BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a deflector holding device for a sunroof for a vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, when the lid slides fully open, for example, when the lid is fully opened, the front end side of the roof opening is, for example, a real opening sho.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 16-216, a deflector is provided to prevent the traveling wind from getting into the vehicle interior.

The outline of the deflector is, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, a left and right deflector arms 10 are provided at the front end side of a roof opening 103 having a lid 101 which can be slid.
5 (the other side is not shown) supported by both ends,
A deflector 107 is provided which can be switched between a retracted storage position (solid line) interlocked with the vertical movement of the deflector arm 105 and an upright operation position (chain line) protruding above the roof opening 103, and a biasing spring ( (Not shown) to the operating posture side which is counterclockwise.

[0004] The deflector arm 105 includes an urging spring 1.
When the lid 101 is slid rearward as indicated by the arrow B, the pressing member 111 of the lid 101 causes the deflector arm 10 to move upward.
By moving away from 5, the deflector arm 105 is released from the pressing force and rotates upward. Thus, the deflector 107 has a structure in which the deflector 107 is switched from the retracted position to the upright operating position.

[0005]

As described above, the deflector 107 switches from the collapsed storage position to the upright operating position in conjunction with the upward rotation of the deflector arm 105. In the deflector 107, since the holding state is ensured only by the spring pressure of the urging spring, flutter is likely to occur due to the wind during high-speed running, which is a factor that impairs the sense of quality.

In this case, a certain measure can be taken by setting the spring pressure of the urging spring to be strong, but on the other hand, the operation becomes heavy and smooth when switching from the upright operating position to the folded storage position. This leads to new problems, such as a loss of storage.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a deflector holding device for a vehicle sun roof which enables smooth storage and ensures that the deflector can be held in an operating posture without being affected by wind. It is intended to be.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a sun roof having at least a slidable lid in a roof opening of a vehicle body.
At the front end side of the roof opening, both ends are supported by left and right deflector arms which move up and down in conjunction with the sliding opening of the lid and the fully closing of the lid, and the storage position which is folded down in conjunction with the up and down movement of the deflector arm; A deflector body that can be switched to a more protruding upright operating posture is provided, and a magnet is provided on the vehicle body side or the deflector arm side, while the deflector body is a metal adsorber that is attracted and supported by the magnet when the deflector body is in the operating posture. It is provided in a part of.

[0009]

According to this device, the operating posture of the deflector body can be obtained by the deflector arm which rotates upward when the lid is slid and opened. At this time, the attraction body is attracted and supported by the magnet. Therefore, the deflector body does not flutter due to the influence of wind or the like, and a reliable holding state can be obtained. Further, when the lid is fully closed, the adsorbent is easily separated from the magnet by the deflector arm that rotates downward, and the deflector body is in the collapsed storage position.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to FIGS.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a roof of a vehicle, and a roof opening 3 is provided in the roof 1. Roof opening 3
The lid 5 is provided with an openable and closable lid, and a sealing member 9 such as a weather strip which elastically contacts the roof opening edge 7 to secure a seal when the lid 5 is fully closed is provided on an outer peripheral edge of the lid 5.
Is installed.

A mounting bracket 11 is fixed to both sides of the lid 5 over substantially the entire length in the front-rear direction, and a roller-shaped pressing body 12 is provided at a front end thereof. Below the mounting bracket 11, a guide rail 15 having a rail portion 13 having a channel-shaped cross section is arranged from both sides from the front end side of the roof opening 3, while a deflector 17 is provided in a front end side region of the roof opening 3. ing.

The lid 5 is supported by a front moving shoe 19 and a rear moving shoe (not shown) that can slide back and forth with respect to the rail portions 13 of the guide rail 15.

Although the rear moving shoe is not shown,
It has a raising and lowering function for raising and lowering the rear end side of the lid 5, so-called tilt-up and tilt-down, and is driven slidably back and forth by a geared cable 23 running in a guide hole 21 of the rail portion 13. It has become.

