【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、ルーフパネルを上下に昇降自在に跳上げるとができるルーフ跳上げ式自動車において、前記ルーフパネルの下降時にルーフパネルと車体側ルーフとの水密を保持することができるルーフ跳上げ式自動車に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来技術】
ルーフパネルを上下に昇降自在に跳上げることができるルーフ跳上げ式自動車として特開平4−103432号公報記載のものがある。
前記公開公報に記載のものでは、ルーフパネルの外周下縁にシール部材たる防水ゴムが嵌着されており、ルーフパネルの下降閉縮状態では、ルーフパネル外周下縁の防水ゴムが車体側ルーフ頂面に密接し、該防水ゴムによって車体側ルーフ頂部とルーフパネルとで囲まれた空間が密封されるようになっていた。
【0003】
【解決しようとする課題】
前記特開平4−103432号公報記載のものでは、防水ゴムが外部に露出しているため、ルーフパネルの下降時に、防水ゴムが車体側ルーフ頂面に当接して密接した際に、該防水ゴムの変形が不揃いとなった状態が外部から鮮明に見え、特に車体側ルーフ頂面とルーフパネルの外周下縁との距離が一定しない場合には、前記防水ゴム変形の不揃いが一段と目立ってしまう。
【0004】
また防水ゴムと該防水ゴムに当接する車体側ルーフ頂面とは常に外界に晒されているため、該防水ゴムは老化し易く、しかも両者にごみ等の異物が付着して、この異物により防水ゴムが破損し、水密性が損われ易く、さらに防水ゴムに付着した異物によって車体側ルーフ頂面が傷付けられる不具合がある。
【0005】
本発明は、このような不具合を解消したルーフ跳上げ式自動車の改良に係り、ルーフパネルを上下へ昇降自在に跳上げることができるルーフ跳上げ式自動車において、前記ルーフパネルは車体側ルーフの一部を構成し、または該車体側ルーフとは別体であって、前記ルーフパネルの外周縁が車体側ルーフ表面に対し間隔を存した状態で該ルーフパネルを支持するパネル支持手段と、該ルーフパネル外周縁より内側に位置した前記車体側ルーフのシール面または前記ルーフパネルのシール面に接離自在に当接しうるように該ルーフパネルまたは車体側ルーフに装着されたシール部材と、該ルーフパネルと車体側ルーフ間に配接された被覆部材とを備え、前記被覆部材の側部には段差部が形成され、該段差部に前記ルーフパネルの下端外周部が臨んでいることを特徴とするものである。
【0006】
本発明は前記したように構成されているので、前記形状変化をしたシール部材は、前記ルーフパネルと車体側ルーフとで外部に露出しないように、該ルーフパネルでもって遮閉され、該車体側ルーフとルーフパネルとの隣接部分は、2本の線に見えて洗練された形状となり、外観性が良好である。
【0007】
そして本発明では、ルーフパネルと車体側ルーフ間に被覆部材が配設され、前記被覆部材の側部には段差部が形成され、該段差部に前記ルーフパネルの下端外周部が臨んでなるから、シール部材は、前記ルーフパネルと車体側ルーフとで外界から遮断され、太陽光線や風雨に直接晒されないため、その老化現象が抑制されて耐久性が向上し、長期間に亘って高い密封性を維持することができるとともに、該構造部における外観性の向上を図ることができる。
【0008】
また本発明を請求項2記載のように構成することにより、前記ルーフパネルを下方へ下降させた場合には、前記車体側ルーフ開口部を前記ルーフパネルで密閉することができるとともに、車体内部空間に通ずる前記車体側ルーフ開口部を前記シール部材でもって気水密に密封することができ、しかも前記ルーフパネルを上方へ跳上げさせた場合には、前記車体側ルーフ開口部を介して前記車体内部空間を車体外に開放させることができる。
【0009】
さらに本発明を請求項3記載のように構成することにより、前記車体側ルーフ開口部と前記パネル支持手段とに間隙が存在しても、この間隙を外周部が下方へ湾曲した被覆材でもって覆うことができ、前記ルーフパネルに降りかかった雨水を、該フレームパネルの外周縁の下方に隣接した該被覆部材でもって、前記車体側ルーフ開口部と支持フレームとの間隙に浸入させないように遮ることができる。
【0010】
さらにまた本発明を請求項4記載にように構成することにより、前記ルーフパネルを上方へ跳上げさせた場合に、前記車体側ルーフとルーフパネルと可撓性シート外側壁とで密閉空間を形成して、該密閉空間を寝室等に利用することができる。
【0011】
しかも前記ルーフパネルを下方へ下降させてた場合には、前記シール部材でもって前記可撓性シート外側壁を外気に対し遮断し、該可撓性シート外側壁の汚れや風化を防止し、該可撓性シート外側壁の外観を良好に保持できるとともに、耐久性を向上させることができる。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図1ないし図7に図示された本発明の一実施例について説明する。
乗用自動車1は、4ドア乗用車の車体後部に上方へ開閉される後部ドア2を備えた5ドアハッチバック型であって、ステーションワゴンとも称せられており、該後部ドア2を上方へ開放した場合には、車室内空間がその開口でもって広く車室外へ開放されるようになっている。
【0013】
また乗用自動車1の鋼板製車体側ルーフ3の後部に略矩形状の開口部4が形成され、該開口部4の左右の側縁5の外側に前後方向へ指向した排水溝部6が形成されている。
【0014】
