DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in Fig. 1, a sunshade for an infant seat cover (hereinafter, referred to as "sunshade") 10A is removably attached to an infant seat cover 28A. First, an infant seat cover 28A to which the sunshade 10A according to this embodiment can be applied will be described.

[0011] (Child seat cover) 1 is a front seat cover that is attached to a front child seat of a three-seater bicycle. The child seat cover 28A includes a pair of side sheets 30, a ceiling sheet 32 ​​provided between the side sheets 30, and a front lower sheet 34, and is attached so as to cover the front child seat (not shown).

[0012] The pair of side surface sheets 30 each have a sheet body 36, a frame portion 38, and a handle-passing window portion 40, and are formed symmetrically on the left and right.

[0013] The sheet body 36 has a transparent portion 42 and a water-repellent portion 44, and has a generally elliptical shape with a smooth curved periphery. The transparent portion 42 is made of a transparent waterproof material. The water-repellent portion 44 is made of a non-transparent waterproof material that has been treated to be water-repellent. In this embodiment, the water-repellent portion 44 is illustrated as being made of a non-transparent material.

[0014] In the present embodiment, the substantially upper half of the sheet body 36 is made up of a transparent portion 42, and the remaining substantially lower half is made up of a water-repellent portion 44. The water-repellent portion 44 is preferably made of a highly flexible material.

[0015] The lower end of the transparent portion 42 and the upper end of the water-repellent portion 44 are joined via a strip-shaped joint 46. The joint 46 crosses the surface of one side sheet 30 from the rear end 30R to the front end 30F, and is then bridged to the front end 30F of the other side sheet 30 arranged at a predetermined distance. The joint 46 is further arranged so as to cross the surface of the other side sheet 30 from the front end 30F to the rear end 30R. The joint 46 at the lower end of the side sheet 30 is called the side joint 46S, and the joint 46 at the front end of the ceiling sheet 32 ​​is called the front joint 46F. The side joint 46S has a contour where two straight lines intersect at a position that is concave toward the transparent portion in the center.

[0016] The sheet body 36 has a band-shaped ribbon 39 attached to the entire outer periphery. A frame portion 38 is inserted into the band-shaped ribbon 39. The frame portion 38 is made of an elastically deformable wire material. The frame portion 38 keeps the sheet body 36 in a planar shape.

[0017] The ceiling sheet 32 ​​is formed of the same sheet material as the transparent portion 42. The ceiling sheet 32 ​​has a substantially rectangular shape, and is formed so that the width of the center of the long side is shorter than the width of both ends. The long sides of the ceiling sheet 32 ​​are connected to the frame portion 38, which is the outer edge of the transparent portion 42, via ceiling fasteners 48. The ceiling fasteners 48 are not particularly limited, but for example, slide fasteners can be used. By opening the ceiling fasteners 48, a wide opening 29 is formed between the pair of side sheet 30.

[0018] In the child seat cover 28A shown in Figure 1, the portion formed of transparent sheet material, i.e., the portion covered by the ceiling sheet 32 ​​which is above the joint 46, and the area including the transparent portion 42, are referred to as the light-shielding area.

[0019] 2, a tension bar 35 is removably provided on the rear side of the child seat cover 28A as a spacing maintaining part parallel to the short side of the ceiling sheet 32. The tension bar 35 is a rod-shaped member made of hard resin, and maintains a constant spacing between the pair of side surface sheets 30. The tension bar 35 is provided with snap buttons 37 on both ends, and is fixed between the pair of side surface sheets 30 by engaging with snap buttons 41 provided on the frame parts 38 of the pair of side surface sheets 30.

[0020] (sunshade) Next, the sunshade 10A according to this embodiment will be described. The sunshade 10A shown in Fig. 1 includes a shade body 12, a front engagement portion 14 as a first engagement portion, and a second engagement portion 18. It is preferable that the first engagement portion further includes a rear engagement portion 16 in addition to the front engagement portion 14.

