Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a vehicle body protective cover. Background Technology
[0002] When a person with lower limb disabilities using a wheelchair travels by car without assistance, they must first move from the wheelchair to the car seat and then carry the wheelchair into the vehicle. For example, if a person with lower limb disabilities wants to sit in the front seat (such as the driver's seat), they must first move from the wheelchair to the front seat and recline the backrest to create space between their body and the dashboard. They can then use this space to carry the wheelchair into the vehicle and place it, for example, on the floor in front of the rear seats.
[0003] However, during the process of a person with lower limb disabilities moving a wheelchair from a wheelchair to a car seat, or carrying the wheelchair into the car, the wheelchair may come into contact with the lower part of the door opening (such as the door sill). Therefore, there is a possibility that the lower part of the door opening may be scratched. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above situation, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a vehicle body protective cover that can prevent wheelchairs from scratching the lower part of the door opening.
[0005] As a technical solution to the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a vehicle body protective cover, which is made of flexible material and is characterized by having a first area and a second area, and being foldable from an unfolded state to a stored state. In the unfolded state, the first area can be overlapped with a floor mat laid on the vehicle floor panel, and the second area is positioned at the vehicle door opening to cover the lower part of the vehicle door opening. In the folded state, the second area can be overlapped on the upper side of the first area.
[0006] The vehicle body protective cover of this invention, with the aforementioned structure, can prevent wheelchairs from scratching the lower part of the vehicle door opening. Specifically, when a lower limb disabled person using a wheelchair rides in the vehicle, as long as the vehicle body protective cover is in the unfolded state, it can cover the lower part of the vehicle door opening. In this way, the wheelchair will not directly touch the lower part of the vehicle door opening, thereby preventing the lower part of the vehicle door opening from being scratched.
[0007] In addition, in the above-mentioned vehicle body protective cover of this utility model, it is preferable that an opening is provided in the first area, the opening can coincide with the riveting hole on the floor mat, and can be fastened together with the riveting hole to the buckle knob on the floor panel.
[0008] Based on this structure, the vehicle body cover can be fastened to the floor panel using existing snap-on knobs in the car (i.e., existing snap-on knobs set on the floor panel of the car interior for snapping with the rivet holes provided on the floor mat).
[0009] In addition, in the above-mentioned vehicle body protective cover of this utility model, preferably, magnets are built into the second region at the positions where they overlap in the folded state, and the overlapping magnets attract each other to maintain the folded state in the folded state.
[0010] Based on this structure, the body cover can be stably maintained in a folded state when not in use, thereby preventing the body cover from unfolding on its own inside the vehicle and obstructing passengers. Attached Figure Description

[0016] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this embodiment, the case where the body protective cover of the present invention is applied to protect the lower part of the left front door opening of a left-hand drive vehicle will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can also be used as a body protective cover to protect the lower part of the right front door opening, the lower part of the left rear door opening, and the lower part of the right rear door opening.
[0017] <Structure of Vehicle Body Protective Cover>
[0018] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing the unfolded state of the vehicle body protective cover 1 according to this embodiment (covering the sill 2). As shown in Figure 1, the vehicle body protective cover 1 is used to cover the sill 2 below the door opening on the left front side of the vehicle, thus protecting the sill 2. In Figure 1, A represents the accelerator pedal, B represents the brake pedal, and D represents the door in the open state.
[0019] Previously, when people with lower limb disabilities moved from a wheelchair to a car seat or carried the wheelchair into the car, the wheelchair might bump into the door sill and cause scratches. In this embodiment, by providing a vehicle body protective cover 1 that covers the door sill 2, the wheelchair can be prevented from directly touching the door sill 2, thereby preventing the door sill 2 from being scratched.
[0020] The structure of the vehicle body protective cover 1 will be described below.
[0021] Figure 2 is a top view of the vehicle body cover 1 according to this embodiment. As shown in Figure 2, the vehicle body cover 1 is constructed by sewing the edges of multiple pieces of fabric (1A, 1B) as flexible materials together. Specifically, the vehicle body cover 1 in this embodiment is made of two pieces of fabric (1A, 1B) of the same shape sewn together. In Figure 2, the X direction is the vehicle width direction when the vehicle body cover 1 is fastened to the vehicle floor panel FP (see Figure 1), and the Y direction is the vehicle length direction when the vehicle body cover 1 is fastened to the vehicle floor panel FP.
[0022] The vehicle body protective cover 1 includes a first region portion 3 and a second region portion 4, with the second region portion 4 located further outward in the vehicle width direction than the first region portion 3. Both the first region portion 3 and the second region portion 4 are approximately rectangular when viewed from above. In Figure 2, the boundary between the first region portion 3 and the second region portion 4 is marked with a double-dotted line. Furthermore, the first region portion 3 extends from the inner edge (the edge extending along the vehicle length direction) of the front half of the second region portion 4 in the vehicle length direction towards the inner edge in the vehicle width direction.
[0023] The width of the first region 3 in the X direction is smaller than the width of the second region 4 in the X direction. Specifically, the width of the first region 3 in the X direction is approximately 1 / 7 of the width of the second region 4 in the X direction. However, this ratio is not limited to this.
[0024] The length of the first region 3 in the Y direction is smaller than the length of the second region 4 in the Y direction. Specifically, the length of the first region 3 in the Y direction is approximately half the length of the second region 4 in the Y direction. However, this ratio is not limited to this.
[0025] By designing the first area portion 3 and the second area portion 4 as described above, as shown in Figure 1, when the first area portion 3 is snapped onto the floor panel FP and the second area portion 4 covers the sill 2, the first area portion 3 will not interfere with the car seat (i.e., the driver's seat not shown in the figure), and the second area portion 4 can cover a large area of the sill 2.
