23 is a stopper, and this stopper 23 is a sunshade 17
When the fingers are opened independently, the finger recesses 18 will
The sunshade 17 is brought into contact with the sunshade 17 from the rear side so that the sunshade 17 is stopped at a position protruding from the front end edge (hereinafter, referred to as a predetermined rearward position), and the sunshade 17 is moved rearward independently of the panel 8. And a restraining posture (see FIG. 5) for supporting the sunshade 17 from the rear so as to prevent the front end of the sunshade 17 from being pushed into the storage portion 5.
The sunshade 17 is provided in a retracted position (see FIG. 7) that allows the front end of the sunshade 17 to be pushed into the storage portion 5 so that the position can be changed.

That is, the stoppers 23 are provided on the upper surfaces of the rear portions of both guide rails 7 in the front-rear direction, and have inward abutting portions 24 on the front portions. A rear portion of the stopper 23 is pivotally supported by a vertical pin 26 in the inner concave portion 7b of the guide rail 7, and a spring for urging the stopper 23 to rotate outward between the rear portion of the stopper 23 and the guide rail 7.
27 are intervening. Rotation of the stopper 23 in the outward direction is restricted by a protrusion 28 provided on the upper surface of the guide rail, and the abutting portion 24 is located inside the inner side surface of the guide rail 7 at a position where it abuts on the protrusion 28. It is projected, and this posture is the regulation posture. Then, the pair of upward protrusions 17a provided on the rear end of the upper surface of the sunshade 17 are connected to the contact portion 2
The sunshade 17 is prevented from moving rearward as it abuts against 4.

Further, an inclined surface 29 is formed on the front end of the stopper 23 on the side opposite to the abutting portion 24 and inclined outward toward the rear. The inclined surface 29 is a release portion 30 formed on the lower surface of the panel 8.
And have the following relationship. That is, when the panel 8 is moved to the storage position 3, the rain gutter 14 is moved along with the rearward movement of the panel 8.
Each of the release parts 30 slides on the inclined surface 29 while guiding the stopper 23 to rotate inward. Then, at the storage position B of the panel 8, the stopper 23 is rotated by the release portion 30 to the retracted posture that allows the sunshade 17 to be stored, against the path 27, as shown in FIG. 7.

In the above configuration, when the panel 8 in the closed position A is moved rearward to a desired half-opened position by an electric motor or the like, the front abutment piece 19 of the panel 8 pushes the front surface of the finger concave portion 18, so that the sunshade 17 also. It moves backwards in conjunction with each other. In the half open position of the panel 8, the sunshade 17
When opening, the fingers are inserted into the finger recesses 18 and only the sunshade 17 is moved rearward, the projections 17a of the sunshade 17 come into contact with the stopper portions 24 of the stoppers 23 in the regulated posture, so that the sunshade 17 is moved backward by a predetermined distance. Stop at position (5th
(See the drawing), the sunshade 17 cannot be pushed into the storage section 5 any more. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the fingers from being clogged with the front end edge of the storage portion 5 and the entire sunshade 17 to be stored in the storage portion 5 by mistake.

When the sunshade 17 is closed, the finger recesses 18 are always protruding, so that the sunshade 17 can be easily moved forward.

Furthermore, when moving the panel 8 to the storage position B,
The sunshade 17 also moves backwards in conjunction with each other, and the release portion 30 of the rain gutter 14 slides on the inclined surface 29 of the stopper 23 in the vicinity of the storage position B of the panel 8 (see FIG. 6).

At this time, the stopper 23 is rotated and guided inward against the spring 27, and further, as the panel 8 moves rearward, the releasing portion is released.
30 pushes the stopper 23, and the stopper 23 rotates to the retracted posture (see FIG. 7). Therefore, the storage position B of the panel 8
In, the sun shade 17 is completely stored in the storage portion 5 together with the panel 8.

Next, when moving the panel 8 from the storage position B to the closed position A to close the opening 2 of the roof 1, the panel 8
The sunshade 17 remains stationary in the storage section 5 up to the vicinity of the closed position A, and when the panel 8 reaches the closed position A, the engagement piece 21 of the rain gutter 14 is provided on the sunshade 17. It also comes into contact with the upwardly engaged piece 20 from behind. Then, by moving the panel 8 to the closed position A, the sunshade
17 is pushed forward into the rain gutter 14 and the finger recesses 18 project beyond the front end of the storage part 5. At this time, the stopper 23 is disengaged from the release portion 30, and is returned to the original position where it comes into contact with the protrusion 28 of the guide rail 7 by the spring 27.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and the sunshade is not provided with the engaging piece 21 and the engaged piece 20.
It is also possible to push 17 forward by the restoring force of the stopper 23 by the spring 27.

The stopper 23 is used for the roof 1 other than the guide rail 7.
It can be provided on the side, that is, on the fixed side member. Further, the releasing portion 30 can be provided on a moving member on the panel 8 side other than the rain gutter 14.

(Effect of the Invention) In the present invention, the stopper 23 allows the sunshade 17 to move rearward independently of the panel 8.
The posture can be freely changed to a restricting posture that supports the sunshade 17 from the rear so as to prevent the front end of the sunshade 17 from being pushed into the storage part 5 and a retracted posture that allows the front end of the sunshade 17 to be pushed into the storage part 5. Provided on the panel 8
Since the sunshade 17 is moved in conjunction with the panel 8 and stored in the storage portion 5 on the side thereof, the release portion 30 for pushing the stopper 23 to change the posture to the retracted posture side is provided. It is possible to exert an effect.

That is, according to the present invention, when the sunshade 17 is independently moved rearward, the sunshade 17 is supported from the rear side by the urging force of the stopper 23 itself in the regulated posture, so that the front end of the sunshade 17 is accommodated in the storage portion 5. Since it is reliably prevented from being pushed in, no matter where the panel 8 is, when the sunshade 17 is moved backward by the finger and opened, the finger is squeezed by the front edge of the storage section 5, Sunshade 17
It can be surely prevented that the sunshade 17 is accidentally stored in the storage portion 5 until the front end thereof is inserted, and the opening / closing operability of the sunshade 17 can be improved. In addition, sunshades like this
Despite the provision of the stopper 23 that can surely prevent the front end of 17 from being pushed into the storage portion 5, the panel 8
When the sunshade 17 is stored in the storage portion 5, the stopper 23 can change the posture to the retracted posture side with a light force by the release portion of the panel 8, and the stopper 23 hinders the smooth operation of the panel 8. Instead, the sunshade 17 together with the panel 8 can be completely stored in the storage portion 5.
