Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, since the conventional screen device as described above has a configuration in which upper and lower boxes are connected to the center pillar portion, the structure is complex and large-sized. For this reason, the conventional screen device has a problem that the manufacturing cost increases and there is a risk that the habitability of the limited space inside the cabin is impaired, and solving such problems has been an issue.

[0005] The present invention has been made paying attention to the above conventional problems, and an object thereof is to provide a screen device having a simple structure that can reduce the manufacturing cost and improve the habitability of the space inside the cabin.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The screen device according to the present invention is a device for suspending a screen inside the cabin of a vehicle, and is equipped with first and second vehicle body-side suction parts for holding one side and the other side of the upper edge of the screen. The first vehicle body-side suction part of this screen device is located in the space formed between the roof panel and the roof trim on one side of the left and right roof sides. The second vehicle body-side suction part is located at least one of the following positions: on the other side of the roof side opposite to the first vehicle body-side suction part, and on one side of the roof side further rearward than the first vehicle body-side suction part. The screen device is characterized in that it has screen-side suction parts on its upper edge that are attached to the first and second vehicle body-side suction parts, respectively, and at least one of the vehicle body-side suction part and the screen-side suction part is a magnet.

[0007] The screen device having the above configuration consists of first and second vehicle-side suction parts positioned on the vehicle body side, and a screen having a screen-side suction part on its upper edge, with one of the vehicle-side suction part and the screen-side suction part being a magnet. In other words, the screen device allows the screen to be attached to and detached from the first and second vehicle-side suction parts. The removed screen can be rolled up and stored, for example, in the trunk. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The screen device according to the present invention, by adopting the above configuration, has a simple structure, reduces manufacturing costs, and improves the livability of the cabin space. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0009] [Figure 1] This is a front view showing one embodiment of the screen device according to the present invention, in which a screen is suspended so as to partition the front and rear of the cabin. [Figure 2] This is a cross-sectional view illustrating the arrangement of the first magnet on the roof side. [Figure 3]This is a side view showing the screen suspended along the side of the cabin. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] <First Embodiment> The screen device shown in Figure 1 is a device for suspending a screen S inside the cabin C of a vehicle V, and includes first and second vehicle body-side suction parts M1 and M2 for holding one and the other side of the upper edge of the screen S. The vehicle V has a space 13 between the outer roof panel 11 and the inner roof trim 12, extending to both the left and right roof sides Rs.

[0011] The screen S is used as a partition or a projector screen, and is a flexible sheet made of cloth, plastic, or the like. In this embodiment, the screen S is rectangular with long sides at the top and bottom, and frames 1 and 2 are provided on the top and bottom sides to maintain a flat state when suspended, and screen-side suction parts 3 and 4 are arranged on the upper surface of the upper frame 1, which are attached to the first and second vehicle-side suction parts M1 and M2, respectively. The screen S may have only the frame 1 on the top side, or it may not have frames 1 and 2 at all.

[0012] Furthermore, at least one of the vehicle body side suction parts M1, M2 and the screen side suction parts 3, 4 is a magnet. In this embodiment, magnets are used for the vehicle body side suction parts M1, M2, while metal members that can be attracted to magnets are used for the screen side suction parts 3, 4 to reduce the weight of the screen S. Alternatively, both the vehicle body side suction parts M1, M2 and the screen side suction parts 3, 4 may be magnets, or the vehicle body V side may be a metal member and the screen S side may be a magnet.

[0013] The first vehicle-side suction part M1 is positioned in a space 13 formed between the roof panel 11 and the roof trim 12 on one side of the left and right roof sides Rs (right side in Figure 1). As shown in Figure 2, this first vehicle-side suction part M1 is fixed to the upper surface of the roof trim 12 in the vicinity of the airbag unit 14 positioned in the space 13. More preferably, this first vehicle-side suction part M1 is housed inside a bag-like portion formed on the upper surface of a lid 15 that opens when the airbag is deployed, or inside a protective case 16. Furthermore, it is particularly desirable that the position of the first vehicle-side suction part M1 be positioned forward of the center pillar Cp, as shown in Figure 3.