さらに繊維強化樹脂製のルーフパネル7を支持するパネル支持手段たるパネルフレーム8の外周面9は、開口部4より僅かに小さな形状となるように、中空矩形断面形状に形成され、該パネルフレーム8の両側外周面9aの前後2個所にブラケット10が一体に溶接等で固着され、図6に図示されるように、ブラケット10の孔11に対応した個所の排水溝部6にスタッドボルト12が溶接等により一体に植設されており、パネルフレーム8と一体のブラケット10の孔11を、排水溝部6と一体のスタッドボルト12に嵌合した後、ナット34を螺合緊締することにより、パネルフレーム8を車体側ルーフ3に一体に取付けることができるようになっている。
【0015】
さらにまた図4に図示されるように、パネルフレーム8の両側外周面9aの後部に突起13が側方に向って突設され、通常ガスシリンダと称せられる内部に圧縮ガスと圧縮コイルスプリングが内装された弾性付勢手段14の下端が該突起13に係止されるとともに、弾性付勢手段14の上端がルーフパネル7の略前後中央下面に係止され、またパンタグラフ式リンク15の下端は、支持杆16の前部を支持する支持ブラケット17の中間平面部17bに図示されない枢支手段を介して枢着されるとともにパンタグラフ式リンク15の上端は図示されない枢支手段を介してルーフパネル7の下面に枢着されており、前記弾性付勢手段14の伸長付勢力により図2に図示されるように、ルーフパネル7の重量に対抗してルーフパネル7が上方へ拡開されるようになっている。
【0016】
またパネルフレーム8の頂面8aには、パネルフレーム8より前後に細長いアングル状の支持杆16が溶接等により一体に固着され、図3に図示されるように、該支持杆16の前部は、パネルフレーム8より前方に位置した前後に細長い支持ブラケット17の上方平面部17aに溶接等により一体に固着され、該支持ブラケット17の下方平面部17cは排水溝部6の上面に当接され、排水溝部6より上方へ突出したスタッドボルト12と同様な図示されないスタッドボルトおよび該スタッドボルトに螺合緊締される図示されないナットによって排水溝部6に一体に装着されている。
【0017】
さらに図3に図示されるように、パネルフレーム8よりも前後方向に細長く形成された断面が、L状のベッドフレーム18の直立部片18aの外側面が支持杆16の直立部片16aの内側面と溶接等で一体に固着され、該ベッドフレーム18の水平部片18bに床板受19が設けられ、該床板受19にベット床板20が載置されるようになっている。
【0018】
さらにまた左右の支持杆16の水平部片16bとパネルフレーム8の両側外周面9aと車体側ルーフ3の外側壁部3aとに当接し、車体側ルーフ3の側縁5および排水溝部6を覆う繊維強化樹脂製被覆カバー21が図示されない固定手段でもって左右の支持杆16の水平部片16bに一体に装着され、該被覆カバー21は外周部が下方へ湾曲された請求項2における被覆部材であって、該被覆カバー21の水平部片21aと外側傾斜部片21bとの角部に段差部21cが形成され、さらに図4に図示されるように、突起13の付近では水平部片21aには下方へ弯曲した凹部21dが形成され、該凹部21dに排水溝部6の直上に位置して水抜き孔22が設けられている。
【0019】
しかもルーフパネル7の下面両側で支持杆16の水平部片16bの直上に位置して繊維強化樹脂製の補強部材23が一体に固着され、該補強部材23の下面中央に取付けリブ24が一体に突設され、該取付けリブ24にシールラバー25が嵌着されており、ルーフパネル7が下方へ閉縮された場合には、シールラバー25が被覆カバー21の水平部片21aに当接して水密に保持されるようになっている。
【0020】
また被覆カバー21の水平部片21aと補強部材23の内側壁部23aとに軟質合成樹脂製のシート26の上下両端面26a,26bが当てがわれ、これら当接部を貫通する固着ピン27でもってシート26の上端部26aは補強部材23に装着されるとともに、シート26の下端部26bは被覆カバー21の水平部片21aに装着されている。
【0021】
さらに図7に図示されるように補強部材23の前後略中央部に、ロックレバー28が上下へ揺動自在に枢着され、該ロックレバー28に基端29aが枢着された係合片29の先端29bは、床板受19に装着された係止爪30と係脱自在に係止されるようになっている。
しかも車体側ルーフ3の側縁5にブチールモール33が嵌合されている。
【0022】
図1ないし図7に図示された実施形態は前記したように構成されているので、図1および図7に図示されるように、ルーフパネル7が下降閉縮されて、係合片29の先端29bが係止爪30に係止された状態において、ロックレバー28を内方へ揺動させると、係合片29の先端29bが係止爪30より外れ、シールラバー25の弾性によりルーフパネル7は上方へ浮上がり、その後、手でもってルーフパネル7を上方へ少し持上げれば、後は弾性付勢手段14が機能し、ルーフパネル7は上方へ拡開され、車室空間31の上方に就寝空間32が拡張される。
【0023】
そして多数枚のベット床板20の内の1枚のベット床板20を前方または後方へずらして、就寝空間32内に利用者が進入した後、再びこのベット床板20を元に戻し、ベット床板20上に寝具を敷けば、就寝空間32内で就寝することができ、または就寝空間32を物入れとして利用することもできる。
【0024】
次に就寝空間32を収縮させてルーフパネル7を下方へ閉縮するには、弾性付勢手段14の伸長付勢力に打勝ってルーフパネル7を下降させ、弛んだシート26を渦巻状に巻回した後、係合片29の先端29bを係止爪30に係合してから、ロックレバー28を上方へ揺動させれば、係合片29の先端29bは係止爪30に係止され、ルーフパネル7は閉縮された状態を保持することができる。
【0025】
またルーフパネル7の下端外周縁7aが、被覆カバー21の水平部片21aよりも下方に位置し、その段差部21cに対して所定の間隙を存してその位置に保持されているので、ルーフパネル7と被覆カバー21との隣接部は2本の平行な線に見えて洗練された形状となり、外観性が良好である。
