Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an illuminated sun visor for automobiles.

(Prior Art) Generally, a sun visor is supported by a stay attached to the ceiling of a vehicle body so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction.
Sun visors are used to block light rays entering from a front window, etc., but conventional sun visors have been equipped with mirrors and illumination lamps and used as makeup mirrors, auxiliary rear mirrors, or spotlights.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in this type of illuminated sun visor, the stay is attached to the ceiling of the car body via a stay adapter made of synthetic resin such as polypropylene, so the two illumination lamps Even if one of the conductive wires is grounded and connected to the stay, there is no continuity with the vehicle body, so there is a problem in that both of these two conductive wires must be led out to the vehicle body side for wiring.

The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an illuminated sun visor for an automobile that can be used as a ground for an illumination lamp by connecting the stay of the sun visor body to the vehicle body side.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has one end of an L-shaped stay made of a conductive material rotatably fitted into the upper edge of the sun visor body. A sun visor for an illuminated automobile whose other end is rotatably fitted into a fitting hole in the shaft of a stay adapter fixed to the vehicle body includes a C-shaped fitting piece and an extension extending from the outer edge of the fitting piece. The engagement piece of the spring nut, which is made of a conductive material and consists of a tongue piece and a contact piece whose tip is bent in an L-shape and stands upright from the inner edge of the engagement piece, is engaged with the shaft of the stay adapter. At the same time, the tip of the contact piece is spring-biased and brought into contact with the stay protruding from the fitting hole of the stay adapter, and the tongue piece is interposed between the vehicle body and the stay adapter, and the stay adapter is attached to the pin with the tongue piece. It is fixed to the vehicle body with screws, and the stay and the vehicle body are electrically connected via spring nuts and tatsu pin screws.The negative conductor of the lighting lamp is connected to the stay inside the sun visor body, and the positive conductor is connected to the stay inside the sun visor body. It is inserted into a through hole drilled from the bending part of the stay to the tip, and wired to the power supply device on the vehicle body side.

(Example) Next, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1, a sun visor body 1 has one end of an L-shaped stay 2 made of a conductive member rotatably fitted into its upper edge, and a sun visor body 1 (see FIG.
A mirror and illumination lamp (not shown) are attached to the upper side of the paper. Of the two conductor wires of the lighting lamp, the negative conductor wire is appropriately connected to the stay 2 inside the sun visor body 1, and the positive conductor wire 3 is led out from near the insertion part of the stay 2, and the stay 2 is folded. It is inserted into a through hole 4 drilled at the other end of the curved portion, led out from the other end of the stay 2, and wired to a power supply device on the vehicle body side.

The stay adapter 5 is made of synthetic resin, and has a base 8 with mounting holes 7, 7 for pin screws 6, 6 drilled at both ends, and a fitting hole 9 drilled in the center of the base 8 in the axial direction. It consists of a shaft portion 10 having a hole therein.
The fitting hole 9 of the shaft portion 10 is provided with the sun visor body 1.
The stay 2 is attached so that it can rotate and be prevented from coming off.

The spring nut 11 is made of a conductive material having spring properties, and includes a C-shaped engagement piece 12 that engages with the shaft portion 10 of the stay adapter 5, and a tongue piece extending from the outer edge of the engagement piece 12. 13 and the engaging piece 12
The contact piece 14 stands upright from the inner edge of the engagement piece 12 and has a tip bent into an L-shape toward the center of the engagement piece 12. In addition, the tongue piece 13 has two parts on the inner edge.
A screw hole 16 having protrusions 15, 15 at certain locations is provided, and when the tuft pin screw 6 is screwed into the screw hole 16, the protrusions 15, 15 engage with the threads, and the tatu pin screw 6 is held without falling off. It is becoming more and more common.

To attach the automotive sun visor with the above configuration to the vehicle body, after assembling the sun visor body 1, stay 2, and stay adapter 5,
As shown in FIG. 2, the engaging piece 12 of the spring nut 11 is engaged with the shaft portion 10 of the stay adapter 5, and the contact piece 14 is bent so that its tip protrudes from the fitting hole 9 of the shaft portion 10. The stay 2 is brought into contact with the stay 2, and the spring nut 11 is fixed by screwing the tatu pin screw 6 through the mounting hole 7 of the stay adapter 5.

After connecting the conductive wire 3 led out from one end of the stay 2 to the conductor wire wired to the power supply device in the vehicle body 17, the shaft portion 10 of the stay adapter 5 is inserted into the mounting hole 18 provided in the vehicle body 17, and the screw 6,
6 to attach it to the vehicle body 17.

Therefore, the stay 2 is electrically connected to the vehicle body 17 via the spring nut 11 and the tassel pin screw 6, and the negative conductor of the lighting lamp connected to the stay 2 is grounded to the vehicle body 17.

Therefore, only one conductor of the lighting lamp needs to be led out from the sun visor body 1, the through hole 4 of the stay 2 can be made small, and the work of inserting the conductor into the through hole 4 is easy. Wiring with the side is also easy. In addition, two tatu pin screws 6
One of them can be already screwed into the stay adapter 5 and the spring nut 11 and held in place before the sun visor body 1 is attached to the vehicle body 17, so that assembly to the vehicle body 17 is quick and easy. becomes.

(Effect of the invention) As is clear from the above explanation, according to the invention, the stay and the vehicle body are electrically connected through the spring nut and the tatsu pin screw, and the negative conductor of the lighting lamp is grounded to the stay inside the sun visor body. Since only one conductor is led out from the sun visor body, the wiring and installation work to the vehicle body can be done quickly and easily.