[0021] The shade body 12 may be a mesh sheet or woven fabric having many through holes. The material of the shade body 12 may be polyester or nylon. The shade body 12 has a pair of side shades 20 and a ceiling shade 22. The side shade 20 has a planar shape corresponding to the transparent portion 42, and has a shape of an inverted ellipse divided into two parts, left and right. The side edge 24 at the lower end of the side shade 20 has a shape that follows the side joint 46S. That is, the side edge 24 of the side shade 20 has an outline where two straight lines intersect at a position that is concave toward the inner surface in the central portion.

[0022] The ceiling shade 22 is substantially rectangular, and as shown in FIG. 3, the width of the center is shorter than the width of both ends. The side shade 20 and the ceiling shade 22 are integrated by joining the curved periphery of the side shade 20, excluding the side edge 24, to each long side of the ceiling shade 22. The front edge 25, which is the front end, and the rear edge 27, which is the rear end, of the ceiling shade 22 are integrally formed with the side edge 24 of the side shade 20 (FIG. 1). The back side of the shade body 12 has an opening surrounded by the front edge 25 and rear edge 27 of the ceiling shade 22 and the side edge 24 of the side shade 20. The front edge 25, the rear edge 27, and the side edge 24 may be provided with an elastic member such as a rubber band in a ring shape, and may be formed to contract inward relative to the opening.

[0023] The front engagement portion 14 and the rear engagement portion 16 have the same configuration and differ only in the position where they are fixed to the shade main body 12, so only the front engagement portion 14 will be described. That is, the front engagement portion 14 is fixed to the front end portion of the shade main body 12, and the rear engagement portion 16 is fixed to the upper end portion of the shade main body 12.

[0024] The front engagement portion 14 has a connecting member 13 and a clip 15 fixed to the connecting member 13. The connecting member 13 can be a string-like member formed into an elongated shape from cloth, leather, vinyl, or the like. The clip 15 is used to hold something by pinching it, for example, like a clothespin. The clip 15 has a pair of arms, a shaft portion connecting the pair of arms, and a spring portion applying force in a direction in which the tips of the pair of arms come into contact with each other. At least one of the pair of arms has a through hole formed at its base end. The clip 15 can pinch the frame portion 38 at its tip by applying force to the pair of arms in a direction in which the base ends come into contact with each other, and by releasing the force to close the tip.

[0025] The front engagement parts 14 have one end of the connecting member 13 passed through one of the through holes in the pair of arms, and both ends of the connecting member 13 serve as base ends, and the base ends are fixed to the shade main body 12. The clips 15 are held at the tips of the connecting members 13. One front engagement part 14 is fixed to each boundary between the front edge 25 and the side edge 24 of the shade main body 12 (two in total). The rear engagement parts 16 are the joints between the side shade 20 and the ceiling shade 22, and one each is fixed to the outside of the rear top of the shade main body 12 (two in total).

[0026] The second engagement parts 18 are made of a string-like member similar to the connecting member 13. After being arranged in a ring shape, both ends of the second engagement parts 18 are fixed to the shade main body 12. The second engagement parts 18 are joints between the side shade 20 and the ceiling shade 22, and one each (two in total) are fixed to the inside of the rear side parts of the shade main body 12.

[0027] (Installation Method) Next, a method for attaching the sunshade 10A configured as described above will be described. Note that the following attachment method is an example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this. First, the ceiling fastener 48 of the ceiling sheet 32 ​​of the child seat cover 28A is opened in advance, and the opening 29 is opened widely.

[0028] Next, the sunshade 10A is placed above the infant seat cover 28A (Figure 4) with its front side positioned on the front side of the infant seat cover 28A and the side shade 20 positioned on the side sheet 30 side of the infant seat cover 28A, and then it is placed over the infant seat cover 28A (Figure 5).

