[0007]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, an L-shaped support shaft 1 is mounted on a ceiling surface of a vehicle above a windshield 5 of the vehicle by a mounting member 2 at a longitudinal axis thereof.

The sun visor body 11 is provided on the horizontal shaft of the support shaft 1.
Are rotatably mounted. And the sun visor body 1
1 is rotated about the horizontal shaft portion of the support shaft 1,
It is arranged at a storage position along the ceiling of the passenger compartment and at a light blocking position along the windshield 5.

A concave portion is formed on one side surface of the sun visor body 11, and a housing 12 for a light shielding curtain is incorporated in the concave portion. The storage case 12 is formed in a thin box shape having an opening on one side and a storage room in which first and second light shielding curtains 21 and 25 described later are folded and stored. A lid 13 is provided on the upper edge so as to be openable and closable.

In the upper corner of the bottom plate of the storage case 12, FIG.
As shown in the figure, the first and second telescopic rods 16 and 17 are rotatably mounted by spherical bearings 14 and 15, respectively. These first and second telescopic rods 16 and 17
While the first telescopic rod 16 is extended along the upper edge of the windshield 5 and over substantially the entire width of the windshield 5, The two telescopic rods 17 extend along the upper edge of the side glass 6.

The front edge and side portions of the ceiling surface of the cabin are provided with the first and second telescoping rods 16 and 17 in the extended state as shown in FIG. Hooks 18 and 19 for hooking and holding in the state are respectively attached.

A first light-shielding curtain 21 is suspended from the first telescopic rod 16, and a second light-shielding curtain 21 is suspended from the second telescopic rod 17.
Is suspended. The first and second light-shielding curtains 21 and 25 are each made of a thin cloth having a reflective film formed on the surface by metal vapor deposition, and are folded and stored in the storage chamber of the storage case 12.

The first light-blocking curtain 21 has a size that can be developed so as to face substantially the entire surface of the windshield 25, and a large number of suspension rings 22 are provided at predetermined intervals from one end to the other end of the upper edge. It is sewn with. Then, the first telescopic rod 16 is inserted through each suspension ring 22,
Each of the rings 22 corresponding to the proximal end and the distal end of the first telescopic rod 16 is immovably attached to the rod portion.

Further, a plurality of permanent magnets 23 for holding the first light shielding curtain 21 in an expanded state are attached from one end to the other end of the lower edge of the first light shielding curtain 21. The iron piece 8 for each of the permanent magnets 23 is fixed to the upper surface of the instrument panel 7 with a double-sided tape or the like.

The second light-shielding curtain 25 has a size that can be developed so as to face substantially the entire surface of the side glass 6, and has a suspension ring 26 on its upper edge in substantially the same manner as the first light-shielding curtain 21.
Is sewn. In addition, the first and second light shielding curtains 21,
25, these two light shielding curtains 21 and 25
The loop piece and the hook piece of the magic tape 27 which are detachably engaged with each other are sewn.

This embodiment is configured as described above.
Therefore, when the vehicle is parked, the windshield 5
When the light incident from the side glass 6 is shielded, first, the sun visor body 11 is rotated around the horizontal axis of the support shaft 1 to a light shielding position along the windshield 5.

Next, the storage case 1 of the sun visor body 11
The second cover 13 is opened, and in this state, the first telescopic rod 16 is extended horizontally along the upper edge of the windshield, and the tip of the rod is hooked on the hook 18. With the extension of the first telescopic rod 16, the first light shielding curtain 21 is deployed so as to face substantially the entire surface of the windshield 6. The permanent magnets 23 at the lower end of the first light-shielding curtain 21 are respectively installed on the iron pieces 8 on the upper surface of the instrument panel 7, so that the first light-shielding curtain 21 is deployed by the attraction force of the permanent magnets 23. Is kept.

The second telescopic rod 17 is pivoted about the spherical bearing 15 in a direction parallel to the side glass 6, and then horizontally extended along the upper edge of the side glass 6, and Is hooked on the hook 19. With the extension of the second telescopic rod 17, the second light shielding curtain 25 is deployed so as to face substantially the entire surface of the side glass 6. Then, the loop piece and the hook piece of the velcro tape 27 at the opposite side edges of the first and second light shielding curtains 21 and 25 are engaged.

As described above, the first and second light shielding curtains 2
When the first and second light shielding curtains 21 and 25 are unfolded so as to face the windshield 5 and the side glass 6, the light incident from the front glass 5 and the side glass 6 toward the vehicle interior is reduced. Since each is shielded from light by 25, the temperature rise in the vehicle interior and the interior members is suppressed.

When the first and second light-shielding curtains 21 and 25 are not required, the first and second light-shielding curtains 21 and 25 are moved to the storage case 12 of the sun visor main body 11 by the reverse procedure. Is folded and stored in the storage room, and is concealed by closing the lid 13 (see FIG. 3).

In the above embodiment, the first and second telescopic rods 16 and 17 are assembled to the storage case 12 of the sun visor body 11, and the first telescopic rod 16 is attached to the first telescopic rod 16 corresponding to the windshield 5. Of the second light-shielding curtain 2 corresponding to the side glass 6 on the second telescopic rod 17.
5 are suspended, but the second light shielding curtain 25 is not necessarily provided. That is, the temperature rise in the vehicle compartment, especially the surface temperature of the steering wheel 3 and the seat 4 can be suppressed by only the light shielding curtain 21 corresponding to the windshield 5.

Further, in the above embodiment, the light-shielding curtain is provided only for the sun visor body 11 on the driver's seat side. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the sun visor body 1 on the passenger seat side is provided.
A light-shielding curtain may be provided for 1 ', and a light-shielding curtain having a development area of about half of the windshield 5 is provided for each of the sun visor bodies 11, 11' on the driver's side and the passenger's side. Is also good.

[0023]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Telescopic rod accommodating portion of the sun visor body is extended over substantially the entire width of the upper edge of the windshield, substantially the entire surface of the front glass in a state folded shielding curtain is hung in the longitudinal direction of the telescopic rod in the receiving portion By being deployed facing, light entering from the windshield during vehicle parking can be blocked by the light blocking curtain,
It is possible to suppress a rise in the temperature of the vehicle interior and interior members.
When the light-shielding curtain is not required, the telescopic rod is shortened and stored in the storage portion of the sun visor body, and the light-shielding curtain is folded and stored, so that the light-shielding curtain can be stored in another place in the vehicle cabin. This eliminates the need to secure storage space.
