Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a sliding roof device for a vehicle, and particularly relates to improving the operability of opening and closing the shade.

[Prior art]

Generally, the sliding roof device of a vehicle is
A glass roof is used to open and close the opening of the roof panel of a vehicle with a so-called sunroof, and when it is closed, it forms part of the roof panel and allows light to pass through.
It consists of a shade that is slidably disposed below the glass roof and blocks light.

Conventionally, in the above-mentioned device, as described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 55-41901, the operability of opening and closing the shades has been improved.
There was one in which the shade was provided with an engaging element, and a recessed part was provided on the vehicle body side to engage with the engaging element so that the shade could be held in a predetermined position.

By the way, with such a sliding roof device, when opening, the glass roof and the shade open simultaneously, and when closing, only the glass roof closes first, and the shade can be manually adjusted by the occupants afterwards when they do not want sunlight to enter the car. Many of them are designed to close.

However, in cases where the shade is closed separately from the glass roof,
If a passenger forgets to close the shade and leaves the vehicle under the scorching midsummer sun, the interior of the vehicle will become extremely hot due to direct sunlight.

[Purpose of invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In such a conventional situation, an object of the present invention is to provide a sliding roof device for a vehicle in which the shade can be opened and closed in conjunction with the glass roof, and the shade can be opened and closed independently.

[Structure of the idea]

The present invention provides a vehicle equipped with a sliding roof device comprising a glass roof that forms a part of the roof panel when closed, and a shade that is slidably disposed below the glass roof. A catch is attached to the shaft, and a hook is provided at the front end of the shade to engage with the catch, and the hook is composed of a gripping part and a front and rear engaging part that engages with the catch, and the front engaging part It has a structure that can be rotated by operating the grip, so that the shade can be opened and closed in conjunction with the glass roof or by itself.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention. In the figures, 1 is a roof panel, in which a rectangular opening 1a is formed;
Guide rails 2 extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body (left and right in FIG. 1) are provided on the left and right sides of a.

A glass roof 3 is placed on the guide rail 2 so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. This glass roof 3 is made of glass that transmits about 20% of light and is formed into the same rectangular shape as the opening 1a of the roof panel 1, and has a seal rubber 4 fixed to its periphery. The glass roof 3 becomes a part of the roof panel 1 when the apparatus is closed, and the opening 1a can be opened and closed by operating an operation switch (not shown).

Furthermore, a resin catch 5 is attached to the front lower surface of the glass roof 3 with rivets 6. The catch 5 has a dogleg shape on its side,
A rectangular engagement hole 5a is formed in the lower half of FIG. 2.

A shade 7 is disposed below the glass roof 3 so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. The shade 7 is made of resin and has substantially the same shape as the glass roof 3, and is used to block light from outside the vehicle. Further, a rectangular handle 7a is screwed and fixed to the lower surface of the front end of the shade 7 at a substantially right angle thereto, and mounting bracket portions 7b are integrally formed at two locations on the front end surface of the shade 7. .

A hook 8 having a generally L-shaped side surface is inserted between the mounting bracket portions 7b so as to face the catch 5. The gripping portion 8b of the hook 8 is pivotally supported by a pin 9 on the mounting bracket portion 7b, and is urged to rotate clockwise in FIG. 2 by a spring 10.

Further, an engaging piece 8a is integrally formed at right angles to the upper part of the gripping part 8b, a front engaging part 8c is formed at the front end of the engaging piece 8a, and a rear engaging part 8c is formed at the upper end of the gripping part 8b. An engaging portion 8d is formed, and before this,
The rear engaging portions 8c and 8d are connected to the engaging hole 5 of the catch 5.
It is adapted to engage with part a.

Next, the effects will be explained.

When opening and closing the shade 7 in conjunction with the glass roof 3, the hook 8 is first engaged with the catch 5. To do this, hold the handle 7a of the shade 7 in your hand and move it forward. The front engaging portion 8c of the hook 8 may be pressed against the engaging hole 5a of the catch 5. Then, the hook 8 rotates counterclockwise, returns to its original position, and engages with the catch 5. In this state, when the opening/closing switch of the device of this embodiment is operated to open/close the glass roof 3, the front engaging portion 8c is pulled forward into the engaging hole 5a of the catch 5, and the engaging hole 5a is pulled forward. The rear engaging portion 8d is pushed rearward to the portion 5a, and thereby the shade 7 can be opened and closed in conjunction with the glass roof 3. By engaging the hook 8 with the catch 5 in this manner, it is possible to avoid closing only the glass roof 3 and forgetting to close the shade 7.

In addition, when opening and closing the shade 7 separately from the glass roof 3, hold the handle 7a of the shade 7 and the grip part 8b of the hook 8, and rotate the hook 8 counterclockwise to connect the hook 8 and the catch. 5, and in this state, hold the handle 7a in your hand and move the shade 7 back and forth.This allows the shade 7 to be opened and closed independently.If you release the engagement in this way, With the glass roof 3 closed, only the shade 7 can be opened to let sunlight into the vehicle, or the shade 7 can be closed to block sunlight. Furthermore, since the rear engaging part 8d is formed on the hook 8, there is no need for a special structure such as a spring to open the shade 7 when the glass roof 3 is opened, and the structure is simple. Therefore, the vehicle interior can be efficiently used as a living space.

In the above embodiment, a case has been described in which the hook 8 is rotatably biased by the spring 10, but the spring 10 is not necessarily required in the present invention. In addition, although the case where the catch 5 is attached to the glass roof 3 and the hook 8 is attached to the shade 7 has been described, the catch 5,
The hooks 8 can also be attached to the shade 7 and the glass roof 3, respectively.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the sliding roof device for a vehicle according to the present invention, the hook on the shade side that engages with the glass roof is composed of a gripping part and a front and rear engaging part that engages with the catch. The front engaging part has a structure that can be rotated by operating the grip, so the shade can be linked to both opening and closing of the glass roof, and it is also possible to open and close the shade independently by operating the grip. This has the effect that the shade can be opened and closed in conjunction with the glass roof, or by itself. Furthermore, in this invention, since the rear engaging part is formed on the hook, there is no need for a special structure such as a spring to open the shade when the glass roof is opened, and the structure is simple. There is also the effect that the room can be used more widely without being restricted.
