Description

着脱ルーフ付き車体構造Vehicle structure with removable roof
　本発明は、車体のルーフにルーフ開口部が設けられ、ルーフ開口部に着脱自在に着脱ルーフが設けられ、着脱ルーフのソフトトップでルーフ開口部を覆う着脱ルーフ付き車体構造に関する。 The present invention relates to a vehicle body structure having a roof opening portion provided in a roof of a vehicle body, a detachable roof provided in the roof opening portion detachably, and a soft top of the detachable roof covering the roof opening portion.
　着脱ルーフ付き車体構造として、車体のルーフ開口部に着脱ルーフが着脱自在に取り付けられ、ルーフ開口部から取り外した着脱ルーフを折畳み可能に構成したものが知られている（例えば、特許文献１参照。）。この着脱ルーフは、骨格部材（フロントアーム、リヤアーム）で幌布などのソフトトップを支持することにより形成された着脱可能なルーフである。フロントアームおよびリヤアームを折畳み可能な可動式に形成することにより着脱ルーフを畳むことができる。よって、畳んだ着脱ルーフの格納空間を小さく抑えることが可能である。 As a vehicle body structure with a detachable roof, a detachable roof is detachably attached to a roof opening of the vehicle body, and a detachable roof that is detached from the roof opening is configured to be foldable (see, for example, Patent Document 1). ). The removable roof is a removable roof formed by supporting a soft top such as a hood with a frame member (front arm, rear arm). The removable roof can be folded by forming the front and rear arms in a foldable and movable manner. Therefore, it is possible to keep the storage space of the folded removable roof small.
　しかし、特許文献１に開示されている着脱ルーフは、着脱ルーフを畳んで収納するために、可動式のフロントアームおよびリアアームを設けている。このため、フロントアームやリアアームで構成される骨格部材の構成が複雑になる。骨格部材の構成を簡素にする手段として、フロントアームやリアアームに代えて可撓性を有するワイヤ部材を設けることが考えられる。ワイヤ部材を弾性変形させることにより着脱ルーフを畳むことが可能である。 However, the removable roof disclosed in Patent Document 1 is provided with a movable front arm and a rear arm in order to fold and store the removable roof. For this reason, the structure of the frame member constituted by the front arm and the rear arm becomes complicated. As means for simplifying the structure of the framework member, it is conceivable to provide a flexible wire member instead of the front arm and the rear arm. It is possible to fold the detachable roof by elastically deforming the wire member.
　着脱ルーフにワイヤ部材を設けた場合、ルーフ開口部および着脱ルーフ間の密封性（シール性）を保つためにワイヤ部材に下向きの押付力を発生させることが要求される。ワイヤ部材の下向き押付力を利用してルーフ開口部側のシール部材にソフトトップを好適に当接できるので、ルーフ開口部および着脱ルーフ間の密封性（シール性）を保つことが可能となる。しかし、ワイヤ部材の押付力を利用してルーフ開口部側のシール部材にソフトトップを好適に当接させた場合、ソフトトップがシール部材で上方に押し上げられ、着脱ルーフの外観性を良好に維持する工夫が要求される。 When the detachable roof is provided with a wire member, it is required to generate a downward pressing force on the wire member in order to maintain the sealing property between the roof opening and the detachable roof. Since the soft top can be suitably brought into contact with the seal member on the roof opening side by utilizing the downward pressing force of the wire member, it is possible to maintain the sealability (sealability) between the roof opening and the removable roof. However, when the soft top is suitably brought into contact with the seal member on the roof opening side using the pressing force of the wire member, the soft top is pushed upward by the seal member, and the appearance of the removable roof is maintained favorably. Ingenuity is required.
　さらに、車両のルーフ開口部は、前部がフロントウインドフレームで形成され、後部がロールバーで形成されている。また、着脱ルーフは、骨格部材（フロントアームおよび左右のサイドビーム）で幌布などのソフトトップを支持することにより形成された着脱式のルーフである。左右のサイドビームがルーフ開口部に架け渡されることによりルーフ開口部に着脱ルーフが着脱自在に支持される。着脱ルーフのフロントアームおよびリヤアームは折畳み可能な可動式に形成されている。よって、ルーフ開口部から取り外した着脱ルーフを畳むことにより、畳んだ着脱ルーフの格納空間を小さく抑えることが可能である。 Furthermore, the roof opening of the vehicle is formed at the front by a front window frame and at the rear by a roll bar. Further, the detachable roof is a detachable roof formed by supporting a soft top such as a hood with a frame member (a front arm and left and right side beams). The detachable roof is detachably supported at the roof opening by the left and right side beams being bridged over the roof opening. The front and rear arms of the removable roof are formed in a foldable and movable manner. Therefore, it is possible to keep the storage space of the folded removable roof small by folding the removable roof removed from the roof opening.
