Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a double panel structure applied to, for example, the sunroof shade of an automobile.

For example, as shown in Fig. 1, an automobile sunroof has an opening 1A in a roof panel 1, and a tilt lid 2 is attached to the front part of the opening, and a slide lid 3 is attached to the rear part of the opening, as shown by arrow A. There is a type in which the slide lid 3 can be opened and closed up and down as shown by the arrow B, and the slide lid 3 can be opened and closed by sliding back and forth as shown by the arrow B. In this type of sunroof, if the shade disposed below the lid covers the tilt lid 2 and slide lid 3 and is made into one piece, the door pocket 4 that stores it becomes long, and it is difficult to provide such a long door pocket 4 on the vehicle body. This is difficult considering its size. Therefore, if the shade is divided into two parts and the front shade 5 and the rear shade 6 are arranged so that they can be stacked vertically, for example, if the front shade 5 is made equal to the length a of the slide lid 3, the length of the door pocket 4 will be Takadaka a
(For example, if the width of the handle portion 5A of the front shade 5 is d, then the width is about a-d). In this way, the front shade 5 and the rear shade 6 are stored in the door pocket 4 in a vertically overlapping manner as shown by the dotted line. In the case of such a double shade structure, conventionally, as shown in FIG. Both side edges of the front shade 5 are slidably supported in the groove 7A, and both side edges of the rear shade 6 are slidably supported in the groove 7B. However, in such a configuration, two grooves must be provided in the guide rail, making the structure complex and wide, requiring a large space for installation. It has the disadvantage that it is not used and is wasted.

The purpose of this invention is to improve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks and simplify the dual structure of panels such as shades.A pair of main guide rails are installed along both sides of the opening, and one of the main guide rails is attached to the main guide rails. Both side edges of the panel are slidably supported, and a pair of sub guide rails parallel to the main guide rail are attached to the top surface of one panel, and the front legs of the other panel are slidably mounted on the rails. The main point is that the rear legs of the other panel are supported in a slidable manner on the main guide rail.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, it is only necessary to provide one supporting means such as a groove on the main guide rail, and the width is small, so that it does not take up much space for installation.Moreover, the sub guide rail has the same width as the front and back sliding width of the other panel. It suffices to provide the rail with the minimum necessary length depending on the situation, and it is therefore possible to avoid unnecessary length of the rail.

The present invention will be explained with reference to an embodiment shown in FIG. Two grooves 17A are provided. Reference numeral 15 denotes a front shade, and a plurality of sliding pieces 15A are extended from both side edges, and the sliding pieces 15A fit into the groove 1 of the main guide rail 17.
It is slidably fitted into 7A. Further, an upwardly bent portion 15B is formed at the rear edge of the front shade 15, and a cushioning material 1 such as rubber is inserted into the bent portion 15B.
5C is coated. Furthermore, a pair of sub-guide rails 18 parallel to the main guide rail 17 are attached to the upper surface of the front shade 15, and the sub-guide rails 18 are provided with one groove 18A. 1
6 is the rear shade, and the front part has a narrow part 16E.
A front leg portion 16B hangs down from both side edges of the narrow portion 16E, and the lower end of the front leg portion 16B is bent outward to become a sliding portion 16A and fit into the groove 18A of the sub-guide rail 18. It is slidably inserted. Furthermore, rear leg parts 16D are suspended from both edges of the rear part of the rear shade 16, and the lower ends of the rear leg parts 16D are bent outward to become sliding parts 16C and slide into the grooves 17A of the main guide rail 17. It is inserted so that it can move freely. Furthermore, a downwardly bent portion 16F is formed at the rear edge of the rear shade 16, and a downwardly hanging portion 16G is also formed at the front portion.

In the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 5, if you hold the handle 15D of the front shade 15 in your hand and slide it in the direction of arrow C (backward) (that is, if you open it), the rear shade 16 will move to the sub guide rail 18. Groove 18A
Due to the frictional resistance between the sliding part 16A of the rear shade 16, or the groove 17A of the main guide rail 17 and the sliding part 16C, it slightly follows the front shade 15 and moves slightly backward, or the friction If the resistance is small, no sliding occurs at all, and as shown in FIG. is pushed by it and completely follows the rearward sliding movement of the front shade 15. Thus, the front shade 15 and the rear shade 16 are stored in the door pocket 4 in an overlapping manner, as shown by the dotted line in FIG. Next, when the front shade 15 is pulled out from the door pocket 4 via the handle 15D (by sliding it in the opposite direction of the arrow A), the bent part 15B of the front shade 15 is brought into contact with the hanging part of the rear shade 16, as shown in FIG. 16F through the cushioning material 15C, the rear shade 16 is pulled by it and completely follows the forward sliding (sliding in the closing direction) of the front shade 15.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. For example, the rail 17 is made into a round bar shape, and the gripping portions 15A are held out from both side edges of the shade 15 and the gripping portions 15A are slidably fitted onto the rail 17. You may. It may also be applied to panels other than shades.
