The winding shaft 32 is attached so as to be rotatable about its axis. A coil spring (not shown) is built in the winding shaft 32, and the shade 31 is automatically wound by the rotation of the winding shaft 32 due to the restoring force of the coil spring. There is. That is, the upper end of the shade 31 and the shade frame 34 are configured to be biased toward the winding shaft 32.

As shown in FIG. 2, the shade frame 34 includes an elongated frame main body 37 attached to the upper end of the shade 31, slide portions 38 and 38 attached to both ends of the frame main body 37 in the longitudinal direction, respectively. Equipped with. The slide portion 38 is externally inserted into an end portion of the frame body portion 37, and is configured to be slidable with respect to the frame body portion 37 along its longitudinal direction (the left-right direction in FIG. 2). The shade frame 34 is configured to be expandable/contractible in the longitudinal direction by sliding the pair of slide portions 38, 38 with respect to the frame body portion 37.

The moving device 40 includes a motor 41, a gear 42 attached to a drive shaft of the motor 41, and a pair of geared wires 45 and 45 meshed with the gear 42. The motor 41, the gear 42, and the pair of geared wires 45, 45 are arranged, for example, on the back side of the package tray 14.

As shown in FIG. 4, the pillar garnish 20 is arranged so as to cover the pillar panel 15, and has a plate-shaped member 21 arranged on the outer side in the vehicle width direction and a plate-shaped member constituting the upper end portion of the pillar garnish 20. The first guide rail constituent member 22, the plate-shaped second guide rail constituent member 23 arranged between the plate-shaped member 21 and the first guide rail constituent member 22, and the plate-shaped member 21 inside the vehicle width direction (Fig. 4, a skin material 24 covering from the right side). The pair of second guide rail constituent members 23, 23 are fixed to, for example, both ends in the longitudinal direction of the storage case 33, as shown in FIG. 2.

The pillar garnish 20 has a facing surface 20A facing the facing pillar garnish 20, and the facing surface 20A is provided with a step portion 25 that is relatively low in the passenger compartment (the lower side in FIG. 4). There is. The step portion 25 has a vehicle interior side surface 25A (vehicle interior side surface) facing the vehicle interior side, and the vehicle interior side surface 25A is provided with an accommodation groove 25B in which the slider 35 is accommodated. The vehicle interior side surface 25A and the accommodation groove 25B are configured by the first guide rail constituent member 22 and the second guide rail constituent member 23. That is, the first guide rail constituent member 22 and the second guide rail constituent member 23 constitute a guide rail.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the slider 35 has a substantially columnar shape and is made of, for example, a synthetic resin material (for example, polyacetal) having excellent slidability and slides in the accommodation groove 25B. It is possible. The second guide rail constituent member 23 is provided with a fitting portion 23A having a U-shaped cross section, which follows the shape of the slider 35. The slider 35 is fitted in the fitting portion 23A. The accommodation groove 25B is configured by the fitting portion 23A and the lower end portion of the first guide rail constituent member 22, and extends along the extending direction of the pillar garnish 20. Further, the accommodation groove 25B is opened toward the vehicle interior side, and the slider 35 is integrally formed with a connecting portion 36 so as to extend from the slider 35 toward the vehicle interior side. The slider 35 and the slide portion 38 of the shade frame 34 are connected by a connecting portion 36.

The geared wire 45 is housed in the housing groove 25B, and the slider 35 is connected to the upper end of the geared wire 45 in the housing groove 25B. As a result, when the gear 41 rotates in the normal direction by driving the motor 41, each geared wire 45 rises in each accommodation groove 25B. As a result, the slider 35 moves up in the accommodation groove 25B. As a result, the shade 31 can be expanded by raising the shade frame 34. On the other hand, when the gear 41 rotates in the reverse direction by driving the motor 41, the slider 35 descends in the accommodation groove 25B. As a result, the shade frame 34 is lowered, whereby the shade 31 is wound up by the winding shaft 32, and the shade 31 can be stored in the storage case 33. As shown in FIG. 3, the storage case 33 is arranged between the package trays 14, and the shade 31 is configured to be taken in and out of the storage case 33 through the opening 14A of the package tray 14.

Further, in the present embodiment, the pair of pillar garnishes 20, 20 are arranged so as to be closer to each other as they go upward, and correspondingly, the pair of second guide rail constituent members 23, 23, and by extension, the pair of second guide rail constituent members 23, 23. The housing grooves 25B, 25B are arranged so as to approach each other as they go upward (see FIG. 2). When the shade frame 34 moves up and down, the slide portions 38, 38 of the shade frame 34 slide, and the entire length of the shade frame 34 has a pair of second guide rail constituting members 23, 23 (and thus a pair of housing grooves 25B, 25B). ) Is adjusted according to the facing distance.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, in a developed state in which the shade 31 (broken line in FIG. 4) covers the rear window glass 11, at least a part of a side end portion of the shade 31 is located in the vehicle interior side surface 25A (and the housing). At least a part of the groove 25B) is covered from the vehicle interior side. 2 illustrates the shade 31 in the unfolded state, and the reference numeral 31A is attached to the overlapping portion (at least a part of the side end portion in the shade) of the shade 31 that overlaps with the vehicle interior side surface 25A. That is, the overlapping portion 31A is a portion (covering portion) that covers the vehicle interior side surface 25A from the vehicle interior side.

Next, the effect of this embodiment will be described. According to the present embodiment, the shade 31 can be expanded by moving the slider 35 along the accommodation groove 25B. In the unfolded state, at least a part of the side end portion of the shade 31 covers at least a part of the vehicle interior side surface 25A from the vehicle interior side, so that a gap may occur between the pillar garnish 20 and the shade 31. Can be suppressed. As a result, it is possible to suppress the situation where outside light enters the inside of the vehicle.

