Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a roof lining for a vehicle.

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 4, an end of a roof lining 4 suspended by a resting wire 3 is attached to a roof side rail 2 located on the inside side of a roof panel 1, and the roof lining 4 is attached to the roof side rail 2. The material is stretched on the inside of the panel 1.

When fixing the end of the roof lining, the stepped and bent shaft end of the retaining wire 3 is fitted into the insertion hole located on the side surface of the roof side rail 2 to support the retaining wire 3. Normally, the end of the roof lining stretched below the insertion hole is wrapped around the lower end of the roof side rail 2 and gripped by the body side weld 5.

However, with this roof lining installation structure,
When stretching the roof lining 4 inside the roof panel 1, the end of the roof lining 4 must be separately wrapped around the lower end of the roof side rail 2 and fixed. Not only is it time-consuming, but there is a risk that the roof lining will sag or wave when the roof lining 4 is rolled up or the body side weld 5 is fitted.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The invention provides a vehicle roof lining mounting structure that can securely wrap and secure the end of the roof lining and also allow the roof lining to be stretched inside the roof panel without much effort. The purpose is to

Means for Solving the Problems In the vehicle roof lining installation structure according to the present invention, a substantially cylindrical bearing portion with an opening facing inward of the vehicle is placed approximately in the mid-belt, and hook-shaped upper and lower flanges are attached to the roof side. The roof lining is equipped with a stopper made of a plate member with a substantially C-shaped cross section that is bent inward at the upper and lower ends so as to be located on the rail side, and the shaft end of the retaining wire is fitted into the bearing part of the stopper. The retaining wire to be suspended and supported is supported by a stopper, and the end of the roof lining is wound inside the stopper from the inwardly bent base of the lower flange, and the end stopper plate attached to the end of the roof lining is lowered. The resting wire and the roof lining are assembled integrally with the stopper by being fitted into the inside of the flange, and the upper flange of the stopper is hooked and fixed to the upper end of the roof side rail, and the lower flange It is constructed by engaging the inwardly bent base with the stepped portion of the roof side rail, and elastically fixing the stopper that wraps around and supports the roof lining to the side of the roof side rail using a retaining wire.

Function This vehicle roof lining mounting structure has
The retaining wire that suspends and supports the roof lining is supported by a stopper, and the end of the roof lining is wound inside the stopper, and the end stopper plate is fitted and locked inside the lower flange, so that it hangs. Not only can the roof lining, which is suspended and supported by a retaining wire be assembled in advance to the stopper to prevent wrinkles or undulations, but also the upper flange of the stopper can be hooked onto the upper edge of the roof side rail and attached to the lower flange. By engaging the inwardly bent base of the roof side rail with the stepped part of the roof side rail, the stopper that wraps around and supports the roof lining can be elastically fixed to the side of the roof side rail using the retaining wire. You will be able to securely install it on the inside with simple work.

Embodiments The following description will be made with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

In this vehicle roof lining mounting structure, as shown in FIG. 1, a roof lining 13 is suspended and supported by a retaining wire 12 between roof side rails 11 located on the left and right sides of a roof panel 10. It has been applied to.

Along the terminal of the roof lining 13,
A band-shaped end stop plate 14 made of relatively hard synthetic resin is attached. In addition, a stopper 15 for bearing the roof lining 13 and the resting wire 12 is attached to the roof side rail 1.
It is attached to 1. As the stopper 15, a plate member formed by bending a thin metal plate having a substantially C-shaped side surface is used as shown in FIG. This stopper 15 is provided with a bearing portion 15b by bulging approximately the midsection into a cylindrical shape with the opening 15a directed toward the inside of the vehicle. Also,
Flange portions 15c and 15d are formed at the upper and lower end portions by inwardly bending them into a hook shape on the side facing the roof side rail 11.

By using this stopper 15, the shaft end of the retaining wire 12 is fitted and fixed from the opening 15a to the bearing part 15b, and the roof lining 1
3 is inwardly bent at the base 1 of the lower flange portion 15c.
5e to the inside of the stopper 15, and the end stopper plate 14 is fitted and locked inside the lower flange portion 15d, thereby securing the resting wire 12.
Furthermore, the roof lining 13 can be assembled integrally with the stopper 15 in advance.

When installing the roof lining 13,
The upper flange part 15c of the stopper 15 is hooked onto the upper end of the roof lining 11, and the inwardly bent base 15e of the lower flange 15d is engaged with the stepped part 11a of the roof side rail 11, so that the stopper 15 is fixed. What is necessary is to arrange the support on the side of the roof side rail 11. With this placement of the stopper 15, the end of the roof lining 13 is wrapped and supported in advance by the stopper 15 together with the end stopper plate 14, so the resting wire 12 is stretched and suspended between the right and left sides of the roof side rail 11. By simply doing this, the stopper 15 can be fixed to the side of the roof side rail 11 with one touch.

In the roof lining installation structure constructed in this way, as shown in FIG. Moreover, since no structural members other than the roof lining 13 are exposed around the roof side rails 11, it can be configured to be aesthetically pleasing.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the vehicle roof lining installation structure according to the present invention, the roof lining can be installed neatly and securely inside the roof panel with extremely simple assembly work.