[0029] Next, the rear engagement portion 16 is sandwiched together with the frame portion 38 from the outside of the shade body 12, and the shade body 12 is fixed to the frame portion 38. After that, the front engagement portion 14 is pulled downward and fixed to the front frame portion 38, using the rear engagement portion 16 fixed to the frame portion 38 as a fulcrum (FIG. 6). The front engagement portion 14 fixes the front portion of the shade body 12 by aligning it with the front end of the frame portion 38, i.e., the lower end of the light-shielding area. The rear engagement portion 16 fixes the top of the shade body 12 by engaging the clip 15 with the frame portion 38 located at the top of the side surface sheet 30.

[0030] 7, the rear edge 27 of the sunshade 10A is rolled up, one snap button of the tension bar 35 is removed, the second engagement part 18 is passed through the tension bar 35, and the tension bar 35 is engaged with the snap button again to fix the second engagement part 18 to the tension bar 35. After the second engagement part 18 is fixed to the tension bar 35, the rear edge 27 is lowered. In this way, the tension bar 35 also functions as a fixing part that fixes the second engagement part 18. It is also possible to fix the front engagement part 14 to the front frame part 38 while pulling it downward with the second engagement part 18 as a fulcrum.

[0031] The front edge 25 of the sunshade 10A is disposed at a position overlapping the front joint 46F, and the side edge 24 of the sunshade 10A is disposed at a position overlapping the side joint 46S. In this manner, the sunshade 10A covers the light-blocking area.

[0032] (Action and Effects) Next, the operation and effect of the sunshade 10A according to this embodiment will be described. Since the sunshade 10A has the ceiling shade 22 and the side shade 20 integrally formed, it can cover the light-blocking area including the opening 29 and the transparent portion .

[0033] The front engagement portion 14 fixes the shade body 12 to the frame portion 38 by clamping the frame portion 38 with the clip 15, so that the front edge portion 25 of the shade body 12 can be fixed at any position between the front side and the upper side of the frame portion 38. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, the sunshade 10A can fix the front edge portion 25 of the shade body 12 to any position of the frame portion 38 within the light-shielding area, thereby adjusting the opening degree of the opening 29. At this time, the clip 15 can clamp any position of the shade body 12 and fix it to the frame portion 38. In particular, it is preferable that the clip 15 is clamped at the position of the front edge portion 25 of the shade body 12 and fixed to the frame portion 38, since this can prevent damage to the shade body 12.

[0034] Therefore, the sunshade 10A can adjust the light blocking area to a range desired by the user, thereby improving usability.

[0035] A child can get on and off the child seat by releasing the front engaging portion 14 and rolling up the front edge 25 of the shade body 12 to form an opening. The rear engaging portion 16 fixes the upper end portion of the shade body 12 to the frame portion 38, so that the shade body 12 is prevented from being rolled up more than necessary when opening the sunshade 10A.

[0036] Since the second engagement portion 18 is fixed to the tension bar 35, the sunshade 10A is held on the child seat cover 28A even if the clips 15 of the front engagement portion 14 and the rear engagement portion 16 are unexpectedly detached from the frame portion 38. Therefore, the sunshade 10A can be prevented from unexpectedly falling off the child seat cover 28A and can also be prevented from being stolen.

[0037] Since the side edge 24 at the lower end of the side shade 20 has a shape that conforms to the side joint 46S, the sunshade 10A can efficiently cover the transparent portion of the child seat cover 28A, and in combination with the water-repellent portion of the child seat cover 28A, a unified design can be achieved.

[0038] (Modification) The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the present invention.

