【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, and is an exploded perspective view showing a state where a mirror unit is attached to a sun visor body, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing a state where a mirror unit is attached to a sun visor body. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of an essential part showing another embodiment of a mirror unit mounting structure according to the present invention.

First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

In the drawings, the sun visor with a mirror according to the present invention is generally composed of a sun visor body composed of divided bodies 10 and 20, and a mirror unit 30 attached to the sun visor body.

More specifically, the divided body 10 on one side is obtained by covering and attaching a curved surface side of a split core material 11 in the shape of a half shell made of an injection molded body of synthetic resin with a skin material 12 such as a cloth. Therefore, an opening 13 for exposing the mirror is formed in the central portion.

Similarly, in the split body 20 on the other side, the curved surface side of the split core material 21 in the shape of a half shell that is injection-molded to form the outer shape of the product is covered with the skin material 22. .

Further, locking pieces 14 and 23 are integrally provided at corresponding positions on the inner surfaces of the split core members 11 and 21, respectively. The locking pieces 14 and 23 are engaged with each other. Thus, the inner surfaces of the split bodies 10 and 20 are overlapped and bonded to each other to form the sun visor body.

By the way, the feature of the present invention is that there is no gap between the mirror unit 30 fixed to the inner surface of the split core member 11 on one side and the sun visor body, and the mirror unit 30 has a very good appearance. It is to provide a mounting structure.

That is, in the mirror unit 30, a makeup mirror 32 is attached and fixed to the center of a unit base 31 made of a resin molded body, and an opening / closing lid 33 for opening and closing which covers the surface of the makeup mirror 32 as desired. Is installed so that it can be opened and closed.

As fixing means for fixing the mirror unit 30 to the inner surface of the split core member 11, mounting bosses 34 that are integrally provided at four positions of the unit base 31 of the mirror unit 30 are formed at upper, lower, left and right positions. On the other hand, also on the side of the split core material 11, mounting bosses 15 are similarly projectingly formed on the four sides around the opening 13 at positions corresponding to the mounting bosses 34.

The inner diameter of the mounting boss 34 on the mirror unit 30 side is set to be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the mounting boss 15 on the split core material 11 side as a reference.

Therefore, after positioning the mirror unit 30 at an appropriate position so as to cover the opening 13 and fitting the mounting boss 34 on the mirror unit 30 side into the mounting boss 15 on the split core member 11 side, By screwing the screw 35, the mirror unit 30 is fixed to the inner surface of the split core material 11.

Further, in the present invention, extension ribs 36 are set at the corners of the mirror unit 30 so as to extend from the unit base 31. Then, the extension rib 36 is extended to a position where the extension rib 36 overlaps the bearing holder 40 fixed to the inner surface of the split core material 11.

The bearing holder 40 is composed of a spring steel plate, and includes a cylindrical portion 41 that bears a shaft 50 that rotatably supports a sun visor, and a mounting portion 42 that is mounted on the split core material 11 side. The mounting holes 43 are formed at two locations in the portion 42, and the mounting holes 43 of the bearing holder 40 may be aligned with the mounting bosses 16 projectingly formed on the inner surface of the split core member 11 and fixed by the screws 45. At this time, the tip of the mounting portion 42 is bent downward, and a pressing piece 45 for pressing the upper surface of the extension rib 36 formed on the mirror unit 30 downward is integrally provided.

Therefore, in a state where the mirror unit 30 is attached to the inner surface side of the split core member 11 and the bearing holder 40 having the shaft 50 inserted therein is fixed with screws, as shown in FIG. An extension rib 36 from the mirror unit 30 is located on the upper surface of the rib 17 that is integrally provided on the base, and the pressing piece 45 of the bearing holder 40 is pressed against the upper surface of the extension rib 36. In the corner portion of the mirror unit 30, the unit base 31 and the split core material 11 are always urged to be in close contact with each other.

Therefore, at the corner portion where a gap is likely to occur between the sun visor body and the mirror unit 30, there is no gap as in the conventional case, and the appearance of the corner portion of the mirror unit 30 is extremely good. Therefore, there is an advantage that a beautiful appearance can be maintained for a long time.

Further, the present invention does not require a large number of fixing points for the mirror unit 30, and it suffices to apply the conventional mounting structure of the mirror unit 30 and the bearing holder 40, which causes an increase in cost. It can be expected to have an excellent design effect and is highly practical.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the extension rib 36 may be further extended and the shape of the extension rib 36 may be changed so as to overlap with the upper surface of the mounting boss 16 for mounting the bearing holder 40.

In such a case, the extension rib 36 from the mirror unit 30 is fixed together with the bearing holder 40 to the mounting boss 16 of the split core material 11 with the screw 44, which is more reliable. There is an advantage that the mirror unit 30 can be fixed.
