Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a sunshade for a vehicle with a sunroof, and more particularly, to a sunshade that covers the lower side of the sunroof that is assembled to the corner portion of the roof.

(Prior art) Vehicles with sunroofs are generally equipped with
-As shown in Publication No. 85313, a sunshade is placed on the underside of the sunroof and can be freely moved in and out.
The sunshade blocks sunlight and the like coming through the sunroof.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) By the way, in the above sunroof-equipped vehicle, when the temperature difference between the interior of the vehicle and the exterior of the vehicle becomes large, dew forms on the underside of the sunroof and falls onto the sunshade, causing water droplets to form. If this occurs, it may pass through the sunshade and enter the vehicle interior, or it may flow down onto the inner surface of the roof panel supporting the sunshade or the opening trim fitted to the roof panel, causing damage to the inner surface of the panel or the opening. There was a risk of staining the trim.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention forms drainage grooves extending vertically in the vehicle width direction on the surface of the sunshade facing the sunroof.

By configuring the present invention in this manner, the water droplets that have fallen onto the sunshield are forced to flow down to a desired location via the drain, thereby preventing staining of the interior of the vehicle, etc.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a roof panel constituting the roof of a vehicle, and a substantially rectangular opening 2 is bored in the corner portion of the roof panel 1 in the vehicle width direction, and an opening is formed on the inner peripheral edge of the opening 2. trim 3
At the same time, the lower edge of the opening 2 in the roof panel 1 is partially recessed inward to provide a drainage passage 4 extending vertically.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a sunroof made of glass or the like that covers the opening 2, and the sunroof 5 has an inner end in the vehicle width direction pivoted to the roof panel 1 via a hinge member 6 so as to be removably attached thereto. A weather strip 7 is fitted to the outer periphery of the sunroof 5.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a sunshade which covers the lower surface side of the sunroof 5, and is made by wrapping a core material 8a made of an elastically deformable polyurethane foam with outer skins 8b, 8b made of non-water permeable vinyl chloride sheets to form a flat surface. The sunshade 8 is formed in a rectangular shape, and the sunshade 8 is provided on the upper surface thereof, that is, the surface facing the sunroof 5.
When disposed on the lower surface side of the sunroof 5, a plurality of drain grooves 9, 9, . A drainage guide lip 10 formed by extending the skin 8b downward from the core material 8a is connected to the downstream opening edge of the drainage channels 9, 9.

In the embodiment shown in the figure, the sunshade 8 having the above structure is detachably fitted into the inner peripheral edge of the opening 2 in the roof panel 1. The opening trim 3 assembled to the inner peripheral edge of the
A recess 30 for receiving the edge of the sunshade 8
The sunshade 8 is fitted into the opening 2 through the recess 30 as shown in FIG.

In the figure, 11, 11 is reinforcement, 12
indicates headlining.

The present invention has the above-mentioned structure. For example, when it is desired to block sunlight from entering the vehicle interior through the sunroof 5, the sunshade 8 is elastically deformed and its edge is applied to the recess 30 of the opening trim 3. The sunshade 8 is fitted into the opening 2 by elastic restoring force. At this time, the drainage guide lip 10 is placed in the gap between the sunshade 8 and the sunroof 5, and the sunshade 8 is fitted into the opening 2 as shown in FIG. The lip 10 covers the joint between the sunshade 8 and the opening trim 3 or the outer surface of the opening trim 3.

The water droplets that have condensed on the lower surface of the sunroof 5 and fallen onto the sunshade 8 flow downward through the drain grooves 9, 9, . The water droplets are reliably discharged to the outside of the vehicle from the water drain passage 4 formed in the sunshade 8, and water droplets do not flow in the longitudinal direction on the sunshade 8 due to inertial force, for example, when the vehicle starts or stops.

In the above embodiment, the sunshade 8 is fitted into the inner peripheral edge of the opening 2 in the roof panel 1, but the invention is not limited thereto. Alternatively, the end of the sunshade 8 may be inserted.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, according to the invention, water droplets that condense on the underside of the sunroof and fall onto the sunshade can be reduced.
It is possible to force the water droplets to flow down to a desired location via a drainage groove formed in the sunshade, and therefore, by selecting the location where the water droplets flow down through the drainage groove,
This makes it possible to reliably prevent the interior of the vehicle and the inner surface of the roof panel to which the shade is attached from being soiled by the water droplets.
