Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a sun visor device that is attached to a motor vehicle equipped with a passive seat belt.

(Prior Art) A conventional sun visor device for attaching a sun visor to an automobile is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 55-8652.

This device will be explained with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7. First, a spherical body 103 is provided at the upper end of a stay 102 to which a sun visor 101 is rotatably attached, and a protruding shaft 103 is further provided at the upper end of this spherical body 103.
a is formed.

On the other hand, a synthetic resin bracket 104 attached to the vehicle body 100 is provided with a gripping part 104a and a bearing part 104b.
By inserting the protruding shaft 103a into b, the sun visor 101 and the stay 102 can be rotated.

Further, the sun visor 101 is attached to the stay 10.
It is rotatable around the second axis. Therefore, by rotating the stay 102 to be located in front of the driver's seat and rotating the sun visor 101 to a position along the ceiling of the passenger compartment, the stowed state can be achieved (as indicated by the broken line in FIG. 6). position), and
When the stay 102 is moved toward the door 105 and the sun visor 101 is rotated downward (the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 6), the door 1
It can be used for the 05 window glass 105a.

By the way, in recent years, when the door is closed, the buckle part that locks the engaging part provided at the tip of the seat belt moves along the guide rail provided on the roof side above the door, and automatically closes the seat belt. Some vehicles are equipped with a passive seat belt device to which the above seat belt can be attached.
If a sun visor device having the above configuration is attached to such a vehicle, the following problems may occur.

FIG. 7 shows the use of the sun visor device from the rear of the vehicle, in which the buckle portion B moves along a guide rail G attached to the trim T above the door. Since the sun visor 101 is rotatable around the axis of the stay 102, if the sun visor 101 is tilted so that its tip faces outward instead of directly downward (as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 6), Buckle part B of the above passive seat belt and this sun visor 10
1 may interfere with each other, preventing movement of the passive seat belt.

(Purpose of the invention) The present invention was made in order to solve the above problems, and when it is installed in a car equipped with a passive seat belt device, it is possible to prevent the movement of the passive seat belt by a sun visor. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a sun visor device for an automobile without any

(Structure of the invention) The present invention is a sun visor device that is attached to a car equipped with a passive seatbelt, in which a sphere is provided at the end of a stay that fixes the sun visor unrotatably, and the sphere is rotatably gripped. a bracket having a gripping portion that is attached to the vehicle body, an elongated projection being formed at the upper end of the spherical body, and an opening having a diameter larger than the longitudinal dimension of the projection in the gripping portion of the bracket; When the stay is moved toward the door, a pair of mutually opposing holes are formed on the periphery of the opening to have approximately the same diameter as the longitudinal dimension of the projection, and are located on both sides of the projection in the longitudinal direction. A guide section is provided.

According to such a configuration, when the stay is not located on the door side, the guide portions are not located on both sides of the projection in the longitudinal direction, and the opening is located in the longitudinal direction of the projection. Since the sun visor is formed to have a larger diameter than the dimension in the direction, the sun visor can be tilted, but when the stay is moved toward the door and used as a side visor, both ends of the projection in the longitudinal direction are Since the sun visor comes into contact with a guide portion formed to have approximately the same diameter and is fixed integrally with the stay in a non-rotatable manner, the range in which the sun visor can be tilted is limited.

That is, when used as a side visor, the amount of movement of the sun visor to the side of the vehicle body is restricted and it cannot be tilted outward, so it does not interfere with the buckle part that moves due to the passive seat belt device. without interfering with its operation.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

The upper part of the sun visor 1 is unrotatably fixed to the horizontal axis of a stay 2, and a sphere 3 whose upper part is cut out is provided at the upper end of the stay 2 extending upward from the horizontal axis. This sphere 3 has long sides 4a, 4a and short sides 4 facing each other at its upper end.
A protrusion 4 having a shape of 4b and 4b is formed, and the shape of the upper end of this protrusion 4 is made to match the extension of the outline of the sphere 3 (indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 3). It's summery.

On the other hand, a grip part 5a for rotatably gripping the sphere 3 is formed on the bracket 5 attached near the front door F inside the vehicle interior, and the long side 4a of the protrusion 4 is attached to the upper end of the grip part 5a. Openings 5b, 5b having a larger diameter than the dimensions are provided.

Then, when the stay 2 is moved toward the door F side as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the length of the long side of the projection 4 is adjusted so that it is located on both sides of the projection 4 in the longitudinal direction. A pair of guide portions 5c, 5c facing each other and having approximately the same diameter are provided.

Additionally, this automobile is equipped with a passive seat belt device, in which an engaging portion provided at the tip of the seat belt is inserted along a guide rail (not shown) provided at the top of the front door F. The buckle part to be locked is movable.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. First, when the stay 2 is positioned forward as shown in FIG. 2, the guide parts 5c, 5c are not provided on both sides of the protrusion 4 in the longitudinal direction, so the sun visor 1 is tilted. As shown by the broken line in FIG. 6, the sun visor 1 can be rotated to a position along the ceiling of the vehicle compartment to be in the stored state.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, when the sun visor 1 is turned downward and the stay 2 is moved toward the door F, guide portions 5c and 5c are provided on both sides of the projection 4 in the longitudinal direction. The guide parts 5c, 5c are formed to have approximately the same diameter as the long pieces 4a, 4a of the projection part 4, and since the sun visor 1 is fixed to the stay 2, the sun visor 1 is almost Cannot be tilted.

Therefore, when the sun visor 1 is positioned on the door F side, the amount of movement of the sun visor 1 toward the side of the vehicle is restricted, and the sun visor 1 does not tilt toward the outside of the vehicle body as shown in FIG. There is no interference with the buckle part that moves along the guide rail.
Therefore, the sun visor 1 can be prevented from interfering with the movement of the passive seat belt.

In the present invention, the shape of the upper end of the protrusion provided on the upper part of the sphere does not matter, but for example, as in the above embodiment, the upper part of the sphere 3 is cut out and the shape of the upper end of the protrusion 4 is made to match the outline of the sphere 3. If the configuration is made to match the extended one, the protrusion 4 can be accommodated within the grip 5a of the bracket 5, and the inclination angle of the sun visor 1 can be varied over a wide range.

(Effects of the invention) As explained above, the present invention allows the sun visor to be tilted around the sphere when it is not located on the door side. When the sun visor is moved to the side, the amount of movement of the sun visor to the side of the vehicle is restricted.
Since there is almost no inclination towards the outside of the car body,
In an automobile equipped with a passive seat belt device, the buckle portion that moves by the passive seat belt device does not interfere with the sun visor, and the movement of the passive seat belt is not hindered.
