Patent ID: 8579011

Claim:
A sunshade device configured to shield a window, comprising: a windup device; a screen attached to said windup device so as to be drawn therefrom and housed therein; a stay attached to a drawing-side edge of said screen and including a main body and a pair of connecting end portions attached to both end portions of said main body; and a pair of arms each including a distal end portion connected to each of said pair of connecting end portions of said stay so as to rotate relative thereto and a proximal end portion supported by said windup device so as to rotate relative thereto about a rotation shaft, said pair of arms being configured to change a position between a folded position in which said screen is housed and an extended position in which said screen is drawn through the rotary movement about said rotation shaft, wherein: said pair of arms each including: a pivot base including a one-end-side portion extending toward a vertical frame side of said window from said rotation shaft in said extended position and the other-end-side portion being bent from a distal end portion of said one-end-side portion and extending along the vertical frame of said window; and an arm portion connected to a distal end portion of said other-end-side portion of said pivot base so as to rotate relative thereto and extending along the vertical frame of said window in said extended position; and said pair of connecting end portions of said stay are each configured so as to extend and retract along a drawing-housing direction of said screen and biased in an extending direction along the drawing-housing direction of said screen, and wherein said connecting end portion includes: a fixed portion fixed to each end portion of said main body; and an advancing-retracting portion to which said arm portion is connected so as to rotate relative thereto, said advancing-retracting portion being configured to move relatively close to or apart from said fixed portion along the drawing-housing direction of said screen; and said fixed portion and said advancing-retracting portion are biased in such a direction as to become apart from each other by a biasing member.
