形成するような寸法形状を有している。Therefore, the present invention divides the roof into three parts, makes the roof disposed in the center removable, and connects the roof fixed to the vehicle body with a connecting member, and the removable roof is arranged so as to cover the member. The above objective is achieved by configuring the device so that it can be attached. That is, in the removable roof device for a car of the present invention, the roof of the car body is formed of a front roof, a center roof, and a rear roof that are separated from each other, and the front roof and the rear roof are fixed to the car body and are attached to the front and rear of the car body. They are connected by a connecting member that extends in the direction and is located at a lower position than the picture roof. The center roof is disposed above the connecting member (1jl), its both sides are in contact with the upper end of the side door, and its front and rear parts are hooked to the front roof and the front distribution roof, respectively. Thus, when the center roof is attached to the vehicle body, the upper surfaces of the center roof, the front roof and the rear roof are It has a size and shape that forms a nearly continuous surface.

At the 14th position, connect the four central parts of the roof with the connecting member 14.
The center roof 11 is placed above the roof by fitting the protrusion 37 into the groove 36 so that the protectors 17 and 17 at the front and rear ends of the center roof 11 abut against the weather strips 22 and 27, respectively. 12
I stayed in vinegar between 13 and 13. When , both sides of the center roof are the upper ends of the side doors (specifically, the sides are at the lath 32
The groove 16a is located in such a position that it is in contact with the upper wall of the It is arranged on the upper side of the member 14 (see Figure 1). In this state, the center roof 11 is fixed to the front roof 12 and rear roof 13 by locking the hook member 39 to the bin 42 and rotating the hook member 39 about the bin in the direction of the arrow in the figure. It turns out. In this way, when the center roof is attached to the vehicle body, the upper surfaces of the center roof 11, front roof 12, and rear roof 13 are at approximately the same height, giving an appearance that is almost continuous and smooth. exhibits.

上有利である。As can be understood from the above-described embodiments, if the roof device of the present invention is used, the front roof and the rear roof are connected by the connecting member, so that the rigidity of the vehicle body can be increased. The center roof is placed so that it covers the connecting member and its both sides are in contact with the upper end of the side door, so when installing the center roof, a sense of unity can be obtained from the roof. It has a better appearance than the structure of the T-G6.2θ model, and since it consists of a single roof, it is easier to attach and detach. In addition, with the center roof, it is sufficient to consider the seal between the front roof and the rear roof at the front and rear edges, and there is no need to seal the inner edge as in the case of the T-par roof structure mentioned above, which is advantageous in terms of rainwater protection. It is.