　このように、上記ワイヤ部材に下向きの押付力を発生させるためには、ワイヤ部材の左右の端部を左右のサイドビームに連結して、左右のサイドビームを車幅方向外側に引っ張った状態でルーフ開口部に取り付けることが要求される。このため、ルーフ開口部に左右のサイドビームを係止する手段として、車体前後方向に延びる係止ピンを用いることが好ましい。車体前後方向に延びる係止ピンを用いることにより、左右のサイドビームがワイヤ部材の復元力（引張力）で車幅方向内側に戻ることを防止できる。 As described above, in order to generate a downward pressing force on the wire member, the left and right ends of the wire member are connected to the left and right side beams, and the left and right side beams are pulled outward in the vehicle width direction. It is required to attach to the roof opening. For this reason, it is preferable to use a locking pin extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body as a means for locking the left and right side beams to the roof opening. By using the locking pin extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, it is possible to prevent the left and right side beams from being returned inward in the vehicle width direction by the restoring force (tensile force) of the wire member.
　しかし、ルーフ開口部に着脱ルーフが取り付けられた状態において、ワイヤ部材の引張力が左右のサイドビームを経て係止ピンに作用している。すなわち、ワイヤ部材の引張力が、係止ピンに対して直交する方向（係止ピンの移動方向に対して直交する方向）に作用している。このため、ルーフ開口部から着脱ルーフを取り外す際に、係止ピンを移動するために比較的大きな操作力で操作する必要があった。 However, in a state where the detachable roof is attached to the roof opening, the tensile force of the wire member acts on the locking pin through the left and right side beams. That is, the tensile force of the wire member acts in the direction orthogonal to the locking pin (direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the locking pin). Therefore, when removing the removable roof from the roof opening, it has been necessary to operate with a relatively large operating force in order to move the locking pin.

　請求項１５に係る発明では、好ましくは、前記第１被ガイド部および前記第２被ガイド部は平行に延出されている。 In the invention according to claim 15, preferably, the first guided portion and the second guided portion are extended in parallel.
　請求項１６に係る発明では、好ましくは、前記第１被ガイド部および前記第２被ガイド部間の距離は、前記ロックピンを前記第１被ガイド部および前記第２被ガイド部に接触させた状態で挿通可能に、前記ガイド部の移動方向に対して直交する方向において前記ロックピンの外径と同等に設定されている。 In the invention according to claim 16, preferably, in the distance between the first guided portion and the second guided portion, the lock pin is brought into contact with the first guided portion and the second guided portion. The outer diameter of the lock pin is set to be equal to the outer diameter of the lock pin in the direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the guide portion so as to be insertable in the state.
　請求項１に係る発明では、ソフトトップに上部シートと下部シートとを備えた。さらに、下部シートをワイヤ部材で室内側に押し付ける（押圧する）ことにより下部シートをシール部材に当接するようにした。下部シートをシール部材に当接することにより、ルーフ開口部およびソフトトップ間の密封性（シール性）を保つことができる。さらに、下部シートをシール部材に当接させることにより、上部シートをシール部材に当接させる必要がない。これにより、上部シートがシール部材で上方に押し上げられることを防止できるので、着脱ルーフの外観性を良好に維持できる。 In the invention according to claim 1, the soft top is provided with the upper sheet and the lower sheet. Further, the lower sheet is brought into contact with the seal member by pressing the inner sheet with the wire member. By bringing the lower sheet into contact with the seal member, sealing (sealing) between the roof opening and the soft top can be maintained. Furthermore, by bringing the lower sheet into contact with the seal member, it is not necessary to bring the upper sheet into contact with the seal member. Thus, the upper sheet can be prevented from being pushed upward by the seal member, and the appearance of the removable roof can be maintained well.
