Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a sunroof shade device for shielding a roof opening from the inside of a vehicle.

"Prior Art" As a conventional sunroof shade device, for example,
There is something like the one shown in the figure.

That is, the guide rail 2 is provided along the side edge of the indoor opening 1, and the slider 4 mounted on the side edge of the shade plate 3 is slidably fitted to the guide rail 2. The shade plate 3 is slidably contacted on the welt 1a of the indoor opening 1 so that no gap is formed.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, in such a conventional sunroof shade device, since the shade plate 3 slides in contact with the welt 1a of the indoor opening 1 to slide and open and close, a large operating force is required. In addition to the above, there is a problem in that the side edges of the rubbed shade plate 3 may be scratched and the appearance may be impaired.

The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional problem. When the shade plate is moved with a hand, the shade plate is lifted and can be lifted and moved from the welt of the indoor opening. An object of the present invention is to provide a sunroof shade device.

"Means for Solving the Problem" The gist of the present invention for achieving such an object is to provide a sunroof shade device that shields the roof opening from the inside of the passenger compartment, in which a roof opening and an interior opening formed in the headlining are provided. A shade plate is installed so that it can be slidably opened and closed with respect to the opening edge of the, and the slider is slidably fitted to the indoor rail along the side edge of the indoor opening. The upper end of the suspension link is pivotally attached to the slider by a horizontal axis orthogonal to the moving direction of the slider, so that when the shade plate is moved by hand, the suspension link swings to lift the shade plate. A shade device for a sunroof is characterized in that a shade plate is connected to and supported by a lower end of the suspension link.

"Operation" The shade plate is manually operated to slide and open between the roof opening and the opening edge of the indoor opening formed in the headlining.

When the opening / closing operation is not performed, the suspension link hangs directly below the slider fitted to the guide rail, and the shade plate rests on the opening edge of the indoor opening of the headlining.

To open it, put your hand on the shade plate and push in the opening direction,
Since there is sliding resistance between the slider and the guide rail, the slider does not move at first, and the hanging link hanging around the horizontal axis orthogonal to the moving direction of the slider at the upper end swings in the door opening direction.

The shade plate is lifted by the amount that the suspension link is shaken and lifted away from the opening edge of the indoor opening.

When the shade plate is pushed further, the slider starts to move and moves along the guide rail. Since the shade plate floats from the opening edge, there is no contact resistance, and the shade plate can be lightly moved and opened only by the sliding resistance between the slider and the guide rail.

Also when closing the shade plate, the shade plate is lifted by swinging in the opposite direction to when the suspension link is opened, and the shade plate can be lifted from the opening edge of the indoor opening and closed lightly.
