Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sunshade device for a sunroof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in sunroofs, a type is known in which a sunshade as a sunshade is provided inside a lid that can be opened and closed.

The sunshade is supported at both ends slidably in the front and rear directions by guide rails provided in the roof opening, and is manually slid forward to be in a fully closed state facing below the roof opening. In addition, by manually sliding the door from the fully closed state to the rear side, a sliding opening state retracted from the roof opening can be obtained.

[0004]

The sunshade is provided with a sliding portion such as flocked hair provided on the guide rail, as seen in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-56896, from the place where it is manually slid back and forth. A means for giving a predetermined sliding resistance to the sunshade by the sliding portion is known.

However, since the sunshade is only supported in a state of riding on the upper surface of the sliding portion, when the sunshade slides open, for example, when the vehicle suddenly stops,
There was a risk that the sun shade would slide forward due to the inertial force when the vehicle suddenly stopped.

Therefore, the present invention provides a sunroof sunshade device which is capable of reliably holding the sunshade at the slide opening position when the sunshade is opened, and suppressing the contact noise at the time of the slide opening. Is intended.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is directed to a guide rail provided on both sides of a roof opening of a vehicle body and a fully closed structure for supporting both ends of the guide rail to block the roof opening. And a stopper member that comes into contact with the rear end portion of the sun shade when the sliding opening of the sun shade is completed, and the stopper member is formed of an elastically deformable elastic material. When the slide opening is completed, the stopper portion is in contact with the rear end surface of the sunshade, and the upper and lower clamping portions that vertically clamp the rear end portion of the sunshade in contact with the stopper portion.

In a preferred embodiment, one of the upper holding portion and the lower holding portion of the stopper member,
Protrusions are provided that project higher than the holding surface of each holding portion.

[0009]

According to such a sunroof sunshade device, by manually sliding the sunshade forward or backward, a fully closed state in which the roof opening is blocked and a sliding opening state in which the roof opening is fully opened can be obtained. become.

On the other hand, at the time of sliding opening the roof opening, the rear end of the sunshade rides on the projecting portion, but when riding on the projecting portion, the rear end portion of the sunshade comes into contact with the holding surface of the holding portion and abuts on the stopper portion. become. Therefore, the movement is slowed down by the projecting portion, and the contact noise is suppressed to be small in combination with the elastically deformable elastic material. At the same time, since the rear end of the sunshade is clamped by the upper and lower clamps, even when the vehicle suddenly stops, it does not slide forward due to inertial force when the vehicle suddenly stops. Further, since the rear end portion of the sunshade is biased toward the holding surface side of the one holding portion by the protruding portion, a strong holding pressure is secured and a reliable holding state can be obtained.

The stopper member 17 is made of an elastically deformable rubber or a soft material such as a synthetic resin material, which is substantially vertical, an upper holding portion 27 extending forward from the upper end of the stopper portion 25, and the stopper portion 25. And a lower holding part 29 extending forward from the lower end of the.

The inner holding surface 27a of the upper holding portion 27 is an upwardly tapered surface so that the rear end of the sunshade 7 can smoothly enter. The lower holding portion 29 projects forward more than the upper holding portion 27, and the upper surface of the extension portion is formed so as to project higher than the holding surface 29a and to have a protruding portion 31 that rises toward the intrusion (direction of arrow A). ing. Further, the engaging piece 23 is provided on the bottom of the lower holding portion 29.
Engagement grooves 33 that engage with each other are provided along the longitudinal direction.

From the holding surface of the upper holding portion 27 to the lower holding portion 2
The dimension a to the sandwiching surface of 9 is the rear end portion 7 of the sunshade 7.
It is set to be slightly smaller than the dimension b of a, and the upper and lower clamping surfaces 27
The clamping pressure by a and 29a is ensured.

The length D of the stopper member 17 is set to be substantially the same as the dimension d from the regulating surface of the side regulating portion 21 to the regulating surface of the side regulating portion 21.

The height H of the stopper member 17 is set to be substantially the same as the dimension h from the general surface of the cross member 11 to the upper regulating body 19.

As shown in FIG. 7, the guide rail 9 has a crank-shaped cross section in which a rising wall 37 rises vertically from a substantially horizontal base portion 35 and a flange portion 39 is extended laterally. The base portion 35 is provided with left and right rail portions 43 having a cable guide groove 41. A gutter portion 45 is provided between the rail portion 43 and the rising wall 37 to guide rainwater or the like into the drain hole.

From the wall surface of the inner rail portion 41,
The holding portion 47 continuous in the longitudinal direction is projected.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 7, the lid 5 has a bracket 53 supported by a front moving shoe 49 and a rear moving shoe 51 which are slidable forward and backward with respect to the rail portions 43, 43 of the guide rail 9. And the front moving shoe 49 is for support. Further, the rear moving shoe 51 has a lifting function for vertically moving the rear end side of the lid 5, so-called tilt up and tilt down, and is moved forward and backward by a geared cable 55 running in the cable guide groove 41 of the rail portion 43. It is designed for sliding control.

The geared cable 55 is operated and controlled by a drive motor M capable of rotating in the forward and reverse directions by a hand switch.

On the other hand, the sunshade 7 is composed of an aluminum core material and a skin, and both ends of the sunshade 7 are supported on both sides of the sunshade 7 via mounting members 57 provided on each of the right and left sides.

The mounting member 57 is formed of a spring plate, and two legs 61 are extended in a V shape from the main body 59 fixed to the sunshade 7, and a slider is provided at the tip of the leg 61. 63 are provided. The slider 63 is slidably fitted in the holding portion 47 of the guide rail 9.

As a result, the sunshade 7 can be moved in the vertical direction by a predetermined amount by the mounting member 57 made of the spring plate.

In the sunshade device constructed as described above, in order to mount the stopper member 17, as shown in FIG. 2, the engaging groove 33 is positioned with respect to the engaging piece 23 and elastically deformed in the vehicle width direction. By inserting while inserting, the installation is completed as shown in FIG. In this case, since there is no unreasonable fitting due to press fitting, it can be easily installed and
A mounting state that does not move up and down, left and right, and front and back can be obtained.

On the other hand, if the sunshade 7 is slid forward by hand, a fully closed state in which the roof opening 1 is blocked can be obtained. Further, by sliding the sunshade 7 rearward by hand, a sliding opening state in which the sunshade 7 is retracted from the roof opening 1 can be obtained.

At the time of this slide opening, the rear end side 7a of the sunshade 7 as shown by the chain line in FIG. 4 is urged upward when it interferes with the protrusion 31 before and after the completion of the slide opening, and the holding surface of the upper holding portion 27 is held. While coming into contact with 27a, they come into contact with the stopper portion 25. Therefore, the movement of the protrusion 31 is slowed down, and the contact sound is suppressed to a low level in combination with the elastically deformable elastic material. At the same time, since the rear end portion 7a of the sunshade 7 is clamped by the upper clamping portion 27 and the lower clamping portion 29, even when the vehicle suddenly stops, it does not slide forward due to the inertial force when the vehicle suddenly stops.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, the rear end portion 7a of the sunshade 7 rides on the projecting portion 31, so that the reaction force exerts a contact pressure that is strongly pressed to the upper clamping portion 27 side, so that a more reliable clamping is performed. The state will be obtained.

In this embodiment, the projecting portion 31 is provided on the lower holding portion 29 side, but it may be provided on the upper holding portion 27 side.

[0033]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the contact noise when the sunshade slides open, and to securely hold the rear end portion of the sunshade even when the vehicle suddenly stops. The forward movement can be reliably restrained.
