Description

The present invention allows an existing sun visor installed in an automobile to be easily attached / detached with a simple hook member, and the amount of protrusion (protrusion allowance) with respect to a position lower than the sun visor in use is set to the hook. The present invention relates to an auxiliary visor for an automobile sun visor that can be changed using a member and an eccentric locking hole.

A general automobile sun visor is designed with a certain size setting, so it is not sufficient to cover all the physiques of car users. For small children, small adults, low-sitting people, or those sitting in the back seat, the sun visor in front of the eyes at dusk etc. Even if it is used, it is not possible to block the low sunlight position, such as the setting sun or the morning sun, which shines from below the sun visor.
For this reason, when receiving sunlight from the front with low sunshine altitude, the only way to do this is to hold your hand, block it with a substitute on hand, or be forced to endure it. The fact was not fulfilled.

On the other hand, in recent years, a proposal of an auxiliary sun visor provided with a mounting tool capable of retrofitting an auxiliary visor to an existing sun visor so that the light shielding range of the sun visor can be expanded and changed when necessary (for example, Patent Documents 1 to 5). Reference 3) has been made.
Furthermore, as an idea to supplement the above technology, the auxiliary visor attached to the sun visor is configured to be slidable so that the amount of protrusion of the auxiliary visor downward (protrusion allowance) relative to the sun visor can be changed arbitrarily. (For example, patent document 4) etc. are known.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-080734 JP 08-282273 A JP 09-290637 A JP-A-10-278581

However, in the proposal of the auxiliary sun visor in which the light-shielding range of the sun visor in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 can be enlarged and changed when necessary, the auxiliary visor 16 is replaced with the sun visor 15 as a configuration of the mounting tool. A locking pin 20 for locking and fixing to the edge portion 15a of the auxiliary visor 16 is specially provided, and the sun visor 15 must be provided with a locking hole 24a for receiving the locking pin 20. It is necessary to configure the sun visor as a special specification from the beginning, and since the existing sun visor cannot be used, it is expensive and the amount of protrusion of the auxiliary visor 16 in the downward direction relative to the sun visor 15 (protrusion size) ), It is necessary to change the shape of the auxiliary visor 16 from the beginning. It was not a practical one because it can not change remains in use state in a motor vehicle.

Moreover, in the proposal of the fixture in an auxiliary visor like patent document 2 and patent document 3, it is auxiliary | assistant by the leaf | plate spring-shaped attachment clip 4 which the former inserts in the lower edge part of the sun visor 1, and fixes it. A colored transparent plate 2 is attached as a visor. In the latter case, the plastic plate 1 as an auxiliary visor is attached to the sun visor, and the same leaf spring-like pinching metal fitting 5 or the pinching metal fitting 5 is used for preventing falling off. The attachment means by the combination of the cloth bands 6 is disclosed as an attachment that enables the auxiliary visor to be retrofitted, or the means for attaching the plastic plate 1 to the sun visor so as to be rotatable directly from the beginning is disclosed. However, in these cases, the auxiliary visor is continuously attached to the lower side edge of the sun visor, so that the auxiliary visor is not fitted in the downward direction. However, it is necessary to replace the auxiliary visor with a different one in the shape of the auxiliary visor as in the case of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 for use in an automobile. Since it cannot be changed in the state, it was not practical.

Further, the amount of protrusion of the auxiliary visor in the downward direction (protrusion allowance) with respect to the sun visor can be changed while being used in the automobile, and as in Patent Document 4, a light reducing plate 21 as an auxiliary visor. The light reducing plate 21 is fixedly attached to the sun visor 22 by using a clip-type leaf spring mounting portion 34 or a U-shaped mounting portion 35 and a mounting screw 36, and the light reducing plate 21 is attached to the sun visor 22. The dimmer 21 is configured to be slidable with respect to the visor 22, and is clamped and held by a mounting portion 23 and a screw 24 at a desired position, or the dimming plate 21 is pressed by a pressing force by a leaf spring 28 provided on the mounting member 27. The friction is held at the position. That is, special tools such as screws 24 and leaf springs 29 are required as means for changing the protruding amount (protrusion allowance) of the auxiliary visor, which not only increases the cost, but also reduces the light attenuation plate 21. Each time the slider is slid, the light reducing plate 21 may be rubbed and damaged by the screw 24 or the leaf spring 29.
Also, the attachment method to the sun visor 22 is also a structure that is attached to the lower side edge portion of the sun visor with a spring clip or the like, as in the above-mentioned patent documents and the like. There is a problem that the sun visor is deformed or damaged because it is necessary to increase the force or tighten with a screw.

