Automotive sun visor.

<Prior art> Normally, a sun visor is installed above the front windshield for the purpose of shielding the sun's rays and ensuring the occupant's driving visibility.Recently, in order to improve the aesthetics and safety of the interior, As shown in FIG. 5, when the sun visor is in the retracted state, a sun visor of the type in which the sun visor body 1 covers the shaft 2 and the bracket 3 has been put into practical use. In this type of sun visor, the hard shaft 2 and the bracket 3 are covered with the sun visor body 1 having a cushioning property, so that the safety is high and the ceiling and the sun visor body 1 have a sense of unity, which is advantageous in improving aesthetics. On the other hand, in order to avoid interference between the shaft 2 and the bracket 3 and the sun visor body 1, the pad on the back side of the sun visor body 1 is usually abolished (see FIG. 6).

<Problems to be solved by the invention> Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, when the sun visor body 1 is in a position of being positioned substantially parallel to the front window,
It has been pointed out that there is no tension on the skin of the part A where the pad is abolished, wrinkles and slack are generated, and the appearance is deteriorated when the sun visor is used. This means that wrinkles and sagging are further promoted by the fluctuation of the environmental temperature due to long-term use, and the appearance and design are significantly impaired.

In addition, the shaft 2,
At the same time, it has been pointed out that the skin of the sun visor body 1 comes into contact with the bracket 3 so that the skin is damaged.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an automotive sun visor of a type in which the sun visor body covers the shaft and the bracket when the sun visor body is stored on the ceiling surface. An object of the present invention is to provide an automobile sun visor that does not impair the aesthetic appearance even when the sun visor is in use, and that does not damage the outer skin of the sun visor body even when the sun visor is repeatedly rotated.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a shaft rotatably inserted in a bracket attached to a ceiling surface,
A sun visor main body that is rotatably supported by inserting the shaft, and when the sun visor main body is stored on the ceiling surface, in the sun visor for an automobile in which the shaft and the bracket are covered by the sun visor main body, the shaft is It is characterized in that a notch portion is formed in a corner portion of the sun visor body to be inserted, and a shaft is rotatably supported in the notch portion, and a resin cover for covering the shaft and the bracket is attached.

<Operation> As is apparent from the above configuration, according to the automobile sun visor of the present invention, the shaft and the bracket can be covered with the resin cover when the sun visor body is stored on the ceiling surface.

Further, the shaft and the bracket are held by the resin cover, so that the shaft and the bracket do not come into contact with the skin of the sun visor body when the sun visor body rotates.

<< Embodiment >> An embodiment of an automobile sun visor according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is an external view of the sun visor for a vehicle according to the present invention as seen from the inside of the vehicle, illustrating the usage of the sun visor, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the sun visor, and FIG. 3 is an inside of the vehicle showing the storage of the sun visor. FIG. 4 is an external view seen from the above, and FIG. 4 is a structural explanatory view showing a modified example of the resin cover mounting structure used in the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, an automobile sun visor 10 according to the present invention.
Is a sun visor body 11 that has a cushioning property and that secures an appropriate light-shielding area, and a shaft 12 that is bent in a substantially L-shape to rotatably support the sun visor body 11.
, And insert the end of the shaft 12 rotatably
Bracket that holds and holds the ceiling
13 and a resin cover 14 fixed to the shaft 12 mounting portion of the sun visor body 11.

More specifically, the configuration of the sun visor 10 according to the present invention is
Referring to the figure, the shaft 12 of the sun visor body 11
A cutout portion 15 is formed in the insertion portion, and the resin cover 14 is attached to the cutout portion 15. And this resin cover
Reference numeral 14 denotes a bearing portion 16 that holds the shaft 12, and a cover portion 17 that covers the shaft 12 and the bracket 13 when the sun visor body 11 is retracted. The cover portion 17 has a surface that is substantially the same as the surface of the sun visor body 11. It is shaped like a curved surface with a gentle curve.

Therefore, by applying the resin cover 14 to the cutout portion 15 of the sun visor body 11, and by fitting the cylindrical bearing portion 16 of the resin cover 14 into the holder 18 that functions as a bearing installed inside the sun visor body 11, , Sun visor body 11
The resin cover 14 is attached and fixed to. Before installing this resin cover 14, make sure that the shaft 12 is
It is inserted in 14 bearing portions 16.

Further, when the sun visor body 11 is rotated with respect to the shaft 12, the sun visor body 11 and the resin cover 14 need to move integrally, so that the cylindrical bearing portion 16 is provided with the convex portion 19,
A groove portion 20 into which the convex portion 19 is fitted is formed in the shaft hole 21 of the holder 18.

A stopper 22 is formed on the shaft 12 to prevent the shaft 12 from falling off.

Since the automobile sun visor 10 according to the present invention is constructed as described above, it is shown in FIG. 3 when the sun visor body 11 is rotated upward and brought into a retracted state so as to be in close contact with the ceiling surface 23. As described above, by the cover portion 17 of the resin cover 14 which is substantially flush with the surface of the sun visor body 11,
Since the shaft 12 and the bracket 13 are completely covered, it is aesthetically pleasing, and the corner projections of the bracket and the like do not hit the occupant, which is also excellent in safety.

Further, according to the configuration of the present invention, the shaft 1
2, cut out the part where the skin contacts the bracket 13
15 is formed and the resin cover 14 is attached to the cutout portion 15.Therefore, even if the sun visor body is frequently rotated, the skin of the sun visor body 11 may come into contact with the shaft 12 and the bracket 13. There is no possibility of damaging the skin of the sun visor body 11, and good quality can be secured for a long period of time.

Next, FIG. 4 shows another embodiment in which the resin cover 14 according to the present invention is attached to the sun visor body 11. According to this embodiment, a plurality of locking claws 24 are formed on the resin cover 14 and An example in which the pawl 24 is locked to the wire frame 25 which is the core material of the sun visor body 11 and the resin cover 14 is attached and fixed to the sun visor body 11 is shown.

<< Effect >> As described above, the automobile sun visor according to the present invention has the following special operational effects.

According to the present invention, a notch is provided at a portion where wrinkles and slacks have conventionally occurred, and a resin cover is attached and fixed to the notch, and when the sun visor body is stored, the shaft and the bracket are covered by the resin cover. Since it is coated with, the appearance will be good.

According to the present invention, since the notch is provided in the corner portion of the sun visor body, which has conventionally been wrinkled or loosened, and the resin cover is attached to the notch, the skin of the sun visor body is in use when the sun visor is in use. There is no wrinkle or slack, and it has the effect of improving the aesthetics.

The shaft that supports the sun visor body is supported by a bearing by a resin cover.
Since the brackets do not interfere, damage to the skin of the sun visor body can be prevented.

According to the present invention, the structure for attaching the resin cover to the sun visor body is such that the bearing portion of the resin cover is press-fitted into the shaft hole of the holder in the sun visor body or the locking provided on the resin cover to the wire frame of the sun visor body. There is an advantage that the resin cover can be easily attached to the sun visor body like the method of locking the claws and the attachment is easy.
