Description

  The present invention relates to a sunshade device, particularly a roll sunshade device.

As a conventional sunshade device, for example, one described in Patent Document 1 is known. This sunshade device has at least one mounting rod to which an end portion on the free end side of at least one light-shielding sheet that can be wound around a winding roller is connected, and has a long shape extending in the width direction of the light-shielding sheet Garnish (4). A rotating shaft is disposed at the longitudinal center of the mounting rod, and the rotating shaft rotatably connects the mounting rod to the garnish. When a tensile force is simultaneously applied to both ends in the longitudinal direction of the garnish through the left and right driving cables (24, 25), the garnish moves together with the mounting rod so that the ends are connected to the mounting rod. The light-shielding sheet is pulled out. When the longitudinal ends of the garnish are displaced relative to each other in the garnish movement direction due to, for example, the driving cable extending, the garnish is inclined with respect to the movement direction due to the displacement. However, when the mounting rod rotates with respect to the inclination of the garnish, the mounting rod is not affected by the displacement. That is, the longitudinal direction (axis line) of the mounting rod is kept parallel to the winding axis of the winding roller. Therefore, the light shielding sheet is pulled out perpendicular to the winding shaft. Therefore, since the light shielding sheet does not tilt due to the influence of the garnish, the sunshade device can ensure smooth operation without interfering with other members. In addition, by using two or more light shielding sheets, it is proposed not only to develop these flatly, but also to develop them so as to match the W curvature (curvature in the vehicle left-right direction) and the curvature before and after the opening. Has been.
US Pat. No. 6,634,703 B1 (FIGS. 1-4)

  However, in Patent Document 1, in order to ensure the smooth operability of the sunshade device described above, the long garnish and the mounting rod are overlapped and connected in the vehicle height direction. In addition, the garnish needs to hold the mounting rod and the light shielding sheet on the rotating shaft, and sufficient strength is required to obtain high operational reliability. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the size of the vehicle in the vehicle height direction over the entire length thereof, and there is a problem that the head clearance is reduced, for example. An object of the present invention is to provide a sunshade device that is thin in the direction intersecting the moving plane of the light shielding sheet and that has smooth operability.

  In order to solve the above problems, the invention according to claim 1 is directed along the width direction of the light-shielding sheet that is movable in the direction of shielding and opening the light-transmissive member that forms the light-transmissive area in the vehicle opening. A garnish that is extended and connected to the moving end of the light shielding sheet, and a pair of guide rails that are linked to both ends of the garnish in the width direction and extend in the moving direction of the light shielding sheet. A drive cable to be linked; a cable engagement portion provided in the drive cable opposite to at least one of the both end portions of the garnish; provided in a width direction end portion of the garnish opposite the cable engagement portion; A garnish meshing portion that can mesh with the cable meshing portion, and an urging force that biases the cable meshing portion and the garnish meshing portion to mesh with each other. And a timber, at least one of said cable engagement portion and the garnish engagement portion is summarized in that with adjustable adjustment range the meshing position in the moving direction of the garnish.

  According to this configuration, during operation, the urging member is urged so that the cable engagement portion and the garnish engagement portion are engaged, so that the garnish moves together with the drive cable, and the light shielding sheet is It moves in the direction that blocks or opens the light transmitting member. On the other hand, it is assumed that the drive cable is extended, for example, so that a displacement occurs in the moving direction of the garnish between the both ends of the garnish. Since at least one of the cable meshing portion and the garnish meshing portion has an adjustment width that allows the meshing position to be adjusted in the moving direction of the garnish, the cable meshing portion and the cable meshing portion and the urging force of the urging member are resisted. By releasing the meshing state of the garnish meshing portions and shifting their meshing positions in the moving direction of the garnish, it is possible to adjust the positional shift between the both end portions of the garnish without performing a large disassembly operation. Therefore, even if the light shielding sheet is inclined due to the influence of the garnish inclination, the inclination of the light shielding sheet can be eliminated by adjusting the positional deviation. Therefore, the smooth operability of the sunshade device can be ensured. In addition, since the positional deviation can be adjusted in this way, the positional accuracy at the time of assembly required for the cable meshing portion facing the garnish (garnish meshing portion) can be relaxed, and assemblability can be reduced accordingly. Can be improved. In particular, the light-shielding sheet such as a conventional sunshade device can be obtained by intensively arranging the mechanism for adjusting the positional deviation at the connecting portion (cable engagement portion and garnish engagement portion) of the garnish and the drive cable. Compared with the case where the adjustment mechanism is arranged in a direction intersecting with the moving plane, the thickness can be reduced in this direction.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the sunshade device according to the first aspect, the adjustment width of one of the cable engagement portion and the garnish engagement portion is greater than the adjustment width of the other. The gist of the invention is that a restriction portion for restricting the adjustment range of the meshing position is provided at both ends in the adjustment direction of the cable meshing portion or the garnish meshing portion which is set to be large and the adjustment width is set to be large.

