[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, a sun visor for an automobile as shown in FIG. 5, for example, is known. As illustrated in this figure, the sun visor 1 is provided above the front window W1 of the driver's seat. Usually, this sun visor 1 is supported by a bracket 2 fixed to a corner of the ceiling, a hinge 3 rotatably supported by the bracket 2 in a horizontal direction, and a hinge rotatably supported in a vertical direction by the hinge 3. It is composed of the awning board 4. Then, as shown by the chain line, the sunshade 4 is normally set so as not to obstruct the field of view of the front window W1 by being flipped up around the hinge 3 at the upper part of the front window W1 and stored. There is.

With respect to the sunlight incident from the front of the driver's seat, the sunshade plate 4 in the stored state is vertically swung around the hinge 3 toward the front side to hang down the sunshade plate 4 and positioned above the front window W1 to shield light. It is designed to serve.

In addition, when sunlight is incident from the right side of the driver's seat, the awning plate 4 is rotated rightward about the vertical axis of the hinge 3 so that it is positioned above the side window W2. Is set.

Therefore, by appropriately rotating the awning plate 4 around the hinge 3 in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, the awning plate 4 can be used for light shielding within the range of the locus in which the awning plate 4 rotationally moves.

By the way, in the conventional sun visor 1 as described above, the front window W1 and the side window W2 where the window frame S exists regardless of the position of the shade plate 4. Sunlight enters from the boundary (corner R), and the corner R covers a fairly wide area because the incident direction changes.

With respect to the sunlight incident from the corner R in front of the turning seat, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 1, the sunshade plate 4 in the stored state is rotated around the hinge 3 vertically in the front direction. Although it is hung down and positioned above the front window W1, incident light often comes in through a corner R on the right side of the driver's seat as the traveling direction of the automobile changes. Then, as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 5, it is necessary to perform a troublesome operation to position the sunshading plate 4 above the side window W2 each time. That is, the conventional sun visor cannot cope with the change in the incident direction of the corner R when the position is set.

By the way, the corner R is diagonally to the right of the driver's visual field, and the incident light from this portion has a great influence on the driving operation. Therefore, it has been desired to shield the entire portion.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and by improving the support system of the above-mentioned sunshade 4, a considerably wide range (corner R The purpose of the present invention is to provide a sun visor 1 capable of shielding the light).
