Abstract

The retractable visor has an edge stop (4) which engages with a corresponding stop (10) on the fixed flap (2) to prevent the mobile flap (5) from being completely removed. A flexible element (3) is fixed in the base of the frame which is thicker than the upper part (9) and this acts to brake and hold the mobile flap in any selected position. A cutout allows the mobile flap to be pulled downwards or towards the right hand side. In all positions the mobile flap is held between the flexible material and the fixed flap.

Description

PARE -SOLEIL ESCAMOTABLE A ORIENTATION VARIABLE
Nous connaissons dans l'art antérieur un brevet du même inventeur BREVET N)97. 14755 du 21/1111997 qui démontre la possibilité de placer sur un pare-soleil existant un écran mobile en tous sens, maintenu en place par des liens élastiques. Ce procédé est parfait pour s'adapter à des véhicules anciens, possédant déjà des pares-soleils normaux.RETRACTABLE SUN VISOR WITH VARIABLE ORIENTATION
We know in the prior art a patent from the same inventor PATENT N) 97. 14755 of 11/21/11997 which demonstrates the possibility of placing a movable screen in all directions on an existing sun visor, held in place by elastic ties. This process is perfect for adapting to old vehicles, which already have normal sun visors.

Le procédé selon l'invention est bien différent, en ce sens qu'il s'escamote dans une coque, sans aucun lien il est complètement télescopique.The method according to the invention is very different, in that it retracts into a shell, without any link it is completely telescopic.

Caractérisé en ce que la coque fig. 1,1,2 est rigide ou semi-rigide elle a ces deux côtés approximativement parallèle ils sont solidaires par la partie supérieur fig 1,9.Characterized in that the shell fig. 1,1,2 is rigid or semi-rigid it has these two sides approximately parallel they are integral by the upper part fig 1,9.

Au bas du côté extérieur, mais à l'intérieur de celle-ci il y a un arrêt fig.2,10 occupant tous le long du pare-soleil. Cet arrêt fig.2,10 jouxte la mousse fig.2,3 ou une partie élastique fig.2,3 qui retient et empêche de glisser le volet mobile fig.2,5 - Ce volet peut ce déplacer en tous sens selon les besoins, il reste impérativement à sa place lors des mouvements même saccadés du véhicule. L'épaisseur de la mousse est supérieure à celle de la partie fig.3,9 donc le volet mobile est pris tous le temps en serre entre la mousse fig.3,3 et les volets fixe fig.3,1,2. Des renforts pennettent de durcir les bords fig 1,1,2 afin de les serrer l'un contre l'autre davantage
Les deux parties fig.3,1 et fig3,2 sont échancrés fig.3,6 en 2 points dont l'emplacement varie en fonction de la forme du volet mobile afin de respecter un bon équilibre quant on manoeuvre celui-ci pour permettre de tirer vers le bas fig.3,6 ou sur le côté droit fig.4 ou le côté gauche fig.5, le volet protecteur supplémentaire. Ce volet possède une arête vive fig. 2,4 fig.3,4 servant d'arrêt à une descente intempes- tive il butte sur l'arête fixe placé sur le socle fig.1,10 ces arêtes sont placées tous le long des parties, soit fixe, soit mobiles, ainsi leur utilité est efficace qu'elle que soit la position du volet mobile fig;3,5
Au repos le volet fig.3,5 s'escamote dans la partie fig.3,1,2 et est invisible de l'extérieur. Le pare-soleil perfectionné se manipule comme le système classique, I'estbétique n'en soufrant pas du tout. L'extérieur du pare-soleil est identique à celui existant. At the bottom of the exterior side, but inside it there is a stop fig.2,10 occupying all along the sun visor. This stop fig.2,10 adjoins the foam fig.2,3 or an elastic part fig.2,3 which retains and prevents sliding the movable flap fig.2,5 - This flap can move in any direction as needed , it absolutely remains in its place during even jerky movements of the vehicle. The thickness of the foam is greater than that of the part fig.3,9 therefore the movable flap is taken all the time in the greenhouse between the foam fig.3,3 and the fixed flaps fig.3,1,2. Reinforcements allow hardening the edges fig 1,1,2 in order to tighten them one against the other more
The two parts fig.3,1 and fig3,2 are indented fig.3,6 in 2 points whose location varies according to the shape of the movable flap in order to respect a good balance when it is maneuvered to allow pull down fig.3,6 or on the right side fig.4 or the left side fig.5, the additional protective flap. This flap has a sharp edge fig. 2.4 fig. 3,4 serving as a stop for an inopportune descent it abuts on the fixed edge placed on the base fig.1,10 these edges are placed all along the parts, either fixed or mobile, thus their utility is effective whatever the position of the movable flap fig; 3,5
At rest the flap fig.3,5 retracts into the part fig.3,1,2 and is invisible from the outside. The perfected sun visor is handled like the classic system, the aesthetic doesn't suffer at all. The exterior of the sun visor is identical to the existing one.

Claims

CLAIMS 1 Sun visor device characterized: in that the latter is additional to the existing one but telescopic it comes inside at rest and is placed at any level according to the position of the sun, dazzling, in order to stop it the Rays. A stop is placed in fig. 2,4 corresponding to the other stop in fig; 2, 10, preventing the movable flap from coming out. A flexible element is placed at the bottom of the carcass, fixed on it. U is thicker than the part fig. 3,9, it acts as a brake fig; 3,3 maintaining the flap fig; 3,5 in any position. A notch in fig. 1,6 allows the movable flap to be pulled down or to the right side. The movable flap fig.2,5 is in any position taken in the greenhouse between the foam fig.2,3 and the fixed flap fig.2, 1,2 2 Device according to claim nl, cairise: in that for safety, all flexible or semi-rigid materials can be used.

3 Device according to claim n l, characterized:

in that reinforcements can give elasticity to the 2 sides fig. 1, 1,2 bringing them closer to each other 4 Device according to claim 1, cauterized:
