Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a sunshade provided at the lower part of a glass panel of a removable sunroof of a vehicle or a ship as a sunshade for the interior of the vehicle.

In recent years, many sunroofs have come into use, in which an opening is formed in the roof surface of a vehicle and a roof panel is fitted thereto so that it can be opened and closed.

This roof panel, which is usually made of iron plates, is mainly made of glass in removable models called moonroofs, and gradually glass is used in sunroofs that slide and are stored at the rear of the vehicle roof. are increasing.

This gives the occupants a sense of freedom.

However, this type of sunroof was developed in major European countries where direct sunlight is relatively weak.
When entering a country with strong sunlight, sun protection techniques are needed, such as printing sun shades on the glass surface or applying special coating techniques.

However, ordinary direct sunlight can cause discomfort to occupants due to the light and heat, and this is especially noticeable in the summer.

This effect is inconsistent with the above-mentioned sense of openness for the occupants, and both users and manufacturers are having difficulty in taking countermeasures.

Currently, there are some technologies for such sunshades, such as sunshields that are installed on glass panels, removable ones that cover the opening, and ones that can be opened and closed by being stored in the rear in a sliding manner. There are methods that change the transmittance of glass coatings, but their practical value has not yet been proven.

This proposal satisfies the sunroof function as a removable sunroof, is easy to use as a sunshade, is inexpensive, satisfies the aesthetics of the interior of the vehicle, and minimizes protrusions inside the vehicle. The aim is to provide a sunshade that satisfies customers, and the sunshade itself is made of plastic, making it semi-transparent, which is expected to have the special effect of letting in dim light that does not allow direct sunlight to enter the room. It is possible.

As a precedent related to the present application, there is Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 55-134315, but in this device, the sunshade is located below the glass panel, and its end is attached to a support member protruding from the end of the opening on the vehicle side. It is inserted rotatably, and the rear end is attached to a locking device at the bottom of the glass panel.

However, this structure has various drawbacks because the idea of installing the sunshade is fundamentally different from the original proposal. In other words, a protrusion is formed at the vehicle opening, impairing the beauty and safety of the interior of the vehicle, and because it is provided between the vehicle side and the glass panel, it prevents movement and vibration between the vehicle and the glass panel when the vehicle is running. However, it was necessary to accommodate these differences, which caused problems in terms of strength and durability.When opening the glass panel, it was necessary to first remove the sunshade, and when storing it, it was also necessary to do so separately. .

Furthermore, apart from the above-mentioned precedent, there are also cases where a frame etc. is provided at the bottom of the glass panel and a sunshade is attached there, but this greatly increases the weight of the glass panel itself, becomes expensive, and requires a mechanism for installing the sunshade. was incomplete and posed a great danger to the passengers inside the vehicle.

For this reason, the structure of the present invention provides a plastic sunshade as a sunshade that fits into the opening at the bottom of the glass panel. In the front thereof, this suitably forms an insertion part, which engages and holds the inserted member fixed to the lower part of the glass panel.

In addition, a rotary locking/detachment mechanism is provided at the rear, which facilitates the installation and removal of the sunshade from the glass panel.

This mechanism is rotatably held on the sunshade side, has an engaging member with a T-shaped side surface and a rectangular cross-section fitting part at the tip, is fixed to the lower part of the glass panel, has a rectangular engaging groove, and is covered inside. It consists of an engaged member having an engaging part, and after engagement, the rotating part such as a knob on the compartment surface of the engaging member is rotated approximately 90 degrees and locked.
Hold.

This rotating part should be as small as possible due to the limitations of the protrusions inside the vehicle compartment, and in the present invention, a groove into which a normal coin can be inserted is provided, and the coin is inserted into this groove and rotated.

The sunshade component of this sunshade satisfies its function even if it is made of plastic material alone, but a trim made of the same material as the interior material may be attached to the lower part, and the ventilation effect by lifting the rear part can be sufficiently performed. It is best to bend the rear part diagonally backwards.

