Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a retaining wire fixing structure that uses a roof bow installed on the roof of an automobile in the vehicle width direction to prevent the retaining wire that hangs the headlining from tilting.

Examples of conventional retaining wire fixing structures include those shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, for example. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a roof panel, which is fixed via a drip channel 3 to a roof inside rail 2d of a roof side rail 2 having a box-shaped cross section that extends in the front-rear direction on both left and right sides of the vehicle.

A plurality of hanging bags 5 are arranged in parallel at predetermined intervals on a head lining 4 formed of a PVC sheet or the like and serving as the ceiling of the vehicle. Retaining wires 6 are inserted into each of the plurality of hanging bags 5, and the retaining wires 6 are stretched across both roof side rails 2 in the vehicle width direction and are arranged in parallel as shown in FIG. Further, roof bows 7 installed on both roof side rails 2 are juxtaposed to the resting wire 6, and the roof bows 7 maintain the shape of the roof panel 1.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the resting wire 6 has both end portions 6a connected to the roof side rails
It is inserted into a hole 2a, and is held between rectangular parallelepiped protrusions 2b provided on both sides of the hole 2a to prevent it from tipping. And head lining 4
The left and right ends are glued to the lower flange portion 2c of the roof side rail 2 and fastened with a welt 8, and the front and rear ends are also attached to the front and rear flange portions 1a of the roof panel 1,
1b.

Here, to install Head Lining 4,
A resting wire 6 is inserted into each of the plurality of hanging bags 5 of the head lining 4, and then the resting wire 6 is stretched across both roof side rails 2 to prevent it from tipping with the protrusion 2b. Then, the front and rear ends of the head lining 4 are pulled and adhered to the front and rear flanges 1a and 1b of the roof panel 1,
Next, pull the left and right ends and tighten the roof side rail 2.
It is adhered to the lower flange portion 2c. (Jitsukai 1986
(Refer to Publication No. 62284) However, in such a conventional fixing structure for a resting wire, in order to prevent the resting wire 6 from tilting, only both end portions 6a are held between the projections 2b. , when installing the headlining on the outfitting line, pull the front and rear ends of the headlining 4 to tighten the front and rear flange portions 1.
When adhering to the wires a and 1b, there was a risk that the retaining wire 6 would tilt due to uneven pulling force on the front and rear ends. Further, even after the mounting, there is a risk that the occupant may detach the retaining wire 6 from the protrusion 2b and tilt it due to some kind of impact. When the head lining 4 is tilted, it comes out of its normal position, resulting in poor appearance, and it takes time and effort to adjust it to its normal position.

This idea was created by focusing on the problems of the conventional technology.Resting wires are inserted along the width direction of the vehicle into a plurality of hanging bags arranged in parallel at predetermined intervals on the head lining, respectively. The resting wire is stretched between a pair of roof side rails arranged along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle on both sides of the vehicle width direction, and the resting wire is stretched between the pair of roof side rails. A roof bow is constructed substantially parallel to the roof bow, and a connecting member interposed between the roof bow and the retaining wire prevents the retaining wire from tilting in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The connecting member includes a locking portion that locks to the roof bow, a roughly cylindrical protector portion that extends along the roof bow and through which the harness is inserted, and a suitably configured protector portion that extends from the locking portion in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. A retaining wire having a plurality of fitting recesses provided at intervals, into which the retaining wire is fitted from below, and integrally molded with a holding portion for preventing movement of the retaining wire in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The purpose is to solve the above problems by providing a fixed structure.

This invention will be explained below based on the drawings.

The same reference numerals are given to the same or equivalent members as in the prior art, and redundant explanation will be omitted.

FIGS. 4 to 8 are diagrams showing an embodiment of this invention.

First, to explain the configuration, the roof bow 7 and the resting wire 6 are arranged in parallel at a predetermined interval as in the past, and the connecting member 10 is connected to the roof bow 7 and the resting wire 6 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle at approximately the center in the vehicle width direction. It is installed. This connecting member 10 is as shown in FIG. 5, and has an elongated plate shape, has a locking part 10a in the center that is locked to the roof bow 7, and has resting parts at predetermined intervals from the locking part 10a at both ends. It has a holding part 10b that holds the wire 6. The locking portion 10a projects upward from the plate surface and has a diamond shape.
0a is inserted into a hole 7a bored in the roof bow 7 and is locked therein. The holding part 10b has a C-shaped cross section that opens downward, and has a fitting recess formed therein, into which the retaining wire 6 inserted into the suspension bag 5 is fitted from below and held. It is becoming more and more common. In this way, the retaining wire 6 is prevented from tilting in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle by the connecting member 10.

Further, the connecting member 10 is provided with a cylindrical protector portion 10c at the center, and the roof bow 7
As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the protector portion 10c is mounted on the lamp mounting portion 7b of the lamp mounting portion 7b with the protector portion 10c inserted into the notch hole 7c. A room lamp harness 11 is inserted and wired into this protector portion 10c. Therefore, the room lamp harness 11 will not have its wires cut or its coating peeled off.
No electrical short circuit accidents occur.

Next, a method of attaching the head lining 4 using this connecting member 10 will be explained. First, the retaining wires 6 are inserted into each of the plural hanging bags 5 of the head lining 4. Next, the locking portion 10a of the connecting member 10 is inserted into the hole 7a of the roof bow 7 and locked. And one resting wire 6,
At the same time as it is stretched on the roof side rail 2, it is inserted into one of the holding parts 10b and the protector part 10c is inserted.
Insert the room lamp harness 11 into. Furthermore, another staying wire 6 is stretched over the roof side rail 2 and, at the same time, is inserted into the other holding portion 10b. At this time, the two retaining wires 6 are fixed by the connecting member 10 to prevent them from tilting. The other resting wires 6 are also stretched over the roof side rails 2. Then, the front and rear ends of the head lining 4 are pulled and attached to the front and rear flanges 1a and 1b of the roof panel 1. At this time, even if the pulling force on the front and rear ends of the head lining 4 is uneven, the retaining wire 6 will not tilt, so the head lining 4 is installed in a normal position. Finally, the left and right ends of the head lining 4 are pulled and adhered to the lower flange portion 2c of the roof side rail 2.

Although the holding parts 10b are provided on both sides of the locking part 10a in the explanation, they may be provided only on one side, and the number of holding parts 10b is not limited to two, but three or more may be provided to hold the retaining wire 6. You can also. Further, the locking portion 10a may be of any type as long as it restricts movement of the connecting member 10 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and may have a shape in which the roof bow 7 is clamped and locked from both sides.

As explained above, according to this idea,
When attaching the headlining to the flange part by pulling the front and rear ends of the headlining, even if the pulling force on both ends is uneven, the retaining wire will fit and be held from below into the fitting recess of the holding part of the connecting member. As a result, since it is securely fixed in a predetermined position, there is no possibility of it being tilted, and as a result, the head lining can be easily installed in the correct position. Moreover, by providing a plurality of holding parts, it is possible to hold a plurality of retaining wires at appropriate intervals.
The head lining can be installed in the correct position more reliably. In addition, since the wire harness is inserted through the approximately cylindrical protector part, the harness can be protected and will not cause disconnection or peeling of the coating, and the harness can be placed at a predetermined position. It has the practical effect of being able to do the following.
