[Brief description of the drawings]

[0011] [Figure 1] 1A, 1B, and 1C are diagrams showing the shape of a remover for peeling off automobile parts according to different embodiments of the present invention. [Diagram 2] FIG. 1 is a process diagram showing the removal of a fender flare. [Diagram 3] FIG. 1 is a process diagram showing the removal of a rear lamp cover from an automobile. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of a remover (belt-shaped tool) for removing automobile parts according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0013] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the shape of a part peeling remover. As shown in FIG. 1(A), the part peeling remover 1 is basically a rectangular strip-shaped web, and the preferred dimensions from the viewpoint of operability are 0.4 mm thick, 35 mm wide, and 300 mm long, but the thickness is 0.35-0.6 mm, the width is 30-60 mm, and the length is 250-500 mm. The thickness is limited to 0.35-0.6 mm because it can enter a small gap of 0.4 mm, and if the thickness is less than 0.35 mm and the width is less than 30 mm, the tensile strength is small and there is a risk that the width is insufficient when wrapping and peeling off the corners of exterior and interior parts. The width is set to 60 mm or less in consideration of the fact that the width becomes too wide and the operability is reduced. The length is set to the range of 250-600 mm in consideration of the operability that is not too short or too long.

[0014] However, the part peeling remover 1 is not limited to the web of the basic shape shown in FIG. 1(A), but may be a part peeling remover 1A that includes a rectangular strip portion 1a, which is the basic shape described above, and has a tapered strip portion 1b at one end, or a part peeling remover 1B that has trapezoidal portions 1b, 1c at both ends, as shown in FIG. 1(B) or FIG. 1(C).

[0015] The part peeling removers 1, 1A, and 1B can be used to peel off exterior and interior parts of a fitting structure fitted into a recess or opening in the exterior or interior surface of an automobile body panel.

[0016] The part peeling removers 1, 1A, and 1B are required to have thermoplastic properties that are highly durable, resistant to chemicals, water, oil, and alkali, and have high electrical insulation. Examples of plastic sheets that meet these conditions include sheets made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PSU (polysulfone), VDFP (polyvinylidene fluoride), and PPS (polyphenylene sulfide). As an attached exterior part that can be peeled off using part peeling removers 1, 1A, and 1B, a) Covers for lighting lamps such as headlights, taillights, and fog lights, b) Front and rear bumpers to absorb shock and protect the vehicle body; c) A front grille, side mirrors and rear-view mirrors with vents for engine cooling; d) Decorative mouldings around doors and windows; e) Emblems indicating the manufacturer and model name, f) Fender flares that act as decorative panels around the wheels and mudguards, g) Roof rails for mounting roof carriers; The following are some of the reasons: In addition, applicable fitting interior parts include: h) Door pockets, i) Instrument panel (dashboard) covers, j) Centre console, k) Glove box Examples include:

[0017] The part peeling removers 1, 1A, and 1B may be applicable to any two or more of the multiple types of fitted-on exterior parts and any two or more types of fitted-on interior parts.

[0018] To peel off an exterior or interior part using the part peeling remover 1, 1A, 1B, first, the fitting state of the exterior or interior part is observed, and one side edge is hooked onto one end of the exterior or interior part to search for a small gap between the exterior or interior surface of the body panel. If a small gap exists, one side edge of the part peeling remover 1, 1A, 1B having a thickness of 0.35-0.6 mm can be inserted. Then, if the one side edge can be inserted deeply into the small gap while moving the strip back and forth in the longitudinal direction with the one side edge being inserted, both sides of the strip can be present on the front side with the strip inserted to the back side of the exterior or interior part, and the exterior or interior part can be peeled off by gripping both ends of the part peeling remover 1, 1A, 1B and pulling the both ends together.

[0019] Figure 2 is a process diagram showing the removal of a fender flare F. Since the fender flare F has a minute gap that extends to the back side at the arc-shaped end and has multiple attachment points, the part removal remover 1 is inserted inward (back side) into the minute gap at the arc-shaped end and slid to the vicinity of the attachment point to remove that attachment point, and then the part removal remover 1 is reinserted into the gap so that it is positioned near the next attachment point, or slid, to remove the next attachment point. The fender flare F and the body panel are not scratched.

[0020] FIG. 3 is a process diagram showing the removal of a rear lamp cover K from an automobile. The lamp cover K has a pointed portion K1 when viewed from the front. As shown in FIG. 3(A), one side edge of the part peeling remover 1 is inserted into the gap between the pointed portion K1 of the lamp cover K and the body panel, and wrapped around it less than 360° as shown in FIG. 3(B) and FIG. 3(C), and peeled off as shown in FIG. 3(D) and FIG. 3(E). This prevents the pointed portion K1 of the lamp cover K and the body panel from being scratched.

[0021] If no minute gap exists, the tip of a comb-shaped body made of plastic can be forced between the exterior / interior part and the surface of the body panel to create a minute gap, then one side edge of the 0.35-0.6 mm thick part peeling remover 1 can be inserted, so that both sides of the strip can be present on the front side with the strip inserted all the way to the back side of the exterior / interior part, and the exterior / interior part can be peeled off.

[0022] As long as a small gap can be created between one end of these exterior / interior parts and the outer surface of the body panel, if there is no gap, a small gap can be created by inserting the cornerless, arcuately bent tip of a thin, hard comb-shaped tool, and then inserting the part peeling remover 1 of the present invention into the small gap and hooking it onto the exterior / interior part or passing it through the back of the exterior / interior part and extending both sides forward, and then grasping both ends of the strip and pulling it toward you to peel off the exterior / interior part.
