Background Art

[2] In order to decrease introduction of a direct ray of light, a window film is generally adhered to a window of a vehicle or a shading means such as a curtain or the like is installed to the window.

[3] However, it is prohibited to adhere a window film on a front window on the ground of safety, and it is also difficult to install a shading means such as a curtain thereto.

[4] Accordingly, an inventor of this application has suggested a shade assembly that may be installed to an upper portion of a front window or a side window of a vehicle, as disclosed in Korean Utility Model Registration Filing No. 2003-11851.

[5] The above prior art is not described in brief with reference to FIG. 1. As shown in

FIG. 1, the shade assembly includes an installation member 5 fixed to a vehicle and having a length adjustment function, a sliding member 200 coupled to the installation member 5 and having a plurality of connectors 8 and a cover (not shown) that is a final connector, a shade 15 coupled to one side of the connector 8, and a holder (not shown) installed to a lower portion of the window of a vehicle and fixing the cover.

[6] Here, the cover, the sliding member, and the holder, not shown, are already well il¬ lustrated in the above document and not described here.

[7] The installation member 5 includes an attachment plate 2 fixed to the upper portion of the front or side window of a vehicle, and a connector fixing member 4. An adhesive tape Ia is adhered to the back of the attachment plate 2 to fix the shade at an installation portion. A mail gear Ib for adjusting an angle is protruded at the center of a front surface, and a coupling hole Ic is prepared in an outer side of the mail gear Ib.

[8] The connector fixing member 4 coupled to the attachment plate 2 and into an outer side of which the connector 8 is inserted is configured so that a female gear 3a to be engaged with the mail gear Ib formed on the attachment plate 2 is installed at the center of the back surface, two guide protrusions 3b protruded outward are formed on a front surface, and an elongated hole 3c for screwing a bolt B is formed in the inside of the guide protrusions 3b.

[9] Thus, in order to mount the shade assembly, the attachment plate 2 is firstly adhered to the top of the front window, and then the connector fixing member 4 should be mounted to the front surface of the attachment plate 2. For this purpose, the elongated hole 3 and the coupling hole Ic should be matched with each other and then screwed using a predetermined bolt B.

[10] The above shade assembly gives an excellent effect of shading a direct ray of light, so it is used more and more, but the shade has some problems as below.

[11] First, the attachment plate configuring the installation member is attached to a window using an adhesive tape added to its back surface, but its adhesive force is weak since the attachment tape is made of synthetic resin with regular thickness and area, and a local strength of the shade is low since the attachment plate installed in the shade fixed to both sides of the connector has a " — " shape.

[12] In addition, the plurality of connectors may be unfolded unexpectedly, and when being unfolded, holder portions at lower ends of the connectors are rotated toward an operator to make the attachment plate be floated on the window.

[13] Second, since the shade is conventionally coupled to the insert grooves formed in both sides of the connectors, the shade may be deformed after a long time use and apt to be separated from the insert grooves.

[14] Third, since an inner space of a vehicle is very limited and the front window is inclined, a work may take a very inconvenient posture, and also much time is required since a plurality of bolts should be screwed.

[15] In addition, the bolts may be dropped and lost while being unscrewed or screwed, and a lost bolt may not be easily found very inconveniently, and also a large number of parts result in increase of manufacture costs. Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem

A cover 200' having a coupling hole 200" protruded outward is coupled to the lowermost connector 7' connected in plural so that a support rod 23' of the holder is inserted and coupled in the coupling hole, thereby supporting a plurality of unfolded connectors and preventing them from being drooped inward.

[47] The connector fixing member 5' is configured as shown in FIG. 2 so that a guide rail 2' for coupling the connectors 7' is formed on its front surface, and the attachment plate 4' to which an adhesive tape is attached is coupled to its back surface, and a magnetic attachment member 3' separated in plural is additionally provided to both sides of the attachment plate 4'.

[48] The magnetic attachment member 3' is shaped to have a gradually decreased thickness outward and has a certain elasticity.