　請求項２に係る発明では、下部シートのシール壁部を上部シートに対して交差する方向に延在し、このシール壁部をシール部材に当接するようにした。上部シートに対して交差させてシール壁部を配置することにより、シール部材がシール壁部に当接する方向（すなわち、シール部材の当接方向）を上部シートに対して傾斜させることができる。これにより、シール部材の当接方向を上部シートに対して直交させた場合と比べて、シール部材で上部シートが上方に押し上げられることを一層良好に防止できる。 In the invention according to claim 2, the seal wall portion of the lower sheet extends in a direction intersecting with the upper sheet, and the seal wall portion is in contact with the seal member. By arranging the seal wall so as to cross the upper sheet, it is possible to incline the direction in which the seal member abuts on the seal wall (that is, the contact direction of the seal member) with respect to the upper sheet. As a result, compared with the case where the contact direction of the seal member is made orthogonal to the upper sheet, the upper sheet can be more favorably prevented from being pushed upward by the seal member.
　請求項３に係る発明では、下部シートの第１シート接合部および第２シート接合部間の幅寸法を、補強部材の第１接合部および第２接合部間の所定距離よりも大きく形成した。さらに、補強部材および下部シートの間で、かつ第１接合部および第２接合部の間にワイヤ部材を配置した。よって、下部シートをワイヤ部材で室内側に付勢することにより、下部シートを室内側に向けて略Ｖ字状に突出させることができる。これにより、下部シートを上部シートに対して交差させることが可能になり、下部シートで略Ｖ字状のシール壁部を簡単に形成することができる。 In the invention according to claim 3, the width dimension between the first sheet bonding portion and the second sheet bonding portion of the lower sheet is formed larger than the predetermined distance between the first bonding portion and the second bonding portion of the reinforcing member. Furthermore, the wire member was disposed between the reinforcing member and the lower sheet and between the first joint and the second joint. Therefore, by biasing the lower sheet to the indoor side by the wire member, the lower sheet can be protruded in a substantially V shape toward the indoor side. This allows the lower sheet to intersect the upper sheet, and the lower sheet can easily form a substantially V-shaped seal wall.
　請求項４に係る発明では、第１接合部および第２接合部のうち第１接合部に上部シートを接合した。第１接合部はソフトトップの縁部に沿って設けられている。よって、上部シートは、ソフトトップの縁部に沿わせて設けられ、ソフトトップの縁部よりも内側の第２接合部に接合されていない。これにより、上部シートを第２接合部や下部シートから上方に離間させる（逃がす）ことができるので、上部シートがシール部材で上方に押し上げられることを一層良好に防止できる。 In the invention according to claim 4, the upper sheet is joined to the first joining portion of the first joining portion and the second joining portion. The first joint is provided along the edge of the soft top. Thus, the top sheet is provided along the edge of the soft top and is not joined to the second joint inside the edge of the soft top. Thus, the upper sheet can be separated (released) upward from the second joint portion and the lower sheet, so that the upper sheet can be more favorably prevented from being pushed upward by the seal member.
　請求項５に係る発明では、シール壁部の内側壁部を、ワイヤ部材に当接する箇所から第２接合部まで延びるように形成した。ここで、走行風などで上部シートに上方への引上げ力が作用した際に、上部シートの引上げ力が第１接合部に入力する。第１接合部に引上げ力が入力することにより、第１接合部とともに下部シートの前縁部に引上げ力が入力する。よって、下部シートがワイヤ部材を軸にして第２接合部を室内側に移動する方向に回転し、内側壁部がシール部材に押し付けられる。これにより、走行風などで上部シールに引上げ力が作用した場合でも、ルーフ開口部およびソフトトップ間の密封性を保つことができる。 In the invention according to claim 5, the inner side wall portion of the seal wall portion is formed so as to extend from the portion in contact with the wire member to the second joint portion. Here, when the upward pulling force acts on the upper sheet by the traveling wind or the like, the pulling force of the upper sheet is input to the first joint portion. When the pulling force is input to the first joint, the pulling force is input to the front edge of the lower sheet together with the first joint. Therefore, the lower sheet is rotated about the wire member in the direction to move the second joint portion to the indoor side, and the inner side wall portion is pressed against the seal member. As a result, even when a pulling force acts on the upper seal due to traveling wind or the like, the sealing property between the roof opening and the soft top can be maintained.
