  In the roof rail of Patent Document 1, not only the parting line (boundary line) is formed along the boundary part between the main body part and the terminal piece, but the parting line is formed along the boundary part between the main body part and the molding. . Therefore, the appearance of the roof rail is impaired. Moreover, in the roof rail of patent document 2, the cutting process for forming an opening part in an upper wall part is required, and a great man-hour takes. A parting line is formed along the boundary between the cap and the main body. Therefore, the appearance of the roof rail is impaired. Moreover, generally a main-body part is comprised with a metal material. On the other hand, the molding and the cap are made of synthetic rubber or synthetic resin. Therefore, the texture of the main body is different from the texture of the molding or cap. In this way, since the roof rail is formed by combining parts having different textures, the overall sense of unity is impaired with respect to the appearance performance of the roof rail.

  The present invention has been made to address the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a roof rail that can reduce the number of manufacturing steps and improve the appearance performance. In addition, in the description of each constituent element of the present invention below, in order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, reference numerals of corresponding portions of the embodiment are described in parentheses, but each constituent element of the present invention is The present invention should not be construed as being limited to the configurations of the corresponding portions indicated by the reference numerals of the embodiments.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized by a lower wall portion (C2) extending in the vehicle front-rear direction along the upper surface of the roof (R) of the vehicle, and a vehicle above the lower wall portion. A cylindrical body portion (11) having an upper wall portion (C1) extending in the front-rear direction and having at least one end portion in the vehicle front-rear direction of the vehicle front-rear direction end portions opened. A through hole (H1F (H1R)) is formed at an end portion of the one end portion side of the upper portion, and the end portion on the one end portion side of the upper wall portion is on the other end side in the vehicle front-rear direction of the lower wall portion than the through hole. And a cover member (12F (12F (12F (1))) which is assembled to the upper surface of the roof of the vehicle by the fastening member (SC1) inserted into the through-hole and the one end of the main body. 12R)).

  In this case, the cover member may be assembled to one end of the main body via a connecting member (14) inserted into one end of the main body.

  In the above-described roof rail, one end portion (for example, the front end portion) of the upper wall portion of the main body portion is formed so as to be positioned on the other end portion side than the one end portion of the lower wall portion. That is, in a state where the main body is assembled on the roof top surface, one end of the main body is open upward. Therefore, the fastening operation of inserting the fastening member into the through hole formed in the end portion on the one end portion side of the lower wall portion and fastening the main body portion to the roof upper surface can be performed from the roof upper surface side. According to this, since it is not necessary to form an opening part like the roof rail of the said patent document 2 in a main-body part, a manufacturing man-hour can be reduced.

  Moreover, the one end part of a main-body part is block | closed by attaching a cover member to the one end part of a main-body part. Therefore, a molding or cap like the conventional roof rail is not necessary. Moreover, since the parting line formed in the roof rail according to the present invention is only the parting line formed at the boundary between the main body and the cover member, the appearance quality can be improved. Further, if the main body and the cover member are made of the same material, the overall sense of unity can be improved with respect to the appearance performance of the roof rail.

  Another feature of the present invention is that the end face of one end of the main body is formed in a flat shape. According to the present invention, since the end face shape of one end of the main body is simple, the main body can be easily manufactured. For example, if a cylindrical member is formed by an extrusion molding method and the end of the cylindrical member is cut with a cutting device (for example, a circular saw) so as to be inclined with respect to the axial direction of the cylindrical member. Good.

  Another feature of the present invention is that the end surface of one end of the main body is formed to be inclined with respect to the axial direction of the main body, and the end surface of the end of the cover member facing the one end of the main body is The end surface of one end of the main body and the end surface of the end of the cover member are in contact with each other with the cover member assembled to the main body. There is in being. According to this, by forming a cylindrical member as a base material of the main body and the cover member, by cutting the end of the cylindrical member with a cutting device so as to be inclined with respect to the axial direction, A method of manufacturing the main body and the cover member can be employed. In this case, the cut surface of the cylindrical member corresponds to the end surface of one end of the main body and the end surface of the end of the cover member. Therefore, when the cover member is assembled to the main body, the end surface of one end of the main body and the end surface of the end of the cover member abut. As described above, according to the present invention, two types of parts can be easily formed from one base material.

  Another feature of the present invention is that the connecting member and the cover member are integrally formed. According to this, compared with the case where the connection member and the cover member are formed as separate bodies, the number of parts can be reduced.

