Abstract
The present invention provides a roll-up shade apparatus for a vehicle with enhanced assemblability. This roll-up shade apparatus includes a shade that opens and closes an internal opened part of a roof; a retractor that rolls up the shade from a base-end thereof; second wire drums disposed in coaxial with the retractor, a wire being wound around each of the second wire drums that winds up or feeds the wire together with an opening/closing of the shade; elastic members that engage the retractor with the second wire drums. The retractor includes a pipe retractor and cap retractors in a cylindrical shape each having a bottom, which are fit inside the pipe retractor, and each of the elastic members is installed inside the cap retractor in such a manner that one end of the elastic member is engaged with one of the second wire drums and the other end of the elastic member is engaged with the bottom of the cap retractor, and each of the cap retractors locked to each opening end portion of the pipe retractor so as to rotate together with the pipe retractor.
