JP2000052765A - Side visor for automobile - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control the vertical position of a side visor arbitrarily and easily by fitting a side visor to the upper edge part of a door sash to be extended to the outside of a door window in such a manner as to oscillate in the vertical direction, and oscillating the side visor by rotation of a cam. SOLUTION: A side visor 4 is fitted to the lower end 3a of an upper edge 3 of a door sash to be extended to the outside of a door window in such a manner as co oscillate in the vertical direction by a hinge. A cam 6 is brought into contact with the upper surface of a base part 4a of the side visor 4, a handle 7 is rotated on the interior side, and the cam 6 is rotated through a gear mechanism to oscillate the side visor 4 on a hinge 5 in the vertical direction. Thus, the vertical direction of the side visor 4 can be arbitrarily controlled regardless of the opening and closed state of the window glass 2 so as to be used conveniently as a sun shade or a rain drip.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rain visor and a sun visor provided on a door window of an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-136710 discloses a vehicle having a door window provided with a rain shield. This product is attached to the upper edge of the door sash at the lower edge of the door sash so that it can swing up and down.The upper surface of the base of the rain evasion is pushed down by a spring, and the outer edge of the rain evasion is positioned upward when the window glass is opened. When the window glass is closed, the base of the rain shield is pushed up by the window glass so that the outer edge of the rain shield is located below.

[0003]

In the above conventional structure,
Because the vertical swing of the rain avoidance is the opening and closing operation of the window glass, the moving amount of the wind glass and the vertical swing angle of the rain avoidance are synchronized, and the outer edge of the rain avoidance is raised when the window glass is closed. Or when the window glass is open, the outer edge of the rain avoidance cannot be positioned below. Therefore, when the window glass is closed in summer, etc., when the window glass is closed, it is not possible to place the rain shield above and prevent it from being shaded. However, there is an inconvenience that the position of the rain avoidance cannot be obtained because it is located above and the vertical position of the rain avoidance cannot be arbitrarily operated as required regardless of the opening and closing of the window glass.

An object of the present invention is to provide a side visor for an automobile in which the position in the vertical direction can be arbitrarily operated as required regardless of the opening and closing of the window glass.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is directed to a vehicle side visor which is attached to an upper edge and a lower edge of a door sash so as to extend outside a door window and to be vertically swingable. A cam is in contact with the upper surface of the base of the side visor, and the rotation of the cam causes the side visor to swing up and down.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, 1 is a door, 2
Is the window glass that can be raised and lowered, 3 is the upper edge of the door sash, 4
Is a side visor. The side visor 4 extends outside the door window and the lower end 3 of the upper edge 3 of the door sash.
a is swingably mounted in a vertical direction by a hinge 5.

According to the present invention, a base 4 of the side visor 4 is provided.
The cam 6 is brought into contact with the upper surface of a, and the side visor 4 is vertically swung by the rotation of the cam 6.

As shown in FIG. 3, the rotation mechanism of the cam 6 has a gear 10 fixedly mounted concentrically with the rotation center of the cam 6, and a cam shaft 8 having a worm gear 9 meshed with the gear 10. This is a structure in which the handle 7 is provided on the vehicle interior side.

Since the present invention has a structure as described above, the side visor 4 tends to rotate downward about the hinge 5 by the gravity of the side visor 4 itself.
A vertical swing angle can be arbitrarily obtained by the cam lift of the cam 6 abutting on the base 4a.

That is, when the cam top of the cam 6 is brought into contact with the base 4a of the side visor 4 by operating the handle 7 from the vehicle interior side, as shown in FIG. When the cam side of the cam 6 contacts the base 4a of the side visor 4, the side visor 4 moves downward regardless of the open / close state of the window glass 2 as shown in FIG. To position.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, the side visor can arbitrarily obtain a vertical swing angle regardless of the open / close state of the window glass by operating the steering wheel from the vehicle interior side, thereby preventing sunshade or rain. And has the advantage of eliminating the conventional inconvenience.
