【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、車両の運転席や助手席への直射光を避けるために車室の前部天井に取り付けられるサンバイザに関し、特に、サンバイザの本体部にミラー部材を配設する構造の技術分野に属する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来より、車両用のミラー付サンバイザとして、例えば、特開２００２−１２０２９号公報に開示されるように、ミラー部材をサンバイザの本体部がウインドウ内面に沿うように遮光状態とされたときに車室内を向く側に配設するとともに、前記ミラー部材を使用しないときにミラーカバーで覆うようにしたものが知られている。このサンバイザの本体部は、ミラー部材を保持する比較的大型な基材と、該基材の外周側を囲むように枠状に形成された外周部材とからなる。外周部材には基材のミラー配設側の面の外周部を覆うように外枠部が設けられており、該外枠部と基材のミラー配設側の面とは、両者の間にミラーカバーの縁部が支持されるように離れている。これにより、ミラーカバーは基材のミラー配設側の面に沿ってその車幅方向一側から他側にスライドしてミラー部材の表面を露出または覆うようになる。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、前記従来例のサンバイザでは、本体部がミラー部材を保持する基材と、これと別体に成形された外周部材との複数の部材からなるため、部品点数が多くなるとともに組み立て工数が増加して製造コストの増大を招く。また、外周部材の外枠部と基材との間にミラーカバーを配置して、該ミラーカバーを基材のミラー配設側の面に沿ってスライドさせるようにしているので、例えば、ミラーカバーを車幅方向一側にスライドしてミラー部材を覆っているときには、基材のミラー配設側の面における車幅方向他側が外枠部よりも大きく窪んで見え、サンバイザを遮光状態としたときの車室側からの見栄えが非常に悪い。
【０００４】
本発明は斯かる諸点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、車両用のサンバイザにミラー部材及びミラーカバーを設ける場合に、該ミラー部材及びミラーカバーの配設構造に工夫を凝らし、部品点数及び組み立て工数を削減して製造コストを抑えながら見栄えの良好なサンバイザを得ることにある。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記目的を達成するために、本発明では、ミラー部材を支持する枠体をサンバイザ本体部に形成し、ミラーカバーをその枠体内でスライドするように配設したことを特徴とする。
【０００６】
具体的には、請求項１の発明では、板状サンバイザ本体部が、車室の天井面に沿うように位置する格納状態と、車両のウインドウの内面に沿うように位置する遮光状態とに切り替え可能に設けられ、前記本体部は、厚み方向について前記遮光状態において車室側になる第１部材とその反対側の第２部材とに分割され、該第１部材及び第２部材を重合して内部に中空部が形成された車両用ミラー付サンバイザを対象とする。そして、前記第１部材には前記第２部材に設けられたミラー部材に略対応する矩形状の開口部を設け、前記第２部材には前記第１部材の開口部に向かって延びる立壁部によって一体形成された矩形状の枠体を立設し、前記ミラー部材を前記枠体内に位置するように該枠体により支持し、板状のミラーカバーを、前記ミラー部材の表面側においてその表面を露出させる開状態と表面を覆う閉状態との間で第１部材に沿ってスライドするように前記枠体内に配設し、前記第２部材の中空部側の面には、ミラーカバーを開状態にする際に、該ミラーカバーの第２部材側が摺接するように中空部内へ突出してなるカバー支持部を設ける構成とする。
【０００７】
この構成によれば、ミラー部材は第２部材に一体形成された立壁部からなる枠体に支持されるので、ミラー部材を保持するための部材が別途必要なく、その分だけサンバイザの部品点数及び組み立て工数を削減できる。また、ミラーカバーを開状態とするときには、ミラーカバーは第２部材のカバー支持部に摺接してスライドするので、ミラーカバーを第１部材に対して近接した位置に安定して導くことができ、さらに、第１部材の開口部はミラー部材の形状に略対応した比較的小さいものとされており、遮光状態にあるサンバイザの車室側からの見栄えが良好になる。
【０００８】
請求項２の発明では、請求項１の発明において、第２部材の枠体の先端部は第１部材の開口部に嵌入するように形成されたベゼル部である構成とする。
【０００９】
この構成によれば、第１部材の開口部の内周面がベゼル部により覆われるので、該開口部の形成に際してその内周面に生じた加工跡を処理することなく、見栄えを良好にでき、これによりサンバイザの製造工数を削減できる。
【００１０】
請求項３の発明では、請求項１または２の発明において、ミラーカバーには前記開口部側に向けて突出する開閉用の操作部を一体形成し、第１部材または第２部材には、ミラーカバーの全開状態において、前記操作部と第１部材の開口部周縁との間に指を挿入可能な隙間が形成されるように前記ミラーカバーと当接する位置決め部を中空部へ向けて突出して形成する構成とする。
【００１１】
この構成によれば、操作部が開口部側に向けて突出しているのでミラーカバーを容易に開閉できる。そして、ミラーカバーを開くとミラーカバーが位置決め部に当接して全開位置で保持され、そのときに、操作部と開口部周縁との間に指を挿入可能な隙間が形成されているので、操作部を指で閉じ方向に押すことによりミラーカバーを容易に閉じることができる。
【００１２】
請求項４の発明では、請求項３の発明において、位置決め部をカバー支持部に一体形成する構成とする。
【００１３】
この構成によれば、位置決め部をカバー支持部の成形時に該カバー支持部に一体に成形できるため、カバー支持部と別体に成形した場合に比べて成形型が複雑化せず容易に成形することができる。
【００１４】
請求項５の発明では、請求項３の発明において、位置決め部をミラーカバーの閉方向端部と当接するように第１部材に一体形成する構成とする。
【００１５】
この構成によれば、位置決め部の突出長さを短くできるため、第１部材の表面において位置決め部に対応する部分にヒケが生成するのを阻止することができる。
【００１６】
請求項６の発明では、請求項１〜５のいずれか１つの発明において、ミラーカバーは、第１部材の開口部を形成する際に切り取った切取片よりなる構成とする。
【００１７】
この構成によれば、第１部材を成形した後、該第１部材に開口部を形成する際の切取片がミラーカバーとなるので、ミラーカバーを別途成形する必要がなく、成形型費が安価となり、その結果、サンバイザの製造コストをより低減できる。
【００１８】
また、第１部材の表面に表皮材を該第１部材と一体成形する場合、前記開口部を成形と同時に形成するようにすると、表皮材の表面側に溶融樹脂が流れないようにするために成形型にシール構造を設ける必要があり、成形型がさらに高価となるが、この発明ではそのようなことがない。
【００１９】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。
【００２０】
図１及び図２は、本発明の実施形態に係るサンバイザＳを示す。このサンバイザＳは、樹脂製のサンバイザ本体部１と、該サンバイザ本体部１に横軸部３ａが挿通された略Ｌ字状の支軸３とを備えてなる。サンバイザ本体部１は車幅方向に長い略矩形板状に形成されており、一方、支軸３には、前記横軸部３ａに連なる縦軸部３ｂの基端部に取付ブラケット（図示せず）が設けられ、該取付ブラケットにより前記横軸部３ａが水平方向に回動可能となるように支軸３が車室の天井面５に取り付けられている。そして、サンバイザＳは、図２に示すように、例えば助手席の上方に配置されて、通常は本体部１が車室の天井面５に沿うように位置する格納状態とされている一方、この格納状態から乗員が前記本体部１を掴んで支軸３の横軸部３ａの回りに回動させることで、同図に仮想線で示すように、サンバイザ本体部１がフロントウインドウの内面に沿うように位置する遮光状態に切り替えられる。また、図１に遮光状態にあるサンバイザ本体部１を示すように、該サンバイザ本体部１には矩形のミラー部材１１と、該ミラー部材１１を使用しないときに覆っておくための矩形のミラーカバー９とが設けられている。尚、遮光状態にあるサンバイザＳは支軸３側が上側となっており、以下の説明において上側とはサンバイザ本体部１の支軸３側をいい、下側とはその反対側をいうものとする。また、車幅方向左側及び右側をそれぞれ単に左側及び右側という。