[0026] Near the rear end of the first region 3 in the vehicle length direction, a slit-like opening 31 is provided, which passes through the thickness direction of the body protective cover 1 and extends in the X direction. The opening width (X-direction dimension) of the opening 31 is slightly larger than the X-direction dimension of the snap-on knob (for snapping the floor mat 6 onto the floor panel FP) 7, which will be described later.
[0027] In the second region, magnets 5 are embedded in the overlapping positions of each other in the folded state described later. Specifically, magnets 5 are embedded in both ends of the second region 4 in the Y direction. The embedded position of each magnet 5 is located in the middle of the second region 4 in the X direction. Specifically, by sewing the fabric (1A, 1B) at the aforementioned embedded positions, two bag-shaped receiving portions 41 are formed, each containing one magnet 5. Furthermore, for example, the upper surface of the magnet 5 in the receiving portion 41 on the front side in the length direction (the upper side in Figure 2) is the N pole, and the upper surface of the magnet 5 in the receiving portion 41 on the rear side in the length direction (the lower side in Figure 2) is the S pole. In this way, when the second region 4 is folded in the length direction (folded along the fold line shown by the single-dotted line in Figure 2), the two magnets 5 will attract each other (magnetic attraction between magnets), thus maintaining the folded state.
[0028] As shown in Figure 1, in the vehicle body protective cover 1 with the above structure, the opening 31 (not shown in Figure 1) provided in the first area portion 3 coincides with the riveting hole 61 on the floor mat 6, and together with the riveting hole 61, is snapped onto the snap knob 7 on the floor panel FP.
[0029] Figure 3 is a top view showing the portion where the vehicle body cover 1 and the floor panel FP of this embodiment are fastened together. As shown in Figure 3, an elongated hole 62 extending in the X direction is formed in the riveting hole 61 of the floor mat 6. The first area 3 of the vehicle body cover 1 is disposed below the floor mat 6, that is, sandwiched between the floor panel FP and the floor mat 6. By passing the fastening knob 7 on the floor panel FP through the opening 31 on the vehicle body cover 1 and then through the elongated hole 62 of the riveting hole 61 on the floor mat 6, and then rotating the fastening knob 7 90° (from the X direction to the Y direction), the vehicle body cover 1 and the floor mat 6 can be clamped together between the floor panel FP and the fastening knob 7. In this way, the vehicle body cover 1 and the floor mat 6 are fastened together to the fastening knob 7 on the floor panel FP.
[0030] In addition, the vehicle body protective cover 1 can be folded from the unfolded state shown in Figure 1 to the stowed state shown in Figure 5.
[0031] As shown in Figure 1, when the vehicle body cover 1 is in the unfolded state, the second area portion 4 extensively covers the sill 2 from above. Therefore, when a person with lower limb disabilities moves from a wheelchair to a car seat or carries a wheelchair into the vehicle, the wheelchair will not directly touch the sill 2, thus preventing the sill 2 from being scratched. On the other hand, as shown in Figure 5, when the vehicle body cover 1 is in the retracted state, the second area portion 4 is folded to the side of the sill 2 located inside the vehicle.
[0032] <How to use the vehicle body protective cover>
[0033] Next, the usage of the vehicle body protective cover 1 with the above structure will be explained. Here, we will describe the situation where a person with a lower limb disability using a wheelchair unfolds the vehicle body protective cover 1 when boarding the vehicle, and the situation where a person with a lower limb disability folds the unfolded vehicle body protective cover 1 after boarding the vehicle.
[0034] First, as shown in Figure 5, the vehicle body cover 1 is in a retracted state. When a person with lower limb disabilities using a wheelchair travels in the vehicle, they can sit in the wheelchair and unfold the second area 4 of the vehicle body cover 1 outwards in the width direction of the vehicle, making it the unfolded state shown in Figure 1. Thus, the second area 4 of the vehicle body cover 1 can cover a large area of the sill 2 from above. In this state, when a person with lower limb disabilities moves from the wheelchair to the car seat or carries the wheelchair into the vehicle, the wheelchair will not directly touch the sill 2, thereby preventing the sill 2 from being scratched.
[0035] Then, after the person with lower limb disabilities sits in the seat, the unfolded vehicle body cover 1 can be folded and stored. Specifically, first, from the unfolded state shown in Figure 1, fold the rear half of the second area 4 in the length direction towards the front in the length direction, so as shown in Figure 4. In this state, the two magnets 5 built into the second area 4 will magnetically attract each other, thereby maintaining this folded state. Then, fold the vehicle body cover 1 along the folding line shown by the single-dot line in Figure 4, so as to achieve the stored state shown in Figure 5. In this way, when the door D is closed, the vehicle body cover 1 will not be trapped between the door sill 2 and the door D.
[0036] <Effects of the vehicle body protection cover>
[0037] As described above, in this embodiment, when a lower limb disabled person using a wheelchair rides in a car, the vehicle body protective cover 1 is in the unfolded state, allowing it to cover the threshold 2. Therefore, the wheelchair will not directly touch the threshold 2, thus preventing the threshold 2 from being scratched.
[0038] <Other Implementation Methods>
[0039] However, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and appropriate modifications can be made as needed. For example, in the above embodiments, the vehicle body protective cover is only snapped onto the floor panel FP at one location, but a structure in which it is snapped onto the floor panel FP at multiple locations can also be adopted.
[0040] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the first area portion 3 of the vehicle body protective cover 1 is disposed below the floor mat 6, but the first area portion 3 of the vehicle body protective cover 1 may also be disposed above the floor mat 6.
