Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the degree of freedom in car body designing and reduce the air resistance during traveling by connecting a front windshild shield with front pillars and dividing the front windshild shield into upper and lower parts by a frame member constituted to an air conditioning duct. CONSTITUTION:A windshild shield 1 is divided into an upper windshild shield 2 and a lower window shield 3 by a supporting frame 4 connected with right and left front pillars. The supporting frame 4 forms a closed sectional surface 6 by welding two members 4a and 4b, and a channel 8 for accommodating a duct member 7 is formed inside. A number of holes 9 are formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the duct member 7, and a cut part 10 coinciding with the hole 9 is formed on the supporting frame 4, and the air conditioning air introduced into the closed sectional surface 7a of the duct member 7 is blown out. Thus, the holding strength of the windshild shield and the degree of freedom of car body designing can be improved.

(Prior art) - In the vehicle i, if the overall length of the vehicle body is constant, the cabin space is increased as the lower end of the front windshield (windshield, hereinafter simply referred to as "windshield") is positioned forward. This improves the comfort of the vehicle.Also, from a vehicle design perspective, if it is possible to extend the lower end of the windshield to a lower position in the front of the vehicle, the windshield can be tilted that much. Since it can be placed in a lying position, reducing air resistance during driving and increasing the degree of freedom in car body design (it is possible to form a continuous curved surface on a slanted bonft), there has been a particular demand for this in recent years. It's increasing.
