Description

The utility model relates to means for protecting the windows of a vehicle (passenger car of the "sedan" type) from the effects of atmospheric precipitation (snow and ice), as well as the effects of sunlight, falling leaves, polluting effects of birds, etc. at parking lots and stops, and in particular to the protective mini-covers of cars.

Currently, the number of cars not only in our country but throughout the world is many times greater than the number of garages and covered parking lots for the normal maintenance of cars at any time of the year. Therefore, the vast majority of cars are almost around the clock in the open air, including in the winter season. In countries with a long winter period and negative temperatures, owners of cars on the street constantly have to clean their vehicles from snow and ice (ice rain), and in autumn - from leaves falling from trees and other debris.

From the "prior art" there are several useful models of protective covers designed to protect temporarily unused vehicles (cars), the technical solutions of which are close to the proposed utility model. However, each of the most similar analogues has a number of disadvantages that were taken into account by the author and eliminated in the proposed utility model.

So, for example, the design of the cover for protecting the windows of a passenger car is known (see RF certificate for utility model No. 38683, published July 10, 2004), which is made in the form of a shell made of moisture-proof material, containing a front tensile and rear fixing tape attaching the shell to the wings a car. In this case, the shell is made in the form of the upper part of the car body and tightly overlapping the covering surface of the windows and air intakes on the car hood. The front end of the shell is connected to the front tape along its length, and the rear end of the shell is connected to the rear tape on the tape section along the width of the rear window, while cutouts for side-view mirrors are made in the shell and tension tapes with Velcro fasteners are installed. Hooks are attached to the ends of the tapes to connect with the wings of the car.

However, the wings of a car are subject to constant pollution even in the winter, therefore both the hooks and the ends of the tapes will also become dirty. In addition, on the wing of the car

due to winter driving, a layer of ice and / or ice often forms, which also complicates the fastening of the cover with hooks to the wings of the car. The shell fabric and ribbons should be tightly stretched, because with gusts of wind the hooks can fly off the wings of the car due to the windage of the shell canvas. In addition, installing this cover on a car body alone can cause a certain difficulty: the hooks do not have latches and therefore can go out of engagement when the owner sets the hooks on the other side of the car. In addition, the cover can be easily removed by strangers, since the hooks can be carefully removed from the wings, while no security alarm will work.

The disadvantages of this utility model should also include:

- the need to install specially made covers on the side-view mirrors;

- the complexity of the design and manufacturing technology;

- This shell can only be used for a specific brand of car, since it is made in the form of the upper part of the body.

A universal mini-case for protecting a passenger car is also known (see Utility Model Patent RU N119293, B60J 11/00 publ. 08/20/2012), made in the form of a shell made of a moisture-proof material, containing front and rear fixing bands securing the shell to wings of the car using the hooks at the ends of the tapes. The shell is made in the shape of the front of the upper part of the car body with a tight overlap of the surface of the windshield and side windows, the roof of the car and air intakes on the hood of the car and with the possibility of using the front and back sides of the shell. In addition, the tapes are rubberized and stretchable, and the ends of the tapes are either detachable with a buckle-lock, or with the ability to adjust their length and disconnect with a buckle-lock. Hooks are attached to the ends of the tapes to connect with the wings of the car.

As in the above case design according to St. N38683, the cape is attached to the front and rear fenders of the car by means of sewn-in fixing tapes and hooks, that is, hooks and tapes are subject to contamination. The canvas tightly pressed to the car body contributes to its freezing to the body in the winter and excessive heating of the body in the summer. And besides, the problem of the safety of the cover remains unsolved: the hooks are easy to remove from the wings of the car during parking.

Also known is a universal protective mini-cover for a passenger car according to the patent N81685, B60J 11/00, for a utility model, (Published on March 27, 2009).

The universal mini-case contains a rectangular cloak of elastic waterproof fabric and a system for attaching it to the wings of the car through hooks. The fastening system is equipped with universal front and rear mounts made in the form of tightening cords located in the front of the car at the edges and attached to the cape in the area

installation of side view mirrors. At the rear of the car, tightening cords are located in the radial pockets of the cloak. The hooks have an elastic coating and are attached to the cape with fabric straps with a contact type tape with an adjustable length.

The used fasteners in the form of several tightening cords placed on the corners of the cloak provide only a reduction in the sailing of the canvas, tightening the corners of the fabric and reducing the gap between the cover and the body, thereby increasing the load on the fabric.

As in the cover designs discussed above, according to certificates No. 38683 and N119293, the cape is attached to the wings of the car by means of sewn-in tapes and hooks, that is, hooks and tapes are still subject to contamination.

All three of the above models of covers have the same significant drawback - the problem of their protection and safety from unwanted removal by unauthorized people remains unresolved. In addition, the hooking devices of the covers in the form of hooks for the wings of the car are not fixed in any way and can be easily removed even when the alarm is on.

Also known is a protective cover for a car windshield according to the utility model patent [4] (patent RU No. 68964, class B60J11 / 00 (Pub. 10.12.2007 Bull. No. 34). This cape is intended to protect only the windshield of a car from the effects of precipitation (snow and ice), as well as the action of sunlight.

The protective cape consists of a flexible shell made of three sections - the middle one, corresponding to the size of the windshield, and two extreme trapezoidal pockets with recesses for the side mirrors, while rubber belts are sewn on the smaller bases of the trapezoidal sections - holders and shortened handles made of water-repellent material, and a frill is sewn on the lower base of the middle section.

