Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a washer mounting structure in an automobile.

For example, when a trailer is coupled to the rear of a tractor, it may be necessary for the driver of the tractor to visually check the coupler through a window at the rear of the vehicle compartment. However, in conventional tractors, the window at the rear of the cabin, that is, the rear window, is not equipped with a wiper, so if the window glass is dirty, it is difficult to see the coupler, so the driver often Alternatively, it was inconvenient for an assistant to clean the window glass. Therefore, it is required to install a wiper on the rear window, and if a wiper is installed, a washer is also required, but in the case of a tractor compartment, the washer is placed in the empty spaces of the inner and outer panels that make up the compartment. It is generally extremely difficult to do so.

This invention was devised in view of the above circumstances.
A washer stay is fastened together with a wiper device to the outer panel of the vehicle interior close to the window glass, a washer nozzle is fixed on the first arm of the washers stay, and a clamp for holding the washer hose is fixed on the second arm. The main points are as follows. According to the present invention, the washer stay is fastened together with the wiper device and fixed to the exterior panel of the vehicle interior, and the washer nozzle and the washer hose clamp are supported and fixed on the same stay, so the structure is extremely simple and inexpensive, and the washer nozzle can be fixed to the specified position. It has the advantage of being able to be placed in the correct direction and position.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, in FIG. 1, 10 generally indicates a tractor cabin, 12 a door, 1
4 is a rear window, 16 is a generally known wiper device, and a part of its detailed structure is shown in the second section.
As shown in the figure. 18 is a wash nozzle, 2
0 is a washer hose whose one end is connected to the above-mentioned washer nozzle, and the other end is connected to a washer liquid tank 24 provided on the inside of the car at the step 22 below the door 12 in the case of this embodiment. In FIG. 1, the washer nozzle 18 is attached along the lower surface of the passenger compartment 10 by a large number of clamps, which are not shown to avoid crowding, and extends along the rear outer panel of the passenger compartment.
is connected to. Reference numeral 26 denotes a wash stay for fixing the wash nozzle 18 and the wash hose 20 near the nozzle.

As shown in detail in FIGS. 2 and 3, the wash stay 26 consists of first and second generally L-shaped thin plate members 28 and 30, both of which are secured by rivets (or bolts or spots). They are fixed together by welding) 32. A long hole 34 is provided at one end of the first member 28, and through this long hole 34, the first member 28, together with the wiper device 16, is fastened to the rear outer panel 36 of the passenger compartment with bolts or the like (not shown). There is. In addition, the above-mentioned vehicle exterior panel 3
The first arm 28' of the first member 28, which extends away from (in this example generally perpendicular to) 6, is provided with a hole 38 in which the nozzle 4
A washer nozzle 18 having a diameter of 0 is fixed. On the other hand, the second arm 30' of the second member 30 has
Clamp 4 for fixing the washer hose 20
2 is fixed.

In addition, in FIG. 2, 44 is the wiper device 16.
The reciprocating rotating arm 46 indicates a jet stream of washer liquid.

According to the above structure, the stay 26 for attaching the washer nozzle 18 to the attaching portion of the rotating arm 44 of the wiper device 16 is fastened together and fixed, and the washer nozzle 18 is attached to the first arm 28' of the stay. Washer hose 2 on second arm 30'
Since the clamp 42 for fixing the washer hose 20 is attached, the washer hose 20 is protected against vibrations, external forces, etc.
This prevents the washer nozzle 18 from falling off and
to maintain the correct position of the rear window 1.
The wiping effect of the wiper device 16 on the window glass of No. 4 can always be ensured. Furthermore, stay 26
The mounting hole 34 for the outer panel 36 of the vehicle compartment is made into a long hole as shown in FIG.
Rotational displacement and loosening of the tightening nut due to external force can be reliably prevented. Since it is only necessary to provide the wash stay 26 when installing the wash nozzle 18 and the wash hose 20, it can be easily installed on the rear window of a tractor, etc., and the structure is extremely simple and inexpensive, and the installation work and maintenance are simple. This has the advantage that inspection can be carried out easily and quickly.

As mentioned above, the washer mounting structure for an automobile according to the present invention is such that the washer stay is fastened together with the wiper device to the outer panel of the vehicle body close to the window glass, and the washer nozzle is fixed on the first arm of the washer stay. Additionally, a clamp for holding the washer hose is fixed on the second arm, making it possible to provide a device of this type that is simple in structure, inexpensive, and stable against vibrations and external forces, and is thus useful in practice. It is.