  According to the configuration, the adjustment range of the meshing position of the cable meshing part and the garnish meshing part is limited by the restriction part, so that the misalignment of the garnish is excessively adjusted and the cable meshing part and the garnish are adjusted. It can be suppressed that the meshing force of the meshing portion becomes insufficient or the meshing is disengaged.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the sunshade device according to the third aspect of the present invention, either the cable meshing portion or the garnish meshing portion is in a direction intersecting the moving plane of the light shielding sheet at the meshing position. The gist of the present invention is to have a cross direction restricting portion that restricts the deviation of the distance.

  According to this configuration, since the urging member only needs to generate a urging force in the width direction of the garnish, it is arranged side by side in the width direction of the garnish together with the cable engagement portion and the garnish engagement portion. In addition, the sunshade device can be made thinner in the direction intersecting the moving plane of the light shielding sheet.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the roll sunshade adjusting mechanism according to the third aspect, one of the cable engagement portion and the garnish engagement portion is a vehicle in an engagement position of the cable engagement portion and the garnish engagement portion. The gist is to have a height restricting portion that restricts displacement in the height direction.

  According to the same configuration, the crossing direction restricting portion restricts the displacement of the meshing position in the direction intersecting the moving plane of the light shielding sheet, so that the displacement of the cable meshing portion and the garnish meshing portion is caused by the misalignment. It can be suppressed that the meshing force becomes insufficient or the meshing is disengaged.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the sunshade device according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, the cable meshing portion or the garnish meshing portion is movable in a guide groove formed in the guide rail. The gist is that it was stored.

  According to this configuration, the cable meshing portion and the garnish meshing portion are housed in the guide groove and are prevented from being exposed to the outside. Therefore, for example, the appearance from the vehicle interior side can be improved.

  Invention of Claim 6 has the roll member extended in the width direction of the said light shielding sheet in the sunshade apparatus as described in any one of Claims 1-5, The fixed edge part of the said light shielding sheet is The gist is that the roll sunshade device is configured by being connected to a roll member.

  According to this configuration, even in the roll sunshade device, the relative positional deviation between the both end portions of the garnish can be adjusted, so the width direction (axis) of the garnish can be adjusted in parallel with the winding shaft of the roll member. It becomes. Therefore, the light shielding sheet can be pulled out perpendicular to the winding shaft.

  In the present invention, it is possible to provide a sunshade device that is thin in the direction intersecting the moving plane of the light shielding sheet and that has smooth operability.

DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a vehicle roof 10 of an automobile or the like. As shown in the figure, the vehicle roof 10 is formed with a substantially rectangular roof opening 10a as a vehicle opening, and glass as a light-transmitting member that forms a light-transmitting area in the roof opening 10a. A roof panel 11 made of metal is installed.

  FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a vehicle roof 10. As shown in the figure, the vehicle roof 10 is provided with a pair of support brackets 12 and 13 extending in the vehicle front-rear direction at both side edges in the vehicle width direction of the roof opening 10a. A front bracket 14 that extends in the direction and bridges between the front end portions of the support brackets 12 and 13 is installed. A pair of pulleys 21 and 22 arranged in parallel in the diagonal direction of the roof opening 10a are rotatably connected to the front end of one support bracket 12, and a pulley 23 is connected to the rear end. It is connected rotatably. Similarly, a pair of pulleys 24 and 25 arranged in parallel to the diagonal direction of the roof opening 10a are rotatably connected to the front end portion of the other support bracket 13, and the pulley 26 is connected to the rear end portion. Are rotatably connected.

