Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a sun visor used for a competition vehicle.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a general vehicle is equipped with a sun visor on the ceiling above the windshield or on the frame above the windshield. In the conventional sun visor, a shaft rod is provided along the upper edge of the shading plate, and a mounting member that can rotate the shading plate is provided around the shaft rod at the upper part of the shading plate. The sun visor is attached to the automobile by bending it appropriately and fixing its end to the ceiling above the windshield or the frame above the windshield.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 For the purpose of ensuring the safety of passengers in the event of an accident such as a fall, it is not obligatory for competition vehicles to install a roll bar with a sponge wrapped around an iron pipe along the frame of the vehicle interior to reinforce the vehicle. It has been burned.

Therefore, in the competition vehicle, since there is a roll bar at the mounting position of the sun visor of the general vehicle, there is no room for mounting the sun visor.

Therefore, in a competition vehicle, a sun visor is not attached, or a sun visor for a general vehicle is used by being tied to a roll bar with a polyethylene cord fastener or the like.

However, without a sun visor, the glare of a moment could lead to an accident in fine weather.

Further, even if the sun visor for a general vehicle is tied to the roll bar with a polyethylene band-shaped fastener, the sun visor may be lowered or wobbled due to vibration or the like, which is inconvenient.

In view of the above problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a removable sun visor that can be securely fixed to a roll bar and can be easily removed when not in use, such as in cloudy weather. It is an object.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the present invention, an opaque or semi-transparent shading plate and a lower base end portion are fixed to the shading plate at approximately the center of the upper end thereof, the upper free end is curved in an arc shape, and the curved concave portion is faced inward. A pair of leaf spring members facing each other and having substantially the same shape and the same size. The upper ends of the pair of spring members are bent outward, and the roll bar is provided between the curved portions facing the recesses. The above problem was solved by forming the hollow elastic grip portion above the light shielding plate by making the width narrower than the diameter.

Further, the pair of spring members are located slightly above the upper end of the light shield plate at the base end portion fixed to the light shield plate, and on both sides of the light shield plate in the longitudinal direction. It is good to have a fastener insertion hole for tightening the space narrowly,

[0011]

[Action]

 In the sun visor of the present invention, a pair of leaf spring members having substantially the same shape and size and facing each other are fixed by sandwiching the light shield plate at the base end portions of the pair of leaf spring members and above the light shield plate. In addition to forming a hollow part with a pair of leaf spring materials, the free end of the leaf spring material forms an arc-shaped gripping part that faces the recess inward, and the tip of the gripping part is bent outward. This makes it possible to easily attach and detach to and from the roll bar by the elastic force of the elastic material such as a leaf spring material, firmly hold and fix the roll bar, and can be used for roll bars of various diameters.

[0012]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The sun visor (1) comprises an opaque or semi-transparent light shielding plate (2) made of synthetic resin or FRP material, and a holding member (3).

A pair of leaf spring members (3a) (3a) forming a holding portion (3) are fixed to the center of the upper portion of the light shielding plate (2). The spring members (3a) (3a) are made of elastic metal or elastic hard synthetic resin.

The pair of leaf spring members (3a) (3a) is composed of two members having the same shape. At the base end portion (7) below the leaf spring members (3a) (3a), the light shielding plate (2) is provided. The upper end of the pair of leaf springs (3a) (3a) is clamped from both sides by the lower ends of the pair of leaf springs (3a) (3a), and fixed with fasteners (9) such as eyelets or screws.

The free ends (10) at the upper ends of the pair of leaf spring members (3a) (3a) each have an arc shape, and the recesses of the pair are inwardly opposed to each other to form a hollow grip portion (6). ing. The inner space between the recesses, that is, the normal space between the grips (6) is smaller than the diameter of the roll bar (4).

The tip of the upper end of the gripping part (6) is provided with a bent part (11) bent outwards from each other, and the gripping part (6) is elastically opened only by pressing the roll bar (4). And it is easy to put on.

In addition, a hollow portion (12) is formed above the light shielding plate (2) sandwiched by the pair of leaf spring members (3a) (3a) at the lower base end portions thereof, and the leaf spring is formed. At the left and right ends of the material (3a) that correspond to the hollow part (12) slightly below the gripping part (6), there are insertion holes for the attachment of polyethylene band fasteners (such as tie wraps) (7). (8) is provided.

On the other hand, the roll bar (4) is covered around the iron pipe with a cushioning material such as sponge or urethane (not shown), and is provided around the ceiling and the frame of the room of the competition vehicle. The vehicle interior is reinforced and the safety of passengers is ensured when the vehicle falls.

To attach the sun visor (1) to the roll bar (4), hold the lower part of the shading plate (2) and attach the bent part (11) which is the upper end opening of the gripping part (6). , When it is pressed against the roll bar (4) and pushed strongly, it spreads outward from the hollow part (12) of the leaf spring material (3a), the upper end opening of the gripping part (6) spreads widely, and the It comes out to install the visor (1) easily.

Then, since the roll bar (4) is coated around the iron pipe with a shock absorbing material such as sponge or urethane, the gripping portion (6) bites into the cushioning material and is fixed.

If it is loose as it is, the belt-shaped fastener is attached to an insertion hole (8) for mounting a belt-shaped fastener (eg, tie wrap) (5) made of polyethylene, slightly below the grip portion (6). By attaching (7) and pulling the tip of the band-shaped tightening tool (7), the gripping part (6) can be firmly fixed to the roll bar (4).

In order to release the fixing, the band-shaped tightening tool (7) is cut with a cutter or the like, and the sun visor (1) can be easily removed by pulling it downward.

When using the band-shaped tightening tool (7), not only a metal having a strong elasticity such as a leaf spring material but also a metal plate material having a loose elastic force or a hard synthetic resin is used. However, it goes without saying that the gripping part (6) can be firmly fixed to the roll bar (4).

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and the following variations and modifications are possible.

(1) The mounting member (3) is divided into two parts on the left and right above the shield plate (2).

[0026]

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention, the following effects can be achieved. (1) Since the structure is simple, it is easy to manufacture.

(2) Since the mounting member is made of an elastic material such as a leaf spring material, it can be easily attached to and detached from the roll bar.

(3) Since the mounting member is made of an elastic material such as a leaf spring material, it can be mounted even if the roll bar has a different diameter.

(4) Attaching the cord-like fastener to the insertion hole of the attachment member Only by pulling the end of the cord-like fastener, the sun visor can be firmly fixed to the roll bar. Further, the fixing can be easily released by cutting the string-like tightening tool with a cutter or the like.
