DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 is a perspective view showing the inside of a vehicle to which a sunshade as an embodiment of the present invention is applied. The right side in FIG. 2 is the rear side of the vehicle and the left side is the front side of the vehicle. As shown in FIG. 2, this vehicle has a roof opening 2 in a part of a roof 1. The roof opening 2 is equipped with a slide roof 3 that opens and closes by sliding. Glass is fitted into the slide roof 3, and even if the roof opening 2 is closed by the slide roof 3, it is possible to take light from the roof opening 2. Roof opening 2
A membrane door 5 in an unused state is held in close contact with the inner surface of the roof 1 of the rear portion of the roof portion 4 adjacent to the above. Membrane door 5 and roof opening 2 held on roof 1
A room lamp 6 protruding inward from the roof 1 between
The rear window 7 is located behind the membrane door 5 held by the roof 1.

As shown in FIG. 4, the membrane door 5 has a structure in which a membrane material 10 having an appropriate light-shielding property and air permeability is stretched around a rectangular frame composed of front and rear door frames 8 and left and right beams 9. . As the film material 10, a non-fibrous film such as a resin film or sheet having pores or a fibrous film such as woven cloth is used. The front and rear door frames 8 are each formed of elastically bendable spring material, and cylindrical or spherical slide pieces 11 are attached to the left and right ends thereof. The ends of the left and right beams 9 are attached to the end portions of the front and rear door frames 8, respectively, but the attachment portion with the front door frame 8 is perpendicular to the door frame 8 as shown in FIG. They are connected by a connecting structure 12 that can rotate in a plane.

As shown in FIG. 7, the roof opening 2 of the vehicle is shown.
The roof side rails 13 on the left and right roof sides, which extend over the front side and the roof portion 4 on the rear side adjacent thereto, have an inward slit 14 over the entire length and have a pipe-shaped slide hole 15 having a circular cross section inside. Slide rail 1
6 are attached respectively. This slide rail 1
The front end of 6 is located in front of the front edge of the roof opening 2, and the slide hole 15 is closed at the front end. The rear end of the slide rail 16 is located directly above the rear window 7, and the slide hole 15 is open at the rear end.

The flat area of the membrane door 5 is formed so as to cover the roof opening 2, and is mounted on the slide rail 16 by the slide piece 11 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction so as to straddle between the slide rails 16. ing. However, the length of the door frame 8 is configured to be longer than the interval between the slide rails 16. Therefore, the membrane door 5 mounted on the slide rail 16 becomes stable in a curved state in which the door frame 8 is bent in an arch shape as shown in FIG. In the warped state of the membrane door 5, since the fitting of the slide piece 11 and the slide hole 15 constitutes a cylindrical joint or a spherical joint as shown in FIG. 7, it is extremely smooth in the upward and downward directions. It is also possible to slide the slide rail 16 with respect to the slide rail 16 in a warped state.

The two slide pieces 11 on the rear side of the membrane door 5 are fitted into the vehicle structure at the lower edge of the rear window 7 corresponding to the rear end of each slide rail 16, respectively.
And a locking member 1 having a screw 18 for fixing the fitted state
9 is attached. (See FIGS. 4 and 1)

The sunshade having the above structure is held at the position indicated by A in FIG. 2 when not in use. That is, the membrane door 5 is moved to the roof portion 4 adjacent to the roof opening 2 and the door frame 8 is warped upward by the elastic bending of the roof 1 of the portion, so that the membrane door 5 is moved. It is stably held by the elastic force in a state of being in close contact with the roof 1 along the profile of the inner surface of the. When the roof opening 2 needs to be shielded from light, the door frame 8 of the membrane door 5 in this holding state is bent toward the interior side as shown in FIG. 6 to bend the membrane door 5 downward, and then to the slide rail 16. Slide along to the roof opening 2 at position B in FIG. At this time, since the membrane door 5 extends downward, it does not hinder the movement even if the protrusions such as the room lamp 6 are in the middle of movement. When the door frame 8 of the membrane door 5 that has been moved to the roof opening portion 2 is bent again toward the roof 1 side, the membrane door 5 becomes the roof 1 of the roof opening portion 2.
Along with the profile of the inner surface of the sheet, the sheet is elastically adhered to the roof 1 to cover the roof opening 2 and perform a light shielding function. The roof opening 2 of the sunshade can be covered whether the slide roof 3 is open or closed. If the sunshade is used in the closed state, the light passing through the glass of the slide roof 3 can be covered. Can be shielded.

If the sunshade is used in the open state, the roof opening 2 can be shielded from light while the ventilation from the roof opening 2 is allowed. At this time, the membrane door 5 is in close contact with the roof 1 due to the elastic force, so that there is no gap for insects to enter the vehicle, it also functions like a screen door in a general house, and takes a nap in the vehicle during the summer. It can be used in cases such as to create a comfortable interior atmosphere.

The sunshade in the holding state when not in use or in the light shielding state of the roof opening 2 can also function as a light shielding for the rear window 7, as shown in FIG. If it is in the holding state, it remains as it is, and if it is located in the roof opening 2, the warping operation opposite to the above is applied to the membrane door 5 and moved to the position A in the holding state. After that, slide two slide pieces 11 on the rear side of the membrane door 5 into the slide rails 16.
Then, these are locked to the locking member 19 as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 3 or 4. As a result,
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4, the membrane door 5 is pivoted along the rear window 7 by the connecting structure 12 on the front side of the beam 9 and is held obliquely, so that the rear window 7 performs the light shielding function. To change from this state to the holding state, the locking member 19
Remove the slide piece 11 from the slide rail 1 again
You can fit it in 6. In this way, this sunshade does not require drive means for sliding, does not require precise processing or operation to prevent gaps, has a simple structure, and has multiple functions. The comfort of the room can be improved.

The above-mentioned joint structure is effective for smoothing the movement of the membrane door 5 due to the bending and improving the adhesion to the roof 1, but the same function is used to hinge the door frame 8 and the slide piece 11. It can also be obtained by a configuration in which they are connected by.

[0022]

As is apparent from the above description of the embodiments, according to the first aspect of the invention, the roof opening can be covered and shielded from light in a state where no gap can be formed by a simple structure, and the gap is a door frame. Since it is not possible due to the elastic bending of the vehicle, the light can be shielded in a form in which the ventilation is allowed from the roof opening with the roof opening being opened, and the comfort of the passenger compartment can be improved in the summer and the like.

According to the invention of claim 2, in addition to the effect according to claim 1, the sliding portion of the membrane door with the slide rail rotates in the joint structure following the warp of the arched door frame. The adhesion of the membrane door to the roof becomes smooth, and the adhesion and separation operations of the membrane door to the roof can be performed smoothly.

According to the invention of claim 3, in addition to the effect according to claim 1 or claim 2, the membrane door can be provided to shield the rear window from light, and the functionality is increased.
