Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This application relates to a vehicle sun visor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a sun visor for a vehicle is supported on both left and right sides of a rear view mirror support bracket fixed near the center of the front end of the roof of the vehicle, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-139516. The sun visor is mounted so that its rotation can be adjusted via a rod, and this sun visor is usually composed of a translucent synthetic resin plate colored in green or brown.

[0003]

However, since the sun visor of the conventional structure has a concentration necessary to shield the direct rays of the sun from the whole, the sun visor is more important than the traffic signal, especially in winter. When it is located below, it is difficult to check the display because the traffic signal that blinks with a light beam weaker than the sun's rays is almost hidden, and when you change the position of the sun visor to check the display of the traffic signal, There were inconveniences, such as the sun's rays directly entering the eyes and causing a dazzling state.

[0004]

In order to remedy the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional ones, the present application requires a main body made of a semitransparent plate having a density necessary for confirming the display of a traffic sign including a traffic signal. It is characterized in that a light-shielding portion having a concentration necessary to shield the sun's rays is provided at a part, and when a plurality of light-shielding portions are arranged side by side in the lateral direction near the lower edge of the main body, The part may be formed of a strip-shaped light shielding part extending in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction. In the above, the light-shielding portion may be configured by adhering a light-shielding piece, and in the present application, it is necessary to confirm the display of a traffic sign including a traffic signal so that the light-shielding piece moves on the surface of the main body. Characterized by a semi-transparent body with various concentrations, and a light-shielding piece having the concentration required to block the sun's rays when superposed on the body so that it can be slid vertically or horizontally. The above-mentioned light-shielding plate is provided with a sandwiching piece for elastically sandwiching the main body at one end of a strip whose length is equal to the width or the vertical width of the main body.

[0005]

However, as usual, the vehicle is driven with the main body up and down so that the light-shielding portion or the light-shielding piece is oriented toward the sun, or the light-shielding piece is slid. Therefore, the sun rays are greatly attenuated at the position of the light shielding part or the light shielding piece. And even if the sunbeams deviate from the light-shielding part or the light-shielding piece as the car is driven, the sunbeams are still attenuated to some extent by the main body having the concentration necessary to confirm the display of the traffic sign including the traffic signal. There is no fear that the driver will be dazzled.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, both left and right side portions of a rear view mirror support bracket 20 mounted near the front center of a roof portion in a vehicle are shown in FIG. The engaging hole 21 is provided in the engaging hole 21, and one end of the supporting rod 22 is press-fitted and fixed in the engaging hole 21, and the other end of the supporting rod 22 is rotatably adjustable by a normal press-fitting means. The overall plan view of the sun visor A at the right position is shown, and this sun visor A has a concentration enough to confirm the color display of the traffic signal, in other words, for blocking the direct rays of the sun. It is composed of a main body 1 of a semitransparent synthetic resin plate colored with about half the required density, and a support rod 22 is provided on the left half of the upper edge thereof.
The other end of the main body 1 is provided with a mounting portion 2 which is rotatably adjustable. The lower portion of the main body 1 is necessary to shield the direct rays of the sun in the horizontal direction at a small distance from its lower edge. A plurality of circular light-shielding portions 3, 3, ... Having different densities are provided at a required interval.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, the mounting portion 2 of the main body 1 of the sun visor according to the present invention is rotatably mounted on the other end portion of the support rod 22, and the shading portion 3,
The main body 1 is rotationally adjusted so that any one of 3, ... is directed to the direct rays of the sun, and the automobile is driven in this state. Greatly attenuates.

When the direct rays of the sun deviate from the light blocking portion 3 due to the driving of the vehicle, the positions of the eyes are changed so that the direct rays of the sun are captured by the light blocking portion 3. In this case, even if the direct rays of the sun deviate from the light-shielding portion 3 and enter the eye, the difference in the density between the portion of the light-shielding portion 3 and the other portion is transparent, which does not have the density of the light-shielding portion 3 at all. Since it is less than the difference between the parts, the fear of the driver being dazzled by the incidence of direct rays of the sun is eliminated.

On the other hand, when the vehicle approaches the intersection point and the color display of the traffic signal is confirmed, the traffic signal is blocked by the light-shielding section 3
Since the parts other than the light-shielding part 3 of the main body 1 are formed with such a density that the color display of the traffic signal can be sufficiently confirmed by removing it, the color display of the traffic signal can be easily confirmed. It is also easy to check the presence of people and bicycles passing by the pedestrian crossing.

FIG. 2 shows strip-shaped light-shielding portions 3a extending vertically in two portions in the widthwise direction in the circular light-shielding portion 3 in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 shows a single light-shielding portion extending in the widthwise direction near the lower edge of the main body 1. Another example in which the parts 3b are respectively arranged is shown.

In each of the above-mentioned embodiments, the light shielding parts 3 and 3 are also provided.
Although the case where a, 3b are integrally provided to the main body 1 is shown, the main body 1 is made of a semi-transparent synthetic resin plate colored in a density that allows the color display of the traffic signal to be sufficiently confirmed. And a light-shielding piece 4 made of a semi-transparent synthetic resin sheet having a density similar to that of the synthetic resin plate and having a separate structure corresponding to the shapes of the light-shielding portions 3, 3a to 3b. As shown in FIG. 4 (enlarged cross-sectional view corresponding to FIG. 1), the light-shielding piece 4 may be adhered to a required portion of the main body with, for example, a pressure sensitive adhesive 5. In this case, the light-shielding piece 4 is adhered. The density of the part is almost twice as high as that of the other parts, whereby the direct rays of the sun can be effectively shielded.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show still another embodiment in which the position of the light-shielding portion can be changed in the left-right direction along the lower edge of the main body 1, specifically, the main body 1 A light-shielding piece 8 formed by bending a sandwiching piece 7 at one end of a semitransparent strip 6 having a concentration required to block the direct rays of the sun by Semi-transparent body 1 with a density that allows color display to be sufficiently confirmed
It is attached so as to be movable in the left-right direction along the lower edge of. Reference numeral 9 in the figure denotes a knob provided at the bent portion.

FIG. 7 shows still another embodiment in which the position of the light-shielding portion can be changed in the vertical direction along the side edge of the main body 1, which is different from the configuration of FIGS. However, there is basically no difference except that the width of the strip 6 is narrow and the length is long.

In the above description, as shown in FIG. 8, the light-shielding piece 8 is made of a transparent synthetic resin plate, and the surface of the strip 6 is polymerized with the main body 1 to shield the direct rays of the sun. Of course, the light-shielding layer 10 having the required concentration may be provided.

Furthermore, in the above description, the light-shielding piece 4, the light-shielding piece 8 or the light-shielding layer 10 may be opaque instead of semi-transparent.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to shield the sun rays by the light shielding portion, and it is possible to easily recognize the display of the traffic sign including the traffic signal by changing the position of the eyes. It is possible and safe driving because there is no fear of causing dazzling to the driver because the sun's rays are attenuated to some extent depending on the concentration of the main body even if the sun's rays deviate from the position of the light shielding part as the car drives. Can be expected. Particularly, according to the configuration of claim 7, since the light shielding piece can be moved on the surface of the main body, there is an advantage that it is extremely convenient to use.
