As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, when the sun visor body 111 is arranged at the light shielding position along the windshield, the light shielding area is reduced at the bent portion 111a of the sun visor body 111, and the side portion of the windshield is closer to the side. Therefore, there is a problem that the light is incident on the light source and the light-shielding property is deteriorated. In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, an object of the present invention is that when the sun visor body is arranged at the storage position, it can be stored without a gap along the curved surface near the side portion of the vehicle cabin ceiling surface, and the sun visor body is shielded from light. It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle sun visor that, when placed in a position, can eliminate the problem that the light shielding area is reduced due to the bending of the end portion of the sun visor body.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a vehicle sun visor according to the invention of claim 1 is provided with a support shaft mounted on a ceiling surface of a passenger compartment and rotatably supported by the support shaft. A sun visor body which is arranged to be switched between a storage position along the vehicle cabin ceiling surface and a light shielding position along the windshield surface;
In a vehicle sun visor including: a deformable portion that is bendable and deformable along a curved surface near a side portion of the vehicle interior ceiling surface, is formed at a portion near one end of the sun visor body. The vehicle sun visor according to the invention of claim 2 is
In the vehicle sun visor according to claim 1, the deformed portion of the sun visor body is formed in a bellows shape. A vehicle sun visor according to a third aspect of the present invention is the vehicle sun visor according to the first aspect, wherein the sun visor body is formed by blow molding, and at the same time, a deformed portion is formed on the sun visor body.

[0005]

In the present invention configured as described above,
When the sun visor body is placed in the retracted position, the deformed portion near the one end of the sun visor body is bent and deformed along the curved surface near the side portion of the passenger compartment ceiling surface. Further, when the sun visor body is arranged at the light-shielding position, the deformed portion of the portion near the one end of the sun visor body extends flat. Further, since the deformed portion of the sun visor body is formed in a bellows shape, the deformed portion is smoothly bent and deformed along the curved surface near the side of the ceiling surface of the vehicle interior. Further, since the deformed portion is formed at the same time when the sun visor body is blow-molded, the number of parts and the assembly process are not increased.
