Technical Field

The present invention relates to a sun visor.

Background

In japanese patent laid-open No. 2001-322427, an invention relating to a sun visor for a vehicle is disclosed. This sun visor for a vehicle is provided with: an arm mounted on the vehicle width direction outer side of the ceiling of the vehicle compartment; and a sun visor body that is slidably attached in the axial direction of the arm.

In the case of the structure described in japanese patent application laid-open No. 2001-322427, the sun visor body is pivoted about the arm in the substantially vertical direction of the vehicle so as to block light incident from the side of the occupant. In this case, since the arm is provided on the vehicle width direction outer side of the ceiling, the sun visor body can move toward the vehicle width direction outer side with respect to the occupant, but cannot move toward the vehicle width direction inner side with respect to the occupant. Therefore, when light enters the vehicle occupant from the vehicle width direction inner side, the sun visor body cannot block the light, and therefore the above-described conventional technique has room for improvement in this point.

Disclosure of Invention

The present disclosure takes the above facts into consideration, and aims to obtain a sun visor capable of improving a light-shielding property.

Means for solving the problems

A first aspect of the present disclosure is a sun visor having: a pair of attachment portions provided on a vehicle rear side of a front windshield at an upper portion of a vehicle compartment and on a vehicle front side of a vehicle seat, and respectively arranged at a position corresponding to one side in a vehicle width direction with respect to a vehicle width direction center of a seated portion of an occupant on the vehicle seat and at a position corresponding to the other side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the vehicle width direction center of the seated portion of the occupant on the vehicle seat; a pair of rods formed in an elongated shape and provided to be rotatable in an extending direction as an axial direction, the rods being provided to the pair of fitting portions so as to be rotatable in a vehicle width direction as the axial direction, respectively; and a sun visor body portion that is provided to extend in the vehicle width direction, and one end portion in the vehicle width direction is engaged with the tip end portion of one of the pair of rods so as to be able to rotate in the vehicle width direction as an axial direction, and the other end portion in the vehicle width direction is engaged with the tip end portion of the other of the pair of rods so as to be able to rotate in the vehicle width direction as an axial direction, the sun visor body portion being provided so as to be able to be attached to and detached from the tip end portions of the pair of rods individually.

According to a first aspect, a sun visor has: the sun visor body comprises a mounting portion, a rod and a sun visor body portion. The mount portion is provided on a vehicle rear side of a front windshield (hereinafter, simply referred to as "front window") in an upper portion of a vehicle compartment and on a vehicle front side of a vehicle seat. The pair of attachment portions are disposed at positions corresponding to one side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the vehicle width direction center of the seating position on the vehicle seat and at positions corresponding to the other side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the vehicle width direction center of the seating position on the vehicle seat. The rod is formed in an elongated shape and is configured to be rotatable with the extending direction as an axial direction, and is fitted to the pair of fitting portions so as to be rotatable with the vehicle width direction as the axial direction, respectively. The sun visor body extends in the vehicle width direction, and one end portion in the vehicle width direction is engaged with the tip end portion of one of the pair of rods so as to be rotatable with the vehicle width direction as the axial direction, and the other end portion in the vehicle width direction is engaged with the tip end portion of the other of the pair of rods so as to be rotatable with the vehicle width direction as the axial direction. The sun visor body is provided so as to be attachable to and detachable from the distal end portions of the pair of rods individually. Therefore, when the one end in the vehicle width direction of the sun visor body is disengaged from the one rod in a state where the pair of rods are directed toward the vehicle lower side with respect to the fitting portion and the sun visor body is expanded toward the vehicle lower side with the tip end portion of the rod as the center (hereinafter, simply referred to as "sun visor expanded state"), the sun visor body can be turned with the extending direction of the other rod of the pair of rods as the axial direction. Further, when the other end portion in the vehicle width direction of the sun visor body is disengaged from the rod on the other side in the sun visor deployed state, the sun visor body can be turned in the axial direction in the extending direction of the rod on one side of the pair of rods. That is, the visor body can be moved to both widthwise outer sides of the seating position. Therefore, light incident on the occupant from both the side one side and the side other side of the occupant seated in the vehicle seat can be blocked.

With the sun visor of the second aspect, in the first aspect, the rod is configured to be telescopic in the extending setting direction.

