Abstract

PURPOSE:To clearly reflect a face even at night, by forming a mirror unit of a sun visor with a mirror to a semi-transparent mirror, permeating light of a lamp unit provided to the rear face of a sun visor main unit through a part of the mirror unit and allowing the other part of the mirror unit to function as the mirror. CONSTITUTION:At night in the dark circumference when a crew-member in an assistant's seat can not reflect his face on a mirror unit 19, if a switch 30 is turned on to turn on a lamp 25, because the mirror unit 19 is formed to a semi- transparent mirror, light of the lamp 25 is propagated in a hollow part 18 to reach the mirror unit 19 with an almost 90 deg. incident angle for a right side rear face of the mirror unit 19, and the right side of the mirror unit 19 is luminous by permeating the light of the lamp 25. Since an opened one side part of a lamp unit housing 21 reaches a mirror holder 8, the light of the lamp 25 is shielded by the housing 21 not to reach the left side of the mirror unit 19, and the left side functions as a mirror. Accordingly, the face is reflected to the left side of the mirror unit 19 by the permeated light in the right side of the mirror unit 19, and the mirror unit 19 can be used as a vanity mirror.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a sun visor with a mirror that can be used as a vanity mirror even at night.

Examples of conventional sun visors with mirrors include those shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a substantially rectangular sun visor main body, and the sun visor main body 1 is rotatably attached to an oval-shaped support shaft 2, and a support shirt l-2 is attached to the ceiling of the vehicle via a base 3. It is rotatably attached to the

The sun visor body 1 consists of a core material 4 provided inside to maintain the shape of the sun visor body 1, and a polyvinyl chloride material formed into a bag shape by high frequency welding, and which constitutes the outer shape of the sun visor body 1. It is composed of a skin 5 and a foamed resin filler 6 interposed between the skin 5 and the core material 4.

A rectangular open lower part is bored in the approximate center of the skin 5. The outer surface of the outer periphery of a rectangular frame-shaped mirror holder 8 made of synthetic resin, which is slightly larger than the opening lower part, is bonded to the inner surface of the opening periphery of the opening lower part by high-frequency welding or adhesive. A mirror body 9 is fitted into the mirror holder 8.

Further, as shown in the figure, a lid 11 is attached to the outer surface of the lower peripheral portion of the mirror holder 8 via a resin hinge 10 so as to be able to freely cover the mirror body 9 and to be rotatable in the vertical direction. .

Reference numeral I2 denotes a fixing member such as a Velcro tape, which is provided on the lid 11 and the mirror holder 8, respectively, and allows the lid 11 to be attached to the mirror holder 8. Reference numeral 13 is a handle piece provided on the slit 11.

When using the mirror body 9 as a vanity mirror, hold the handle piece 13 by hand and pull the lid 11, which is fixed to the mirror holder 8 with a fixing member 12 and shields the mirror body 9, toward you and turn it. By moving it open, the mirror body 9 is exposed, and the mirror body 9
You can show your face, etc.

In addition, when the mirror body 9 is not used, the lid 1 is open.
1 is rotated so as to cover the mirror body 9, and the lid 11 is fixed to the mirror holder 8 by the fixing body 12, so that the mirror body 9 is shielded by the lid 11.

However, in such a conventional sun visor with a mirror, a mirror body 9 is provided on the sun visor body 1, but the distance between the mirror body 9 and a light source such as a room lamp installed in the vehicle interior is limited. Because of the distance between the mirror body 9 and the light source, when the mirror body 9 provided on the sun visor body 1 is used as a vanity mirror at night, the shadow of the occupant may be reflected on the mirror body 9 due to the positional relationship between the mirror body 9 and the light source. When using the mirror body 9, the light from the light source does not reach the mirror body 9 and the face cannot be photographed, or when attempting to photograph the face on the mirror body 9, the body must be tilted, and the mirror body 9 may be used in an awkward position. There was a problem that it had to be done.

This invention was made by focusing on the problems of the conventional sun visor body, and provides a light that can be turned on on the back side of the Sun 7 Miza body by using a semi-transparent mirror as the mirror body provided on the surface of the sun visor body. It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing a body and forming a light transmitting part in the sun visor body that allows the light from the lamp to reach a part of the back surface of the front ml mirror body.

The present invention will be explained below based on the drawings.

3 to 5 are diagrams showing a first embodiment of the present invention. In the drawings, parts or members that are the same or equivalent to those of the conventional example are given the same reference numerals and redundant explanations will be omitted.

Unlike the conventional example, a semi-transparent mirror body I9 is fitted into a frame-shaped mirror holder 8 that is joined to the outer skin 5 on the front side of the sun visor main body 1.

Furthermore, a housing receiver [120] is formed on the outer skin 5, which is the back side of the sun visor main body 1, at a rear position on the back side on the right side of the mirror body 19 in the figure. A hollow portion 18 is formed inside the sun visor main body 1 corresponding to the housing receiver r120 and is a light transmitting portion that exposes the right rear surface of the mirror body 19. On the back surface of the sun visor main body 1, a rectangular parallelepiped lamp storage housing 21 with one side open is provided, and several pieces 22 provided above and below are attached to the outer surface of the upper and lower housing socket periphery portions of the skin 5, respectively. It is attached by high frequency welding or adhesive. The light storage housing 2
One open side portion of mirror holder 1 is disposed within hollow portion 18, and its end reaches up to mirror holder 8.