　請求項６に係る発明では、シール壁部の外側壁部を、ワイヤ部材に当接する箇所から第１接合部まで延びる部位で形成した。よって、下部シートをワイヤ部材で室内側に付勢することにより、内側壁部および外側壁部の２つの壁部を形成することができる。これにより、内側壁部および外側壁部の２つの壁部に、それぞれ第１シール部および第２シール部を当接でき、ルーフ開口部およびソフトトップ間の密封性を保つことができる。 In the invention which concerns on Claim 6, the outer side wall part of the seal | sticker wall part was formed in the site | part extended to the 1st junction part from the location contact | abutted to a wire member. Therefore, by biasing the lower sheet to the indoor side with the wire member, it is possible to form two wall portions of the inner side wall portion and the outer side wall portion. Thereby, the first seal portion and the second seal portion can respectively abut on the two wall portions of the inner side wall portion and the outer side wall portion, and the sealing performance between the roof opening portion and the soft top can be maintained.
　請求項７に係る発明では、補強部材および下部シートの間に可撓性を有する充填部材を設けた。よって、下部シートのシール壁部にシール部材を当接した際に、シール壁部がシール部材の反対側に凹むことを充填部材で防止できる。これにより、シール壁部およびシール部材間の密封性を一層好適に保つことができる。さらに、充填部材は可撓性を有する部材であり、折畳みが可能である。これにより、充填部材を折り畳むことによりソフトトップを容易に畳むことができる。 In the invention according to claim 7, the flexible filling member is provided between the reinforcing member and the lower sheet. Therefore, when the seal member abuts on the seal wall portion of the lower sheet, the filling member can prevent the seal wall portion from being recessed on the opposite side of the seal member. Thereby, the sealability between the seal wall and the seal member can be more suitably maintained. Furthermore, the filling member is a flexible member and can be folded. Thus, the soft top can be easily folded by folding the filling member.
　請求項８に係る発明では、ルーフ開口部の開口縁部のうち中央部にワイヤ案内部材を設け、ワイヤ案内部材でワイヤ部材を車体外方で、かつ、下方に向けて案内するようにした。よって、ワイヤ案内部材でワイヤ部材を案内することにより、湾曲状に形成されたルーフ開口部の開口縁部に沿わせてワイヤ部材を配置できる。これにより、湾曲状に形成されたルーフ開口部の開口縁部とソフトトップの縁部との間の間隙を一定に確保でき、ルーフ開口部およびソフトトップ間の密封性を保つことができる。 In the invention according to claim 8, the wire guiding member is provided at the center of the opening edge of the roof opening, and the wire guiding member guides the wire member outward and downward of the vehicle body. Therefore, by guiding the wire member with the wire guide member, the wire member can be arranged along the curved opening edge of the roof opening. Thereby, the gap between the curved opening edge of the roof opening and the edge of the soft top can be kept constant, and the sealing performance between the roof opening and the soft top can be maintained.
　請求項９に係る発明では、ロックピンのガイド部を傾斜させ、ガイド部を着脱式レール側係合部に係合させるようにした。よって、ロックピンをロック解除位置からロック位置まで移動する間に、ガイド部を着脱式レール側係合部に係合させることができる。着脱式レール側係合部にガイド部を係合させることにより、一対の着脱式レールの一方をガイド部で車体外側に移動させることができる。これにより、ロックピンを移動することにより、一対の着脱式レールでソフトトップを張ることができるので、ソフトトップを張るための作業性を向上させることができる。 In the invention according to claim 9, the guide portion of the lock pin is inclined, and the guide portion is engaged with the removable rail side engaging portion. Therefore, the guide portion can be engaged with the removable rail side engaging portion while the lock pin is moved from the unlocked position to the locked position. By engaging the guide portion with the removable rail side engaging portion, one of the pair of removable rails can be moved to the vehicle body outer side by the guide portion. As a result, by moving the lock pin, the soft top can be stretched by the pair of removable rails, so the workability for stretching the soft top can be improved.
