On the other hand, even if the deflector body flutters due to the influence of traveling wind, its movement is transmitted along the longitudinal direction of the deflector arm, so that the deflector arm does not move in the vertical direction and abnormal noise is suppressed. Like

[0013]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings of FIGS.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a vehicle roof, and the roof 1 is provided with a roof opening 3. A lid 5 that can be slidably opened is provided in the roof opening 3, and a sealing member such as a weather strip that elastically contacts the roof opening edge 7 to secure a seal at the outer peripheral edge of the lid 5 when the lid 5 is fully closed. 9 is attached.

Mounting brackets 11 are fixed on both sides of the lid 5 over substantially the entire length in the front-rear direction, and roller-shaped pressing bodies 12 are provided at the front ends thereof. Below the mounting bracket 11, a guide rail 15 having a rail portion 13 having a channel-shaped cross section is arranged from the front end side of the roof opening 3 to both sides, while the front end side area of the roof opening 3 is long in the vehicle width direction. A deflector 17 is provided.

The lid 5 is supported by a front moving shoe 19 and a rear moving shoe (not shown) slidable forward and backward with respect to the rail portions 13, 13 of the guide rail 15, and the front moving shoe 19 is provided. Is for support.

Although not shown, the rear moving shoe has a lifting function for vertically moving the rear end side of the lid 5, so-called tilt-up and tilt-down, inside the guide hole 21 of the rail portion 13. It is for driving, which is controlled so that it can be slid back and forth by a geared cable 23.

On the other hand, the deflector body 27 of the deflector 17 is formed in a plate shape that is long in the vehicle width direction and connects the pair of left and right deflector arms 25. The deflector arm 25 is pressed downward by the pressing body 12 that acts on the arm upper surface 25a when the lid 5 is fully closed, and the base is fixed to the guide rail 15 with screws 29. The member 31 is rotatably supported by an arm shaft 33. The deflector arm 25 is constantly given an urging force urged upward by a plate-like urging spring 35 fixedly supported by the mounting member 31. As a result, when the deflector arm 25 and the lid 5 are slid rearward, the pressing body 12 releases the pressing, so that the arm shaft 33 can be pivoted upward.

Further, the base portion of the deflector arm 25 is extended further rearward than the arm shaft 33, and an adjusting screw 36 as an adjusting tool is screwed into the arm extension portion 25b, and the tip end portion of the adjusting screw 36 is the above-mentioned. It is in contact with the upper surface of the mounting member 31.

Therefore, by rotating the adjusting screw 36 and adjusting the protrusion amount D of the screw tip, the tip side of the deflector arm 25 can be adjusted upward or downward about the arm shaft 33 as a fulcrum. Becomes

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the tip of the deflector arm 25 serves as a holding portion 41 having an arc-shaped guide groove hole 39 centered on a hinge pin 37, which will be described later, inside. The engagement pin 43 of the deflector body 27 is slidably engaged with the guide groove hole 39 of the holding portion 41.

Further, the hinge pins 37, both ends of which are supported by curled bending portions 47, are provided at both ends on the lower end side of the deflector body 27. The hinge pin 37 is rotatably pivotally attached to a hinge pin receiving member 49 fixed to the rail portion 13 of the guide rail 15, and an urging spring 51 is interposed. As a result, the deflector body 27 is always provided with a biasing force in the counterclockwise direction (arrow C in FIG. 4), and the engaging pin 43 can be moved within the guide groove hole 39. .

According to the deflector device configured as described above, when the deflector body 27 is assembled, if the adjusting screw 36 is rotated clockwise, for example, and screwed, the protrusion amount D of the screw portion becomes large. Then, the deflector arm 25 descends about the arm shaft 33 as a fulcrum, and downward adjustment can be performed. As a result, the working posture of the deflector body 27 having a small standing angle can be obtained.

Further, when the adjusting screw 36 is rotated counterclockwise in the loosening direction, the projecting amount D of the screw portion becomes small, and the deflector arm 25 rises with the arm shaft 33 as a fulcrum, and the upward adjustment can be performed.

As a result, the working posture of the deflector body 27 having a large upright angle (chain line I in FIG. 4) can be obtained.

On the other hand, when the lid 5 is fully closed, the deflector arm 25 is pressed downward by the pressing body 12, and the deflector body 27 is in a collapsed storage posture as shown by a chain line II in FIG.

Next, when the lid 5 is moved backward (arrow D) to open the slide, the pressing body 12 is separated from the deflector arm 25, and the pressing is released. As a result, the deflector arm 25 is rotated upward by the urging spring 35, and the deflector main body 27 obtains the upright working posture (solid line in FIG. 1) set by the adjusting screw 36. In this operating posture, even if the deflector body 27 flaps due to the influence of traveling wind, the movement is transmitted as a movement along the longitudinal direction of the deflector arm 25, so that the deflector arm 25 moves vertically. No noise is generated by the adjusting screw 36 without connecting.

[0028]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the deflector body at the time of assembly can be appropriately set in the operating postures having different upright angles by the adjusting tool provided on the deflector arm side. Further, the deflector arm does not move up and down largely due to the influence of the deflector body, so that it is possible to suppress the generation of abnormal noise due to the adjusting tool, and to improve the sense of quality.