[49] The magnetic attachment member 3' configured as above is closely adhered to the window having a curved shape, thereby increasing an adhesive force as much.

[50] In addition, a reinforcing plate 8' is installed in the shade 10' coupled to both sides of the connectors 7'. The reinforcing plate 8' is bent into a "D" shape so that its outer end is oriented downward, thereby increasing an elastic force of the shade 10'.

[51] In this connection, though an indoor temperature is increased high, the shade 10' is not deformed but keeps its original shape.

[52] In addition, the fixing clip 15' is installed to prevent the connectors 7' overlapped in plural from being falling down when a car body is seriously shaken due to external impacts while a vehicle is running.

[53] The fixing clip 15' is configured as shown in FIG. 2 so that its upper and lower portions are bent inward. Namely, the fixing clip 15' has a support 12' provided to its lower portion to support a bottom of the connectors 7', and an adjustment lever 13' provided to its upper portion for a driver to rotate right and left, which is inserted into an adjustment groove 5a' vertically formed in the attachment plate 4'.

[54] In addition, the holder 25' has the support rod 23' for preventing the unfolded connectors 7' from being drooped inward. As shown in FIG. 4, the holder 25' includes a substrate 16' adhered to a lower portion of the window, a cover 17 having a lower portion inclined at a certain angle and integrally coupled to the substrate 16', three permanent magnets 18' buried in the cover 17' to keep 90° in a "T" shape, an elastic member 18 a' horizontally fixed to upper and lower portions of the permanent magnets 18', a support rod 23' fixed to a clip 22' integrally coupled to a movable member 20' se¬ lectively united to the permanent magnets 18', and a bolt 24' for firmly fixing the substrate 16' and the cover 17' of the holder 25'.

[66] The connector 10" has a coupling member protruded on its front surface in a vertical direction, and a slide groove 3" formed in its back surface to be coupled with a coupling member of another connector, and wings 5" bent in one direction are ad¬ ditionally formed in both sides of the connector.

[67] The wing 5" has an insert groove 6" for inserting an inner end of the shade 20" therein, and reinforcing members 8" are additionally formed in the insert groove 6" at regular intervals.

[68] The reinforcing members 8" are arranged at regular intervals with keeping a constant gap, and they play a role of stably supporting the shade 20" by increasing strength of the wings 5" that compress an outer surface of the shade 20".

[69] As shown in FIG. 8, the shade 20" coupled to the connectors 10" includes two films with different functions, namely a shading film 13" formed on its inner surface by adding a UV screener and a reflective film 16" formed on its outer surface and functioning to emit a direct ray of light by depositing aluminum power are integrally united.

[70] Inside the shading film 13" and the reflective film 16", an elastic member 17" for keeping elasticity of the shade 20" is additionally provided.

[71] At the inner end of the shade 20" to which the elastic member 17" is horizontally added, a cut portion 18" having a "c" shape is formed in the same line as the re¬ inforcing member 8" formed in the insert groove 6", and a plurality of through holes 19" are formed at regular intervals.

[72] FIG. 9 is a partially-sectioned perspective view showing an example of a shading film that configures the shade in FIG. 8, FIG. 10 is a partially-sectioned perspective view showing an example of a reflective film in FIG. 8, and FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing the shade of FIG. 6.

[73] Configuration of the shade 20" is described in more detail as follows.

[74] As shown in FIG. 9, the shading film 13" is configured by adhering a transparent heatproof film 11" having an adhesive layer 1 Ia" formed on its inner surface and coated with an adhesive and a viscous liquid coating layer 1 Ib" formed on its outer surface and containing a UV screener, and another transparent heatproof film 12" having a damage-resistant layer 12a" coated on its outer surface.

[75] In addition, the reflective film 16" integrally adhered with the shading film 13" is configured by adhering a transparent heatproof film 14" having an adhesive layer 14a" coated on its outer surface and a viscous liquid coating layer 14b" coated on its outer surface and containing a UV screener, and another transparent heatproof film 15" having a reflective layer 15a" coated on its outer surface and to which aluminum powder is deposited in a uniform thickness, as shown in FIG. 10.