  An actuator 27 is attached to the center portion of the front bracket 14 in the longitudinal direction. The actuator 27 includes an electric motor 27a and a drum 27b that is drivingly connected to the rotation shaft of the electric motor 27a. A wire (rope) drive cable 28 is wound around the drum 27b so that one end of the drum 27b is wound and the other end is fed out. The drive cable 28 extends from the drum 27b along the front bracket 14 toward the support bracket 12 and is sequentially hooked on the pulleys 21 and 23. The drive cable 28 is reversed at the pulley 23 and hooked on the pulley 22. Further, the pulley 22 Extends to the support bracket 13 side along the front bracket 14 and is sequentially hooked on the pulleys 24 and 26. Then, the drive cable 28 is reversed at the pulley 26 and hung on the pulley 25, and returns to the drum 27 b along the front bracket 14. That is, the drive cable 28 is connected by one so that so-called one-stroke writing can be performed. In the drive cable 28, a range spanned between the pulleys 22 and 23 and a range spanned between the pulleys 25 and 26 are respectively represented as cable portions 28a and 28b for convenience. Both the cable portions 28a and 28b are opposed to each other in the vehicle width direction with the roof opening 10a interposed therebetween, and are parallel to each other.

  Here, when the actuator 27 is driven and the drive cable 28 is drawn out to the pulley 21 side and wound up from the pulley 25 side by the drum 27b, for example, both the cable portions 28a and 28b move forward in the vehicle ( (Indicated by solid arrows). On the other hand, when the drive cable 28 is wound up from the pulley 21 side by the drum 27b and is fed out to the pulley 25 side, the cable portions 28a and 28b move toward the rear of the vehicle (illustrated by broken arrows).

  At both rear ends of the support brackets 12 and 13, both ends of a take-up roller 31 having a take-up shaft O <b> 1 extending in the vehicle width direction (a direction orthogonal to both cable portions 28 a and 28 b) and extending in the vehicle width direction. The part is supported. The winding roller 31 is wound with a light-shielding sheet 32 that can be wound and fed out, and is constantly urged toward the winding side by the urging means incorporated therein. That is, an end portion (fixed end portion) serving as a fixed end of the light shielding sheet 32 is connected to the winding roller 31.

  An end portion that is a free end of the light shielding sheet 32 has a length equivalent to the winding roller 31 and is parallel to the winding roller 31 (winding shaft O1) in the vehicle width direction (of the light shielding sheet 32). A long garnish 33 extending in the width direction) is connected.

  Runners 35 are respectively attached to both ends in the longitudinal direction of the garnish 33, and shoes 36 engaged with the runners 35 facing the runners 35 in the vehicle width direction are attached to the cable portions 28a and 28b. Each is fixed. Accordingly, the shoes 36 are disposed to face each other in the vehicle width direction, and the positions in the vehicle front-rear direction are equal to each other. The runner 35 and the shoe 36 form a garnish engagement portion and a cable engagement portion, respectively.

  As described above, the longitudinal ends of the garnish 33 are connected to the cable portions 28a and 28b (drive cable 28) via the runner 35 and the shoe 36, and both the cable portions 28a and 28b in the above-described manner. When the movement in the vehicle longitudinal direction occurs, the garnish 33 moves in the vehicle longitudinal direction while maintaining a parallel state with the winding roller 31 (winding shaft O1). For example, when the garnish 33 moves forward of the vehicle, the light shielding sheet 32 connected to the end of the garnish 33 is fed out from the take-up roller 31 so as to move in a direction to block the roof panel 11. Alternatively, when the garnish 33 moves rearward of the vehicle, the light shielding sheet 32 is wound around the winding roller 31 so as to move in the direction of opening the roof panel 11.

  The support brackets 12 and 13 are provided with guide rails 15 made of, for example, an aluminum extrusion material (see FIG. 2). Both guide rails 15 have guide grooves 15a that open in a direction facing each other (vehicle width direction) and have a substantially U-shaped constant cross section, and the vehicle longitudinal direction along the cable portions 28a and 28b. Extend to. The shoe 36 fixed to the cable portions 28a and 28b is slidably supported on the guide rail 15 together with the runner 35 engaged with the shoe 36. At this time, the engaging portions of the runner 35 and the shoe 36 are movably accommodated in the guide groove 15a, and exposure to the outside is suppressed.

  Next, the engagement structure of the runner 35 and the shoe 36 will be further described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, the engagement structure of the runner 35 and the shoe 36 on both sides in the vehicle width direction is the same except that they are bilaterally symmetric. This will be explained as a representative. 2 and 3 are a perspective view and an exploded perspective view showing the engagement structure. 4A and 4B are a plan view and a front view showing the engagement structure, and FIG. 4C is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 4B. .

