Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sunshade device which is arranged on a side window of a vehicle or the like and moves a shade main body in the vertical direction of the window along a guide rail.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a vehicle sun shade device in which a stay is attached to the tip of a shade main body to be wound and housed in a winding device and both ends of the stay are moved along guide rails, the applicant has actually The invention of Japanese Patent Application No. 5-53650 is provided. Then, in this product, when the shade main body is pulled out to a desired length and the stay is fixed to a desired position of the guide rail, an excessive amount of the shade main body is wound and stored by the winding force of the winding device, and the shade main body is wound. Are arranged along the window.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional example, a winding device for winding and housing the shade body was required. Therefore, the structure of the sunshade device is complicated and expensive.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the prior art. The object of the present invention is to provide a sunshade device having an extremely simple structure without requiring a winding device. Is what you are trying to do.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the sunshade device according to the present invention has a guide rail arranged in the vertical direction of the window and a base end portion attached to the upper end portion of the guide rail. It has a shade main body that can be folded and folded, and a stay that is attached to the tip of the shade main body and both ends of which are guided and guided along guide rails, so that the shade main body can be folded and placed on the stay. I am doing it. A communication hole communicating with the folded shade body is formed, and a guide member is inserted into the communication hole.

[0006]

When the shade main body is not used, the stay is located at the upper end of the guide rail, and the pleated shade main body is placed and stored in a state of being folded and folded on the stay by its own weight. When covering the window with the shade body, pull down the stay along the guide rails arranged in the vertical direction of the window, and the base end of the shade body is attached to the upper end of the guide rail, so fold it over the stay. The shade main bodies placed on the window are sequentially extended to cover the window. In addition, by forming a communication hole that communicates with the folded shade body and inserting a guide member into the communication hole, the shade body is restricted by the guide member, and the folded state of the shade body is not collapsed, and the shade body is It can be deployed smoothly.

[0007]

EXAMPLES Examples will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sunshade device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a shade body.

The guide rail 10 is attached to the window frame portion on the side surface of the inner wall of a vehicle or the like in the vertical direction of the window. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the guide rail 10 has a left side 1
1, the right side portion 12, and the lower side portion 13.
However, the guide rail according to the present invention is not limited to this, and it suffices that the guide rail has at least left and right side portions arranged along the height direction of the window. Guide rail 10
A guide groove (not shown) is formed in the groove. And
A drive member (not shown) is slidably arranged in the guide groove.

The shade main body 20 that covers the window is formed so that its vertical length is longer than the vertical length of the window. The shade body 20 has a left-right direction (left and right side portions 11, 1 of the guide rail 10).
It is pleated in two directions and can be folded up and down. The lateral width of the shade body 20 may be formed to be slightly shorter than the distance between the left and right side portions 11 and 12 of the guide rail 10.

The shade body 20 has a base end portion 21 attached to the upper end portion of the guide rail 10. The shade body 20 is formed with a communication hole 22 that communicates in the vertical direction when the shade body 20 is folded and folded. The communication hole 22 may be formed so as to communicate with at least two places of the shade body 20, for example, both side edge portions of the shade body 20.

A stay 3 is attached to the tip of the shade body 20.
0 is attached. The stay 30 is formed with a hole 31 through which a guide member 40, which will be described later, is inserted at a portion corresponding to the communication hole 22 of the shade body 20 in the folded state.

Both ends of the stay 30 are attached to a driving member via runners (not shown). And
When the motor 14 is driven, the drive member moves the guide rail 1
By sliding in 0 and moving the runner connected to the drive member at both ends, the stay 30 attached to the runner is guided and guided along the guide rail 10, and the shade body 20 is guided to the stay 30. The Rukoto. still,
In the illustrated example, the drive member is electrically slid by the motor 14, but the stay 30 may be manually moved.

The guide member 40 is disposed so as to be inserted into the communication hole 22 of the shade body 20. The guide member 40 is arranged so as to be substantially parallel to the left and right side portions 11 and 12 of the guide rail 10. One end of the guide member 40 may be fixed to the base end portion 21 of the shade body 20, and the other end may be fixed to the lower side portion 13 of the guide rail 10. As the guide member 40, a string, a wire or the like may be used.

In the sunshade device according to the present invention, since the winding device is not provided, an extra amount of the shade main body 20 that does not cover the window is folded and placed on the stay 30. Therefore, if the shade body 20 is configured to be supported by the guide member 40, the folded shade body 20 will not collapse. Then, the shade body 20 is smoothly expanded and moved while being regulated by the guide member 40.

Next, a method of operating the sunshade device according to the present invention will be described. When the shade body 20 is not used, the stay 30 is located at the upper end of the guide rail 10, and the pleated shade body 20 is placed and stored in a state of being folded and folded on the stay 30 by its own weight. When the window is covered with the shade body 20, the motor 14 is operated to pull the stay 3 by the drive member.
0 is along the guide rail 10 and the lower part 13 of the guide rail
The shade main body 20 that moves in the direction and is folded and placed on the stay 30 is sequentially stretched to cover the window. At this time, the shade body 20 has the guide member 4
Since the shade body 20 is restricted to 0, the folded state of the shade body 20 does not collapse, and the shade body 20 can be smoothly expanded.

When the shade body 20 is pulled up, the motor 14 is rotated in the reverse direction. Shade body 20 base 2
1 is attached to the upper end of the guide rail 10,
The shade body 20 is regulated by the guide member 40,
The leading end portion can be sequentially folded and placed on the stay 30, and can be stored in the upper end portion of the guide rail 10.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the shade main body subjected to the pleating process can be folded and placed on the stay, the device for winding the shade main body is not required and the structure is simple. It can be made inexpensive. Further, by restricting the shade main body with the guide member, the folded state of the shade main body does not collapse and the shade main body does not flutter due to vibration or wind pressure when the vehicle is traveling.