[0014] The second vehicle-side suction part M2 is positioned on the other side of the roof side Rs (left side in Figure 1) opposite to the first vehicle-side suction part M1 (position shown in Figure 1), and on one side of the roof side Rs (right side in Figure 1) further rearward than the first vehicle-side suction part M1 (position shown in Figure 3). In this embodiment, the second vehicle-side suction part M2 is positioned at both positions shown in Figures 1 and 3.

[0015] Therefore, the second vehicle body-side suction part M2 may be located in at least two places. Regarding the screen-side suction parts 3 and 4, the screen-side suction part 3 that adheres to the first vehicle body-side suction part M1 may be located on one end of the frame 1. On the other hand, the screen-side suction part 4 that adheres to the second vehicle body-side suction part M2 may be located in two places on the other end of the frame 1, corresponding to the difference in spacing between the first and second vehicle body-side suction parts M1 and M2 shown in Figure 1 and the first and second vehicle body-side suction parts M1 and M2 shown in Figure 3. Furthermore, the screen-side suction parts 3 and 4 can be made of thin, strip-shaped metal members provided along the upper surface of the frame 1, in which case they can be made to have different lengths or be integrated together.

[0016] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, the screen device has shielding members 5, 5 on the left and right vertical sides of the screen S to close the gaps with the inner surface of the cabin C. These shielding members 5, 5 can be made of the same material as the screen S, and for example, they may have a structure that is integrally formed with the screen S so as to be foldable with respect to the screen S.

[0017] The screen device having the above configuration has a simple structure including first and second vehicle body side suction portions M1, M2 arranged on the vehicle V side and a screen S having screen side suction portions 3, 4 on the upper side, and the screen S is detachable with respect to the first and second vehicle body side suction portions M1, M2. The removed screen S can be, for example, rolled up and stored in a trunk room or the like.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 1, according to the usage purpose such as a partition or a projection screen, the above screen device suspends the screen S so as to partition the internal space of the cabin C back and forth by adsorbing the screen side suction portions 3, 4 to the first and second vehicle body side suction portions M1, M2 arranged symmetrically on the left and right. At this time, the screen device projects the shielding member 5 to the left and right to shield the gap between the screen S and the inner surface of the cabin C.

[0019] Also, as shown in FIG. 3, on one side roof side Rs, the screen device suspends the screen S along the side surface in the cabin C by adsorbing the screen side suction portions 3, 4 to the first and second vehicle body side suction portions M1, M2 arranged in the front and rear of the vehicle.

[0020] The above screen device has a simple structure including the first and second vehicle body side suction portions Ml, M2 and a screen S having screen side suction portions 3, 4 that are detachable from the both vehicle body side suction portions M1, M2, and can achieve a reduction in manufacturing cost. Also, since the above screen device only suspends the screen in the cabin C, it does not get in the way and can improve the habitability of the space in the cabin C.

[0021] Furthermore, by arranging the first vehicle body side adsorption part M1 on the front side of the vehicle rather than on the center pillar Cp, as shown in FIG. 3, the screen S covers at least the rear part of the window of the front seat. That is, the screen device described above is designed to prevent use during the running of the vehicle V by deliberately creating a state that hinders driving during use.

[0022] Furthermore, in the above screen device, the first vehicle body side adsorption part M1 is fixed to the upper surface of the roof trim 12. By adsorbing the first and second vehicle body side adsorption parts M1 and M2 and the screen side adsorption parts 3 and 4 vertically, the attachment and detachment work is facilitated, and the screen S can be suspended while maintaining its planar state. Also, the screen device is housed inside a bag-shaped part formed on the upper surface of a lid body 15 that is opened when the airbag operates or inside a protective case 16, which improves the workability of attaching the first vehicle body side adsorption part M1. As shown by the virtual line in FIG. 2, when the lid 15 is rapidly opened by the operation of the airbag unit 14, the scattering of the first vehicle body side adsorption part (magnet) M1 is prevented.

[0023] Furthermore, the above screen device has shielding members 5, 5 on the left and right vertical sides of the screen S. As a result, when the screen S is suspended to partition the front and rear of the cabin C as shown in FIG. 1, the shielding member 5 functions as a blind to block the gap between the screen S and the inner surface of the cabin C, and can contribute to further improving the habitability inside the cabin C.

[0024] The configuration of the screen device according to the present invention is not limited to only the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist of the present invention.
