Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] This invention relates to a sun visor for automobiles.

As is well known, sun visors have traditionally been used by many users.
The shape is selected to match this and is formed to have as large a light-shielding area as possible, but the shape itself is generally fixed and cannot be changed significantly.

For this reason, there is a limit to the range of shading, and under conditions such as 0 o'clock when there is little sunlight or when the driver is not directly exposed to sunlight due to his physique and posture, the shading may be more than necessary. This is the current situation.

This obstructs the view in front of the vehicle, narrowing the field of view and resulting in a lack of safety while driving.

゛ ゛・The present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problem, and is a sun visor that can appropriately change the shading area depending on the sunlight conditions to maintain good visibility and drive safely. The purpose is to provide.

The present invention will be described in detail below based on examples.

In the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the main sun visor 1 has a horizontally long rectangular opening 2 at the center of its upper edge (in FIG. 1), and a support shaft 3 inside the vehicle. Both ends of the upper part of the holder are inserted through the holder and are rotatably supported.

Step-shaped engaging portions 2a are provided on both side edges and the lower edge of the opening 2 below the support shaft 3.

There is a rectangular sub-sun visor 4° whose shape matches the above-mentioned entrance part 21, and its upper edge is inserted through the support shaft 3 and rotatably supported.

The sun visor 4 is provided with a step-like engaging portion 4a that can be engaged with the engaging portion 2a of the opening 2 on both side edges and the lower edge of the sun visor 4 below the bundle axis 3.

Therefore, the sub-sun visor 4 can be housed within the opening 2 in the same plane.

Therefore, the sun visor of this example configured as described above is
As shown in Figure 2 A, insert the secondary □ into the opening 2 of the main visor visor.
Pull up the tty to the ceiling R side □ with the sun visor 4 stored.
M can be left unused and can be easily used depending on the situation.

In other words, when the vehicle is subject to strong driving force, simply move the main sash visor j to the windshield G from the state shown in Figure 2 A.
By lowering the sub-sun visor 4 toward , the sub-sun visor 4 can also be rotated integrally with the support shaft 3 as a common support shaft via the engaging edges 2a and 4a, and both 1 and 4 can be used together as shown in the figure. A wide area can be shaded.

On the other hand, when there is little sunlight, the main sun visor 1 is left unused and only the secondary sun visor 4 is lowered around the support shaft 3 toward the glass G, as shown in the figure, to reduce the amount of light necessary for the driver. Good forward visibility can be maintained while keeping the area shaded.

Then, when light shielding is not required, by simply pulling up the sub-sun visor 4, the sub-sun visor 4 and the main sun visor 1 can be put out of use as shown in FIG.

Note that the light shielding state shown in the above figure can be achieved by simply pulling up the main sun visor 1 from the above-mentioned frontage state.

In addition, in both the frontage and the light-shielding states, each sun visor 1.4 can be fixed at a predetermined position within its rotation range, so that a desired tilted light-shielding posture can be achieved.

In particular, in this example, by requiring the single common support shaft 3 as the pivot point for both sun visors 1 and 4, the number of parts can be reduced and the structure can be simplified.

The sun visor of the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is of a type in which the main and sub sun visors 1 and 4 are rotated on different axes, but is basically constructed in the same way as the previous example. There is.

That is, the main sun visor 1 supported by the support shaft 3 has a horizontally long rectangular opening 2 formed in its center.

On the other hand, the secondary sun visor 4 is formed into a rectangular shape that fits the opening 2, is attached to both sides of the support shaft 3, and is located between a pair of supports 5, 5 embedded in the main sun visor 1. The upper edge of the support shaft 6, which is supported and parallel to the support shaft 3, is inserted through and rotatably supported.

The sun visor 4 can be stored in the opening 2 in the same plane by using the engaging portion 4a of the sun visor 4 and the engaging portion 2a of the opening 2.

Therefore, in the sun visor of the second embodiment, by the same operation as that of the first embodiment, both the sun visors 1 and 4 are left in the same plane and unused as shown in FIG. A light-shielding state can be obtained by using both the sun visors 11 and 4 in combination, as shown in FIG.

The sun visors of either the first or second embodiment described above may be appropriately selected based on the effective light shielding area ratio of the main and sub sun visors 1.4.

Further, the sub-sun visor 4 may be provided with a suitable knob or the like.

As detailed above, the sun visor of the present invention allows the secondary sun visor to be stored in the opening formed in the main sun visor, and is rotatable in the same or opposite direction to the rotation direction of the main sun visor. Since the sun visors are attached to the vehicle, it is possible to arbitrarily select an appropriate shade area depending on the sunlight conditions that the driver receives, and the main and secondary sun visors completely block sunlight to achieve an appropriate shade condition. In particular, by using only the sub-sun visor, it is possible to maintain the widest possible front visibility while ensuring the minimum necessary range of light-shielding, thereby improving safety while driving.

In addition, the main feature of the present invention is that when light is blocked by the Gekiga sun visor, the same-diameter mating parts are overlapped in a staggered manner, so that sunlight does not leak through the gap between the two sun visors, and a complete light-shielding state can be ensured. Even a two-panel sun visor can provide the same light-shielding effect as a single-panel sun visor.

Furthermore, in the present invention, when the secondary sun visor is stored in the opening of the main sun visor, the surface of the secondary sun visor and the surface of the main sun visor become the same surface, which improves the storage condition of the secondary sun visor. This has the effect that the presence of the secondary sun visor does not get in the way, and the overall appearance is good.

In addition, since the present invention consists of a main sun visor and a sub sun visor that can be easily moved integrally or individually,
It is possible to give a sun visor a high-grade feel that could not be expected from conventional sun visors.
