Abstract

PURPOSE:To arrange a vanity mirror longitudinally, locate ahead the face of a user, and thereby improve convenience in use by rotating the vanity mirror secured to the rear of the sun visor body associate with its vertical motion. CONSTITUTION:When a sun visor is in service, the sun visor body 1 is reversed in rotating round the transverse 5a of a shaft 5 and moved from the accommodation position alongside the roof into the transversely oriented service position alongside the front window glass. In case a vanity is in service, on the other hand, the sun visor body 1 is slided downward from the sun visor service position along the longitudinal 5b of the shaft 5. No.2 rack 11 is slided by rotating No.1 pinion 9 with No.1 rack 7, and also No.2 pinion 12 is rotated. Thereby the vanity mirror 2 is rotated 90 into longitudinal orientation and located ahead the face of the user of vanity.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sun visor for a motor vehicle, in particular a sun visor with a vanity mirror.

Conventional Technology Various sun visors for automobiles with vanity mirrors are known, and among them, for example, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 117722/1983, a horizontally elongated mirror is attached to the back of the sun visor body, It is known that a lamp unit is disposed on both sides of the mirror, and the mirror and lamp unit are covered with an openable cover.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The sun visor body is arranged in a horizontal direction on the front roof rail part, and can be rotated nine times between a storage position along the roof and a use position approximately along the front window glass. Since the human face is long, even if a mirror is arranged horizontally on the back of the sun visor body, the entire face of the occupant cannot be reflected in the mirror when the vanity is used. had the inconvenience of having to stretch out in a seated position and change the position of the face to use the vanity. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention provides a sun visor for an automobile that can display the entire face of the occupant while sitting in the seated position without increasing the size of the sun visor body or mirror, thereby improving usability. This is Surushino.

Means for Solving the Problem A sun visor body is assembled so as to be rotatable about the horizontal axis of an abbreviated shaft that supports the sun visor body, and to be movable up and down about the vertical axis of the shaft. on the other hand,
A vanity mirror is rotatably supported on the back of the sun visor body, and a rack and pinion are provided within the sun visor body for converting vertical movement of the sun visor body with respect to the vertical axis of the shaft into rotational movement of the Moeki vanity mirror. A rotation mechanism consisting of a combination of

When using the working vanity, by rotating the sun visor body one turn from the storage position along the roof, the sun visor body is placed in the usage position approximately along the front window glass by a length of l1vi. When the sun visor body is moved downward with respect to the vertical axis, the rotation mechanism converts the downward movement of the sun visor body into a rotation movement of the vanity mirror on the back side of the sun visor body, and the vanity mirror is arranged vertically by the rotation.

Example Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In Figures 1 to 4, reference numeral 1 denotes a sun visor body formed in a substantially rectangular shape, and a vanity mirror 2 formed in a rectangular shape having approximately the same area as the sun visor body I is rotatably mounted approximately in the center of the back of the sun visor body 1. Specifically, a boss portion 3 protruding from the center of the back surface of the vanity mirror 2 is rotatably fitted onto a support shaft 4 protruding from the inner bottom portion of the sun visor body I, thereby supporting the vanity mirror 2. In this embodiment, the visor main body I of No. 077 is connected to the horizontal axis 5 of the oval-shaped shaft 5 by a rotating machine tank 6, which will be described later.
a, and the vertical axis 5b of the shaft 5.
It is assembled so that it can be moved up and down. This rotation mechanism 6
The first rack 7 has a bearing 8 inserted into the horizontal shaft 5a of the shaft 5 at its upper end, and the first pinion 9 is pivotally supported within the visor body i and meshes with the first rack 7. , a pair of slide guides I protruding inside the sun visor body 1
O is slidably supported by the ! It consists of a second rack 11 that meshes with the pinion 9, and a second pinion 12 that is fixed to the outer periphery of the boss portion 3 on the back side of the vanity mirror 2 and meshes with the 'i52 rack 11. Here, the vanity mirror 2 moves the sun visor main body 1 from a state aligned within the back surface of the sun visor main body 1 to the downward movement limit, that is,
When the upper edge of the sun visor main body 1 engages with the horizontal shaft 5a and slides to a position where downward movement is restricted, it is rotated 90 degrees and placed in a vertical position.

According to the structure of the above embodiment, when using the visor,
The sun visor body 1 is rotated two times around the horizontal axis 5a of the shaft 5 from the storage position along the roof (not shown) as shown in FIG. 1, and used approximately along the front window glass (not shown). Place it horizontally in the position. In this state, it is possible to use a vanity by showing your face in the vanity mirror 2 behind the sun visor body 1, but because the sun visor body 1 is located high, the vanity user cannot do so from a seated position as in the past. Moreover, since the vanity mirror 2 is horizontally long, it is not possible to show the entire long face, and therefore the vanity mirror must be used while changing the position of the face relative to the vanity mirror 2. . Therefore, when using such a vanity, when the sun visor main body l is slid downward along the vertical axis 5ai of the shaft 5 from the above-mentioned horizontally long sun visor use position, the first pinion is moved by the first rack 7. 9 rotates, and the rotation of the first pinion 9 is transmitted as a sliding movement of the second rack 11, and the second rack! 1 slide movement causes the second pinion 12 to rotate. As a result,
The vanity mirror 2 changes from a horizontally arranged state aligned with the back of the sun visor body 1 to a vertically arranged state as shown in FIG. 2 by rotating 90 degrees as the sun visor body 1 moves to the lower limit of movement. do. In this way, as the sun visor main body 1 moves downward, the vanity mirror 2 is placed vertically, so that the vanity mirror 2 is positioned exactly toward the front of the face of the vanity user, and as a result, the vanity user is seated in a sitting position. You can show your face without having to stretch your head out of the way, but you can show your entire long face on the vanity mirror 2. In addition, in the embodiment described in n4, only the vanity mirror 2 is provided, but in addition to this, a mirror/lamp unit in which a vanity mirror and a lamp unit are integrally arranged is rotatably provided. The unit may also provide a lighting effect when used at night.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the vanity mirror on the rear side can be rotated by moving the sun visor body up and down. The vanity mirror can be rotated and changed to a vertical position along with the downward movement of the main body, so the vanity mirror can be moved without changing the sitting position.
Since the vanity mirror is located in front of the face and is M-long, it has the advantage that the long face can be reflected in its entirety, further increasing usability.
