Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle sun visor having a visor body that is switched between a storage position along a passenger compartment ceiling surface and a light shielding position along a glass surface.

Conventionally, for example, a vehicle sun visor according to Patent Document 1 has been known.
The vehicle sun visor according to Patent Document 1 has an attachment member attached to the ceiling surface of the passenger compartment and a visor body attached to the attachment member. And the attachment member had the horizontal part along the compartment ceiling surface, and the vertical part along the glass surface. Accessories such as lighting fixtures are provided in the horizontal part, and mirrors are provided in the vertical part.
The visor body has a retracting portion so as not to cover the mounting member, and the retracting portion is configured to avoid the horizontal portion at the storage position. In addition, the vertical portion is avoided at the light shielding position, and the vertical portion enters the retracting portion, and the retracting portion is covered by the vertical portion.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-211240

However, the mounting member generally does not have a vertical portion. In this case, the retracting portion is not covered with the vertical portion, and the light shielding area of the visor body is insufficient. Therefore, there is a possibility that the usability of the visor main body is deteriorated.
Then, this invention makes it a subject to provide the vehicle visor main body and the sun visor for vehicles with an easy-to-use accessory, when it has an accessory in the vehicle interior ceiling surface side.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a vehicle sun visor having the configuration described in each claim.
According to the first aspect of the present invention, the visor body is formed with a retracting portion for avoiding the accessory so as not to cover the accessory attached to the passenger compartment ceiling surface side. In order to compensate for the light shielding area that is insufficient due to the retracting portion, a light shielding plate that covers the retracting portion at the light shielding position is attached to the visor body so as to be rotatable or slidable.

Therefore, since the visor body has the retracting portion, the accessory is not covered when the visor body is in the storage position. Therefore, the accessory can be used even when the visor body is in the storage position.
On the other hand, the accessory can be provided at a desired position without being affected by the shape of the visor body. Therefore, the accessory can be provided at a position where it is easy to use.
The retracting portion provided in the visor body is covered with a light shielding plate at the light shielding position. Therefore, the light shielding area that is insufficient due to the retracting portion is compensated by the light shielding plate. Thus, the visor body and accessories are easier to use.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the visor main body is moved from the storage position to the light shielding position between the visor main body and the light shielding plate, so that the retreat portion of the light shielding plate is moved from the position not covering to the position covering the light shielding plate. An interlocking structure is provided.
Accordingly, the retracting portion is automatically covered with the light shielding plate by setting the visor body to the light shielding position. Thus, the user-friendliness of the sun visor is improved.

Moreover, according to the invention described in claim 1, the saving unit is formed by recessing a portion of the upper edge at the time of the visor body to the light shielding position. Further, the light shielding plate is rotatably attached at the lower end side to the bottom of the recess of the retracting portion of the visor body, and is attached at the upper end side to the vehicle interior ceiling surface side.
When the visor body moves from the light shielding position to the storage position, the visor body moves using the light shielding plate as a rotation shaft, and moves so that the occupant side surface at the light shielding position is the lower surface side at the storage position. .
Therefore, the visor main body moves from the light shielding position to the storage position with the light shielding plate as a rotation axis. The light shielding plate covers the retracting portion at the light shielding position. Therefore, the light shielding plate has both a role as a rotating shaft and a role of covering the retracting portion and supplementing the light shielding area. Thus, the vehicle sun visor has an easy configuration.

According to invention of Claim 3 , it has integrally the attachment member to which a visor main body is attached, and the accessory attached to the attachment member, and a visor main body and an accessory are attached to a vehicle interior ceiling surface via an attachment member. It is configured.
That is, the vehicle sun visor integrally includes an attachment member, a visor body, and an accessory. Therefore, the visor body and the accessories are attached to the vehicle compartment ceiling surface at once through the attachment member. Therefore, the attachment work which attaches these to a vehicle interior ceiling surface becomes easy.
The visor body has a retracting portion (see claim 1). Therefore, the accessory is provided at a position close to the visor body. Preferably, the accessory is provided in the retracting portion. Therefore, the vehicle sun visor has a compact configuration.

  According to the vehicle sun visor according to the present invention, when the accessory is provided on the ceiling surface side of the passenger compartment, the use of the visor body and the accessory is improved.

(Embodiment 1)
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
A vehicle sun visor 1 according to Embodiment 1 includes a plate-like visor body 2 and a light shielding plate 3 as shown in FIG. The vehicle sun visor 1 also integrally includes an attachment member 4 attached to the passenger compartment ceiling surface 11 and an accessory 5.

