  The items shown here are exemplary and illustrative of the embodiments of the present invention, and are the most effective and easy-to-understand explanations of the principles and conceptual features of the present invention. It is stated for the purpose of providing what seems to be. In this respect, it is not intended to illustrate the structural details of the present invention beyond what is necessary for a fundamental understanding of the present invention. It will be clear to those skilled in the art how it is actually implemented.

  In the sunshade device (1) according to this embodiment, a sunshade unit (9) capable of pulling out the sunshade body (7) is provided between the door trim (3) and the door panel (5). And the illumination unit (13) which can pull out an illumination member (11) is provided in the vehicle interior side rather than the sunshade unit (9) (for example, refer FIG. 1 etc.).

  The sunshade unit (9) is not particularly limited as long as the sunshade body (7) can be pulled out. In addition to the sunshade body (7), the sunshade unit (9) includes, for example, a winding means (15) capable of winding the sunshade body (7) in a roll shape, a sunshade body (7), and a winding means. A sunshade case (17) that houses (15), a guide member (17B) that guides the sunshade body (7) when the sunshade body (7) is pulled out and wound up can be provided.

  The configuration of the sunshade body (7) is not particularly limited. The sunshade body (7) can be made of, for example, a woven fabric, a knitted fabric, a flexible sheet-like resin, or the like. The material of the sunshade body (7) is not particularly limited and can be appropriately selected according to the purpose. Examples of the material include polyester (for example, PET, PTT, PBT, etc.), polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, acrylic, and the like. From the viewpoint of flexibility, weather resistance, heat resistance and durability, polyester is preferable. The sunshade body (7) can be a woven or knitted fabric obtained by weaving or knitting fibers made of the above-described materials.

  The sunshade body (7) can be stored, for example, in a state of being wound in a roll (see, for example, FIGS. 1, 2, and 4). That is, the sunshade body (7) can be accommodated between the door trim (3) and the door panel (5) in a state of being wound in a roll shape. The winding form of the sunshade body (7) is not particularly limited. For example, the sunshade body (7) is wound in such a form that the vehicle interior side surface (7A) is the inner peripheral side and the vehicle interior side surface (7B) is the outer peripheral side. (See, for example, FIG. 1 and FIG. 2). In this case, the space | interval of a sunshade main body (7) and an illuminating member (11) becomes narrow, and it becomes easy to pull out both integrally.

  The lighting unit (13) includes, for example, a lighting case (23) that houses the lighting member (11), a light source (25) for causing the lighting member (11) to emit light, and a light guide, in addition to the lighting member (11). A braking means (29) etc. which prevent a member (27) and a lighting member (11) from falling can be provided.

  The form of the illumination member (11) is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately selected according to the purpose. The illumination member (11) can be, for example, a plate shape such as a flat surface or a curved surface (see, for example, FIGS. 1 and 4). The illumination member (11) can be configured to be movable in the vehicle up-down direction, for example, when the sunshade body (7) is pulled out or stored. In this case, for example, the illumination member (11) can be detachably connected at its upper end to the upper end of the sunshade body (7).

The illumination member (11) is preferably made of a material having excellent light transmission. This material is not particularly limited and can be appropriately selected depending on the purpose. Examples of the material include polymethyl methacrylate resin (PMMA), polycarbonate resin (PC), polyarylate resin (PAR), polystyrene resin, cycloolefin resin, polyvinyl chloride resin, polyphenylene ether resin, modified polyphenylene ether resin, poly Etherimide resin, polyethersulfone resin, polysulfone resin, polyetherketone resin, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin, polyethylene naphthalate resin, polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin, polybutylene terephthalate resin, aromatic polyester resin, polyacetal resin, polyamide Resins such as resin and glass are exemplified.
Moreover, the illumination member (11) may be colored or may not be colored.

  The illumination member (11) may be subjected to a surface treatment such as a groove forming process by cutting, an unevenness forming process, or a rough surface process. When such a surface treatment is performed, the light transmitted through the illumination member (11) can be reflected on the surface, and patterns, characters, etc. according to the surface treatment can be raised. Moreover, such a surface treatment may be performed only on one of the two surfaces of the illumination member (11) on the vehicle interior side and the vehicle interior side, or on both surfaces. In addition, when the surface treatment is performed on the surface outside the passenger compartment of the lighting member (11), the vehicle occupant contacts the surface treatment portion as compared with the case where the surface treatment is performed on the inner surface. Therefore, it is preferable because adhesion of dirt or the like to this portion is prevented.

  Further, for example, the illumination member (11) may be provided with a cavity (gap) portion therein, or a member made of a material having a different refractive index may be embedded therein. Thereby, when the light irradiated to the illuminating member (11) passes through the inside, the light is refracted and reflected in the cavity or the like, so that a pattern, characters, or the like corresponding to them can be raised.

  In addition, the code | symbol in the parenthesis of each structure described in the said embodiment shows the correspondence with the specific structure as described in the Example mentioned later.