However, the side windows and the rear window of the car when using this design remain completely unprotected, and the car owner still has to clear all other unprotected windows from snow or ice. In addition, the so-called frill sewn along the lower base of the middle section of the cover-cape to the windshield has a narrow width, does not fasten to the car, and even with a slight wind during a snowfall it does not protect the wipers and the lower part of the windshield from snow falling on them. In contact with a warm windshield after driving, the snow melts, then when frozen turns into ice and the wiper blades freeze to the glass. If this cloak is pressed to the glass with the wiper blades from above, then the latter are outside the cloak and are exposed to snow or ice.

At the same time, it should be noted that in this design of the mini-cover on the windshield there is already a technical solution that allows you to protect it from unwanted removal by unauthorized persons. On the sides of the capes on the windshield rubberized straps are sewn-holders,

which are pinched by the front doors of the car, thereby protecting it from theft.

Closest to the claimed author of the utility model is a protective cover for a car [5] according to certificate RU No. 94913, class. B60J 11/00, (published on June 10, 2010 Bull. No. 16) for a utility model.

The cover contains a wrap of waterproof fabric and fastening elements in the form of tightening cords. The main tightening cord is sewn movably into the front and sides of the cape and both ends are stretched, connected to each other and placed in the trunk. An additional tightening cord is sewn movably into the back side of the cape, at one end this cord is fixed to the main cord at the place of its exit from the side of the cape, and the other end of the cord is equipped with a movable clamp-clamp. Cutouts are made on the sides of the cloak above the door handles, in each of which a hooking device is movably mounted on the open part of the cord, including a belt, covering the cord with one end of the loop, and a hook on the other end of the belt for engaging on the door handle.

This cover, unlike the previous cape, protects not only the windshield, but also all the other windows of the car - side and rear. The technical solution to ensure the safety and protection of this cover from unwanted removal by unauthorized persons, unlike the previous model, consists of a tightening cord sewn into the front and sides of the cape, the connected ends of which are placed in the trunk.

The disadvantage of this cover is that when installing it on a car, wiper blades (wipers) must be threaded into the cutouts on the front of the cloak, and the exposed parts of the main tightening cord should be hooked onto the wiper drive rollers. At the same time, the wiper blades themselves remain outside on top of the cover and are exposed to atmospheric precipitation in the form of snow and / or ice from freezing rain. If the wiper blades are left under the cover, then due to the design features of various models of cars, fixing the cover due to the cord covering the drive rollers becomes unreliable, especially in windy weather. In addition, in many car models, the drive rollers of the wipers are recessed and hidden under the hood, and installation of a cover in this case becomes difficult or even impossible.

Despite these shortcomings, the above utility model [5], as the closest analogue, can be adopted as a prototype of the claimed model.

The objective of the proposed utility model is to eliminate the above disadvantages of the utility model provided as a prototype [5], and at the same time to create a lightweight protective agent from durable moisture-proof materials for temporarily unused

vehicle, namely a protective cover for car windows, which allows protecting all windows from atmospheric phenomena (snow, ice, ice, sun rays), as well as meeting the following requirements: ease of manufacture and use, quick installation and removal from a temporarily unused car , small dimensions, dimensions and weight, ensuring the compactness of the device for storing when folded in the car (when not in use), anti-vandalism (theft protection), versatility for all brands of cars.

The essence of the utility model as a technical solution is to improve the mounting system of the universal protective mini-cover on the car, as well as to ensure its safety from unwanted removal by unauthorized persons.

The technical result is ensured by the fact that the protective cover is attached to the door handles, to the hood or grille, and to the car trunk using hooks at the ends of rubberized tapes of adjustable length. The technical result in ensuring the safety of the cover from unwanted removal by unauthorized persons is achieved by the presence of additional rubberized tapes on the side parts of the cape, pinched by the doors of the car.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated by graphic materials, where in Fig. 1 shows a general view of the protective cover from above, and in Fig. 2 (side) and Fig. 3 (top) schematically shows the construction of attaching a mini-case to a car, namely to the hood, trunk and door handles, using hooks at the ends of rubberized tapes of adjustable length sewn to the lower edge of the cape.

Universal protective mini-case consists of an elastic cape (1) made of waterproof lightweight material (such as polyester or nylon), covering only the roof and all the windows of the car. The lower part of the car body remains open. This form of the cape allows you to reduce the size of the cover to the required minimum, thereby ensuring its compactness. A rubberized cord (the length of which can be adjusted for a specific car) is sewn along the entire contour of the cape, with the help of which the cover fits the car body tightly and prevents snow from entering the windows from below. The presence of such a rubberized edge makes the cover universal for any car brands. A frill (2) is sewn along the lower base in the front of the cover, which overlaps the wipers and part of the hood.

Rubberized straps (3) are sewn to the sides of the cover, the length of which can be adjusted, if necessary, depending on the specific brand of car. Hooks are sewn at the ends of these belts, with the help of which the cover is attached to the car door handles.

Similar rubberized belts (4 and 5), the length of which can also be adjusted, are sewn to the front and back of the cover to fasten it to the hood or to the radiator grille, and to the trunk of the car. To prevent scratches when securing the cover on the car door handles, for the hood

or radiator grill, and for the trunk - the hooks must be equipped with an elastic and soft coating (not shown in the drawings).

Additional rubberized belts (6) located on the sides of the cover are jammed by the front and rear doors of the car, thereby, if not completely preventing, then at least complicating the undesirable easy removal (theft) of this cover from a temporarily unused car by unauthorized persons if it was left by the owner in unguarded territory.

Since many modern cars are equipped with external antennas on the roof, slots (7) are provided in the front and rear of the cover for threading the antenna through the cover, thereby preventing damage to the antenna during use of the cover.

Despite the fact that the cover itself is made of waterproof material, it is recommended to make a bag cover from the same material for its compact storage in the trunk of a car.
