Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a sun visor (shading plate) for automobiles.

[Prior Art] As illustrated in FIG. 5, as an automobile sun visor, a stay 1 attached to the ceiling of a vehicle interior is equipped with a
The upper edge of the sun visor body 2 is rotatably fitted,
It is well known that the sun visor body 2 can be swung up and down so that it can be aligned with the front windshield when in use and along the ceiling when stored.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] By the way, in the above sun visor,
The size of the sun visor body 2 is naturally limited, so if the stay 1 is positioned high so that the sun visor body 2 can be brought into close contact with the ceiling when stored, the lower edge of the sun visor body 2 will be in a high position when in use. If the stay 1 is positioned too low, the sun visor body 2 cannot be brought into close contact with the ceiling when it is retracted, resulting in a narrow living space inside the vehicle, which is a contradictory problem. It was hot.

Moreover, in the above-mentioned sun visor, since it is necessary to provide a certain gap between the stay 1 and the front windshield, it is difficult to bring the upper part of the sun visor main body 2 into close contact with the front windshield during use.
There was also the problem that the light shielding effect was further reduced.

Therefore, in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-166916, a shaft attached to the vehicle body, an L-shaped crankshaft that supports the sun visor body in a vertically swingable manner, and a clutch mechanism that concentrically connects the shaft and the crankshaft are proposed. An automotive sun visor has been proposed.

According to this, the vertical swing stroke of the sun visor body can be lengthened.

However, an L-shaped crankshaft is required, which is cumbersome to process and increases costs.

In addition, since the shaft and crankshaft are concentrically connected, that is, butted, by the sleeve of the clutch mechanism, the length of support by the sleeve is short, and when the sun visor body swings up and down,
This part tends to get twisted, and there are also problems with durability. If the length of the sleeve is increased, the sleeve will become larger and look unattractive.

Furthermore, the L-shaped crankshaft is completely visible, which also makes it look bad.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention attempts to solve the above-mentioned problems by devising a stay structure that supports the sun visor body.

That is, the present invention has an adapter 1 fixed to the ceiling.
Approximately L where the vertical portion 13a is rotatably supported on 2
A first stay 13 in the shape of a letter, a second stay 14 in a straight shape that is horizontally eccentrically arranged with respect to the horizontal portion 13b of the first stay 13 and supports the sun visor body 11 so as to be vertically swingable, and the second stay 14 is arranged in opposite directions. Hole 1 which is horizontally eccentric and mostly overlaps from
6 and 17 are bored, and the horizontal part 1 of the first stay 13
3b is rotatably fitted into one hole 16, and the protruding end 14a of the second stay 14 is a hinge member 15 which is unrotatably fitted into the other hole 17. It is something to do.

[Operation] In the above configuration, the second
By swinging the stay around the first stay, fine adjustments can be made in the vertical and longitudinal positions of the sun visor body.

[Effects of the invention] In the present invention, by changing the vertical position of the second stay, the sun visor body can be positioned lower than before when in use, and a sufficient light shielding effect can be obtained.
When retracted, the sun visor body can be positioned higher than before and can be brought into close contact with the ceiling.

In addition, by adjusting the front and rear positions of the second stay during use, the entire sun visor body can be aligned with the front windshield, and a better light shielding effect can be obtained.

Furthermore, holes 16 and 17 are provided in the hinge member from opposite directions and are horizontally eccentric and most of the holes overlap.
The horizontal part 13b of the first stay 13 is rotatably fitted into one hole 16, and the protruding end 14a of the second stay 14 is unrotatably fitted into the other hole 17. Even if the total length of the hinge member is short, the support length of the first stay and the second stay can be long, and the sun visor body is less likely to be twisted when vertically rocking, and the durability is also increased.

Moreover, the hinge member can be made small and has a good appearance.

Furthermore, the second stay has a straight shape, making it easy to process and reduce costs.

[Example] Examples of the present invention will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 2, the main body 11 of the sun visor 10 for the driver's seat of an automobile is connected via a support mechanism D to a ceiling (not shown) in a vehicle interior so that it can swing vertically and horizontally.

As shown in FIG. 1, the support mechanism D includes an adapter 12 fixed to the ceiling and a vertical portion 13a thereof.
is arranged eccentrically horizontally with respect to the horizontal portion 13b of the first stay 13, which is rotatably supported by the adapter 12, and the sun visor body 11 is supported by the swinging fulcrum portion 11a of the first stay 13. A straight second stay 14 (upper edge in FIG. 2) supported so as to be vertically swingable, a horizontal portion 13b of the first stay 13, and a sun visor main body 11 of the second stay 14
and the protruding end 14a from the second stay 1.
4 and a hinge member 15 that swings around the horizontal portion 13b of the first stay 13. Holes 16 and 17 are bored in the hinge member 15 from opposite directions and are horizontally eccentric and mostly overlap each other, and the horizontal portion 13b of the first stay 13 is rotatably fitted into one of the holes 16. At the same time, a serration 18 is formed on the protruding end 14a of the second stay 14, so that the protruding end 14a is connected to the other hole 17.
is fitted in a non-rotatable manner.

Then, the sun visor body 11 is attached to the first stay 1
The sun visor main body 11 is swung left and right between the vertical portion 13a of 3 and the adapter 12, and the sun visor body 11 is
