Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an automobile cover which is attached to a specific portion of a truck or an RV vehicle for the purpose of preventing stains and scratches and also as a decoration.

[0002]

[Prior art and its problems]

 Members such as the fenders of the cabins of trucks and RVs and the under-door members form the front part of the vehicle, so they are very noticeable. However, conventional members of this type were uniform, as they were designed by the manufacturer and only painted (genuine parts). . Therefore, recently, it has become popular to remake these members on the user side in order to distinguish them from other vehicles.

Since these members are required to attract other people's eyes, it is a condition that they are shining (light) in addition to a highly attractive design. Therefore, although stainless steel plates are used, the cost of production is very high because it is a handmade product. Also, since it is necessary to remove genuine parts when installing, this task is troublesome.

On the other hand, since genuine parts are made by only painting an iron plate, they will be immediately scratched if they come into contact with or get in contact with pebbles during boarding / alighting. Therefore, the present invention has solved these problems by making the covers from a hard chrome-plated iron plate and by mounting the covers over genuine parts.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Under the above problems, the present invention relates to automobile covers such as a fender cover, a rear side pillar cover, and a door garnish. These covers are made of chrome plated iron plate and It provides automobile covers that can be mounted over the covers.

By taking the above means in the present invention, it is possible to inexpensively manufacture the light by plating the iron plate with chrome. Also, scratching can be prevented by applying hard chrome plating. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to remove genuine parts, the cost can be reduced in this respect as well.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a fender cover (hereinafter referred to as a cover) that is attached to cover a regular fender cover of a truck. A cover 10 having such a design is formed by using an iron plate with a thickness of about 1 mm The surface is chrome plated. This cover is usually manufactured to match the shape of genuine parts, but it may have another shape.

The cover 10 is attached so as to cover the genuine parts. There are various mounting methods. One is to form a mounting hole 12 in the cover 10 and a similar hole in a genuine part (a mating member), and fix it through a screw. Since it is preferable that the mounting hole 12 is inconspicuous as much as possible, it is suitable to form it in a bent edge or the like. Also, recently, a double-sided adhesive tape or the like capable of adhering to a metal has been on the market, and may be affixed with it (in this case, the mounting hole 12 is unnecessary).

By the way, the cover 10 may be formed by pressing or by hand making such as tapping. In any case, since the thin iron plate is the material, its forming is very easy. In particular, even in the case of press working, only the male mold can be used, and the female mold can be molded using only the soft elastic member such as foamed ethylene (if necessary, a template having a properly cut product shape is also used). Therefore, the cost of the mold is reduced, because an expensive female mold is not required.

FIG. 2 is a side view of the truck cabin 14 to which the cover 10 is attached as described above. In addition to this, a cover of this type may be attached to parts around the front such as the rear side pillars and door lower members. . In this case, the rear side pillar cover 16, the door garnish 18 and the like may be manufactured by the same method and attached by the same method as described above. Furthermore, it is conceivable to attach a cover of this kind to the parts forming the rear part as well.

[0011]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, since the present invention is the one described above, the following effects can be expected. 1) Outstanding covers such as fender covers, rear side pillar covers, and door garnishes can be made up of glittering objects with a desired design, which gives a high decorative effect. 2) These covers are made by plating a steel plate with chrome, and since genuine parts are mounted on the genuine parts as they are, the manufacturing costs and installation costs can be very low. 3) The surface is hardened by chrome plating, so it will not be damaged even if it is hit by pebbles. 4) Since genuine parts that have just been painted are covered with this cover, it is possible to prevent scratches on genuine parts.