【００２１】
前記サンバイザ本体部１は、図３に示すように、厚み方向について略半割りにされた２つの部材１３，１５からなり、遮光状態において車室内側になる方が第１部材１３とされ、また、反対側が第２部材１５とされており、第１及び第２部材１３，１５は溶融樹脂が射出成形され、その下端部同士が薄肉ヒンジ１７により一体に連結されている。第１部材１３は、平面部１３ａと該平面部１３ａの外周縁に一体に立設された側壁部１３ｂとで構成され、前記第２部材１５も同様に、平面部１５ａと側壁部１５ｂとで構成され、これら第１及び第２部材１３，１５は共に深さの浅い皿状に形成されている。第１及び第２部材１３，１５の側壁部１３ｂ，１５ｂの先端には、図４に示すように、係合爪１３ｃ，１５ｃがそれぞれ形成され、第１及び第２部材１３，１５は、前記薄肉ヒンジ１７を中心に折り曲げられて係合爪１３ｃ，１５ｃを互いに係合させることにより重合されて扁平板状に組合わされ、内部に中空部２１が形成されている。
【００２２】
尚、図３における符号２３は、車室の天井面５に配設されたブラケット２５（図２にのみ示す）に嵌合されて、支軸３とともにサンバイザＳのサンバイザ本体部１を回動可能に支持する支承バーで、第１部材１３に一体形成されている。
【００２３】
前記第２部材１５の平面部１５ａの略中央には、前記ミラー部材１１をその長手方向が車幅方向となるように支持する矩形の枠体２７が一体に成形される一方、前記第１部材１３の平面部１３ａの略中央には、前記ミラー部材１１に略対応した車幅方向に長い矩形の開口部２９が形成されている。前記枠体２７は、第２部材１５の平面部１５ａの内面において第１部材１３の開口部２９の左縁、右縁、上縁及び下縁に対向する部分からその開口部２９の周縁に向かってそれぞれ略垂直に延びる左側立壁部３１，右側立壁部３３，上側立壁部３５及び下側立壁部３７からなる。
【００２４】
図５に示すように、前記枠体２７の第１部材１３側である先端部は段差状に形成され、その段部２９ａは開口部２９周縁の中空部２１側の面に当接している。さらに、この枠体２７の先端部には、開口部２９に嵌入するように前記段部２９ａよりも外形が小さい矩形枠状に形成されたベゼル部４１が突出して一体成形されている。すなわち、前記先端部は、段部２９ａとベゼル部４１とにより段差状に形成されている。ベゼル部４１の外形状は開口部２９の形状と略一致していて、ベゼル部４１を開口部２９に嵌入するとそのベゼル部４１の外周により開口部２９の内周が覆われるようになっており、また、このベゼル部４１は開口部２９に嵌入された状態で、その先端面が第１部材１３の平面部１３ａの外面（表面）と略同一面に位置するように形成されている。
【００２５】
前記ミラー部材１１の上下方向の寸法は、図６に示すように、前記第１部材１３の開口部２９の上下方向の寸法と略同じとされる一方、車幅方向の寸法は、図５に示すように、開口部２９の車幅方向の寸法よりも短く設定されている。このミラー部材１１は枠体２７の内方においてサンバイザ本体部１の厚み方向の略中央部でかつ左側に偏位しており、該枠体２７の左側立壁部３１及び上下両立壁部３５，３７に支持されている。前記枠体２７の左側立壁部３１及び上下両立壁部３５，３７には、その高さ方向（サンバイザ本体部１の厚み方向）の略中央部から枠体２７の内方へ突出する第１突条部４３と、該第１突条部４３から立壁部３１，３５の先端側へミラー部材１１の厚み寸法だけ離間した部位から同様に突出する第２突条部４５とが形成されている。これら立壁部３１，３５の第１及び第２突条部４３，４５によりミラー部材１１の左縁部と上下両縁部とが挟持されるようになっている。
【００２６】
前記ミラー部材１１と第１部材１３の平面部１３ａとの間には、前記ミラーカバー９が配設されている。このミラーカバー９は、第１部材１３の開口部２９を形成する際に切り取られた切取片からなり、従って、第１部材１３の開口部２９と略同じ形状を有する板状のものである。すなわち、第１部材１３と第２部材１５とからなるサンバイザ本体部１を成形型から取り出した後、第１部材１３の開口部２９に対応する部分を切り取ることでミラーカバー９を得ることができる。
【００２７】
前記ミラーカバー９は、図５及び図６に示すように、その上下両縁部が第２突条部４５とベゼル部４１との間に位置するように配設されており、第２突条部４５とベゼル部４１との間隔はミラーカバー９がスライドできるように該ミラーカバー９の厚みよりも若干広めに設定されている。そして、枠体２７の車体右側立壁部３３にはその上端近傍から下端近傍に亘って貫通孔３３ａが形成されており、ミラーカバー９はこの貫通孔３３ａを挿通することで車幅方向にスライドする。
【００２８】
前記ミラーカバー９の左側端部近傍には、開閉操作用の操作部４９が設けられている。該操作部４９は、上下に長い長円形断面を有するように開口部２９側へ突出してなる。この操作部４９は、ミラーカバー９がミラー部材１１の表面全体を覆う全閉位置にあるときに、ベゼル部４１の左縁部から右側へ所定距離離れており、このことで開操作時に操作部４９とベゼル部４１の左縁部との間に指を挿入可能な隙間５０が形成されるようになっている。尚、ミラーカバー９の全閉位置は、該ミラーカバー９の左縁部が枠体２７の左側立壁部３１に当接することで決定されるようになっている。
【００２９】
前記全閉位置にあるミラーカバー９を右側にスライドさせると、図５に仮想線で示すように、ミラーカバー９の右側が右側立壁部３３の貫通孔３３ａを通って枠体２７の外方へ移動し、ミラー部材９の表面の略全体を露出させる全開状態となる。この全開状態では、前記した全閉状態の場合と同様にミラーカバー９の操作部４９とベゼル部４１の右縁部との間に指を挿入可能な隙間５１が形成されるようになっている。すなわち、ミラーカバー９の閉方向の右側端部近傍には、ミラーカバー９の裏面から略垂直に中空部２１内へ向けて突出するストッパ部５３が形成されている。このストッパ部５３は、図１に示すように、ミラーカバー９の上下方向の略中央部に位置付けられており、サンバイザ本体部１の厚み方向から見て大略Ｉ字状に形成されている。一方、前記第２部材１５には、ミラーカバー９が前記全開位置となったときに前記ストッパ部５３と当接してミラーカバー９を全開位置で保持する位置決め部５５が設けられている。この位置決め部５５は、前記第２部材１５の内面から略垂直に中空部２１内へ突出する矩形板状に形成されており、この位置決め部５５の車幅方向の位置によりミラーカバー９の全開位置が設定される。そして、前記位置決め部５５は、ミラーカバー９が全開したとき、該ミラーカバー９の前記操作部４９と前記ベゼル部４１の右縁部との間に前記隙間５１が形成されるように第２部材１５に立設されている。
【００３０】
また、前記ミラーカバー９は開度が大きくなると、その大部分が枠体２７の外方（右方向）に移動するので、ミラーカバー９は枠体２７による支持が殆どなされなくなってがたつくようになる虞れがある。これに対し、この実施形態では、ミラーカバー９が全開位置となる前からミラーカバー９の右側を第２部材１５に設けた一対のリブ５９，５９により支持するようにしており、このリブ５９，５９が本発明のカバー支持部に対応している。該一対のリブ５９，５９は第２部材１５の内面から中空部２１の内方へ突出するように形成されていて、その右端部は前記位置決め部５５の基端側と一体に連なっている。そして、位置決め部５５の高さは、前記一対のリブ５９，５９の高さよりも高く形成されている。
【００３１】
