【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、車体側ルーフの一部を構成しまたは車体側ルーフとは別体のルーフバネルを、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特開平４−１０３４３２号公報記載のルーフ跳上げ式自動車においては、ルーフパネルの前端は車体頂壁部に蝶番の如き枢支手段を介して上下に傾動自在に枢支されるとともに、該ルーフパネルの後端は、図示されない油圧式または空気圧式シリンダ等の伸縮手段を介して車体側ルーフに支持されるようになっていた。
【０００３】
【解決しようとする課題】
このような従来のルーフ跳上げ式自動車では、車体側ルーフにおける枢支手段および伸縮手段の取付け部に、前記ルーフパネルの全自重のみならず、該ルーフパネルに働く風、走行風等の空気圧力による外力が集中して作用するため、これらの荷重に耐えることができるように、前記枢支手段および伸縮手段の取付け部近傍の車体側ルーフを補強、補剛しなければならなくなり、大規模の車体改造作業が必要となって、工期が延長し、コストアップが避けられない不具合があった。
【０００４】
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、前記ルーフパネルを支持するパネル支持手段に複数個の取付け部材が一体に装着され、該取付け部材が固着手段をもって車体側ルーフの上面に一体に装着されることで該パネル支持手段を介して前記ルーフパネルが該車体側ルーフの上面で上下に昇降自在に跳上げ支持されており、また、前記ルーフパネルと車体側ルーフ間には被覆部材が配設され、該車体側ルーフと被覆部材で囲まれた部位に前記取付け部材が配設されていることを特徴とするものである。
【０００５】
本発明は前記したように構成したため、前記ルーフパネルの自重や外力を前記パネル支持手段に負担させ、該パネル支持手段に負担された荷重を前記取付け部材を介して前記車体側ルーフに分散して伝達支持させることができる結果、該車体側ルーフに大巾な車体改造作業を施す必要がなくなり、能率良く低コストでルーフ跳上げ式自動車を生産することができる。また、ルーフパネルと被覆部材内である車体外側にルーフパネル支持部材が配置されることで、ルーフ跳上げ時の室内を広く確保できると共にルーフ収納時には取付け部材は内部に収容されていることから耐久性ができ、ルーフ形状によらず跳上げ構造を容易に形成できると共に外観性の向上も併せて得られる。
【０００６】
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、前記パネル支持手段を簡単な構造に構成することができるとともに、前記ルーフパネルに加えられる荷重を車体側ルーフに広い範囲に亘り分散して伝達支持させることができる。
【０００７】
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、前記パネル支持手段、取付け部材および固着手段は、前記被覆部材で覆われて外観性が向上する。
【０００８】
さらにまた本発明を請求項４記載の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。
【０００９】
【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。
【００１０】
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。
【００１１】
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、請求項１における取付け部材たるブラケット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。
【００１２】
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。
【００１３】
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。
【００１４】
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。
【００１５】
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は請求項３における被覆カバーであって、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。
【００１６】
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。
【００１７】
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。
【００１８】
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。
【００１９】
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を上方へ少し持ち上げれば、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。
【００２０】
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。
【００２１】
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。
【００２２】
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。
【００２３】
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。
【００２４】
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。
【００２５】
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。
【００２６】
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。
【００２７】
また図１ないし図７に図示の実施形態では、ルーフ７出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。
【００２８】
さらに図１ないし図７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８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。

In addition, a reinforcing member 23 made of fiber reinforced resin is integrally fixed on both lower surfaces of the roof panel 7 directly above the horizontal pieces 16b of the support rod 16, and a mounting rib 24 is integrally formed at the center of the lower surface of the reinforcing member 23. When the roof panel 7 is closed and contracted downward, the seal rubber 25 comes into contact with the horizontal portion 21a of the covering cover 21 to be watertight. Is to be held.
[0017]
Further, upper and lower end surfaces 26a, 26b of a sheet 26 made of a soft synthetic resin are applied to the horizontal piece 21a of the covering cover 21 and the inner wall 23a of the reinforcing member 23, and the fixing pins 27 penetrate these contact portions. Thus, the upper end 26a of the sheet 26 is attached to the reinforcing member 23, and the lower end 26b of the sheet 26 is attached to the horizontal piece 21a of the cover 21.
[0018]
Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a lock lever 28 is pivotally mounted on the reinforcing member 23 at a substantially central portion in the front-rear direction so as to be swingable up and down, and an engagement piece 29 having a base end 29a pivotally mounted on the lock lever 28. The distal end 29b of the is locked with a locking claw 30 attached to the floor plate receiver 19 in a detachable manner.
Moreover, the butyr molding 33 is fitted to the side edge 5 of the vehicle body side roof 3.
[0019]
Since the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 is configured as described above, as shown in FIGS. When the lock lever 28 is swung inward in a state in which the locking claw 30 is locked by the locking claw 30, the tip 29 b of the engagement piece 29 is disengaged from the locking claw 30, and the roof panel 7 Then, if the roof panel 7 is slightly lifted upward by hand, the elastic urging means 14 functions thereafter, the roof panel 7 is expanded upward, and the roof panel 7 is opened above the cabin space 31. The sleeping space 32 is expanded.

Further, even if there is a gap between the lower peripheral edge 7a of the roof panel 7 and the step portion 21c of the cover 21, the lower peripheral edge 7a of the roof panel 7 is set at a position lower than the horizontal piece 21a of the cover 21. 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.
[0024]
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.
[0025]
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.
[0026]
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.
[0027]
In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, an opening 4 is formed in the rear half of the steel-body-side roof 3 covered with the roof 7, and a fiber-reinforced resin made of a different material from 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.