　さらに、ロックピンをロック位置からロック解除位置まで移動する間に、ガイド部を着脱式レール側係合部に係合させることができる。ここで、ソフトトップが張られた状態に保たれているので、ソフトトップによる引張力が一対の着脱式レールの一方に作用している。よって、ガイド部を着脱式レール側係合部に係合させることにより、ソフトトップによる引張力の分力をロック解除方向へ向けてガイド部に作用させることができる。このように、ソフトトップによる引張力の分力を利用することによりロックピンを比較的小さな操作力でロック解除方向に移動させることができる。これにより、ルーフ開口部から着脱ルーフを取り外す際にロックピンの操作力を軽減できるので、着脱ルーフを取り外すための作業性を向上させることができる。 Furthermore, while the lock pin is moved from the lock position to the lock release position, the guide portion can be engaged with the removable rail side engaging portion. Here, since the soft top is maintained in a stretched state, a tensile force by the soft top acts on one of the pair of detachable rails. Therefore, by engaging the guide portion with the removable rail side engaging portion, the component force of the tensile force by the soft top can be made to act on the guide portion in the unlocking direction. Thus, the lock pin can be moved in the unlocking direction with a relatively small operating force by utilizing the component force of the tension by the soft top. As a result, the operating force of the lock pin can be reduced when removing the removable roof from the roof opening, so that the workability for removing the removable roof can be improved.
　請求項１０に係る発明では、ロックピンの停止部をロックピンの移動方向に延出させ、停止部をロック位置において着脱式レール側係合部に係合させるようにした。よって、ソフトトップによる引張力の分力がロックピンの移動方向へ向けて停止部に作用することを防止できる。これにより、ソフトトップによる引張力でロックピンが移動方向に変位することを防いで、ロックピンをロック位置に安定させて保持できる。 In the invention according to claim 10, the stop portion of the lock pin is extended in the moving direction of the lock pin, and the stop portion is engaged with the removable rail side engaging portion at the lock position. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the component of the tensile force by the soft top from acting on the stop in the moving direction of the lock pin. As a result, the lock pin is prevented from being displaced in the moving direction by the tensile force of the soft top, and the lock pin can be stably held at the lock position.
　請求項１１に係る発明では、着脱式レール側係合部の被ガイド部をガイド部と同じ方向に傾斜させた。これにより、被ガイド部にガイド部を配置することにより、ソフトトップによる引張力の分力を利用してロックピンをより良好にロック解除方向に移動させることができる。 In the invention according to claim 11, the guided portion of the removable rail side engaging portion is inclined in the same direction as the guide portion. Thus, by arranging the guide portion in the guided portion, it is possible to move the lock pin in the unlocking direction better by utilizing the component force of the tensile force by the soft top.
　請求項１２に係る発明では、着脱式レール側係合部の被停止部を、停止部と同様にロックピンの移動方向に延出させた。よって、被停止部に停止部を配置することにより、ロックピンが移動方向に変位することを確実に防ぐことができる。これにより、ロックピンをロック位置に安定させてより確実に保持できる。 In the invention according to claim 12, the stopped portion of the detachable rail side engaging portion is extended in the moving direction of the lock pin as in the case of the stopping portion. Therefore, the lock pin can be reliably prevented from being displaced in the moving direction by arranging the stop portion in the stopped portion. Thereby, the lock pin can be stabilized in the lock position and held more securely.
　請求項１３に係る発明では、ロックピンの外表面にガイド部を形成した。さらに、着脱式レール側係合部を挿通孔で形成し、挿通孔の内周面に被ガイド部を形成した。よって、ロックピンの外表面を利用してガイド部を形成し、挿通孔の内周面を利用して被ガイド部を形成できる。これにより、ガイド部および被ガイド部を簡単な構成で形成できるので構成の簡略化を図ることができる。 In the invention according to claim 13, the guide portion is formed on the outer surface of the lock pin. Furthermore, the detachable rail side engaging part was formed by the penetration hole, and the to-be-guided part was formed in the internal peripheral surface of the penetration hole. Therefore, a guide part can be formed using the outer surface of a lock pin, and a to-be-guided part can be formed using the internal peripheral surface of a penetration hole. Thus, the guide portion and the guided portion can be formed with a simple configuration, so that the configuration can be simplified.
　請求項１４に係る発明では、被ガイド部として第１被ガイド部と第２被ガイド部とを備えた。第１被ガイド部は、ガイド部のうち一対の着脱式レールの他方側で、かつ車体側ルーフレール側の部位を案内できる。また、第２被ガイド部は、ガイド部のうち一対の着脱式レールの他方とは反対側で、かつ車体側ルーフレールとは反対側（すなわち、着脱式レール側）の部位を案内できる。これにより、第１被ガイド部および第２被ガイド部でガイド部の両側を案内できるので、ガイド部（すなわち、ロックピン）をより円滑に案内することができる。 In the invention according to claim 14, the first guided portion and the second guided portion are provided as the guided portions. The first guided portion can guide a portion on the vehicle body side roof rail side on the other side of the pair of detachable rails of the guide portion. The second guided portion can guide a portion of the guide portion opposite to the other of the pair of removable rails and on the opposite side to the vehicle-side roof rail (that is, the removable rail side). Thereby, since both sides of a guide part can be guided by the 1st to-be-guided part and the 2nd to-be-guided part, a guide part (namely, lock pin) can be guided more smoothly.
