Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a sun visor device for vehicles equipped with an auxiliary glare shielding device (hereinafter referred to as auxiliary glare shielding means), The present invention relates to a sun visor device that is rotatably attached to a vehicle and can be displaced to match the visual field (visual field) of an occupant.

Conventionally, sun visors that have been installed on automobiles to prevent glare for drivers and assistants when driving under strong sunlight or at night cannot guarantee sufficient protection from glare. is a well-known fact.

Such shortcomings of conventional sun visors offered by car manufacturers mean that drivers are exposed to a greater risk of accidents than when exposed to glare from direct sunlight, for example. , the occurrence of a serious accident (
This poses a risk of causing personal injury, for example.

The sun visor 11 that has been conventionally provided and incorporated into various automobiles can only be expected to provide a relatively sufficient glare prevention effect only when sunlight is directly incident from the front. .

In cases where sunlight enters from the driver's right side, it is possible to pull down the sun visor on the passenger seat side (in the case of left-hand drive cars) as a supplementary measure.
Even in such a case, sunlight can pass through the gap between the two sun visors and strike the rearview mirror, which is also mounted near the ceiling of the car.

This unprotected intermediate area often exposes the driver to extremely dangerous glare.

Furthermore, when driving (climbing) on mountain roads, conventional sun visors cannot be expected to have sufficient glare prevention effects, especially when sunlight is coming from the front. I don't get it.

This is because in such a case the sunlight partially enters through the lowered sun visor.

For example, in a so-called left-hand drive car, if sunlight enters from the left side of the driver, the driver can take measures by rotating the sun visor to the left. This is a big problem, especially when driving around a curve, since the direction of light incidence changes depending on the direction of travel.

The present invention improves the sun visor of the type described at the beginning so that it can supplementally cover the field of vision as described above during the day and even when it collapses while driving at night, and it also provides a driver with a comfortable sun visor. It is an object of the present invention to provide a sun visor device that can reliably cover the entire visual field that may pose dangers due to glare without reducing safety during driving.

According to the present invention, these objects are to provide a sun visor device for front seat occupants of a vehicle, which is rotatable about a substantially horizontal axis and fixed at any position. , coupled to the sun visor, a guide pocket having a hollow part, a substantially horizontal slit communicating with the hollow part, and substantially vertical slits at both left and right ends; and a guide pocket accommodated in the guide pocket. The guide pocket is guided and supported by a first guide groove provided in the guide pocket and can be pulled out by an arbitrary amount in a substantially horizontal direction from one of the slits at both left and right ends, and the pulled out portion is on the side of the vehicle. a first auxiliary blind that can be bent in the direction; and a second auxiliary blind that is accommodated in the guide pocket and that is provided in the guide pocket from a slit opposite to one of the slits at both left and right ends. a second auxiliary blind that is guided and supported by a guide groove and can be pulled out by an arbitrary amount in a substantially horizontal direction toward the center of the front surface of the vehicle; This can be achieved by the sun visor device comprising a third auxiliary blind that can be pulled out downwardly from the slit by any desired amount.

Therefore, a major feature of the present invention is that a guide pocket containing auxiliary blinds that can be pulled out individually or all at the same time is attached to the sun visor, and the auxiliary blinds are installed in the viewing area not covered by the sun visor. One point is that it can be pulled out inside (to a position where it can be covered).

In the first part of the present invention (I so that the 4 auxiliary blinds can be pulled out)
It's happening.

However, instead of this, the auxiliary blind can also be provided as a swiveling type or as a roll that can be pulled out downwards.

A preferred embodiment of the invention is such that the sun visor and guide pocket are integrated so that the auxiliary blind can be pulled out directly from the sun visor.

This embodiment is particularly advantageous when it is installed as one of the accessories for a new car.

In this case, the sun visor device according to the present invention will be installed as initial equipment in the factory in place of a conventional sun visor; in this case, the present invention will apply)
The sun visor device consists of a conventional sun visor and an auxiliary blind that is removably built into the sun visor.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the sun visor paralysis guide pocket is a separate unit, and the guide pocket is removably attached to the sun visor.

This series of implementations has been devised for the case where a conventional sun visor on the mounting tube is later installed with a glare shielding device.

In this case, a guide pocket may be placed on the front side of the sun visor that is attached to the vehicle body, such as with a press button (Druckknop).
Kleten-bandern, which can be bonded from one surface protrusion, and one
For example, you can use a rubber band or the like to attach it by rubbing it.

Alternatively, the guide pocket may be fixedly attached to the sun visor 1 by passing an elastic band shaped like an elastic hose through the guide pocket 1 and inserting it into the sun visor 1.

By providing such a mounting means, it is possible to attach a glare shielding device to the sun visor of the mounting tube on the vehicle body.

Hereinafter, another feature of the present invention will be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of the steering wheel guide pocket shown with the auxiliary blind pulled out.

As can be seen by comparison with FIG. 2, this guide pocket is combined as a separate unit with the existing sun visor 8 of the vehicle.

However, like FIG. 1 (4), it can also be interpreted as a front view of a sun visor device in which one pull-out auxiliary blind 2, 3.4 is already installed.

An additional blind device according to the present invention is fixed to the sun visor 8 (see FIG. 2), or a guide pocket integrally connected thereto, and an auxiliary blind accommodated in its hollow part. 2, 3.4 can be drawn out.

