JP 2001-334825 A

  In the conventional vehicle sun visor, the mirror body and the cover are attached to the sun visor main body via the holding member, and the number of parts increases by the amount of the holding member. For this reason, there existed a problem that manufacturing cost increased. Also, by locking the locking claw to the sun visor body, the mirror unit is attached to the sun visor body, and when the locking claw is released from the sun visor body, the mirror unit is moved to the sun visor body. There was a problem of falling off.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a plate-shaped sun visor body, a mirror body provided on the back surface portion of the sun visor body, and the mirror body on the back surface portion of the sun visor body. A sun visor for a vehicle comprising a closed position that is shielded and a cover that is movable between an open position where the mirror body is exposed to the outside, wherein the sun visor body has a front surface thereof. 1 structure and the 2nd structure which has the back surface of the said sun visor main body are mutually faced | matched and comprised, The said 2nd structure body is from the said back surface to the opposing surface with the said 1st structure body. A penetrating window hole is formed, and on the surface of the second structural body facing the first structural body, first and second mounting portions are provided so as to surround the window hole. The cover closes the window hole. Between the window and the open position where the window hole is opened, and can be moved in the direction along the back surface, and immovable in the direction along the back surface other than the direction connecting the closed position and the open position. In the second mounting portion, the mirror body is provided so as to be immovable in a direction along the back surface in a state where the mirror body is opposed to the window hole and is located on the front surface side from the cover. A pressing portion that presses the mirror against the second attachment portion is provided on a surface facing the second structure.
In this case, the second mounting portion is provided outside the first mounting portion and on the front surface side, and the cover is elastically deformable in a front-back direction connecting the front surface and the back surface of the sun visor body. The thickness of the cover in the front and back direction is set to a dimension larger than the distance in the front and back direction between the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion, and the cover is made of the mirror body by its own elastic force. It is desirable to be pressed against the second mounting portion.
It is desirable that a part of the first attachment part is also used as a part of the second attachment part so that the mirror body is pressed against the first attachment part via the cover.

  According to the present invention having the above-described characteristic configuration, the cover and the mirror body can be directly attached to the sun visor body, and no holding member is required. Therefore, the number of parts can be reduced by the amount of the holding member, and the manufacturing cost of the vehicle sun visor can be reduced. Moreover, since the cover and the mirror body are pressed and fixed to the first and second attachment portions surrounding the window hole, the cover and the mirror body are not detached from the sun visor body.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
1 to 7 show an embodiment of the present invention. The vehicle sun visor 1 of this embodiment has a sun visor body 2 having a substantially rectangular plate shape. A stay 3 </ b> A is rotatably provided at one end of the sun visor body 2 in the longitudinal direction. A support shaft 3B is provided at the other end of the sun visor main body 2 in a state in which the axis thereof coincides with the rotation axis of the stay 3A. The stay 3A is attached to the vehicle body, and the support shaft 3B is rotatably supported by a hook (not shown) provided on the vehicle body, so that the sun visor body 2 can be rotated by a predetermined angle range with respect to the vehicle body. It is supported so that it can be stopped at every angle or at any position.

  The sun visor body 2 includes a first structure 4 having a front surface 2 a and a second structure 5 having a back surface 2 b of the sun visor body 2. The first and second structural bodies 4 and 5 have the same shape as the two parts when the sun visor main body 2 is divided into two at the center in the thickness direction. 4a and 5a) are fixed to each other in a state of facing each other.

As shown in FIG. 3, a first contact surface 4 b extending along the peripheral edge portion is formed on the surface 4 a of the first structure 4 facing the second structure 5. A large number of protrusions 4c and connecting cylinder portions 4d are formed on the opposing surface 4a located on the inner side of the first contact surface 4b. The protrusion 4c is for improving the strength of the first structural body 4, but a part of the protrusion 4c is also used as a pressing portion 4e as described later. The connecting cylinder portion 4d is provided with its axis line facing the front and back direction, which is the direction connecting the front surface 2a and the back surface 2b of the sun visor body 2, and the tip portion is opened.

The first structural body 4 is integrally provided with a support shaft 3B. The support shaft 3B may be provided integrally with the second structural body 5, and is formed separately from the first and second structural bodies 4 and 5, and one of the first and second structures 4 or between them. You may arrange in.