On the other hand, the deflector main body 27 of the deflector 17 is formed in a plate shape long in the vehicle width direction connecting the pair of left and right deflector arms 25 and the arm 25, and the deflector arm 25 is moved when the lid 5 is fully closed. And the base is pressed downward by the pressing body 12 acting on the arm upper surface 25a, and the base is
5, a pin 33 is attached to the mounting member 31 fixed by a screw 29.
It is rotatably supported by. The deflector arm 25 is constantly urged upward by a plate-shaped urging spring 35 fixedly supported by the mounting member 31. Therefore, the deflector arm 25 is connected to the lid 5
When the pressing is released by the pressing body 12 at the time of the sliding opening rearward, the upward turning is possible.

The tip of the deflector arm 25 is
As shown in FIG. 4, the holding portion 41 has an arc-shaped guide groove 39 centered on a hinge pin 37 to be described later. The holding portion 41 has a bent portion 43 which is bent inward from the front end edge of the guide slot 39 and has a stopper surface 43 a substantially parallel to the engaging pin 41 of the deflector body 27. Is provided with a magnet 45 whose attraction surface 45a is exposed from the stopper surface 43a.

The deflector body 27 is provided with the engaging pins 41, 41 at both upper ends. Engagement pin 41
Is made of a metal that functions as an adsorber on the side of the deflector body 27 and that can be attracted to the magnet 45, and has a tip slidably engaged in the guide slot 39.

The hinge pins 37, which are supported at both ends by curled bent portions 47, are provided at both ends on the lower end side of the deflector body 27. The hinge pin 37 is pivotally attached to a hinge pin receiving member 49 fixed to the rail portion 13 of the guide rail 15 so as to be rotatable.
Is interposed. Thereby, the deflector body 27
The urging force is always applied in the counterclockwise direction (arrow C in FIG. 1), and the engaging pin 41 can be moved within the range of the guide slot 39.

In the deflector holding device thus constructed, when the lid 5 is fully closed, the deflector arm 25 is pressed downward by the pressing body 13, and the deflector body 27 is folded down as shown by the chain line in FIG. (Chain line).

Next, the lid 5 is moved backward (arrow d).
When the sliding opening is performed, the pressing body 12 separates from the deflector arm 25 and releases the pressing. As a result, the biasing spring 35
As a result, the deflector arm 25 pivots upward, and an upright operating posture (solid line in FIG. 1) of the deflector body 27 is obtained. In this operating position, the magnet 45 and the engaging pin 4
Since the elements 1 are integrally attracted to each other, they do not flutter even under the influence of the wind, so that the operating posture is ensured.
As a result, the traveling wind is generated by the deflector body 27 in FIG.
The air is straightened rearward as indicated by the arrow, and the traveling wind does not enter the vehicle interior.

On the other hand, when the lid 5 is slid forward to fully close the slide, the pressing body 12 presses the arm upper surface 25 a of the deflector arm 25. At this time, the pressing force causes the engaging pin 41 to be separated from the magnet 45 without difficulty and to rotate downward, so that the deflector body 27 can be placed in the collapsed storage position simultaneously with the lid 5 being fully closed.

The engaging pin 41 serving as an attracting member for attracting the magnet 45 is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, separately from the engagement pin 41, metal projections 49 serving as an adsorbent are provided at both lower ends of the deflector body 27. In this case, the magnet 45 for attracting the protrusion 49 is provided on the guide rail 15 side facing the protrusion 49. As a result, the same effect as in the above embodiment can be obtained.

[0023]

As described above, according to the present invention, the deflector in the operating posture can be securely held by the magnet without being affected by the wind, and the fluttering can be suppressed. Can be improved. Further, since the attraction force of the magnet is used, the attraction and the attraction release are facilitated, and the deflector can be smoothly stored.
