BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an awning apparatus 1 of the present invention has an awning member 2 fixed by awning molds 3, and both ends of the awning mold 3 are shaded. It is held by a U-shaped rail 7 fixed to the rack box 1-1. The small electric motor 5 is fixed to the upper surface of the shade device box 1-1. The rotation of the pinion 5-1 (gear) of the small electric motor 5 causes the rack 4-1 (spur gear) of the main shaft 4 to move horizontally, so that the awning material 2 is moved in and out of the awning device box 1-1. You can The pinion 5-1 of the small electric motor 5
Since the rotation speed of the (gear) is related to the withdrawal speed of the shade 2, the device can control the rotation speed of the pinion 5-1 (gear) or a combination of gears. The main shaft 4 and the awning form 3 are integrated. The material of the awning material 2 has a high heat insulating effect, and it is structurally preferable that it is thin and durable. The awning form cover 6 can be replaced by removing the awning form cover 6 when the awning form 2 is replaced. It should be noted that the awning form frame lid 6 is fixed by the awning form frame lid retainer 3-1. 1 is shown horizontally in the cross-sectional view of the awning device 1, but the ceiling 8 and the roof 9 are curved structures in FIGS. 2 (4) and (5). I am trying.

FIG. 2 (1) is a plan view of the automobile body 12 with the awning device 1 attached. The awning member 2 on the front side is in a state of being partially housed in the awning device box 1-1 with a part of the roof 9 removed. The rear awning material 2 is used as an awning inside the rear window 11. As a result, the sunshine from the rear window 11 side is considerably softened. The awning device 1 is incorporated in a awning device box 1-1, and the awning device box 1-1 is fixed to a frame 12-1 of a vehicle body 12 with bolts or the like. (6) is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 2 (1) as seen from the side, showing only the main shaft 4 and the shade member 2. Although there is an angle at the joint (change point) between the roof 9 and the front window 10 and the rear window 11, it can be solved by using elastic materials for the shade frame 3 and the main shaft 4. Further, in FIG. 1 (2), the opening 4-2 on the side surface of the main shaft 4 is provided to facilitate vertical bending. In addition, the upper portion of the awning form frame lid 6 at the tip of the awning member 2 is rounded. Further, the tip of the main shaft 4 is also rounded to eliminate the resistance that the front ends of the sunshade frame 6 and the main shaft 4 hit the insides of the front window 10 and the rear window 11. Figure 2
By attaching the projection 4-3 to the upper surface of the main shaft 4 in (4), the friction between the shade frame box 1-1, the front window 10 and the rear window 11 is eliminated.

FIG. 3 is a plan view of the vehicle body 12, in which the awning device 1 is attached to the front window and rear window sides. (1) is a state in which the roof 9 is completely removed. A state in which the awning material 2 is stored in the awning device box 1-1. (2) Also, with all roof 9 removed, front window 10 and rear window 11 side 2
Is used as an awning. This is the use of awning 2 during normal parking. (3) shows a state in which the roof 9 is partially removed and the awning material 2 on the front window side is stored. A state in which the shade 2 is used on the rear window 11 side. Used when driving for a long time or when strong sunlight hits the back seats. (4) is a state in which the awning material 2 on the front window 10 side is used as a sun visor. When used as a sun visor, it can be used as a sun visor by using a dedicated switch on the driver's seat. From a safety point of view, the device automatically stops at the upper part of the front window 10. In addition, the state where the shade 2 is used on the rear window 11 side.

When the awning material 2 is moved from the awning form box 1-1 to the front window 10 side and the rear window 11 side.
Or the awning material 2 when stored in the awning form box 1-1
A device capable of automatically stopping (a stop operation is a device for detecting the movement of the awning form 3 or the main shaft 4 by a sensor or the like and automatically stopping). For example, when the engine key after driving is turned off,
The awning 2 comes out to the window side and stops automatically.
On the contrary, when the engine key is turned on, the sunshade form box 1-1
It is stored in and stops automatically. Front window 1
The awning device 1 on the 0 side and the awning device 1 on the rear window 11 side have the same structure. However, the awning device 1 on the side of the rear window 11 has a size that is the same in width but a small length. This depends on the car model. In addition, from the viewpoint of safety, it is possible to manually operate and stop the awning device 1 from the driver's seat.

Conventionally, the interior mirror and the interior light have been attached to the vehicle body, but since the shade form box 1-1 is located between the ceiling 8 and the roof 9, it cannot be attached. Therefore, the room mirror and the room light are attached to the bottom surface of the awning form box 1-1 through the ceiling 8. Therefore, the bottom surface of the awning form box 1-1 requires strength and reinforcement.

Although the frame (framework) of the automobile body 12 is usually incorporated between the ceiling 8 and the roof 9, the awning form box 1-1 is processed according to the frame (framework). The overlapping portion of the form box 1-1 and the frame (framework) makes the structure of the awning form box 1-1 slope (oblique). As a result, the structure does not interfere with the operation of the main shaft 4, the awning form 3, and the fixing of the U-shaped rail 7. The frame is not shown in the drawing.

The vehicle model to which the awning device 1 is attached is a sedan,
The saloon car type can install the awning device 1 on the front window 10 side and the awning device 1 on the rear window 11 side, but the car model of the rear wind window of the wagon and RV type is close to the front window 10 side. Only the sunshade device 1 is attached. On the other hand, the car model with the sunroof above the driver's seat is the opposite, but only one awning device on the rear window 11 side will be installed. In the vehicle model in which the awning device 1 is structurally only one device can be attached, the awning form 3 and the main shaft 4 have an upper and lower structure.
A structure in which the main shaft 4 is connected in the horizontal direction after the awning form 3 is also possible.

[0015]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.

By installing the awning device 1, the awning material 2 is manually hand-worn with the front window 10,
It was attached to and removed from the rear window 11, but this saves the trouble. There is no need for a space for the sunshade 2 to be placed. It can also be used as a sun visor, so you can avoid glare from the sunlight and lights from oncoming vehicles. The awning device 1 has the convenience of using the awning member 2 only by turning on and off the engine key or the like rather than the conventional folding type awning member. The handlebars worked well when it was very hot in summer and difficult to grip, but it can be removed from the heat by installing the awning device 1.
