Abstract

A vehicle sunshade device has guide rails disposed on both sides of an opening formed in a roof of a vehicle. The guide rails each has a guide groove having in turn a straight portion oriented longitudinally and extending substantially horizontally and an inclined portion continuous with the straight portion. Sliding members are slidably fitted in the groove, the sliding members being provided on sides of a sunshade for opening and closing the opening, being made larger in longitudinal length than in thickness and being elastically deformable in vertical directions. A vertical gap in the inclined portion at least at an intermediate portion thereof is made larger than a vertical gap in the straight portion of the guide groove. In the case of the vehicle sunshade device having front and rear sunshades, sliding members each having a portion for abutment at a front upper portion are provided on both sides of a rear sunshade at a front portion thereof. And side plates are provided on both sides of a front sunshade which each have at a rear end thereof an abutment portion adapted to be brought into abutment with the portion for abutment of the sliding member so as to push the rear shade rearward. An inclined portion is provided below the abutment portion in such a manner as to incline forwardly downwardly so as to push the portion for abutment of the sliding member downwardly toward the rear when the sunshade approaches the fully opened position, and a lower edge extending continuously from a front end thereof toward the front so as to prevent the upward movement of the sliding member.
