DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, referring to FIGS.
The technology that is the premise of the example will be described, and then FIG.
12, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG.
1 shows a roof portion of a one-box vehicle provided with a sunroof mechanism. An opening 2 is formed at a front portion of a roof panel 1 constituting the vehicle roof, and an opening 3 is formed at a central portion. The front opening 2 is covered with a tilt-type smoke glass sunroof 4, and the central opening 3 is covered with a front-rear sliding smoke glass sunroof 5.

A single center garnish panel 6 and two left and right side garnish panels 7 are provided around the sliding sunroof 5 so as to be flush with the sunroof 5, and a rear spoiler 8 is provided at the rear end. Is provided. The center garnish panel 6 is mounted on the roof panel 1 in a space between the sunroofs 4 and 5, and the left and right side garnish panels 7
Are arranged so as to go around the rear end from both sides of the sunroof 5 by a predetermined amount with the center garnish panel 6 as a starting point, and are mounted on the roof panel 1 in an overlapping manner. The rear end portion 1a of the roof panel 1 is formed so as to swell upward, and is flush with the sunroof 5, the left and right side garnish panels 7, and the like.

Along the outer side edges of the side garnish panels 7, longitudinal roof moldings (hereinafter, moldings) 10 are provided, respectively. As shown in FIG. 2, the molding 10 includes a reinforcement (reinforcement back plate) 7a.
The garnish panel 7 is disposed so as to be adjacent to the side edge of the side garnish panel 7 from the outside, and is attached to the end of the roof panel 1 via a molding clip (hereinafter, referred to as a clip) 11. The clip 11 includes a plate-shaped main body 12 as shown in FIG.
A grip 14 that rises upward is formed between the insertion portions 13, and an operator holds the grip 14 to fix the clip 11. On the other hand, a rising portion 15 protrudes upward from an end of the main body opposite to the insertion portion 13, and a claw portion 16 functioning as a locking portion is formed downward at the center of the upper side. A narrow elongated hole 17 is formed in the rising portion 15 below the claw portion 16 in the lateral direction, so that the claw portion 16 is easily elastically displaced. On the bottom surface of the main body 12, a double-sided tape portion 18 for fixing the clip 11 is formed. Note that the clip 11
Is obtained by integral molding of a synthetic resin.

Returning to FIG. 2, a side panel 19 is fixed to the roof panel 1, and a gap between the side panel 19 and the side garnish panel 7 is a slit 20 for attaching a molding. The above clip 11
It is housed in a space below the slit 20 and is adhered to the upper surface of the side edge of the roof panel 1 by a double-sided tape portion 18. This bonding is performed before the side garnish panel 7 is assembled.

The molding 10 is a synthetic resin product having a metal core 10a such as a stainless steel plate inserted therein, as shown in an enlarged cross section in FIG.
1 and a rising portion 22 that rises upward from the outer end side so as to bend, and a lip portion 23 extends downward from the rising portion 22 continuously. The end on the inner end side of the mounting portion 21 is used as the inserted portion 24.
At the approximate center of the mounting portion 21, a claw portion 25 projecting downward in a rib shape is formed.

As shown in FIG. 6, the width of the molding 10 is considerably larger than the width of the slit 20. However, when the molding 10 is mounted, it is obliquely inclined to the side of the insertion portion 24. From above, and inserted into the insertion portion 13 of the clip 11 from obliquely above. Then, while maintaining the insertion state, the mall 10
Is turned down so that the mounting portion 21 is substantially horizontal, and the claw portion 25 of the molding 10 is connected to the claw portion 1 of the clip 11 as shown in FIG.
6 is engaged from below. When the claws 16 and 25 are engaged with each other, as shown in FIG. 8, both of the claws 16 and 25 get over the mating claws while being elastically deformed. When the attachment is completed, the lip portion 23 of the molding 10 comes into contact with the upper edge of the side panel 19 to be in a sealed state.

[0013] As shown in FIG.
Thus, a roof water channel 26 is formed extending between the inside and the outside of the side garnish panel 7 with the side garnish panel 7 interposed therebetween. However, since the roof molding 10 is mounted by a combination of insertion and claw engagement, it is necessary for the mounting. The width dimension L3 of the slit 20 can be significantly smaller than in the prior art. Also, as shown in FIG.
The total cross-sectional area S3 in the assembled state is also kept small.

In the above description , the side garnish panel 7 is mounted above the roof panel 1. However, the side garnish panel 7 is omitted, and the slit 20 as described above is provided on the side edge of the roof panel 1. Forming
It is also possible to attach the mall 10 there.

By the way, as shown in FIG.
A double-sided tape portion 18 serving as an adhesive surface is formed on a bottom surface on one side in the width direction of the slit 20, and a bottom surface on the opposite side faces a joint portion between the roof panel 1 and the side panel 19 with a gap T therebetween. ing. Then, after inserting the insertion portion 24 of the molding 10 into the insertion portion 13 of the clip 11, the claw portion 25 of the molding 10 is pressed against the claw portion 16 of the clip 11 from above, and both claws are elastically deformed. The portions 16 and 25 are engaged with each other. At this time, a pressing force acts on the claw portion 16 of the clip 11. With this pushing force, the clip 11 is temporarily inclined (θ).
Or the bending δ as shown in FIG. 10 occurs, the claws 16 and 25 do not mesh with each other, and the molding 10
May not be securely attached to the clip 11.

In order to prevent this, it is effective to provide a rib 30 as shown in FIGS. That is, a pair of ribs 30 are formed integrally with the main body 12 by resin on the bottom surface of the clip 11 opposite to the insertion portion 13. These ribs 30
As shown in FIG. 12, both ends of the clip 11 protrude toward the joint between the roof panel 1 and the side panel 19, and each end comes into contact with the joint or faces each other with a slight gap. I have. In other words, these ribs 30 form a structural part like a bridge girder with respect to the gap T.

For this reason, when the molding 10 is fitted into the clip 11 and clamped, even if the claw 16 of the clip 11 is pressed by the claw 25 of the molding 10, the clip 11 is supported by the rib 30, so that it is inclined. Or flexing is prevented. Also, the presence of these ribs 30 does not obstruct the water channel, and the large-capacity roof water channel 26 as shown in FIG. 2 is maintained almost as it is. It should be noted that such ribs may be provided in a pair at both ends of the clip 11 or may be in the form of a continuous ridge.

[0018]

According to the present invention, the mounting structure of the roof molding and the molding clip adopts the insertion method on one side in the width direction and the claw engagement method on the other side, so that the structure can be made even from a narrow slit. The roof molding can be assembled to the molding clip. Therefore, the degree of freedom in designing the roof molding is greatly improved, and the slit for mounting the roof molding can be small, so that the appearance design is not spoiled. In addition, the total cross-sectional area in a state where the molding and the clip are connected can be reduced as compared with the related art.

Further, since the rib is formed on the bottom surface of the molding clip which is separated from the bonding surface, even if an uneven load is applied to the molding clip when the roof molding is mounted, the rib can stably maintain the posture of the molding clip. Therefore, the clip is prevented from being tilted or bent. Thus As a result, the roof molding the clip
It can be stably clamped.
