AI Technical Summary
The lower parts of the vehicle interior side of windshields and rear windshields in automobiles are difficult to reach and clean due to narrow angles with the dashboard and interior connection members, creating obstacles during cleaning.
Grooves are introduced on the dashboard and interior connection members to create spaces along the connection surfaces, facilitating easier access to these areas.
The introduction of grooves on the dashboard and connection members allows for easier cleaning by providing additional space, making it simpler to reach and clean the lower interior parts of the windshields.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an improvement in the shape of a lower connection member on the vehicle interior side of the windshield or rear windshield, or both, in an automobile.
Background Art
[0002] In an automobile where the windshield or rear windshield, or both, and the interior connection members such as the dashboard that connect to the lower part on the vehicle interior side of each glass intersect at an acute angle, the lower part on the vehicle interior side of the windshield or rear windshield, or both, is narrow and difficult to reach, so there was an obstacle when cleaning the inner surface of the lower part of each glass.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0003] An object of the present invention is to make it easier to reach the lower part on the vehicle interior side of the windshield or rear windshield, or both, and facilitate cleaning.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0004] A groove is provided on the upper surface of the dashboard along the connection surface between the dashboard, which is a lower connection member on the vehicle interior side of the windshield, and the windshield. A groove is provided on the board installed between the back of the rear seat and the lower part of the rear windshield, which is mainly a lower connection member on the vehicle interior side of the rear windshield in a sedan-type passenger car, along the connection surface between the board and the rear windshield.
Effects of the Invention
[0005] Since a groove is provided in the lower connection member on the vehicle interior side of the windshield or rear windshield, or both, and a space is formed along the connection surface between each glass and the lower connection member on the vehicle interior side, it becomes easier to reach the lower part on the vehicle interior side of both glasses and cleaning becomes easier.
Brief Description of the Drawings
[0006]
Figure 1
Figure 2
[0007] In FIG. 1, 1 is a windshield, 2 is a dashboard which is a member connected to the lower part 3 on the inner side of the windshield 1, and 4 is a bonnet. A groove 6 is provided on the upper surface of the dashboard 2 along the connection portion 5 between the dashboard 2 and the windshield 1.
[0008] Since the upper surface of the conventional dashboard was in a state 7 close to a flat surface, the upper surface 7 of the dashboard and the windshield 1 intersected at an acute angle. Therefore, the connection portion 5 between the windshield 1 and the upper surface 7 of the conventional dashboard became narrow, making it difficult to reach the lower part on the inner side of the windshield 1 and causing an obstacle to cleaning. In the present invention, a groove 6 is provided on the upper surface of the dashboard 2 along the connection portion 5 of the windshield 1, and a space is formed at the contact portion 5 between the upper surface of the dashboard 2 and the lower inner surface of the windshield 1, so that it is easy to reach the lower part on the inner side of the windshield 1 and cleaning becomes easy.
[0009] In FIG. 2, 8 is a rear windshield, 9 is a board connected to the lower part 10 on the inner side of the rear windshield 8, and is provided between the back surface 12 of the rear seat 11 and the lower part 10 on the inner side of the rear windshield 8. 13 is a trunk lid.
[0010] Conventionally, the upper surface of the board provided between the back surface 12 of the rear seat 11 and the lower inner part 10 of the rear glass 8 was in a state 16 close to a flat surface, so the upper surface 16 of the board and the rear glass 8 intersected at an acute angle. Therefore, the contact portion 14 between the rear glass 8 and the upper surface 16 of the board became narrow, making it difficult to reach the lower inner surface of the rear glass 8 and causing an obstacle to cleaning. In this embodiment, a groove 15 is provided along the connection portion 14 between the board 9 and the rear glass 8, and a space is formed in the connection portion 14 between the board 9 and the lower inner surface of the rear glass 8, so that it is easy to reach the inner surface of the rear glass 8 on the vehicle interior side and cleaning becomes easy.

Claims
【Claim 1】 In an automobile in which the lower inner connection members 2 and 9 connected to the lower part of the front glass 1 or the rear glass 8, or both glasses 1 and 8, intersect at an acute angle, grooves 6 and 15 are provided in the lower inner connection members 2 and 9 along the connection surfaces 5 and 14 between the lower part of the front glass 1 or the rear glass 8, or both glasses 1 and 8, and the lower inner connection members 2 and 9. An improvement in the lower inner connection member of the front glass or the rear glass, or both glasses, in an automobile is characterized by this.
