Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a sliding roof structure for a vehicle, and more particularly to a structure for mounting a finisher plate in a sliding roof structure for a vehicle that includes a movable lid made of glass or synthetic resin.

Conventional sliding roof structures for vehicles of this type include, for example:
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a movable lid 3 made of glass or synthetic resin is inserted into a roof opening 2 opened at the front of a roof panel 1, and a movable lid 3 made of glass or synthetic resin is inserted between the roof panel 1 and the lower part of this roof panel 1. A lid storage part 6 is formed between the frame 4 disposed on the frame 4, and guide rails 6 extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body are laid on both left and right sides of the frame 4, and a support mechanism 7 is attached to the guide rails 6. There is one in which the movable lid 3 is slidably supported through the vehicle, and the movable lid 3 is slid toward the rear of the vehicle body and stored in the lid storage section 6. In FIG. 2, 1o is a drive wire that drives the movable lid 3, and 11 is a drive wire 1.
A drive motor 12 moves the movable lid 3 forward and backward, and a rear drain 12 is disposed at the lower rear of the movable lid 3 to catch rainwater etc. from the rear edge of the movable lid 3.

In this type, the movable lid 3 is transparent or semi-transparent, so the lower part of the movable lid 3 is placed in front of the frame 4 so that the interior of the vehicle is not completely exposed through the movable lid 3 when the movable lid 3 is closed. A finish plate 9 is provided to close an indoor entrance 8 opened in the room.

And, in Figure 3.4, the line l1l-III in Figure 1 and the line IV-
■As shown in the line cross section, the finisher plate 9 is larger than the opening 8 of the frame 4, and since it is necessary to fit the slider 13 screwed on both sides to the guide rail 6, the movable lid 3 is installed as shown in FIG. Before installation, the finisher plate 9 was bent and assembled. however,
In such an assembly method, when the rigidity of the finisher plate 9 is high, assembly is difficult, and if the finisher plate 9 is bent too much, the finisher plate 9 will be permanently deformed and its function as an interior decoration member will deteriorate. On the other hand, when the rigidity is low, although assembly becomes easier, there is a drawback that the quality of the assembly is poor, such as the center portion of the rear finisher plate 9 sagging downward.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and aims to improve the workability of assembling the finisher plate to the guide rail while ensuring the rigidity of the finisher plate. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention engages the locking pins provided upright on both sides of the finisher plate with the locking holes formed in the base of the slider, so that the slider is not fitted into the guide rail. The finisher plate has a first holding part for temporarily fixing it to the finisher plate, and a second holding part for final attachment in which the slider end protrudes into the guide rail. It is designed so that it can be assembled to the guide rail without bending.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiment. As shown schematically in FIG. This guide rail 6.6 allows the finisher plate 9 to slide freely in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. It is slidable from a position where it blocks the incident light from 3 to a position where it is slid toward the rear of the vehicle body and releases the shielding state.

Therefore, in the present invention, the finisher plate 9 is not directly engaged with the channel portion 6a of the guide rail 6.6, but the slider 15. 15, 16, and 16 are provided in a protruding manner, and the distal end portions 16 of the sliders are slidably engaged with the channel portions 6a of the guide rails 6, 4-6, respectively.

The slider 16 is made of synthetic resin, as shown in FIG. Elastic tongue pieces 17.17 are provided from both ends to protrude toward the center in the width direction, and the elastic tongue pieces 8.8 are elastically deformed by an external force in the direction of arrow C, and the tip 16 of the slider 15 is aligned with the guide rail. 6.6, the elastic tongue piece 17.17 comes into pressure contact with the side wall portion 6b of the channel portion 6a.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, an abbreviated locking hole 20 for fixing is bored in the base of the slider. This locking hole 20 includes a large diameter portion 21 into which a large diameter head 14d of a locking pin 14 (to be described later) can be inserted, and three elastic tongues that are connected to the large diameter portion 21 and protrude inwardly from the inner edge of the locking hole 20. The space surrounded by the pieces 22, 23, and 24 is a first holding part 26 having a smaller diameter than the large diameter part 21, and the recess 26 and the elastic tongue piece 24, which are also provided on the base 18 side of the locking hole 20, serve as the first holding part 26. It has a second holding part 27 having approximately the same diameter as the part 26.

On the other hand, the finisher plate 9 described in 01J is made by adhering a pad 9b, a skin 9c, etc. to a metal substrate 9a, and decoratively covering the bottom side of the substrate 9a. It has a locking pin 14 for fixing the slider 16.

That is, the locking pin 14 has a small-diameter neck portion 14c extending upward from the flange plate 14a and a large-diameter head portion connected thereto by fitting the attachment portion 14b projecting downward from the flange plate 14a onto the base plate 11. 14d to protrude.

Therefore, in order to fix the slider 16 to the fixing plate 9, the large diameter head 14d of the locking pin 14 protruding from the substrate 11 is inserted into the large diameter portion 21 of the end of the locking hole 2o for fixing of the slider 16. Insert the large diameter head 14d into the same opening 2.
1, and from this state, the small diameter neck part 14c of the locking pin 14 is moved to the first holding part 26 which is continuous with the large diameter part 21.
When the base 14c is brought to the position A shown in the dashed dot line, the small diameter base 14c is held by the three elastic tongues 22, 23, and 24 forming the first holding part 26, and is in a temporarily fixed state. becomes.

Furthermore, if the small-diameter neck portion 14c is strengthened from the above state to the second holding portion 27 which is the inner side of the first holding portion 26, and is brought into the position B shown by the two-dot chain line in the figure, the neck portion 14c will be moved to the elastic tongue piece. 24, and the base 18 of the slider is held between the lower surface of the large diameter head 14d and the flange plate 14a.
The slider 16 is fixed to the finisher plate 9.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, the slider 16 fixed to the rear side of the finisher plate 9 has an elastic stopper 28 at its tip 16 projecting toward the rear of the vehicle body, and the stopper 28 has a locking protrusion. The guide rail 6 has a sunshade locking part 6c and a daylight locking part 6d, which are formed in a channel part or the like, so that the guide rail 28a is removably locked, as shown in FIG. As clearly shown in the same figure and FIG. It is held in a position that blocks incident light.

Next, by sliding the plate 9 using the knob 29 shown in FIG. 3.6 in the direction of arrow F in FIG. 9 is moved, the elastic stopper 28, which has come into sliding contact with the inner surface of the upper side of the guide rail 6 and comes into sliding contact with the upper inner surface of the guide rail 6, is locked with the daylighting locking part 6d, and the elastic stopper 28 is moved through the lid 3. Lighting will be ensured.

As embodied by the above-mentioned embodiment, the present invention is provided in a sunroof vehicle in which the opening 2 provided in the roof panel 1 can be opened and closed by a translucent lid 3, and the opening 2 is provided on the left and right sides of the frame on the back side of the roof panel 1. A pair of guide rails 6 . The large diameter portion 21 through which the large diameter portion 2 is inserted, and the large diameter portion 2
By providing a second holding part 27 which is elastically supported by an elastic tongue piece 24 through a first holding part 26 for temporary fixing which is continuous with the slider 16, the slider 16 is fixed while protruding from the finisher plate 9. Since the tip portion 16 of the slider is slidably engaged with the pair of guide rails 6.6, the slider can be easily engaged with the locking pin 14 and the fixing hole 2o without using screws or the like. Since it can be fixed by a fitting operation, the assembly work can be performed easily and quickly, and the finisher plate 9 can be assembled without bending, making the assembly easy and preventing permanent deformation of the finisher plate 9. Since the attachment does not sag at the back, you can obtain a high quality finisher plate.
