Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an auxiliary sun visor which is used as an auxiliary to a sun visor provided for a driving vehicle of a vehicle to soften dazzling light.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In vehicles such as passenger cars, sunshades for protecting the driver from strong light such as sunlight and driving safely
That is, a sun visor is provided. The driver uses this sun visor as appropriate to prevent sunlight from coming directly into his eyes.

Since the sun visor has a role of shielding sunlight and the like, the field of view is naturally obstructed at the portion where the sun visor is arranged. In other words, the sun visor is set to the minimum required size from this point of view so that the visibility from the driver's seat is not extremely deteriorated. Since the sunlight is inserted with a certain irradiation angle, by placing the sun visor above the windshield of the vehicle, the sun visor can block the sunlight during most of the time without hindering the visibility. It is possible.

However, in the early morning or in the evening, the sunlight is radiated almost horizontally without an irradiation angle, and therefore the sun visor cannot prevent the glare when the vehicle is traveling toward the sunlight. In other words, the sun visor is naturally constructed so as not to obstruct the field of view in front of the vehicle that the driver gazes while driving, but when sunlight is radiated from the front of the vehicle in this way, the sun visor is This is because it is impossible to block light with. For this reason, for example, it is a matter of experience that we do not lose a hand of the steering wheel while driving and the sun is blocked by the released hand.

[0005]

In order to solve such a problem, it has been proposed to attach an auxiliary sun visor to the sun visor, but these auxiliary sun visors interfere with driving in a normal case. However, it is not widely used in reality because of problems such as processing of the sun visor and complexity and cost increase.

The present invention has been made paying attention to such a point, and does not disturb the driving in a normal case.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an auxiliary sun visor that can be made to project laterally and vertically from a sun visor by a desired length and can be formed at low cost.

[0007]

The invention according to claim 1 of the present invention for achieving the above object is an auxiliary sun visor which is detachably attached to a sun visor provided in a vehicle. A light-shielding plate formed of a transparent or semi-transparent material having a property, a long hole formed in the light-shielding plate in the lateral direction, and a band for holding the light-shielding plate inserted in the long hole in a sun visor. The light-shielding plate is configured to be movable in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction by a predetermined distance.

It is preferable that both ends of the band can be attached and detached by Velcro fasteners (claim 2).

[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a conventional sun visor 1 for a vehicle, which is made of an opaque material.

FIG. 2 shows one embodiment of the auxiliary sun visor of the present invention. The light shielding plate 2 is formed of a transparent or semi-transparent material having a light shielding property, and a little above the center of the light shielding plate 2. An elongated hole 3 elongated in the direction is formed. The light shielding plate 2 has the same shape as the sun visor 1 and is formed smaller than the sun visor 1.

Although the light-shielding plate 2 is formed of a plate-like smoke clear material in the above-mentioned embodiment, it is essentially a transparent or semi-light-shielding material such as a material that is colored and has a certain transparency, such as sunglasses. Any transparent material may be used.

An elongated band-shaped band 4 is inserted into the long hole 3 so that the light-shielding plate 2 is fastened to the sun visor 1 by the band 4. The connecting means at both ends of the band 4 is not particularly limited as long as it can be detachably fastened, but the Velcro fastener (velcro tape (registered trademark)) 5,
It is preferable to use 5 '. Further, the band 4 may have a ring-shaped rubber inserted into the long hole.

FIG. 3 shows a state in which the light shielding plate 2 is held on the sun visor 1 by the band 4, and the light shielding plate 2 is shown in FIG.
Does not project from the sun visor 1 when it is not used, so that it does not hinder driving.

FIG. 4 shows a state in which the light shielding plate 2 is used by shifting it to the right and pushing it downward.
It suffices to adjust the shifting position to the right and downward depending on the irradiation state of sunlight.

FIG. 5 shows a state in which the light shielding plate 2 is displaced to the left and pushed down, and the displacement position can be adjusted in the same manner.

FIG. 6 shows a state in which the shading plate 2 is pushed down from the center as it is, and the pushing position is as follows.
It can be adjusted similarly.

As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, when the light shielding plate of the present invention is used, it is moved vertically and horizontally for a desired distance to prevent glare.

According to the present invention, the light shielding plate 2 is formed with a long hole which is long in the lateral direction, and the band 4 is inserted through the long hole, and the band 4 is inserted.
Since it is fastened to the sun visor 1, the light shielding plate 2 can freely move up and down, right and left, and when it is not used, it does not obstruct the view at all. still,
When using a rubber ring-shaped band, the band may be stretched and fitted to the sun visor.

[0020]

As described above, the auxiliary sun visor of the present invention can be removably attached to the sun visor and has an extremely simple structure, which can reduce the dazzling light which cannot be prevented by the ordinary sun visor. It is possible to project from the sun visor up and down, right and left by a predetermined length, and it is possible to form it at low cost, which is a great effect not seen at all in the conventional auxiliary sun visor of this kind.
