Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) This invention relates to a curtain-type sunshade device for an automobile sunroof.

(Prior technology) The sunshade device for automobiles was developed in 1972.
There is one as shown in Publication No. 41813.

According to the above configuration, a window opening is formed in the vehicle body,
A light-blocking curtain is provided to adjust the amount of light that passes through the window opening. A retractor that urges the curtain to be rolled up from one end thereof is attached to the roof side near the upper opening edge of the window opening. The other moving end of the curtain is movable in and out from the upper opening edge of the window opening toward the opposite lower opening edge, thereby opening and closing the window opening. When the window opening is fully opened by moving the curtain, the moving end of the curtain is elastically pressed against the upper end of the guide rail by the biasing force of the retractor. It is held in a position where the opening is fully opened.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) By the way, in the above conventional configuration, when the curtain fully opens the window opening, the moving end of the curtain is simply held by being elastically pressed against the upper end of the guide rail. Therefore, there is a risk that the moving end of the curtain may wobble due to vibrations when the automobile is running.

(Purpose of the invention) This invention was made with attention to the above-mentioned circumstances, and the purpose is to prevent rattling at the moving end of the curtain when the window opening is fully opened. shall be.

(Structure of the device) The feature of this device to achieve the above object is that an engaging protrusion is provided on either the roof side or the movable end side of the curtain, and the movement of the curtain causes the window to open on the other side. The present invention is characterized in that an engagement recess is provided which detachably engages with the engagement protrusion in a wedge-like manner when the opening is fully opened.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a car body. A front window 2 is formed in the front part of the car body 1, a front door 3 and a rear door 4 are provided on the sides of the car body 1, and a passenger compartment 5 is formed in the car body 1. ing. Also, 6
is a roof, and this roof 6 is composed of an outer panel 6a forming the upper surface of the vehicle body 1, and an inner panel 6b joined to the inside of this outer panel 6a.

A molded ceiling 7 made of resin is provided as a ceiling member that covers the lower surface of the roof 6, and this molded ceiling 7 is attached to the inner panel 6b of the roof 6 with a bracket 9.

The roof 6 is provided with a front sunroof 11 and a pair of left and right rear sunroofs 12, 12.

To explain the above rear sunroof 12,
A window opening 14 is formed in the side of the roof 6, and a ceiling opening 15 is formed in the molded ceiling 7 to correspond to this. An elastic weather strip 16 such as rubber is provided on the opening edge of the window opening 14.
Further, an opening trim 17 made of elastic material such as rubber is also provided at the edge of the ceiling opening 15. A window glass 18 that closes the window opening 14 by pressing against the weather strip 16 is provided.
is provided.

Further, in the above configuration, a sunshade device 20 is provided for adjusting the amount of daylight passing through the window opening 14 and the ceiling opening 15. This sunshade device 20 will be explained below.

A light-shielding curtain 22 is provided in the space sandwiched between the roof 6 and the molded ceiling 7. The inner end of the curtain 22 in the vehicle width direction is connected to a retractor 23, and the outer end of the curtain 22 in the vehicle width direction can move forward and backward toward the opening edge of the outer edge of the window opening 14 in the vehicle width direction. be done. This retractor 23 is installed inside and supported by a retractor case 25 supported by the inner panel 6b of the roof 6, and the curtain 22 can be wound around this retractor 23 with elastic force.

A sliding rod 24 is attached to the outer end of the curtain 22 and extends along this edge.
A guide rail 26 is provided to guide the vehicle 4 in the vehicle width direction. This guide rail 26 is formed between the weather strip 16 and the opening trim 17 at the front and rear opening edges of the window opening 14 and ceiling opening 15, and both ends of the sliding rod 24 are slidably fitted into this guide rail 26. Ru.

A handle 28 made of resin is provided at the extended end of the curtain 22 and extends along the sliding rod 24, and the handle 28 is screwed to the sliding rod 24 with a plurality of bolts 29.

When the handle 28 is operated to extend the curtain 22 and move it outward in the vehicle width direction while resisting the elastic force of the retractor 23, the window opening 14 and the ceiling opening 15 are closed, reducing the amount of daylight. (Illustrated with chain double-dashed line in the figure). Then, the curtain 22 is connected to the window opening 1.
4 and the ceiling opening 15 are fully closed, the curtain 22 is removably locked to the guide rail 26 by a locking means (not shown), and the fully closed state of the window opening 14 is maintained.

On the other hand, when the handle 28 is moved inward in the vehicle width direction with the retractor 23 retracting the curtain 22, the window opening 14 and the ceiling opening 15 are opened and the amount of daylight increases (as shown by the solid line in FIG. 1). .

In the sunshade device 20 configured as described above, an engaging protrusion 30 is integrally provided to protrude from the upper end of the handle 28 in the direction of retreat of the curtain 22 . On the other hand, a locking member 31 is provided corresponding to this engagement protrusion 30. This locking member 31 is screwed to the retractor case 25 attached to the roof 6 side with a plurality of bolts 32. The locking member 31 has a triangular engagement recess 33 when viewed in cross section, and the engagement recess 33 is tapered inward in the vehicle width direction. Then, by operating the handle 28, the moving end of the curtain 22 is moved inward in the vehicle width direction,
When the window opening 14 is fully opened, the engagement protrusion 30 engages with the engagement recess 33 in a wedge-like manner in a detachable manner.

In the above embodiment, the engaging protrusion 30 is provided at the moving end of the curtain 22, and the engaging recess 33 is provided in the retractor case 25, which is the roof 6 side. An engagement recess 33 may be provided on the retractor case 25, and an engagement protrusion 30 may be provided on the retractor case 25.

Further, although the sunshade device 20 provided in the rear sunroof 12 has been described above, the sunshade device 20 is also provided in the front sunroof 11.
A sunshade device having the same configuration as 0 is provided. However, in this device, the movable end of the curtain can move in and out toward the front of the vehicle body.

(Effect of the invention) According to this invention, an engaging protrusion is provided on either the roof side or the moving end side of the curtain, and the engaging protrusion is provided on the other side when the window opening is fully opened by moving the curtain. Since an engaging recess is provided that engages removably in a wedge shape, the moving end of the curtain engages with the roof side when the window opening is fully opened, and the moving end of the curtain when the window opening is fully opened is Securely held on the roof side. Therefore, rattling at the moving end of the curtain is prevented. Also,
The engagement protrusion and the engagement recess are wedge-shaped, so when the movable end of the curtain is moved to fully open the window opening, the engagement protrusion and the engagement recess will automatically close together due to the biasing force of the retractor. The moving end of the curtain is held on the roof side. Therefore, the operation for preventing rattling at the moving end of the curtain can be simplified.
