Description

  The present invention relates to an automobile sun visor apparatus in which a sunroof is installed in a front part of a ceiling of a vehicle body.

  Conventionally, a sun visor that blocks glare from the front is installed near the ceiling in front of the driver's seat and passenger seat.

  This sun visor is configured to be housed along a roof trim that covers the ceiling surface so as not to obstruct the front view when not in use.

In addition, conventional automobiles are provided with an opening called a sunroof near the center of the ceiling of the vehicle body in order to enhance the comfort of the passenger compartment by collecting more external light into the passenger compartment and improving the view of the view. Is known (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2)
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-192693 (paragraphs 0011 to 0018) JP 2001-130339 A (paragraphs 0020 to 0057).

  As shown in FIG. 9, a sunroof glass is provided in a sunroof (lighting window) a opened in a ceiling portion, and a sunshade trim b is slidable inside the sunroof glass as shown in FIG. At the same time, the indoor lamp c is installed near the front end in the sliding direction of the sunshade trim b, and the sun visor d is stored in a state of being exposed between the front end of the roof trim e and the sunroof a. Yes.

  In addition, what is described in Patent Document 2 is that a specific part of a lighting device assembled on the lower side of the body ceiling of the vehicle body is fitted into the opening so as to face the lower side of the molded ceiling, and the opening of the molded ceiling The sun visor is configured to fit the recessed portion formed around the specific portion of the lighting device so as to hide the edge of the opening. It is designed to be stored in between.

  However, in the sunroof described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, although an opening is provided in the vicinity of the center of the indoor ceiling, there is a problem that the feeling of opening between the front end of the roof trim e and the sunroof a is lacking.

  Recently, in order to improve such a problem, as shown in FIG. 10, a second sunroof h is provided separately from the sunroof a at the front end of the roof trim e to further improve the feeling of opening in the vehicle interior. Is considered.

  According to this, when the sunroof h is installed at the front end of the roof trim e, an opening f is provided in the front part of the ceiling of the vehicle body, and a part of the windshield g or a separate auxiliary glass is extended to the opening f. By doing so, since the windshield g and the sunroof h are integrated with the configuration covering the opening f, there is an effect that the feeling of opening of the front part of the vehicle interior is particularly improved.