According to the second aspect, the rod is provided so as to be extendable and retractable in the extending direction, and therefore, when the sun visor body is moved toward the ceiling of the vehicle cabin and stored, the rod can be retracted to store the sun visor body compactly. On the other hand, in the sun visor expanded state, the position of the sun visor body can be adjusted by extending and contracting the rod. Therefore, the glare felt by the occupant can be reduced by moving the sun visor body to a position where the occupant feels glare. Further, when the sun visor is stowed from the sun visor deployed state or vice versa, the rod is retracted to move the sun visor body, thereby preventing the sun visor body from hitting the head of the occupant.

In the sun visor of the third aspect, in the first or second aspect, the pair of fitting portions is provided at a substantially central portion in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle cabin.

According to the third aspect, since the pair of fitting portions is provided at the substantially central portion in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle compartment, even for an occupant seated in a vehicle seat provided at the substantially central portion in the vehicle width direction, it is possible to block light incident on the occupant from both the one side and the other side of the occupant.

In the sun visor according to the fourth aspect, in any one of the first to third aspects, the fitting portion is fitted to an extension member that is provided to extend toward the vehicle rear side from a roof side rail that holds an upper end portion of the front windshield glass.

According to the fourth aspect, since the fitting portion is fitted to the extension member that extends toward the vehicle rear side from the roof side rail that holds the upper end portion of the front window, the sunshade can be placed in the deployed state at a position relatively close to the occupant seated in the vehicle seat. Here, the field of view from the eyes of an occupant seated in the vehicle seat toward the windshield glass expands in the vehicle width direction as it goes toward the windshield glass side. Therefore, the vehicle width direction dimension of the sun visor body required to block the field of vision of the occupant can be made smaller as approaching the eyes of the occupant. Therefore, the dimension of the sun visor body in the vehicle width direction, which blocks the light incident on the eyes of the occupant by blocking the field of vision of the occupant, can be reduced.

Effects of the invention

The sun visor of the first aspect has an excellent effect of improving the light-shielding property.

The sun visor according to the second aspect has the excellent effect of improving usability.

The sun visor of the third aspect has an excellent effect of coping with various layouts of the vehicle seat.

The sun visor of the fourth aspect has an excellent effect that miniaturization can be achieved.

Detailed Description

(first embodiment)

A sun visor 12 of a first embodiment is explained with reference to fig. 1 to 7. The arrow FR, the arrow UP, and the arrow OUT shown in the drawings indicate the front direction, the upper direction, and the vehicle width direction outer side of the vehicle, respectively. Hereinafter, when only the front-rear direction, the up-down direction, and the left-right direction are used for description, the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the up-down direction of the vehicle, and the left-right direction of the vehicle are shown unless otherwise specified. Further, the dimensional ratio of the drawings is exaggerated for convenience of explanation and may be different from the actual ratio.

(integral constitution)

As shown in fig. 1, a vehicle 14 having a sun visor 12 is, for example, a passenger car having a plurality of vehicle seats 18 (see fig. 3) in a vehicle cabin 16. The vehicle seat 18 includes: a headrest 18A that supports a head H of a seated occupant P, a seat cushion 18B (see fig. 7) that is a seating portion on which the occupant P is seated, and a seat back 18C (see fig. 3) that supports a back B of the occupant P. Although not shown, the vehicle seats 18 are arranged in two rows as an example, and two seats, i.e., a driver seat and a passenger seat, are provided adjacent to each other in the vehicle width direction in the vehicle seat 18 in the first row on the vehicle front side.

An instrument panel (hereinafter referred to as "instrument panel") 22 is provided on the vehicle front side in the cabin 16 of the vehicle 14. Specifically, the dash panel 22 is disposed on an upper portion of a dash panel (not shown) that separates the cabin 16 and the front of the vehicle on the vehicle rear side. The lower end portion of the dash panel is joined to the front end portion of a floor panel, not shown, which constitutes the lower surface of the vehicle compartment 16. A cowl, not shown, is joined to an upper end portion of the cowl panel, and supports a lower end portion of the windshield 24. The windshield 24 constitutes the front surface on the upper side of the vehicle compartment 16, and the lower end portion side of the windshield 24 is disposed on the upper end portion side of the instrument panel 22. The upper end portion 24A of the windshield 24 is supported by a front roof rail 26 (see fig. 3) that is a roof rail constituting a part of the framework of the vehicle 14, via a fastener (not shown).

