To provide a grille shutter device for a vehicle, which can provide improved appearance of fins curved to conform to a curved shape of a grill in a state where the opening of the grill is opened.SOLUTION: A grille shutter device for a vehicle is arranged curved at a front portion of a vehicle body. The grille shutter device includes a grill provided with openings extending through in a front to back direction, a shutter with plural fins arranged side by side in a vehicle width direction to open and close the openings and formed curved to conform to the curved shape of the grill, and a drive source configured to drive the shutter such that the openings are opened and closed by the fins. Each of the fins includes a body plate formed to conform to the shape of a corresponding portion of each of the openings, and a support shaft fixed to the body plate, extending linearly between opposite ends of the corresponding portion of the opening in the vehicle width direction, and supported to be rotatable to the grill by driving of the drive source. In addition, the support shafts of the two fins arranged side by side with each other in the vehicle width direction are connected via an adjustable joint.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8

    【課題】グリルの湾曲形状に合わせて湾曲したフィンの、グリル開口部の開放状態での見栄えを向上させることが可能な車両用グリルシャッタ装置を提供する。【解決手段】車両用グリルシャッタ装置は、車体前部に湾曲した状態で配置され、前後方向に貫通する開口部が設けられたグリルと、開口部を開閉させるフィンが車幅方向に並んで複数設けられ、各フィンがグリルの湾曲形状に合わせて湾曲して形成されたシャッタと、開口部がフィンにより開閉されるようにシャッタを駆動する駆動源と、を備える。フィンはそれぞれ、開口部の対応部位の形状に合致する形状に形成された本体板部と、本体板部に固定され、開口部の対応部位の車幅方向の両端部間を直線状に繋ぐ方向に延び、グリルに対して駆動源の駆動によって回転できるように支持された支持軸と、を有する。そして、互いに車幅方向に隣接する2つのフィンの支持軸同士は、自在継手を介して連結されている。【選択図】図8
