And the cable C moves along the cable guide 44 and the rail 51, and pushes the guide part 61a to the vehicle rear. Thus, the blind sheet 21 is developed.

  The blind sheets 20 and 21 and the entire blind sheet 22 are sheets (light-reducing sheets) that reduce the amount of light inserted into the passenger compartment, and are, for example, net-like sheets or translucent sheets. The blind sheet 20 and the entire blind sheet 22 have different light shielding rates. For example, the entire blind sheet 22 has a higher light blocking rate than the blind sheet 20. The blind sheet 21 has substantially the same light shielding rate as the blind sheet 20.

Next, a usage mode of the blind device 1 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, the blind device 1 can be transformed into a form in which the first window portion 11 a is covered with the blind sheet 20 and a form in which it is not covered. And the method can be performed by moving the auxiliary winding shaft 60 up and down. When the auxiliary winding shaft 60 is lifted to the upper end of the first window portion 11a, only the blind sheet 20 can be unfolded by controlling the rotation of the winding shaft 30 by the torque operating means 45.

Moreover, the blind apparatus 1 can also be made into the form which covers the 1st window part 11a and the 2nd window part 11b at once with the whole surface blind sheet 22, as shown in FIG. And the method winds up the blind sheet 20 on the auxiliary winding shaft 60 from the state of FIG. That is, the torque operating means 45 is loosened and the blind sheet 20 is wound up by the auxiliary winding shaft 60.
Alternatively, the entire blind sheet 22 can be expanded when the auxiliary winding shaft 60 is lifted. That is, the blind sheet 20 is lifted while being wound around the auxiliary winding shaft 60. In this method, the auxiliary winding shaft 60 is lifted while the torque operating means 45 is loosened.
Furthermore, the blind apparatus 1 can also be made into the form which does not cover the form which covers the 2nd window part 11b with the blind sheet 21, as shown in FIG.

The blind device 1 is configured as described above.
That is, the blind device 1 has the entire blind sheet 22 as shown in FIG. 2, and the entire blind sheet 22 is added to the blind sheet 20 in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. One end side is attached to the winding shaft 30, and the other end side is attached to the auxiliary winding shaft 60. As shown in FIG. 2, the auxiliary winding shaft 60 moves in the vertical direction from the winding shaft 30 to wind up the blind sheet 20.
Therefore, according to this embodiment, the blind device 1 can be transformed into various modes. For example, the first window portion 11a and the second window portion 11b can be covered with separate blind sheets 20 and 21 as shown in FIG. And the 1st window part 11a and the 2nd window part 11b can also be covered with the whole surface blind sheet 22 at once, as shown in FIG. Therefore, the blind device 1 can be transformed into various modes and has a configuration that is excellent in convenience. Further, the entire surface blind sheet 22 is developed by using a component (such as a winding shaft 30 or a developing means) for developing the blind sheet 20. Therefore, the blind device 1 can be transformed into various modes by a rational configuration.

The blind sheet 20 and the entire blind sheet 22 have different light shielding rates.
Therefore, the light shielding rate in the first window portion 11a can be changed. For example, by switching between the case where the first window portion 11a is covered with the blind sheet 20 as shown in FIG. 5 and the case where the first window portion 11a is covered with the entire blind sheet 22 as shown in FIG. Can be changed.
Further, the light shielding rate in the second window portion 11b can be changed. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the second window portion 11 b is covered with the blind sheet 21, when covered with the entire blind sheet 22 as shown in FIG. 6, and with two layers of the blind sheet 21 and the entire blind sheet 22. By switching to the case of covering, the light shielding rate in the second window portion 11b can be changed.
Thus, according to this embodiment, the selection range of the light shielding rate is increased, and the convenience of the blind device 1 is increased.

The take-up shaft 30 is provided along the lower edges of the first window portion 11a and the second window portion 11b as shown in FIG. 1, and takes up the entire blind sheet 22 as shown in FIG. On the other hand, the auxiliary winding shaft 60 moves to the upper edge side of the first window portion 11a and winds only the blind sheet 20.
Therefore, the auxiliary winding shaft 60 can be shortened in length because it is not necessary to wind the entire blind sheet. The auxiliary winding shaft 60 is configured to move with respect to the first window portion 11a, and the first window portion 11a has a relatively simple configuration as compared to the second window portion 11b (see FIG. 1). Therefore, the shape of the auxiliary winding shaft 60 can be simplified, or the moving direction of the auxiliary winding shaft 60 can be simplified.