  A roof rail 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. First, the configuration of the vehicle roof R to which the roof rail 10 is assembled will be described. The roof R is formed by joining a main panel R1 and a side panel R2 each formed in a plate shape (see FIGS. 1 and 4B). Since the roof R is formed symmetrically about the center in the vehicle width direction, in the following description, only the right side portion of the roof R will be described, and description of the left side portion will be omitted. The main panel R1 is formed so as to cover the center of the vehicle compartment in the vehicle width direction. The side panel R2 is formed so as to cover the right end portion of the passenger compartment. A stepped step R11 is formed at the right end of the main panel R1 in the vehicle width direction. A flange portion R12 is formed at the lower end of the step portion R11. The step portion R11 and the flange portion R12 are extended in the vehicle front-rear direction. The step portion R11 and the flange portion R12 are formed by bending the right end portion of the main panel R1 downward. A step portion R21 and a flange portion R22 similar to the step portion R11 and the flange portion R12 are formed at the left end portion of the side panel R2. By welding in a state where the flange portion R12 and the flange portion R22 are overlapped with each other, a groove portion D extending in the vehicle front-rear direction and opened upward is formed on the upper surface of the roof R. The roof rail 10 is put on the groove D.

  The roof rail 10 includes a main body portion 11 extending in the vehicle front-rear direction and cover members 12F and 12R assembled to the front end and the rear end of the main body portion 11 (see FIGS. 1, 2A, and 2B). The main body 11 and the cover members 12F and 12R are formed as follows. First, a long cylindrical member C as shown in FIG. 3A is formed by extruding a metal material (for example, an aluminum material). The cylindrical member C has an upper wall portion C1 and a lower wall portion C2 that are formed in parallel. The right end portion in the vehicle width direction of the upper wall portion C1 is curved so as to be slightly lower than the central portion in the vehicle width direction and the left end portion in the vehicle width direction. The right end portion and the left end portion of the upper wall portion C1 and the lower wall portion C2 are connected by a side wall portion C3 and a side wall portion C4, respectively. The lower end portion of the side wall portion C3 is curved so as to enter the inside (side wall portion C4 side). Thus, a groove C31 extending in the vehicle front-rear direction is formed at the lower end of the side wall C3 (see FIG. 4B). Further, rail portions C5 and C6 extending in the vehicle front-rear direction are formed on the lower surfaces of the right end portion and the left end portion of the lower wall portion C2, respectively. In the rail part C5 and the rail part C6, a groove part C51 and a groove part C61 extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction are formed, respectively. The cross-sectional shape of the cylindrical member C is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may be any shape such as a triangle or a circle.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, the lower wall has a curve at the vehicle front-rear direction intermediate portion on the upper surface of the roof R (the curvature of the vehicle front-rear direction intermediate portion on the upper surface of the roof R when the roof R is viewed from the side). Bending the longitudinal intermediate portion of the cylindrical member C so that the curve of the lower surface of the portion C2 matches, and bending so that the curvature of the front end portion and the rear end portion of the cylindrical member C is larger than that of the intermediate portion. Process. Next, as shown in FIG. 3C, lower portions of the front end portion and the rear end portion (see FIG. 3) so that the lower surfaces of the front end portion and the rear end portion of the cylindrical member C match the curve of the upper surface of the roof R of the cylindrical member C. 3C, and a boundary portion between the front end portion and the intermediate portion of the cylindrical member C, and a boundary portion between the rear end portion and the intermediate portion of the cylindrical member C (the one-dot chain line in FIG. 3C). The cylindrical member C is cut along a portion indicated by. When the cylindrical member C is cut along the boundary between the front end portion and the intermediate portion of the cylindrical member C, the front end of the upper wall portion C1 of the intermediate portion is located behind the front end of the lower wall portion C2. Thus, it cut | disconnects diagonally with respect to the axial direction of the cylindrical member C. FIG. On the other hand, when the cylindrical member C is cut along the boundary between the rear end portion and the intermediate portion of the cylindrical member C, the rear end of the upper wall portion C1 of the intermediate portion is the lower wall portion C2 as in the front end side. Cut obliquely with respect to the axial direction of the cylindrical member C so as to be positioned in front of the rear end. Accordingly, the front end surface and the rear end surface of the intermediate portion (11) of the cylindrical member C, the rear end surface of the front end portion (12F) of the cylindrical member C, and the front end surface of the rear end portion (12R) of the cylindrical member C are The cylindrical member C is formed in a plane inclined with respect to the axial direction.

  Moreover, as shown to FIG. 3D, as shown to FIG. 3D, from the upper surface (inner wall surface of the cylindrical member C) to the front-end part and rear-end part in the lower wall part C2 of the intermediate part (11) of the cylindrical member C. Through holes H1F and H1R penetrating to the lower surface (the outer wall surface of the cylindrical member C) are formed. The through hole H1F is located in front of the front end of the upper wall portion C1 of the intermediate portion. In other words, the front end of the upper wall portion C1 is located behind the through hole H1F. On the other hand, the through hole H1R is located behind the rear end of the upper wall portion C1 of the intermediate portion. In other words, the rear end of the upper wall portion C1 is located in front of the through hole H1R. Further, as shown in FIG. 3E, the front and rear end portions of the intermediate side wall C4 are provided from the right side (inner wall surface of the cylindrical member C) to the left side (outer wall surface of the cylindrical member C). Through-holes H2F and H2R penetrating to are respectively formed.

