Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a canvas mounting structure for a canvas top vehicle.

<Prior Art> Generally, in a canvas top vehicle, the canvas is detachably attached to the body.

As a conventional canvas mounting structure, for example, there is one as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

First, a plurality of holder brackets 2 are fixed to the canvas mounting edge portion of the body 1 at appropriate intervals, and the frame 4 is attached to the engaging hole 2a of each holder bracket 2 and the peripheral edge portion of the canvas 3. The canvas 3 is attached to the body 1 by inserting a plurality of clips 5 attached via the respective.

In addition to this, there is a snap type or a fastener type in which a canvas-side clip is simply hooked on a holder plate fixed in a body and having an inverted L-shaped cross section to hold the engaged state by the canvas tension. .

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, in the conventional mounting structure as described above,
When the canvas shrinks at low temperature (when the tension is too strong), it becomes difficult to attach the canvas and a lot of labor is required to pull the canvas. In addition to the above-mentioned problems, the snap type has a problem that the clip is automatically detached when the tension of the canvas is weakened.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a canvas mounting structure that enables easy attachment / detachment of the canvas and can reliably hold the mounted state.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the canvas mounting structure according to the present invention has a structure in which a canvas in which the roof side canvas and the side canvas are connected by a fastener is attached and detached along the opening edge of the body. A canvas mounting structure for freely mounting, wherein guide rails are laid on the side belt line portion and the pillar portion of the body, and an engaging member slidably engaged with these guide rails is provided on the side canvas. It is characterized in that it is fixed to the lower edge portion and the front edge portion.

<Operation> According to the configuration described above, the engaging member at the front edge of the side canvas is inserted into the guide rail of the pillar portion from above and engaged with the engaging member at the lower rear edge to guide the side belt line portion. If the side canvas is zip-fastened to the roof canvas in this state by inserting it into the rail from the front and engaging it, the canvas can be easily mounted on the body without requiring much labor.

<Embodiment> An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the canvas 3 is detachably attached to the opening of the body 1 by appropriately tensioning it with a frame or a link (not shown).

As shown in FIG. 2, the body 1 is provided with an aluminum rail 6 having a lip groove-shaped cross section on two left and right side belt line portions and a pillar portion. In the illustrated example, the outside of the opening edge of the body 1 is stepwise recessed, the aluminum rail 6 is laterally mounted in the recess 7 with a screw 8, and the inner side of the body 1 located above the aluminum rail 6 is also mounted. A weather strip 10 is attached to each joint flange portion of the panel 9a and the outer panel 9b.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the canvas 3 is made up of two side canvases 3b joined to the roof side canvas 3a by fasteners 11, and the lower and front edges of these side canvases 3b are joined together. An engaging member 12 that is slidably engaged with the above-mentioned aluminum rail 6 is fixedly provided to the section. In the illustrated example, the engaging member 12 is formed of a synthetic resin material in a band shape having an I-shaped cross section (basically) and has a lower edge portion and a front edge portion of the side canvas 3b. It is divided into two and arranged.

The canvas 3 can be stopped by a known means such as a clip at a corner of the lower end of the pillar portion or a portion where the aluminum rail 6 such as the roof and the tailgate is not divided or fixed.

With this structure, when the canvas 3 is attached to the body 1, the canvas 3 in the state where the fastener 11 is first opened and folded is first attached to the aluminum rail 6 of the pillar portion as shown by the chain line in FIG. Insert from above. That is, the engaging member 12 at the front edge of the side canvas 3b
Is engaged with the aluminum rail 6 over its entire length. Next, the engaging member 12 at the lower edge of the side canvas 3b is bent as if it is folded in half and inserted into the aluminum rail 6 of the side belt line portion from the front. On this occasion,
Since the engaging member 12 is a series of flexible members, the entire length of the engaging member 12 can be engaged with the aluminum rail 6 at a stroke by sliding the tip portion thereof. After this, the above-described clip fastening is performed, and finally, the upper edge and the rear edge of the side canvas 3b are fastened with the roof canvas 3a and the fastener 11. As a result, the canvas 3 is securely attached along the opening edge of the body 1 regardless of the tension of the canvas 3. Further, in this embodiment, when tension is applied to the canvas 3, the canvas 3 is pressed against the weather strip 10 as shown in FIG.

On the other hand, when the canvas 3 is removed, it is obvious that the procedure is the reverse of the above, and the description thereof is omitted. When the canvas is not attached, various accessories such as a fog lamp can be attached to the aluminum rail 6 by providing an attachment. Further, it goes without saying that the cross-sectional shapes of the aluminum rail 6 and the engaging member 12 in the above embodiment are not limited to those shown in the drawings and can be changed appropriately. In addition, the engaging member 12
Is not limited to a series, and may be scattered like buttons.

<Effect of the Invention> As described above, according to the present invention, the guide rail is attached to the body side, and the engaging member slidably engaged with the guide rail is attached to the canvas side. Even when the canvas shrinks below,
The canvas can be easily and surely attached to the body without requiring a lot of labor. Further, when the canvas is not attached, the guide rail can be used for other purposes, which is convenient.
