  According to the present invention, it can be manufactured at a low cost with a very simple configuration, and the direction of the fixture can be changed relatively freely according to the direction of sunlight.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a side view of a sunglasses fixture according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the fixture of FIG. 1, and FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, the sunglasses attachment tool 1 of this embodiment is a sun visor 30 that can effectively relieve external light such as sunlight and that does not obstruct the driver's view. The clip 20 for detachably attaching to the main component is used as the main component.

  As the sunglasses 10, it is preferable to use one formed of a polarizing plate. Further, the sunglasses 10 are not limited to a rectangular shape, and can be formed in various shapes, for example, an elliptical shape or a spectacle shape, depending on the design and application. Curved sunglasses 10 may also be used. The sunglasses 10 is attached to the clip 20 via an attachment member 26 so as to be rotatable.

  The clip 20 includes a first member 21 extending to a position exceeding at least the center of the sun visor 30, and a second member that is disposed to face the first member 21 and has substantially the same length as the first member 21. The member 22, the first member 21, and the second member 22 are connected on the base side (the right end side in FIG. 1), and the third member 23 is formed in a substantially U shape when the entire clip 20 is viewed from the side. And have.

The first member 21, the second member 22, and the third member 23 are made of a resin material such as polycarbonate having elasticity (spring property), stainless steel, titanium, or the like so that the clip 20 can sandwich the sun visor 30. It is preferable to form with a metal material.
The length l of the first member 21 is 1> L / 2 when the depth dimension of the sun visor 30 is L, but is preferably around 1 = 2/3 · L. The third member 23 abuts on one end edge 31 of the sun visor 30 and functions as a positioning member for positioning the fixing position of the clip 20 on the sun visor 30.

  Between the tip of the second member 22 (left end in FIG. 1) and the base, a holding member 24 for rotatably mounting the sunglasses 10 is formed in the vicinity of the base. The attachment member 26 for attaching the sunglasses 10 is attached to the clip 20 so as to be rotatable by a shaft 25 supported by the holding member 24. The shaft 25 can be positioned at an arbitrary rotational angle position by friction with the holding member 24 or by a known ratchet mechanism.

  That is, as shown in the drawing, the storage position (i) in which the sunglasses 10 are placed along the surface of the sun visor 10, and an arbitrary use position (for example, a symbol (1)) in which the sun visor 10 protrudes toward the driver D from the storage position (i). (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) (positions shown) can be freely positioned. In addition, in the fixture 1 of this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the sunglasses 10 can be rotated within a range of about 180 degrees where the sun visor 30 and the sunglasses 10 do not interfere with each other.

  In addition, since the attachment member 26 always positions the edge of the attachment member 26 side of the sunglasses 10 between the tip and the base of the second member 22, how is the positional relationship between the sun visor 30 and the sunglasses 10? There is no gap between the sun visor 30 and the sunglasses 10 to change. For example, even if the sunglasses 10 is rotated to the position of (vi) shown in FIG. 1 with the sun visor 30 lowered vertically, the end portions of the sunglasses 10 and the sun visor 30 are overlapped with each other, so that there is no gap. . Therefore, there is no inconvenience that external light that has passed through the gap between the sun visor 30 and the sunglasses 10 enters the eyes of the driver and hinders driving.

  The sandwiching of the sun visor 30 by the first member 21 and the second member 22 may be performed on the entire surface, but may be sandwiched at a preset clamping point P. In FIG. 1, a sandwiching point at which the first member 21 abuts one surface of the sun visor 30 and sandwiches the sun visor 30 together with the second member 22 is denoted by reference numeral P <b> 1, and sandwiching points at the second member 22 are denoted by P <b> 2 and P <b> 3.

  The clamping point P1 of the first member 21 is located on the front end side of the first member 21, and the clamping points P1 and P2 of the second member 22 are respectively connected to the front end side of the second member 22. It is located in the provided ridges 22a and 22b. And as shown in figure, in the fixture 1 of this embodiment, the clamping point P1 in the first member 21 is located between the clamping points P2, 3 of the second member 22, and in a normal state, The sun visor 30 is sandwiched at these three locations.

Here, when the clip 20 is rotated to the full with respect to the sun visor 30, the pinching point P2 (projection 22b) is eventually detached from the edge of the sun visor 30, and is pinched substantially by the pinching point P3 and the pinching point P1. It becomes a state. Even in this case, since the elastic force of the clip 30 acts on these two points, the clip 20 is stably fixed without falling off the sun visor 30.
In the present invention, by moving or changing the clamping point, the sunglasses 10 can be freely rotated with respect to the sun visor 30, and the fixed state can be stably held at the position, and There is an advantage that the structure of the fixture 1 can be simplified and the price can be reduced.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, a flange 27 is formed at the tip of the second member 22 to widen the tip of the second member 22. The front end of the first member 21 is formed wide in advance, and the front end of the second member 22 is approximately the same width as the front end of the first member 21 by the flange 27. Then, by forming the protrusion 22a in the portion where the flange portion 27 is formed and positioning the clamping point P2, the area when the sun visor 30 is clamped can be secured, and the fixture 1 can be placed within a wider range. Thus, it can be rotated with respect to the sun visor 30.

  In addition, in a right-hand drive automobile that is a standard specification in Japan, when the fixture of this embodiment is used for a sun visor, the fixture 1 is rotated within a wide range to the right rather than to the left of the driver. It is preferable that Therefore, when widening the tip of the second member 22 using the flange 27 or the like, only one (lower in FIG. 2) may be widened in a wider range than the other (upper). Further, the collar portion 27 may be exchanged so that the second member 22 can be widened to a width according to the application.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the sunglasses fixture 1 having the above-described configuration, and is a plan view showing a use state. The figure shows the case of a right-hand drive vehicle.
When the sunlight S is inserted from the front of the driver D, the clip 20 is positioned so that the sunglasses 10 is parallel to the sun visor 30. Then, the sunglasses 10 is rotated from the storage position (position indicated by reference sign (i) in FIG. 1) to an appropriate use position (positions indicated by reference signs (ii) to (iv) in FIG. 2). Accordingly, the sunglasses 10 blocks the sunlight S, and the semi-transparent sunglasses 10 ensures a good view for the driver D.

For example, when the sunlight S changes its angular position with respect to the driver D and is inserted from the left front as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the clip 20 is rotated with respect to the sun visor 30, The position of the sunglasses 10 is directed in the direction in which the sunlight S is inserted.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 3C, when the sunlight S is inserted from the substantially right direction of the driver, the sunglasses 10 are used by the driver using the full range of rotation of the clip 20 with respect to the sun visor 30. It is positioned almost beside D.
Even if the clip 20 is rotated to such a position, the clip is stably fixed to the sun visor 30 by the clamping point P provided in the range of the first member 21 and the second member 22.
