Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle interior sun visor which is mounted inside a vehicle such as a passenger car or a truck.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a sun visor for a vehicle interior, there has already been a sun visor in which an upper edge of a plate-like member is rotatably attached in a vertical direction to a front portion of the interior of a vehicle through a horizontal axis of rotation. in use.

[0003]

It is desirable that the height of the lower edge of the sun visor for a vehicle interior can be adjusted at will depending on the sitting height of the vehicle driver, the angle of incidence of sunlight on the vehicle, and the like. For example, a car driver with a low sitting height needs to have a lower lower edge of a sun visor for a vehicle interior than a car driver with a high sitting height. Further, when the incident angle of the sun rays on the automobile is low, it is necessary to lower the lower edge of the vehicle interior sun visor than when the incident angle is high. However, in the above conventional sun visor for automobiles, the height of the lower edge of the plate-shaped body can be adjusted only within a limited narrow range by rotating the plate-shaped body in the vertical direction. The height of the lower edge of the shaped body cannot be arbitrarily adjusted depending on the sitting height of the vehicle driver, the angle of incidence of sun rays on the vehicle, and the like. The present invention has been made to solve such a problem in the conventional sun visor for a vehicle interior.

[0004]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides the following automobile interior sun visor.

(2) Each of the plate-shaped component members is connected to another plate-shaped component member via a connector, and the connector and the horizontal rotating shaft respectively adjust the frictional force at the time of rotation. It is desirable to enable it (Claim 2).

(3) In the connecting device, the first tubular member is fixed to one plate-forming member of the pair of plate-forming members connected to each other via the connecting device, and the other is connected to the other plate-forming member. A pair of second tubular bodies are fixed to the plate-like body forming member in a state of being positioned near both ends of the first tubular body, and an inner tubular body is provided inside each second tubular body. It is attached to the tubular body so as not to be rotatable and axially movable back and forth, and one end of the second tubular body of one is not rotatable in the inner tubular body and the other tubular direction of the inner tubular body is opposite to the second tubular body. A bolt mounted immovably on the first tubular body and the inner tubular body of the other second tubular body,
A nut is screwed onto the other end of the bolt projecting from the inner tubular body of the other second tubular body, and the inner tubular body of each second tubular body is first tubular by tightening the nut. It is desirable that it be formed so as to be pressed against the body (claim 3).

[Action]

[Vehicle interior sun visor according to claim 1] In the vehicle interior sun visor according to claim 1, a plurality of plate-shaped body constituting members constituting the plate-shaped body are respectively rotated in the vertical direction or in the vertical direction. By holding at a desired angle, the height of the lower edge of the plate-shaped body can be arbitrarily adjusted according to the sitting height of the vehicle driver, the angle of incidence of sunlight on the vehicle, and the like.

[Sun visor for automobiles according to claim 2]
The automobile interior sun visor according to claim 2, wherein each plate-shaped member is adjusted by adjusting a frictional force at the time of rotation of the connecting tool that connects each plate-shaped member and the horizontal rotation shaft. Can be folded into a desired configuration.
For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the plate-shaped body 1 is composed of three plate-shaped body constituting members 1 a, 1 b, and 1 c, the horizontal rotation shaft 3 at the upper edge of the plate-shaped body 1 is arranged. The frictional force becomes maximum, the frictional force of the connector 5a between the uppermost plate-shaped member 1a and the intermediate plate-shaped member 1b becomes medium, and the intermediate plate-shaped member 1b and the lowermost plate-shaped member 1b It can be adjusted so that the frictional force of the connecting member 5b between the plate-shaped member 1c and the plate-shaped member 1c is minimized. In this case, the horizontal connecting shaft 5 and the connecting member 5a are not rotated to rotate the connecting member 5b.
Only the plate-shaped member 1c is folded by rotating only
Alternatively, the connecting tool 5a can be used without rotating the horizontal rotating shaft 3.
And the connecting member 5b are rotated to rotate the plate-shaped member 1b, 1c.
It is also easy to fold. It is also possible to adjust the frictional force at the time of rotation of the connecting tool for connecting the respective plate-shaped component members and the horizontal rotating shaft to a state different from the above.

[Sun visor for automobiles according to claim 3]
In the connector for an automobile interior sun visor according to claim 3, when the nut is tightened, the nut comes into contact with the inner tubular body of the other second tubular body,
The one end of the bolt is non-rotatably attached to the inner tubular body of the one second tubular body and immovable in the direction of the other second tubular body with respect to the inner tubular body. Further, each inner cylindrical body is not rotatable with respect to each second cylindrical body and is movable back and forth in the axial direction. Therefore, when the nut is tightened, the inner tubular body of each second tubular body is pressed against the first tubular body. In other words, the pressure at which the inner tubular body of each second tubular body contacts the first tubular body is adjusted by the tightening degree of the nut, and thus the inner tubular body and the first tubular body of each second tubular body are adjusted. The frictional force with the tubular body can be adjusted.