  As shown in FIG. 2, the garnish 33 has a long garnish main body 37 extending in the vehicle width direction, and a substantially rectangular fitting hole formed at the front end in the longitudinal direction of the garnish main body 37. It has the block-shaped holding member 38 which consists of a resin material inserted and fitted by 37a. The holding member 38 is formed with a substantially square guide hole 38a that is recessed inwardly in the vehicle width direction from the front end surface facing the drive cable 28 (shoe 36), and the vehicle in the vehicle width direction intermediate portion. A slit 38b penetrating in the front-rear direction is formed. The slit 38b communicates with the guide hole 38a at the middle part in the vehicle longitudinal direction (see FIG. 4C). In other words, the guide hole 38a is opened in the vehicle front-rear direction at the vehicle width direction intermediate portion by the slit 38b.

  The holding member 38 is formed with a rectangular cutout 38c that opens the guide hole 38a upward with an opening width smaller than the opening width. The notch 38c extends in the vehicle width direction and communicates with the outside. In addition, as FIG.4 (c) shows, the bottom part (opposite side of an opening part) of the guide hole 38a is shrunk, and forms the seat part 38d.

  The runner 35 is formed of, for example, a resin material, and is arranged on both sides in the vehicle front-rear direction from a block-shaped guide portion 41 inserted and fitted into the guide hole 38a and a tip protruding from the holding member 38 of the guide portion 41. It has the adjustment part 42 extended to, and exhibits a substantially T shape. The guide portion 41 is formed with a pair of extending pieces 41a that extend further inward in the vehicle width direction along the guide hole 38a from both sides in the vehicle front-rear direction at the front end inserted into the guide hole 38a. As shown in FIG. 3, locking claws 41 b that are cantilevered by the respective extending pieces 41 a and project in a claw shape outward in the vehicle front-rear direction are formed. Therefore, when the guide portion 41 is inserted into the guide hole 38a while elastically deforming both the locking claws 41b, the both locking claws 41b released from the guide holes 38a in the slits 38b are guided by the elastic return. More outward in the vehicle longitudinal direction. And the guide part 41 (runner 35) is prevented from coming off from the holding member 38 when both the locking claws 41b face the inner wall surface of the slit 38b on the outer side in the vehicle width direction. At this time, the guide part 41 (runner 35) is allowed to move in a predetermined range in the vehicle width direction.

  The guide portion 41 is formed with a guide pin 41c that protrudes in the vehicle width direction from the central portion of the tip inserted into the guide hole 38a. And the front-end | tip part of the coil spring 39 as a biasing member interposed between the said seat part 38d and the guide part 41 is inserted in this guide pin 41c. The coil spring 39 generates a biasing force on the side where the guide portion 41 (runner 35) is pushed outward in the vehicle width direction.

  The guide portion 41 is integrally formed with an operation portion 41d that protrudes upward in a pin shape and is inserted into the notch 38c. Therefore, the runner 35 moves integrally in the direction by moving the operation portion 41d inward in the vehicle width direction along the notch 38c against the urging force of the coil spring 39.

  The adjusting portion 42 includes a pair of side walls 42a and 42b as restricting portions arranged in parallel in the vehicle front-rear direction, an upper wall 42c as an intersecting direction restricting portion connecting the upper ends of the side walls 42a and 42b, and the side walls 42a, The lower wall 42d for connecting the lower ends of the door 42b is formed in a box shape that opens to the outside in the vehicle width direction, and the bottom wall (the wall facing the opening) has a predetermined interval in the vehicle front-rear direction. In this case, a rack gear-shaped meshing portion 42e is formed in which unevenness is repeated in the vehicle width direction. That is, the meshing portion 42e is surrounded by the side walls 42a, 42b, the upper wall 42c, and the lower wall 42d in such a manner as to be exposed to the outside in the vehicle width direction through the opening.

  The shoe 36 is made of, for example, a resin material and has a length in the vehicle front-rear direction that is shorter than the length between the side walls 42a and 42b, and a height equivalent to the height between the upper wall 42c and the lower wall 42d. The drive cable 28 is fixed to the drive cable 28 so as to penetrate therethrough. A rack gear-shaped meshing portion 36a that can be meshed with the meshing portion 42e is formed at the inner end in the vehicle width direction of the shoe 36 that faces the meshing portion 42e (runner 35) (FIG. 4C). )reference).