前記リブ５９，５９の高さ方向の先端面に前記ストッパ部５３の先端面が摺接するようになっている。これにより、ミラーカバー９は第１部材１３の平面部１３ａの内面に近接した状態でスライドするようになり、がたつきが防止される。言い換えると、ミラーカバー９のストッパ部５３の高さとリブ５９，５９の高さとは、両者を互いに摺接させながらミラーカバー９を平面部１３ａに沿ってスライドさせることができるように設定されている。また、リブ５９，５９の車体左側端部は、左側に行くほど高さが低く形成されており、これによりミラーカバー９を全閉状態から開くときにストッパ部５３の先端面がスムーズにリブ５９，５９の高さ方向の先端面に導かれる。
【００３２】
前記のように構成されたサンバイザＳでは、遮光状態にあるときにミラー部材１１を使用する際、乗員はミラーカバー９の操作部４９とベゼル部４１との隙間５０に指を挿入して操作部４９を開き方向に押すことにより、容易にミラーカバー９を開方向にスライドさせてミラー部材１１の表面を露出させることができる。この際、ミラーカバー９の開度が所定の開度となると、まず、該ミラーカバー９のストッパ部５３が第２部材１５のリブ５９，５９の先端面上を摺動し、これによりミラーカバー９が第１部材１３に近接した状態で安定的に導かれる。その後、ミラー部材１１の表面略全体が露出するまで、即ちミラーカバー１１の操作部４９とベゼル部４１の右端部との間に隙間５１が形成されるまでスライドすると、ミラーカバー９のストッパ部５３と第２部材１５の位置決め部５５とが当接してミラーカバー９が保持される。また、リブ５９，５９は位置決め部５５に連なって一体形成されているので、ミラーカバー９が全開位置にあるときにもリブ５９，５９とストッパ部５３とは接しており、これによりミラーカバー９のがたつきが防止される。
【００３３】
一方、前記ミラーカバー９を閉じるときには、前記操作部４９とベゼル部４１との隙間５１に指を挿入して操作部４９を閉じ方向に押すことにより、容易にミラーカバー９を閉方向にスライドさせて閉じることができる。さらに、開口部２９がミラー部材１１に略対応する比較的小さいものであることと、平面部１３ａに近接しているミラーカバー９により開口部２９が閉じられていることとにより、遮光状態にあるサンバイザの車室側からの見栄えが良好となる。
【００３４】
また、第１及び第２部材１３，１５を重合させた際には、第１部材１３の平面部１３ａと第２部材１５の枠体２７とが結合するようになっている。第１部材１３の開口部２９周縁近傍の車幅方向左側及び右側にはそれぞれ中空部２１内へ突出する左側係合爪６１，６１及び右側係合爪６３，６３が設けられている。一方、前記枠体２７の上側立壁部３５と下側立壁部３７とには、前記左側係合爪６１，６１が係合する孔部３５ａ，３７ａがそれぞれ形成されており、また、右側立壁部３３の上下両端部近傍には、前記右側爪部６３，６３の係合する孔部３３ｂ，３３ｂがそれぞれ形成されている。右側立壁部３３の孔部３３ｂ，３３ｂは、貫通孔３３ａの上端及び下端にそれぞれ連なって形成されている。
【００３５】
次に、前記サンバイザＳの製造手順について説明する。まず、前記第１部材１３及び第２部材１５を薄肉ヒンジ１７により連結した状態で一体に成形可能な射出成形型（図示せず）を用意する。この成形型は、第１部材１３の開口部２９に対応する部分に上述の如き操作部４９を有するミラーカバー９をその第１部材１３と一体に成形可能に構成されている。この成形型により成形した第１部材１３及び第２部材１５を脱型した後、枠体２７のベゼル部４１外縁に対応する大きさに第１部材１３から切り取って開口部２９を形成するとともに、切り取った切取片をミラーカバー９として使用する。これにより、ミラーカバー９の成形に際しては、別途成形型を用意する必要がないので、成形型費が安価となり、しかも、開口部２９を形成する過程で同時にミラーカバー９を得ることができるので、サンバイザＳの製造コストを大幅に低減できる。
【００３６】
また、前記第１部材１３及び第２部材１５の成形の際には、位置決め部５５をリブ５９，５９に一体成形するようにしているので、別々に成形するようにした場合に比べて成形型が複雑化せず、位置決め部５５及びリブ５９，５９を容易に成形することができる。
【００３７】
次いで、前記ミラー部材１１を第２部材１５の右側立壁部３３の貫通孔３３ａから枠体２７内の第１突条部４３及び第２突条部４５の間に挿入して両突条部４３，４５により挟持させる。また、同様にミラーカバー９を右側立壁部３３の貫通孔３３ａから第２突条部４５及びベゼル部４１の間に挿入する。その後、薄肉ヒンジ１７を中心にして第１及び第２部材１３，１５を折り曲げてベゼル部４１を開口部２９に嵌入するとともに、第１部材１３の側壁部１３ｂの係合爪１３ｃと第２部材１５の側壁部１５ｂの係合爪１５ｃとを係合させ、また、第１部材１３の左側係合爪６１，６１及び右側係合爪６３，６３をそれぞれ第２部材１５のの孔部３５ａ，３７ａ，３３ａ，３３ａに係合させる。これにより、第１部材１３の開口部２９周辺の平面部１３ａが、第２部材１５の枠体２７から浮き上がることなく第２部材１５の枠体２７に強固定結合されるため、開口部２９周辺の見栄えがよい。また、ベゼル部４１が開口部２９に嵌入することによって、前記開口部２９形成の際、即ちミラーカバー９となる部分を第１部材１３から切り取る際の加工跡が覆われるので、加工跡のバリ等の除去作業をすることなく開口部２９周縁の見栄えを良好にできる。
【００３８】
以上説明したように、この実施形態に係るサンバイザＳによると、サンバイザ本体部１を厚み方向について略半割りにされた第１及び第２部材１３，１５からなるものとし、第１部材１３にミラー部材１１に対応する開口部２９を形成し、第２部材１５に開口部２９に向かって延びる立壁部３１，３３，３５，３７からなる枠体２７を一体成形して、該枠体２７にミラー部材１１及びミラーカバー９を支持させるようにしたので、それら各部材１１，９を支持するための部材を別途用意する必要はなく、その分だけ部品点数及び組み立て工数の削減が可能となり製造コストを低減できる。
【００３９】
また、ミラーカバー９を第１部材１３の平面部１３ａとミラー部材１１との間でサンバイザ本体部１の長手方向にスライド可能に配設し、ミラーカバー９を開状態とするときに該ミラーカバー９を平面部１３ａに沿わせるように導くリブ５９，５９を第２部材１５に一体に設けたので、ミラーカバー９を平面部１３ａに近接した位置に安定して導くことができ、さらに、第１部材１３の開口部２９をミラー部材１１の形状に対応した比較的小さいものとしているので、遮光状態のサンバイザＳの車室側からの見栄えを良好にできる。
【００４０】
尚、この実施形態では、第１及び第２部材１３，１５を薄肉ヒンジ１７により連結して一体成形するようにしているが、これに限らず、両者１３，１５を別々に成形してもよい。
【００４１】
また、この実施形態では、ミラーカバー９を全開位置で保持する位置決め部５５を第２部材１５に一体成形するようにしているが、位置決め部５５はこれに限らず、第１部材１３に一体成形するようにしてもよい。この場合では、ミラーカバー９が前記全開位置までスライドしたときに該ミラーカバー９の右縁部と当接するように平面部１３ａの内面から突出する突出部を設ける。こうすることで、ミラーカバー９は中空部２１において第１部材１３側に偏位しているので、前記突出部の突出長さを比較的短くすることができ、よって、位置決め部（突出部）を成形するに際して、前記位置決め部に対応した第１部材１３の平面部１３ａの外面にヒケが生成されるのを阻止することができる。
【００４２】
また、サンバイザＳの表面、即ち第１及び第２部材１３．１５の表面に、該第１及び第２部材１３，１５の成形時に布等の表皮材を一体成形するようにしてもよい。この場合、ミラーカバー９にもその表面に表皮材が付着される。これにより、手ざわりが良く、見栄えの良好なサンバイザＳを得ることができる。さらに、第１部材１３と第２部材１５との結合は、その側壁部１３ｂ，１５ｂに形成した係合爪１３ｃ，１５ｃに限定されることなく、その平面部１３ａ，１５ａに、中空部２１内へ突出させて形成した係合部により係合させるようにしてもよい。
