Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a roof carrier mounting structure suitable for passenger cars, particularly hard-top cars.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 8 and 9 show an example of a conventional roof roof carrier mounting structure. In these figures, a pair of front and rear carrier bodies 2 are laterally laid on the roof 1, and each carrier body 2 is fixed and supported by supports 3 at both ends thereof. Here, in the figure, 4 is a hook protruding from the support 3, and 5 is a tightening adjustment knob for the hook 4. Reference numeral 6 denotes a drip molding laid along the side edge portion of the roof 1, and the hook 4 is adapted to be hooked at an appropriate position of the drip molding 6.

Further, a roof drip channel 7 is sealed from the roof 1 by a sealer 8. Reference numeral 9 is an outer guide rail, to which the above-mentioned roof drip channel 7 is joined by spot welding or the like. A sealer 10 seals between the roof drip channel 7 and the outer guide rail 9. Reference numeral 11 is a guide rail inner, 12 is a glass channel fixed to the guide rail outer 9 by a screw 13, and 14 is a weather strip mounted and held in the glass channel 12. The door glass 15 is adapted to make elastic contact with the weather strip 14.

The hook 4 is hooked on the drip molding 6 as described above, and the hook 4 can be tensioned / relaxed by appropriately rotating the tightening adjustment knob 5. The carrier body 2 can be fixed at a predetermined position on the roof 1 by operating the tightening adjustment knob 5.

[0005]

By the way, as the door is closed, the door glass 15 moves (closes) along the entrance 16 as shown in FIG. Since the size of the gap G between the approach passage 16 and the lower end of the drip molding 6 depends on the building adjustment (process capability) of the door glass 15, the gap G easily varies. The stable state of the door glass 15 when the door is closed when the weather strip 14 is present is shown by a solid line, and the stable state of the door glass 15 when the weather strip 14 is not present is shown by a chain line. When the gap G varies in this way, and particularly when the gap G becomes small, in the conventional roof carrier mounting structure, the hook 4 that is hooked on the drip molding 6 projects from the lower end thereof, so the gap G Is substantially smaller. In such a case, when the door is closed, the door glass 15 interferes with the hook 4 or is easily lifted up, which may cause water leakage, wind noise or dust intrusion.

As shown in FIG. 10, there is one in which a retainer 17 is joined to the glass channel 12 at an appropriate place by spot welding or the like, and the hook 4 is engaged with the tip of the retainer 17. However, the structure using the retainer 17 cannot secure a sufficient allowance for the hook 4, and there is a risk that the hook 4 may come off the retainer 17. Further, not only rust is easily generated in the welded portion such as the spot welding described above, but since the space of the roof gutter is small, the coating film such as the roof 1 and the sealer 8 are damaged when the hook 4 is inserted, so that water leakage or water leakage may occur. There was a problem such as the occurrence of rust.

In view of the above points, the present invention aims to solve the problems caused by the adjustment of the building of the door glass, and to provide a roof carrier mounting structure for an automobile capable of securely and safely mounting the carrier. .

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the vehicle roof carrier mounting structure according to the present invention, the carrier body is laid horizontally on the vehicle roof via the mounting hooks at both ends thereof, but is laid along the side edges of the roof. The drip molding is provided integrally with the locking member provided inside the drip molding, and the mounting hook is hooked on the locking member.

Further, in particular, the locking member is formed so as to be concave upward or concave downward.

[0010]

[Action]

 According to this invention, since the locking member is provided integrally with and inside the drip molding, the mounting hook is hooked inside the drip molding, thereby fixing the carrier body at a predetermined position on the roof. To be done. In this way, the mounting hook is hooked on the inside of the drip molding, not from the outside, so that the mounting hook and the door glass cannot interfere with each other. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the door glass from being affected by the building adjustment, so that the door glass can always be closed in an appropriate state, and the carrier body can be attached securely and safely.

In the above case, since the locking member is formed integrally with the drip molding, it is possible to secure a sufficient space for mounting the mounting hook and to securely hold the mounting hook. it can.
