Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to a sunroof.

[Conventional technology]

A sunroof has an opening in the front seat portion of the roof, which can be opened and closed using a sliding plate glass or other plate-like object.

Additionally, a sliding sunshade is installed inside the plate glass to block light.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Since the plate glass and sunshade are stored in the roof behind the opening, the ratio of the opening to the roof is small, and the sense of openness is limited to the front seats, which is not as good as the rear seats.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above problems, this invention
an opening provided in the roof; a guide member provided parallel to both sides of the opening and movable up and down;
A canopy is supported on both sides by the guide member, and is provided so that it can be gathered at one end of the guide member and tensioned between both ends. It is constructed with an engagement mechanism that maintains the lowered state.

[Effect]

To open the opening, the engagement mechanism is disengaged and the guide member is raised, and then the hood is moved to one end of the guide member and assembled.

In addition, in order to close the opening, after tensioning the hood, the guide member is lowered and the periphery of the hood is pressed against the periphery of the opening, and the engagement mechanism is engaged to prevent the guide member from rising. Maintain the state of pressure contact on the periphery of the hood.

〔Example〕

In the figure, A is an automobile, and a roof 1 of this automobile A is provided with an opening 2.

Further, guide members 3 and 3' are provided on both sides of the opening 2 and are movable up and down parallel to the side edges of the opening 2.

Further, the guide members 3, 3' are provided with a canopy 4 that can be assembled at one end and tensioned between both ends.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the above-mentioned canopy 4 consists of a shaft 5, a cylinder 6 fitted over the entire length of the shaft 5, and a cylinder 6 between both ends of the upper surface of the peripheral wall. The provided opening 7 constitutes a guide member 3, 3', and
A large number of annular sliders 8 are fitted onto the shaft member 5,
A projecting piece 9 protruding from the outer periphery of the slider 8 is passed through the opening 7 to stop the slider 8 from rotating, and a bag portion is provided at a predetermined equal interval between both ends of the back surface of the hood 4 and connects both edges. 10 is provided, and both ends of the rod 11 inserted through the bag portion 10 are fixed to the protruding piece 9 (in the illustrated case, the end of the rod 11 is placed in a groove extending downward from the upper surface of the protruding piece 9). After dropping, bend both sides of the protruding piece 9 inwardly, sandwiching the upper end groove of the protrusion 9), and fold the hood 4 into a zigzag shape while sliding the other end held on one end of the hood 4. , a screw 12 is provided between both ends of the outer circumference of the shaft member 5 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, and the screw 12 is attached to both sides of the other end of the hood 4. Screw in the screw 13 of the slider 8 located at While running the slider 8 having the screw hole 13 from the other end of the shaft member 5 toward one end, the remaining slider 8 is brought together by the slider 8 with the screw hole 13 while sequentially colliding the opposing surfaces, and at the same time, the hood 4 Fold in a zigzag pattern, hood 4
There is one in which a slider 8 with a screw hole 13 is slid toward the other end of the shaft member 5 when the shaft member 5 is extended.

Moreover, the method of raising and lowering both the guide members 3, 3' is as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6.
Both ends of the arm 18 are rotatably attached to both ends of the hood 3' and the edge of the opening 2, and a spring 19 gives the arm 18 the ability to rotate in the upward direction.
A rotatable grip 21 is provided on the back end of the hood 4 via a pin 20, and after first extending the hood 4, when the grip 21 is pulled down, the tip of the protruding member 24 vertically provided on the underside of the hood 4 will be attached to the arm 18. The arm 18 is brought into contact with the upper surface and rotated in the direction of falling down, and the periphery of the hood 4 is pressed against the periphery of the opening 2, and then the periphery of the opening 2 is rotated in the direction of raising the grip 21. The grip 2 above is attached to the rod 22 attached to the
1 hook 23 is engaged with the guide members 3, 3'.
In addition, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 10, the edges of the canopy 4 are pressed against the edges of the opening 2, and both ends of the guide members 3, 3' and the edge of the opening 2 are pressed against the edges of the opening 2. Two corners of a triangular plate 25 are rotatably attached to the edge, and a rotating camera 26 is attached to the roof 1.
A rotating plate 27 whose central portion is fixed is provided on the fulcrum rotating shaft of this camera 26, and the end of a connecting rod 28 is rotatable between both ends of this rotating plate 27 and one remaining corner of the triangular plate 25. The guide members 3, 3' are raised by rotating the triangular plate 25 while drawing the connecting rods 28 together by rotating the camera 26, and by rotating the camera 26 in the opposite direction. The rods 28 are pushed out from each other, the triangular plate 25 is rotated, the guide members 3, 3' are lowered, and after the canopy 4 is extended, the ring 29 and the rotary hook 30, which are provided between the ends of the back surface of the canopy 4, are are in a mated state where they can be engaged,
Then, as the plate-shaped body 27 rotates, the rotary hook 30 is rotated via the connecting rod 31 and the rotary hook 30 and the ring 29 are engaged with each other, so that the hood 4 is attached to the edge of the opening 2.
As shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, both ends of the link 34 are connected to the edge brackets 33 of the opening 2 of the bracket 32 on the lower surface of both ends of the guide members 3, 3'. It is attached via the pin 35, and the upper part of the link 34 and the bracket 3
There is a system in which both ends of the spring 37 are supported by pins 36 provided at 3, so that the spring 37 can maintain the fallen state and the upright state of the link 34 as the guide members 3 and 3' move up and down. .

In the figure, 38 is packing for airtightness.

The sunroof according to the present invention has the above structure, and after the engagement of the other end of the hood 4 is released, both guide portions 3 and 3' are raised.

After that, one end of the hood 4 is moved toward the other end (at this time, the hood 4 is folded in a zigzag shape), and the opening 2 is opened.

To close the opening 2, after extending the hood 4, both guide members 3, 3' are lowered to close the opening 2.
At the same time, the grip 21 is operated to engage the hook 23 with the rod 22 to maintain the lowered state of the guide members 3, 3'.

In addition, when the canopy 4 is made into a single-opening type, one end of the canopy 4 may be fixed to the edge of the opening 2.

〔effect〕

As described above, according to the sunroof of the present invention, guide members that can be raised and lowered are provided on both sides of the opening of the roof, and the guide members support both sides, and the guide members are assembled to one end side and both ends A hood is provided that can be tensioned between the openings, and the guide member is kept in a lowered state so that the periphery of the hood can be pressed against the edge of the opening in an airtight manner, so the opening and closing of the opening provided in the sunroof is You can do it freely.

Furthermore, since the canopy can be gathered at one end of the opening, there is no restriction on the size of the opening as with plate glass.

For this reason, by providing a large opening in the roof, both the front and rear seats can feel open and let in sunlight.
