Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) This invention relates to a sunshade device for a sunroof for an automobile, and more particularly to a curtain structure of this device.

(Prior Art) Usually, a window opening is formed in the body of an automobile, and a window glass is provided to cover the window opening. In this configuration, in order to adjust the amount of sunlight passing through the window opening, there is a curtain that can be freely opened and closed on the side of the window glass facing the passenger compartment (for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-41813). .

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) For example, when the window openings are closed during rainy weather, water vapor in the vehicle interior may condense on the surface of the window glass facing the vehicle interior due to an increase in the humidity in the vehicle interior. If water droplets generated by this condensation fall from the window glass onto the curtain, there is a risk that the water droplets will flow down the curtain toward the passenger. This results in a feeling of pleasure.

(Purpose of the invention) This invention was made with attention to the above-mentioned circumstances, so that when water droplets fall from the window glass onto the top surface of the curtain, the water droplets may cause discomfort to the occupants. The purpose is to prevent this with a simple configuration.

(Structure of the invention) The feature of this invention for achieving the above object is that the sheet for attaching the reinforcing material to the upper surface of the curtain body is made of a water-absorbing material.

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

In the figure, 1 is a car body, and this car body 1
A front window 2 is formed at the front of the vehicle, a front door 3 and a rear door 4 are provided on the side surfaces of the vehicle body 1, and a vehicle interior 5 is formed within the vehicle body 1. Also, 6 is a roof, and this roof 6 is the vehicle body 1.
An outer panel 6a forming an upper surface, and an inner panel 6b joined to the inside of this outer panel 6a.
It consists of

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 21 is provided in a space sandwiched between the roof 6 and the molded ceiling 7. This curtain 21 has a curtain body 22 formed in a thin film shape from a resin such as vinyl chloride. The inner end of the curtain main body 22 in the vehicle width direction is connected to a retractor 23, and the outer end of the curtain main body 22 in the vehicle width direction can freely move in and out toward the opening edge on the outer end side of the window opening 14 in the vehicle width direction. It is considered possible. This retractor 2
3 is installed inside and supported by a retractor case 25 supported by the inner panel 6b, and the curtain main body 22 can be wound around this retractor 23 by elastic force.

A sliding rod 24 extending along this edge is attached to the outer end of the curtain body 22, and a guide rail 26 is provided to guide the sliding rod 24 in the vehicle width direction. A handle 28 is attached to the extending end of the curtain body 22.

When the handle 28 is moved inward in the vehicle width direction with the retractor 23 winding up the curtain body 22, the window opening 14 and the ceiling opening 15 are opened and the amount of daylight increases (double-dashed line in FIG. 3). (Illustrated).
When the curtain body 22 fully opens the window opening 14, the handle 28 comes into contact with the opening trim 17, thereby preventing the retractor 23 from further winding up the curtain body 22. That is, this handle 28 also functions as a stopper.

On the other hand, by operating the handle 28, the retractor 23
When the curtain body 22 is let out and moved outward in the vehicle width direction while resisting the elastic force of the curtain body 22, the window opening 14 and the ceiling opening 15 are closed and the amount of daylight is reduced (as shown by the solid line in the figure).

A plurality of reinforcing wires 31 extending in the width direction of the curtain body 22 and having a circular cross-sectional shape are provided on the upper surface of the curtain body 22 so as to prevent the curtain body 22 from bending downward, and An attachment sheet 32 is provided to cover each reinforcing wire 31 and attach it to the curtain body 22. This attachment sheet 32 is made of a water-absorbent material made of woven fabric, knitted fabric, etc., and each edge of the attachment sheet 32 is welded to the curtain body 22, so that the reinforcing wire 31 is attached to the curtain body 22. It is being

When the outside air temperature is relatively low and the humidity inside the vehicle interior 5 is high, water vapor condenses on the surface of the window glass 18 on the vehicle interior 5 side. Then, water droplets D generated by this condensation
fell from the window glass 18 (see Figures 1 and 3).
Arrow A in the figure) Flows down along the upper surface of the curtain body 22 (arrow B in Figure 1). In this case, this water drop D
Some or all of the curtains reach the edge of the curtain body 22 and try to fall from there into the passenger compartment 5, but
Before that, these are adsorbed by the mounting sheet 32 mentioned above.

Note that the water absorbent mounting sheet 32 may be formed of a nonwoven fabric. In addition, the above mounting sheet 32
may be attached to the curtain body 22 by stitching.

Moreover, although the sunshade device 20 provided in the rear sunroof 12 has been described above, this 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 extending end of the curtain can move in and out in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body.

FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment.

In this configuration, the water-absorbent mounting sheet 32 is provided so as to cover almost the entire upper surface of the curtain body 22. Therefore, water droplets D falling from the window glass 18 onto the curtain body 22 are more effectively adsorbed.

The other configurations are the same as those of the previous embodiment.

FIG. 6 shows a comparative example for this invention. In the figure, the reinforcing wire 31 is attached to the curtain body 22 with an attachment sheet 33 made of the same material as the curtain body 22. A water-absorbing sheet material 34 is inserted between the curtain body 22 and the upper edge side of the attachment sheet 33, and these three members are overlapped and welded. This water-absorbing sheet material 34 absorbs water droplets flowing down on the curtain body 22.

In the above case, since the mounting sheet 33 is made of the same material as the curtain body 22, it is possible to suppress the appearance of discomfort between the two, and thus the appearance of the sunshade device 20 through the window glass 18 is suppressed. Able to maintain good appearance.

(Effects of the invention) According to this invention, an installation sheet for attaching the reinforcing material is provided on the top surface of the curtain body, and this installation sheet is made of a water-absorbing material, which increases the humidity in the vehicle interior. When water vapor condenses on the surface of the window glass facing the passenger compartment and forms water droplets and falls on the upper surface of the curtain, these water droplets are adsorbed by the mounting sheet. Therefore, the water droplets are prevented from flowing down on the curtain and causing discomfort to the occupants.

Furthermore, in this case, the water droplets are absorbed using a mounting sheet for attaching a reinforcing material to the top surface of the curtain body, so the above means for preventing problems caused by water droplets is simple in structure. be.