(Sun visors)

As shown in fig. 3, the sun visor 12 is provided on the vehicle rear side of a windshield 24 of the vehicle cabin upper portion and on the vehicle front side of the vehicle seat 18. That is, the sun visor 12 is provided corresponding to the vehicle seat 18 of the driver seat and the passenger seat, respectively. Each sun visor 12 is configured to include a fitting portion 28, a rod 30, and a sun visor body portion 32. Since the driver-side sun visor 12 and the passenger-side sun visor 12 are both configured in the same manner, only the driver-side sun visor 12 will be described in the following description.

(assembling portion)

The mounting portion 28 is provided at an upper portion of the vehicle compartment, specifically, at a position of the ceiling 34 corresponding to the front roof side rail 26. The attachment portion 28 is fixed to the front roof side rail 26 via a roof lining 36 as an interior material of the roof 34 by a fastener not shown. As shown in fig. 7, the fitting portion 28 is provided in a pair spaced apart in a substantially vehicle width direction. Specifically, the fitting portions 28 are provided at positions corresponding to one side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the vehicle width direction center of the seat cushion 18B of the vehicle seat 18 and at positions corresponding to the other side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the vehicle width direction center of the seat cushion 18B, respectively. That is, in a state where the occupant P is seated in the vehicle seat 18, the fitting portions 28 are disposed on both outer sides of the occupant P in the vehicle width direction.

(rod)

As shown in fig. 1, the rods 30 are formed in an elongated shape and are respectively fitted to the fitting portions 28 so as to be rotatable in the vehicle width direction as an axial direction. The lever 30 is configured to include: a first rod constituting member 30A formed in a cylindrical shape; and a second rod constituting member 30B formed in a cylindrical shape and having a diameter dimension set smaller than that of the first rod constituting member 30A. The first rod constituting member 30A constitutes the fitting portion 28 side of the rod 30, and the second rod constituting member 30B is inserted inside the end portion of the first rod constituting member 30A on the opposite side from the fitting portion 28 so as to be slidable along the axial direction of the first rod constituting member 30A (i.e., the rod 30). The second rod constituting member 30B is provided to be rotatable with respect to the first rod constituting member 30A about the axial direction of the first rod constituting member 30A. Therefore, the rod 30 can be expanded and contracted in the axial direction by changing the amount of insertion of the second rod constituting member 30B into the first rod constituting member 30A, and the second rod constituting member 30B can be rotated with respect to the first rod constituting member 30A about the axial direction of the first rod constituting member 30A as shown in fig. 2.

The holder 40 is attached to the distal end portion 30BA (the end portion on the opposite side from the first rod constituting member 30A) of the second rod constituting member 30B. The holder 40 is formed with an opening 40A that opens in the horizontal direction. The opening 40A is configured to hold a visor shaft 42 provided in the visor body 32, which will be described later, therein, and to be capable of releasing the held state of the visor shaft 42 by being elastically deformed in a substantially vehicle vertical direction. Thereby, the holder 40 is configured to be attachable to and detachable from the visor shaft 42 and the visor body 32. Since the holder 40 is joined to the second rod constituting member 30B, the holder 40 is provided to be rotatable with respect to the first rod constituting member 30A about the axial direction of the rod 30.

(Sun shield main body)

As shown in fig. 1, the sun visor body 32 is formed of a resin member formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape having a longitudinal direction in the vehicle width direction, as an example. The visor shafts 42 are provided at the vehicle upper side end portion and at both vehicle width direction end portions of the visor body 32 in the visor expanded state, respectively. As shown in fig. 2, the visor shaft 42 is formed in a cylindrical shape having the longitudinal direction of the visor body 32 as the axial direction, and is provided in a notch 44 formed by cutting out a part of the visor body 32. The range of the notch 44 is set to a size that does not cause interference between the holder 40 and the visor body 32 in a state where the visor shaft 42 is held by the holder 40.

(Sun visor stowed state)

As shown in fig. 3, in the sun visor 12, in the stowed state (see the two-dot chain line in the drawing), the rod 30 is retracted in the axial direction of the rod 30, and the rod 30 is rotated about the fitting portion 28 such that the retainer 40 is positioned on the vehicle rear side, whereby the rod 30 is extended toward the substantially vehicle rear side. Further, the sun visor body 32 is provided so as to extend substantially toward the vehicle front side by turning the sun visor body 32 about the holder 40 so that the end 46 on the opposite side to the notch 44 is positioned on the vehicle front side. In other words, the rod 30 and the sun visor body 32 are folded back to overlap in the vehicle vertical direction.