As shown in FIG. 1, the visor body 2 is attached to the passenger compartment ceiling surface 11 via an attachment member 4. The visor body 2 is attached to the passenger compartment ceiling surface 11 via the attachment member 4 so as to be switchable between a light shielding position along the windshield 12 (glass surface) and a storage position along the passenger compartment ceiling surface 11. ing.
As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, when the visor body 2 moves from the light shielding position to the storage position, the portion that becomes the upper edge at the light shielding position gradually moves rearward along the vehicle interior ceiling surface 11. The surface on the passenger side at the light shielding position becomes the lower surface at the storage position.

Further, the visor body 2 has a retracting portion 20 as shown in FIG. The retracting portion 20 is provided at a part of the upper end side of the visor main body 2 and is recessed from the central portion of the upper end side of the visor main body 2 toward the lower end side. The retracting portion 20 is configured to have substantially the same shape as the accessory 5 or a shape larger than the accessory 5.
Therefore, the visor body 2 is exposed without covering the accessory 5 by the retracting portion 20 when the visor body 2 is set to the storage position. The accessory 5 is stored in the retracting unit 20.

The light shielding plate 3 is configured in a thin plate shape. The light shielding plate 3 is pivotally attached to the bottom of the recess of the retracting portion 20 of the visor body 2 at the lower end side. And the upper end side is rotatably attached to the vehicle interior ceiling surface 11 side.
That is, between the lower end side of the light-shielding plate 3 and the visor main body 2, a rotation support structure 30 is provided for connecting these in a rotatable manner. And between the upper end side of the light-shielding plate 3 and the attachment member 4, the rotation support structure 40 which connects these so that rotation is possible is provided.

  Therefore, the light-shielding plate 3 moves to a position along the windshield 12 and a position along the vehicle interior ceiling surface 11 by rotating around the rotation support structure 40. The light shielding plate 3 covers the retracting portion 20 of the visor body 2 at a position along the windshield 12. Thus, the light shielding plate 3 compensates for the insufficient light shielding area by the retracting portion 20.

As shown in FIG. 1, the attachment member 4 is formed in a substantially plate shape and is attached to the passenger compartment ceiling surface 11. And the attachment member 4 has the rail 41 along the right-and-left both ends edge, and has the rotation support structure 40 in the front end edge.
The rail 41 has a structure that slidably supports the upper end edge side of the visor body 2, and guides and supports the guide pins 21 formed on the upper end edge side of the visor body 2.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the guide pin 21 is provided on the back surface of the visor body 2 and on the upper edge side of the visor body 2. The guide pins 21 are provided at the left adjacent position and the right adjacent position of the retracting portion (20) and project toward the rail 41. The guide pin 21 is inserted into the rail 41 and moves along the rail 41.

The accessory 5 has the lighting fixture 50, the display part 52, and the some switch 51, as shown in FIG. The accessory 5 is integrally assembled on the vehicle rear side of the mounting member 4.
The illumination tool 50 is provided on both right and left ends, and is configured to be used for a map lamp or the like. The display unit 52 is a liquid crystal panel or the like, and displays characters and video in response to an external signal. The switch 51 is a switch for turning on / off the power supply to the lighting device 50 or the display unit 52.

Between the attachment member 4 and the light shielding plate 3, a biasing structure 6 for biasing the visor body 2 from the storage position to the light shielding position is provided as shown in FIG.
The urging structure 6 has a tension spring 60 as shown in FIG. One end of the tension spring 60 is hooked to a mounting portion 61 formed on the back surface of the mounting member 4. The other end is hooked to an attachment portion 62 attached to the rotation shaft 40 b of the light shielding plate 3.

The rotation shaft 40 b constitutes a rotation shaft when the light shielding plate 3 is rotated with respect to the attachment member 4. The rotating shaft 40b is supported by a bearing portion 40a formed at the front end of the mounting member 4 so as to be rotatable in the direction around the axis. Thus, the rotation shaft 40b and the bearing portion 40a constitute a rotation support structure 40.
And the tension spring 60 is elastically pulled by moving the light-shielding plate 3 from the position along the windshield (12) to the position along the passenger compartment ceiling surface (11). Accordingly, the tension spring 60 biases the light shielding plate 3 and biases the visor body 2 to the light shielding position via the light shielding plate 3.

Further, between the attachment member 4 and the visor main body 2, a lock device 22 for holding the visor main body 2 in the storage position is provided as shown in FIG.
The lock device 22 is configured by a push lock device and includes a locking portion 23 and a support portion 31. The locking portion 23 is erected with respect to the visor body 2 at the lower end of the back surface of the visor body 2. The support portion 31 is provided at the front end of the attachment member 4, and the locking portion 23 is inserted and removed. Then, the support portion 31 supports the locking portion 23 by pushing the locking portion 23 into the support portion 31. Then, the support portion 31 opens the locking portion 23 by pushing the supporting portion 31 into the locking portion 23 again. Thus, the lock device 22 holds the visor body 2 in a retracted position so as to be removable.