【００４３】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、請求項１の発明に係る車両用ミラー付サンバイザによると、板状サンバイザ本体部を遮光状態において車室側になる第１部材とその反対側の第２部材に分割し、該第１部材及び第２部材を重合して内部に中空部が形成されたものであって、第１部材には前記第２部材に設けられたミラー部材に略対応する矩形状の開口部を設け、前記第２部材には前記第１部材の開口部に向かって延びる立壁部によって一体形成された矩形状の枠体を立設し、前記ミラー部材を枠体により支持したので、ミラー部材を保持するための部材を別途設定する必要はなく、その分だけサンバイザの部品点数及び組み立て工数を削減して製造コストを低減できる。また、板状のミラーカバーを、前記ミラー部材の表面側においてその表面を露出させる開状態と表面を覆う閉状態との間で第１部材に沿ってスライドするように前記枠体内に配設し、第２部材の中空部側の面には、ミラーカバーを開状態にする際に、該ミラーカバーの第２部材側が摺接するように中空部内へ突出してなるカバー支持部を設けたので、ミラーカバーを第１部材に対して近接した位置に安定して導くことができるとともに、遮光状態にあるサンバイザの車室側からの見栄えを良好にできる。
【００４４】
請求項２記載の発明によると、第１部材の開口部形成の際に生じた加工跡を処理することなく、ベゼル部により覆って見栄えを良好することができるので、サンバイザの製造工数を削減できる。
【００４５】
請求項３記載の発明によると、ミラーカバーを操作部により容易に開閉でき、全開位置にあるミラーカバーを容易に閉じることができる。
【００４６】
請求項４の発明によると、位置決め部をカバー支持用突起と容易に一体成形できる。
【００４７】

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a sun visor mounted on a front ceiling of a passenger compartment to avoid direct light to a driver's seat and a passenger seat of a vehicle, and particularly to a technical field of a structure in which a mirror member is provided on a main body of the sun visor. .
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a sun visor with a mirror for a vehicle, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-12029, when a mirror member is placed in a light-shielding state so that the main body of the sun visor is along the inner surface of a window, And a mirror cover is provided when the mirror member is not used. The main body of the sun visor includes a relatively large base material for holding the mirror member and an outer peripheral member formed in a frame shape so as to surround the outer peripheral side of the base material. An outer frame portion is provided on the outer peripheral member so as to cover an outer peripheral portion of a surface of the base material on the side where the mirror is provided, and the outer frame portion and the surface of the base material where the mirror is provided are provided between the two. The edges of the mirror cover are spaced apart to be supported. As a result, the mirror cover slides from one side in the vehicle width direction to the other side along the surface of the substrate on which the mirror is provided, so as to expose or cover the surface of the mirror member.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional sun visor, since the main body is composed of a plurality of members including a base member holding the mirror member and an outer peripheral member formed separately from the base member, the number of parts increases and the number of assembly steps increases. As a result, the manufacturing cost is increased. Further, a mirror cover is arranged between the outer frame portion of the outer peripheral member and the base material, and the mirror cover is slid along the surface of the base material on the side where the mirror is provided. When the vehicle is slid to one side in the vehicle width direction to cover the mirror member, the other side in the vehicle width direction on the surface of the base material on the side where the mirror is provided appears to be more depressed than the outer frame portion, and the sun visor is in a light-shielding state. Looks very bad from the passenger compartment side.
[0004]
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a device for arranging a mirror member and a mirror cover in a sun visor for a vehicle. An object of the present invention is to obtain a sun visor with good appearance while reducing the number of parts and the number of assembling steps to reduce manufacturing costs.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized in that a frame supporting a mirror member is formed in a sun visor main body, and a mirror cover is disposed so as to slide in the frame.