(Sun shield expansion state)

On the other hand, in the case of using the sun visor 12, the rod 30 is turned toward the vehicle front side integrally with the sun visor body 32 with respect to the fitting portion 28 with the vehicle width direction as the axial direction. Then, the rotation of the lever 30 is stopped at a position in which the axial direction of the lever 30 is substantially along the vehicle vertical direction (see the solid line in the figure), and only the sun visor body 32 is rotated toward the vehicle lower side with the vehicle width direction as the axial direction around the holder 40 (see the broken line in the figure). Then, as shown in fig. 4, the rod 30 is extended to move the sun visor body 32 in the vehicle vertical direction, whereby the sun visor body 32 can be placed at an appropriate light shielding position corresponding to the position of the eyes E of the occupant P. In the case of using the sun visor 12, not limited to the above-described method of use, as an example, as shown in fig. 5, the end 46 side of the sun visor body 32 (see the two-dot chain line in the figure) in the stowed state is grasped and pulled to be deployed toward the vehicle lower side, whereby the sun visor 12 can be shifted to the sun visor deployed state as shown in fig. 6.

As shown in fig. 1, when the light incident from the left side of the occupant P is blocked in the sun visor deployed state, the holding between the visor shaft 42 on the right side of the sun visor body 32 and the holder 40 is released, and the sun visor body 32 is rotated to the left side about the axial direction of the left rod 30 (see the broken line in the figure). This can block light incident from the left side of the occupant P. On the other hand, when the light incident from the right side of the occupant P is blocked, the holding between the visor shaft 42 on the left side of the visor body 32 and the holder 40 is released, and the visor body 32 is rotated to the right side about the axial direction of the right lever 30 (see the two-dot chain line in the figure). This can block light incident from the right side of the occupant P.

(action/Effect of the first embodiment)

Next, the operation and effect of the present embodiment will be described.

In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the sun visor 12 has a fitting portion 28, a rod 30, and a visor body portion 32. The fitting portion 28 is provided on the vehicle rear side of the windshield 24 of the vehicle compartment upper portion and on the vehicle front side of the vehicle seat 18. The fitting portion 28 is disposed in a pair of a position corresponding to one side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the vehicle width direction center of the seating position on the vehicle seat 18 and a position corresponding to the other side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the vehicle width direction center of the seating position on the vehicle seat 18. The rod 30 is formed in an elongated shape and is configured to be rotatable in the extending direction as an axial direction, and is fitted to the pair of fitting portions 28 so as to be rotatable in the vehicle width direction as an axial direction, respectively. The sun visor body 32 is provided to extend in the vehicle width direction, and one end portion in the vehicle width direction is engaged with the tip end portion 30BA of one of the pair of rods 30 via the holder 40 so as to be rotatable in the vehicle width direction as an axial direction, and the other end portion in the vehicle width direction is engaged with the tip end portion 30BA of the other of the pair of rods 30 via the holder 40 so as to be rotatable in the vehicle width direction as an axial direction. The visor body 32 is provided to be attachable to and detachable from the distal end portions 30BA of the pair of rods 30 via the holders 40, respectively. Therefore, when the one rod 30 of the pair of rods 30 is disengaged from the sun visor body 32 in the sun visor deployed state, the sun visor body 32 can be turned in the axial direction (see the two-dot chain line and the broken line in the drawing) in the extending direction of the other rod 30 of the pair of rods 30. That is, the sun visor body 32 can be moved outward in the width direction of the seat cushion 18B. Therefore, light incident on the occupant P seated in the vehicle seat 18 from both the side one side and the side other side of the occupant P can be blocked. This improves the light-shielding property.

Further, since the rod 30 is provided to be extendable and retractable in the extending direction, when the sun visor body 32 is moved toward the ceiling 34 of the vehicle cabin 16 and stored, as shown in fig. 3, the rod 30 can be retracted to store compactly. On the other hand, in the sun visor expanded state, the position of the sun visor body 32 can be adjusted by extending and contracting the rod 30. Therefore, the glare felt by the occupant P can be reduced by moving the sun visor body 32 to a position where the occupant P feels glare. Further, when stowed from the sun visor deployed state or vice versa, the rod 30 is retracted to move the sun visor body 32, thereby preventing the sun visor body 32 from hitting the head H of the occupant P.

(second embodiment)

Next, a sun visor according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 8 to 10. The same components as those in the first embodiment and the like are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

The sun visor 60 of the second embodiment has the same basic configuration as the first embodiment, and is characterized in that the sun visor 60 is provided at a substantially central portion in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle cabin 16.