[0039] In the above embodiment, the sunshade 10A is attached to the child seat cover 28A for the front seat, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the sunshade 10A may be attached to the child seat cover for the rear seat. The sunshade for the child seat cover according to the first modification of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 9 in which the same components as those in FIG. 1 are given the same reference numerals. The sunshade 10B shown in FIG. 9 has a shape corresponding to the child seat cover for the rear seat, and is shaped to correspond to the rear seat cover whose height is higher than the front seat cover. The sunshade 10B has a front engagement portion 14, a rear engagement portion 16, and a second engagement portion 18, which are provided along the joints between the pair of side shades 20 and the ceiling shade 22. The ceiling shade 22 is substantially rectangular, and is formed so that the width of the center portion is shorter than the width of both ends as shown in FIG. 10.

[0040] 11, in which the same components as in FIG. 2 are given the same reference numerals, the rear seat child seat cover 28B includes a pair of side sheets 30, a ceiling sheet 32 ​​and a front lower sheet 34 provided between the side sheets 30, and a tension bar 35. The front side of the sunshade 10B is disposed in front of the child seat cover 28B, and the side shade 20 is disposed on the side sheet 30 side of the child seat cover 28B, and the sunshade 10B is disposed above the child seat cover 28B (FIG. 12) and covered over the child seat cover 28B (FIG. 13).

[0041] Next, the front engagement portion 14 is fixed to the front frame portion 38, and the rear engagement portion 16 is sandwiched together with the frame portion 38 from the outside of the shade body 12 to fix the shade body 12 to the frame portion 38. Next, as shown in Fig. 14, the rear edge portion 27 of the sunshade 10B is rolled up, one snap button of the tension bar 35 is removed, the tension bar 35 is passed through the second engagement portion 18, and the tension bar 35 is engaged with the snap button again to fix the second engagement portion 18 to the tension bar 35. After the second engagement portion 18 is fixed to the tension bar 35, the rear edge portion 27 is lowered.

[0042] As described above, the sunshade 10B covers the shading area, and as shown in FIG. 15, the front edge 25 of the shade body 12 can be fixed to any position of the frame portion 38 within the shading area to adjust the opening degree.

[0043] In the above embodiment, the front engaging portion 14 and the rear engaging portion 16 have the connecting member 13 and the clip 15 fixed to the connecting member 13, but the present invention is not limited to this. A sunshade for an infant seat cover according to a second modified example of this embodiment will be described. The sunshade 10C shown in FIG. 16A is for an infant seat cover 28A for the front seat, and a front engaging portion 50A and a rear engaging portion 52A are provided on the inside of the shade body 12. The front engaging portion 50A and the rear engaging portion 52A are snap buttons as inner engaging members. Although not shown, snap buttons as outer engaging members corresponding to the front engaging portion 50A and the rear engaging portion 52A are provided at corresponding positions of the infant seat cover 28A. In particular, the snap button corresponding to the front engaging portion 50A is provided at one or more places on the frame portion within the light-shielding region in addition to the front end of the frame portion, i.e., the position of the lower end of the light-shielding region. The sunshade 10C can cover the entire light-shielding area by fixing the front engagement part 50A to a snap button provided at the front end of the frame part. The sunshade 10C can adjust the opening degree of the light-shielding area by fixing the front engagement part 50A to a snap button arranged at an appropriate position of the frame part within the light-shielding area. As shown in FIG. 16B, the sunshade 10D for the child seat cover 28B for the rear seat may also be provided with the front engagement part 50A and the rear engagement part 52A.

[0044] A sunshade for an infant seat cover according to a third modified example of this embodiment will be described. The sunshade 10E shown in FIG. 17A is for an infant seat cover 28A for the front seat. The front engaging portion 50B and the rear engaging portion 52B provided on the inside of the shade body 12 are hook-and-loop fasteners as inner engaging members. Although not shown, hook-and-loop fasteners are provided as outer engaging members corresponding to the front engaging portion 50B and the rear engaging portion 52B at corresponding positions of the infant seat cover 28A. In particular, the hook-and-loop fastener corresponding to the front engaging portion 50B is provided at one or more locations on the frame portion within the light-shielding region in addition to the front end of the frame portion, i.e., the position of the lower end of the light-shielding region. The sunshade 10E can cover the entire light-shielding region, and can adjust the opening degree of the light-shielding region by fixing it to the hook-and-loop fasteners arranged at appropriate positions on the frame portion within the light-shielding region. As shown in FIG. 17B, the front engaging portion 50B and the rear engaging portion 52B may also be provided in the sunshade 10F for the infant seat cover 28B for the rear seat. The hook-and-loop fastener may be provided over the entire frame 38 of the light-shielding area. By providing the hook-and-loop fastener over the entire light-shielding area, the opening degree of the light-shielding area can be set more precisely.