  The rear end portion of the lower wall portion C2 of the front end portion (12F) of the cylindrical member C and the front end portion of the lower wall portion C2 of the rear end portion (12R) of the cylindrical member C penetrate from the upper surface to the lower surface. Through holes H3 are formed. As described above, the main body 11 and the cover members 12F and 12R are formed. That is, the front end portion and the rear end portion of the cylindrical member C correspond to the cover members 12F and 12R, and the intermediate portion of the cylindrical member C corresponds to the main body portion 11. As will be described in detail later, when the cover members 12F and 12R are assembled to the main body 11, the rear end surface of the cover member 12F faces the front end surface of the main body 11, and the front end surface of the cover member 12R is the cover member.

Then, the screw SC1 is inserted into the through hole H1F (H1R) and the spacer SP, and the tip of the screw SC1 is screwed into the nut NT welded in advance to the lower surface of the groove D. As described above, the main body portion 11 is assembled to the upper surface of the roof R (the upper portion of the groove portion D). In a state where the main body portion 11 is assembled to the upper surface of the roof R, the lip member 13 is in contact with the upper portion of the groove portion D, and foreign matter is prevented from entering the groove portion D.

  The cover members 12F and 12R are assembled to the main body 11 assembled on the upper surface of the roof R (see FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 5). The procedure for assembling the cover member 12R to the rear end portion of the main body portion 11 is the same as the procedure for assembling the cover member 12F to the front end portion of the main body portion 11. Therefore, the procedure for assembling the cover member 12F to the front end of the main body 11 will be described below, and the description of the procedure for assembling the cover member 12R to the rear end of the main body 11 will be omitted.

  The cover member 12 </ b> F is assembled to the main body 11 via the connecting member 14. That is, the cover member 12 </ b> F and the main body portion 11 are connected by the connecting member 14 inserted into the rear end portion of the cover member 12 </ b> F and the front end portion of the main body portion 11. The connecting member 14 is made of a metal material (for example, aluminum material) or a synthetic resin material, and is formed in a column shape extending in the vehicle front-rear direction. A screw hole SH1 into which a screw SC2 for fastening the connecting member 14 and the cover member 12F is screwed is formed in the lower surface portion of the front end portion of the connecting member 14 (see FIG. 5). In addition, a screw hole SH2 (see FIGS. 2A and 2B) into which a screw for fastening the connection member 14 and the main body 11 is screwed is formed on the left side surface portion of the connection member 14. A groove 141 extending in the vehicle front-rear direction is formed on the lower surface of the connecting member 14. The groove 141 is formed from the rear end of the connecting member 14 to the vicinity of the center in the vehicle front-rear direction.

  First, the front end portion of the connecting member 14 is inserted into the rear end portion of the cover member 12F. The screw SC2 is inserted into the through hole H3 from below, and the tip of the screw SC2 is screwed into the screw hole SH1. Thereby, the connecting member 14 is assembled to the rear end portion of the cover member 12. In a state where the connecting member 14 is assembled to the cover member 12, the rear end portion of the connecting member 14 projects rearward from the rear end of the cover member 12.

  Next, the cover member 12 </ b> F assembled with the connecting member 14 is brought close to the front end of the main body 11 from the front, and the rear end of the connecting member 14 is inserted into the front end of the main body 11. In a state where the rear end portion of the connecting member 14 is inserted into the front end portion of the main body portion 11, the head portion of the screw SC <b> 1 is accommodated in the groove portion 141. Then, a screw (not shown) is inserted into the through hole H2F of the main body 11 from the left, and the tip of this screw is screwed into the screw hole SH2. As described above, the cover member 12 </ b> F is assembled to the front end portion of the main body 11. In a state where the cover member 12 </ b> F is assembled to the front end portion of the main body portion 11, the rear end surface of the cover member 12 </ b> F is in contact with the front end surface of the main body portion 11. In a state where the cover member 12 </ b> R is assembled to the rear end portion of the main body portion 11, the front end surface of the cover member 12 </ b> R is in contact with the rear end surface of the main body portion 11.