That is, as shown in fig. 8, a vehicle 63 having a sun visor 60 is, as an example, a bus (bus, as an example) having a plurality of vehicle seats 18 in a vehicle cabin 16. Although not shown, the vehicle seats 18 are arranged in a plurality of rows as an example, and the vehicle seat 18 in the first row on the vehicle front side is provided with one seat as an operator's seat at a substantially central portion in the vehicle width direction.

(Sun visors)

As shown in fig. 9, the sun visor 60 is provided on the vehicle rear side of a windshield 65 in the upper portion of the vehicle compartment and on the vehicle front side of the vehicle seat 18. That is, the sun visor 60 is provided at a substantially central portion in the vehicle width direction corresponding to the driver's seat (see fig. 8). The sun visor 60 is configured to include: a fitting portion 64, a rod 30, a sun visor body 32, and a bracket 66 as an extension setting member.

(bracket)

The bracket 66 is formed to extend in the vehicle front-rear direction, for example, and the front end portion 66A is joined to the front roof rail 26 as a roof rail that supports the upper end portion 65A of the front window 65, and the rear end portion 66B is joined to the inner side surface of the roof panel 68. In other words, the bracket 66 extends from the front roof rail 26 toward the vehicle rear side. The bracket 66 is provided at a position corresponding to one side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the vehicle width direction center of the seat cushion 18B of the vehicle seat 18 provided at a substantially center portion in the vehicle width direction and at a position corresponding to the other side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the vehicle width direction center of the seat cushion 18B (see fig. 8). That is, in a state where the occupant P is seated in the vehicle seat 18, the brackets 66 are disposed on both outer sides of the occupant P in the vehicle width direction.

(assembling portion)

The fitting portions 64 are provided in a pair at a substantially central portion in the vehicle width direction of the upper portion of the vehicle compartment. Specifically, the mounting portion 64 is provided at a position corresponding to the bracket 66 of the ceiling 34. The mounting portion 64 is fixed to the bracket 66 via the headliner 36 of the roof 34 by a fastener not shown. Further, the fitting portion 64 is provided in a pair substantially separated in the vehicle width direction corresponding to the bracket 66. That is, as with the bracket 66, in a state where the occupant P is seated in the vehicle seat 18, the mounting portions 64 are disposed on both outer sides of the occupant P in the vehicle width direction.

As shown in fig. 8, when the light incident from the left side of the occupant P is blocked in the sun visor deployed state, the holding between the visor shaft 42 on the right side of the sun visor body 32 and the holder 40 is released, and the sun visor body 32 is rotated to the left side about the axial direction of the left rod 30 (see the broken line in the figure). This can block light incident from the left side of the occupant P. On the other hand, when the light incident from the right side of the occupant P is blocked, the holding between the visor shaft 42 on the left side of the visor body 32 and the holder 40 is released, and the visor body 32 is rotated to the right side about the axial direction of the right lever 30 (see the two-dot chain line in the figure). This can block light incident from the right side of the occupant P.

(action/Effect of the second embodiment)

Next, the operation and effect of the second embodiment will be described.

According to the above configuration, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained, because the sun visor 60 is configured in the same manner as the sun visor 12 of the first embodiment, except that it is provided at the substantially center portion in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle cabin 16. Further, since the pair of fitting portions 64 is provided at the substantially center portion in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle compartment 16, even for the occupant P seated in the vehicle seat 18 provided at the substantially center in the vehicle width direction, as shown in fig. 8, it is possible to block the light incident on the occupant P from both the one side and the other side of the occupant P. This can cope with various layouts of the vehicle seat 18.

Further, since the fitting portion 64 is fitted to the bracket 66 provided to extend toward the vehicle rear side from the front roof side rail 26 holding the upper end portion 65A of the front window 65, the visor expanded state can be arranged at a position relatively close to the occupant P seated in the vehicle seat 18. That is, as shown in fig. 10, the field of view from the eyes E of the occupant P seated in the vehicle seat 18 toward the windshield 65 tends to spread toward the windshield 65 side in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, the vehicle transverse direction dimension of the sun visor body 32 required to block the field of view of the occupant P can be made smaller as approaching the eyes E of the occupant P than in a typical sun visor 100 (see also fig. 9) mounted to the front roof rail 26. Therefore, the dimension of the sun visor body 32 in the vehicle width direction, which blocks the field of view of the occupant P and blocks the light incident on the eyes E of the occupant P, can be reduced. This enables miniaturization to be achieved.
