BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sunshade device used in combination with a sunroof device for a vehicle such as a passenger car.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-149422, a sunshade device for a vehicle such as an automobile has an inner opening opened and closed below a panel of a sunroof which opens and closes an outer opening of the roof. The sunshade is arranged, and this sunshade is divided into a plurality of front and rear parts, and each is guided forward and backward by guide rails via left and right sliding bodies of the same length as the sunshade, and engages with the rear part of the sliding body of the front sunshade. Parts are formed on the front part of the sliding body of the rear sunshade, and the front and rear sunshades can be moved together with the engaged parts and the engaged parts, and the front sunshade is placed on the rear sunshade. It can be stowed up and stored under the roof behind the outer opening in a stacked state.

[0003]

In the conventional sunshade device, the sliding body has the same height and the same thickness as the sunshade, and when the sliding body is polymerized during storage, the front and rear sunshades come into close contact with each other. The frictional resistance at the time is large, and the lower surface of the front sunshade and the upper surface of the rear sunshade may be soiled or scratched.

According to the present invention, when the engaging portion and the guide portion on the front side thereof are formed on the side portion of the front sunshade, and these are projected downward from the front sunshade, when they are mounted on the pushing-down guide portion on the side portion of the rear sunshade. An object of the present invention is to provide a sunshade device capable of solving the above-mentioned problems of the prior art by forming a gap between the front and rear sunshades.

[0005]

As a concrete means for solving the problems in the present invention, a sun shade 5 for opening and closing an inner opening 4 is arranged below a panel 3 for opening and closing an outer opening 2 of a roof 1. The front sunshade 5F is divided into two front and rear parts, and each is guided by a guide rail 6 through left and right sliding bodies 20 and 21 so as to be movable back and forth, and an engaging portion 7 is formed on the left and right rear parts of the front sunshade 5F. Formed on the left and right front portions of the 5R is an engaged portion 8 that is detachably engageable with the engaging portion 7 and moves the rear sunshade 5R together with the front sunshade 5F, and the lower rear portion of the guide rail 6 is formed. In order to push the rear sunshade 5R up from the storage position, the rear sunshade 5R is lowered and the front sunshade 5F and the front sunshade 5R can be stored in a stacked state. A sunshade device provided with biasing means 10 for biasing direction, the front sunshade 5F

When the front sunshade 5F moves rearward when the rear sunshade 5R reaches the storage portion 9, the engagement portion 7 and the guide portion 34 are moved.
And the engaging portion 7 and the guide portion 34 are overlapped with each other to form a gap 35 between the front and rear sunshades 5F and 5R.
That is, it projects downward from F.

[0006]

With the inner opening 4 fully closed, the front and rear sunshades 5F, 5R are guided and supported by one guide groove of the guide rail 6, are on the same plane, and have a large head clearance. When the front sunshade 5F is moved rearward from this fully closed state, the rear sunshade 5R accompanies the rear sunshade 5R because the rear engagement part 7 of the front sunshade 5F engages with the engaged part 8 of the rear sunshade 5R. It is moved to the rear end of the guide rail 6 and stopped.

Thereafter, when the front sunshade 5F is further moved backward, the engaging portion 7 rides on the push-down guide portion 11 and pushes down the rear sunshade 5R downward, and subsequently, the guide on the front side of the engaging portion 7 is reached. The portion 34 also rides on the push-down guide portion 11 and brings the rear sunshade 5R into a substantially horizontal state and pushes it downward. The rear sunshade 5R is provided with a biasing means 10 in the storage portion 9 at the lower rear portion of the guide rail 6.
Against this, the front sunshade 5F is superposed on the front sunshade 5F. The front sunshade 5F
In the front and rear sunshades 5F and 5R, a gap 35 is formed between the engaging portion 7 and the guide portion 34 to prevent sliding contact between the front and rear sunshades 5F and 5R from the start of riding.

Left and right brackets 19 of the rear sunshade 5R
The front and rear sliding bodies 21F and 21R are provided in a laterally protruding shape, and a strip 25 is fixed to the upper part of the side.
The front part is bent and lowered one step, and a hole-shaped engaged part 8 with which the engaging part 7 engages is formed in the front part. A rearwardly rising inclined surface 27 is formed on the rear side of the engaged portion 8 of the strip 25, and the engaging portion 7 and the guide portion 34 ride on and slide from the inclined surface 27 to the rear portion of the strip 25. It is a push-down guide section 11.

Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the front and rear sunshades 5F and 5R are located in one guide groove 22, and the engaging portion 7 and the engaged portion 8 are engaged with each other in the vertical movement preventing state. As a result, the front sunshade 5F moves back and forth along with the rear sunshade 5R. However, when the rear sunshade 5R is no longer supported, the engaging portion 7 relatively slides while pushing down the rear sunshade 5R via the rear rising slope 27, as shown in FIG.
It will be moved on the push-down guide portion 11 up to the rear portion of 9.

