Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a roof rail trim for automobile interior materials.

An example of a conventional roof rail trim is shown in FIG. In the figure, 01 is roof rail trim, 0
2 is a headlining, 03 is a roof rail cover, and 04 is a roof rail panel. Since this roof rail trim has no lip, it is easy to trim 01 due to variations in the gap a after trim assembly.
comes off. Further, in another example shown in FIG. 4, the roof rail trim 01 includes a core metal 05, which has a strong holding force, but has poor assembly workability and is high in cost.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a roof rail trim that eliminates problems such as difficulty in assembly or falling off due to uneven gaps as described above, and improves the appearance of the interior. Inserted from the inside of the vehicle between a roof rail panel in which a horizontal portion extending horizontally is formed and a vertical flange portion extending substantially perpendicularly from the edge of the horizontal portion and a head lining located above the roof rail panel. a first lip extending downward from the proximal end of the inserting part and disposed along the interior side surface of the vertical flange; and a first lip extending upward from the proximal end of the inserting part. a second lip that comes into contact with the head lining; a third lip that extends downwardly and inwardly from the intermediate portion of the insertion portion and comes into contact with the outside side of the vehicle interior of the vertical flange; a fourth lip that extends downwardly from the tip of the insertion portion and toward the inside of the vehicle interior and comes into contact with the horizontal portion; and a fifth lip extending inclined toward the indoor side and abutting the head lining.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a vehicle body equipped with an embodiment of the roof rail trim according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line A--A in FIG. 1.

In the figure, a roof rail trim 1 is installed between a head lining (interior material) 2 and a roof rail panel 4. The roof rail panel 4 has a horizontal portion 41 extending substantially horizontally at the upper end.
is formed, and a vertical flange portion 42 extending substantially perpendicularly from the edge of the horizontal portion 41 is formed, and the head lining 2 is positioned above the roof rail panel 4.

To explain the structure of the roof rail trim 1 in detail here, first, an insertion part 10 inserted from the interior side of the vehicle between the head lining 2 and the roof rail panel 4 is configured as a main body part.
The first lip 11 extends downward from the base end side of the vertical flange portion 42 and is arranged along the interior side surface of the vertical flange portion 42.
is provided. Further, on the opposite side of the first lip 11, a second lip 12 is formed which extends upward from the base end side of the insertion part 10 and comes into contact with the head lining 2, and in the middle part of the insertion part 10, a second lip 12 is formed which extends downwardly and into the passenger compartment. A third lip 13 is formed that extends inwardly and abuts the side surface of the vertical flange portion 42 on the outside of the vehicle interior. Further, a fourth lip 14 is formed at the tip of the insertion portion 10 and extends downwardly and toward the inside of the vehicle interior, and abuts on the horizontal portion 41.
It is located between the lip 13 and the fourth lip 14 and is formed to extend upward from the insertion portion 10 and at an angle toward the inside of the vehicle interior, and to come into contact with the head lining 2 .

3 is a roof rail cover (interior material), and 5 is a roof panel.

The functions and effects of the above configuration will be described.

Since the first lip 11 and the third lip 13 sandwich the vertical flange portion 42 of the roof rail panel 4, the roof rail trim 1 is securely held against the roof rail panel 4.

Furthermore, since the fourth lip 14 that contacts the horizontal portion 41 of the roof rail panel 4 and the fifth lip 15 that contacts the head lining 2 are provided,
Even if there are variations in the distance a between the head lining 2 and the roof rail panel 4, it is possible to sufficiently track the height and securely hold the roof rail trim 1.
and the fourth lip 14, the fifth lip
The reaction force 1b against the deformation of the lip 15 acts on the third lip 13 and the fourth lip 14,
In response to this reaction force 1b, the fourth lip 14 in particular ensures the retention after assembly, and the third lip 13 makes it more secure to prevent it from coming off.

Furthermore, since the third to fifth lips 13 to 15 extend in an inclined direction toward the inside of the vehicle, each of the lips 13 to 1
5 easily bends when inserted, making the head lining 2
and the roof rail panel 4.
0 can be inserted, which provides excellent assembly workability and also provides a retaining effect, reliably preventing the roof rail trim from falling off.

Furthermore, since a second lip 12 is provided that extends upward from the proximal end of the insertion portion 10 and comes into contact with the head lining 2, the head lining 2 and the roof rail panel can be easily connected even when the above-mentioned distance a varies. It has the advantage of being able to reliably cover the gap between 4 and 4 and improving the appearance.

In addition, the reaction force 1b against the deformation of the fifth lip 15
Since the reaction force is received by the third lip 13 and the fourth lip 14, the reaction force is not concentrated in one place, and the durability is also excellent.
