JP2000264061A - Sun screen device a having forward formed ceiling of automobile - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the excellent glare-proof effect over the whole width of a windshield glass by pulling down a screen from a device mounted on a back side of a ceiling of an automobile along a diagonal side of both sides of the windshield glass to cover an upper portion of the windshield glass. SOLUTION: A forward portion forming ceiling 1 is arranged on a back side of a ceiling of an automobile along the whole length of an upper edge of a windshield glass, and a plurality of screens 16 divided in the width direction of the windshield glass are incorporated in a retractable manner along guide rails 7... integrally formed with the forming ceiling 1. A gateway of the guide rail 7 is divergently formed to easily return the screen 16. In order to freely take in/take out or stop the screen 16, a bottom of the guide rail 7 close to a handle provided on a tip portion is uneven so that the guide rail can be moved by lightly pressing a projection by a spring. In addition, the angle of the screen is adjustable by adjusting the direction of a gap between upper and lower edges of the gateway.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to replace a conventional sun visor as an anti-glare device based on a novel idea. At the same time, the screen of a car navigation device (hereinafter referred to as "car navigation screen") is used by a driver. It is indispensable as a base when mounted slightly in front of the line of sight, and great demand is expected in the future when the superiority as an anti-glare device and the installation of a car navigation screen at this position become mainstream.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional sun visor has a large gap and significantly impairs the anti-glare effect. If it is covered deeply, there is a feeling of obstruction. Did not. Nevertheless, the fact that they have taken their eyes on these defects and kept them almost intact now is due to their simple, robust and easy-to-use functions. And the illusion that there was no substitute for this at any time.

[0003]

(1) To enhance the anti-glare effect, a screen is required to shield the upper portion of a windshield without a corner. 2 Make sure that the screen can be moved in and out smoothly. 3. Be able to move the screen from front to side. 4. When turning the dangling screen to the side with the hinge, make the screen easily slip out from the back of the inner mirror. 5. When driving with the windows open, there must be no wind blowing at the front entrance. 6. Make sure that the wind does not flutter at the front. 7. The screen must provide brightness and room with anti-glare function.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems 1 A method is adopted in which a screen is pulled down from a device attached to the ceiling and along the oblique sides of both sides of a windshield so as to be shielded without corners. (2) When the screen is moved in and out, the projections and the like attached to the upper edge of the screen are moved together by a plurality of guide rails while the front end of the screen is always lightly sandwiched between the entrance and exit, thereby producing a smooth movement without blurring. 3. The method of turning the screen back to the side by the hinge at the upper outer corner of the screen and changing the screen direction is adopted. 4. By adopting the method of joining the center part of the screen with a hinge, when the handle is pulled, it breaks and can be easily pulled out from the back of the inner mirror. 5. As a result of the experiment, it was found that the front doorway was a place where there was no fear of blowing wind. 6 The projection of the screen is held down by the presser of the guide rail,
The screen is also always sandwiched between the upper and lower edges of the doorway. 7 The film used for the screen should have good daylight and high anti-glare properties, and the screen should be as close as possible to the windshield.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In order to facilitate the return of the screen to the guide rail, the entrance of the guide rail is widened, and the height of the triangle at the upper edge of the screen is made slightly higher, and the height of the center is gradually lowered. Incline.

When the left and right screens overlap each other at the center of the frame, a slight difference in height is provided between the left and right screens so as not to obstruct the course of each other. .

The bottom of the guide rail near the handle is made uneven so that the screen can be freely stopped in and out, and the projection is lightly pressed by a spring to move the guide rail.

When adjusting the angle of the screen covering the glass surface, the direction of the gap created by the lower edge and the upper edge of the entrance is adjusted.

In order to replace the screen, a method is adopted in which the screen is hooked on a hinge mandrel so that the screen can be attached and detached with the hinge at the upper edge corner.

[0010] A device is provided so that the end of the screen shifted to the side is fixed to the vehicle body.

A hinge mandrel used at the center of the screen is a thin, strong, and highly elastic wire, so that the entire screen can easily follow a curved surface and can be moved smoothly.

[0012]

As described above, the present invention realizes complete anti-glare by closing the gap that has prevented the anti-glare, and at the same time, makes use of the characteristics of the screen to make the vehicle interior bright and comfortable without a feeling of obstruction. I could keep it, and it was convenient to move to the side. Then, the groundwork for putting the ideal position of the car navigation screen to practical use was able to be prepared.
