Abstract

A roller blind curtain device for a car may include a roller blind provided between a door-side door trim and an inner panel of the car, and having a wrapping roll winding and wrapping a curtain fabric that may be drawn out to a top in a longitudinal direction of a window to block sunlight that comes in through the window, a curtain holding device positioned adjacent to the wrapping roll of the roller blind and holding the curtain fabric drawn out from the wrapping roll along the window to stop at a predetermined position, and a support frame positioned at an outlet side of the roller blind, having a first end connected to a draw-out bar formed at an end of the curtain fabric, and extended as long as a length of the curtain fabric drawn out from the roller blind to support the curtain fabric.

Claims

1. A roller blind curtain device for a car, comprising:

a roller blind provided between a door-side door trim and an inner panel of the car, and having a wrapping roll winding and wrapping a curtain fabric that is drawn out to a top in a longitudinal direction of a window to block sunlight that comes in through the window;

a curtain holding device positioned adjacent to the wrapping roll of the roller blind and holding the curtain fabric drawn out from the wrapping roll along the window to stop at a predetermined position; and

a support frame positioned at an outlet side of the roller blind, having a first end connected to a draw-out bar formed at an end of the curtain fabric, and extended as long as a length of the curtain fabric drawn out from the roller blind to support the curtain fabric.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the roller blind includes:

a curtain frame accommodating the wrapping roll and having a curtain outlet through which the curtain fabric is drawn out at a side thereof;

a wrapping spring provided inside the wrapping roll to elastically operate so as for the curtain fabric to continuously pivot to be wound on the wrapping roll;

the curtain fabric wound on the wrapping roll and drawn out through the curtain outlet of the roller blind to block sunlight which comes in the door-side window of the car; and

the draw-out bar formed at the end of the curtain fabric to allow the curtain fabric to be stretched to correspond to the window.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein the curtain holding device includes:

a stop rod extended horizontally inside the curtain frame;

a holding roller provided at an end of the stop rod, reciprocating along a long-hole formed in the stop rod, and catching and holding one surface of the curtain fabric;

a spring wound on the stop rod to elastically operate so as for the holding roller to continuously keep the curtain fabric in a holding state; and

a wire releasing a holding operation of the holding roller by a pivoting operation of the curtain knob provided in the draw-out bar.

4. The device of claim 3, wherein the wire penetrates in a longitudinal direction of the support frame, in which a first end of the wire is connected to the curtain knob and a second end is connected to the holding roller and as the curtain knob pivots vertically, the holding operation is released by transferring the holding roller in a longitudinal direction of the stop rod by a pulling operation of the wire to easily draw out the curtain fabric.

5. The device of claim 1, wherein the support frame has a bar shape in which a plurality of rods are drawn out in a telescope scheme to extend along the draw-out bar in response to a draw-out length of the curtain fabric.