【0026】
さらにルーフパネル7の下端外周縁7aと被覆カバー21の段差部21cとに間隙があっても、ルーフパネル7の下端外周縁7aは被覆カバー21の水平部片21aに比べて低い位置に設定されているので、雨水がルーフパネル7の下面と被覆カバー21の水平部片21aとの空間に浸入し難く、たとえこの空間に雨水が浸入したとしても、シールラバー25によって水密に遮断されているため、これより内方には浸入することができない。
【0027】
さらにまた車体側ルーフ3の側縁5とパネルフレーム8の外周面9とに間隙があっても、側縁5にブチールモール33が嵌合され、かつこの間隙は、被覆カバー21の外側傾斜部片21bの下端縁21eよりもはるか上方に位置しているため、車体側ルーフ3の側縁5とパネルフレーム8の外周面9との間隙がブチールモール33で塞がれ、しかも被覆カバー21の下端縁21eと車体側ルーフ3との間隙から雨水が浸入しにくく、この結果、車室空間31の側縁5とパネルフレーム8の外周面9との間隙より車室空間31に雨水が浸入することはない。
【0028】
しかもルーフパネル7が下降されて、就寝空間32が閉縮された状態では、図7に図示されるように、シート26は渦巻状に巻回されて、補強部材23の内側壁部23aと係合片29とに挟持されるため、ベット床板20を除いても、シート26が車室空間31内に垂下ることが阻止される。
【0029】
図1ないし図7に図示の実施形態においては、補強部材23より下方へ突出して被覆カバー21の水平部片21aに当接しうる図示されないパネル支持手段たるストッパーを形成すれば、シールラバー25にルーフパネル7の自重を負担させずに、シールラバー25の耐久性を高水準に保持することができる。
【0030】
また図1ないし図7に図示された実施形態では、補強部材23に取付けリブ24を下方へ突出させたが、図8に図示するように、被覆カバー21の水平部片21aに上方へ取付けリブ24を突設してもよい。
【0031】
なお図8に図示の実施形態では、被覆カバー21の段差部21cの代りに被覆カバー21の角部に突条部21fを形成してもよく、段差部21cと同様な雨水浸入阻止効果を奏しうる。
【0032】
また図1ないし図8に図示の実施形態では、ルーフ7で覆われる鋼板製車体側ルーフ3の後半部に開口部4を形成し、該鋼板製車体側ルーフ3と材質の異なる繊維強化樹脂製ルーフ7でもって該開口部4を覆っていたが、該開口部4を前記ルーフ7と同程度に広げ、該ルーフ7を前記鋼板製車体側ルーフ3と同材質の鋼板製とするとともに、乗用自動車1の車体側ルーフ3の一部として鋼製してもよい。
【0033】
さらに図1ないし図8に図示の実施形態では、車体側ルーフ3に開口部4が形成され、車室空間31 が開口部4を介して車体側ルーフ3より上方の就寝空間32に連通していたが、図9に図示するように、車体側ルーフ3に開口部4を形成せず、被覆カバー21と補強部材23とにその上下両端縁が装着された軟質合成樹脂シート26に、開口自在の扉部を設けることにより、車外から就寝空間32へ入り、または就寝空間32から車外へ出ることができるようにしてもよい。

Therefore, it is difficult for rainwater to enter the space between the lower surface of the roof panel 7 and the horizontal piece 21a of the cover 21. Even if rainwater enters this space, the rainwater is blocked by the seal rubber 25 in a watertight manner. , It cannot penetrate inward.
[0027]
Furthermore, even if there is a gap between the side edge 5 of the vehicle body side roof 3 and the outer peripheral surface 9 of the panel frame 8, the butyr molding 33 is fitted to the side edge 5, and this gap is formed by the outer inclined portion piece of the covering cover 21. Since the gap between the side edge 5 of the vehicle body side roof 3 and the outer peripheral surface 9 of the panel frame 8 is closed by the butyral molding 33, and the lower edge of the covering cover 21. It is difficult for rainwater to penetrate through the gap between the roof 21 and the vehicle body side roof 3. As a result, rainwater does not enter the vehicle interior space 31 from the gap between the side edge 5 of the vehicle interior space 31 and the outer peripheral surface 9 of the panel frame 8. Absent.
[0028]
