  The sun visor disclosed in Patent Document 1 is developed in a flat shape at the use position by the spring force of the retainer and the pulling force of the wire, and bends in accordance with the bent shape of the headlining (roof trim) at the storage position, so that the structure is complicated. There is a possibility that damage will occur due to long-term use.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a sun visor that can be stored in accordance with the bent shape of the roof trim without impairing durability.

  In order to achieve the above object, according to a first aspect of the present invention, the roof trim has a trim ceiling surface portion, a trim vertical surface portion, and a trim inclined surface portion, and the trim vertical surface portion extends downward from the front edge of the trim ceiling surface portion. A sun visor for a vehicle in which a trim inclined surface portion extends obliquely downward and forward from a lower end edge of a trim vertical surface portion, and includes a first main body plate portion and a second main body plate portion that are continuously bent at a predetermined angle at a linear bent portion. Have one.

  The edge portion of the first main body plate portion that is the opposite side of the bent portion is supported by the roof trim so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis that extends in the vehicle width direction along the lower surface of the trim inclined surface portion. The first main body plate portion is tiltable about the rotation axis between a storage position extending rearward and obliquely upward along the trim inclined surface portion from the rotation axis and a use position extending downward from the rotation axis. The predetermined angle between the first main body plate portion and the second main body plate portion is such that the second main body plate portion extends upward along the trim vertical surface portion in the storage state in which the first main body plate portion is set at the storage position. Further, it is set according to the inclination angle of the trim inclined surface portion with respect to the trim vertical surface portion.

  In the above configuration, in the storage state of the sun visor, the first main body plate portion and the second main body plate portion are in a state along the trim inclined surface portion and the trim vertical surface portion, respectively. Therefore, the sun visor can be stored in accordance with the bent shape of the roof trim.

  Further, since the first main body plate portion and the second main body plate portion are integrally provided and the first main body plate portion and the second main body plate portion are not relatively movable, the durability of the sun visor may be impaired. Absent.

  A second aspect of the present invention is the sun visor according to the first aspect, wherein at least one of both end portions of the bent portion is harder than the first main body plate portion and the second main body plate portion and tilts the sun visor. A grip that can be held by the occupant is fixed.

  In the above configuration, since the sun visor is bent at the bent portion, the tip edge of the sun visor (the end of the second main body plate portion located on the opposite side of the bent portion in the folded state) is compared with the case where the entire sun visor is planar. Edge) is displaced upward. For this reason, for example, an occupant with a low seating height may not be able to reach the tip edge of the sun visor. Even in such a case, the occupant has a hard grip positioned at the upper end of the first main body plate portion. The sun visor can be easily pulled down from the storage position.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the upper portion of the vehicle compartment 2 of the vehicle 1 is partitioned by a roof trim (roof headlining) 3. The roof trim 3 integrally includes a trim ceiling surface portion 4, a trim vertical surface portion 5, and a trim inclined surface portion 6. The trim ceiling surface portion 4 is disposed to face the lower surface of the roof panel 7, and the trim vertical surface portion 5 extends downward from the front end edge of the trim ceiling surface portion 4. The trim inclined surface portion 6 extends obliquely downward from the lower end edge of the trim vertical surface portion 5, and the front end of the trim inclined surface portion 6 approaches or contacts the upper end edge of the front window panel 8.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the sun visor 10 has a shape in which a rectangular flat plate is bent in an L shape, and is a first main body plate that is continuously bent and bent at a predetermined angle by a linear bent portion 13. The part 11 and the second main body plate part 12 are integrally provided. In the present embodiment, the driver's seat sun visor 10 attached to the front upper side of the driver's seat in the passenger compartment 2 will be described, but the passenger's seat sun visor 10 attached to the front upper side of the passenger seat may be used.

  The sun visor 10 (the first main body plate portion 11 and the second main body plate portion 12) is formed by covering the surface of a relatively soft resin pad such as urethane with an outer skin such as a resin sheet material. The outer periphery of the sun visor 10 is roughly constituted by a pair of long sides (first and second long sides 14, 15) and a pair of short sides (first and second short sides 16, 17). Composed. The first long side portion 14 is a linear end edge portion of the first main body plate portion 11 that is the opposite side of the bent portion 13, and the second long side portion 15 is a second side that is the opposite side of the bent portion 13. It is a linear end edge portion of the main body plate portion 12. The first and second short side portions 16 and 17 are bent in an L shape at a bent portion 13 that intersects at an intermediate portion thereof.

  A sun visor shaft portion (rotating shaft) 18 is inserted along the first long side portion 14 inside the first long side portion 14, and the first main body plate portion 11 (sun visor 10) is connected to the sun visor shaft portion 18. Is supported rotatably. The right end portion of the sun visor shaft portion 18 protrudes from the right end portion of the first long side portion 14 and bends in an L shape, and the tip thereof is freely rotatable on a shaft support member 23 fixed to the right end portion of the trim inclined surface portion 6. Supported. The first long side portion 14 is formed with a notch 20 that exposes an intermediate portion (locking portion 19) of the sun visor shaft portion 18, and the trim inclined surface portion 6 is provided with the locking portion 19 of the sun visor shaft portion 18. A clip-like engagement portion 21 that is detachably engaged is fixed. The sun visor shaft portion 18 extends in the vehicle width direction along the lower surface of the trim inclined surface 6 in a state where the locking portion 19 is engaged with the engagement portion 21 (a shaft engagement state).

