Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a roll bar trim support structure for a vehicle that allows the roll bar trim to be reliably supported on the vehicle body even if the width is wide.

In passenger cars without a center pillar, such as two-door hardtops, the strength of the rear end of the roof panel is particularly weak, so generally a roof rail that connects to the rear pillar is provided at the rear end of the roof panel. A roll bar was constructed to ensure safety inside the vehicle. As shown in Figure 1, which is a perspective view of the interior of the roof of a conventional passenger car, and Figure 2, which shows the cross-sectional structure of the rear end of the roof, roof A head lining 2 is provided on the back side of the panel 1 as an interior material, but since a roof rail 3 is joined to the rear end of the roof panel 1, a roll bar trim 4 is provided as an interior material to cover the roof rail 3. It is necessary to connect it to the head lining 2 and install it.

By the way, the roll bar trim 4 has a cantilever structure that is simply suspended from the roof rail 3 via the clip 5, so the front and rear width of the roll bar trim 4 (in Fig. , the length in the left-right direction), the problem is that the installation becomes very unstable.

The present invention has been made in view of the fact that the degree of freedom in the design of the roll bar rim has been restricted due to the above-mentioned problem with the support structure of the conventional roll bar rim, and an object of the present invention is to provide a support structure for the roll bar rim that is free from such problems. With the goal.

The configuration of the roll bar trim support structure of the present invention that achieves this purpose is such that a clip is attached to a roll provided on the underside of the roof rail and clips that engage a hole formed in a roof rail attached to the inside of the rear end of the roof panel. a bracket is formed at the rear end of a head lining that projects upwardly from the rear of the bar trim and is provided inside the roof panel;
The present invention is characterized in that a hanger that engages with the bracket is provided at the front end of the roll bar trim.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the roll bar trim support structure according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. As shown in FIG. 3 showing the appearance of the head lining and roll bar trim according to this embodiment, FIG. 4 a showing the cross-sectional structure of the rear end of the roof, and FIG. A roof rail 12 is joined to the rear end portion, and a rear portion of a roll bar trim 14 that functions as an interior material together with a head lining 13 and covers the roof rail 12 is connected to the roof rail 12 via a clip 15. A reinforcing reinforcement 16 is joined to the rear end of the head lining 13 provided along the back surface of the roof panel 11, which not only ensures the rigidity of the head lining 13 but also functions as a reinforcing material for the roof panel 11. A hanger 18 is protruding from the front end of the roll bar trim 14 and is engaged with a bracket 17 whose base end is fixed to the reinforcement reinforcement 16. Therefore, the front portion of the roll bar rim 14 is supported by a hanger 18 in a connected manner to the rear end of the head lining 13 via a bracket 17 and a reinforcement 16. In this example,
Since the play S is formed when the bracket 17 and the hanger 18 are connected, there is no need to pay much attention to the accuracy of attaching the hanger 18 to the roll bar trim 14. Also, bracket 17
The bracket 17 and the reinforcement reinforcement 16 may be formed as one piece instead of separate parts, or the bracket 17 may be attached directly to the head lining 13. Note that the shapes of the bracket 17 and hanger 18 are not limited to those of this embodiment.
In short, any shape may be used as long as the hanger 18 is engaged with the bracket 17 and the front portion of the roll bar trim 14 is supported by the head lining 13.

In this way, according to the roll bar trim support structure of the present invention, the front and rear of the roll bar trim are connected to the head lining and the roof rail, so even if the front and rear width of the roll bar trim is set wide, the roll bar trim can be stably supported. This greatly expands the degree of freedom in design.
