Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a canvas stop for a vehicle in which an opening formed in the roof of the vehicle body is opened and closed by a flexible canvas.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in vehicles such as automobiles, an opening 102 is provided in the roof of a vehicle body 101, as shown in FIG.
A canvas stop is known in which the opening 102 is covered with a flexible canvas 103 so as to be openable and closable. (For example, see Utility Model Application Publication No. 61-78020).

The canvas stop of such a vehicle has a structure as shown in FIGS. 4 to 8, for example. That is, an opening 102 formed in the roof of the vehicle body 101 is opened and closed by a flexible canvas 103. The canvas 10
A hard plate-like member 104 is provided at the front edge of 3 (see FIG. 7), and the rear edge is connected to a frame 105. The plate member 104 is located at the front of the roof when the opening 102 is closed, and when the opening 102 is opened, the plate member 104 is guided by guide rails 106 disposed on both sides of the opening 102 and extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, and moves rearward to the canvas. 103 can be folded up and placed at the rear of the roof.

The guide rail 106 is supported by a frame 105, and on the underside of the frame 105 are a top ceiling 107, a rear reinforcement 108, and a side reinforcement 10.
9. Corner reinforcements 110, front reinforcements 111, and seal packings 112 are each provided with an inner seal packing 113 attached above them.

Further, a rail cover 114 and a set plate 115 are provided on the guide rail 106, and the drive unit 116 moves the front guide assembly 117 fixed to the plate member 104 by the drive wire by the operation of a motor (not shown). 118
The flexible canvas 103 is folded and expanded by moving the plate member 104 forward and backward. Note that the flexible canvas 103 is a leather top assembly 103.
a and a sealing leather assembly 103b below it.

The flexible canvas 103 is supported by a canvas frame 119 to provide tension in the left and right direction and to make it foldable. This canvas frame 119 includes, in addition to the plate member 104,
A plurality of first transverse rib members 120 which extend in the canvas width direction and have guide shoes 124 at both end portions slidably engaged with the guide rails 106; A plurality of movable second horizontal bone members 121 are provided, and both the members 120 and 121 and the plate-like member 104 and the second horizontal bone member 121 are connected by an intermediate link 122 and a coil spring 123. 125 is a stopper of the guide shoe 124.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the above structure, since the intermediate link 122 is linear, when the flexible canvas 103 is opened, the intermediate link 122
However, the flexible canvas 103 comes into contact with the curved portion of the folded flexible canvas 103, restricts the retreat of the flexible canvas 103, and prevents the flexible canvas from being folded thinly, ensuring a wide opening area of the opening 102. This is disadvantageous.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to provide a canvas stop for a vehicle that can secure a large opening in the roof of the vehicle body when the flexible canvas is opened.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, the intermediate portion of the intermediate link is curved. That is, when the flexible canvas is opened, the intermediate portion of the intermediate link that comes into contact with the flexible canvas is curved to follow the curved shape of the folded flexible canvas.

(Function) Since the intermediate portion of the intermediate link is curved, when the flexible canvas is opened, the intermediate link can be moved backward until the curved shape of the intermediate link matches the curved shape of the flexible canvas. The flexible canvas can be folded thinly, and the flexible canvas can be moved back greatly, increasing the opening area of the opening.

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

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first horizontal frame member 12 is slidably supported on the guide rail 106.
0 and a second transverse bone member 121 that is vertically movable at its rear position.
a is curved. The curve of this intermediate portion 1a is such that it projects forward.

The curved shape of the intermediate portion of the intermediate link 1 is formed to correspond to the curved shape of the flexible canvas 103 folded when the flexible canvas 103 is opened. It is now possible to retreat further backwards.
In other words, one intermediate link can be moved back by ΔL more than in the case of a straight line shape (see Fig. 2).

With the above configuration, the flexible canvas 1
03, as the plate-like member 104 retreats, the second horizontal rib member 121 is lifted up from the first horizontal rib member 120 via the intermediate link 1, and the flexible canvas 103 is folded. At this time, the intermediate link 1
is retreated, and the amount of retreat of the plate-like member 104, the first horizontal bone member 120, etc. becomes large, and the flexible canvas 103
The flexible canvas 1 can be folded thinly.
The area of the opening 102 covered by the opening 102 becomes smaller than that of the conventional one, and the opening area becomes larger.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, in the present invention, since the intermediate portion of the intermediate link is curved, the amount of retraction of the intermediate link is increased, and the flexible canvas can be folded thinly. The opening area of the opening when the sexual canvas is opened can be expanded.
