Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention is applicable to an automobile in which a roof panel is formed separately from the automobile body, and the roof panel is detachably attached to the automobile body.
This invention relates to an automobile roof attachment/detachment device that allows the roof panel to be attached and detached easily, quickly, and reliably.

[Prior art]

Some automobiles have removable roof panels. In this case, it is desirable that the roof panel can be attached and detached easily and quickly, and it also needs to be done reliably.

For this reason, it has conventionally been possible to pivot a lever that rotates horizontally to the lower surface of the edge of the roof panel, and by rotating the lever, the roof panel can be locked to the vehicle body or detached. A device for attaching and detaching the roof of a car was used.

However, in the conventional device, the lever sometimes rotates inadvertently, and it is also necessary to attach an engaging part to the tip of the lever on the vehicle body.

[Purpose of invention]

This idea prevents the lever that locks the roof panel to the vehicle body and allows it to be released from being rotated inadvertently, and also eliminates the need to attach the engagement part for the tip of the lever to the vehicle body. The object of the present invention is to provide a device for attaching and detaching an automobile roof.

[Structure of the idea]

This idea consists of a flange that extends horizontally from the roll bar on the vehicle body, an opening trim that is fitted over both the top and bottom of the flange, and a roof that is formed separately from the vehicle body. a bent edge provided downward along the edge of the panel and placed on the opening trim; a boss provided on the lower surface of the roof panel; a base pivoted to the boss and pivoted horizontally. a lever whose tip can be brought into pressure contact with the lower side of the opening trim; a protrusion protruding upward between the base and the tip of the lever; a recess into which the protrusion fits in a rotational position where the tip of the lever is pressed against the lower side of the opening trim; a recess different from the above into which the projection fits into a rotational position where the tip of the lever is removed from the lower side of the opening trim; An automobile roof attaching/detaching device comprising: a guide having an arcuate groove centered on the boss provided over two concave portions;

〔Example〕

Next, an embodiment of this invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. In Fig. 1, 1 is a car, and a roll bar 3 formed of a metal plate is attached to the center part of the car body 2, and a roof, which will be described later, is attached to the front part of the roll bar 3. A panel 4 is detachably attached and a hood cloth 5 is stretched on the rear part. FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view taken along the - line in FIG.
A flange portion 7 is provided that projects horizontally toward the front and extends in the left-right direction of the vehicle body 2, and an opening trim 6 made of an elastic material such as rubber is fitted so as to cover both upper and lower surfaces of the flange portion 7. It is worn.

A downward bent edge 17 is provided along the rear edge of the roof panel 4 which is formed separately from the vehicle body 2. When the roof panel 4 is attached to the vehicle body 2, the bent edge 17 is provided. is opening trim 6
It is designed to be placed on top.

On the lower surface of the roof panel 4, a cylindrical boss 8 is provided facing downward, and as shown in FIG. 3, an annular projection 9 is provided on the outside thereof.
The base of the lever 10 is located at the center of the boss 8.
2, the annular groove 11 provided on the upper surface of the base of the lever 10 fits into the annular protrusion 9, and the lever 1
0 rotates horizontally around the screw 12 while maintaining a horizontal state, and the tip of the lever 10 can be positioned on the lower surface of the opening trim 6 or removed from the lower surface of the opening trim 6. When the tip of the lever 10 is located on the lower surface of the opening trim 6 as shown in FIG. , the flange portion 7 of the roll bar 3 is sandwiched through the opening trim 6.

As shown in FIG. 3, on the bottom surface of the roof panel 4,
A guide 14 having an arcuate groove 13 centered on the boss 8 is formed near the boss 8 . As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, this groove 13 is greatly deepened at both ends to form concave portions 18, 18. And this groove 13
, from the middle part of the lever 10 to the roof panel 4.
It is designed to fit shallowly into the upper end of a protrusion 15 (see FIG. 6) that protrudes toward the side. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, the lever 10 is provided with a grip portion 16, so that the lever 10 can be easily rotated.

As shown by the solid line in FIG. 7, at the rotational position where the tip of the lever 10 is in pressure contact with the lower side of the opening trim 6, the protrusion 15 is tightly fitted into one of the recesses 18 and the rotational position of the lever 10 is adjusted. hold and lever 10
The roof panel 4 is locked to the roll bar 3 on the vehicle body side while maintaining the state in which the flange part 7 is held between the tip of the opening trim 6 and the bent edge part 17 of the roof panel 4.

Put your finger on the grip part 16 of the lever 10, rotate the lever 10 around the pivot point of the screw 12, and move the tip of the lever 10 from the locked state shown by the solid line in FIG. 7 to the position shown by the chain line. When the rotation position is removed from the opening trim 6, the protrusion 15
is tightly fitted into the other concave portion 18 through the concave groove 13 to maintain the rotational position of the lever 10 and release the roof panel 4 from the roll bar 3.
The roof panel 4 can be removed from the vehicle body 2 by pushing the roof panel 4 from below.
To reinstall it, just do the reverse operation.

During the above operation, the base of the lever 10 can be rotated stably without play by the annular projection 9 of the boss 8 and the annular groove 11 of the lever 10 that fits into the annular projection 9. It rotates along a constant trajectory, and the action of holding the opening trim 6 is also performed reliably. Further, by fitting the protrusion 15 into the concave portions 18, 18, which are formed by enlarging both ends of the concave groove 13 provided in the guide 14, the rotation of the lever 10 can be moderated.

[Effect of idea]

This idea does not require any modification to the car body 2 side, and the opening trim 6 that has been used previously.
The upper and lower surfaces of the roof panel 4 can be used as they are, and their elasticity can prevent the bent edge 17 of the roof panel 4 from coming out of engagement and ensure close contact.

Furthermore, the recessed portions 1 formed at both ends of the recessed groove 13
By fitting the protrusion 15 of the lever 10 into the holes 8 and 18, a rotational position in which the tip of the lever 10 is in pressure contact with the lower side of the opening trim 6 and a rotational position in which it is removed from the lower side of the opening trim 6 are set. This prevents the lever 10 from rotating inadvertently.
