Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an auxiliary sun visor used by being attached to an existing sun visor mounted on a vehicle.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The sun visor equipped in the vehicle is an opaque plate-like member, and the length in the vertical direction is about 15 cm so that the field of view is not greatly disturbed when deployed downward.
[0003]
For people with low stretch, even when the sun visor equipped with the vehicle is lowered, the length may not be sufficient to cover the sun inserted from a low position. In addition, since it is opaque, it completely blocks the field of view and may be difficult to use. Therefore, an auxiliary sun visor formed of a translucent plate that is attached to an existing sun visor installed in a vehicle is known. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, many of the conventional auxiliary sun visors are flexibly attached to the lower end of the sun visor so that they can be stored in the storage space of the existing sun visor, and are deployed downward about the lower end of the existing sun visor. Even if the auxiliary sun visor is deployed downward, it may not be lowered below the length of the installed sun visor, and may not be sufficiently shielded by a driver with a low eye line.
[0006]
Moreover, since the direction in which sunlight is inserted is not constant, it is impossible to configure the auxiliary sun visor so as to cover the entire front from the relationship with the storage space, and may not be practical.
[0007]
The present invention provides an auxiliary sun visor that can be installed in an existing sun visor mounted on a vehicle, stored in a storage location of the existing sun visor, and can be sufficiently lowered down, and installed in the incident direction of the light source. The purpose is to provide.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is configured as follows.
[0009]
The invention according to claim 1 is an auxiliary sun visor for a vehicle that is attached to an existing sun visor equipped in front of the ceiling of the vehicle, and a fixture that is detachably attached to a tip of the existing sun visor; An auxiliary sun visor for a vehicle is constituted by a semi-transparent plate member attached to the fixture so as to be rotatable around a vertical axis in parallel with the existing sun visor to which the fixture is attached.
[0010]
As a result, when the existing sun visor is expanded downward and the auxiliary sun visor is rotated, the auxiliary sun visor is suspended below the existing sun visor, so the auxiliary sun visor is longer than the vertical length of the existing sun visor. The sun visor can be deployed, and the visibility of the driver with low line of sight can be blocked by the auxiliary sun visor.
[0011]
The invention according to claim 2 is the auxiliary sun visor for vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the fixing device is attached to the upper part of the translucent plate material so as to be shifted from the center on either the left or right side. did. Thereby, when the auxiliary sun visor is stored in the storage space of the existing sun visor, the auxiliary sun visor can be stored in substantially the same storage space.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of an auxiliary sun visor according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0013]
The state in the vehicle is shown in FIG. In other words, the existing sun visor 10 is installed on the side of the room mirror 12, and the auxiliary sun visor 2 is attached to the lower end of the sun visor 10 deployed downward.
[0014]
As shown in FIG. 1, the auxiliary sun visor 2 includes a plate member 4 and a fixture 6 attached above the plate member 4, and the fixture 6 is attached to the plate member 4 so as to be rotatable about an axis 8. .
[0015]
The plate member 4 is made of a transparent resin material such as acrylic or polycarbonate, and is colored translucently having an appropriate light-shielding property. It is almost the same as the length. Further, the plate member 4 is formed with an arc-shaped notch 11 of about ¼ circumference centering on the shaft 8.
[0016]
The fixture 6 is U-shaped as a whole and is made of a metal or resin having a spring force that is detachable at the lower end of the existing sun visor 10, and is attached to the left side of the upper portion of the plate member 4. . The fixture 6 is attached to the sun visor 10 and has a holding force that does not easily drop from the sun visor 10 even when the plate member 4 is suspended. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a pin 9 having a tip portion inserted into a notch 11 formed in the plate member 4 is attached to the fixture 6 in parallel with the shaft 8. The upper end portion of the notch 11 comes into contact with the pin 9 and holds the plate member 4 in a state where it is suspended substantially vertically.
[0017]
The existing sun visor 10 is a sun visor that is generally equipped with a vehicle made of an opaque plate material, and is usually attached to the ceiling portion 14. The sun visor 10 extends downward from a state of being stored along the ceiling portion 14. It can also be rotated to the side. A locking piece 7 is attached to the right side of the lower end of the sun visor 10 as shown in FIG. The locking piece 7 is fitted to the sun visor 10 by a spring force, and the auxiliary sun visor 2 is locked to the stepped portion as shown in FIG.
[0018]
Next, how to use the auxiliary sun visor 2 will be described.
[0019]
As shown in FIG. 2, the auxiliary sun visor 2 is fixed by inserting a fixture 6 at the tip of an existing sun visor 10 and rotating it around a shaft 8 as indicated by a two-dot chain line. 4 and housed between the sun visor 10 and the ceiling 14 as shown in FIG. Since the auxiliary sun visor 2 is smaller than the length of the sun visor 10 in both length and width, even if there is a portion protruding slightly forward, it is stored in the storage portion of the sun visor 10 as shown in FIG.
[0020]
When the sun is low and sunlight is incident on the eyes, the sun visor 10 is expanded downward and the auxiliary sun visor 2 is rotated around the axis 8 to assist the sun visor 10 at the lower end in parallel with the sun visor 10. The sun visor 2 is suspended. Then, since the auxiliary sun visor 2 is held vertically by the pin 9 and has a long length in the longitudinal direction, the auxiliary sun visor 2 is extended downward as shown in FIG. Is obtained.
[0021]
Further, when sunlight enters obliquely from the front, the mounting position of the fixture 6 is changed along the lower end of the sun visor 10, and the auxiliary sun visor 2 is matched with the incident direction to shield the light. Since the auxiliary sun visor 2 is translucent, a light source such as sunlight is prevented from directly entering the eyes and the light is transmitted so that the view is not obstructed.
[0022]
Then, when there is no need for light shielding, the sun visor 10 is pushed up to the ceiling portion 14 side. Then, the auxiliary sun visor 2 rotates around the shaft 8 and is stored as shown in FIG.
[0023]
Although the fixture 6 is U-shaped, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be a clip-like type in which the lower end of the sun visor 10 is sandwiched by a spring force. Further, the number of fixtures is not limited to one, and a plurality of fixtures may be provided, and the plate member 4 may be rotatably attached to the plurality of fixtures. Further, the shaft 8 has a certain amount of resistance so that the auxiliary sun visor 2 can be rotated and suspended by hand even if the plate 4 is set to rotate naturally when the sun visor 10 is deployed downward. It may be set. When a resistance force is applied to the rotation so that the auxiliary sun visor 2 can be fixed at an arbitrary angle, the pin 9 may not be provided.
[0024]
Further, when the locking piece 7 is attached to the lower side of the plate 4 and the auxiliary sun visor 2 is stored on the upper surface of the existing sun visor 10 as shown by a two-dot chain line, the locking piece 7 is fitted to the end of the sun visor 10. In other words, the storage state may be maintained.
[0025]
In the above example, the sun visor 10 on the driver's seat side has been described. However, the auxiliary sun visor of the present invention may be attached to the sun visor on the passenger seat side. In that case, it is better that the fixture 6 is attached to the right side of the plate 4. Further, the fixing tool 6 may be fixed to other portions of the sun visor 10 instead of the lower end of the sun visor 10.
[0026]
Furthermore, when it hangs down to the lower end of the sun visor 10, you may change the attachment position of the fixing tool 6 so that it may become vertical, or you may set the position of a gravity center.
[0027]