Therefore, the present invention was created to improve and solve the above-mentioned problems, and the object of the present invention is to completely change the design of the existing sun visor in the vehicle and the specifications such as the dimensional structure. By using the upper side edge of the existing sun visor without requiring it, it can be easily attached and detached without damaging the sun visor by making it a simple attachment method that can be hooked, When changing the amount of protrusion of the sun visor in the downward direction (protrusion allowance), it can be easily changed in at least two steps according to the user's eyes by simply inverting the top and bottom of the auxiliary visor. In the sun visor, even if the sun shines from below the sun visor that could not be shielded or dimmed, such as the setting sun and the morning sun, the sun's altitude is low. It is to provide low cost and easily auxiliary visor for an automobile sun visor which can.

  In order to achieve the above object, the problem solving means of the present invention is to form an auxiliary visor body of a predetermined size with an appropriate material having moderate flexibility and light shielding or dimming effect. In addition, a mounting locking hole drilled at a position biased to one side from the upper and lower side edge portions is provided, while the locking hole is passed through an appropriate soft metal wire that can be easily bent. Forming a hook member having a fitting locking portion capable of sandwiching the auxiliary visor body and an arm portion having a predetermined length extending from the fitting locking portion in a V shape. Is provided with a curved portion formed by bending the arm portion so as to be hooked on the upper side edge portion of the sun visor in a state in which the locking hole and the fitting locking portion are fitted, and the hook member and the sun visor , Can be mounted to sandwich the auxiliary visor body Characterized in that the configuration was.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the auxiliary visor body is used to obtain a translucent colored material that can obtain at least a dimming effect, such as a synthetic resin having moderate flexibility, or various pattern patterns or a polarizing effect. Any one of polarization patterns such as a parallel grid or a combination thereof is provided.

According to the present invention, as described in claim 1, an auxiliary visor body having a predetermined size is formed of an appropriate material having moderate flexibility and light shielding or dimming effect. While mounting holes for mounting are provided at positions offset to one side from the upper and lower edges, the above-mentioned locking holes are made to pass by a suitable soft metal wire that can be bent easily. A hook member having a fitting locking part capable of sandwiching the auxiliary visor body and an arm part having a predetermined length extending from the fitting locking part in a V shape is formed. A curved part formed by bending the arm part so as to be hooked on the upper side edge part of the sun visor in a state where the locking hole and the fitting locking part are fitted, is provided by the hook member and the sun visor. It is configured to be freely mounted so as to sandwich the auxiliary visor body Therefore, there is no need to make the existing sun visor special or make new design changes, and the auxiliary visor body can be easily attached by simply hooking it on the upper edge of the existing sun visor. It can be removed and removed without damaging the existing sun visor, and when installed, the sun shines from below the sun visor, which cannot be shielded by the existing sun visor, and the sunlight level is low, such as the setting sun or the sun. Even in the case of oblique sunlight, in combination with fine adjustment by the bending amount of the curved portion bent in accordance with the existing sun visor, it is possible to surely reduce the light within a predetermined protruding amount (protrusion allowance) range. It provides a comfortable environment for passengers in the front passenger seat and the rear seat, and has the practical effects such as being able to achieve the intended operation effect at a low cost and easily. .

In addition, when the auxiliary visor body is mounted, it can be rotated together with the sun visor toward the ceiling inside the vehicle to hold it in the stowed state, and it is desired to change the predetermined amount of protrusion (protrusion allowance) downward The upper and lower edges of the auxiliary visor main body are rotated around the locking hole with respect to the hook member and turned upside down, so that the amount of protrusion to the sun visor is reduced. It is possible to change to at least two steps relatively as much as it is perforated to one side, and it can be easily changed in the state of use in the automobile, and there is no rubbing part, so the auxiliary visor can be used. It has practically high effects such as no damage.

In addition, the auxiliary visor of the present invention has a very simple configuration of the auxiliary visor main body and a hook member having a V-shaped arm portion, but is curved at the tip of the arm portion bent in accordance with the shape of an existing sun visor. V-shaped upper two-point support structure that can be easily and surely attached / detached without damaging the sun visor, and has only the curved portion hooked while the fitting locking portion is the lower center of gravity. Therefore, the auxiliary visor can be stably supported and held without swinging left and right, and the amount of protrusion (protrusion allowance) can be easily changed by fine adjustment and assistance by the bending amount of the arm bending portion. It is possible to use it in the car by reversing the visor body, etc., as well as the effect of dimming oblique sunlight with a low sunshine altitude, as well as its excellent effect at a low price. A.

