Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a sun visor structure that allows a speaker to be mounted near the front ceiling of an automobile.

There are various restrictions on where speakers can be installed in in-vehicle audio systems, and it is often impossible to install speakers there even if the speakers are excellent in terms of acoustics. It is convenient to install a speaker near the ceiling, especially when obtaining sound from the front, but since a sun visor is already installed near the intersection of the windshield and the ceiling, the speaker should be placed within its movable range. If the sun visor is attached, the movement of the sun visor is restricted. One possible solution to this problem is to attach a speaker to the sun visor itself. According to this method, the original movability of the sun visor is not impaired at all. However, since the direction of the speaker changes depending on the orientation of the sun visor, it is necessary to give sufficient consideration to the accompanying change in the acoustic effect.

The present invention aims to provide a sun visor structure in which the mobility of a speaker is not impaired even when a speaker is attached to the front ceiling portion near the windshield of an automobile.

The present invention rotates the sun visor body, which is pivotally supported near the intersection between the automobile windshield and the ceiling, so that its surface faces the ceiling surface when not in use.
In addition, when blocking light from the front, a sun visor is used by rotating it to face the windshield, and a part of the sun visor body is displaced only when it collides with the speaker attached to the ceiling surface. The present invention is characterized in that it serves as a displaceable light shielding portion that allows sound from the speaker to pass through, and this will be described in detail below with reference to the illustrated embodiment.

Fig. 1 shows a sun visor showing an embodiment of the present invention, 1 is the sun visor main body, 2a and 2b are double doors (displaceable light shielding parts) provided at the center of the upper part, and 3 is the main body 1 in the direction of arrow A. This is a support shaft that is rotatably supported in the direction of the arrow B, and is itself rotatable in the direction of the arrow B. The doors 2a and 2b are supported by the main body 1 with, for example, spring-loaded hinges, and when no external force is applied, the doors 2a and 2b are supported by the main body 1.
Keep it closed and on the same side. Figure 2 is an explanatory diagram showing how this sun visor is used. 4 is the ceiling of the car, 5 is the side glass, 6 is the windshield,
7 is a speaker, and 8 is its support. The speaker 7 is attached to the ceiling 4 by a support 8, and its sound wave output surface is directed toward the driver's seat (or passenger seat). If the speaker 7 is installed in such a position, the speaker 7 will get in the way when the main body 1 is made parallel to the ceiling 4 and the front field of vision is expanded as shown in FIG. 2a in the conventional sun visor structure. However, in this example, when the main body 1 rotates to the position where it collides with the speaker 7, the doors 2a and 2b open from then on.
The main body 1 can be opened in four directions toward the ceiling to sufficiently expand the front field of view, and moreover, the sound shower S from the speaker 7 can be sufficiently given to the listener. b
is a state in which the main body 1 is rotated in the direction of arrow A ₁ from the state a when blocking the light L _F from the front.
When the surface of the main body 1 is rotated so as to face the windshield 6, the doors 2a and 2b are separated from the speaker 7, and are automatically closed by the action of the spring, thereby reliably blocking light L _F from the front. In c, the main body 1 is further rotated in the direction of arrow B ₁ from the state in b, and the light L _S is emitted from the side.
This is a case where the In this case, the doors 2a and 2b will be opened once and the side glass 5 will pass through the speaker position.
It closes again nearby and blocks the light L _S.

3 and 4 are other embodiments of the present invention,
In either case, the application is limited to blocking only the light L _F from the front (blocking of the side light L _S is not considered)
It is. In the example shown in FIG. 3, a single-swing door 2c is provided in the upper center of the sun visor body 1.
When the main body 1 is rotated toward the ceiling 4 and is not in use (solid line state), the door 2c abuts against the speaker 7 and opens, allowing the sound tower S to pass through. On the other hand, the state in which the main body 1 is rotated toward the windshield 6 side (2
In the dashed dotted line), the door 2c is closed and integrated with the main body 1, blocking light L _F from the front. The example in Figure 4 is door 2c.
This part is replaced with a stretchable cloth 9. This cloth 9 is a material that allows sound to pass through but does not allow light to pass through. Even in this case, when the main body 1 is rotated in the direction of the ceiling 4 as shown by the solid line, the cloth 9 is stretched by the speaker 7, so there is no problem in installing the speaker 7. When rotated toward the windshield 6, the cloth 9 is in a contracted state and blocks light L _F from the front.

As described above, according to the present invention, the speaker can be attached to the ceiling in front of the sun visor without impairing its movability and light-shielding properties.

[Brief description of the drawings]

FIGS. 1 and 2 are explanatory diagrams showing one embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 3 and 4 are explanatory diagrams showing other embodiments of the present invention, respectively. In the figure, 1 is the sun visor body, 2a to 2c, 9 is a movable light shielding part, 3 is a spindle, 4 is a ceiling, 6 is a windshield, 7 is a speaker, L _F is light from the front, S is a sound shower It is.

Claims (1)