[76] Also, in order to prevent the shade 20" from being deformed due to high temperature of the direct ray of light, an elastic member 17" is installed to insides of the shading film 13" and the reflective film 16". [77] The connectors 10" and the shade 20" configured as above are coupled by combining the inner end of the shade 20" into the insert groove 6" of the connectors 10".

[78] At this time, the cut portion 18" formed in the shade 20" is coincided with the re¬ inforcing member 8" formed in the insert groove 6" so as to prevent upward or downward movement and ensure correct coupling to one side without any inclination.

[79] While the shade 20" is coupled in the insert groove 6" of the wing 5", as shown in

FIG. 7, supersonic waves are irradiated to an outside of the wing 5", namely to a portion corresponding to the through hole 19" formed in the shade 20".

[80] If supersonic waves are irradiated as mentioned above, the wings 5" surrounding the shade 20" is melt and penetrated into the through hole 19".

[81] Thus, as shown in FIG. 8, while materials penetrated into the through hole 19" are cured, ribs 9" integrally connected to both wings 5" are formed so that the shade 20" is firmly fixed by the reinforcing member 8", the wings 5" and the ribs 9".

[82] Hereinafter, a shade assembly for a vehicle according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[83] FIG. 12 is an exploded perspective view showing an installation member in a shade assembly for a vehicle according to a third embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 13 is a perspective view showing a coupled state of FIG. 11, FIG. 14 is a sectional view taken along the line I-I of FIG. 12, and FIG. 15 is a sectional view taken along the line IMI of FIG. 12.

[84] The overall configuration of the shade assembly according to the third embodiment is basically conforming to that disclosed in Korean Utility Model Registration Filing No. 2003-11851, and the same reference numeral is used for the same component.

[85] That is to say, an installation member 5 is installed to a window of a vehicle, and connectors 8 having a shade 15 formed on their side is coupled to the installation member 5 to be capable of sliding up an down.

[86] The installation member 5 includes an attachment plate 2 having an adhesive tape

(not shown) on its back surface and attached to a window (not shown) of a vehicle, and a connector fixing member 4 coupled to the front surface of the attachment plate 2 and having magnetic attachment members 22a, 22b installed to its upper and lower portions, as shown in FIG. 2.

[87] In addition, the connector 8 is configured so that a predetermined shade 15 is attached to its both sides in a horizontal direction, and it is coupled to be capable of sliding up and down by means of combination between a guide groove 6d formed its back surface and a guide protrusion 6a formed on a front surface of the connector fixing member 4. [88] The connector 8 is illustrated in detail in Korean Utility Model Registration Filing

No. 2003-11851, so it is not described in detail here.

[89] Meanwhile, the attachment plate 2 has a plurality of insert protrusions 70 provided to its front surface as shown in FIG. 12. A plurality of magnetic attachment members 22a, 22b corresponding to magnets 6g, 6g' of the connector fixing member 4 are installed to upper and lower portions of the attachment plate 2, and first cut grooves21 are formed in both sides of its front surface.

[90] Here, the insert protrusion 70 includes a boss 74 vertically protruded to a pre¬ determined height, and a head 72 horizontally formed at the top of the boss 74, and it has a substantial "T" shape.

[91] In addition, the magnetic attachment members 22a, 22b are made of magnets with different polarities or metal plates so that they may be attached to the magnets 6g, 6g' of the connector fixing member 4, so they may function to keep a coupled state of the connector fixing member 4 by means of magnetic attachment.

[92] In addition, a plurality of cut grooves 21 are horizontally formed in both sides of the magnetic attachment member 22a formed in an upper portion of the front surface of the attachment plate 2 so as to face each other. The first cut grooves 21 are faced with second cut grooves 62 of the connector fixing member 4, described later, to form a pre¬ determined insert hole 100 so that a fixing pin 80, described later, may be inserted therein.

