DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In 1 designated 1 the cab of a vehicle, a truck cab, in which a first embodiment of a sunshade device 2 at the front edge 4 of the roof area 3 of the vehicle is mounted.

In The present description and the appended claims are "forward" and "forward", respectively, as in the normal Driving direction of the vehicle, "backwards" or "backwards" as in the "forward" or "forward" opposite direction, "up" and "up" as in the direction starting from the pad and "down" or "down" as opposed to "up" and "up" To understand direction.

The sunshade device has a screen portion extending in the width direction of the vehicle 5 with a front side 6 and a corresponding back 7 and preferably an end part 8th at the respective end 9 the umbrella part, wherein the end portions are angled and extend in the direction away from the front part. The sunshade device has two brackets 10 on, preferably at the front edge 4 and preferably at a substantial distance from the respective longitudinal side 11 of the roof area 3 are arranged.

The brackets 10 fit to two arranged on the screen part fasteners 12 , where joint organs 13 are present, the one lying in front of the leading edge pivot axis 14 form the screen part, the screen part between an upwardly folded position, 2 in which, based on the driving condition of the vehicle, the front side 6 essentially forward and the back 7 are directed substantially rearwardly, and a folded down position can be folded, in which the back of the screen member is directed substantially upwards.

According to the illustrated embodiment, the end portions extend 8th in the folded up position to the rear and in the folded down position to the top.

preferred embodiments the sun protection device are intended for trucks.

In preferred embodiments, the fasteners 12 when attached screen part substantially at the back of the screen part at a distance from the respective end part and thus at a considerable distance from the respective longitudinal side 11 of the roof area 3 arranged, ie in a similar manner as the brackets 10 , where, seen in the folded up position acc. 2 , the pivot axis 14 following the lower edge area 15 is formed.

Likewise, according to the in 1 to 3 illustrated embodiment, each holder 10 a spaced at a distance from the front edge of the roof area and in front of this mounting area 16 on, in which the arrangement of a fastener 12 is provided. According to such an embodiment, the attachment region has an upwardly projecting pin part 17 on, for insertion into a recess 18 a fastening element is arranged.

There are also conceivable embodiments in which the joint organs 13 from the brackets 10 with attachment areas 16 (not shown) instead of the fasteners 12 to form the front of said leading edge pivot axis 14 are included to pivot the screen member between an upwardly and a downwardly folded position, as described above. However, it is preferred that the brackets 10 are simple on the vehicle and the joint organs, etc. are carried by the screen part in a module configuration.

It is also preferred that the fasteners and brackets are arranged so that the screen member is arranged such that the fasteners are mounted in the folded down position on the brackets, ie as in 3 however, with the screen portion in the folded down position instead, as in 3 shown in folded up position.

According to a further preferred embodiment, shown as an exemplary embodiment in FIG 4a -c, assign each bracket 10 a hook element 10 ' with a recess open at the top 10 '' and each fastener 12 one for insertion into a recess 10 '' provided fastening pin 12 ' on, wherein the recess is designed as a narrowing insertion opening 10 '' and the mounting pin corresponding flats 12 '' whereby the fixing pin after insertion through the constriction, 4a , is arranged transversely to its axial direction and a certain rotation, in the recess, 4c to be held and secured, and according to preferred embodiments, the recesses or mounting pins have a conical configuration which provides a storage for the mounting pins and limits the displaceability of the mounting pins in the axial direction, as shown schematically in FIG 4b and c is shown. The recesses and mounting pins in this case provide joint organs for the formation of the pivot axis 14 According to preferred embodiments, the mounting pins are attached to the screen member so that it is in a downwardly folded position when inserting the mounting pins in the recesses and by securing the mounting pins in the recesses by rotation in an upwardly folded position.

It is also preferred that the mounting pins on a common mounting part 12 ''' are arranged at the screen part.

It is also conceivable a variant of this embodiment, in which each holder 10 a mounting pin 12 ' and each fastener 12 a recess 10 ' wherein the function is the corresponding one and wherein there is a substantially conical configuration. In this case, each recess is open at the bottom and arranged on the screen part, that the mounting pins are provided for insertion into the recesses when the screen member is in its folded down position, and that securing the mounting pins by pivoting the screen part in whose folded up position takes place.

For versions according to 4 Joint organs are thus formed by a combination of bracket and fastener.

It is further preferred that illumination devices are provided on the screen part and optionally on the end parts 19 , having light sources 20 , such as lights 20 are arranged, wherein the lighting devices are arranged so that an exchange of the light sources from the back of the screen part or from the back 8th' of the respective end part takes place.

The Function of the sun protection device according to the invention is expected in material and sufficient extent from the above.

brackets are thus arranged at the front edge of the roof area, wherein the shielding part is arranged at a certain distance from the front edge becomes. Using the fasteners on the back of the screen part is a pivot axis created outside the leading edge and following the lower part of the screen part lies, whereby the screen part between the described positions can be worked.

hereby the advantages mentioned in the introduction are achieved. Consequently can the screen part folded down and light sources easy if needed be replaced, especially in cases when the cab of the vehicle around joints in the front lower edge area of the cab can be tilted and the shield parts this comfortable from the ground or floor accessible become. A larger number from light sources, u a. in the dark the height and the lateral extent Marking the vehicle is common, which is why the need for replacement of light sources occurs relatively frequently. Furthermore, the windshield can be replaced without the screen part must be removed as this is in front of the upper edge area the windshield and partly outside of it. In addition, simplified the assembly on the vehicle as a whole, since the fasteners simply attached to the brackets or, if so desired, reversed can be.

above the invention is in accordance with embodiments and preferred embodiments been described.

Of course they are further embodiments as well like minor ones change and supplements conceivable without departing from the idea of the invention.

Consequently the invention is essentially in connection with a sunshade device for trucks been described. However, it is conceivable, the invention also in other types of vehicles, such as buses and coaches, Passenger cars, so-called SUV vehicles etc.

The The invention is therefore not as to the specified embodiments to be considered limited, but may be in the indicated by the appended claims Frame can be varied.
