Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) This invention relates to an improvement of a sun visor for a vehicle, and more specifically, to a sun visor with an auxiliary visor whose vertical width can be expanded as appropriate.

(Prior Art) Conventional sun visors for vehicles, such as the sun visor shown in FIG. 5, have generally had a main body 31 of an integral structure, so that the vertical width is constant.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) As mentioned above, conventional sun visors have a vertical width of the main body 1 that takes into account the standard sitting height of a person, and the conditions of sunlight shining through the sun, taking into account the average conditions during the day. Since the height is kept almost constant, there was a problem in that it was not able to sufficiently block light for people who were sitting at a low height or from the setting sun.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention configures a sun visor for a vehicle as follows. That is, a sun visor main body part with a wire around its periphery is provided with a storage part that opens at the bottom, and an auxiliary visor that expands the vertical width of the sun visor main body part is stored in the storage part so as to be retractable downward. The auxiliary visor has a substantially U-shaped vertical cross section and is open on both the upper and left sides, and the lower side of the wire passing through the storage portion is inserted so as to be relatively movable in the vertical direction. A hollow part is provided, and a plurality of locking protrusions are provided in the vertical direction on both opposing inner surfaces of the hollow part, the locking protrusions projecting inward and capable of being locked to the lower side of the wire. do.

(Function) The sun visor with the auxiliary visor housed is used in the same manner as a conventional sun visor. When using a sun visor, an auxiliary visor is protruded if there is insufficient light shielding. The auxiliary visor can be stored in the sun visor when not needed. In addition, the hollow part of the auxiliary visor is provided with multiple locking protrusions that can be locked to the lower side of the wire passing through the storage part of the sun visor main body, so the rigidity of the sun visor main body is maintained. The auxiliary visor can be made to protrude by a desired width.

(Example 1) Example 1 of this invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

FIG. 1 shows the sun visor of this example, which has a structure in which an auxiliary visor 2 is housed inside a sun visor main body 1. As shown in FIG. The sun visor main body 1 has a wire 3 around the periphery of a cushion material 10 such as foamed polyurethane so as to maintain a predetermined shape, and is covered with a skin material 7 such as a synthetic resin sheet. A bearing 4 is provided on one side of the wire on the upper edge of the sun visor, and a stay 11 that rotatably supports the main body 1 of the sun visor is attached to the bearing. 4A is a bearing section provided on the other side of the upper wire. The sun visor main body part 1 is formed with a recessed storage part 23 for storing the auxiliary visor 2. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the main body 1 is provided with a storage section that opens on the lower side when in use, and the four sides of the storage section are covered with a skin material 7 through reinforcing plates 8. ing. A cushion material 9 is arranged at the back of the storage section 23 to adjust the width of the storage section. The storage section 23 is provided in a rectangular shape with the wide portion of the main body as the main body. The wire 3 is exposed near the opening of the storage section 23 along the lower side of the main body section 1 . The auxiliary visor 2 has a rectangular outer shape,
A hollow part 6 is formed which has a U-shaped longitudinal section and is open at the upper and left and right ends.

The interval between the hollow parts 6 corresponds to the diameter of the wire 3, and locking protrusions 15 protruding inward are formed at regular intervals in parallel on the left and right on the opposing surfaces of the hollow parts, and each pair of opposing locking protrusions 15 15 functions to lock the auxiliary visor 2 to the wire 3. The auxiliary visor 2 is inserted into the opening of the main body 1 from the opening side at the upper end of the auxiliary visor 2, as shown in FIG.

That is, the auxiliary visor 2 is fixed to the wire 3 inserted through the hollow part 6 in a locked state by one of a pair of opposing locking protrusions 15 in the hollow part. The auxiliary visor 2 is formed in a U-shape, and the front and rear surfaces have a kind of spring action, so that the wire 3 can freely pass through the small gap between the pair of locking protrusions, and the main body 1 On the other hand, auxiliary visor 2
is made to be able to slide in and out. Auxiliary visor 2 is
Normally, it is sufficiently stored in the storage section of the main body 1 and is not visible from the outside (see FIGS. 1 and 2). Note that 19 is a knob for the auxiliary visor provided on the main body, and is used when pulling out the stored auxiliary visor.

The sun visor configured as described above has a wire 3 around the periphery of the sun visor main body 1, like a conventional sun visor (without an auxiliary visor), and basically consists of only one part (the auxiliary visor It has a lightweight and simple configuration with only the addition of 2).

The sun visor of this example is attached to the ceiling near the windshield in the interior of an automobile, and is normally used as a conventional sun visor. However, if the sun visor covering the upper part of the windshield still does not block enough light, the sun visor main body 1
By pinching and pulling out the auxiliary visor 2 from the knob, the auxiliary visor portion of a necessary predetermined length protrudes downward (see FIGS. 3 and 4), and provides sufficient light shielding. In addition, the auxiliary visor 2 pulled out
is easily stored in the main body by pushing it back upwards.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, according to this invention, the auxiliary visor for expanding the vertical width of the entire sun visor is protrusively provided on the sun visor main body, so that the auxiliary visor can be pulled out as needed. Therefore, when a person with a low sitting height is driving a vehicle, or when driving with the setting sun shining into the driver's seat, the light blocking effect allows the driver to drive under much better conditions. , which is very advantageous in terms of safety. Moreover, since the auxiliary visor is slidably retractable inside the sun visor main body, it is easy to use the auxiliary visor.
