93321) and the like.

[0003] The former is used by leaning it along the inner surface of the front window, and the latter is by pulling out the light-shielding film from the sun visor body and fixing the lower end to the boundary between the dashboard and the front window. It is used to stretch along the front window.

[0004]

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, since the folding screen-shaped sun visor is a large one that covers the front window with one sheet, it is very bulky even if it is folded after removing it from the front window, and if you leave it alone, it will be folded There is a problem that the storage area is poor because the part spreads naturally. On the other hand, in the configuration in which the light-shielding film is wound inside the sun visor main body, there is a problem that the mechanism for winding is large, and when the light-shielding film is stored, it easily hits the head of a driver or the like.

[0005] Therefore, a technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a sun visor device which does not interfere with storage.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, a sun visor device for an automobile according to the present invention is configured as follows. That is, a beam member having a length corresponding to the width of the front window of the automobile,
A first attaching means for attaching a central portion of the beam member to an inner mirror located at a front end of a ceiling surface in the vehicle, and a second attaching means for attaching both end portions of the beam member to sun visor bodies located on both sides of the inner mirror. ing. The beam member rotatably holds the plurality of cylindrical housings and adjacent ends of adjacent housings between a first position in which both housings are aligned and a second position in which both housings are aligned substantially parallel. And connecting means. Each of the housings has a light-shielding film that is stretched along the front window to block sunlight, and a storage mechanism that stores the light-shielding film so as to be drawn out. further,
The sun visor device includes holding means for holding each light shielding film in a state of covering the front window.

[0007] As the first attachment means, for example, a belt-shaped or hook-shaped member suspended from an inner mirror can be used, and as the second attachment means, for example, a clip-shaped member to be sandwiched between the sun visor body. A member can be used. Further, as the light-shielding film, for example, a sheet-like film can be used so as to be wound up and housed in a housing, or a folding screen-like film having a narrow folding line can be used so as to be folded and housed in a housing. .
Further, as the holding means, for example, a hook-shaped member that is hooked on an outlet of a defroster for a front window, a suction cup attached to the front window, or the like can be used.

[0008]

In the above construction, in order to block sunlight entering the room from the front window, first, the beam member in a state where all of the plurality of tubular members are arranged in a straight line is inserted by the first mounting means. At the same time as attaching to the mirror, both ends of the beam member are attached to the sun visor body by the second attaching means. Then, the light-shielding film is pulled out from each cylindrical housing, and is held by holding means.
The front window is kept covered with the light shielding film.

On the other hand, when removing the cover of the front window, the holding state by the holding means is released, and the light shielding film is housed in the housing by the housing mechanism. Then, the first attaching means is detached from the inner mirror and the second attaching means is detached from the sun visor body, the beam member is removed from the vehicle body, and the beam member is folded so that adjacent housings are lined up.

When the beam member is folded in this way,
Unlike a conventional folding screen sun visor, it does not spread when left alone, so it can be stored in a small space such as a corner of a seat. In addition, since the sun visor device is detached from the inner mirror and the sun visor body when the light shielding film is stored, there is no problem that the sun visor device is obstructed during operation.
