Abstract

A side visor with a ventilation function for a car, comprising: a side visor body (10) having an upper portion attached to a car body (1) and having a lower portion incurved toward a window glass (6) and provided with an airflow hole (12), when the side visor body (10) is seen in cross-sectional view; a filter casing (15) including a filter (21) and having airflow holes (15a, 15b), the filter casing (15) being attached to the lower portion and moored to the side visor body (10) through a strap (16); and a rubber packing (22) extending on a side of the filter casing (15) facing the window glass (6) so that the rubber packing (22) abuts against the window glass (6); whereby when the window glass (6) is moved down, ventilation between inside and outside of the car is ensured through the first and second airflow holes (12, 15a, 15b) and the filter (21), while dust, insects, etc. outside the car are prevented from intruding into the car.
