DEFROSTER INTERIOR STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18540967 titled 'DEFROSTER INTERIOR STRUCTURE

The abstract describes a patent application for a defroster interior structure in a vehicle, specifically focusing on the defroster outlet blowing air towards a side glass on a door.

  • The defroster outlet is positioned where the side surface of an instrument panel and the door panel overlap, creating a gap for airflow towards the side glass.
  • This design ensures efficient defrosting of the side glass by directing the airflow in a strategic manner.
  • The innovation aims to improve visibility and safety by effectively clearing frost or condensation from the side glass.
  • By optimizing the airflow path towards the side glass, the defroster interior structure enhances the overall functionality of the vehicle.
  • This technology may lead to a more comfortable and safer driving experience, especially in cold or humid conditions.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for various vehicle models - Transportation vehicles such as buses or trucks - Aftermarket automotive accessories for retrofitting older vehicles

Problems Solved: - Improved visibility during adverse weather conditions - Efficient defrosting of side glass to enhance safety - Enhanced functionality of vehicle defroster systems

Benefits: - Increased safety for drivers and passengers - Improved driving experience in challenging weather conditions - Potential energy savings by optimizing defroster airflow

Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Defroster Interior Structure for Enhanced Vehicle Safety This technology could be utilized by automotive manufacturers to enhance the safety features of their vehicles, potentially appealing to consumers looking for advanced defrosting capabilities. Aftermarket companies could also benefit from offering this technology as an upgrade for older vehicles.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the defroster outlet position contribute to the efficiency of clearing frost from the side glass? 2. What are the potential cost implications for implementing this innovative defroster interior structure in vehicles?


Original Abstract Submitted

A defroster interior structure includes a defroster outlet blowing out air toward a side glass provided on a door of a vehicle. The door includes the side glass and a door panel provided below the side glass. The defroster outlet is disposed at a position where a side surface of an instrument panel and the door panel overlap each other in a vehicle width direction. The side surface and the door panel form a gap through which an airflow blown out from the defroster outlet flows toward the side glass.