As shown in FIG.4 and FIG.5, the 2nd contact surface 5b extended along the peripheral part is formed in the opposing surface 5a with the 1st structure 4 of the 2nd structure 5. As shown in FIG. The second contact surface 5b is abutted against the first contact surface 4b. A large number of protrusions 5c and connecting shaft portions 5d are formed on the opposing surface 5a located inside the second contact surface 5B. The protrusion 5 c is for reinforcing the second structural body 5. The connecting shaft portion 5d is erected with its axis line facing the front and back directions of the sun visor body 2, and is press-fitted into the connecting tube portion 4d. Accordingly, the first and second constituent bodies 4 and 5 are fixed in a state where the first and second contact surfaces 4b and 5b are in contact with each other. An adhesive may be inserted into the connecting tube portion 4d in advance before the connecting shaft portion 5d is inserted, and the connecting shaft portion 5d may be bonded and fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the connecting tube portion 4d. Similarly, the first and second contact surfaces 4b and 5b may also be fixed by bonding or other means.

The second structure 5 is formed with a window hole 5e penetrating from the back surface 2b to the facing surface 5a. The window hole 5e has a rectangular shape, and the longitudinal direction thereof is the longitudinal direction of the sun visor body 2 (left and right direction in FIG. 5; hereinafter, the left and right direction means the left and right direction in FIG. 5). It arrange | positions in the center a little left side of the 2nd structure 5 in the state which faced the same direction.

A first attachment portion 6 is formed on the facing surface 5 a of the second structure 5. The first attachment portion 6 is provided along the periphery of the window hole 5e. The 1st attachment part 6 has the 1st mounting part 6a and the 1st position control part 6b.

The first mounting portion 6a is configured by a plane substantially parallel to the back surface 2b, and extends annularly along the entire circumference so as to contact the window hole 2b. You may form the 1st mounting part 6a intermittently, without forming continuously in the circumferential direction of the window hole 2b. On the other hand, the 1st position control part 6b is formed in the form of the protrusion which stands | starts up toward the front surface 2a from the peripheral part of the outer side (side spaced apart from the window hole 2b) of the 1st mounting part 6a. It extends in a substantially “U” shape along the two long sides and one short side (the short side on the left side in FIG. 5) of the placement portion 6a. The first restricting portion 6b does not need to be continuous as a whole, and may be formed intermittently.

A cover 7 is attached to the first attachment portion 6. The cover 7 is formed by covering a core material made of, for example, a relatively hard resin with a foam layer and a skin, and the outer shape and size in plan view are the outer shape and size in plan view of the first placement portion 6a. Is set to be almost the same. Therefore, when the cover 7 is placed on the first placement part 6a, the position is determined by the first position restriction part 6b. That is, the cover 7 can move only in the left-right direction with respect to the direction along the first placement portion 6a (the direction along the back surface 2b), and is perpendicular to the long side portion of the first placement portion 6a (see FIG. 5 cannot move in the vertical direction). In addition, if it hits the first restricting portion 6b to the left, it cannot move any further. Hereinafter, the position of the cover 7 at this time is referred to as a closed position. When the cover 7 is located at the closed position, the cover 7 covers the entire window hole 2b. The cover 7 can move to the right by a predetermined distance from the closed position. If the cover 7 is moved to the right by a predetermined distance, the cover 7 hits the stopper portion 6c formed on the right end portion of the opposing surface 5a of the second structure 5, and cannot move further to the right. The position of the cover 7 at this time is an open position. When the cover 7 is located at the open position, the cover 7 opens most of the window hole 2b except for the right end. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the operation protrusion 7c is provided in the surface 7a (lower surface in FIG.6 and FIG.7) facing the window hole 2b of the cover 7. As shown in FIG. By operating this operating ridge 7c with a finger, the cover 7 can be moved in the left-right direction.

On the facing surface 5a of the second structural body 5, guide portions 6d and 6d are formed which are formed by extending the two long side portions of the first position restricting portion 6b to the right. The guide portions 6d and 6d guide the cover 7 when the cover 7 moves in the left-right direction between the closed position and the open position. Further, on the facing surface 5a, a support protrusion 6e extending rightward from the short side portion on the right side of the first placement portion 6a is formed. The front end surface of the support protrusion 6e is located on the same plane as the first placement portion 6a. Therefore, when the cover 7 moves between the closed position and the open position, the cover 7 slides on the first placement portion 6a and the front end surface of the support protrusion 6e.

The thickness (dimension in the front and back direction) of the cover 7 is set to be slightly larger than the height of the first position restricting portion 6b. Therefore, when the cover 7 is placed on the first placement portion 6a in a natural state where no external force is applied, the back surface (the upper surface in FIGS. 6 and 7) 7b located on the front surface 2a side of the cover 7 is the thickness of the cover 7 The first position restricting portion 6b is positioned closer to the front surface 2a than the tip surface of the first position restricting portion 6b by the difference from the height of the one position restricting portion 6b.

