Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial field of application> This invention relates to a sun visor with an auxiliary visor attached to obtain a sufficient light-shielding area.In particular, it is concerned with a sun visor with an auxiliary visor attached to it in order to obtain a sufficient light-shielding area. Regarding a sun visor with an auxiliary visor.

<Prior Art> As is well known, when a sun visor is stored, it is desirable to store it in close contact with the ceiling surface, but the sides of the ceiling are usually formed into a curved shape. In particular, in vehicle models equipped with passive seat belts, the roof side trims, front pillar trims, etc. bulge toward the interior of the vehicle, causing interference between the sun visor and the vehicle body.

In order to prevent this interference, various types of sun visors with auxiliary visors have been proposed in the past, and typical ones are illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7.

This type of sun visor with an auxiliary visor has a sun visor body 1 rotatably supported by a shaft.
and an auxiliary visor 2 housed inside the sun visor body 1, and is spring-biased outward by a spring means (not shown) so that the auxiliary visor 2 protrudes from the side edge opening 3 of the sun visor body 1. The auxiliary visor 2 is also provided with a locking mechanism that securely locks the auxiliary visor 2 in a state housed within the sun visor body 1.

FIG. 6 is a drawing showing the stored state of the sun visor, and the auxiliary visor 2 is securely stored inside the sun visor main body 1 and compactly stored on the ceiling. Further, FIG. 7 shows the state in which the sun visor is used. At this time, the auxiliary visor 2 protrudes from the sun visor main body 1, and the total area of both becomes a light-shielding area, so that a sufficient light-shielding function is obtained.

In this way, a sufficient light-shielding area is obtained when the sun visor is in use, and the sun visor is made compact when it is retracted, thereby preventing interference with the vehicle body when the sun visor body 1 is rotated. It is configured.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> However, in conventional sun visors with auxiliary visors, when storing the sun visor body on the ceiling surface, it is necessary to store the auxiliary visor 2 inside the sun visor body 1 and lock it in advance. can be,
On the other hand, when using the sun visor, it is necessary to project the auxiliary visor 2 from the sun visor body 1 each time, and the operation of storing and protruding this kind of auxiliary visor 2 is extremely troublesome, and has the drawback of poor operability. It was hot.

Furthermore, if the sun visor body 1 is accidentally stored on the ceiling with the auxiliary visor 2 protruding, there is a problem that the auxiliary visor 2 and the vehicle body side will interfere and the auxiliary visor 2 will be damaged. There is also a market demand for a reliable storage operation of the auxiliary visor 2.

This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and the purpose of this invention is to protrude the auxiliary visor from the sun visor body to obtain a sufficient light-shielding area when the sun visor is in use, and to is stored inside the sun visor body,
In a sun visor with an auxiliary visor that reliably avoids interference with the vehicle body, the auxiliary visor has good operability, and by ensuring the reliability of this operation, damage to parts is prevented. An object of the present invention is to provide a sun visor with an auxiliary visor.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a sun visor body that is rotatably supported on the vehicle body side, and a sun visor body that is housed inside the sun visor body and attached to the side edge of the sun visor body. In a sun visor with an auxiliary visor consisting of an auxiliary visor that is spring-biased so as to always protrude outward through an opened opening, the opening edge side of the sun visor body and the side wall surface on the vehicle body side at any angular position of the sun visor. The distance from
The amount of protrusion is less than the maximum amount of protrusion of the auxiliary visor, and the above-mentioned distance is set to be small when the sun visor is stored and large when the sun visor is in use. The auxiliary visor is characterized in that the protruding end of the auxiliary visor is slid along the side wall surface of the vehicle body so as to be protruded from or accommodated in the interior.

<<Operation>> As is clear from the above configuration, in the sun visor with an auxiliary visor according to the present invention, the protruding end of the auxiliary visor, which is always biased by a spring so as to protrude outward from the sun visor body, has the following effects: It is in sliding contact with the side wall surface on the vehicle body side, and the distance between the opening edge of the sun visor body and the side wall surface on the vehicle body side is small when the sun visor is retracted, and conversely increases when the sun visor is in use. is set, so when the sun visor body is rotated,
The amount of protrusion of the auxiliary visor, which is biased outward by a spring, is variable.

That is, when the sun visor body is retracted, the auxiliary visor is housed inside the sun visor body, and conversely, when the sun visor is in use, most of the auxiliary visor is exposed to the outside.