  A U-shaped frame 22 for holding the shape of the sun visor 10 is inserted inside the first and second short side portions 16 and 17 and the second long side portion 15. The portion of the frame 22 that passes through the short side portions 16 and 17 bends at a predetermined angle at a position that intersects the bent portion 13.

  In the shaft engagement state, the first main body plate portion 11 has a storage position (see FIG. 2A) extending rearward and obliquely upward from the sun visor shaft portion 18 along the trim inclined surface portion 6, and downward from the sun visor shaft portion 18. It can be tilted around the sun visor shaft 18 between the extended use position (see FIG. 2B). In the present embodiment, the first main body plate portion 11 covers the entire angle range from the position where the first main body plate portion 11 extends obliquely downward and rearward from the sun visor shaft portion 18 to the position where the first main body plate portion 11 extends obliquely downward and forward and close to the front window panel 8. 11 use positions. In the use state in which the first main body plate portion 11 is set at the use position, the sun visor 10 shields the front upper part of the occupant (driver) 30 (upper part of the front window panel 8).

  The distance from the first long side portion 14 to the bent portion 13 (the width of the first main body plate portion 11) is such that the bent portion 13 is the trim inclined surface portion 6 in the storage state in which the first main body plate portion 11 is set at the storage position. It is set longer than the distance from the sun visor shaft portion 18 in the shaft engagement state to the rear end edge of the trim inclined surface portion 6 so as to protrude rearward from the rear end edge. The predetermined angle between the first main body plate portion 11 and the second main body plate portion 12 is set so that the second main body plate portion 12 extends upward along the rear surface of the trim vertical surface portion 5 in the housed state. It is set according to the inclination angle of the trim inclined surface portion 6 with respect to.

  When the first main body plate portion 11 is lowered to the use position in the shaft engagement state and the sun visor 10 is pulled rearward to remove the locking portion 19 from the engagement portion 21, the sun visor 10 becomes the shaft support member of the sun visor shaft portion 18. By rotating the sun visor 10 to the right, the side upper part of the occupant 30 (the upper part of the side window panel 9) is shielded from light by the sun visor 10 (see FIG. 3).

  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, grips that can be gripped by the occupant to tilt the sun visor 10 are located at both ends of the bent portion 13 of the first and second short sides 16 and 17. Each 24 is fixed. The grip 24 has a U-shaped cross section that curves along the bent portion 13, and is fixed to the short side portions 16 and 17 so as to sandwich the frame 22 from the outside of the first main body plate portion 11 and the second main body plate portion 12. Is done. In the present embodiment, the grip 24 is composed of two divided bodies 24a and 24b, through holes are formed in the short side portions 16 and 17 on the inner side of the frame 22, and a locking projection is integrally formed on the back surface of one divided body 24a. Forming an engaging recess that engages with the locking protrusion on the back surface of the other divided body 24b, and inserting the locking protrusion into the through hole to engage with the engaging recess, thereby dividing the divided body 24a, 24b is integrated and fixed to each short side part 16,17.

  The grip 24 is formed of a material (for example, hard resin) that is harder than the first main body plate portion 11 and the second main body plate portion 12. The inner surface (grip surface) 26 of the peripheral edge 25 of the grip 24 is recessed so as to be slightly lower than the peripheral edge 25. Note that the grip 24 may be attached to only one of the two short sides 16 and 17.

  According to this embodiment, in the storage state of the sun visor 10, the first main body plate portion 11 and the second main body plate portion 12 are in a state along the trim inclined surface portion 6 and the trim vertical surface portion 5, respectively. Therefore, the sun visor 10 can be accommodated according to the bent shape of the roof trim 3.

  Moreover, since the 1st main body board | plate part 11 and the 2nd main body board | plate part 12 are provided integrally, and the 1st main body board | plate part 11 and the 2nd main body board | plate part 12 do not move relatively, durability of the sun visor 10 is sufficient. Will not be damaged.

  Further, since the sun visor 10 is bent at the bent portion 13, the tip edge (second long side portion 15) of the sun visor 10 is displaced upward in the housed state as compared with the case where the entire sun visor is planar. . For this reason, for example, an occupant with a low seating height may not be able to reach the second long side portion 15 of the sun visor 10, but even in such a case, the occupant is not able to reach the first main body plate portion 11. By holding the hard grip 24 located at the upper end, the sun visor 10 can be easily pulled down from the storage position.

  Further, in the bent portions 13 of the first and second short side portions 16 and 17, wrinkles are likely to occur on the inner skin of the bent portions, but since this portion can be covered with the grip 24, the appearance looks good. .
