Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate hitched feeling and reduce in size of a hole for inserting a hook when a collar is fitted in the hook on a vehicle side and rotated. SOLUTION: Generally half collars 10A and 10B which have a cross section in a L shape or dog leg shape and are formed by integral molding with a hard synthetic resin material such as PP are slightly opened with a hinge part 11 usually. When an exposed part of a wire 4 is fitted in a mounting groove 16 of one side of holding ribs 13A or 13B, and the both collars 10A and 10B are closed around the hinge part 11, the end parts of surfaces 9 covering core material 8 are pinched by pinching ribs 12A and 12B, a locking pawl 15 is fitted in a locking groove 14 and the both collars 10A and 10B are fixed, and the wire 4 which is fitted in the mounting groove 16 is surrounded by the holding ribs 13A and 13B. Furthermore, in this state where the both collars 10A and 10B are closed and matched, the collar for fitting in the hook on the vehicle side is formed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a visor body in which one end is rotatably supported by a vehicle body, a collar is attached to a wire exposed portion at the other end, and a collar is engaged with a hook on the vehicle body. It is about supported sun visors.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional sun visor of this type will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, a collar 30 is composed of two parts 30A and 30B.
The two parts 30A and 30B are attached by ultrasonic welding.

[0003]

However, because of this, the surfaces of the two parts 30A and 30B do not fit neatly, causing a deviation, so that the sun visor 32 is fitted to the hook 33 on the vehicle body side and rotated. Sometimes there is a sense of snagging.

Further, since it is difficult to machine the hole 34 into which the hook 33 of the sun visor 32 enters, there is a disadvantage that the hole 34 cannot be made small and light leaks therefrom.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above drawbacks, an object of the present invention is to reduce the size of a hole into which the hook can be inserted without causing a feeling of snagging when being rotated by being fitted to a hook on the vehicle body.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems For this reason, the first invention provides
One end of the visor body is rotatably supported by the vehicle body, and a collar is attached to a wire exposed portion at the other end,
In a sun visor supported by being engaged with a hook on the vehicle body side, a half-collar body having a generally L-shaped or U-shaped cross-section and being opened is integrated via a hinge portion. In the periphery of both collar bodies, when the both collar bodies are closed, sandwiching ribs for sandwiching the visor skin ends coated with the core material are provided upright, and inside the sandwiching ribs. A holding body having an attachment groove formed therein for fitting the wire is erected, one of the holding bodies is formed with a locking groove, and the other of the holding bodies is closed when the collars are closed. A locking claw for locking the locking groove is formed, and a rib parallel to the hinge portion is formed at a position slightly closer to the locking groove or the locking claw from the mounting groove of the holding body; And a mounting hole is formed between them.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that the collar body is formed from a hard synthetic resin material by integral molding.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, a sun visor 1 mounted on a vehicle is rotatably supported on a base 2 fixed to the vehicle via a stay 3 rotatably inserted into an upper end of a visor body 7. A collar 5 described later is attached to the exposed portion of the wire 4 on the other end side, and is detachably engaged with a hook (not shown) on the vehicle body side to be supported.

The visor main body 7 having a predetermined light-shielding area is composed of a core material 8 formed of a hard synthetic resin material and a skin 9 covering the core material 8 and formed of a soft synthetic resin material. The part to which the collar 5 is attached is cut off, and the other part of the skin 9 is welded and joined, except for the skin 9 of the cut part.

Hereinafter, the collar 5 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. This collar 5 is not a conventional two-part structure,
The cross section is generally L-shaped or U-shaped, and is formed by integrally molding a hard synthetic resin material such as PP (polypropylene). That is, the collar bodies 10A and 10B that are divided in half are integrated via the hinge portion 11, and the two collar bodies 1 are formed.
0A and 10B are usually slightly open.

At the peripheral edges of the collar bodies 10A and 10B, holding ribs 12A and 12B for holding the ends of the skin 9 covering the core material 8 are provided upright, and the holding ribs 12A and 12B are provided. The holding ribs 13A and 13B having a U-shape in plan view are erected inward. A locking groove 14 is formed in one holding rib 13A, and a locking claw 15 is formed outside the other holding rib 13B. Also, the two holding ribs 1
3A and 13B have mounting grooves 16 cut out in a semicircular cross section.
Is formed.

Further, the U-shaped holding ribs 13A, 13A,
A rib 17 parallel to the hinge portion 11 is located at a position slightly shifted from the mounting groove 16 of FIG.
A and 17B are formed, and the space between the rib 17A or 17B and the holding rib 13A or 13B is punched, and mounting holes 18A and 18B are formed.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the exposed portion of the wire 4 is fitted into the mounting groove 16 of one of the holding ribs 13A or 13B, and the two collar bodies 1 are supported with the hinge 11 as a fulcrum.
When 0A and 10B are closed, the holding ribs 12A and 12B hold the end (not ultrasonically welded) of the skin 9 covering the core material 8, and the locking claw 15 is fitted into the locking groove 14. The two collar bodies 10A and 10B are fixed and the mounting groove 16
The wire 4 fitted in the space is surrounded by the holding ribs 13A and 13B.

When both the collar bodies 10A and 10B are closed and joined, a collar 5 is formed to be fitted to a hook (not shown) on the vehicle body side. in this case,
Since the collar 5 is formed by integral molding, holes (18A, 18B) for hooks can be reduced.

Furthermore, since the sandwiching ribs 12A and 12B sandwich the end of the skin 9 covering the core 8, the sandwiched portion does not need to be ultrasonically welded.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, various alternatives, modifications or variations are possible for those skilled in the art based on the above description, and the present invention is not limited to the above various embodiments without departing from the spirit thereof. It is intended to cover alternatives, modifications or variations.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, there is no feeling of snagging, and the hole into which the hook enters can be reduced when it is rotated by being fitted to the hook on the vehicle body side.