[0045] In the above embodiment, the shade body 12 of the sunshade 10A covers the entire area from the front to the upper side within the light-shielding area of ​​the frame 38, but the present invention is not limited to this. The shade body 12 may be configured to cover a part of the area from the front to the upper side within the light-shielding area of ​​the frame 38. A sunshade for an infant seat cover according to a fourth modified example of this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 18 in which the same components as those in Fig. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 18, the sunshade 10G is for the front seat child seat cover 28A. The sunshade 10G is not limited to being attached to the front seat child seat cover 28A, but can also be attached to the rear seat child seat cover 28B (FIG. 11) by making it into a shape corresponding to the rear seat child seat cover 28B. The shade body 12 of the sunshade 10G is configured to cover a part of the area from the front side to the upper side within the light-shielding area of ​​the frame part 38. The "area from the front side to the upper side within the light-shielding area" refers to the part covered by the ceiling sheet 32, that is, the opening 29. In this example, the shade body 12 opens the front part of the opening 29 and covers the rear part of the opening 29. Here, if the position of the center between the front top and the upper top of the seat body 36 that constitutes the side sheet 30 of the infant seat cover 28A is defined as P1, then of the entire opening 29, the portion forward of position P1 is the "front portion of opening 29", and the portion rearward of position P1 is the "rear portion of opening 29".

[0047] The side shade 20 of the sunshade 10G is configured to cover a part of the transparent portion 42 that constitutes the light blocking area. In this example, the side shade 20 opens the front part of the transparent portion 42 and covers the rear part of the transparent portion 42 (FIG. 20). Here, if the position P2 of the side joint portion 46S arranged at the lower end of the transparent portion 42 that is concave toward the transparent portion 42 is taken as the position P2, then the part of the entire transparent portion 42 that is forward of the straight line extending to include the positions P1 and P2 is the "front part of the transparent portion 42", and the part of the entire transparent portion 42 that is rear of the straight line extending to include the positions P1 and P2 is the "rear part of the transparent portion 42".

[0048] The side shade 20 has a generally fan-shaped configuration. The side edge 24 of the side shade 20 is composed of two straight lines connecting both ends of the arc section. Of the two straight lines constituting the side edge 24, the rear straight line is positioned so as to overlap with the rear portion of the side joint 46S (FIG. 20). Of the entire side joint 46S, the portion rearward of position P2 is the "rear portion of the side joint 46S."

[0049] The ceiling shade 22 of the sunshade 10G is configured to cover a part of the opening 29 that constitutes the light blocking area. In this example, the ceiling shade 22 opens the front part of the opening 29 and covers the rear part of the opening 29. A front edge 25 which is the front end of the ceiling shade 22 and a rear edge 27 which is the rear end of the ceiling shade 22 are formed integrally with the side edge 24 of the side shade 20.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 19, the ceiling shade 22 has a substantially rectangular shape and is formed so that the width of the central portion is shorter than the widths of both ends.

