DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a room lamp which also serves as a temporary holding of a molded ceiling for a vehicle, and more specifically, to a ceiling base material and a skin material joined to a surface side of the ceiling base material. Press-molding the molded ceiling made of a desired shape, and forming a room lamp mounting hole at a required portion of the molded ceiling; forming a room lamp hole on the roof panel side; The present invention relates to a room lamp mounting structure in which a molded ceiling is temporarily held in a room lamp hole formed on a roof panel side using a lamp hole, and a room lamp is mounted in the room lamp hole and the room lamp mounting hole.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, molded ceilings have been used as interior ceilings of vehicles and the like, and those using synthetic resin, cardboard, resin felt, or the like as a ceiling base material of these molded ceilings are known. A skin material is joined to the ceiling base material to form a molded ceiling. A mounting hole for a room lamp, a mounting hole for a sun visor, a mounting hole for a room mirror, a mounting hole for an assist grip, and the like are formed in the molded ceiling.

As shown in FIG. 5, a mounting hole 5 for a room lamp is formed in a required portion of a molded ceiling 1 press-formed into a desired shape, and a room lamp hole 11 is formed in a roof bow 9 on a roof panel 7 side. Using the room lamp mounting hole 5 and the room lamp hole 11, the molded ceiling 1 is temporarily held in the room lamp hole 11 formed in the roof bow 9 on the roof panel 7 side.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, an end 1a of the molded ceiling 1 is temporarily held by a screw 17 at a position of a pillar 18 of an indoor panel 13 inside an outdoor panel 12 on a vehicle body side, or FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, it is possible to form a locking piece 15 protruding from the indoor panel 13 and lock the end 1 a of the molded ceiling 1 to this locking piece 15, but the protrusion amount of the locking piece 15 is increased. Therefore, a reliable locking state cannot be obtained.

When the room lamp 19 is screwed to the roof bow 9 via the room lamp mounting hole 5 or the sun visor, the room mirror mounting hole, the assist grip mounting hole, etc. When screwing the mirror and the assist grip, etc., the molded ceiling 1 will not be stable unless at least one of them is fixed,
There was a risk that the molded ceiling 1 would fall. For this reason, the molded ceiling 1 is pushed up from below by an operator, or temporarily held by a clip-shaped jig, and then in a regular fixed state.

When the room lamp 19 is fixed with a screw 20 as a means for temporarily holding the molded ceiling 1, as shown in FIG.
Are fixed to the surface of a substrate 19a of the housing, and a lens cover 19b is attached to the housing.

[0007]

However, the molded ceiling 1
When using a screw 17 and the screw 20 of the room lamp 19, the screw fixing operation is complicated, and when a clip-shaped jig is used, a clip-shaped jig must be created. However, the work of attaching or removing these jigs is required, and the work is complicated, and the work efficiency cannot be improved. Further, when the locking pieces 15 are formed so as to protrude from the indoor panel 13 on the side of the vehicle body, the dimensional accuracy of the molded ceiling 1 is required.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a room lamp mounting structure which is capable of securely holding a molded ceiling temporarily, and which can easily and quickly mount the molded ceiling and a room lamp, and which is excellent in workability and economy. Is what you do.
