount.

Meanwhile, for the most part of the fleet of cars, the task of preventing water from windshield from entering the side windows during movement, which has not been solved by the manufacturers of such cars, is an urgent task. For example, on LADA brand cars, 2109, 2110, DAEWOO series and other middle-class cars, this problem is very acute. There was a need for a universal inexpensive device that prevents water from entering the side windows during movement, which could be placed on the windshield of any car if the owner wishes. The prior art knows the technical solution disclosed on the website http://nexvik.narod.ru/ot.html. The essence of its embodiment is a piece of rubber, manually cut lengthwise under a specific windshield of a particular car. Moreover, the resulting device is simply glued to the windshield and the rubber seal of the windshield. This circumstance is a very strong drawback, since it is necessary to cut, degrease the glass, glue it, and then tear it off as it wears. This greatly spoils the aesthetic appearance of the car. The disadvantages are also: the lack of versatility of the device, the need for manual tuning to the required configuration. Also, the disadvantage of the device should include a large area of the deflector, which reduces the viewing angle to the driver and increases the "blind zone".

The prior art knows the solution for a device manufactured by Antei-Co and disclosed on the website: http://www.antei-ko.ru/list.php?CID=16553 (Windshield deflector VAZ 2108-99).

The essence of its embodiment is a piece of plastic of a strictly defined shape, fixed on the windshield of the car, located flat on the windshield. The device is inserted into the gap between the windshield and the rubber seal that holds the windshield in the housing.

The disadvantages of the device include: the lack of versatility of the device, since this type of deflector is designed strictly for a specific car model. Also, the disadvantage of the device should include a large area of the deflector, which reduces the viewing angle to the driver and increases the "blind zone". Another disadvantage of the device is the fact that under the influence of wind various debris will fall and accumulate under the deflector.

The objective of the invention is a method that would eliminate all of the above disadvantages and at the same time would prevent water from entering the windshield on the side windows or in the passenger compartment when the windows are open while driving.

The technical result and new advantages that are achieved thanks to the method, in addition to the main task of eliminating the ingress of water from the windshield to the side windows while driving, are: the ease of installation of the deflector, the reliability of its fixation on the windshield of the car, eliminating the ingress of dirt and debris under the deflector, reliable protection against splashes and in the exclusion of reducing the field of view of the driver through the windshield.

-shaped gasket having bends at the upper end and made of soft plastic or rubber, the L-shape of the deflector across its lower part being the fastener with which the deflector is inserted under the rubber windshield seal along the entire length of the deflector, and the upper part represents deflector side, which serves as a protective device against water entering the side windows of the car.

Brief Description of the Drawings

In Fig. 1, a deflector is shown (a is a cross-sectional view, b is an external view), where 1 is a deflector, 2 is a deflector side, 3 is a fastener, where 4 is a windshield rubber, 5 is a windshield.

Figure 2 shows various versions of the transverse shape of the deflector.

Figure 3 shows the principle of fastening the deflector to the windshield of the car, 6 - car body.

Figure 4 shows the fixed deflectors on the windshield of the car in working condition.

Figure 5 shows the features of maintaining the angle of the field of view of the driver when using the deflector of Figure 5 (a) and reducing the angle of the field of view of the driver when using known types of deflectors of Figure 5 (b), where 7 is the angle of the field of view, 8 is the driver.

The essence of the method

-образной прокладки (дефлектора) (1), с L-образной формой в поперечнике, выполненной из мягкого пластика или резины, которая вставляется между лобовым стеклом и резиновым уплотнителям лобового стекла с правой и с левой стороны, на всем протяжении своей длины.The method is based on the use of

-shaped gasket (deflector) (1), with an L-shaped in diameter, made of soft plastic or rubber, which is inserted between the windshield and rubber windshield seals on the right and left sides, throughout its entire length.

The L-shape of the deflector (see Figure 1) in its cross section represents the fastener (3), and the upper part (2) is the deflector side, which serves as a protective device against water from the windshield on the side windows of the car.

The deflector (1) by the fastening element (3) is inserted under the rubber seal (4) of the windshield (5) along the entire length of the deflector (see Figure 3).

-образную форму прокладки, которая на концах имеет загибы. Загибы предназначены для лучшего удержания дефлектора на лобовом стекле под резиновым уплотнителем (4).The length deflector has

-shaped gasket, which has bends at the ends. The bends are designed to better hold the deflector on the windshield under the rubber seal (4).

A feature of fastening the deflector (1) in this way is the elimination of the possibility of falling out from under the rubber seal (4), since under the action of the oncoming wind flows during the movement of the car a lot of pressure is created aimed at pressing the deflector (1) by the fastener (3) under the rubber (four).

Due to the same circumstance, dirt and debris under the deflector are excluded, since there are no cracks during movement between the deflector and the windshield.

and

the cross-sectional shapes of the deflector are used on windshields that do not have rounded edges.

a different cross-section of the deflector is used on cars with high power engines developing high speeds.

a cross-section of the deflector is used on VAZ 2109 automobiles. The L-shape of the deflector is a universal form designed for all types of cars. The above options for other cross-sectional shapes of the deflector are specialized.

The deflector is attached to the windshield very simply (see Figure 4) and just as easily removed if necessary, because it is a soft plastic or rubber.

The L-shape of the side in cross section provides not only protection against water splashes, but also practically does not reduce the driver's field of view, since during movement the side of the deflector stands at an angle of approximately 90 degrees relative to the plane of the windshield and is practically invisible (see. Figure 5 (a)), in contrast to the known types of windshield deflectors, which reduce the driver’s field of view (see Figure 5 (b)) due to the fact that they are flat on the windshield, occupying part of its edges.
