Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automobile sun visor, and more particularly to an automobile sun visor in which a shaft, which is an attachment part of the sun visor body, is covered by the sun visor body, thereby improving interior aesthetics and safety.

0002

[Prior Art] Normally, a sun visor is installed above the front window for the purpose of shielding the sun's rays and ensuring the driver's visibility while driving. As shown in FIG. 1, a sun visor of a type that covers a shaft 2 with a sun visor main body 1 when the sun visor is in the retracted state has been put into practical use.

This type of sun visor has a hard shaft 2.
Since the shaft 2 and the sun visor body 1 are covered with cushioning properties, the shaft 2 and the sun visor body 1 have the advantage of being highly safe, creating a sense of unity between the ceiling surface and the sun visor body 1, and improving the aesthetic appearance. In order to avoid interference between the sun visor body 1 and the sun visor body 1, the pad material for the shaft insertion portion is usually eliminated (see FIG. 4).

However, as shown in FIG. 5, when the sun visor body 1 is in use, positioned almost parallel to the front window, the skin of the part A where the pad material is removed lacks tension, causing wrinkles and sagging. However, it has been pointed out that there is a problem in that the appearance of the sun visor deteriorates when it is used.

[0005]Recently, therefore, an improvement plan shown in FIG. 6 has been proposed as a structure for preventing wrinkles and sagging of the epidermis in this area.

In this case, a flat resin plate 5 is fixed to a wire frame 3 and a reinforcing plate 4, and the resin plate 5 is fixed to a wire frame 3 and a reinforcing plate 4.
By pasting the skin material 6 on the outer surface of the sun visor body 1, a concave shape is formed to accommodate the shaft 2 in the shaft insertion portion of the sun visor body 1. Note that the reference numeral 7 in the figure is a support member that bears the shaft 2.

[0007]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the case of a sun visor in which the resin plate 5 is installed, the work of fixing the resin plate 5 to the wire frame 3 or the reinforcing plate 4 is extremely troublesome and reduces work efficiency. In addition to being a major factor, there is also the problem that it is difficult to position the resin plate 5 at the proper position, resulting in frequent occurrence of defective products due to misalignment of the resin plate 5, leading to lower product yields and increased costs. pointed out at the same time.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive sun visor for an automobile of a type in which the shaft is covered by the sun visor body when the sun visor is retracted. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automobile sun visor that can be manufactured in a number of ways.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, a sun visor for an automobile according to the present invention has a core made of a wire frame bent into a loop shape and a reinforcing plate installed on the inner peripheral edge of the wire frame. A support member that is fixed to the core material, a bearing part that supports the rotating shaft, and a cover part that covers the shaft when the sun visor is retracted, and a support member that is trimmed along the outer shape of the product and that are attached to the core material. consisting of a pad material that is laminated on the front and back sides of the support member and has a notch formed at a portion corresponding to the cover portion of the support member, and a skin material that covers the outer surface of the pad material and the cover portion of the support member. It is characterized by

0010

[Function] As is clear from the above configuration, when the sun visor is retracted, the cover part that covers the shaft is integrally provided with the support member, so it can be easily attached to the sun visor body, and the position of the cover part can be prevented from shifting. It never occurs.

[0011]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of an automobile sun visor according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway front view of a sun visor housed in a ceiling surface, seen from the indoor side, and FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway front view seen from the opposite side to FIG.

1 and 2, a sun visor 10 for an automobile according to the present invention includes a wire frame 11 bent into a loop shape, and a reinforcing plate 12 made of cardboard or the like installed along the inner periphery of the wire frame 11. and a pad material 14 having cushioning properties such as polyurethane foam, which is laminated on the front and back sides of the core material 13.
, a skin material 15 made of a PVC sheet, cloth, etc. that covers the outer surface of the pad material 14 , and a support member 16 fixed to the wire frame 11 .

More specifically, the support member 16 is made of an injection molded synthetic resin, and has a rotating shaft 17.
A bearing part 18 that rotatably supports the sun visor and a cover part 19 that covers the rotating shaft 17 when the sun visor is stored are integrally formed.

The support member 16 is preferably made of, for example, polyacetal resin, which has excellent adhesiveness and good mechanical properties.

The support member 16 is fixed by fitting the end of the wire frame 11 into the mounting hole 20 of the support member 16, and is inserted into the accommodation groove 21 formed in the cover portion 19 of the support member 16. The wire frame 11 is held and the support member 16 is securely fixed to the wire frame 11.

Note that the pad material 14 is trimmed in advance into a product shape, and is set in a shape with the cover portion 19 of the support member 16 removed, and the outer skin material 15 covering the outer periphery is formed by removing the cover portion 19 of the support member 16. It will be directly attached to the surface, and a space will be formed to accommodate the rotating shaft 17.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the cover part 19 covering the rotating shaft 17 is formed integrally with the support member 16, it can be easily attached to the core member 13, and the support member 16, and there is an advantage that a sun visor of desired quality can be easily manufactured at a low cost.

Furthermore, since the support member 16 is an injection molded product of synthetic resin, it can be set to any shape, so if the cover portion 19 is molded into a curved shape, the appearance design can be improved.

[0020]

As explained above, the automobile sun visor according to the present invention has the following special effects.

(1) According to the present invention, since the cover portion that covers the shaft is formed integrally with the support member that bears the shaft, the cover portion can be attached to the sun visor body by simply attaching the support member to the core material. It can be installed easily and reliably, and has the effect of significantly improving workability compared to conventional installation work.

(2) According to the present invention, since the cover portion that covers the shaft is formed integrally with the support member, there is no misalignment of the cover member as in the conventional case, and the product yield is greatly improved. This has the effect of bringing about significant cost reduction.

(3) According to the present invention, since the cover portion that covers the shaft is integrally made of a synthetic resin injection molded body with the support member, it can be set to any curved shape, thereby improving the appearance design. It has this effect.
