Description
【発明の詳細な説明】 本発明は走行時車両か受ける空気抵抗の改善に関する。[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to improving the air resistance experienced by a vehicle while driving.
従来、車両は２個の操舵される。このような操舵輪は車
両の走行安定性を考慮して車体とけは同程度の幅をもっ
て車体内に配されている。従って、操舵時、操舵輪は車
体から突出することとなるので、車輪の交！！Ｉｔ！を
容易にすることと併せて車体にはホイールアーチ部が形
成されていた。Traditionally, vehicles are steered in two ways. In consideration of the running stability of the vehicle, such steering wheels are arranged within the vehicle body with approximately the same width as the vehicle body. Therefore, when steering, the steering wheels protrude from the vehicle body, making it difficult to cross the wheels. ! It! Wheel arches were formed on the car body to make it easier.

空隙によって乱れることとなって、ホイールアーチ部は
高速走行時車両に対する空気抵抗の大きな原因となって
いた。In this wheel arch section, the air flow along the side of the vehicle body is disturbed by the difference in level between the steering wheel and the side surface of the vehicle body, or the gap between the two, and the wheel arch section has a large air resistance against the vehicle when driving at high speed. It was the cause.

に形成したことにある。Therefore, one object of the present invention is to reduce the turbulence of airflow at the wheel arch portion. The technical means are
The steering wheel moves two wheels relative to the vehicle body in response to the steering operation, and the wheel arches formed in the vehicle body are moved at the top of the suspension system that does not move up and down relative to the vehicle body. In addition to attaching the cover, this cover is formed in such a way that it is connected to the outer panel of the east body very quickly when the vehicle is moving at night.

This has the effect of not only improving fuel efficiency when driving at high speeds with a small operating angle, but also improving the running performance and stability of the vehicle. Furthermore, the wheel cover also has the effect of preventing mud from splashing during rainy weather.
以下、添付図面に基いて本発明の一実施例を説明する。Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

ないようになっている。In FIG. 1, a front wheel cover 12 is attached to the vehicle IO so as to cover a front wheel 1, which is a steered wheel. This front wheel cover has a roughly semicircular shape of 12 pieces,
When going straight as shown in the diagram, the front fender of the vehicle body - 1
4, it is formed and arranged so as to close an arch portion 18 formed in a substantially semicircular shape, and to be continuous with the front fender 14 without any difference in level. 2. As shown in Fig. 2, when the steering wheel (not shown) is operated, the front wheels 1

る。Next, the front wheel cover 1 described above according to FIG.
The supplementary letter P of 2 will be explained. FIG. 8 shows a Matsuku Quarson strut type suspension system. One end of the lower arm 19 is supported by a cross member 20 via a pin 20a, and the other end is the lower end of the lower suspension par 22 of the strut 15. It is rotatably attached via a pole join) 22m. The upper suspension par 23 of the strut 15 is rotatably attached to an inner plate i extending from the front fender 14 into the vehicle body via a ball joint 28a. Here, a bush may be used instead of the ball joint 23M. The upper suspension par 23 of this strut] 5 fits into the lower suspension par 22, and the spring taps 17.18 formed on the periphery of both suspension pars 22.28.
Suspension stripes 11 and 16 are arranged between them.

Strut 15 via multi-joints 22m and 23m
Since the lower arm 19 is movable and the suspension spring of the strut 15 is movable, the front wheel 11 can be displaced in the vertical direction in the drawing. In addition, the strut 15 is rotatable in the direction A in the drawing or in the opposite direction B in the drawings with respect to the lower arm 19 and the vehicle body plate h via both ball joints 22 m and 23 m. Therefore, by operating the steering wheel, the front wheels 11 are steered around the axis connecting the pole joints 22m and 23m.

It will be moved. Front wheel cover that cares about the front wheel] Even if the front wheel cover 2 is placed within the arch part 1:3, the front wheel 1 will not be affected at all.
There is no problem with the steering or suspension of 1.
