Description

[Technical field]

[0001] To provide an insect screen door for a car window that can be easily attached to a car window or a car window frame, ventilates the outside air and the inside air of the car, prevents small insects such as mosquitoes from entering the car, and further prevents rain and water from entering the car when the window is closed, and can be permanently installed. [Background technology]

[0002] In hot seasons such as summer, windows are opened while driving or parked to ventilate the vehicle and lower the temperature and humidity inside the vehicle. In addition, due to the recent camping boom, the number of people sleeping in camper vans or wagons is increasing, but the temperature and humidity inside the vehicle may be high when sleeping, and windows may be opened to ventilate the vehicle with outside air and lower the temperature and humidity inside the vehicle. However, opening the windows causes a problem that insects such as mosquitoes can get into the vehicle. In addition, it is possible to cool the vehicle by closing the windows, but this leads to the problem of consuming fuel by running the engine, or even if the air conditioner is driven by a battery, multiple large batteries are required to run the air conditioner for a long time.

[0003] Therefore, various types of window screens for automobiles have been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 (JP 2023-047385 A) describes a method of fixing a window screen by attaching a frame of the window screen to the outside of the vehicle (outside of the window).

[0004] Furthermore, Patent Document 2 (Utility Model Registration No. 3130274) proposes a metal fitting for attaching a screen door. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2023-047385 [Patent Document 2] Utility model registration No. 3130274 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the frame of the screen protrudes from the outside of the vehicle body, which impairs the original appearance of the vehicle and creates air resistance.

[0007] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 2, special metal fittings are required to attach the screen door, and there is a concern that the metal fittings may damage the vehicle body, window frames, waterproof gaskets, etc.

[0008] To provide an insect screen door for a vehicle window which can be easily attached to a vehicle window or a vehicle window frame without changing the original appearance of the vehicle and without using any special metal fittings for installation, and which prevents the intrusion of insects. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] As described in claim 1, the insect screen for car windows of the present invention comprises a first frame that is open on the inside and is attached to the car window or car window frame, a second frame that is open on the inside like the first frame, and a net that is sandwiched between the first and second frames, the net being sandwiched between the first and second frames with a highly waterproof adhesive and fixed all around, and is characterized in that the screen is attached to the car window or car window frame on the inside of the vehicle, and the first and second frames do not protrude from the exterior of the vehicle.

[0010] Furthermore, as described in claim 2, the insect repellent screen for car windows of the present invention has an overall thickness of 2 mm or less, and is further characterized in that it is fixed to the car window or car window frame with an extremely thin double-sided tape with excellent waterproofing, without using fasteners made of special metals, etc.

[0011] Therefore, even in the case of small sliding windows formed as part of the windows of vehicles such as campers and wagons, the screen can be installed at all times without interfering with the opening and closing of the small window, and further has the advantage of being able to prevent rain and water from entering the vehicle when the small window is closed. Effect of the Invention

[0012] The insect screen door for vehicle windows of the present invention comprises a first frame that is open on the inside and is attached to the vehicle window or vehicle window frame, a second frame that is open on the inside like the first frame, and a net that is sandwiched between the first and second frames, and is fixed between the first and second frames with adhesive, and is attached to the vehicle window or vehicle window frame on the inside of the vehicle, and the first and second frames do not protrude from the exterior of the vehicle, allowing ventilation and insect protection without compromising the original appearance of the vehicle body. Furthermore, since the net is fixed around the entire circumference of the first and second frames with an adhesive that has excellent waterproofing, there is no gap between the first and second frames, and small insects, rain, and water cannot get in.

[0013] Furthermore, the insect screen for car windows of the present invention is characterized in that the overall thickness of the screen is 2 mm or less, and further, it is fixed to the car window or car window frame with extremely thin, highly waterproof double-sided tape, without using fasteners made of special metals.

[0014] Therefore, the vehicle is not damaged by metal and can be easily attached, and since a double-sided tape with excellent waterproofing is used, rain and water can be prevented from entering between the vehicle window and the insect screen for vehicle windows. Furthermore, since the thickness is extremely thin, it can be installed in a small window that is formed in a part of the window of a vehicle such as a camper or a wagon and can be opened by sliding, and in a narrow gap between the small window and the small window packing, and can be installed at all times while the small window can be opened and closed, making it suitable as a screen for a small window of a wagon or the like. In addition, since water can be prevented from entering the inside of the vehicle if the small window is closed, the vehicle can be washed with the insect screen for vehicle windows of the present invention attached, even when washing the vehicle with a car wash machine at a gas station or by hand washing. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0015] [Figure 1] 1 is a schematic explanatory diagram showing an insect screen for a vehicle window of the present invention. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a schematic explanatory diagram showing the state in which double-sided tape has been attached to the insect screen for a car window of the present invention in order to attach it to a car window frame. [Diagram 3] FIG. 1 is a schematic explanatory diagram showing an insect screen for vehicle windows according to the present invention attached to a small window formed in part of a window of a wagon or the like. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] The insect screen for car windows according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a first frame which is open on the inside and is attached to the car window or car window frame, a second frame which is open on the inside like the first frame, and a net which is sandwiched between the first and second frames, the net being sandwiched between the first and second frames with a highly waterproof adhesive and fixed all around, and further attached to the car window or car window frame on the inside of the car with double-sided tape.