[0051] As shown in FIG. 20, the sunshade 10G is attached to the child seat cover 28A. FIG. 20 is a perspective view showing the sunshade 10G in use. The front edge 25 of the ceiling shade 22 is disposed at any position from the front side to the upper side within the light-shielding area of ​​the frame 38. In FIG. 20, the front edge 25 is disposed at a substantially central portion between the front apex and the rear apex of the shade main body 12. By attaching the sunshade 10G to the child seat cover 28A, the front portion of the opening 29 in the light-shielding area is opened, and the rear portion of the opening 29 is covered by the ceiling shade 22. In addition, the front portion of the transparent portion 42 in the light-shielding area is opened, and the rear portion of the transparent portion 42 is covered by the side shade 20. In this way, the shade main body 12 of the sunshade 10G is configured to cover only the rear portion of the light-shielding area.

[0052] The method of attaching the sunshade 10G will be described. The front side of the sunshade 10G is placed in front of the child seat cover 28A, and the side shade 20 is placed on the side of the side sheet 30 of the child seat cover 28A, and the sunshade 10G is placed above the child seat cover 28A (FIG. 18) and covered with the child seat cover 28A.

[0053] Next, the front engagement portion 14 is fixed to the front frame portion 38, and the rear engagement portion 16 is sandwiched together with the frame portion 38 from the outside of the shade body 12 to fix the shade body 12 to the frame portion 38. Next, the rear edge portion 27 of the sunshade 10G is rolled up, one snap button of the tension bar 35 is released, the tension bar 35 is passed through the second engagement portion 18, and the tension bar 35 is engaged with the snap button again to fix the second engagement portion 18 to the tension bar 35. After the second engagement portion 18 is fixed to the tension bar 35, the rear edge portion 27 is lowered (FIG. 20).

[0054] As described above, the sunshade 10G covers a portion of the area from the front to the upper side within the shading area (the rear portion of the opening 29) and the rear portion of the transparent portion 42, and the front edge portion 25 of the shade body 12 can be fixed to any position of the frame portion 38 within the shading area to adjust the opening degree of the shading area.

[0055] In the above embodiment, the case has been described where the side shade 20 of the sunshade 10A covers the transparent portion 42 constituting approximately the upper half of the pair of side sheet 30 and does not cover the water-repellent portion 44 constituting approximately the lower half of the pair of side sheet 30, but the present invention is not limited to this. The side shade 20 may be configured to cover the transparent portion 42 and the water-repellent portion 44. A sunshade for an infant seat cover according to a fifth modified example of this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 21 in which the same components as those in Fig. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0056] As shown in Fig. 21, the sunshade 10H is for the front seat child seat cover 28A. The sunshade 10H is not limited to being attached to the front seat child seat cover 28A, but can also be attached to the rear seat child seat cover 28B (Fig. 11) by making it into a shape corresponding to the rear seat child seat cover 28B. The shade body 12 of the sunshade 10H is configured to cover a part of the area from the front side to the upper side within the light-shielding area of ​​the frame part 38, similar to the case of the sunshade 10G, and in this example, it opens the front part of the opening 29 and covers the rear part of the opening 29.

[0057] The side surface shade 20 of the sunshade 10H is configured to cover a part of the transparent portion 42 constituting the light blocking area of ​​the pair of side surface sheets 30, and to cover a part of the water repellent portion 44. In this example, the side surface shade 20 leaves the front portion of the transparent portion 42 open and covers the rear portion of the transparent portion 42 and the rear portion of the water repellent portion 44 (FIG. 23). Of the entire water repellent portion 44, the part that is rearward of a straight line extending to include positions P1 and P2 is the "rear portion of the water repellent portion 44."

[0058] The side shade 20 has a generally semi-elliptical shape formed by cutting an ellipse along the minor axis. The side edge 24 of the side shade 20 is made up of a straight line portion connecting both ends of the arc portion. The straight line portion constituting the side edge 24 passes near the position P2 of the side joint 46S and is positioned so as to overlap both the transparent portion 42 and the water-repellent portion 44 (FIG. 23).

