Abstract
A utility vehicle includes a windshield. The windshield includes an upper panel, a lower panel, and a hinge coupling the upper panel and the lower panel to each other such that the upper panel and the lower panel are allowed to be folded or unfolded. In a state where the upper panel and the lower panel are unfolded, the hinge is positioned either parallel to a horizontal plane or tilted relative to the horizontal plane such that a front side of the hinge is tilted toward the lower panel.
Claims17
A vehicle comprising a windshield, wherein
- the windshield includes
- an upper panel,
- a lower panel, and
- a hinge coupling the upper panel and the lower panel such that the upper panel and the lower panel are allowed to be folded or unfolded, and
- in a state where the upper panel and the lower panel are unfolded, the hinge is positioned either parallel to a horizontal plane or tilted relative to the horizontal plane such that a front side of the hinge is tilted toward the lower panel.
A vehicle comprising a windshield, wherein
- the windshield includes
- a body portion made of a transparent material, and
- a convex portion located in an intermediate portion of the body portion in a top-bottom direction, projecting forward from the body portion, and extending in a vehicle width direction, and
- the convex portion is positioned either parallel to a horizontal plane or tilted relative to the horizontal plane such that a front side of the convex portion is tilted downward.
A windshield that is attached to a vehicle, the windshield comprising:
- an upper panel;
- a lower panel;
- and
- a hinge coupling the upper panel and the lower panel to each other such that the upper panel and the lower panel are allowed to be folded or unfolded, wherein in a state where the upper panel and the lower panel are unfolded, the hinge is positioned such that a front side of the hinge is tilted toward the lower panel relative to a reference plane, the reference plane being parallel to a width direction of the lower panel and perpendicular to the lower panel.
