However, when the sun visor body is rotated with respect to the vehicle, an external force is applied to a fixing portion (locking portion) that fixes the sun visor body and the bearing member. Therefore, it is preferable that the sun visor body and the bearing member are stably fixed. In view of this, it is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle sun visor that can stably fix a bearing member at a predetermined position of a sun visor body.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is characterized in that the present invention has a configuration as described in each of the above-mentioned claims. According to the first aspect of the present invention, the bearing member has the extension, and the extension extends until it reaches the storage recess. In addition, since the storage recess has a concave shape, the distance between the storage recess and the other side surface of the sun visor body facing the storage recess is reduced. Since the extending portions are extended at the narrowed intervals, the extending portions can be easily fixed to them. Moreover, because it is locked in a wider area than the conventional fixing method,
The extension can be stably fixed to the sun visor body.

The structure in which the extension is fixed may be such that the extension is sandwiched and fixed between the bottom surface of the storage recess and the other side, or may be fixed in the storage recess or the other side. The extension may be locked and fixed by the projection provided on the base, or between the extension and the storage recess, or between the extension and the other side via a locking member. The case where the extension portion is locked may be employed.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, a part of the storage recess has a recess toward the other side, and the extension is locked by the recess. In order to reduce the space between the recessed portion and the other side surface of the sun visor opposed to the recessed portion for storage, the extending portion arranged in this space is easily fixed to this space. Therefore, for example, the extension may be engaged when the tip of the depression contacts the surface of the extension, or the extension may be engaged when the end of the depression contacts the end of the extension. May be stopped. Since the extension is locked by the depression, the bearing member is stably fixed at a predetermined position of the sun visor body. In addition, not only one depression but also a plurality of depressions can be provided, and the depth and shape thereof can be appropriately formed.
Therefore, the concave portion can flexibly correspond to the shape of the extended portion, and the contact surface with the extended portion can be increased, and the locking direction between the extended portion and the concave portion can be considered. For example, a recess may be provided in the extension, and a recess may be formed to enter the recess, or a notch may be provided at an end of the extension, and the recess may be engaged with the notch. It is a form to form. As a result, the extension is stably fixed by the depression.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the depression of the sun visor body penetrates the through hole of the extension, and the extension is locked in the depression. When the hollow part penetrates the through hole,
The inner peripheral side surface of the through-hole and the outer peripheral side surface of the recess are locked, and they try to limit the movement over 360 degrees. Therefore, the extension portion can be fixed to the sun visor body with a simple structure, and can be fixed stably. Furthermore, since the depression is formed so as to be in contact with the other side, the tip of the depression is fixed by the other side. Therefore,
The depression is less likely to deform and break even when external force is applied,
The extension can be stably locked.

It is to be noted that the through hole and the recessed portion may be provided one each, but a plurality of through holes and recesses are preferably provided. By providing a plurality, these interfere with each other,
The extension is more stably locked to the sun visor body. For example, when a rotational force is applied to the sun visor body, the rotational force can be supported between two points or between a plurality of points. Accordingly, the force in the rotating direction can be easily supported, and the extension portion is stably fixed at a predetermined position of the sun visor body.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a sun visor for a vehicle having the above-mentioned functions and effects, and an accessory is a mirror device or a card holder. Therefore,
The mirror device or the card holder is housed in the housing recess.
