JP3114813U - Sun visor for automobile (passenger car) with window - Google Patents

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a sun visor for a passenger car to ensure safe driving by making it possible to grasp traffic signals as well as shielding light rays.
A window portion made of transparent plastic or transparent glass 4 is attached to a central portion of a sun visor 1 of a passenger car. When the sun visor is lowered, the beam can be blocked and the traffic light at the upper front of the road can be grasped.

Description

The present invention relates to an automobile sun visor. More specifically, the present invention relates to an automobile (passenger automobile) sun visor in which a window is provided at the center of a sun visor body provided to shield light rays attached to an upper part of a driver seat of an automobile (passenger automobile).

When the front sunbeams are strong while the automobile is running, it is usual to use a sun visor that is attached to the upper part of the driver's seat in order to shield the sunbeams. This is because the sun visor in the driver's seat prevents glare and ensures safe driving.
However, although the sun visor is lowered, the sunlight rays obliquely forward are obstructed. However, when the traffic signal or the like is obliquely forward, there is a state where the traffic signal cannot be sufficiently sensed due to the sun visor. Therefore, the inconvenience and inconvenience which had to move a body from the side of a sun visor and see a traffic signal had arisen. In some cases, because of the sun visor, traffic signals etc. may be overlooked, resulting in inconvenience that safe driving cannot be ensured.

An object of the present invention is to solve the problem of whether it is possible to ensure safe driving without oversight of traffic signals or the like generated due to a sun visor devoted to driving a car. In particular, passenger cars with low vehicle height (excluding buses and trucks) have low driver seats, so the sunscreen visor shields the sunbeams, etc., and the traffic signal diagonally in front of the road overlaps. We focused on the phenomenon that cannot be fully understood.

As a result of intensive research to achieve the above objectives, the present inventor has noticed that there is no hindrance to driving and that traffic signals etc. can be sufficiently sensed if there is a window part of the sun visor that is laid down during driving. The present invention has been completed.

That is, the present invention provides a sun visor for automobiles (passenger automobiles) in which a plastic or glass transparent sheet is attached to the center of the sun visor.

The present invention is an automobile sun visor to be attached to the upper part of a driver's seat of an automobile (passenger automobile), and a transparent plastic or glass window is attached to the center of the sun visor.

The size of the window may be any size as long as a traffic signal or the like existing diagonally forward of the road through the window can be detected. Although the sun visor of an ordinary service car is usually about 40 cm to 60 cm wide and about 15 cm to 25 cm long depending on the size of the car, a window part of an appropriate size may be mounted at the center. The size of the window portion is about 15 cm to 40 cm in width and about 7 cm to 15 cm in length, but can be appropriately adjusted depending on the size of the sun visor. In addition, although a window part is a rectangular shape normally, the four corners of a window part may be rounded.

The material of the sun visor may be a commonly used material. For example, the outer layer can absorb sponge-like impacts, and the inner layer can be made of paper (used for corrugated cardboard) and further made of a hard core material. The sun visor has a structure that can withstand impact, and a highly safe one is desired. High quality polyurethane, soft vinyl chloride, and cloth are also available.
Therefore, the material of the window portion of the sun visor is required to be safe and transparent plate-like (sheet-like). Examples include transparent plastic and glass.
Any plastic may be used as long as it is a thermosetting or thermoplastic polymer and can be processed into a plate (sheet) in a transparent state. Durable materials that do not deform for quite a long time are required. The transparent window portion is subjected to ultraviolet shielding or coloring (coloring on the transparency), and is transparent, but a material that needs to be able to ensure sufficient light shielding and to recognize a traffic signal and the like at the upper front is required.

Examples of the transparent plastic include thermoplastic resins such as polyester, polyamide, polyimide, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polycarbonate polyurethane. In addition, thermosetting resins such as polyester acrylate, urethane acrylate, methyl (meth) acrylate, ethyl (meth) acrylate, and phenyl (meth) acrylate are also included.
Depending on the case, you may perform an ultraviolet-ray prevention process and a transparent coloring process.
Polypropylene and acrylic resin are convenient for workability.

The glass material used for the glass window is preferably a material that can ensure durability and safety in the event of breakage. Depending on the case, you may perform an ultraviolet-ray prevention process and a transparent coloring process.

The window part can be attached to the sun visor by attaching a transparent plate made of plastic or glass of the window part to the central part of the sun visor. It can be mounted by a usual method such as screwing several places on the edge of the window or attaching it to the edge of the window with an adhesive. Here, the passenger car means an ordinary passenger car (usually 10 or less) or a light car or the like and a car having a relatively low vehicle height, and excludes large vehicles such as buses and trucks.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows an entire sun visor of a passenger car equipped with a window portion of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 in FIG. 1 denotes a main body of the sun visor, in which the outer layer is covered with a soft synthetic resin, the inner layer is made of corrugated paper, and the core has a hard plastic. It has an outer layer with impact resistance and a hard core.

Reference numeral 2 in FIG. 1 denotes an attachment member for the sun visor on the ceiling of an automobile, and an ordinary ceiling attachment and a member capable of rotating the sun visor are attached. This mounting member is usually made of metal, but may be polyacetal of hard resin or the like.

Reference numeral 3 in FIG. 1 denotes an edge of the window portion, and shows a state where the sun visor body and the window portion are in close contact with each other. In the close contact state, the inserted transparent plastic or transparent glass portion is integrated. Usually fixed with adhesive or corners are fastened.
Transparent plastic or transparent glass is processed into colored transparent. Usually translucent. The transparent plastic or transparent glass may be subjected to ultraviolet blocking treatment.

The sun visor for passenger cars which attached the window part of this invention is shown. The center sectional view of the sun visor for passenger cars of the present invention is shown.