  According to the roof rail 10 configured as described above, the intermediate portion, the front end portion, and the rear end portion of the cylindrical member C formed using the extrusion molding method are respectively bent, and the front end portion and the rear end portion are formed. The lower portion of the main body 11 and the cover member 12F are cut by cutting the cylindrical member C along the boundary portion between the front end portion and the intermediate portion and the boundary portion between the rear end portion and the intermediate portion. , 12R are formed. That is, two types of parts (main body part and cover member) are formed from one base material (tubular member C). In the cutting step, the cylindrical member C is cut so that the front end of the upper wall portion C1 of the main body portion 11 is located behind the front end of the lower wall portion C2, and the rear end of the upper wall portion C1 of the main body portion 11 is cut. The cylindrical member C is cut so that is positioned in front of the rear end of the lower wall portion C2. That is, the front end portion and the rear end portion of the main body 11 are open upward. Therefore, the screw SC1 can be inserted into the through holes H1F and H1R formed in the front end portion and the rear end portion of the lower wall portion C2 from above and screwed into the nut NT. That is, since it is not necessary to form an opening as in the roof rail of Patent Document 2, the number of manufacturing steps for the roof rail 10 can be reduced. Further, the front end portion and the rear end portion of the main body 11 and the end surface of the cover member 12 are formed in a flat shape. Since the end face shape of the front end portion and the rear end portion of the main body portion 11 and the end face shape of the cover member 12 are simple, the main body can be simply cut by linearly cutting the cylindrical member C as shown by a one-dot chain line in FIG. 3C. The part 11 and the cover members 12F and 12R can be manufactured. Moreover, since the parting line formed in the upper wall part C1 and the side wall parts C3 and C4 is linear at the boundary part between the main body part 11 and the cover members 12F and 12R, the appearance quality of the roof rail 10 can be improved. .

  Further, the cover members 12F and 12R are assembled to the front end portion and the rear end portion of the main body portion 11, so that the front end and the rear end of the main body portion 11 are closed and the screw SC1 fixing the main body portion 11 is covered. Covered by the members 12F and 12R. Therefore, a molding or cap like the conventional roof rail is not necessary. Moreover, since the parting line formed in the roof rail 10 is only the parting line formed in the boundary part of the main-body part 11 and cover member 12F, 12R, external appearance quality can be improved. Moreover, the main-body part 11 and the cover members 12F and 12R are comprised with the same metal material. Therefore, the overall sense of unity can be improved with respect to the appearance performance of the roof rail 10.

  Furthermore, in carrying out the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the object of the present invention.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the connecting member 14 is fastened to the main body 11 and the cover members 12F and 12R with screws SC1 and SC2, respectively. However, the connecting member 14 may be configured to be unevenly fitted to the main body 11 and the cover members 12F and 12R.

  When the clip is assembled to the lower surface of the lower wall portion C2 of the cover members 12F and 12R, the bracket is assembled to the front end portion and the rear end portion of the groove portion D, and when the cover members 12F and 12R are assembled to the main body portion 11, You may comprise so that a clip may fit in a bracket. According to this, the cover members 12 </ b> F and 12 </ b> R are not only fixed to the main body portion 11 but also directly fixed to the upper surface of the roof R. Therefore, the cover members 12F and 12R are more firmly fixed.

  In addition, regarding the appearance performance of the roof rail 10, if there is no problem even if the overall sense of unity is slightly lowered, the cover members 12F and 12R may be formed using a die-cast method. Further, the cover members 12F and 12R may be formed of a synthetic resin material. When the cover members 12F and 12R are formed using a die-cast method or a synthetic resin material, the cover member 12F (12R) and the connecting member 14 may be formed integrally. According to this, the number of parts can be reduced.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 6, the end surface (any one or both of a front end surface and a rear end surface) of the main-body part 11 may be formed in the curved surface form. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 7, the edge part (any one or both of a front-end part and a rear-end part) of the main-body part 11 may be formed in step shape. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 8, the vehicle width direction center part of the upper wall part C1 in the edge part (any one or both of a front-end part and a rear-end part) of the main-body part 11 may be notched. . In these cases, the end portions of the cover members 12F and 12R may be formed so that the end surfaces of the cover members 12F and 12R abut against the end surface of the main body portion 11 in a state where the cover members 12F and 12R are assembled to the main body portion 11. .

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the cover member 12F and the cover member 12R are each assembled | attached to the front end and rear end of the main-body part 11, a cover member is assembled | attached to either one of the front end of the main-body part 11, and a rear end. It may be a roof rail. In the above embodiment, the front end surface (rear end surface) of the main body 11 and the rear end surface of the cover member 12F (front end surface of the cover member 12R) in a state where the cover member 12F (12R) is assembled to the main body 11. Are configured to contact each other. However, instead of this, the front end (rear end) of the main body 11 may be configured to be inserted inside the cover member 12F (12R). That is, the main body 11 and the cover member 12F (12R) may be assembled in a state where the front end (rear end) of the main body 11 and the end of the cover member 12F (12R) overlap.