Inside the lamp storage housing 21, a pair of L-shaped lamp brackets 23 are attached with screws 24 in an upper and lower arrangement. A lamp 25, which is a lamp, is supported by a pair of lamp support brackets 23.degree. 23, and the lamp 25 is positioned on the right side of the mirror body 19 and behind the back.

Further, a connector 26 is attached to the upper part of the lamp storage housing 21 by penetrating the wall, and the connector 26 is connected to the lamp 25 via a lead wire 27. Further, a cable 29 is connected to the connector 26 via a plug 28, and the cable 29 is connected to a power source (not shown) via a switch 30. As shown in Figure 3, the switch 30 is arranged near the right side of the mirror holder 8 in the sun visor body 1, and the operation button 30 of the switch 30
A is exposed from the skin 5 on the front side of the sun visor main body 1 so that it can be operated from the outside. Further, the lid 11 that can cover the mirror body 9 has a switch cover portion 11a formed by extending the right end portion in the figure.

Next, the action will be explained.

When using the mirror body 19 as a vanity mirror, the mirror body 19 can be used as a vanity mirror by opening the lid 11 and exposing the mirror body 19.

Since the surrounding area is bright during the day, the entire surface of the mirror body 19 is used as a mirror.

Next, at night, the surroundings are dark, and depending on the positional relationship between the mirror body 19 and a light source such as a room lamp, the face of the passenger sitting in the passenger seat may not be visible on the mirror body I9. In this case, when the switch 3o is turned on and the lamp 25 disposed inside the lamp storage housing 21 and located at the rear of the back on the right side in the figure of the mirror body 19 is lit, the mirror body 19
is a semi-transparent mirror, so the light from the lamp 25 passes through the hollow part 18 and reaches the mirror body 19 at an incident angle of about 9 degrees with respect to the right back surface of the mirror body 19, and the right side of the mirror body 19 The mirror body 19 transmits light and shines, and on the left side of the mirror body 19, one open side of the lamp storage housing 21 reaches the mirror holder 8, so the light from the lamp 25 is disposed within the hollow part 18. The light does not reach the left side of the mirror body 19 because it is blocked by the lamp storage housing 21, and some light leaking from the right side of the mirror body 19 is also reflected and does not shine, so that the left side of the mirror body 19 functions as a mirror. Therefore, the lamp 25 transmitted from the right side of the mirror body 19
The face illuminated by the light can be reflected on the left side of the mirror body 19, and the mirror body 19 can be used as a vanity mirror. Further, the right side of the mirror body 19 can also be used as a personal lamp.

Note that even if the open side of the lamp storage housing 21 does not reach the mirror body 8, the light from the lamp 25 is transmitted to the part facing the lamp 25, in this embodiment the right side of the mirror body 19. Since it has an incident angle of about 90 degrees with respect to the sun visor body 1, the light passes through the right side thereof, but the other part, that is, the left side of the mirror body 19, is blocked by the filling material 6 in the sun visor body 1.

Therefore, the left side of the mirror body 19 functions as a mirror.

Furthermore, when the mirror body] 9 is not used, the open lid 11 is rotated to cover the i-body 19, and the lid IJ is fixed to the mirror holder 8 with the fixing member 12.
A mirror body 9 is shielded by a lid 11. At this time, it is necessary to turn off the switch 30, and when the mirror body 19 is covered by the lid 11, the operation button 30a of the inch 30 is also hidden by the switch covering part 11a formed in the slit 11. .

In this embodiment, a lamp 25 is provided at the rear of the back on the right side of the mirror body 19.
However, it goes without saying that the lamp 25 may be located on the left side of the mirror body 19 and at the rear of the back surface.

FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment of the invention.

In this embodiment, the lamp 25 is placed horizontally behind the center of the mirror body 19, and of course the lamp storage housing 21 is also arranged horizontally.
Since it is similar to the embodiment, the explanation of the configuration will be omitted.

In this embodiment, the center of the mirror body 19 transmits the light from the lamp 25 and shines, and the surrounding parts except for the center of the mirror body 19 function as mirrors and operate in the same way as in the first embodiment. Therefore, the explanation of the effect will be omitted.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the mirror body provided on the surface of the sun visor body is a semi-transparent mirror, and the lamp body that can be turned on is provided on the back side of the sun visor body. Since a light transmitting part is formed in the sun visor body to allow the light from the lamp to reach a part of the back surface of the mirror, by opening the lid and turning on the lamp at night, the light from the lamp can be transmitted. When the light passes through the light transmitting part and reaches a part of the back surface of the mirror body, which is a semi-transparent mirror, at an incident angle of approximately 90 degrees, the light passes through a part of the mirror body and is transmitted through the back surface of the mirror body. Since the light from the lamp body does not reach the parts where the light is not located, the part of the mirror body that the light from the lamp body passes through will shine, and the other parts will function as a mirror, and if the light passes through a part of the mirror body, it will shine. The face illuminated by the light of the lamp can be reflected on the part of the mirror that functions as a mirror, and even at night when the lamp is turned on, the sun visor can be installed on the surface of the main body without tilting the body diagonally. The effect is that the lamp body can be used not only as a vanity mirror but also as a personal lamp.