[0006]
Specifically, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the plate-shaped sun visor body is switched between a storage state positioned along the ceiling surface of the vehicle compartment and a light-shielded state positioned along the inner surface of the vehicle window. The main body is divided into a first member which is located on the vehicle cabin side in the light-shielding state in the thickness direction and a second member on the opposite side, and the first member and the second member are overlapped. It is intended for a sun visor with a mirror for a vehicle in which a hollow portion is formed. The first member is provided with a rectangular opening substantially corresponding to the mirror member provided on the second member, and the second member is provided with an upright wall extending toward the opening of the first member. An integrally formed rectangular frame is erected, the mirror member is supported by the frame so as to be positioned in the frame, and a plate-shaped mirror cover is formed on the surface side of the mirror member. A mirror cover is provided on the hollow member side surface of the second member so as to slide along the first member between an open state for exposing and a closed state for covering the surface. In this case, the mirror support is provided with a cover supporting portion projecting into the hollow portion so that the second member side of the mirror cover comes into sliding contact.
[0007]
According to this configuration, since the mirror member is supported by the frame composed of the upright wall integrally formed with the second member, a separate member for holding the mirror member is not required, and the number of parts of the sun visor and the number of parts are reduced accordingly. Assembly man-hours can be reduced. Further, when the mirror cover is opened, the mirror cover slides in contact with the cover supporting portion of the second member, so that the mirror cover can be stably guided to a position close to the first member, Further, the opening of the first member is relatively small, substantially corresponding to the shape of the mirror member, so that the sun visor in the light-shielded state has a good appearance from the passenger compartment side.
[0008]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the distal end of the frame of the second member is a bezel formed to fit into the opening of the first member.
[0009]
According to this configuration, since the inner peripheral surface of the opening of the first member is covered with the bezel, the appearance can be improved without processing the processing traces generated on the inner peripheral surface when forming the opening. This can reduce the number of man-hours for manufacturing the sun visor.
[0010]
According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect of the present invention, an opening / closing operation unit protruding toward the opening is integrally formed on the mirror cover, and the first member or the second member is provided with a mirror. In a fully opened state of the cover, a positioning portion that comes into contact with the mirror cover is formed so as to protrude toward the hollow portion so that a gap into which a finger can be inserted is formed between the operation portion and the periphery of the opening of the first member. Configuration.