[0059] The ceiling shade 22 of the sunshade 10H, like the sunshade 10G, is configured to cover a part of the opening 29 that constitutes the light-blocking area, and in this example, it opens the front part of the opening 29 and covers the rear part of the opening 29. A front edge 25 which is the front end of the ceiling shade 22 and a rear edge 27 which is the rear end thereof are formed integrally with the side edge 24 of the side shade 20.

[0060] As shown in FIG. 22, the ceiling shade 22 has a substantially rectangular shape and is formed so that the width of the central portion is shorter than the widths of both ends.

[0061] As shown in FIG. 23, the sunshade 10H is attached to the child seat cover 28A. FIG. 23 is a perspective view showing the sunshade 10H in use. The front edge 25 of the ceiling shade 22 is located at any position from the front side to the upper side within the light-shielding area of ​​the frame 38. In FIG. 23, the front edge 25 is located at a substantially central portion between the front apex and the rear apex of the shade body 12. By attaching the sunshade 10H to the child seat cover 28A, the front portion of the opening 29 in the light-shielding area is opened, and the rear portion of the opening 29 is covered by the ceiling shade 22. In addition, the front portion of the transparent portion 42 in the light-shielding area is opened, and the rear portion of the transparent portion 42 and the rear portion of the water-repellent portion 44 are covered by the side shade 20. In this way, the shade body 12 of the sunshade 10H is configured to cover an area equivalent to the rear half of the child seat cover 28A, including the rear portion of the light-shielding area and the rear portion of the water-repellent portion 44.

[0062] The method of attaching the sunshade 10H will be described. The front side of the sunshade 10H is placed in front of the child seat cover 28A, and the side shade 20 is placed on the side of the side sheet 30 of the child seat cover 28A. The sunshade 10H is then placed above the child seat cover 28A (FIG. 21) and covered with the child seat cover 28A.

[0063] Next, the front engagement portion 14 is fixed to the front frame portion 38, and the rear engagement portion 16 is sandwiched together with the frame portion 38 from the outside of the shade body 12 to fix the shade body 12 to the frame portion 38. Next, the rear edge portion 27 of the sunshade 10H is rolled up, one snap button of the tension bar 35 is released, the tension bar 35 is passed through the second engagement portion 18, and the tension bar 35 is engaged with the snap button again to fix the second engagement portion 18 to the tension bar 35. After the second engagement portion 18 is fixed to the tension bar 35, the rear edge portion 27 is lowered (FIG. 23).

[0064] As described above, the sunshade 10H covers not only a portion of the area from the front to the upper side within the shading area (the rear portion of the opening 29) and the rear portion of the transparent portion 42, but also the rear portion of the water-repellent portion 44, and the front edge portion 25 of the shade body 12 can be fixed to any position of the frame portion 38 within the shading area to adjust the opening degree of the shading area.

[0065] Although the sunshade 10G and the sunshade 10H are configured to cover a portion of the entire opening 29 that is rearward of position P1 (the rear portion of the opening 29), the present invention is not limited to this. For example, any position between the front top and the upper top of the sheet main body 36 may be set as a specific position in the entire opening 29, and this specific position may be used instead of position P1 to cover a portion rearward of the specific position. The range of the light-blocking region that is covered can be changed by changing the design of the specific position.

[0066] In the above embodiment, the spacing maintaining portion is a rod-shaped member, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the spacing maintaining portion may be a plate-shaped member. Also, the spacing maintaining portion may be integrally formed with a part of the ceiling sheet using a hard material.

[0067] In the above embodiment, the second engagement portion is fixed to the spacing portion as a fixing portion, but the present invention is not limited to this. The second engagement portion is sufficient as long as it can prevent the sunshade from suddenly falling off the child seat cover when the first engagement portion is suddenly detached or the first engagement portion is forgotten to be engaged. For example, the fixing portion may be a ring-shaped member or a hook. In this case, the second engagement portion may be a ring-shaped member or a hook that can be engaged with the fixing portion, or a string that can be tied to the fixing portion.
