Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to a locking bracket structure for a sunshade that covers a window on the side wall of the roof of an automobile.

(Prior Art) Various configurations have been devised for automobiles with high roofs to make it easier to get on and off or to accommodate tall objects (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59 -Refer to Publication No. 202933).

When a window for daylighting is provided on the side wall of the roof of such an automobile, a roll-up sunshade may be provided inside the window. At this time, a bracket is fixed to a side rail located close to the lower edge of the window opening, and the sun shade developed to cover the window is locked to the hook of this bracket.

On the other hand, during assembly, the roof of such a vehicle is suspended and lowered onto the side members of the vehicle body. That is, the roof is lowered near the bracket fixed to the side rail, but a gap is always maintained between the two to prevent the roof from getting caught on the bracket. Since the two are not connected, the roof and side rail are only connected at the drip rail, and the strength around the lower edge of the window opening is significantly reduced.

(Purpose of the invention) This invention provides a sunshade locking bracket structure that solves the above-mentioned problems.

(Structure of the invention) This invention provides a vehicle that has a window above the side rail on the side wall of the roof of the vehicle and has a retractable sunshade that covers the window on the passenger compartment side. and a side rail 7 located close to this and consisting of an outer panel 8, an inner panel 9, and a drip rail 10, are connected via a bracket 14, and the lower end 1a of the roof side wall is connected to the drip rail 10, A drainage bead 29 from the weather strip forming a closed section consisting of the roof side wall, the bracket 14, and the drip rail 10 of the side rail 7, and fitting the window glass to the shoulder of the lower edge 1b of the opening of the window 5.
is recessed, and the mountain portion 2 on the back side of the water drainage bead 29 is recessed.
The upper end 14a of the bracket 14 corresponds to the upper end 14a of the bracket 14, and the upper end 14a is provided so as to be able to come into sliding contact with the mountain part 29a when the roof is hung.
4 is a sunshade locking bracket structure characterized in that a locking hook 15 for the retractable sunshade 26 is provided.

(Example) The details of this invention will be described below with reference to an example shown in the drawings.

As shown in Fig. 1, the roof 1 of this automobile
The sunroof 2 is formed to be tall and has a sunroof 2 and its movement guide mechanism 3 on the top, and a window 5 for daylight on the side wall.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, side rails 7 are provided as side members of the vehicle body. This side rail 7 is formed into a closed cross-sectional shape by welding an outer panel 8, an inner panel 9, and a drip rail 10 at their mating flange portions. Then, the lower end 1a of the roof 1 is welded 12 to the drip rail 10.

Further, a bracket 14 having a hook 15 is welded 16 to the upper part of the side rail 7, and the upper end 14a of the bracket 14 and the lower edge 1b of the opening of the window 5 provided on the roof side wall are welded 18, so that the roof side wall and the bracket 14 are welded together. A closed cross section of the side rail 7 and the drip rail 10 is formed in a state where it is arranged in parallel with the side rail 7.

The window 5 has a window glass 24 fitted through a weather strip 22 between the upper edge 1c of the opening of the roof 1 and the lower edge 1b of the opening (the upper end 14a of the bracket is integrally joined). Form.

The retractable sunshade 26 is stored in a spool 27 located on the ceiling of the roof 1, is unrolled from the spool 27, is expanded to cover the window 5, and is latched to the hook 15.

FIG. 3 explains the procedure for assembling the roof 1, and shows how to assemble the roof 1.
are connected, roof 1 is suspended,
Located above the side members of the vehicle body. (Of course, the roof 1 includes the drip rail 10 and the bracket 14.
It is not welded to the upper end 14a. ) The roof 1 has a drainage hole 2 provided in the weather strip 22 at the shoulder 1d of the lower edge 1b of the opening in order to remove rainwater that has entered the fitting part of the window glass 24.
A drain bead 29 is formed to communicate with the drain bead 2a, and when the roof 1 is hung as shown in FIG.
By sliding it in contact with the upper end 14a of the bracket 14 (the tip of the upper end 14a is slightly bent to follow the peak 29a), the left and right positions of the roof 1 are regulated. Then, the roof 1 is lowered (in the D direction) and connected to the drip rail 10 and the upper end 14a of the bracket 14.

(Effect of the invention) This invention is configured as described above, and the roof 1 is connected to the drip rail 10, and
Since the roof 1, the side rail 7, and the bracket 14 are connected to the upper end 14a of the bracket 14,
They are combined with each other to form a closed cross-sectional structure, and the strength around the lower edge 1b of the opening of the window 5 is significantly strengthened. Furthermore, since the bracket 14 is provided with a hook 15 for locking the retractable sunshade 26, the structure is simplified and the number of parts can be reduced.

Furthermore, during roof assembly work, the peak 29a of the drain bead 29 provided on the roof is brought into contact with and slid against the upper end 14a of the bracket 14, so that the left and right position of the roof can be regulated without special tools. It has the advantage that it can be done without using it and yet accurately.