[0011]
According to this configuration, the mirror cover can be easily opened and closed because the operation unit protrudes toward the opening. When the mirror cover is opened, the mirror cover comes into contact with the positioning portion and is held at the fully open position. At this time, a gap is formed between the operation portion and the periphery of the opening portion so that a finger can be inserted. By pressing the part in the closing direction with a finger, the mirror cover can be easily closed.
[0012]
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the third aspect, the positioning portion is formed integrally with the cover supporting portion.
[0013]
According to this configuration, since the positioning portion can be formed integrally with the cover support portion when the cover support portion is formed, the molding die is easily formed without complicating the molding die as compared with a case where the positioning portion is formed separately from the cover support portion. be able to.
[0014]
According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the third aspect of the invention, the positioning portion is formed integrally with the first member so as to abut on the closing direction end of the mirror cover.
[0015]
According to this configuration, since the protruding length of the positioning portion can be shortened, it is possible to prevent generation of sink marks on a portion corresponding to the positioning portion on the surface of the first member.
[0016]
According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to fifth aspects of the present invention, the mirror cover is configured by a cut piece cut when forming the opening of the first member.
[0017]
According to this configuration, after the first member is formed, the cutout when forming the opening in the first member becomes the mirror cover, so that there is no need to separately form the mirror cover, and the mold cost is low. As a result, the manufacturing cost of the sun visor can be further reduced.
[0018]
Further, when the skin material is integrally formed with the first member on the surface of the first member, if the opening is formed simultaneously with the molding, the molten resin is prevented from flowing on the surface side of the skin material. It is necessary to provide a sealing structure in the mold, which makes the mold more expensive, but this is not the case in the present invention.
[0019]

[0023]
A rectangular frame 27 for supporting the mirror member 11 so that its longitudinal direction is in the vehicle width direction is integrally formed at substantially the center of the plane portion 15a of the second member 15, while the first member is formed. At a substantially center of the flat portion 13a of the thirteen, a rectangular opening 29 long in the vehicle width direction substantially corresponding to the mirror member 11 is formed. The frame 27 extends from a portion facing the left edge, the right edge, the upper edge, and the lower edge of the opening 29 of the first member 13 on the inner surface of the plane portion 15 a of the second member 15 toward the periphery of the opening 29. And a left standing wall portion 31, a right standing wall portion 33, an upper standing wall portion 35, and a lower standing wall portion 37 which extend substantially vertically.
[0024]
As shown in FIG. 5, the front end of the frame body 27 on the first member 13 side is formed in a stepped shape, and the stepped portion 29 a is in contact with a surface of the periphery of the opening 29 on the side of the hollow portion 21. Further, a bezel portion 41 formed in a rectangular frame shape whose outer shape is smaller than that of the step portion 29a is formed integrally with the distal end portion of the frame 27 so as to fit into the opening 29. That is, the front end is formed in a step shape by the step 29a and the bezel 41. The outer shape of the bezel portion 41 substantially matches the shape of the opening portion 29. When the bezel portion 41 is fitted into the opening portion 29, the outer periphery of the bezel portion 41 covers the inner periphery of the opening portion 29. Further, the bezel portion 41 is formed so as to be fitted in the opening 29 so that the distal end surface thereof is located substantially flush with the outer surface (surface) of the flat portion 13 a of the first member 13.
[0025]
The vertical dimension of the mirror member 11 is substantially the same as the vertical dimension of the opening 29 of the first member 13 as shown in FIG. 6, while the vehicle width direction is shown in FIG. As shown, the opening 29 is set to be shorter than the dimension in the vehicle width direction. The mirror member 11 is displaced to the left in the frame 27 at substantially the center in the thickness direction of the sun visor main body 1 and to the left, and the left standing wall 31 and the upper and lower supporting walls 35, 37 of the frame 27. It is supported by. The left vertical wall 31 and the upper and lower dual wall portions 35 and 37 of the frame 27 have first protrusions projecting inward from the substantially central portion in the height direction (the thickness direction of the sun visor body 1). A ridge portion 43 and a second ridge portion 45 similarly projecting from a portion separated from the first ridge portion 43 by the thickness dimension of the mirror member 11 toward the distal end side of the standing wall portions 31 and 35 are formed. The left edge and the upper and lower edges of the mirror member 11 are sandwiched between the first and second ridges 43 and 45 of the upright wall portions 31 and 35.
[0026]
The mirror cover 9 is disposed between the mirror member 11 and the flat portion 13a of the first member 13. The mirror cover 9 is formed of a cut piece that is cut when forming the opening 29 of the first member 13, and thus has a plate shape having substantially the same shape as the opening 29 of the first member 13. That is, the mirror cover 9 can be obtained by removing the portion corresponding to the opening 29 of the first member 13 after removing the sun visor main body 1 including the first member 13 and the second member 15 from the molding die. .
[0027]
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the mirror cover 9 is disposed such that both upper and lower edges are located between the second ridge 45 and the bezel 41, and the second ridge is provided. The interval between the portion 45 and the bezel portion 41 is set slightly larger than the thickness of the mirror cover 9 so that the mirror cover 9 can slide. A through hole 33a is formed in the right side wall 33 of the vehicle body of the frame 27 from the vicinity of the upper end to the vicinity of the lower end thereof, and the mirror cover 9 slides in the vehicle width direction by passing through the through hole 33a. .
[0028]
An operation unit 49 for opening and closing operation is provided near the left end of the mirror cover 9. The operating portion 49 projects toward the opening 29 so as to have a vertically long oval cross section. When the mirror cover 9 is in the fully closed position covering the entire surface of the mirror member 11, the operation unit 49 is separated from the left edge of the bezel 41 by a predetermined distance to the right side. A gap 50 into which a finger can be inserted is formed between 49 and the left edge of the bezel portion 41. The fully closed position of the mirror cover 9 is determined when the left edge of the mirror cover 9 contacts the left standing wall 31 of the frame 27.
