[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an awning unit for an automobile, and is devised so that even a user can use the sun visor afterwards as an option for the vehicle interior.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A conventional automobile sun visor is mounted independently of a rearview mirror and is mounted on the ceiling surface of the vehicle interior of the vehicle body in a relational state where it can be hoisted around a vertical axis and a horizontal axis. It is customary to achieve the effect of shade.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in this case, it is inevitable that the sun visor can be lifted and lowered in the two directions orthogonal to each other, so that blind spots or blind spots are inevitably achieved in achieving the awning effect, which is still incomplete. Even so, it is impossible to buy a separate sun visor and attach it to the vehicle body in a so-called retrofitting style in the user, which is inconvenient.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention intends to improve such a problem, and therefore, as an awning unit for an automobile, a U-shaped mounting bracket capable of sandwiching a supporting stay for a rearview mirror hanging from an interior ceiling surface of a vehicle body, and its mounting bracket. A rotary support shaft fitted to the front wall of the bracket, and a telescopic rod of a fixed length that is rotatably and pivotally connected to the tip of the rotary support shaft protruding from the bracket, and the end of the rod. It also consists of a sun visor that is pivoted up and down freely to the section, and the bracket is set so that it can be removably pinched and fixed to the middle position of the rear mirror support stay. is there.

[0005]

[Action]

 According to the above configuration of the present invention, since the rear-view mirror supporting stay that hangs down from the interior ceiling surface of the vehicle body is provided with the U-shaped mounting bracket, the bracket is attached to the middle position of the supporting stay. By detachably sandwiching and fixing, the sun visor can be retrofitted to the passenger compartment by the user, and the sun visor can be freely removed.

Moreover, the sun visor is pivotally attached to the distal end of the expandable rod so that it can be undulated, and the base end of the expandable rod is also pivotally connected to the distal end of the rotary support shaft so that it can be raised and lowered. In addition, since the rotation support shaft is rotatably fitted to the mounting bracket, the entire length of the expansion rod can be adjusted and operated while the sun visor is mounted and used on the vehicle body. By freely adjusting the direction in which the telescopic rod extends to 360 degrees, it is possible to achieve the perfect shade effect as desired by the driver or assistant and without blind spots or blind spots.

【Example】

 The concrete construction of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the illustrated embodiment. In FIGS. 1 and 2 showing the entire sunshade unit for an automobile, (C) is the interior ceiling surface of the vehicle body, As is well known, a rearview mirror support stay (11) is integrally hung, and a rearview mirror is pivotally attached to the lower end thereof. The awning unit (U) of the present proposal is constructed so that it can be mounted and used at its mid-height position while using this rear mirror support stay (11).

That is, (13) is a mounting bracket for the sunshade unit (U), and as is clear from FIGS. 3 to 5, has a U-shaped plan view which can sandwich the rear mirror support stay (11). A pair of screw receiving holes (14) are provided on both side walls (13a) facing each other, and an adjusting long hole () extending along a constant circular arc locus about the screw receiving hole (14). And a pair of 15) are formed so as to penetrate each. Then, by means of a pair of push screws (16) (17) and lock nuts (18) which are respectively inserted laterally into the screw receiving hole (14) and the adjustment elongated hole (15), the above-mentioned rear mirror support stay. It is designed to be sandwiched and fixed to (11).

Reference numeral (19) is also a bearing hole penetratingly formed in the front wall (13b) of the mounting bracket (13), in which the base end portion of the relatively short rotation support shaft (20) is inserted into the bush. It is rotatably fitted through a youth (21). Reference numeral (22) is a retaining bolt for the rotation support shaft (20), (23) is a washer, and (24) is a split groove provided at the tip of the rotation support shaft (20).

Further, (25) is a general term for expansion and contraction rods, and a plurality of unit pipes (25a) (25b) (25c) that gradually become finer from the base end side of a certain length to the tip end side. (25d) and (25e) are connected to each other so that they can be slidably operated adjacent to each other and cannot be separated from each other, as can be seen in known rod antennas and fishing rods. Therefore, although not shown in the drawing, when the entire length of the expansion rod (25) is shortened most, all the remaining unit pipes (25a) remain in the thickest unit pipe (25e) on the proximal end side. As a result, (25b), (25c), and (25d) are immersed.

A tongue piece (26) is integrally extended from the thickest unit tube (25e) on the proximal end side, and this is in the split groove (24) of the rotation support shaft (20). And is connected by its penetrating pivot (27). That is, the telescopic rod (25) can rotate integrally with the rotation support shaft (20), and can be undulated around the fulcrum of the pivot shaft (27) so as to bend from the rotation support shaft (20). It can also be operated.

Therefore, as far as that is the case, contrary to the above, the split groove (24) is directed to the unit tube (25e) side of the expansion rod (25), and the insertion tongue piece (26) thereof is directed to the rotary support shaft (20) side. Although not shown in the figure, the expansion rod (25) and the pivot shaft (20) may be pivotally connected to each other by a ball-shaped or cross-shaped universal joint (not shown). not useable.

Reference numeral (28) is a sun visor, and a pair of mounting pieces (29) facing each other are projected from a central portion behind the sun visor, and a pivot shaft (30) passing through the pair of mounting pieces (29) extends the above-mentioned expansion rod ( It is connected with the unit tube (25a) on the tip side in 25). Reference numeral (31) is an insertion tongue piece extended from the unit tube (25a), and is inserted inside the both attachment pieces (29).

The sun visor (28) is designed to be hoisted around the fulcrum of the pivot shaft (30) with respect to the telescopic rod (25). (28) and the telescopic rod (25) can also be pivotally connected by a ball-shaped or cross-shaped universal joint. In the figure, the sun visor (28) is shaped as a rectangle when viewed from the front, but other polygons, circles, petal shapes, and other various contour shapes can be adopted, and as long as the sunshade function can be performed. The sun visor (28) may have a room mirror (not shown) embedded therein.

In using the present invention having the above-mentioned structure, a rear mirror support stay (11) for suspending the mounting bracket (13) of the sunshade unit (U) from the interior ceiling surface (C) of the vehicle body As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the push screw (16) is screwed through the screw receiving hole (14), and the push screw (16) is also pushed through the adjusting slot (15). (17) is screwed onto the lock nut (18) so that the mounting bracket (13) is fixedly integrated with the rear mirror support stay (11) in a sandwiched state.

In this case, since the screw receiving hole (14) and the adjusting elongated hole (15) are formed in both side walls (13a) of the mounting bracket (13), the support stay (11) for the room mirror is formed. Even if the drooping form of) is bent and changed depending on each automobile manufacturer and each vehicle model, the mounting bracket (13) can be fixed and maintained in a regular stable state without being affected by this.

Then, as suggested from FIG. 1, the rotation support shaft (20) is rotated with respect to the mounting bracket (13), and the length of the expansion and contraction rod (25) is changed to short or long. Furthermore, the expansion rod (25) is undulated so as to be bent from the rotation support shaft (20) and the direction in which the expansion rod is extended is also adjusted, so that the sun rod attached to the front end portion of the expansion rod (25) can be adjusted. The visor (28) is used to shade the car driver and his assistants.

The mounting bracket (13) can be extracted from the rearview mirror support stay (11) by screwing back and pushing the push screws (16) and (17), and therefore the sunshade unit (U) is removed. You can freely carry and exchange it.
