Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automobile sun visor which is attached to an upper edge portion of a windshield in an interior of an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 8, a sun visor 2 of this type is conventionally attached to the left and right of an inner mirror 1 attached to the center of the upper edge of the windshield on the roof side. The visor 2 is the mounting shaft 3
Is provided so as to be rotatable about the mounting shaft 3 in the horizontal direction, and an auxiliary support portion 4 that is detachably engaged with a sun visor holder 5 attached to the upper edge of the windshield is provided. When the sun visor 2 is not used, the sun visor 2 is pivoted to the ceiling side and is provided so as to be stored in the same plane as the ceiling surface.

[0003]

However, for example, in the same vehicle model, the inner mirror 1 has the inner mirror 1 shown in FIGS.
As shown in Fig. 2, there are a mirror 6 with a small size and a mirror 6 with a large size. Therefore, in the case of a small mirror 6, the distance between the roof side and the mirror 6 becomes large, and it is free to shield from light. It is necessary to have a sun visor 8 having a convex portion 8a for shielding the space on the end side, and in the case of a large mirror 7, the free end side of the sun visor 9 is formed at a substantially vertical edge portion 9a as shown in the figure. Therefore, it was necessary to prepare two types of sun visors 8 and 9. Also,
Recently, the electrification of the equipment of the vehicle has been particularly developed, and the upper ceiling part of the inner mirror is used to collectively arrange the operation switches for that purpose, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. Large and small switch parts 10a and 10b differ in size depending on the specifications. Therefore, the small switch part 10a is provided with a sun visor 8 having a convex portion 8a, and the large switch part 10b is provided with a vertical edge portion. The sun visor 9 having 9a was attached, and similarly, it was necessary to prepare two types of sun visors 8 and 9. The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems. In the same vehicle model, the inner mirrors 6 and 7 of large and small or the switch parts 10a and 10b of large and small can be dealt with and unified. The purpose is to provide a visor.

[0004]

In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is directed to an automobile sun visor for coping with large and small inner mirrors attached to a vehicle and large and small switch portions formed on a ceiling portion. In addition, the free end side of the sun visor can be formed in a vertical edge portion, and can be housed between the small inner mirror and the upper edge of the windshield or between the upper edge and the small switch portion. The auxiliary visor is configured so that the free end side of the sun visor can be attached to and detached from the vertical edge portion and the lower edge side by appropriate locking means, and the auxiliary visor is a foldable / unfoldable automotive vehicle. It is a sun visor.

[0005]

With the above structure, the auxiliary visor can be detachably mounted to take two modes with one type of sun visor, and the auxiliary visor can be folded and unfolded. By deploying the auxiliary visor and installing it on the lower edge side, it is possible to shield the strong sunlight from the west.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sun visor 15, FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of expansion and folding of an auxiliary visor 16, and FIGS. It is an explanatory view of the use of the auxiliary visor, and the sun visor 15 of the present embodiment is formed in substantially the same shape as the conventional sun visor 9 attached to the vehicle equipped with the large inner mirror 7 or the switch portion 10b. The sun visor 15 is provided so as to be horizontally rotatable about the mounting shaft 3 via the mounting shaft 3 as in the conventional case, and is also mounted on the upper edge side of the windshield. And an auxiliary support portion 4 that is detachably engaged with the sun visor 15. When the sun visor 15 is not in use, the auxiliary support portion 4 is rotated to the ceiling side so as to be stored in the same plane as the ceiling surface. The auxiliary visor 16 to deal with a small inner mirror 6 and small-sized switch portion 10a is detachably mounted on the sun visor 15.

The auxiliary visor 16 includes, for example, a plurality of face plate elements 17a, 17b and 17c (three in this example) as shown in FIG.
The foldable pieces 16a, 16b, 16c are formed by folding the foldable pieces 16a, 16b, 16c by wrapping with a skin material 18 of the same type as that of No. , 16c has a size h that can be accommodated in the space between the small mirror 7 and the upper edge of the windshield.

A locking pin 20 having a locking head 20a at its tip is attached to the ends of the folding pieces 16a and 16c at the upper edges in the drawing. 2 (a) is folded and locked from the unfolded state, so that the folding pieces 16b and 16c are engaged with the magic tapes 22a and 22c which are entwined and locked on the front side in the drawing.
b is attached along the seam 19 and the edge portion, and one tape 23a for locking the same male and female entanglement is attached along the edge portion of the folding piece 16a on the front surface side in the drawing, and the folding piece is also attached. The other tape 23b is attached along the seam 19 on the back side of 16c in the drawing. The auxiliary visor 16 formed in this manner is folded from the fold line 19 to fold the velcro 2
By locking the auxiliary visors 16 through 23, the auxiliary visor 16 is folded into a rectangular shape having a size h that can be accommodated in the space between the small inner mirror 7 and the upper edge of the windshield. It is provided so that it can be deployed.

The auxiliary visor 16 thus formed can be attached to the free end edge 15a of the sun visor 15 by forming the engaging holes 24a at intervals between the engaging pins 20 in the folded state. By inserting and locking the folding auxiliary visor 16 into the hole 24 and inserting and locking the locking pin 20, the auxiliary visor 16 can be housed between the small inner mirror 6 and the upper edge of the windshield, and has the above-described mode of the sun visor 8. Further, locking holes 24b and 24c into which the locking pins 20 can be inserted are formed on the lower edge 15b side of the sun visor 15 at predetermined intervals to insert and lock the auxiliary visor 16 into the locking hole 24b. Thus, it is possible to adopt a mode corresponding to the large inner mirror 6.
Further, this can take the same two modes for the large and small switch sections 10a and 10b.

Therefore, the auxiliary visor 16 can be detachably attached to the vertical edge portion 15a by one sun visor 15, so that two modes can be adopted, so that the sun visor 15 can be unified and the productivity can be improved. Can be improved. Further, since the auxiliary visor 16 is provided so as to be foldable and expandable as described above, the sun visor 15 can be operated, for example, when driving on a severe day in the West.
There is a problem that sunlight enters from below and it becomes difficult to drive, but in such a case the auxiliary visor 1
6 is expanded and the locking pin 20 is locked to the locking holes 24b, 24c.
The lower edge 15b side of the sun visor 15 is extended by this auxiliary visor by inserting and locking the sun visor 15 in the sun visor so that the sun is shielded and safe driving can be performed.

In the above embodiment, the locking pin 20 is provided as the locking means of the auxiliary visor 16, but the invention is not limited to this, and for example, FIG.
And as shown in FIG. 7, a locking spring 25 made of a spring member.
The edge portion of the sun visor 15 may be sandwiched by a locking member including the mounting leg portion 26 and the mounting leg portion 26.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, the sun visor and the auxiliary visor can deal with the size of the inner mirror and the size of the switch formed on the ceiling. The visor can be unified, and the auxiliary visor is designed to be foldable and expandable.By folding it, the gap between the inner mirror and the upper edge of the windshield can be shielded from light, and it can also be expanded. By installing it on the lower edge of the sun visor in this condition, it is possible to cope with severe sunlight on the west and to drive safely.