[0029]
When the mirror cover 9 at the fully closed position is slid to the right, the right side of the mirror cover 9 passes through the through hole 33a of the right standing wall portion 33 to the outside of the frame 27, as indicated by a virtual line in FIG. The mirror member 9 is moved to a fully open state that exposes substantially the entire surface of the mirror member 9. In this fully opened state, a gap 51 into which a finger can be inserted is formed between the operation part 49 of the mirror cover 9 and the right edge of the bezel part 41 as in the case of the fully closed state described above. . That is, near the right end in the closing direction of the mirror cover 9, the stopper portion 53 projecting substantially perpendicularly from the back surface of the mirror cover 9 into the hollow portion 21 is formed. As shown in FIG. 1, the stopper portion 53 is positioned substantially at the center in the vertical direction of the mirror cover 9, and is formed substantially in an I shape when viewed from the thickness direction of the sun visor body 1. On the other hand, the second member 15 is provided with a positioning portion 55 that comes into contact with the stopper portion 53 when the mirror cover 9 is at the fully opened position and holds the mirror cover 9 at the fully opened position. The positioning portion 55 is formed in a rectangular plate shape protruding from the inner surface of the second member 15 substantially perpendicularly into the hollow portion 21, and the position of the positioning portion 55 in the vehicle width direction allows the mirror cover 9 to be fully opened. Is set. The positioning member 55 is configured such that the gap 51 is formed between the operation part 49 of the mirror cover 9 and the right edge of the bezel part 41 when the mirror cover 9 is fully opened. 15 stands.
[0030]
When the degree of opening of the mirror cover 9 increases, most of the mirror cover 9 moves outward (to the right) of the frame 27, so that the mirror cover 9 is hardly supported by the frame 27 and becomes loose. There is a fear. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the right side of the mirror cover 9 is supported by the pair of ribs 59 provided on the second member 15 before the mirror cover 9 reaches the fully open position. Reference numeral 59 corresponds to the cover support of the present invention. The pair of ribs 59 are formed so as to project from the inner surface of the second member 15 to the inside of the hollow portion 21, and the right ends thereof are integrally connected to the base end side of the positioning portion 55. The height of the positioning portion 55 is formed higher than the height of the pair of ribs 59.
[0031]
The distal end surfaces of the stopper portions 53 are in sliding contact with the distal end surfaces of the ribs 59, 59 in the height direction. As a result, the mirror cover 9 slides in a state of being close to the inner surface of the flat portion 13a of the first member 13, and rattling is prevented. In other words, the height of the stopper portion 53 of the mirror cover 9 and the height of the ribs 59, 59 are set so that the mirror cover 9 can be slid along the plane portion 13a while sliding the two. . Further, the left ends of the ribs 59, 59 are formed to be lower toward the left side, so that when the mirror cover 9 is opened from the fully closed state, the distal end surface of the stopper portion 53 is smoothly moved to the rib 59. , 59 in the height direction.
[0032]
In the sun visor S configured as described above, when using the mirror member 11 in the light blocking state, the occupant inserts his / her finger into the gap 50 between the operation part 49 of the mirror cover 9 and the bezel part 41 to operate the mirror. By pressing 49 in the opening direction, the mirror cover 9 can be easily slid in the opening direction to expose the surface of the mirror member 11. At this time, when the opening degree of the mirror cover 9 becomes a predetermined opening degree, first, the stopper portion 53 of the mirror cover 9 slides on the distal end surfaces of the ribs 59, 59 of the second member 15, whereby the mirror cover 9 is moved. 9 is stably guided near the first member 13. Thereafter, when the slider 51 is slid until almost the entire surface of the mirror member 11 is exposed, that is, until a gap 51 is formed between the operation portion 49 of the mirror cover 11 and the right end of the bezel portion 41, the stopper portion 53 of the mirror cover 9 is moved. And the positioning portion 55 of the second member 15 abut against the mirror cover 9. Further, since the ribs 59, 59 are formed integrally with the positioning portion 55, the ribs 59, 59 and the stopper portion 53 are in contact even when the mirror cover 9 is at the fully open position, and thereby the mirror cover 9 Rattle is prevented.
[0033]
On the other hand, when the mirror cover 9 is closed, a finger is inserted into the gap 51 between the operation part 49 and the bezel part 41 and the operation part 49 is pushed in the closing direction, whereby the mirror cover 9 is easily slid in the closing direction. Can be closed. Further, since the opening 29 is relatively small corresponding to the mirror member 11 and the opening 29 is closed by the mirror cover 9 close to the flat portion 13a, the light shielding state is achieved. The appearance of the sun visor from the passenger compartment side is improved.
[0034]
Further, when the first and second members 13 and 15 are superimposed, the plane portion 13a of the first member 13 and the frame 27 of the second member 15 are joined. On the left and right sides in the vehicle width direction near the periphery of the opening 29 of the first member 13, left engagement claws 61, 61 and right engagement claws 63, 63 projecting into the hollow portion 21 are provided, respectively. On the other hand, holes 35a and 37a with which the left engagement claws 61 and 61 are engaged are formed in the upper standing wall portion 35 and the lower standing wall portion 37 of the frame 27, respectively. Holes 33b, 33b with which the right claw portions 63, 63 are engaged are formed near the upper and lower ends of 33, respectively. The holes 33b, 33b of the right standing wall 33 are formed so as to be continuous with the upper end and the lower end of the through hole 33a, respectively.
[0035]
Next, a manufacturing procedure of the sun visor S will be described. First, an injection mold (not shown) that can be integrally molded with the first member 13 and the second member 15 connected by the thin hinge 17 is prepared. This molding die is configured so that the mirror cover 9 having the operation portion 49 as described above in a portion corresponding to the opening 29 of the first member 13 can be integrally formed with the first member 13. After removing the first member 13 and the second member 15 formed by the molding die, the opening 27 is formed by cutting the first member 13 to a size corresponding to the outer edge of the bezel portion 41 of the frame body 27, The cut piece is used as the mirror cover 9. Accordingly, when forming the mirror cover 9, there is no need to prepare a separate molding die, so that the molding die cost is low and the mirror cover 9 can be obtained at the same time when the opening 29 is formed. The manufacturing cost of the sun visor S can be significantly reduced.
