Description

  The present invention relates to a fixed structure of a vehicle sun visor.

BACKGROUND ART In various vehicles such as automobiles, a sun visor is provided to block sunlight on persons seated in a driver's seat or a passenger seat.

This type of vehicle sun visor is composed of a support shaft attached to the top of the vehicle, a light shielding plate fixed to the support shaft, and other accessories.

The support shaft is an end support portion rotatably supported around a shaft by a bearing portion provided in a ceiling portion or the like of the vehicle;
It comprises a bent portion extending downward from one end supporting portion and bent laterally, and a horizontal axis portion extending laterally from the bent portion to the other end. A shaft hole is provided in the light shielding plate, and the horizontal shaft portion of the support shaft is inserted into the shaft hole, and the shaft and the light shielding plate are connected.

Further, the light blocking plate is provided with a locked portion corresponding to the locking portion provided on the ceiling of the vehicle. The bearing portion is normally provided near the upper end of the A-pillar of the vehicle, and the locking portion is provided at a position closer to the center in the width direction of the vehicle than the bearing portion. The locked portion of the light shielding plate is provided on the side far from the one end support portion, that is, at a position relatively close to the other end of the horizontal shaft portion.

When the light shielding plate is not used, the plate surface of the light shielding plate is in parallel with the ceiling surface. When using a light shielding plate, by rotating the light shielding plate around the axis of the horizontal axis, the plate surface of the light shielding plate falls to various angles, such as a state in which the plate surface is vertical or follows the plate surface of glass To block the sun. At this time, since the locked portion of the light blocking plate is held by the locking portion on the vehicle side, the weight of the light blocking plate does not cause the other end of the support shaft to hang down, and the light blocking plate is stably held.

Patent Document 1 discloses a technique in which the light shielding plate is slid along the axial direction with respect to the horizontal axis portion. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a technology in which the position of the light shielding plate is variable by expanding and contracting the support shaft.