A second attachment portion 8 is provided on the facing surface 5 a of the second structure 5. The 2nd attachment part 8 has the 2nd mounting part 8a and the 2nd position control part 8b. The 2nd mounting part 8a is comprised by the front end surface of the 1st position control part 6b. Accordingly, the second mounting portion 8a has a substantially “U” shape in plan view. The second position restricting portion 8b is in the form of a protrusion and is formed in large numbers. A part (most part) of the multiple second position restricting portions 8b is disposed so as to be in contact with the outer side surface of the first position restricting portion 6b. In addition, the first position restricting portion 6b having a “U” shape is disposed corresponding to the two long side portions and one short side portion. The remaining part (two) of the second position restricting portion 8b is formed on the front end surface of the right end portion of the guide portion 6d so as to protrude from there toward the front surface 2a side. As a result of the second position restricting portion 6b being arranged in this way, the quadrilateral is partitioned from all the second position restricting portions 6b. The tip portions of all the second position restricting portions 8b are projected from the tip surface of the first position restricting portion 6b toward the front surface 2a.

The mirror body 9 is placed on the second placement portion 8 a of the second attachment portion 8. The mirror body 9 has substantially the same planar view shape and dimensions as the quadrangle defined by the second position restricting portion 8b. Therefore, when the mirror body 9 is mounted on the second mounting portion 8a, the mirror body 9 is prevented from moving in the direction along the back surface 2b by the second position restricting portion 8b. That is, the mirror body 9 is attached to the second attachment portion 8 so as not to move in the direction along the back surface 2b.

As described above, some of the ridges 4c among the ridges 4c formed on the facing surface 4a of the first structure 4 are arranged so as to face the window holes 5e, and the ridges 4c are It is set as the press part 4e. When the first and second components 4 and 5 are fixed to each other, the pressing portion 4e presses the tip surface (surface on the back surface 2b side) of the pressing portion 4e against the mirror body 9 attached to the second mounting portion 8. The height is determined so as to make contact. Therefore, the mirror body 9 is pressed against the second mounting portion 8a by the pressing portion 4e, and movement in the direction along the back surface 2b is prevented by the second position restricting portion 8b. In this way, the mirror body 9 is fixed to the sun visor body 2.

As described above, when the cover 7 is in a natural state where no external force acts on the cover 7, the back surface 7b of the cover 7 is positioned closer to the front surface 2a than the tip surface (second mounting portion 8b) of the first position restricting portion 6b. doing. Therefore, when the mirror body 9 is pressed against the second placement 8a by the pressing portion 4e, the cover 7 is elastically crushed by the mirror body 9 by the difference between the thickness and the height of the first position restricting portion 6b. As a result, the surface 7a of the cover 7 is pressed against the first placement portion 6a and the back surface 7b is pressed against the mirror body 9 by the elastic force of the cover 7 itself. Therefore, when the cover 7 is moved in the left-right direction, the cover 7 is moved against the frictional resistance that acts between the cover 7 and the first mounting portion 6 a and the mirror body 9. Conversely, the mirror body 9 can be stopped at any position between the closed position and the open position by such frictional resistance.

In the vehicle sun visor 1 having the above configuration, it is assumed that the cover 7 is now in the closed position. At this time, since the window hole 5e is closed by the cover 7, the mirror body 9 is not exposed to the outside through the window hole 5e and is covered by the cover 7. When the cover 7 is moved to the open position, most of the window hole 5e is opened, and the mirror body 9 is exposed to the outside from the opened portion. Therefore, the occupant can dress up using the mirror body 9. Thereafter, when the cover 7 is moved to the closed position, the mirror body 9 is covered with the cover 7.

According to the vehicle sun visor 1 having the above configuration, the cover 7 and the mirror body 9 are directly supported and fixed by the first and second components 4 and 5 of the sun visor body 2. Therefore, the mirror unit holding member is not required as compared with the conventional vehicle sun visor in which the mirror unit is attached to the sun visor body, and the manufacturing cost of the vehicle sun visor 1 can be reduced accordingly. Moreover, the 1st and 2nd attaching parts 6 and 8 to which the cover 7 and the mirror body 9 are respectively attached are formed around the window hole 5e, and accordingly the cover 7 and the mirror body 9 are seen from the window hole 5e in a plan view. Since it is formed large, it is possible to prevent the cover 7 and the mirror body 9 from dropping from the sun visor body 2 through the window hole 5e.

In addition, this invention is not limited to said embodiment, A various modification is employable in the range which does not deviate from the summary.
For example, in the above embodiment, the mirror body 9 is placed on the second placement portion 8a, but the second placement portion 8a is omitted and the mirror body 9 is covered by the first placement portion 6a. 7 may be placed. In that case, the outer dimension of the mirror body 9 in plan view is made larger than the outer dimension of the cover 7 in plan view. And the 2nd position control part 8b is spaced apart and arranged in the left-right direction from the cover 7 so that the movement of the left-right direction of the cover 7 may not be inhibited.
