It will have. Therefore, when fitted into a fitting recess 31 provided in the engaging female member 30 described later, the engaging male end 25 can be fitted so as to be hooked on the fitting recess 31. The retaining of the engaging male end 25 with respect to the fitting recess 31 (engaging female member 30) can be restricted, and the engaging male end 25 is engaged with the engaging female member 30.

Next, the engaging female member 30 that engages and supports the separator bar 20 by fitting the engaging male end portion 25 of the separator bar 20 will be described.
In order to bridge the separator bar 20, the engaging female members 30, 30 shown in FIG. 2 are in contact with the pillars 121, 121 on the pillars 121, 121 (left and right side walls) in the passenger compartment 11 shown in FIG. It is arranged in a supported state. The engaging female member 30 is a so-called bracket member formed of a plastic resin molded product, and is provided with a fitting recess 31 into which the engaging male end portion 25 of the separator bar 20 is fitted. For this reason, the engaging female members 30 and 30 are attached to the pillars 121 and 121 in the passenger compartment 11 via screw members (not shown).
Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the engaging female member 30 is formed in a three-dimensional shape supported in contact with the pillar 121 (12). The fitting recess 31 provided in the engaging female member 30 is a portion into which the engaging male end portion 25 is fitted. When the engaging male end portion 25 is fitted into an engaged state, the separator bar 20 is engaged. Will be supported. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 4, the engaging recess 31 of the engaging female member 30 has an outer peripheral surface 26 of the engaging male end 25 so that force is transmitted from the engaging male end 25 without waste. It is formed in the concave shape corresponding to the outer periphery shape of this, and surface contact possibility. That is, the fitting recess 31 has a shape corresponding to the shape of the axial end portion 251 so as to be in surface contact, a shape corresponding to the shape of the front end portion 252 and capable of surface contact, and the shape of the rear end portion 253. It is formed with a shape corresponding to contactability.
As shown in FIG. 3, the fitting recess 31 of the engaging female member 30 is formed with a fitting opening 33 in the fitting direction of the engaging male end 25, and from the engaged engaging male end 25. The extension opening 34 is formed so that the curved portion 232 can be extended. The fitting opening 33 includes an insertion portion 331 formed above and a fitting portion 332 formed below the insertion portion 331. The insertion portion 331 is a portion where the engaging male end portion 25 of the separator bar 20 is inserted in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure. The fitting part 332 is a part which presses down the engagement male end part 25 inserted in this insertion part 331 toward the arrow direction in the figure, and is engaged with each other. That is, the insertion of the engagement male end 25 into the fitting opening 33 can be performed only from the insertion portion 331. For this reason, when the engagement male end 25 of the separator bar 20 is fitted into the fitting recess 31 of the engagement female member 30, the insertion into the fitting opening 33 is divided into two stages and two directions. It will be a thing. Thereby, the fitting of the separator bar 20 with respect to the engaging female member 30 can be made difficult to come off in the insertion direction.
Further, since the extending opening 34 is formed in accordance with the outer diameter of the curved portion 232, it fits so that the engaging male end 25 is hooked to the fitting recess 31. The engagement male end 25 can be prevented from coming off from the fitting recess 31 (engagement female member 30). As shown in the figure, on the concave inner peripheral surface of the fitting recess 31, the portion facing the opening 34 for extension is also formed in a curved shape, and the engaging male end 25 extends. The fitting recess 31 facing the opening 34 is also in surface contact with the curved surface.

For this reason, the inner bottom 311 of the fitting recess 31 can be formed with an appropriate thickness, and is transmitted from the engaging male end 25 to the engaging female member 30. It has enough strength to receive power. Since the engaging female member 30 including the inner bottom portion 311 is supported in contact with the pillar 121 described above, the force transmitted from the engaging male end 25 can be released to the pillar 121. It has become.

According to the attachment structure of the separator bar 20 configured as in the first embodiment described above, the following operational effects can be achieved.
That is, according to the mounting structure of the separator bar 20 described above, the load F1 that the separator body 21 receives from the rear luggage compartment 112 toward the front passenger compartment 111 is directed from the separator body 21 toward the engagement male end portion 25. The force F2 in the axial direction of the separator body 21 can be converted to the engagement female member 30 from the engagement male end portion 25. Thus, the engaging female member 30 receives most of the force transmitted along the axial direction of the separator main body 21 from the engaging male end portion 25 at the inner bottom portion 311 existing on the axial extension. . At this time, the inner bottom portion 311 of the engaging female member 30 is formed with an appropriate thickness because it forms a bottom portion, and is a sufficiently high strength portion of the engaging female member 30. Therefore, when receiving the force transmitted from the engaging male end portion 25, the force is received at the most advantageous portion. Accordingly, the load bearing performance of the separator bar 20 can be enhanced.
Moreover, according to the attachment structure of the separator bar 20 described above, the bending structure of the separator main body 21 is an obtuse angle inclination direction toward the vehicle front direction with respect to the separate member 22 extending along the vehicle width direction (vehicle left-right direction). Since it is formed by bending, the load F1 applied to the separator main body 21 from the rear luggage compartment 112 toward the front passenger compartment 111 by the luggage loaded in the rear luggage compartment 112 is in the obtuse angle inclination direction. It is converted into the axial force F2 of the separator body 21. Further, since the engaging female member 30 is engaged so as to receive the engaging male end portion 25 in the obtuse angle inclination direction, the converted axial force F2 of the separator body 21 is the separator body that becomes the obtuse angle inclination direction. The force can be transmitted from the engagement male end portion 25 to the engagement female member 30 in the axial direction of 21. As a result, the engaging female member 30 can efficiently receive the force transmitted from the engaging male end portion 25, and the transmitted force is released to the pillar 121 (12) through the inner bottom portion 311 described above. Make it easier. Accordingly, the load bearing performance of the attachment portion of the separator bar 20 can be enhanced.
Moreover, according to the attachment structure of the separator bar 20 described above, the engagement male end portion 25 and the engagement female member 30 engaged with the engagement male end portion 25 are brought into contact with each other by curved surfaces. Since the force is transmitted from the engaging male end portion 25 to the engaging female member 30 as described above, the area where the engaging male end portion 25 and the engaging female member 30 are in contact with each other. The force from the engaging male end 25 can be distributed and transmitted. Further, since the surface contact at this time is a surface contact by a curved surface, the force from the engaging male end portion 25 can be distributed and transmitted in a plurality of directions in the normal direction of the curved surface. As a result, the force transmitted from the engaging male end portion 25 can be distributed and received at the attachment portion of the separator bar 20, and the load bearing performance of the attachment portion of the separator bar 20 can be enhanced.
