Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sunshade to be used by attaching it to the windshield of an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a means for dimming / shielding an automobile window, for example, a rear window, a louver or the like capable of shielding only a light beam incident from the top of the vehicle without obstructing the rear view from the driver's side. Generally, a structure in which the entire rear window is covered with a film or curtain to dim the light is used.

[0003]

By the way, since the shapes of the windows of automobiles are various and the ordinary louver has a structure that can be shared by a plurality of vehicle types, a gap is likely to occur at both left and right ends, which is sufficient. The price was high even though it couldn't show good shading performance. In addition, the structure in which a semi-transparent film is attached or a resin plate is attached is not suitable for mass production because it is dedicated to one vehicle model, and there is no freedom to remove it when unnecessary. Also, when using a curtain, it looked bad when it was moved to the side edge of the window, and it was easy to stain the whole because there was no storage case.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, is easy to install, does not make a gap between the upper edge portion and the side edge portion of the window at the time of use, and does not impair the aesthetic appearance of the window portion when unnecessary. An object of the present invention is to provide a sunshade that can be stored along the upper edge of the window at a relatively low cost.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] For this purpose, the following sun shade was created. That is, according to the present invention, a holder extending along an upper edge portion of a window is attached to a window of an automobile, and the holder has a sunshade member that can be fanned downward with an upper corner of the window as a rotation center. While being held in this state, it is characterized by including locking means for locking the tip of the fan-shaped awning member to the window side edge.

[0006]

When the sunshade having the above construction is used, the shade member is pulled out downward from the holder attached to the upper edge portion of the window and spread out in a fan shape, and the tip is locked to the edge portion on the window side. That is, since the shade member is fixed to the upper edge portion and the side edge portion of the window, the sun shade can be used in a state where no gap is formed in that portion. When the awning member is not used, the awning member is contracted and held by the holder, so that the aesthetic appearance of the window portion is not impaired.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a state in which the sunshade is attached to the rear window R of the automobile, and only the left side is in use.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the sun shade.

In both figures, a support shaft 2 is provided at one end of a cylindrical holding body 1 having an open bottom surface, and the support shaft 2 is rotatable about the base ends of a plurality of bone bodies 3 (3a to 3n). Supported by. A awning member 4 made of a plastic thin plate, which becomes about ¼ circle when extended, is attached to these bone bodies 3, and a fold line 4a is formed at a position that bisects the adjacent bone bodies 3. ing. Although the awning member 4 of this example is semi-transparent and colored so as to achieve appropriate dimming, it can also be used as a light blocking means if it completely blocks light.

A perforated projecting piece 5 is provided at the tip of the bone body 3a at the lowermost end, and the projecting piece 5 can be locked at the position of the side edge of the rear window R corresponding to this. A bar-shaped locking member 6 with a head is attached. These constitute the locking means in the present invention. In addition to this, as a locking means, an appropriate locking tool (fastener) such as a hook, a clip, a clamp, or a velcro can be used.

On the other hand, the holding member 1 is also provided with a locking member 1a similar to the locking member 6, and the awning member 4 folded and contracted to lock the projection 5 to the locking member 1a. By doing so, it can be held in the holding body 1. In FIG. 2, numeral 7 is a double-sided adhesive tape as an example of an attaching means for attaching the holder 1 to the upper edge of the rear window R. If the shade member 4 itself has an appropriate rigidity, it is possible to directly attach the shade member 4 to the support shaft 2 without using the bone body 3 described above.

Since the sunshade of this embodiment is constructed as described above, refer to FIG. 1, the rear window R of the automobile.
It can be easily attached to the upper edge. At this time, the awning member 4 is accommodated in the holder 1 in a contracted state, and the appearance of the rear window R is not impaired. Then, at the time of use, the projecting piece 5 is removed from the locking member 1a, and an arc is drawn as if it is pulled down by hand to the side edge portion of the rear window R, and is fitted and fixed to the locking member 6. Therefore, the awning member 4 which spreads in a fan shape is the rear window R.
Since the sides extending along the upper edge portion and the side edge portion are respectively fixed, light does not leak from the upper edge portion and the side edge portion of the rear window that the driver cares about.

Next, another example of the sun shade will be described. In FIG. 3 showing the main part of the sun shade in a cutaway manner,
A cylindrical thread hooking body 12 with a collar is projected in the holding body 11, and a nylon pulling thread 13 is hooked on the thread hooking body 12. One end of the pulling thread 13 is attached to a slider 15 which can slide along a guide groove 14 on the upper surface of the holding body 11, and the other end passes through a through hole 16a formed at the tip of each skeleton 16 and is located at the lowermost end. It is attached to the distal end of the bone body 16 to be used. In this example, a synthetic resin film is used as the awning member 17, but if a stretchable material is used for this, slack can be eliminated, which is convenient.
In addition, the left end portion of the holding body 11 (not shown) is provided for each bone body 16
This is the essential part of the fan that supports, and has the same configuration as the above-described embodiment.

Therefore, in this example, the slider 15
By operating, the sunshade member 17 can be opened / closed in a fan shape, and the usability is good.

Next, another example of the sunshade will be described. The sunshade shown in FIG. 4 has unequal lengths of the radii of the respective parts when expanded in a fan shape. Moreover,
At the center of the rear window R, the right and left shade members 21 are arranged so as to partially overlap each other. Therefore, in this example, the horizontally mounted high mount stop lamp 22 is not covered by the shade member 21, and the rear view of the driver can be favorably maintained. Further, it is possible to apply to rear windows of different sizes by adjusting the overlapping portion (width) of the shade member 21 at the time of mounting.

The sunshade described in each of the above embodiments can be used by attaching it to the side window S as shown in FIG. In this case, it is preferable that the outer peripheral portion of the sunshade member 31 that spreads in a fan shape be corrugated so that the occupant's face is hidden. It is needless to say that the present invention can be implemented in variously modified modes based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art other than these examples.

[0016]

As described above in detail, the sunshade of the present invention can be manufactured at a comparatively low cost because of its simple structure, can be easily mounted, and can be shared by a plurality of vehicle types. it can. Moreover, there is no gap between the side edge and the upper edge of the window that the driver cares about during use, and if the awning member is stored in the holder attached to the upper edge of the window, the appearance of the window will be improved. There is no loss.