As seen in FIG. 2, the first auxiliary blind 4 is placed in the first guide groove, the second auxiliary blind 2 is placed in the second guide groove, and the third auxiliary blind 3 is placed in the third guide groove. Thus, each auxiliary blind has a guide groove 10 (Fig. 1 shows the first
(only the second guide groove is shown) is designed to be movable, and is provided with a stopper to limit its movement range, from which the auxiliary blinds 2, 3.4 can be moved. The nuki is completely removed, that is, there is no fear that the nuki will fall.

In the first embodiment shown in the figure, the guide pocket 111j accommodates three auxiliary brine l-'2°3.4.

The first auxiliary blind 4 has a left side guide pocket 1.
It can be pulled out more easily, and when pulled out, it can be aligned with the curvature of the side window of the car, thereby exposing the left side of the driver's head to additional light. ) so that it is blocked from the crowd.

To facilitate the drawer, the guide pocket 1 is provided with a slit 7, and the auxiliary blind 4 pushed into the guide pocket 1 is caught in the slit 01, as shown in FIG. It is designed so that it can be pulled out in a curved state.

The second auxiliary blind 2 can be pulled out from the guide pocket 1 through a slit similar to that described above, and can be pulled out from the side to the right once, so that the field of view between the sun visors, which are arranged adjacent to each other at a distance inside the vehicle and already installed in the tube, can be pulled out. It is done once to cover the range.

As a result, glare is blocked near the rearview mirror of an automobile, which is placed near the ceiling.

The third auxiliary blind can be pulled out downward from the guide pocket 1, as shown in FIGS. This prevents glare when the sun is low or when driving on mountain roads.

As can be seen in FIG. 2, the third auxiliary blind 3 can be pulled out through a slit 6 arranged on the front side of the guide pocket 1.

This slit 6 often holds the auxiliary blind 3, and since the blind 3 is curved inside the slit 6, it has the advantage of ensuring that the auxiliary blind 3 will not fall when pulled out. have.

Similarly, a third auxiliary blind can be pulled out via a slit provided in the bottom of the guide pocket 1 and, under special conditions, can be placed between the auxiliary blind 3 and the corresponding surface of the guide pocket 1 as a braking means. Auxiliary blind 3
A device may be provided to prevent the position from changing suddenly.

As a limited stopper to prevent the blind from falling, for example, as shown in Fig. 3, there is a guide pocket 1 as a nose 12 on the side of the auxiliary blind 2, 3.4.
It is also possible to provide something that slides inside the corresponding slit 11.

The end of the slit 11 then serves as a stopper for the nose window and prevents the auxiliary blind from falling out.

As is clear from FIG. 2, the auxiliary blind 2°4 is
Since it is supported from above and below by the guide grooves 10 provided below at intervals corresponding to the width of each auxiliary blind,
While maintaining smooth drawer and push-in operations, the drawer can be reliably supported without falling accidentally, even when a large amount of drawers are drawn out or when used over a long period of time.

Furthermore, since the auxiliary blinds 2, 4 are individually guided by the guide grooves 10, they do not come into contact with each other within the guide pocket 1, so that the pulling out or pushing in of one auxiliary blind causes the movement of the other one. There is no such thing as being accompanied by

Therefore, even if the first auxiliary blind is pulled out in a curved state or pushed in from a curved state, the second
The position of the auxiliary blind is secured, ensuring ease and reliability of operation.

What is further important about the present invention is that the auxiliary blind 2
, 3.4 can be drawn out individually or simultaneously to cover any part of the field of view to be protected.

Therefore, once the auxiliary blind is pulled out to an appropriate range, there is no need to move the auxiliary blind each time the position of glare for front seat occupants changes due to changes in the direction of travel of the car, etc. Effective protection will be provided.

What is more important here is that the guide pocket 1 is provided with a support made of foamed plastic on its front side to protect the front side when the guide pocket 1 springs up.

The auxiliary blind is preferably made of a partially transparent flexible synthetic resin film.

Additionally, various auxiliary blinds with different light transmittances can be drawn out from the auxiliary pocket 1 depending on the light incident conditions.

In order to do this, it is necessary to have a large number of auxiliary blinds oriented in one direction, in parallel and adjacent to each other so that they can be pulled out from the guide pocket 1, and each of the auxiliary blinds has a translucent property. It is necessary to make a gradual difference.

If glare or incident light is extremely strong, an auxiliary blind with low light transmittance may be pulled out to the side of the auxiliary blind 2, for example.

If the glare is mild and it is desired to see through this viewing area, the non-transparent auxiliary blind that has been pulled out may be replaced with an auxiliary blind that is more translucent.

That is, instead of each of the auxiliary blinds 2, 3.4, a number of sets of auxiliary blinds can be pulled out from the guide pocket 1.

Instead of pulling out the auxiliary blinds 2, 3.4, the auxiliary blinds can also be rotatably mounted in the guide pocket 1 or can be pulled out from the rolled trowel guide pocket 1.

As is clear from the above, according to the present invention, the viewing area from the side of the vehicle front seat occupant to the front including a part of the rearview mirror, and even below the normal sun visor' can be continuously and as needed. Accordingly, the cover 61 can be appropriately used to effectively protect the front seat occupant from glare both during daytime and night driving, and furthermore, it is possible to provide a reliable sun visor device that is easy to operate.

Therefore, the invention is not limited to the embodiments shown.
