Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a lower peripheral edge structure of a vehicle roof side portion. This invention is particularly suitable for side-doorless vehicles such as tractors.

<Prior art> An example of the conventional lower peripheral structure of the roof side part of a vehicle (a tractor roof body) is shown in Fig. 3 (Fig. 4 A-A).
Line sectional view).

As shown in FIG. 4, a tractor roof body R is taken as an example, which is made of reinforced plastic and is integrally molded including a side rail portion 1.

A trim 11 is held by its U-shaped holding part 13 over the entire length of the lower peripheral edge 1a of the roof side part 1,
That is, it is attached from the front end R1 to the rear end R2 of the roof body. Specifically, the trim 11 includes a pair of clamping lips 15, 15 extending inward from both free ends of the U-shaped clamping part 13, and is usually formed by extrusion using a plastic molding material such as soft polyvinyl chloride. Shape.

In addition, in the illustrated example, in order to prevent the bare wall surface of the roof body R from being exposed on the inside of the vehicle of the roof side portion 1,
A sloped hidden plate 5 holding the roof pad 3 is riveted. To prevent the trim 11 from falling off, retaining plates 6 are riveted to the inclined hidden plate 5 at predetermined intervals.

In addition, a sun visor 7 is attached to the vehicle exterior side of the roof side portion 1 along the free end of the U-shaped holding portion 13 of the trim 11 by mechanical means, in the illustrated example, a plurality of clips 8, . . . There is.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> However, in the case of the lower peripheral edge structure of the roof side part 1 having the above configuration, when it rains, the contact surface between the mounting part 7a of the sun visor 7 and the roof side part 1 as shown by the arrow. Raindrops that entered the sun visor back surface 7b fell near the driver's seat and dripped onto the driver's seat.

An object of the present invention is to provide a lower peripheral edge structure of a vehicle roof side portion that can solve the above-mentioned problems.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The lower peripheral edge structure of the vehicle roof side portion of the present invention solves the above problems with the following configuration.

The trim is located on the lower edge of the vehicle roof side.
A sun visor is mounted on the vehicle exterior side of the roof side portion by mechanical means along the free end of the U-shaped portion of the trim. The peripheral edge structure is characterized in that a lip-shaped gutter portion with a free end facing the back surface of the sun visor is formed on the vehicle outer side of the U-shaped holding portion of the trim.

<Examples> The present invention will be described below based on examples. Note that the same parts as in the conventional example are given the same reference numerals, and the explanation thereof will be omitted in whole or in part.

FIG. 1 shows an example of the present invention. The conventional example explained based on FIG. 3 above is a structure in which a lip-shaped gutter part 17 is formed on the vehicle outer side of the U-shaped holding part 13 of the trim 11A, with the free end 17a facing the sun visor back surface 7b. are different. Other configurations are the same.

This lip-shaped gutter portion 17 is formed by extrusion simultaneously with the U-shaped holding portion 13 of the trim 11A. Therefore, the lip-shaped gutter portion 17 is also formed over the entire length of the U-shaped holding portion 13, that is, from the front end R1 to the rear end R2 of the roof body. (See Figure 4). Note that the lip-shaped gutter portion 17 does not necessarily have to extend over the entire length, and may be partially formed by cutting out both ends or by injection, etc., depending on design requirements.

Further, the height of the lip-shaped gutter section 17 may be such that there is a gap between it and the sun visor back surface 7b as shown in FIG.
It is also possible to make contact with the back surface 7b of the sun visor as shown in FIG. In the former case, it is desirable to form rainwater guide ribs 7c (two-dot chain line) on the back surface 7b of the sun visor along the free end 17a of the lip-shaped gutter portion 17. Furthermore, from the standpoint of design, it is desirable that the outer surfaces of the lip-shaped gutter portions 17, 17A, as well as the outer surfaces of the U-shaped clamping portions, be subjected to decorative treatments such as painting, embossing, and flocking.

<Operations and effects of the invention> The lower peripheral structure of the vehicle roof side portion of the invention is as follows:
A trim is attached to the lower circumferential edge of the vehicle roof side portion over its entire length, sandwiched between its U-shaped portions, and a sun visor is provided on the vehicle exterior side of the roof side portion along the free end of the U-shaped portion of the trim. In the lower peripheral structure of the vehicle roof side part which is attached by mechanical means, a lip-shaped gutter part with a free end facing the back surface of the sun visor is formed on the outside of the vehicle of the U-shaped holding part of the trim. So,
It has the following effects.

When it rains, rainwater enters between the mounting part of the sun visor 7 and the contact surface of the roof side part 1, as shown by the arrow in Figure 1, but
Raindrops that fall from the area near the driver's seat through the raindrops are caught by the gutter section 17 (or 17A), are guided to the front end R1 or the rear end R2 of the roof body, fall at that location, and fall onto the driver's seat. Never.

Further, due to the existence of the lip-shaped gutter portion 17A, the joint portion between the roof side portion 1 and the sun visor 7 is not exposed, and the design is improved.
