Description

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

This invention relates to the roof structure of an automobile. Specifically, by installing a suspended ceiling and a molded ceiling on the roof, accessories such as sun visors can be attached to the roof with a good appearance, and the work of assembling the roof head lining is improved. Concerning those configured to improve.

[Prior art and its problems]

The roof of an automobile is lined with a roof head lining to improve the aesthetics of the interior of the vehicle, improve passenger safety, and to provide heat and sound insulation, and the most common types include suspended ceilings and molded ceilings. Suspended ceilings are constructed by suspending a lining material made of vinyl leather, fabric, etc. by running a resting wire between the roof side rails on both sides of the roof.
It is attached by fixing the ends of the lining material to the ends of the roof. Further, the molded ceiling is provided by fastening a molded ceiling material of a predetermined shape together with a room lamp, sun visor, etc., and by supporting the ends of the molded ceiling material at the end of the roof. By the way, the above-mentioned suspended ceiling has the advantage that it has a soft feel and is inexpensive because the roof can be covered with a continuous lining material. On the other hand, in the case of molded ceilings, since the molded ceiling material has a large degree of freedom in shaping, it is possible to provide recessed storage areas at predetermined positions and attach accessories such as sun visors in a good-looking manner, and it is also possible to create long ceilings. It has the advantage of maintaining a luxurious feel for a long time. Therefore, the idea is to line the sun visor attachment area, that is, the front part of the roof, with a molded ceiling, and the other areas with a suspended ceiling, which will take advantage of the respective strengths of both while improving the appearance of the roof. It is about improving. For example, it is possible to attach a roof head lining to the roof by simply connecting a pre-formed ceiling material to the front end of the lining material of a suspended ceiling, but such a method poses the following problems. . In other words, suspended ceilings must be assembled to the roof while applying sufficient tension to the lining material to prevent wrinkles.
When attaching a molded ceiling material to a roof, the attachment strength is required to withstand the above-mentioned tensile force. Therefore, in addition to normal fixing means such as clips, it is necessary to add a new member such as a reinforcing member to the roof for attaching the molded ceiling material, and to firmly attach the molded ceiling material to this member, which requires assembly work. It takes time and effort. In addition, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-107678 also proposes the idea of installing a molded ceiling and a suspended ceiling, but the method for joining the suspended ceiling lining material and molded ceiling material shown in the above publication does not allow for assembly. Since the installation work becomes complicated, it cannot be actively adopted. This invention was devised under the above-mentioned circumstances, and it solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, improves the appearance of the roof by installing a suspended ceiling and a molded ceiling, and also improves the appearance of the roof. An object of the present invention is to provide a roof structure for an automobile that is constructed so that assembly work can be easily performed.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following technical measures. In other words, the suspended ceiling lining material is suspended by a plurality of hanging wires that are stretched between the roof side rails, and one end is connected to the supporting member at the end of the roof in the longitudinal direction, and the other end is connected to the supporting member closest to the supporting member. One end of the lining material is towed and supported in a fixed position by the hook wires that are respectively engaged with the resting wires, while the support member is pulled downward from the longitudinal edge of the roof where the support member is located to the one end of the lining material. A molded ceiling material covering the roof is fixed at one end in the front and back direction to the roof component, and the other end in the front and back direction is hung on the above-mentioned staying wire closest to the above-mentioned support member with a hanging member provided on the upper surface thereof. It is installed by fixing it.

[Action and effect]

In this invention, a molded ceiling and a suspended ceiling are installed in a single vehicle, but here,
The function and effect of lining the front part of the roof with a molded ceiling material and the lining material for suspended ceilings behind this will be explained. The suspended ceiling lining material is suspended from the roof by passing the resting wire inserted into the bag part of the suspended ceiling lining material between the roof side rails on both sides of the roof, and the front end of the suspended ceiling lining material is
It is pulled and supported in a fixed position by a support member and a hook wire whose both ends are respectively latched to the frontmost resting wire closest to the support member. In the area where the suspended ceiling lining material is not lined, the front end of the molded ceiling material is fixed to the roof component, and the hanging member provided on the top surface of the molded ceiling material is hooked to the foremost staying wire. The rear end is fixed and it is installed on the roof so as to cover from below the front edge of the roof to the front end of the suspended ceiling lining material. Therefore, by taking advantage of the advantage of molded materials, which have a large degree of freedom in terms of design, for example, if a housing part for a sun visor, which is normally attached to the front of the roof, is provided in advance in the molded ceiling material, it is possible to mount a sun visor on the roof in an attractive manner. Can be installed. In addition, finishing the end of the front end of the lining material for suspended ceilings can be done simply by locking the hook wire to the supporting member and the resting wire, which eliminates the labor-intensive end finishing required in conventional methods. To be released. By the way, as mentioned above, the lining material for a suspended ceiling and the molded ceiling material are not in a direct connection state, so the molded ceiling material must be installed to the extent that it can support the lining material for a suspended ceiling while applying a certain tension. No strength is required. The front end of the molded ceiling material can be fixed by normal terminal processing, and the rear end can be fixed by a very simple method of hooking the hanging member onto the resting wire. From what you can do at work,
In addition to making assembly work easier,
There is no need to newly provide a member on the roof for fixing the rear end of the molded ceiling material. In addition, since the hanging member is provided on the upper surface of the molded ceiling material, there is no problem of the hanging member being exposed inside the car and spoiling the aesthetic appearance. As described above, in the roof structure according to the present invention, accessories can be attached to the roof without damaging the appearance of the roof, and the work of assembling the roof headlining can be performed more easily. This is taken into consideration.