[0036]
When the first member 13 and the second member 15 are formed, the positioning portion 55 is formed integrally with the ribs 59, 59, so that a molding die is formed in comparison with a case where the positioning member 55 is formed separately. However, the positioning portion 55 and the ribs 59 can be easily formed without complicating the structure.
[0037]
Next, the mirror member 11 is inserted from the through hole 33 a of the right standing wall portion 33 of the second member 15 into the space between the first ridge 43 and the second ridge 45 in the frame 27, and the two ridges 43 are inserted. , 45. Similarly, the mirror cover 9 is inserted from the through hole 33 a of the right standing wall portion 33 to between the second ridge portion 45 and the bezel portion 41. After that, the first and second members 13 and 15 are bent around the thin hinge 17 to fit the bezel portion 41 into the opening 29, and the engaging claw 13c of the side wall portion 13b of the first member 13 and the second member 15 and the engagement claws 15c of the side wall portion 15b, and the left engagement claws 61, 61 and the right engagement claws 63, 63 of the first member 13 are connected to the holes 35a, 37a, 33a, 33a. As a result, the flat portion 13a around the opening 29 of the first member 13 is firmly fixed to the frame 27 of the second member 15 without being lifted from the frame 27 of the second member 15, so that the periphery of the opening 29 is Looks good. Further, since the bezel portion 41 is fitted into the opening 29, the processing trace at the time of forming the opening 29, that is, at the time of cutting out the portion to be the mirror cover 9 from the first member 13, is covered. The appearance of the periphery of the opening 29 can be improved without performing the removal work such as the above.
[0038]
As described above, according to the sun visor S according to this embodiment, the sun visor main body 1 includes the first and second members 13 and 15 halved in the thickness direction, and the first member 13 has a mirror. An opening 29 corresponding to the member 11 is formed, and a frame 27 including standing walls 31, 33, 35, 37 extending toward the opening 29 is integrally formed on the second member 15, and a mirror is formed on the frame 27. Since the member 11 and the mirror cover 9 are supported, it is not necessary to separately prepare a member for supporting each of the members 11 and 9, and the number of parts and the number of assembling steps can be reduced by that much, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Can be reduced.
[0039]
Further, the mirror cover 9 is disposed so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction of the sun visor body 1 between the flat portion 13a of the first member 13 and the mirror member 11, and the mirror cover 9 is opened when the mirror cover 9 is opened. Since the ribs 59 and 59 for guiding the mirror 9 along the plane portion 13a are provided integrally with the second member 15, the mirror cover 9 can be stably guided to a position close to the plane portion 13a. Since the opening 29 of the one member 13 is made relatively small corresponding to the shape of the mirror member 11, the appearance of the sun visor S in a light-shielded state from the passenger compartment side can be improved.
[0040]
In this embodiment, the first and second members 13 and 15 are connected to each other by the thin hinge 17 and integrally formed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the two members 13 and 15 may be formed separately. .
[0041]
Further, in this embodiment, the positioning portion 55 for holding the mirror cover 9 at the fully open position is formed integrally with the second member 15. However, the positioning portion 55 is not limited to this, and is formed integrally with the first member 13. You may make it. In this case, a protruding portion that protrudes from the inner surface of the flat portion 13a is provided so as to come into contact with the right edge of the mirror cover 9 when the mirror cover 9 slides to the fully opened position. By doing so, since the mirror cover 9 is deflected toward the first member 13 in the hollow portion 21, the length of the protrusion of the protrusion can be relatively shortened, and therefore, the positioning portion (protrusion) When molding is performed, it is possible to prevent generation of sink marks on the outer surface of the flat portion 13a of the first member 13 corresponding to the positioning portion.
[0042]
Further, a skin material such as cloth may be integrally formed on the surface of the sun visor S, that is, the surface of the first and second members 13.15 when the first and second members 13, 15 are formed. In this case, a skin material is also attached to the surface of the mirror cover 9. This makes it possible to obtain the sun visor S that has a good feel and a good appearance. Further, the connection between the first member 13 and the second member 15 is not limited to the engagement claws 13c, 15c formed on the side walls 13b, 15b, but is connected to the flat portions 13a, 15a in the hollow portion 21. It may be made to engage with the engaging part formed by projecting to.
[0043]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the sun visor with a mirror for a vehicle according to the first aspect of the present invention, the plate-shaped sun visor main body is divided into a first member which becomes a vehicle compartment side in a light-shielded state and a second member opposite to the first member, The first member and the second member are overlapped to form a hollow portion therein, and the first member has a rectangular opening substantially corresponding to a mirror member provided in the second member. A rectangular frame integrally formed by an upright wall extending toward the opening of the first member is provided on the second member, and the mirror member is supported by the frame. It is not necessary to separately set a member for holding, and it is possible to reduce the number of parts and the number of assembling steps of the sun visor by that amount, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost. Further, a plate-shaped mirror cover is disposed in the frame so as to slide along the first member between an open state in which the surface is exposed on the front side of the mirror member and a closed state in which the surface is covered. When the mirror cover is opened, a cover supporting portion projecting into the hollow portion so that the second member side of the mirror cover slides when the mirror cover is opened is provided on the surface of the second member on the hollow portion side. The cover can be stably guided to a position close to the first member, and the appearance of the light-shielded sun visor from the passenger compartment side can be improved.
[0044]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the processing trace generated at the time of forming the opening of the first member can be covered with the bezel and the appearance can be improved without processing, the man-hour for manufacturing the sun visor can be reduced. .
[0045]
According to the third aspect of the invention, the mirror cover can be easily opened and closed by the operation unit, and the mirror cover at the fully open position can be easily closed.
[0046]
According to the invention of claim 4, the positioning portion can be easily formed integrally with the cover supporting projection.
[0047]
According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, since the positioning portion is integrally formed with the first member so as to contact the opening end of the mirror cover, the projection length of the positioning portion can be shortened. The generation of sink marks can be prevented.
[0048]
According to the invention as set forth in claim 6, since the mirror cover is made of the cut piece that is cut when forming the opening of the first member, it is not necessary to separately form the mirror cover, and the cost of the molding die is reduced. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of the sun visor can be further reduced.