[93] Also, an inner end of the first cut groove 21 is preferably formed as close to the upper magnetic attachment member 22a as possible to be positioned within the range of magnetic field so that the fixing pin 80 may be magnetically attached to the upper magnetic attachment member 22a when being inserted.

[94] The connector fixing member 4 has a plurality of coupling holes 50 provided with insert holes 54 in which the insert protrusion 70 is coupled, and second cut grooves 62 formed in its rear surface in correspondence to the first cut grooves 21, as shown in FIG. 12.

[95] The coupling hole 50 has a seating groove 52 concavely formed in the front surface, and the insert hole 54 is perforated at the center of the seating groove 52. The insert groove 54 includes a large through hole 542 formed in one side so that the head 72 of the insert protrusion 70 is inserted therein, and a small cut hole 544 communicated with the through hole 542 and cut downward linearly.

[96] Thus, as shown in FIGs. 13 to 15, when the insert protrusion 70 is inserted through the through hole of the insert hole 54, the head 72 is inserted through the large through hole 542 and then into the cut hole 544 so that the head 72 is hooked and fixed to the seating groove 52.

[97] The second cut groove 62 is formed in the back surface of the connector fixing member 4 in correspondence to the first cut groove 21 of the attachment plate 2, and has the same shape as the first cut groove 21.

[98] Thus, as shown in FIG. 13, when the first and second cut grooves 21, 62 are facing each other, a predetermined insert hole 100 may be formed and the fixing pin 80 may be inserted through it.

[99] The fixing pin 80 is used for reinforcing a coupled state of the attachment plate 2 and the connector fixing member 4 when being inserted into the insert hole 100 formed by facing the first and second cut grooves 21, 62. A predetermined magnet 82 is mounted to the front end of the fixing pin 80 that is inserted into the insert hole 100 so that the fixing pin 80 may be magnetically attached to the magnet 6a and the upper magnetic attachment member 22a, and a handle 84 for a user to grip is formed at the other end of the fixing pin 80.

[100] The shade assembly configured as above according to the third embodiment is assembled and installed as follows, as an example.

[101] First, the attachment plate 2 and the connector fixing member 4 are coupled, and at this time the insert protrusion 70 of the attachment plate 2 is inserted into the insert hole 54 of the connector fixing member 4, and then the connector fixing member 4 is pushed up for coupling.

[102] That is to say, as shown in FIGs. 14 and 15, if the head 72 of the insert protrusion

70 is inserted through the large through hole 542 of the insert hole 54 and then the connector fixing member 4 is pushed up, the boss 74 of the insert protrusion 70 is inserted into the cut hole 544, and then the head 72 is hooked in close contact with the upper surface of the seating groove 52 and then firmly coupled.

[103] After that, if the fixing pin 80 is inserted into the insert hole 100 formed by the first and second cut grooves 21, 62 formed in the attachment plate 2 and the connector fixing member 4, the magnet 82 at the front end of the fixing pin 80 may be mag¬ netically attached by means of a magnetic force generated by the magnetic attachment members 22a, 22b of the attachment plate 2, and accordingly a coupling state of the attachment plate 2 and the connector fixing member 4 may be firmly supported.

[104] After the assembling procedure is completed as mentioned above, the attachment 2 is firstly attached to a window by using an adhesive tape (not shown) prepared on the back surface of the attachment member 26 formed on the attachment plate 2, and then the plurality of connectors 8 are slidably inserted and coupled by using the guide protrusion 6a prepared on the front surface of the connector fixing member 4, and then the shade assembly for a vehicle according to the present invention is completely installed.

[105] After that, in order to intercept a direct ray of light introduced into the vehicle, the shade assembly is used in such a way that a user unfolds the plurality of connectors 8 as shown in FIG. 16, and also the shade assembly may be folded and taken in custody in such a way that a user folds the plurality of connectors 8 as shown in FIG. 17.
