BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the illustrated embodiment exemplifies a front pillar and a quarter lining as body interior members, as in FIG. In the case where the end pieces of the body interior member are fixedly fitted together by providing a protrusion similar to that shown in FIG. 6 on the inner surface side, and a clip similar to that shown in FIG. 7 fitted into the protrusion. Indicates. In each drawing, reference numeral 10 is a front pillar, 11 is a quarter lining, 12 is a body panel, and 13 is a clip.

To mount the front pillar 10 and the quarter lining 11, the front pillar 1 is shown in FIG.
0 end portion 10a is located closer to the body panel 12, and the quarter lining 11 end portion 11a is attached to the front pillar 10.
Body panel 1 by overlapping the end portions 10a of the
It is fixed to 2 and fixed.

In this structure for aligning the ends of the members, as shown in FIG. 2, the opening 10b is formed in the front pillar 1.
0 is provided on the end surface, the projecting piece 11b is provided on the inner side of the end of the quarter lining 11, and one clip 13 is provided. The opening 10b is formed in a size that allows a space for inserting the projecting piece 11b and the clip 13, and the end 10a of the front pillar 10 is provided with a step 10c substantially corresponding to the end thickness of the quarter lining 11. Is formed into a thin plate.

The front pillar 10 and the quarter lining 11 have a quarter lining 1 as shown in FIG.
The clip 13 provided in 1 is inserted into the opening 10b of the front pillar 10 and the ends 10a and 11a are overlapped. In this state, the clip 13 is press-fitted onto the body panel 12 so that the end portions 10a of the members 10 and 11 are
11a are both fixed and fixed to the body panel 12 by one clip 13. For this reason, at least the end portion 10a of the front pillar 10 can be firmly fixed and fixed to each end portion 10a and 11a without providing a clip, so that the number of parts can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.

Further, the quarter lining 11 has an end portion 11
a is fitted to the step portion 10c of the front pillar 10 and assembled to the end portion 10a of the front pillar 10. In the step portion 10c of the front pillar 10, the front mounting surfaces of the front pillar 10 and the quarter lining 11 can be made flush with each other and the end portions can be overlapped with each other. You can

In the above-described embodiment, the opening is provided on the front pillar side and the clip is provided on the quarter lining side, but it is also possible to provide the opening in reverse and assemble. Further, although the front pillar and the quarter lining are illustrated as the body interior member, the same applies to the case where other end portions of the adjacent body interior members are aligned and fixed to the body panel with a clip. be able to.

[0016]

As described above, according to the structure for fixing the ends of the body interior members to each other according to the first aspect of the present invention, the openings are provided at the ends of the adjacent members on one side. , The clip is provided at the end of the member on the other side, and the clip is inserted into the opening and the ends are overlapped to be fixedly attached to the body panel. Both can be attached and fixed, and the number of parts and cost can be reduced.

According to the second embodiment of the present invention, the body end-to-end member mutual end-to-end interlocking and fastening structure has a step in which the end portions of adjacent one side members are provided at the end portions of the other side member. Since the respective mounting surfaces can be fitted flush with each other by fitting to the portion, it is possible to achieve a flush surface and maintain a good appearance.
