[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a sliding guide tool for attaching an appropriate sliding body to a guide ridge provided on an object to be mounted, and more specifically, for example, to appropriately shield a sunroof of an automobile, The present invention relates to a sliding guide tool for slidably attaching a sliding object such as a sunshade to a guide ridge formed by a rail or the like provided on the edge of a window hole.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For example, in order to open / close / move the sliding body 100 such as a sunshade of an automobile as appropriate, a guide protrusion 201 is formed on an edge of the sliding body 100 such as a window hole for accommodating the sliding body 100 along the opening / closing direction. A technique is provided in various fields in which a rail 200 or the like provided with is provided, and the slidable body 100 is slidably supported by the rail 200.

In this case, in order to support the slidable body 100 in the window hole or the like without backlash, the slidable body 100 is attached to the side edge facing the rail 200 as shown in FIG. A sliding guide 300 as shown is used.

That is, the sliding guide 300 includes a main body 301 having a substantially U-shaped cross section, which includes a pair of sandwiching plates 301a and 301a for sandwiching the side edges of the sliding body 100, and the sandwiching plates. It is provided with a pair of arm-shaped elastic pieces 302, 302 extending outward from both sides of a side plate 301b connecting the 301a, 301a. A recess 303 for receiving the guide projection 201 is formed at the tip of the elastic piece 302. Therefore, as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 9, the side of the holding plate portion 301a is assembled to the side edge portion of the sliding body 100, and the elastic piece 302 is attached to the sliding body 100 side. By allowing the guide protrusion 201 to be received in the recess 303 of the pair of elastic pieces 302, 302 while slightly bending the slide body 100 toward the rail 200, the slidable body 100 is always moved away from the rail 200. Thus, the elastic piece 302 can be supported without rattling while being pressed by the repulsive force of the elastic piece 302 that has been bent.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, when the slidable body 100 is pushed toward the rail 200 side with the opening / closing movement of the slidable body 100 supported by the rail 200 via the sliding guide 300, the elasticity of the slidable body 100 is reduced. The piece 302 will be further bent toward the rail 200 side, but in the sliding guide 300, all of this pressing force will be applied to the elastic piece 302, and therefore the elastic piece 302. The stress is likely to be concentrated on the base side of the elastic piece 302, so that the elastic piece 302 is easily damaged or deformed. Further, when the slidable body 100 is moved toward the lower side of the rail 200, the base side of the elastic piece 302 is positioned on the guide protrusion 201 at the tip end side, and the base side thereof is set at the rail 200. The elastic piece 302 is twisted downward, which also causes the elastic piece 302 to be damaged or deformed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, when the sliding body 100 is mounted on the rail 200 via the sliding guide 300, one edge of the sliding body 100 faces the edge. After being mounted on the rail 200 or the like, the guide ridge 201 provided on the recess 200 at the tip of the elastic piece 302 of the sliding guide tool 300 provided on the other edge is provided on the rail 200 facing the other edge. However, this mounting work must be carried out in a groping state because of the fact that the guide ridges 201 are provided at a certain distance from the base of the rail 200. First of all, there was a demand for easier mounting work.

Therefore, the present invention is, firstly, in a sliding guide tool in which a pair of elastic pieces attached to the guide ridges are provided on one side, and the other side is assembled to a slidable body. The purpose is to reduce the force applied to the elastic piece due to the movement of the moving body and prevent the elastic piece from being damaged or deformed. Secondly, it is an object to facilitate the mounting of the pair of elastic pieces to the guide ridge.
