Abstract

A sunshade device for a vehicle includes: a plurality of sunshade panels mounted in an inner opening of a vehicular roof along a longitudinal direction of the vehicle and arranged in line in a closed state of the sunshade panels; a pair of front and rear sliders each provided at both side portions of each sunshade panel; a pair of guide rails for guiding a liner sliding movement of the front and rear sliders; a drive source connected to a forefront sunshade panel; and a connecting mechanism for detachably connecting adjacent sunshade panels such that each of the sunshade panels is cooperatively opened and closed. Upon opening the sunshade panels, a rear-side sunshade panel is lifted up so that a front-side sunshade panel positioned in front of this rear-side sunshade panel moves under and is superposed below the rear-side sunshade panel.
