Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field]

This invention relates to a structure for attaching the rear end of a suspended ceiling to an automobile, and more particularly to an improved suspension ceiling for an automobile having a back door so as to improve the appearance of the rear part of the roof when the back door is opened.

[Conventional technology]

A suspended ceiling of an automobile is suspended from a roof panel by suspending a lining material from a support wire stretched between roof side rails and fixing an end of the lining material to an end of the roof. By the way, in the case of suspended ceilings in automobiles with back doors such as hatchback cars and five-door cars, the rear end of the lining material has conventionally been
Terminal processing as shown in Publication No. 43429 is performed. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the flange portion 5a formed on the top panel 5 located at the upper edge 3 of the back door opening is partially cut and raised to provide hook portions 5b at several locations, and the lining material 7 A hook 6 is inserted into the bag portion 7a provided at the rear end portion, and the hook 6 is hooked to the hook portion 5b, thereby fixing the rear end of the lining material 7 to the rear portion of the roof. Also, roof panel 4
A weather strip 8 is attached to the flange portion 4a.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, the above method for treating the rear end of the lining material has the following problems. The bag portion 7a of the lining material 7, which is hung on the hook portion 5b via the hook 6, is spaced apart from the weather strip 8 attached to the roof panel 4, with a gap between the two. exists. Therefore, when opening the back door, the roof panel 4 and the top panel 5 are
The flange portions 4a and 5a are exposed and the body color is visible, resulting in a very poor appearance. One possible way to eliminate the above-mentioned gap is to extend the lower part of the weather strip 8 by a specific portion, but since the weather strip 8 is usually of the same cross-sectional shape all around the back door opening, Non-standard products must be manufactured separately, which not only complicates the production process but also increases costs. The present invention was devised under the above-mentioned circumstances, and is designed to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and improve the appearance of the rear part of the roof when the back door is opened. The objective is to provide a rear end mounting structure.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following technical measures. That is, a hook is provided below the flange formed at the upper edge of the back door opening at the rear of the roof, and a hook is provided at the bag formed at the rear end of the lining material suspended from the roof panel. In a structure for attaching the rear end of a suspended ceiling of an automobile, in which the hook is inserted into the rear end of a suspended ceiling of a car and the hook is hooked to the hook, when the hook is hooked to the hook, the weather strip attached to the flange is attached to the bag. The hook is provided with a bulge such that the hook can cover the flange.

[Action and effect]

In the present invention, the bag portion covers the flange portion in cooperation with the weather strip attached to the flange portion. That is, the hook, which is housed in the bag part and has a bulging part, is hooked to the hook part, whereby the rear end of the lining material is fixed to the flange part at the rear of the roof. At this time, a bulging portion is formed on the hook so that the bag portion is raised and the raised bag portion covers the flange portion together with the weather strip attached to the flange portion. Therefore, when the weather strip is attached to the flange portion, the flange portion is covered and hidden by the weather strip and the bag portion raised in a raised state by the bulging portion. As described above, in the present invention, when the rear part of the lining material is terminal-treated, the flange part is not visible at all as described above.
It is possible to eliminate the unsightly appearance caused by exposing the body as in the conventional example. In other words, the hook, which conventionally functioned only as a means for fixing the lining material, is given a decorative function by the bulge, thereby improving the appearance of the rear part of the roof when the back door is opened. In addition, by defining the shape and size of the bulge so that the bag covering the bulge is integrally continuous with the weather strip, the bulge and the weather strip are flush with each other, and the weather strip is flush with the weather strip. The appearance can be further improved.

[Explanation of Examples]

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. In this figure, the same reference numerals are given to the same members as in the conventional example shown in FIG. 3. In this embodiment, the hook 6 is inserted into the bag 7a of the lining material 7 and hooked to the upper edge 3 of the back door opening, and is attached to the flange 4a of the roof panel 4 by providing a bulging portion 6a. The hook 6 together with the weather strip 8 is configured to prevent the upper edge 3 from being exposed. The other basic configuration is the same as that of the conventional suspended ceiling rear end mounting structure as shown in FIG. The tip of the bulging portion 6a is a weather strip that is attached to the flange portion 4a of the roof panel 4 when the hook 6 is hung on a hook portion 5b formed by cutting and raising the flange portion 5a of the upper panel 5. The weather strip 8 extends diagonally upward to the right in FIG. are doing. That is, the bag portion 7a bulged by the bulge portion 6a is in contact with the weather strip 8 without any gap. Therefore, the rear end portion of the lining material 7 is attached to the flange portion 5a of the upper panel 5 via the hook 6.
When the weather strip 8 is attached to the flange portion 4a of the roof panel 4, the flange portions 4a and 5a are completely covered by the bag portion 7a and the weather strip 8. Even when the flange portions 4a and 5a are opened, the flanges 4a and 5a are not visible from the outside. As described above, in this embodiment, the problems with the conventional structure for attaching the rear end of a suspended ceiling can be solved, and the appearance of the rear part of the roof 1 can be improved when the back door 2 is opened. Furthermore, since the bag portion 7a and the weather strip 8 are flush with each other, the appearance is further improved. Of course, the scope of the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. For example, the present invention can be applied to structures other than the suspension ceiling rear end attachment structure of the above embodiment, and the shape of the bulge can also be modified in various designs other than the above embodiment.
