The present invention relates to a vehicle sunroof device provided with a sunshade member capable of opening and closing the ceiling opening.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional sunroof device for a vehicle of this type, there is, for example, one shown in FIGS.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8,
For the molded ceiling 1 and the sunshade member 2 that opens and closes the opening 1a of the molded ceiling 1, common skin materials 3 and 4 are used for aesthetics in the vehicle interior. For the skin materials 3 and 4, a so-called raised tricot material with raised hair tips is used.

As shown in FIG. 10, a raw material (woven fabric) 5 of the brushed tricot material used for the skin materials 3 and 4 is usually wound by a roll. In addition, there is a habit that stands obliquely along the longitudinal direction of the rolled raw material 5. Also, as shown in FIG. 9, the width of the raw fabric 5 is set to be substantially the same as the vehicle width in view of the miniaturization of the production equipment, whereby the tip of the brushed tricot material stuck to the surface of the molded ceiling 1 is formed. Stands in the vehicle front-back direction.

Along with this, the rising direction of the bristle tip of the skin material 4 stuck to the surface of the sunshade member 2 is conventionally made to be the same as the rising direction of the bristle tip of the skin material 3 on the surface of the molded ceiling 1. , Along the vehicle front-rear direction. The sunshade member 2 has an opening 1a on the upper surface of the molded ceiling 1.
The opening 1a is opened and closed by sliding in the front-rear direction while being in contact with the skin material 3 which is turned upside from the periphery of the opening 1a.

[0006]

However, in such a conventional vehicle sunroof device, as shown in FIG. 7, when the sunshade member 2 is slid in one of the front and rear directions, the opening 1a of the molded ceiling 1 is opened. Of the skin material 4 of the sunshade member 2 which comes into contact with the peripheral edge of the sunshade member 2 so as to fall in a direction opposite to the direction in which the skin material 4 stands. As a result, the operation force of the sunshade member 2 differs depending on whether the opening 1a is closed or opened, and the operability is not good.

When the sunshade member 2 is slid in the direction opposite to the direction in which the skin material 4 is raised, the hair ends of the skin material 4 sequentially cover the periphery of the opening 1a of the molded ceiling 1. There is a problem that abnormal sounds such as "crack and crack" are continuously generated by being hooked and coming off by the brushing of No. 3, which impairs a sense of quality.

Conventionally, as one of these countermeasures, when setting is made so as to minimize the contact between the skin members 3 and 4 of the molded ceiling 1 and the sunshade member 2 as much as possible, due to variations in the assembly of the parts, A gap is formed between the molded ceiling 1 and the sunshade member 2, and a problem occurs in which light outside the vehicle leaks from the gap.

As another countermeasure, there is a method in which the surface of the sunshade member 2 is depressed to the outside of the room except for the surface that comes into contact with the molded ceiling 1 when the sunshade member 2 is fully closed, so that the sunshade member 2 is not brought into contact during operation. In this case, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the entire sunroof in order to secure a space in which the sunshade member 2 is recessed, which causes a problem that the size of the apparatus is increased.

The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional problem, and the operation force of the sunshade member is made uniform at the time of opening and closing the opening without causing any trouble, thereby improving the operability. It is another object of the present invention to provide a vehicle sunroof device capable of preventing generation of abnormal noise at the time of opening / closing operation and enhancing a sense of quality.