  For example, when the meshing state of the meshing portions 42e and 36a is released as the runner 35 moves inward in the vehicle width direction, the shoe 36 is within a range until it is regulated by the side walls 42a and 42b. Relative movement in the vehicle longitudinal direction with respect to is allowed. By this relative movement, the meshing positions of the meshing portions 42e and 36a can be adjusted in the vehicle front-rear direction (movement direction of the garnish 33) within a predetermined range. That is, the meshing portions 42e and 36a have an adjustment width that allows the meshing position to be adjusted in the moving direction of the garnish 33 within the range of the respective gear shapes. Accordingly, the adjustment width of the meshing portion 42e is set to be larger than the adjustment width of the meshing portion 36a. When the meshing position is adjusted, the operation portion 41d is used for an operation input for canceling the meshing state of the meshing portions 42e and 36a against the urging force of the coil spring 39. For example, the longitudinal end portions of the garnish 33 are displaced relative to each other in the moving direction of the garnish 33 due to, for example, manufacturing variation / assembly variation of the shoe 36 or the like and elongation due to deterioration of the drive cable 28. It is assumed that the garnish 33 is inclined with respect to the moving direction. Thus, when the parallelism of the garnish 33 (the parallelism in the longitudinal direction of the winding shaft O1 and the garnish 33) is impaired, the parallelism can be suitably maintained by adjusting the meshing position in the above-described manner. it can. Further, the meshing portions 42e and 36a hold their meshing positions by being urged (pressed) so that the runner 35 is urged and meshed by the coil spring 39 outward in the vehicle width direction.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described collectively.
When the actuator 27 is driven and the cable portions 28a and 28b move forward in the vehicle in the above-described manner, both ends (both holding portions) are connected to the shoe 36 fixed to the cable portions 28a and 28b via the runners 35. The garnish 33 to which the member 38) is connected moves together with the shoe 36 and the runner 35 to the front of the vehicle while sliding on the guide rail 15. The light shielding sheet 32 whose end is connected to the garnish 33 is fed out from the winding roller 31 with the movement of the garnish 33 to block the roof panel 11. On the other hand, when the rearward movement of the cables 28a and 28b occurs, the garnish 33 similarly moves rearward of the vehicle while sliding the shoe 36 and the runner 35 on the guide rail 15. The light shielding sheet 32 having an end connected to the garnish 33 is wound around the winding roller 31 with the movement of the garnish 33 to open the roof panel 11.

  Further, when the parallelism of the garnish 33 is impaired, the parallelism is improved by adjusting the meshing positions of the meshing portions 42e and 36a at at least one end (holding member 38) of the garnish 33. Is done.

As described above in detail, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) In the present embodiment, when the actuator 27 is actuated by driving the actuator 27, the drive cable is energized by the coil spring 39 so that the meshing portions 42e and 36a (runner 35 and shoe 36) mesh. The garnish 33 is moved together with the cable 28 (cable portions 28a, 28b), and the light shielding sheet 32 is moved in a direction for blocking or opening the roof panel 11. On the other hand, it is assumed that the drive cable 28 extends, for example, and a positional shift occurs in the moving direction of the garnish 33 between both end portions of the garnish 33 (between both runners 35). Since the meshing portions 42e and 36a have an adjustment width that allows the meshing position to be adjusted in the moving direction of the garnish 33, the meshing portions 42e and 36a are in meshed state against the urging force of the coil spring 39. By releasing and shifting their meshing positions in the moving direction of the garnish 33, it is possible to adjust the positional deviation between the both ends of the garnish 33 without performing a large disassembly operation. Therefore, even if the light shielding sheet 32 is inclined due to the influence of the inclination of the garnish 33, the inclination of the light shielding sheet 32 can be eliminated by adjusting the positional deviation. Therefore, the smooth operability of the sunshade device can be ensured. Further, since the positional deviation can be adjusted in this way, the positional accuracy at the time of assembling required for the shoe 36 facing the garnish 33 (runner 35) can be relaxed, and the assembling property is improved accordingly. can do. In particular, since the mechanism for adjusting the positional deviation is centrally disposed on the connecting portion (runner 35 and shoe 36) of the garnish 33 and the drive cable 28, a light-shielding sheet such as a conventional sunshade device can be used. Compared with the case where the adjusting mechanism is arranged in a direction intersecting the moving plane (vehicle height direction), the thickness can be reduced in the direction, and the head clearance can be increased accordingly. Alternatively, the degree of freedom in design can be increased as the head clearance restriction is relaxed.

