Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To secure the forward field of view by hinging a second mirror stay projectingly provided on the back surface of a rear view mirror to a first mirror stay in the frictional engaging state so that the vertical turning movement adjusting position may be held. SOLUTION: Guide grooves 25 connected to each other on the end of the opposite side to a hinge of a sun visor 10, extending in the longitudinal direction of a vehicle, and for guiding a ball joint 36 of a first mirror stay 35 in the frictional engaging state so that the vertical turning movement adjusting position may be held are formed on both surfaces of the sun visor 10 at the center parts in the vehicle width direction A second mirror stay 34 projectingly provided on the back surface of a rear view mirror 30 is hinged to the first mirror stay 35 in the frictional engaging state so that the vertical turning movement adjusting position may be held. Therefore, the forward filed of view is secured regardless of the housing state or the using state of the sun visor 10, and the rear view mirror 30 can be used.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rear view mirror-equipped sun visor in which a rear view mirror is provided side by side with a sun visor in a front portion of an interior of an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Japanese Laid-Open Utility Model Publication No. 5-74990 discloses a rearview mirror in which auxiliary rearview mirrors are supported by ball joints on both lateral sides or upper sides of a main rearview mirror. This makes it possible to widen the rear visual field of the driver without enlarging the main rearview mirror.

[0003]

However, the rearview mirror having a plurality of rearview mirrors is for a driver only, and has a small mirror surface for rearward confirmation from the passenger seat, and therefore has a sufficient function. I can't fulfill.

In view of this point, an object of the present invention is to provide a sun visor with a rearview mirror which can secure a front view and add a rearview mirror.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve this object, the present invention has an advantage that a vehicle front end portion of a sun visor rotates vertically between a storage position along a roof and a use position rotated downward. The movable portion is hinged to the roof portion so that the sun visor can travel in the vehicle front-rear direction continuously on both sides of the central portion in the vehicle width direction of the sun visor, at the ends on the side opposite the hinge of the sun visor, and Guide grooves are formed to guide the base of the mirror stay in a frictionally engaged state so as to hold at least the upper and lower rotational adjustment positions, and the first mirror stay is provided with a first groove protruding from the rear surface of the rear view mirror. It is characterized in that the second mirror stay is hinged in a frictionally engaged state so that the upper and lower rotational adjustment positions are held.

At the storage position of the sun visor, the first mirror stay is run in the guide groove on the lower surface of the sun visor, and
The direction of the rearview mirror is appropriately set by adjusting the rotational positions of both mirror stays. At the use position of the sun visor, the travel of the first mirror stay is adjusted according to the position. When the sun visor is pivoted far downwards, it travels across the end of the sun visor into the guide groove on the upper surface at the stowed position. Each time the traveling is adjusted, the directions of the rearview mirrors are appropriately set by adjusting the rotational positions of both mirror stays.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A sun visor with a rearview mirror according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 is
The sun visor includes a frame 11, and a base end portion thereof is supported by a support shaft 12 provided below the roof headlining 1 of the passenger seat. A block bracket 20 made of a synthetic resin and having a bearing hole 21 at the base end is attached between the frames 11 at the center of the sun visor in the vehicle width direction. The support shaft 12 is mounted in the bearing hole 21 with frictional engagement, and the retaining pin is set, whereby the sun visor 10
The front end of the vehicle is hinged so as to be rotatable between a storage position along the roof headlining 1 and an arbitrary use position below.

On both surfaces of the bracket 20 ahead of the base end, these surfaces run in the vehicle front-rear direction and are continuous with each other at the end on the non-hinge side of the sun visor 10 and guide the ball joint 36. A long groove-shaped guide groove 25 is formed. The guide groove has a circular cross section in the vehicle width direction, and a cut 25a is formed in the radial direction so as to bend the periphery. As a result, the ball joint 36 is mounted in the guide groove 25 by utilizing its elastic deflection, and the rotational position of the ball joint 36 is held in a frictionally engaged state.

The mirror stay 35 connected to this ball joint has a mirror stay 34 connected to the ball joint 33 attached to the rear surface of the rearview mirror 30, as shown in FIG. A hinge pin 37 is inserted by superimposing 35a and 34a in a shape-complementary manner, and they are crimped so that their ends are frictionally engaged with each other. As a result, the rearview mirror 30 is held at the upper and lower rotation adjustment positions by the friction between the engagement surfaces of the end portions 35a and 34a. The rear view mirror 30 includes a lever 32 for adjusting and operating the vertical, horizontal and left and right rotational positions of the rear view mirror body 31.

The operation and use of the sun visor with a rearview mirror thus constructed will be described with reference to FIG. When the sun visor 10 is stored along the roof headlining 1 (see FIG. A), the ball joint 36
Is positioned on the lower surface 10a of the sun visor 10 along the guide groove 25, the mirror stay 35 is directed downward,
The rearview mirror 30 is set at a position visible from the passenger seat by turning the mirror stay 34 toward the rear of the vehicle. The mirror stay 35 can be slightly adjusted in the vehicle width direction by a ball joint 36.

When the sun visor 10 is used, the sun visor 10 is rotated downward to the use position (see FIG. B) and
The ball joint 36 is moved to the upper surface 10b, and the mirror stays 34 and 35 are directed toward the rear of the vehicle. When the use angle of the sun visor 10 is shallow, it is sufficient to simply drive the sun visor 10 toward the front side in the guide groove 25 of the lower surface 10a.

In the above-described embodiment, the base portion of the mirror stay 35 may be formed in a cylindrical shape so that the rotation thereof can be adjusted only in the vertical direction, instead of the ball joint 36, and the base portion of the mirror stay 35 may be frictionally engaged with the guide groove. it can. In the above embodiment,
Although the description has been made for the passenger seat, it is also possible to configure the sun visor in the driver's seat as a small auxiliary rearview mirror for the driver.

[0013]

According to the present invention, a rearview mirror is added to the sun visor without limiting the driver's forward field of view. By installing side by side along the front and back sides of the sun visor,
It can be used regardless of the storage and use conditions of the sun visor. A rearview mirror can be added to the sun visor in the passenger seat without obstructing the driver's front view, and thus can be used as a passenger instructor in a driving school or as a police car.