Therefore, in conjunction with the rotational operation of the sun visor body, it is possible to automatically project the auxiliary visor from inside the sun visor body or to store it inside the body, which greatly improves the operability of the auxiliary visor. In addition, damage to the auxiliary visor can be prevented since the sun visor body is not retracted with the auxiliary visor protruding.

<Description of Embodiments> Hereinafter, embodiments of the sun visor with an auxiliary visor according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figures 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 is a front view of a sun visor with an auxiliary visor with the auxiliary visor protruded, and Figure 2 is a front view of the sun visor with the auxiliary visor retracted. FIG. 3 is a partially cutaway top view of the sun visor with the auxiliary visor viewed from the ceiling, showing the sun visor with the auxiliary visor in a state where the auxiliary visor is attached.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, the sun visor 10 with an auxiliary visor according to the present invention has a sun visor main body 11
and an auxiliary visor 12 housed inside the sun visor main body 11.Furthermore, the sun visor main body 11 has a bearing holder (not shown) installed inside, and one end of the L-shaped shaft 13 is installed inside this holder. is rotatably inserted through the shaft 13, and the other end of the shaft 13 is rotatably inserted into a bracket 14 fixed to the vehicle body side.

Therefore, the sun visor body 11 is attached to the shaft 13.
Since the shaft 13 is freely rotatable around the axis within the bracket 14, the sun visor body 11 is configured to be rotatable in the vertical and horizontal directions.

The sun visor main body 11 has a structure in which the outer surface of a resin core material 15 is covered with a skin material 16,
Similarly, in the auxiliary visor 12, the resin core material 1
The outer surface of 7 is covered with a skin material 18. Both resin core materials 15 and 17 are formed by joining half-split molded bodies together.

Furthermore, a sun visor main body 11 and an auxiliary visor 12
An opening 19 is formed on one side edge of the sun visor body 11, and the auxiliary visor 1 accommodated in the storage space 20 within the sun visor body 11.
2 is configured to protrude outward through this opening 19, and in this example, the auxiliary visor 12 is spring-biased by the spring force of the leaf spring 21 so as to protrude outward.

In particular, the present invention is characterized in that the amount of protrusion of the auxiliary visor 12 is variable depending on the rotational position of the sun visor body 11. That is, the distance between the opening 19 of the sun visor main body 11 and the surface of the roof side trim 22 forming the side wall surface on the vehicle body side is less than or equal to the maximum protrusion amount of the auxiliary visor 12, and this distance is less than the maximum protrusion amount when the sun visor is used as shown in FIG. The distance between the two is set so that it is relatively large as l ₁ at times, and relatively small as l ₂ when the sun visor body 11 is retracted as shown in FIG.

Therefore, in conjunction with the rotational operation of the sun visor body 11, the auxiliary visor 12 automatically performs the protruding or retracting operation.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram for rotating the sun visor body 11.
In the usage state shown in the figure, the auxiliary visor 12 is in a protruding state, and in the retracted state shown by b in the figure, that is, in the position shown in FIG. The figure shows a state in which the auxiliary visor 12 is mostly housed inside the sun visor body 11. Note that the hatched portion in FIG. 3 indicates a portion where the roof side trim 22 and the auxiliary visor 12 come into sliding contact and a reaction force is applied to the auxiliary visor 12.

Next, FIGS. 4 and 5 show a second embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment is characterized in that a rotating roller 23 is attached to the auxiliary visor 12. That is,
In the above embodiment, the auxiliary visor 12 and the roof side trim 22 are in direct contact with each other, and the auxiliary visor 12 slides on the surface of the roof side trim 22. However, in this example, the rotating operation of the rotating roller 23 prevents the auxiliary visor 12 from being worn out, and further smoother operability can be expected.

Although the roof side 22 is used as the vehicle body side wall in the first and second embodiments, it may be replaced with a front pillar trim depending on the specifications.

<<Effects>> As explained above, the sun visor with an auxiliary visor according to the present invention automatically protrudes or retracts the auxiliary visor from inside the sun visor body in conjunction with the rotational operation of the sun visor body. As a result, the operability of the auxiliary visor is significantly improved, and damage to the auxiliary visor can be prevented since it is not possible to accidentally retract the sun visor body with the auxiliary visor protruding. , it also has effects such as being excellent in terms of component protection.