Further, in a state where the roof panel 7 is lowered and the sleeping space 32 is closed and contracted, the sheet 26 is spirally wound and engaged with the inner wall portion 23a of the reinforcing member 23 as shown in FIG. Since the sheet 26 is sandwiched between the pieces 29, the seat 26 is prevented from hanging down into the vehicle interior space 31 even if the bed floor plate 20 is removed.
[0029]
In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, if a stopper (not shown) is formed as a panel supporting means (not shown) which projects downward from the reinforcing member 23 and can abut on the horizontal portion 21 a of the covering cover 21, the roof of the seal rubber 25 is formed. The durability of the seal rubber 25 can be maintained at a high level without burdening the weight of the panel 7.
[0030]
Further, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the mounting rib 24 is projected downward from the reinforcing member 23, but as shown in FIG. 24 may be protruded.
[0031]
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, a ridge 21f may be formed at a corner of the covering cover 21 instead of the step 21c of the covering cover 21, and the same effect of preventing rainwater from entering as the step 21c can be obtained. sell.
[0032]
In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, an opening 4 is formed in the rear half portion of the steel body-side roof 3 covered with the roof 7, and the steel body-side roof 3 is made of a fiber-reinforced resin having a different material from that of the steel body-side roof 3. Although the opening 4 was covered by the roof 7, the opening 4 was widened to the same extent as the roof 7, and the roof 7 was made of a steel plate of the same material as the steel body-side roof 3, and was used for passengers. Steel may be used as a part of the body-side roof 3 of the automobile 1.
[0033]
Further, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, an opening 4 is formed in the vehicle body side roof 3, and the cabin space 31 communicates with the sleeping space 32 above the vehicle body side roof 3 through the opening 4. However, as shown in FIG. 9, the opening 4 is not formed in the vehicle body side roof 3, but can be freely opened in the soft synthetic resin sheet 26 in which the upper and lower edges of the covering cover 21 and the reinforcing member 23 are mounted. By providing the door portion, the user may be allowed to enter the sleeping space 32 from outside the vehicle or to exit the vehicle from the sleeping space 32.