[0017] This allows ventilation and insect protection without the frame of the insect screen for car windows protruding from the vehicle. Also, because the first frame, second frame, and net are fixed all around with a highly waterproof adhesive, there is no gap between the first frame and the second frame, preventing the intrusion of small insects. Furthermore, by using a highly waterproof double-sided tape to attach the insect screen for car windows of the present invention to the car window frame, it is possible to prevent rain and water from entering the car interior when the window is closed, even when the insect screen for car windows of the present invention is installed.

[0018] In addition, the overall thickness of the screen door is thin, at less than 2 mm, and the double-sided tape used to attach it to the car window or car window frame is also extremely thin. This means that it can be installed between the car window and the sliding small window or small window gasket in small windows that can be opened by sliding them open, such as in campers and wagons, and it can be installed without making the small window difficult to open or close. EXAMPLES

[0019] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in Fig. 1, the insect screen door 10 for a vehicle window of the embodiment is composed of a first frame 12 that is open on the inside, is roughly rectangular, and is attached to the vehicle window, a second frame 13 that is open on the inside like the first frame and is placed on the inside of the vehicle, and a net 11 that is sandwiched between the first frame 12 and the second frame 13 and is slightly smaller in outer diameter than the first frame 12 and the second frame 13. The first frame 12 and the second frame 13 having the same shape is optimal in terms of manufacturing efficiency, since it is possible to reduce the number of parts. It is also preferable that the first frame 12 and the second frame 13 have shapes such as cutouts 16 formed in part of them, since these can be used to distinguish between the front and back of the frame and to determine the position for attachment to the vehicle window.

[0020] Next, the fixing of the net 11 to the first frame 12 and the second frame 13 will be described. A highly waterproof adhesive 14 is applied to the first frame 12 on the opposite side to the surface to be attached to the car window over the entire length so that there are no gaps. Next, the net 11, which is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the first frame 12, is placed on the first frame 12 with the adhesive 14 applied thereto so that it does not protrude from the outer periphery of the first frame 12. It is preferable to apply additional adhesive 14 over the entire circumference on the placed net 11, as this increases the adhesive strength. After the second frame 13 is placed on the first frame 12 over the net 11 to which the adhesive 14 is applied, the adhesive is cured to form the insect screen door 10 for the car window. By applying a highly waterproof adhesive over the entire circumference so that there are no gaps, it is possible to prevent small insects, rain, and water from entering the car through the gap between the first frame 12 and the second frame 13, and it is also possible to increase the adhesive strength.

[0021] Next, a method for installing the insect screen for car windows of the present invention on a vehicle window will be described. First, as shown in Fig. 2, double-sided tape 15 is attached over the entire length of the surface of first frame 12 that will be attached to the car window. By attaching it over the entire length, there is no gap between the insect screen for car windows of the present invention and the car window, preventing insects from entering the car interior. Furthermore, by using double-sided tape 15 with excellent waterproofing, it is possible to prevent rain and water from entering the car interior.

[0022] 3 shows an example in which the insect screen door 10 for vehicle windows of the present invention is arranged on a small window 21 that is formed in part of a window 20 of a camper or wagon and can be opened and closed by sliding. However, the small window will be described with a simple structure consisting of small window glass 26, small window frame 24, and small window gasket 25.

[0023] First, the small window 21 is removed from the small window slide groove 23 formed in the window. Then, the insect screen door for car windows 10 of the present invention is fixed with double-sided tape 15 at a position 22 in the window 20 that corresponds to the small window being closed. After that, the small window is returned to its original slide groove 23 and attached. The insect screen door for car windows 10 of the present invention is sandwiched between the window 20 and the small window packing 25 formed in the small window frame 24. Therefore, even if the insect screen door for car windows of the present invention is always in place, when the small window is closed, the small window packing 25, the insect screen door for car windows 10 of the present invention, the double-sided tape 15, and the window 20 prevent rain and water from entering the interior of the car.

[0024] Furthermore, since this embodiment is an insect screen for car windows with an overall thickness of 2.0 mm or less, even if the small window is returned to its original sliding groove with this product installed, the small window gasket 24 only deforms somewhat strongly, and the small window 21 can be opened and closed as usual without any difficulty.
