Door pockets and the like to be installed are well known, but in recent years, a roof console device for a vehicle in which an equipment storage mechanism is set in a ceiling (roof lining) which is an upper space between a driver's seat and an auxiliary seat is often used. ing. FIG. 7 is a configuration diagram showing such a conventional vehicle roof console device. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the storage recess 72 side of the holder member 70 shown in FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a state in which the vehicle roof console device shown in FIG. 7 is mounted inside the vehicle. FIG. 10 shows the ceiling 1 shown in FIG.
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a state in which a roof console device for a vehicle is mounted on the vehicle. FIG. 11 is a sectional view showing a section taken along line AA shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 7, a conventional vehicle roof console device is mounted on a ceiling 1 (see FIG. 9) in a vehicle, and a metal bracket 60 previously fixed to the back of the ceiling 1 is provided. A case member 50 which is screwed to the metal bracket 60 and clamps and fixes the ceiling part 1 between the metal bracket 60 and the housing member 50, and a storage recess 72 attached to the case member 50 and provided with an equipment storage mechanism is formed. The vehicle includes a holder member 70 and a room lamp 80 that illuminates the inside of the vehicle.

Here, as shown in FIG. 8, the holder member 70 has a hollow storage recess 72 capable of storing accessories (small articles) such as sunglasses, and is turned around by the case member 50 shown in FIG. The storage recess 7 is opened and closed by movably pivoting.
2 is formed so as to protrude and disappear. Although not shown, the case member 50 includes an elastic body that urges the holder member 70 in the opening direction, and the case member 50 is pressed and rotated to restrain or retract the storage recess 72 in the closed position. A latch portion for releasing the restraint by pressing

At this time, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the case member 10 is inserted into the mounting opening 1a of the ceiling 1 with the plate member 20 turned upright by 90 °, and the engagement recess 1 formed on the rear end side is formed.
1a is inserted so as to be sandwiched by one side of the mounting opening 1a. After attaching the case member 10 to the ceiling part 1, FIG.
As shown in (b), the plate member 20 is rotated so as to be tilted horizontally. At this time, the plate member 20 closes the hole 11b (see FIG. 1) of the storage portion 11, and the rotating free end side comes into contact with the claw portion 12a formed on the fixed portion 12. Then, the plate member 20 is provided with the claws 12a.
Is further rotated while urging the case member 10, as shown in FIG.
At the same time, the ceiling portion 1 is sandwiched to suppress flapping and is securely fixed. In the vehicle roof console device, the room lamp 40 is mounted on the case member 10 mounted on the ceiling 1, and then the ceiling 1 is mounted in the vehicle, so that the driver seat and the auxiliary seat shown in FIG. And above.

As described above, this embodiment can be easily mounted by fitting the engagement recess 32 of the case member 10 into one end of the mounting opening 1a and sandwiching the other end by the plate member 20. Here, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, since the holder member 30 is closed, as shown in FIG. Preferably, it is provided so as to open about 101 °. Further, in the present embodiment, even after being attached to the ceiling portion 1, as shown in FIG. 6, the nail portion 12a is urged toward the inside of the fixing portion 12 by a tool 2 such as a flat-blade screwdriver having a sharp tip. Can be easily removed from the ceiling 1. Therefore, in the present embodiment, as compared with the conventional technique shown in FIG. 7, attachment and detachment become easier, and the number of steps for assembling can be further reduced.

Although the embodiment of the roof console device for a vehicle according to the present invention has been described in detail, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be modified without departing from the gist thereof. is there. For example, although the embodiment in which one room lamp and one holder member are provided in the case member has been described, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of room lamps and holder members may be provided in the case member.

[0019]

As described above, according to the roof console device for a vehicle according to the present invention, since the ceiling portion in the vehicle can be easily mounted by being sandwiched between the case member and the plate member, the number of assembly (fixation) steps in the manufacturing process is increased. And the cost of parts can be reduced by forming the case member and the plate member from a resin material. Further, according to the roof console device for a vehicle according to the present invention, since the mounting of the parts is facilitated by forming the hole in the storage portion of the case member for storing the holder member, the assembling efficiency of small parts (Assy property). Is improved.
