  The present invention relates to a technique for thinning a sun visor body of a vehicle sun visor.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a sun visor body that constitutes a vehicle sun visor includes a resin bearing member including a bearing portion that supports a support shaft, and pads made of urethane foam disposed on both sides of the bearing member.
In recent years, there has been a demand for thinner sun visor bodies. However, although the thickness of the pad can be reduced to some extent, there is a limit to reducing the thickness of the bearing member. In this case, a step is generated in the vicinity of the outer peripheral edge of the bearing member, and the appearance (appearance) of the sun visor body is not good.
Therefore, it can be considered that the bearing member is not covered with pads. If comprised in this way, it can improve appearance, thinning a sun visor main body.
Here, Patent Document 1 has a resin bearing member and a body fixed to the bearing member, and the body is formed in a non-hollow shape by polyurethane foam, and the outer surface thereof is a hard sheath. A sun visor body coated with a ridge is disclosed.

JP 62-234721 A

Since the sun visor body disclosed in Patent Document 1 is not covered with the body on both sides of the bearing member, the thickness of the sun visor body can be reduced. However, the strength is not sufficient.
The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and an object of the present invention is to provide a technique capable of reducing the thickness of the sun visor body while ensuring sufficient strength.

The vehicle sun visor according to the present invention is attached to a ceiling surface of a passenger compartment, and is formed between a storage position and a use area around a major axis of the horizontal axis portion and a support shaft formed by the vertical axis portion and the horizontal axis portion. A rotatable sun visor body is provided.
The sun visor body includes a bearing member, a bone frame, a reinforcing plate, and a pad. The bearing member has a bearing portion that supports the horizontal shaft portion so as to be rotatable about the major axis of the horizontal shaft portion . The bearing member is typically made of resin. The bone frame is fixed to the bearing member and bent in a loop shape. The bone frame is typically made of metal. The bone frame has a gap forming portion on at least one side along the longitudinal direction of the horizontal shaft portion with respect to the bearing member when viewed from the side surface of the sun visor body. Thereby, the clearance gap which the horizontal axis | shaft part side is opening is formed of the clearance gap formation part of a bone frame, and a bearing member. The reinforcing plate is disposed inside the bone frame bent in a loop shape. The reinforcing plate is typically formed of cardboard. The pad has a first pad and a second pad disposed on both sides in the thickness direction of the reinforcing plate. The first pad and the second pad are disposed at locations other than the side surface of the bearing member. The first pad and the second pad are typically formed of urethane foam.
The “side surface of the bearing member” in which the first pad and the second pad are not disposed typically corresponds to the side surface of the main body portion including the bearing portion.
In some cases, the reinforcing plate is not disposed on at least one side of the bearing member along the long axis direction of the horizontal shaft portion . For example, when the end portion of the bone frame is attached to the bearing member from the side opposite to the horizontal shaft portion (downward), the bone frame of both sides along the long axis direction of the horizontal shaft portion with respect to the bearing member. The reinforcing plate is not disposed on the side where the end of this is attached. If a reinforcing plate is not disposed between the first pad and the second pad, an external force is applied to the first pad and the second pad in a direction (thickness direction) intersecting the side surface of the sun visor body. Then, the first pad and the second pad may be displaced in the thickness direction. When the first pad and the second pad are displaced in the thickness direction, the appearance of the sun visor body is deteriorated.
In this invention, it has the position shift prevention part which prevents the position shift of the thickness direction of a 1st pad and a 2nd pad. The misalignment preventing portion is disposed in a gap between the bearing member and the gap forming member on at least one side of the bearing member along the long axis direction of the horizontal shaft portion. The misregistration prevention unit is disposed between the first pad and the second pad. It is sufficient that at least a part of the misregistration prevention unit is disposed between the first pad and the second pad. The side surface of the portion of the misalignment prevention portion disposed between the first pad and the second pad is not included in the “side surface of the bearing member” of the present invention.
In the present invention, since the pads (first pad and second pad) are not disposed on the side surface of the bearing member, the sun visor body can be thinned. Moreover, since the bone frame and the reinforcing plate are arranged between the first pad and the second pad, sufficient strength can be ensured. In addition, because the gap forming part of the bone frame and the bearing member form a gap that opens on the side of the horizontal axis, external force is applied from the side of the horizontal axis to the place where the gap is formed. In addition, the amount of pressing can be regulated by the pad disposed in the gap forming portion, and the original shape is restored by the restoring force of the pad. Thereby, generation | occurrence | production of the wrinkle etc. to an outer skin can be prevented. In addition, since the bearing member has a misalignment prevention portion disposed between the first pad and the second pad on at least one side along the major axis direction of the horizontal shaft portion , the first The pad and the second pad can be prevented from being displaced in the thickness direction, and the appearance of the sun visor body can be prevented from deteriorating. In addition, since the misalignment prevention portion is arranged in the gap formed by the gap forming portion of the bone frame and the bearing member, when an external force in the thickness direction or an external force is applied to the gap from the side of the horizontal axis, the pad It is possible to prevent the occurrence of misalignment and wrinkles on the epidermis.

  In the present invention, it is possible to reduce the thickness of the sun visor body while ensuring sufficient strength.

FIG. 1 is a schematic overall configuration diagram of a vehicle sun visor 100 according to the present embodiment. The sun visor body 110 is disposed on the windshield side, and the side surface of the sun visor body 110 is disposed so as to extend in a substantially vertical direction. It shows the state being done. 2 is a view taken along the line II-II in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a view taken along the line III-III in FIG. 1.

The vehicle sun visor 100 according to this embodiment includes a plate-shaped sun visor main body 110, a support shaft 120 for mounting the sun visor main body 110 to the vehicle, and a mounting bracket 130.
The support shaft 120 has a circular cross section, and is formed in a substantially L shape by a vertical axis portion 120a extending in a substantially vertical direction and a horizontal axis portion 120b extending in a generally horizontal direction. The vertical axis portion 120a is attached to the vehicle via the attachment bracket 130. In this embodiment, it is rotatably attached to the front right corner of the ceiling surface of the passenger compartment.

  In this specification, when the sun visor main body 110 arranged as shown in FIG. 2 is viewed from the occupant side, the long axis direction of the horizontal shaft portion 120b is referred to as the “left-right direction” and the horizontal shaft portion 120b. The direction that intersects the major axis direction is called “vertical direction”. Also, the vertical axis 120a side along the left-right direction is called “right side”, the opposite side (support shaft 111 side) from the vertical axis 120a is called “left side”, and the horizontal axis 120b side along the vertical direction is called “upper side” The side opposite to the horizontal axis portion 120b is referred to as the “lower side”. A direction intersecting with the left and right direction and the up and down direction of the sun visor body 110 is referred to as a “front-rear direction” or a “thickness direction”.

The sun visor main body 110 is rotated around the long axis of the horizontal shaft portion 120b, thereby blocking the light that enters through the storage position where the side faces the ceiling of the passenger compartment and the glass (front glass or side glass). The position can be changed between possible use areas (light-shielding areas).
The horizontal shaft portion 120b corresponds to the “support shaft” of the present invention.

  The sun visor body 110 has a support shaft 111 on the free end side (left side) of the upper edge. The support shaft 111 can be held by a hook (not shown) attached to the front side of the ceiling surface of the passenger compartment. By holding the support shaft 111 on the hook, the position of the sun visor body 110 can be stably changed from the storage position to the use area or from the use area to the storage position at a position on the front side of the ceiling surface of the passenger compartment. .