  (2) In the present embodiment, the runner 35 (adjustment part 42) has side walls 42a that limit the adjustment range of the engagement position at both ends in the adjustment direction of the engagement positions of the engagement parts 42e and 36a (runner 35 and shoe 36). , 42b. Accordingly, the adjustment range of the meshing position of the meshing portions 42e and 36a is limited by the side walls 42a and 42b, so that the positional deviation of the garnish 33 is excessively adjusted and the meshing force of the meshing portions 42e and 36a is inadequate. It is possible to prevent the engagement or disengagement from becoming sufficient.

  (3) In the present embodiment, the meshing portions 42 e and 36 a mesh with each other in the width direction of the garnish 33. Accordingly, since the coil spring 39 only needs to generate a biasing force in the width direction of the garnish 33, the coil spring 39 can be arranged side by side in the width direction of the garnish 33 together with the meshing portions 42e and 36a. The thickness can be reduced in the vehicle height direction (direction intersecting the moving plane of the light shielding sheet 32). The coil spring 39 has a function of adjusting / holding the meshing positions of the meshing portions 42e and 36a, and the back of the connecting portion (runner 35 and shoe 36) of the garnish 33 and the drive cable 28. By having a function for absorbing, the increase in the number of parts can be suppressed.

  (4) In this embodiment, the runner 35 (adjustment part 42) is the vehicle height direction (direction intersecting the moving plane of the light shielding sheet 32) of the meshing positions of the meshing parts 42e, 36a (runner 35 and shoe 36). ) Has an upper wall 42c and a lower wall 42d for restricting the shift to. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the meshing force of the meshing portions 42e and 36a from becoming insufficient or from being disengaged due to the displacement of the meshing positions of the meshing portions 42e and 36a in the vehicle height direction. And the reliability of meshing of the meshing portions 42e and 36a can be improved.

  (5) In the present embodiment, the engaging portions (meshing portions 42e and 36a) of the runner 35 and the shoe 36 are movably accommodated in the guide groove 15a formed in the guide rail 15 to suppress exposure to the outside. Therefore, for example, the appearance from the vehicle interior side can be improved.

  (6) In the present embodiment, the engagement state of the engagement portions 42e and 36a can be easily released against the urging force of the coil spring 39 by an operation input through the operation portion 41d.

  (7) In this embodiment, the parallelism of the garnish 33 can be adjusted with a very simple structure by the meshing portions 42e and 36a provided in the connecting portion (runner 35 and shoe 36) of the garnish 33 and the drive cable 28. The increase in the number of points can be suppressed and the cost can be reduced.

  (8) In this embodiment, since the relative positional deviation of the both ends of the garnish 33 can be adjusted, the width direction (axis) of the garnish 33 can be adjusted in parallel with the winding shaft of the winding roller 31. . Therefore, the light shielding sheet 32 can be pulled out perpendicular to the winding shaft.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
In the embodiment, a plurality of light shielding sheets 32 may be arranged in parallel in the longitudinal direction of the garnish 33 (and the winding roller 31).

In the above embodiment, the drive cable 28 may be constituted by a belt (for example, a timing belt) or a chain.
In the above embodiment, the engagement portion 36a may be provided directly on the drive cable.

  In the above embodiment, the upper wall 42c and the lower wall 42d provided on the runner 35 regulate the displacement of the meshing positions 42e, 36a in the vehicle height direction, but for example, the upper wall 42c and the lower wall 42d Instead, the shift in the vehicle height direction of the meshing positions of the meshing portions 42e and 36a may be regulated by a similar crossing direction regulating portion provided on the shoe 36.

  In the embodiment, the adjustment range of the meshing position of the meshing portions 42e and 36a is limited by the side walls 42a and 42b provided on the runner 35. However, the vehicle is longer than the runner 35 instead of the side walls 42a and 42b. The adjustment range of the meshing positions of the meshing portions 42e and 36a may be limited by a similar restricting portion provided on the shoe 36 having a length in the front-rear direction.

  In the above embodiment, the runner 35 (adjusting portion 42) is formed with a rack gear-like meshing portion 42e that repeats unevenness in the vehicle width direction at a predetermined interval in the vehicle front-rear direction, and the shoe 36 is connected to the meshing portion 42e.
