Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to a mounting structure for a roof panel reinforcement of a vehicle or the like.

(Joura's technology) Conventionally, a roof reinforcement 22 that is retrofitted to the inner surface of a roof panel 20 of a vehicle, etc. for reinforcement is formed into a substantially U-shaped cross section as shown in FIG. A substantially horizontal flange 24 is integrally formed in the flange 24.
is brought into surface contact with the lower surface of the roof panel 20 by pressing the edge of the roof lining 21 made of a skin material such as synthetic resin adhered to the lower surface of the roof panel 20, so that both ends of the roof reinforcement 22 are on the body side. The structure was such that it was reinforced by being fixed to it by a fastening member such as a bolt.

(Problem to be solved) Therefore, this roof reinforcement 2
2 is installed in surface contact with the lower surface of the roof panel 20, so if there is variation in the accuracy of the contact surfaces between them, it will not be possible to sufficiently press the flange 24 into surface contact with the roof panel 20, and The roof lining 21 cannot absorb this variation, so it takes time to install the roof reinforcement 22, and gaps are created between them, causing vibrations and vibrations over time.
This causes noise, and there are other problems such as the edge portion 25 of the flange 24 being exposed, deteriorating the interior appearance.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and is a roof panel that allows easy installation of roof reinforcement and significantly reduces vibration and noise. The purpose is to provide a mounting structure for a roof reinforcement, the gist of which is a mounting structure for a roof reinforcement that is mounted along the lower surface of a roof panel, the roof reinforcement having a substantially U-shaped cross section. A clip body with a substantially U-shaped cross section that can be clipped in a crown shape and a clip with a soft member attached along the side surface of the roof panel of this clip body are fitted onto the flanges formed on the left and right sides of the main body. The present invention relates to a roof reinforcement mounting structure configured to be fixed along the lower surface of a roof panel in a presser-like manner.

(Embodiment) Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 20 is a roof panel of a vehicle;
A plurality of roof linings 21 are adhered to the lower surface of the roof panel 20, and a roof reinforcement 22 is installed between the roof linings 21.

Reference numeral 22 denotes the above-mentioned roof reinforcement, which includes a main body 23 having a substantially U-shaped cross section and horizontal flanges 24 formed on both sides of the main body 23.
A flange 24 is formed in a curved shape so as to be able to come into contact with the lower surface of the flange 24, and mounting portions 26 to the body side are formed at both ends of the flange 24. A clip 27 is fitted in a crown shape along the flange 24 of the roof reinforcement 22 thus formed.

28 is the clip body of the clip 27,
It is formed of synthetic resin or the like into a substantially U-shaped cross section to which the flange 24 can be clamped, and the outer surface of one leg piece 29 of this clip body 28 is provided with a porous sponge member having a substantially triangular cross section as shown in the figure. 30 is attached along its longitudinal direction. The clip 27 thus formed is attached to the roof reinforcement 2.
The sponge member 30 side is fitted to the left and right flanges 24 of the roof lining 21 with the mounting side thereof, and the flanges 24 are pressed onto both ends of the roof lining 21 in an overlapping manner to press and deform the sponge member 30 to form the same sponge. The roof reinforcement 22 is attached by bringing the members 30 into close contact with each other and fixing the attachment portions 26 at both ends to the body side using fastening members.

Next, the operation and effects of this embodiment configured as described above will be explained.

Now, this embodiment is a mounting structure for a roof reinforcement 22 that is mounted along the lower surface of a roof panel 20.
A clip main body 28 with a substantially U-shaped cross section that can be clipped onto the flanges 24 formed on the left and right sides of the main body 23 with a substantially U-shaped cross section, and a clip main body 28 of the clip main body 28 along the side surface of the roof panel 20. The clip 27 to which the sponge member 30 is attached is fitted and fixed along the lower surface of the roof panel 20 in a pressing manner. Therefore, the flanges 2 formed on the left and right sides of the main body 23 of the roof reinforcement 22 having a substantially U-shaped cross section
4, a clip body 28 having a substantially U-shaped cross section that can be clipped in a crown shape and a clip 27 having a sponge member 30 attached along the side surface of the roof panel 20 of the clip body 28 are fitted. Even if there is variation in the contact surfaces between the roof panel 20 and the flange 24, by pressing down, the sponge member 30 of the clip 27 is pressed and deformed, and the roof reinforcement 22 is pressed against the roof panel 20.
(roof lining) through this sponge member, it can be installed without creating any gaps by absorbing the variations between them, and it can serve as a reinforcement, as well as reduce vibration and noise. It can be significantly reduced. In addition, the flange 24
Since the edge portion 25 is covered by the clip body 28, it is not exposed and has many features such as improving the interior appearance.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the clip body 28
Although the sponge member 30 is attached as an example, the present invention is not limited to this, and any soft member that deforms under pressure may be used. Moreover, although the sponge member 30 is illustrated as having a substantially triangular cross section, the present invention is not limited to this, and may have a substantially arcuate or rectangular cross section.

(Effects of the invention) The present invention is an installation structure for a roof reinforcement that is installed along the lower surface of a roof panel, and the roof reinforcement has a substantially U-shaped cross section formed on the left and right sides of the main body. A clip body having a substantially U-shaped cross section that can be clipped onto the flange in a crown shape, and a clip with a soft member attached along the side surface of the roof panel of the clip body are fitted onto the flange, and the clip is attached along the bottom surface of the roof panel. Due to the structure that the clips are fixed in a press-in manner, even if there is variation in the contact surfaces between the roof panel and the flange, the soft member of the clip is pressed and deformed by pressing, and the roof reinforcement is attached to the roof panel. The soft members are brought into close contact with each other, absorbing variations between them, and can be installed without creating gaps, thus serving as reinforcement, and significantly reducing vibration and noise. can. Furthermore, since the edge portion of the flange is covered by the clip body, it is not exposed and the interior appearance can be improved, making this an extremely practical design as a roof reinforcement mounting structure.