At the rear of the guide rail 6, as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, a pair of front and rear cutouts 28, 29 for releasing the support of the rear sunshade 5R are formed, and a stopper 30 for setting the moving rear end of the rear sunshade 5R is provided. The front notch 28 is formed to have a shorter length in the front-rear direction than the rear notch 29, and similarly, the front sliding body 21F of the rear sunshade 5R is also formed to be shorter than the rear sliding body 21R. Notch 28,
When it is opposed to 29, it can be depressed and the rear sliding member 21
Even if the R faces the front notch 28, it does not fall.

Therefore, the rear sliding member 21R has the front notch 28
After passing through, the rear sunshade 5R comes into contact with the stopper 30, and the front and rear sliding bodies 21F and 21R are cut out to form the notch 2
When facing 8 and 29 at the same time, the rear sunshade 5R is no longer supported and the rear sunshade 5R can descend.
A storage portion 9 (including front and rear cutouts 28 and 29) is formed in the lower rear portion of the guide rail 6. This storage 9
A leaf spring as the urging means 10 is arranged inside,
This leaf spring is curved in an upward convex shape so that the front and rear portions thereof fit into the notches 28 and 29, and the front and rear sliding members 21F and 21R of the rear sunshade 5R that face the notches 28 and 29.
Elastically support.

When the rear sunshade 5R is pushed down to the storage position (the position shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIGS. 7 and 8), the urging means 10 is compressed, and the repulsive force is exerted on the rear sunshade 5R. Can be raised, and the two sunshades 5F and 5R that have been polymerized are urged upward to eliminate rattling between the two and the guide rails 6. The rear sunshade 5R is first pushed down by the engaging portion 7, but the front and rear sliding members 21F and 21R can be lowered individually, so that the front sunward slanting can be performed, and the descending is smoothly performed, and thereafter, Since it is pushed down by the guide portion 34, it descends in a horizontal state.

The front and rear sliding body 20 of the front sunshade 5F
F and 20R are formed longer than the front notch 28,
The distance is set to be shorter than the distance between the front and rear cutouts 28 and 29, so that it does not fit into the front cutout 28 and does not face the rear cutout 29. That is, when the front sunshade 5F is superposed on the rear sunshade 5R, it is always urged upward by the action of the urging means 10, so that the front and rear slide bodies 20F and 20R fit into the front and rear cutouts 28 and 29. However, the front and rear sliding bodies 20F and 20R are made long and the distance therebetween is narrowed so that the fitting can be surely prevented even if the sliding movement causes the vibrations to move up and down due to vibration.

31 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is the front sunshade 5.
A seal member attached to the upper rear portion of F, which is made of rubber or the like and is in contact with the upper front portion of the rear sunshade 5R.
The opening / closing operation of the sunshade device will be described with reference to FIGS. The two-dot chain line in FIG. 1 and FIG. 10 show the inner opening 4
Is in a fully closed state, and when the front sunshade 5F is moved rearward from this state via the drive mechanism 17, the engaging portion 7
And the engaged portion 8 engage with the rear sunshade 5R to move backward. With the inner opening 4 being substantially half-opened,
The rear sunshade 5R is stopped by the stopper 30 at the rear end of the guide rail 6, and the front and rear slide bodies 21F and 21R face the front and rear cutouts 28 and 29 at the same time.

When the front sunshade 5F is moved backward from this state to further open the inner opening 4, the engaging portion 7 contacts the inclined surface 27 and pushes the bracket 19 downward (see FIG. 1).
1) Further, it slides backward on the push-down guide portion 11 together with the guide portion 34, whereby the front and rear slide bodies 21F and 21R of the rear sunshade 5R are housed from the front and rear cutouts 28 and 29 against the biasing means 10. The rear sunshade 5R is pushed down into the portion 9 and stored one step lower than the front sunshade 5F.

Front sunshade 5F is rear sunshade 5R
When you get on the boat again, front and rear sunshades 5
In the state where F and 5R are stored, a gap 35 is formed between them and neither slides nor contacts closely. Then, the front sunshade 5F is superposed on the rear sunshade 5R to fully open the inner opening 4 (FIG. 12). The closing operation from the fully opened state is the reverse of the above operation, and when the front sunshade 5F is moved forward, the rear sunshade 5R rises due to the repulsive force of the biasing means 10 and enters the guide groove 22, so that the engaging portion 7 is released. After engaging with the engaged portion 8, the rear sunshade 5R moves together with the front sunshade 5F to perform a closing operation.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but can be variously modified. For example, the guide portion 34 is made short like the engaging portion 7, and the front sliding body 2