Next, how the sun visor 1 is switched between the light shielding position and the storage position will be described.
When the visor body 2 is switched from the light shielding position to the storage position, the upper end of the visor body 2 is slid rearward along the vehicle interior ceiling surface 11 as shown in FIGS. At the same time, the visor body 2 is rotated around the light shielding plate 3. Thus, in the visor body 2, the surface on the passenger side at the light shielding position becomes the surface on the lower surface side in the storage position.

And the light-shielding plate 3 at this time rotates centering on an upper end edge, and moves to the position along the vehicle interior ceiling surface 11 as shown in FIG. The light shielding plate 3 is overlapped with the visor body 2 in the thickness direction, and the lower surface is covered with the visor body 2.
Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the light shielding plate 3 opens the retracting portion 20 of the visor body 2 in the storage position. Thus, the accessory 5 is not covered by the visor body 2 or the like, and can be used without being affected by the position of the visor body 2.

When switching the visor body 2 from the storage position to the light shielding position, the lock device 22 is first released (see FIG. 7). Then, the visor body 2 is urged and moved to the light shielding position by the urging structure 6.
2 to 5, the light shielding plate 3 moves to a position along the windshield 12 in conjunction with the visor body 2. That is, the light shielding plate 3 automatically moves from a position where the retracting portion 20 is not covered to a position where it is covered by the interlocking structure constituted by the rotation support structures 30 and 40.

The vehicle sun visor 1 is formed as described above.
Therefore, since the visor body 2 has the retracting portion 20, the visor body 2 does not cover the accessory 5 when in the storage position (see FIG. 1). For this reason, the accessory 5 can be used even when the visor body 2 is in the storage position.

On the other hand, the accessory 5 can be provided at a desired position without being affected by the shape or the like of the visor body 2. Therefore, the accessory 5 can be provided in a position where it is easy to use.
Further, the retracting portion 20 provided in the visor body 2 is covered with the light shielding plate 3 at the light shielding position. Therefore, the light shielding area that becomes insufficient due to the retracting portion 20 is compensated by the light shielding plate 3. Thus, the visor body 2 and the accessory 5 are easy to use.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the visor body 2 is moved from the storage position to the light shielding position between the visor body 2 and the light shielding plate 3, so that the light shielding plate 3 does not cover the retracting portion (20). An interlocking structure (30, 40) is provided for moving from the position to the covering position.
Accordingly, the retracting portion 20 is automatically covered with the light shielding plate 3 by setting the visor body 2 to the light shielding position. Thus, the usability of the sun visor 1 is improved.

  2 to 5, the visor body 2 moves from the light shielding position to the storage position with the light shielding plate 3 as a rotation axis. The light shielding plate 3 covers the retracting portion 20 at the light shielding position as shown in FIG. Therefore, the light shielding plate 3 serves both as a rotation axis and as a role of covering the retracting portion 20 to supplement the light shielding area. Thus, the sun visor 1 has an easy configuration.

Moreover, the sun visor 1 has the attachment member 4, the visor main body 2, and the accessory 5 integrally, as shown in FIG. Therefore, the visor body 2 and the accessory 5 are attached to the passenger compartment ceiling surface 11 at once via the attachment member 4. Therefore, the attachment work which attaches these to the vehicle interior ceiling surface 11 becomes easy.
The visor body 2 has a retracting unit 20. Accordingly, the accessory 5 is provided at a position close to the visor body 2. Preferably, the accessory 5 is provided in the retracting unit 20. Therefore, the sun visor 1 has a compact configuration.

The retracting portion 120 is provided at a part of the lower end side of the visor main body 102 and is recessed from the center of the lower end side of the visor main body 102 toward the upper end side. The retracting unit 120 exposes the accessory 105 when the visor body 2 is placed in the storage position. Then, the accessory 105 is stored in the retracting unit 120.

As shown in FIG. 10, the light shielding plate 103 is attached to the visor body 102 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. Then, when sliding downward, the retracting portion 20 is covered. And when it slides upwards, it is accommodated in the storage chamber 102a of the visor body 102, and the retracting portion 20 is exposed.
Therefore, the light shielding plate 103 is accommodated in the visor body 102 when the visor body 102 is set to the storage position. When the visor body 102 is set to the light shielding position, the visor body 102 is pulled out from the visor body 102 and covers the retracting portion 120 as shown in FIG. Thus, the light shielding plate 103 compensates for the insufficient light shielding area due to the retracting portion 120.

The attachment member 104 and the accessory 105 are configured in substantially the same manner as the attachment member 4 and the accessory 5 according to Embodiment 1, respectively.
An interlocking structure is provided between the visor main body 102 and the light shielding plate 103 so that the light shielding plate 103 is automatically moved to a position covering the retracting portion 120 by moving the visor main body 102 from the storage position to the light shielding position.