Further, according to the present invention, as described in claim 2, the auxiliary visor body is made of a translucent coloring material that can obtain at least a light-reducing effect, such as a synthetic resin having moderate flexibility, or various pattern patterns. Or a polarization pattern such as a parallel grid for obtaining a polarization effect, or a combination thereof, so that it is oblique sunlight with a low sunlight altitude such as the setting sun or the sun rising from below the sun visor. However, it can diminish the oblique sunlight that reliably enters within the range of the specified amount of protrusion (protrusion allowance), can provide a comfortable and safe environment for passengers at low cost, and can also provide multiple flowers and animals. In the case of a pattern pattern with a geometric pattern or the like, it is possible to exhibit a healing effect such as fashion and gentleness to the eyes of the driver and passengers. In case As a polarizing filter, the sun visor's auxiliary functions can be achieved at low cost, such as being able to reliably polarize the light and reducing dimming without compromising the driver's / passenger's field of view and external colors at all. It is something that can be done.

It is a front view for explanation at the time of attaching an auxiliary visor to the existing sun visor in one embodiment of the present invention. It is a right view for description in embodiment of FIG. 1 of this invention. It is a front view which shows an example of the hook member as an attaching means which comprises the auxiliary visor for sun visors of this invention. It is a right view for description in embodiment of FIG. 3 of this invention.

  The present invention will be described below based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a state in which an auxiliary visor according to an embodiment is attached to an existing sun visor as viewed from the passenger side.

FIG. 2 is a right side view for explaining the usage state of the auxiliary visor and the sun visor in the embodiment of FIG. 1, and FIGS. 3 and 4 are examples of hook members as mounting means constituting the auxiliary visor of the present invention. It is the front view for description showing the state before use in, and its side view.

As shown in FIG. 1, an auxiliary visor for an automobile sun visor according to an embodiment includes an auxiliary visor main body 1 formed of an appropriate material having appropriate flexibility and light-shielding or dimming effect, and an existing visor main visor. And a hook member 3 having a substantially V shape as an attaching means for hooking to the sun visor 6.

The auxiliary visor body 1 is made of a suitable material that is moderately flexible and translucent with light-shielding or dimming effects, such as a synthetic resin that has heat resistance against direct sunlight and ultraviolet rays and resistance to fading. Desirably, the shape thereof is at least a size in the vertical direction where a portion overlapping the existing sun visor 6 and a portion (protrusion allowance) protruding further downward from the lower side edge portion 6b of the sun visor 6 are obtained. It is formed in a substantially square shape having a lateral dimension sufficient to cover the lateral width of the visor 6.

In more detail, the auxiliary visor body 1 has a hook member as an attaching means to be described later at an eccentric position from the upper edge portion 1a and the lower edge portion 1b, that is, at a position of the dimension La from the upper edge portion 1a. 3, the dimension Lb from the locking hole 2 to the lower edge 1 b of the auxiliary visor main body 1 is up to the upper edge 1 a. It is longer than the dimension La by a predetermined degree (in the illustrated embodiment, it is about twice, but any dimension that is not limited to this is possible) and is set in an eccentric state.

In the present invention, the hook member 3 used in combination with the auxiliary visor main body 1 as described above is provided, and this hook member 3 shows an embodiment related to the shape and structure before being attached to the sun visor 6, for example, It is desirable to have a substantially V shape as shown in FIGS. This is because the hook member 3 can be easily bent, that is, soft enough to be bent only by the hand without using a tool, and hard enough to keep the bent shape unless these external forces are applied. It is ideal that the auxiliary visor body 1 is formed of a suitable soft wire made of metal, and after passing through the engaging hole 2 of the auxiliary visor body 1, the auxiliary visor body 1 is clipped. A fitting locking portion 4 is provided to be held between the arm locking portions 4 and arms 5 and 5 extending upward from the fitting locking portion 4 in a V shape. The auxiliary visor main body 1 is sandwiched between the equal arm portions 5 and 5 and the sun visor 6 and is formed in a convenient V shape so as to be stably held so as not to swing left and right.

When attaching the auxiliary visor of the present invention, first, when the arm portions 5 and 5 of the hook member 3 are straight as shown in FIGS. The auxiliary visor main body 1 and the hook member 3 are integrated by being inserted into the locking hole 2 and fitted so that the main body portion around the locking hole 2 is clipped. In this case, the edge side of the auxiliary visor body 1 in which the locking holes 2 are unevenly drilled is the upper edge portion 1a of the auxiliary visor body 1, and the other edge side is below the auxiliary visor body 1 due to the position of the center of gravity. Generally, the edge portion 1b is used.

Next, the distal end portions of the arm portions 5 and 5 are bent with fingertips according to the thickness of the sun visor 6 and the shape of the upper edge portion 6a, and as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, each of them is hooked on the upper edge portion 6a. Curved part 5a. Suitable for the sun visor 6 of the car. Bending is performed as 5a. At this time, the degree of bending of the bending portions 5a and 5a is of course matched to the thickness of the sun visor 6 and the shape of the upper edge portion 6a, but the degree of bending is not limited to the auxiliary visor body 1 protruding below the sun visor 6. Since it is also related to the amount of protrusion (protrusion allowance), it is of course possible to freely set and adjust according to preference.