As shown in Comparative Example 1 of FIG. 6, the shade 131 (shown by a chain double-dashed line) is made smaller than the pair of pillar garnishes 120, 120, and the slider 135 is housed in the housing groove 125B opening inward in the vehicle width direction. With such a configuration, a gap is created between the shade 131 and the pillar garnish 120, and external light enters the inside of the vehicle through the gap.

Therefore, as a configuration for closing the gap between the pillar garnish and the shade, as shown in Comparative Example 2 of FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the pillar garnish 220 is formed with a housing groove 225B that opens inward in the vehicle width direction. A configuration is conceivable in which the side end of the shade 231 is housed together with the slider 235 in the housing groove 225B. In this case, in order to completely close the gap between the pillar garnish 220 and the shade 231, it is necessary to make the width of the shade 231 larger than the facing distance between the pair of pillar garnishes 220, 220. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, the accommodation space of the shade 231 in the pillar garnish 220 becomes larger as it goes upward. This causes a problem that the width of the pillar garnish 220 becomes larger.

Further, in Comparative Example 2, as shown in FIG. 8, when the shade 231 operates, the inner surface of the housing groove 225B may slide on the shade 231 and sound may be generated. Further, from the viewpoint of design, the accommodation groove is preferably along the extending direction of the pillar garnish, and a curved accommodation groove may be required in some cases. However, in Comparative Example 2, if the accommodation groove 225B is curved, the shade 231 may bend in the accommodation groove 225B and wrinkles may occur in the shade 231. Therefore, it is difficult to make the accommodation groove 225B curved. Further, in the configuration of Comparative Example 2, since the accommodation groove 225B is opened to the inner side in the vehicle width direction, the accommodation groove 225B is easily visually recognized by the occupant over the entire length thereof, and the design is deteriorated.

According to the present embodiment, the step portion 25 is provided on the pillar garnish 20, the vehicle interior side surface 25A is formed, and then the accommodation groove 25B opening to the vehicle interior side is formed on the vehicle interior side surface 25A. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the side surface 25A of the passenger compartment is covered with the side end portion (superimposed portion 31A) of the shade 31. With such a configuration, it is possible to suppress a situation in which a gap is formed between the shade 31 and the pillar garnish 20 without housing the shade 31 in the housing groove 25B. Thereby, the problem of Comparative Example 2 can be solved. That is, it is possible to reduce the thickness of the pillar garnish 20 and prevent sliding noise, and it is also possible to make the accommodation groove 25B curved. Further, in the present embodiment, since the shade 31 can partially cover the accommodation groove 25B, it is possible to prevent the accommodation groove 25B from being visually recognized by an occupant. Note that in FIG. 5, the trapezoidal shape of the rear window glass 11 is exaggerated in order to make the effects of the present embodiment easier to understand.

Further, in the present embodiment, the connecting portion 36 that connects the slider 35 and the shade 31 extends from the slider 35 to the inner side in the up-down direction of the vehicle interior (the vehicle interior side). By configuring the connecting portion 36 to extend inward in the vehicle up-down direction from the slider 35, for example, compared to a configuration in which the connecting portion 36 extends inward in the vehicle width direction from the slider 35, the vehicle width direction (width of the rear window glass 11) is increased. (Direction), the length of the connecting portion 36 can be made smaller, and space saving of the sunshade device 30 in the vehicle width direction can be achieved.

<Embodiment 2>
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, the configuration near the connecting portion between the pillar garnish and the shade is different from that in the above embodiment. The same parts as those in the above-described embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate description will be omitted. As shown in FIG. 9, the pillar garnish 320 of the present embodiment includes a plate-shaped member 321 arranged on the outer side in the vehicle width direction, a first guide rail constituent member 22 forming an upper end portion of the pillar garnish 320, and a plate-shaped member. A second guide rail constituting member 323 arranged between the member 321 and the first guide rail constituting member 22 and a skin material 324 for covering the plate member 321 from the vehicle width direction inner side (right side in FIG. 9) are provided.

The end of the outer skin 324 on the outer side of the vehicle compartment is sandwiched between the plate-shaped member 321 and the second guide rail forming member 323, and is arranged on the outer side of the vehicle interior than the side end 331A of the shade 331. This makes it difficult for the occupant to visually recognize the boundary portion between the skin material 324 and the second guide rail constituent member 323, and the designability can be further enhanced. Further, in the present embodiment, the surface of the first guide rail constituent member 22 and the surface of the skin material 324 are substantially flush with each other except for the vicinity of the step portion 25.

The connecting portion 336 extends from the slider 35 to the inside of the vehicle compartment, is folded back to the outside of the vehicle compartment, and is connected to the slide portion 338 of the shade frame 334 at its tip. With such a configuration, the shade frame 334 can be arranged further upward (on the side of the ceiling interior material 13, see FIG. 3) as compared with the configuration of the first embodiment. Accordingly, by bringing the shade frame 334 closer to the ceiling interior material 13, it is possible to further reduce the gap between the shade frame 334 and the ceiling interior material 13 and prevent external light from entering the vehicle interior. Can be suppressed. Further, in the present embodiment, the side end portion 331A of the shade 331 is arranged outside the side end portion of the frame main body portion 337 in the vehicle width direction (left side in FIG. 9), and the side end portion 331A causes the vehicle interior side surface 25A. The accommodation groove 25B is covered from the vehicle interior side.
