Abstract:
Achieving a high fogging-removal performance with a defroster duct having a small width in the vehicle width direction. A vehicular defroster duct structure includes a defroster duct unit which includes a left defroster duct and a right defroster duct. The left defrost duct is curved leftward and the right defroster duct is curved rightward from the central line X in the vehicle width direction. At least one of the left and right defroster ducts includes a first guide surface and a second guide surface on an inner wall surface thereof close to the central line X. The first guide surface guides air-conditioning air toward a lower corner are of the windshield. The second guide surface guides the air-conditioning air toward a center upper part of the windshield.

Claim (Index 1):
A vehicular defroster duct structure comprising:\n an air-conditioning unit configured to generate air-conditioning air; a defroster air outlet; and a defroster duct unit connected with the air-conditioning unit and configured to guide the air-conditioning air from the air-conditioning unit to the defroster air outlet; wherein the defroster duct unit comprises:\n a left defroster duct curved leftward of a windshield from a central line of a vehicle in a vehicle width direction, and \n a right defroster duct curved rightward of the windshield from the central line of the vehicle in the vehicle width direction, \n at least one of the left defroster duct and the right defroster duct is formed with a first guide surface and a second guide surface on an inner wall surface thereof close to the central line, the second guide surface is shifted from the first guide surface in a vehicle longitudinal direction, and the first guide surface is configured to guide the air-conditioning air toward a lower corner area of the windshield along a curved shape of the windshield and the second guide surface is configured to guide the air-conditioning air toward a center upper part of the windshield.
