VEHICULAR HOOD STRUCTURE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicular hood structure blocking a clearance of a vehicle end coupling portion by an inexpensive and simple structure. SOLUTION: A tip end portion 9a having a recessed portion and a tip end portion 9b having a projecting portion of outer hoods 9A, 9B contact with each other. Magnetic force generated by an adsorbing portion 10 is acting between the tip end portion 9a and the tip end portion 9b. As a result, a clearance portion is hard to be formed between the tip end portion 9a and the tip end portion 9b, and even if the clearance portion is formed between both, the end portions 9a and 9b are immediately contacted again by the magnetic force. The separation of an air flow from the clearance between those is suppressed, therefore, and the generation of noise radiating around a railroad line is reduced. Even if vehicles 3A, 4A are displaced in a vertical direction and a lateral direction, the end portion 9a and the end portion 9b are linearly contacted at two places of an inside contact point Pinand an outside contact point Pout, so that friction force acts between those becomes small, and wear of the outer hoods 9A, 9B is decreased.
