Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the body structure of an automobile, and more particularly to the roof structure of an automobile of a pickup (truck) type and having a roof.

In a pickup type car, the roof part is 1
One piece for the side rails on both sides, the front rail that supports the upper edge of the windshield, the rear rail, etc. It is usually constructed by combining two leaf panels.

However, if you create an opening in a pickup type roof structure like the one above to create a Sun I roof structure,! Reinforcing bone members must be placed around the inside edge of the opening provided in the roof panel I, and the roof surface of the pick-up type, which has a relatively small area, is made even narrower by providing the opening for the roof panel I. However, having to surround the outer periphery and the entire opening with various types of reinforcements and reinforcing bone members is structurally complex, and the installation work is troublesome. However, there are still problems that cannot be said to be sufficient.

In addition, in cases where two openings are provided in parallel on the left and right sides of the vehicle body, conventionally it has been common practice to omit the side openings on the sides of the vehicle body in order to improve the appearance. Because there is 1
This is disadvantageous in terms of strength, and countermeasures are desired.

The present invention 11 is intended to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in the figure, the 1111 Leff panel is
An IJ opening 2 is formed in the opening 1, and a drip rail 3 is constructed around the entire circumference lζ at the periphery of the opening.

4 and 5 show the fl front rail and the rear rail, 6 is the sight rail, these are configured in a closed section by joining the upper and lower panels, . 6
It is connected and supported by welding or the like to a side drip rail 7 which is formed protrudingly on the outside of the side.

and! As shown in Fig. 4, the water in the side drip rail 3 flows into the side drip rail 7, and from there it flows to the outside. It is designed to be ejected.

The upper panel 4a of the front rail 4 and the lower panel 5a of the rear rail 5 extend from the rear end and front end of each rail 4 and 5, respectively, as shown in FIGS. It is joined to the peripheral edge of the opening 2 formed in the leaf panel 1, that is, the lower surface of the drip layer 3, and is fixed by welding or the like, so that the entire leaf is formed into a closed cross section by the drip layer 1 and the extension. There is.

As shown in FIG. 4, the inner end of the sight rail 6 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the side edge of the opening 2 by welding or the like on the side part of the I-leaf panel 1, and as a result, the I-leaf panel 1 is The structure has a closed cross section from the opening peripheral edge to the front, rear, left and right ends, and the strength and rigidity are significantly improved.

In the illustrated embodiment, the upper spring I4 of the front rail I4
a and rear spring I, 5's lower spring I, and 5a as integrated spring I.
A front tray I is installed on the lower surface of the front end of the panel.
The lower spring 4b is joined and fixed to form a closed section front rail 4, and the upper surface of the rear end of the spring I is joined and fixed to form a closed cross section rear rail. 5 is shown.

A lid 8 made of glass or the like is removably attached to the opening 2 of the leaf panel 1.

As shown in FIG. 4, the outer side end portion thereof is configured to cover the upper surface of the side portion of the roof spring 1 in the vicinity of the side drip rail 7 and almost contact the upper surface of the roof spring 1. The appearance is the same as the conventional structure without the sight rail as shown in the first diagram, and the side rails 6 ensure sufficient strength on the side of the I rail, and there are no aesthetic problems. has been resolved.

In the drawing, 8a is an edge member made of, for example, relatively hard synthetic resin, which is fitted to the end face of the lid 8 when it is made of glass, and 9 is an edge member which is interposed between the end of the drip rail 3 and the inner surface of the lid 8. Shows weather stripping.

In the illustrated embodiment, there are 11 front rails and 4 upper springs.
4 shows an example in which the lower springs of the front rail 5 and the lower spring 1 of the rear rail 5 are extended and fixed to the lower part of the periphery of the opening. Any of the upper and lower springs constituting the rear rail 5 may be extended.

As described above, according to the present invention, either the upper or lower springs constituting the front relay I and the rear relay I.
Configure that end by extending it! Lefpane! It is connected and fixed by welding etc. to the lower surface of the periphery of the opening provided in the
The front and rear ends are fixed to the front rail and rear rail respectively! Attach the side edge of the leaf panel I to the side lay I.
By constructing a structure in which a side rail I is connected and fixed to the side drip rail formed at the outer end, and the inner end of the side rail I is fixed to the lower surface of the side edge of the roof panel opening, By forming the entire I-leaf into a closed cross-section structure, its strength and rigidity can be significantly improved. Let me extend it to a close position! By configuring it to cover the upper surface of the side portion of the leaf panel I, the appearance can be greatly improved, and this can bring about a great practical effect.