To explain with reference to the figures, in Figures 1, 2, and 3, Figure 1 is an external view of the upper part of the vehicle, and Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of A.
-A front part, and FIG. 3 shows the rear part of cross section A-A, an opening 2 is formed in the vehicle roof 1, and a glass panel 3 is removably fitted into the opening 2. There is a mail 5 in front of the vehicle that acts as a hinge when tilting for ventilation, and a female mail 6 on the vehicle body side that is engaged.

In order to attach the mail 5 to the glass panel 3, a bolt 5c is fastened to a nut 5a via a spacer 5b.

Further, at the rear, there is a lifting device 2 such as a jack mechanism, which tilts the entire glass panel 3.

A weather strip 4 is attached to the periphery of the glass panel 3, and a rain gutter 8 is formed around the opening, which extends inward of the opening, and a sealing strip 9 as a seal is attached to the interior material. 10 is pressed and installed.

Opening 2 with this sealing strip 9
is substantially the same size as the sunroof, and from this area of the upper glass panel 3 light and heat enter, and when necessary, the rear part is raised to provide ventilation.

However, although the amount of light passing through the glass panel 3 is reduced to some extent by various methods, the heat and light caused by strong solar radiation can cause discomfort to the occupants.

For this reason, a removable sun shade called a sunshade is provided in the area corresponding to this opening. This has a sunshade member 11 at the bottom of the glass panel 3, and an insert member 12 and an inserted member 1 as holding members for the sunshade member 11.
3. It has an engaging member 14 and an engaged member 15, and the relationship between the engaging member 14 and the engaged member 15 is such that the fitting part 16 of the engaging member 14 has a T-shaped side surface and a rectangular cross section. , a fitted portion 1 formed on the engaged member 15 by passing through the rectangular engagement groove 17 of the engaged member 15
5A, and then the engaging member 14 is approximately 90
It is rotated by .degree. and is engaged and held by the engaged portion 18 of the engaged member 15.

As shown in FIGS. 4, 5, and 6 as a first embodiment of such attachment/detachment method, a plastic sunshade member 21 is provided below the glass panel 3, and this has an insertion portion 22 in the front thereof, It is inserted into and held in the inserted portion 24A of the inserted member 24 fixed to the glass panel 3 with an adhesive 23 or the like. Reference numeral 25 is a hole or groove for storing the adhesive 23.

In the present invention, the inserted member 24 has a convex portion 26 having a spherical cross section inside thereof, which facilitates insertion and removal of the insertion portion 22 and prevents vibrations and the like.

At the rear, after the front is inserted, an engaging member 30 that is rotated and locked near the rear is locked to an engaged member 31 that is fixed to the glass panel 3 with an adhesive 23. This has a hole or groove 32 in which the adhesive 23 accumulates at the part where it is fixed to the glass surface.

The fitting portion 34 has a T-shaped side surface and a rectangular cross section.
C, and then the engaging member 30 is fitted into the
By rotating it by 90 degrees, it is locked and held by the engaged portion 31B of the engaged member 31.

At this time, the T-shaped central concave portion 30A of the fitting portion 34 of the engaging member 30 engages with the convex portion 33 of the engaged member 31 to prevent the locking from loosening due to vibrations of the vehicle, etc. .

The engagement member 30 is rotatably attached to the hole of the sunshade member 21 by a presser member 35 and a stop washer 36,
This head is used as a rotation knob, and is further provided with an arc-shaped long groove 37, as shown in FIG.
A coin 38 can be inserted into this long groove 37 and rotated.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, a trim 40 of the same type as the interior material 10 inside the vehicle is attached to the lower part of the plastic sunshade member 21, and a welt 41 is attached around this trim 40 to serve as an end stop.

With the above-described structure, removal can be accomplished by rotating the engaging portion, releasing the lock, and then removing the front insertion.

Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the glass panel 3 and the sunshade holding member were fixed with adhesive, but
In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, it is bolted to a glass panel. In the figure, the inserted member 5
1 is a hole 3 opened in the glass from the outside of the glass
A bolt 53 is fastened to a nut member 52 fitted in A, a hole 56 for the bolt is opened, and 54 and 55 are sealing materials for the nut. The engaged member 61 is fastened with a bolt 63 to a nut member 52 that is fitted from the outside of the glass.
It has 62 sealants. The engaging member 64, the long groove 66 of the head, the presser member 67, and the locking washer 68 have the same functions as in the first embodiment, but have different dimensions because of the bolt 63.

To compensate for the lack of explanation in this proposal, the sunshade member as a sunshade may be made only of plastic material, the same type of trim as the interior material may be attached to the lower part, or it may be made of other iron plates or similar materials. .

The number of inserting members and engaging members may be arbitrarily provided, and the same effect can be obtained even if the front-to-back relationship is changed, and a configuration including only engaging members and engaged members is also possible.

Furthermore, both the inserted and engaged members can be used in common, and by changing the orientation by 90 degrees, the functions of both members can be performed.

The integrally molded insert member may be manufactured separately and fixed to the sunshade member with bolts or rivets.

The rear part of the sunshade member is bent to provide ventilation or increase the amount of ventilation when it is lifted.
This has the same effect as a sunshade even if it is not bent.

The effect of locking the engaging member and the engaged member by rotation may be as long as they are simply fitted and rotated, and that there may be one or more engaging locations. Further, a suitable locking washer or locking member may be added to prevent the engaging member from rotating.

In the above description, it has been explained that the engagement member is rotated by a coin, but it is also possible to attach a coin-like object to the engine key or key chain of the vehicle.

In the above configuration, the inserted member and the engaged member have a convex portion, and the engaging portion has a concave portion to increase their effect, but the present invention can be configured even without these convex portions and concave portions.

The removable holding method for the sunshade constructed in this way is easy to handle; at the front, the insertion part of the sunshade itself made of plastic material is inserted into the lower part of the glass panel, and at the rear, the sunshade itself is inserted into the lower part of the glass panel. All you have to do is insert a member with a rectangular tip into the elongated hole of the member, and then rotate it slightly to lock it in place.

In this case, the internal convex protrusion and round bolt head fit well into the recess of the engaging member of the plastic member, thereby preventing vibration and rattling when the vehicle is running. Moreover, this effect is even better if the insertion portion and the engagement portion are appropriately implanted with hair.

Normally, the head of this engaging part, which is limited by the protrusions inside the vehicle interior, is rotated using a coin or engine key, so the head itself can be made extremely small and can be turned easily, making it a great decoration for the interior of the vehicle. It doesn't make it unsightly.

Furthermore, each member is constructed mainly of plastic material and is lightweight, making it very suitable as a member of a vehicle.

Such a sunshade can be left removed when daylight or an open view is required inside the car, or when the sun's rays are not strong, and it can be easily installed when strong sunlight or the heat and light that comes with it cause discomfort. is possible,
It is easy to store and can be used even by girls and children.

This sunshade can be removed from the opening, retracted, and left open while still being held in the glass panel.Also, by attaching a trim made of the same material as the interior material to the underside of the sunshade, the interior of the vehicle can be The interior design can be accepted without any resistance.

As mentioned above, when the glass panel is tilted, this tilts together and can perform sufficient ventilation. Furthermore, in this proposal, the sunshade can be fixed to the bottom of the glass panel with a simple and inexpensive member that is easy to handle and strong, and has sufficient strength and durability to withstand movement and vibration of the glass panel when the vehicle is running. Since there are no protrusions on the opening of the vehicle, it is effective from an aesthetic and safety point of view.

In particular, by making the sun shade plastic, it is possible to use a semi-transparent one that allows only soft light to pass through, and by changing its coloring, passengers can enjoy a variety of lighting colors, allowing passengers to freely select and use the sun shade. The effects are also promising.
