Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a slide opening stop device for a sunshade in an automobile sunroof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in sunroofs, a type is known in which a sunshade as a sunshade is provided inside a lid that can be opened and closed.

The sunshade is supported at both ends so as to be slidable forward and backward by guide rails provided at the roof opening. By manually sliding the sunshade forward, a blocked state for closing the roof opening can be obtained. Further, by manually sliding backward from the blocking state, the sliding opening state retracted from the roof opening can be obtained respectively.

[0004]

As described above, the sunshade is provided with the stopper member for positioning the sliding position between the blocking state and the sliding opening state, especially when the sliding opening is completed.

FIG. 8 shows a specific mounting example of the stopper member 101.

That is, on the guide rail 103 side, a pair of cut-and-raised tongues 105 that are raised in an upright state are provided on the left and right, and the cut-and-raised tongues 105 are fitted into the fitting holes 107 of the stopper member 101 from above. By doing so, installation becomes possible.

In this case, the stopper member 101 is made of a hard material so that the stopper member 101 does not easily come off from the tongue piece 105 by cutting and raising it. ing. Therefore, if the fitting management is poor, such as the hole diameter becoming too small, it will be difficult to enter,
Workability deteriorates. In addition, a unique contact sound is generated by the hard material, which causes a decrease in quality. Further, when strongly slidingly opened as shown in FIG. 9, the rear end side 111 of the sunshade 109 is a reaction when contacting the stopper member 101, so that the contact surface is not affected by the action of overcoming the stopper member 101. A countermeasure, such as providing a collar portion 113 for preventing floating, is taken above, and it is not desirable in terms of workability.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a sunshade slide opening stop device which is excellent in workability.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is directed to a guide rail provided along a roof opening of a vehicle body in a shut-off state facing a roof opening position.
A sun shade that is slidable into a sliding opening state retracted from the roof opening and a stopper member that abuts when the sunshade sliding opening is completed are provided, and the stopper member elastically deforms when the sunshade abuts and the edge side of the sunshade An engaging groove formed of a soft material that blocks upward movement is provided on the upper surface side, and the engaging groove is continuous along the longitudinal direction. The engaging groove is provided on the guide rail side and protrudes downward. Engaged in a coalesce.

As a method of mounting the stopper member, the engaging groove of the stopper member is slid in the vehicle width direction to be engaged with the engaging body.

In a preferred embodiment of the stopper member, the stopper member is engaged with the lower layer portion made of an elastically deformable soft material that abuts against the sunshade and the engaging body on the guide rail side. An upper layer formed of a hard material having grooves is formed into a certain two-layer shape.

[0012]

According to such a sunshade slide opening stop device, since the engagement groove of the stopper member engages with the engagement body facing downward from the vehicle width direction, the movement before and after the vertical direction and the sunshade sliding direction. It is possible to obtain an attached state in which is securely restrained.

Therefore, the soft material makes it possible to make the groove width of the engaging groove wider than that of the engaging body, and the stopper member can be easily attached. Moreover, it does not come off.
Further, since the sunshade is elastically deformed at the time of contact, the contact noise is eliminated and the rear end of the sunshade is prevented from rising. As a result, the flange portion for preventing the floating is not required, and it is very preferable in terms of workability.