The auxiliary visor of the present invention integrated as described above simply hooks the curved portions 5a, 5a to the upper edge 6a of the sun visor 6 from the inside of the vehicle, that is, from the side opposite to the windshield. Install. At this time, the auxiliary visor main body 1 is located between the sun visor 6 and the hook member 3 so as not to swing left and right by the two-point support structure of the curved portions 5a and 5a at the tip of the V-shaped arm of the hook member 3. The lower edge portion 1b of the auxiliary visor body 1 protrudes significantly (corresponding to the dimension L1) from the lower edge portion 6b of the sun visor 6, and the dimensions of the protruding auxiliary visor body 1 are larger. By the L1 portion, it is possible to surely block or diminish oblique sunlight having a low sunshine altitude such as the setting sun or the morning sun, which could not be prevented by the sun visor 6 until now.

Further, the sun visor 6 is attached to the curved portion 5a. 5a is simply hooked to the upper edge 6a of the sun visor 6 and can be securely attached and held, and can be stored and held together with the sun visor 6 while being attached. It is.

Furthermore, since the auxiliary visor body 1 simply hooks the curved portions 5a, 5a of the hook member 3 to the upper edge portion 6a of the sun visor 6, not only can it be easily removed, but also the lower edge portion 6b of the sun visor 6. The amount of protrusion (protrusion allowance) of the auxiliary visor body 1 that protrudes downward from the vehicle can be easily changed in the use state in the vehicle. That is, when changing from the state of the allowance dimension L1 shown by the solid line in FIG. 1 to the condition of the allowance dimension L2 where the amount of protrusion downward may be small, the locking hole 2 and the hook of the auxiliary visor main body 1 are used. The upper edge 1a and the lower edge 1b of the auxiliary visor main body 1 are turned upside down as shown by a one-dot chain line in FIG. It is possible to easily change the amount of protrusion (protrusion allowance) downward from L1 to L2 on the spot. On the contrary, it is needless to say that the amount of protrusion (protrusion allowance) can be changed from L2 to L1, and also the fine adjustment of the degree of bending of the bending portions 5a and 5a of the hook member 3 described above. Together, the degree of freedom regarding adjustment of the amount of protrusion (protrusion allowance) in the downward direction of the auxiliary visor body 1 is high and simple.

The auxiliary visor according to the present invention is limited to a light shielding method with no light transmittance as long as it is a material having an appropriate flexibility so that it can be easily attached and detached. For example, it can be a translucent material with a light dimming effect to the extent that it is not dazzling, or it can be a dimming method with a colored translucent material, and the color in the case of these colors is also specified at all It is not a thing.

The main body 1 of the auxiliary visor is not shown, but the surface thereof is provided with a print pattern such as a flower, an animal, a geometric pattern, etc. having a light shielding or dimming effect, and the print pattern blocks the oblique sunlight. It may be configured so that the driver and passengers are not dimmed by dimming. In this case, in addition to the original effect of the auxiliary visor, green has a healing effect such as an anti-fatigue effect with green. It is obtained together.

Further, although the auxiliary visor body 1 is not shown, it is formed of a transparent flexible material and has a polarization pattern such as a parallel grid on its surface (this polarization pattern has a polarization effect). If possible, a mesh or dot pattern can be used in addition to a parallel grid), and a polarizing filter effect is obtained to polarize oblique sunlight so that the driver and passengers are not dazzled. In addition, as a merit in this case, it is possible to obtain a dimming effect under a color with no sense of incongruity, such as a traffic light, as compared with the translucent colored auxiliary visor body 1.

As described above, the shape and material of the auxiliary visor body constituting the auxiliary visor of the present invention, the amount of protrusion (protrusion allowance), the shading and shading method of oblique sunlight, the pattern of the print pattern, the polarization pattern, etc. Which of these is adopted or combined is not limited to the embodiment, and the structure of the engagement locking portion of the hook member is a spiral of about two turns instead of the clip shape. However, it is possible to hold and hold the auxiliary visor main body, and it is possible to carry out various combinations thereof. In any case, if the auxiliary visor main body and the hook member are combined integrally, this The excellent effect of the invention can be exhibited without impairing it.
This is the end of the description of the embodiment of the present invention, but it is needless to say that the scope of the present invention is not limited to the details shown or described.

Since the present invention is an auxiliary visor for an automobile sun visor, it is used not only in passenger cars but also in industries that manufacture all automobiles such as truck vehicles.
