Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, in these roof apparatuses for vehicles, the guide plate has a pair of guide plate portions, and it is necessary to secure an installation space for these guide plate portions on the guide rail.
Therefore, the size of the guide rail in the vehicle width direction has to be enlarged, and the opening width in this direction is reduced by the increase in the space occupied by the guide rail in the vehicle width direction.

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0031] Hereinafter, a first embodiment of a vehicle roof apparatus will be described. In addition, below, the front-back direction of a vehicle is called a "front-back direction", and the top and bottom of a vehicle height direction are called "upper" and "lower", respectively. In addition, the vehicle width direction inner side toward the interior of the vehicle compartment is referred to as "vehicle interior", and the vehicle width direction outer side towards the compartment outer side is referred to as "vehicle outer side".

[0032] Such as figure 1 As shown, a substantially rectangular opening 10 a is formed on a roof 10 of a vehicle such as an automobile, and a sunroof device 11 is attached thereto. The sunroof device 11 includes, for example, a substantially quadrangular movable panel 12 made of a glass plate, and the movable panel 12 moves in the front-rear direction to open and close the opening 10a.

[0033] Such as image 3 (a)~ image 3 As shown in the change o...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0054] Hereinafter, a second embodiment of a vehicle roof apparatus will be described. In addition, for convenience of explanation, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same configurations as those of the above-mentioned first embodiment, and a part of description thereof will be omitted.

[0055] Such as Figure 7 As shown, the guide rail 31 of this embodiment is made of, for example, an aluminum alloy extruded material, has a certain cross-section in the longitudinal direction and faces in the front-back direction (in the Figure 7 In the direction perpendicular to the paper surface) extension. The guide rail 31 has an elongated bottom wall 31a extending in the front-rear direction, a guide portion 31b that is connected to the vehicle inner side end of the bottom wall 31a and has a substantially U-shaped cross-section that opens on the vehicle outside, and a vehicle that is connected to the bottom wall 31a. The outer end is connected to a belt guide portion 31 c...

Abstract

A vehicle roof apparatus includes: guide rails provided on both edge portions of an opening formed on a vehicle roof, respectively; a front housing connecting front-end portions of the guide rails to each other; and a support member having a shoe portion protruding only on one side and mounted on each of the guide rails to be immovable on the one side and supporting each of the edge portions of the movable panel which opens or closes the opening, wherein the support member is rotatable about the shoe portion such that the movable panel performs a tilting up operation in a completely closed state, and wherein, in the front housing, a regulation wall is formed, which comes into contact with or approaches the support member from a side opposite to the shoe portion when the movable panel enters the completely closed state or the tilting up operation state.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle roof device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, various proposals have been made as roof devices for vehicles (for example, Patent Documents 1, 2, etc.). These roof devices for vehicles are equipped with a support member for supporting the movable panel. For example, in the fully closed state of the movable panel, the movable panel is tilted upward by rotating the support member with the front as a fulcrum, or in the movable panel. In the tilt-up state, the movable panel is opened and closed by moving the supporting member in the vehicle front-rear direction. [0003] That is, the guide plate supported by the guide rail is rotatably connected to the front part of the supporting member. The guide plate has a pair of guide plate portions disposed on both sides in the vehicle width direction with the support member interposed therebetween. The support members are attached to the guide rails via thes...
