Abstract
The present invention provides a shutter device for a vehicle in which a manufacturing cost is reduced. Provided is a shutter device (1) for a vehicle, which has: a frame member (10) that has an opening provided therein and is mounted on the vehicle; a fin (20) that extends in a first direction; and a rotary shaft unit (40) that pivotably supports the fin (20) on the frame member to be pivotable in the opening of the frame (10). The fin (20) is provided integrally with or independently from the rotary shaft unit (40), and the fin (20) has a uniform sectional shape in the first direction.
Claims6
A shutter device for a vehicle, which adjusts an amount of air flowing from an outside of a vehicle surface to an inside thereof, comprising:
- a frame member having an opening provided therein and mounted on the vehicle;
- a fin extending in a first direction;
- and
- a rotary shaft unit configured to pivotally support the fin on the frame member to be pivotable in the opening of the frame member,
- wherein the fin is provided integrally with or independently from the rotary shaft unit, and
- wherein the fin has a uniform sectional shape in the first direction.
A method of manufacturing a shutter device for a vehicle, the shutter device for the vehicle including, a frame member mounted on the vehicle and having an opening provided therein;
- a fin configured to extend in a first direction;
- and a rotary shaft unit configured to pivotally support the fin on the frame member to be pivotable in the opening of the frame member, the fin being integrated with or separated from the rotary shaft unit, and adjusts an amount of air flowing from an outside of a vehicle surface to an inside thereof,
- the method comprising:
- molding a long member, which becomes the fin, to have a uniform sectional shape in the first direction;
- cutting the long member at a necessary length to obtain the fin;
- and
- assembling the fin to the frame member.