　さらに、被停止部として第１被停止部と第２被停止部とを備えた。第１被停止部は、停止部のうち一対の着脱式レールの他方側で、かつ第１被ガイド部よりも車体側ルーフレールとは反対側（すなわち、着脱式レール側）に設けられた部位を保持できる。また、第２被停止部は、停止部のうち一対の着脱式レールの他方とは反対側で、かつ第２被ガイド部よりも車体側ルーフレール側に設けられた部位を保持できる。これにより、第１被停止部および第２被停止部で停止部の両側を保持できるので、停止部（すなわち、ロックピン）をロック位置に安定させて一層確実に保持できる。 Furthermore, the first to-be-stopped portion and the second to-be-stopped portion are provided as the to-be-stopped portions. The first to-be-stopped portion is a portion provided on the other side of the pair of removable rails of the stopping portion and on the opposite side to the vehicle-side roof rail (that is, the removable rail side) than the first guided portion. It can hold. Further, the second to-be-stopped portion can hold a portion of the stopping portion opposite to the other of the pair of detachable rails, and a portion provided closer to the vehicle side roof rail than the second to-be-guided portion. Thus, both sides of the stopping portion can be held by the first and second stopped portions, so that the stopping portion (that is, the lock pin) can be stabilized at the lock position and can be held more reliably.
　加えて、第１被停止部を、挿通孔のうち一対の着脱式レールの他方側で、かつ第１被ガイド部よりも車体側ルーフレールとは反対側に設けた。また、第２被停止部を、挿通孔のうち一対の着脱式レールの他方とは反対側で、かつ第２被ガイド部よりも車体側ルーフレール側に設けた。よって、ガイド部が被ガイド部に係合しているときに、ガイド部が被停止部に係合することを防止できる。これにより、ガイド部の移動を被停止部で抑える虞がなく、ガイド部（すなわち、ロックピン）を円滑に案内することができる。 In addition, the first to-be-stopped portion is provided on the other side of the pair of detachable rails in the insertion hole and on the opposite side of the first to-be-guided portion to the vehicle-side roof rail. Further, the second to-be-stopped portion is provided on the side opposite to the other of the pair of detachable rails in the insertion hole and closer to the vehicle side roof rail than the second to-be-guided portion. Thus, when the guide portion is engaged with the guided portion, the guide portion can be prevented from engaging with the stopped portion. As a result, there is no possibility that the movement of the guide portion is restrained by the stopped portion, and the guide portion (that is, the lock pin) can be smoothly guided.
　請求項１５に係る発明では、第１被ガイド部および第２被ガイド部を平行に延出させた。よって、第１被ガイド部および第２被ガイド部でガイド部を同じ方向に支えることにより、ガイド部が第１、第２の被ガイド部に対して傾くことを防止できる。これにより、第１被ガイド部および第２被ガイド部でガイド部を一層円滑に案内することができる。 In the invention according to claim 15, the first guided portion and the second guided portion are extended in parallel. Therefore, by supporting the guide portion in the same direction by the first guided portion and the second guided portion, it is possible to prevent the guide portion from being inclined with respect to the first and second guided portions. Thus, the guide portion can be guided more smoothly by the first guided portion and the second guided portion.
　請求項１６に係る発明では、第１被ガイド部および第２被ガイド部間の距離を、ロックピンの外径と同等に設定し、かつ、第１被ガイド部および第２被ガイド部にガイド部を接触させた状態で挿通可能に設定した。これにより、第１被ガイド部および第２被ガイド部でガイド部を良好に支えることにより、ガイド部が第１、第２の被ガイド部に対して傾くことを防止できる。これにより、第１被ガイド部および第２被ガイド部でガイド部を一層円滑に案内することができる。 In the invention according to claim 16, the distance between the first guided portion and the second guided portion is set to be equal to the outer diameter of the lock pin, and the first guided portion and the second guided portion are guided. It was set to be insertable with the parts in contact. Thus, by properly supporting the guide portion by the first guided portion and the second guided portion, it is possible to prevent the guide portion from inclining with respect to the first and second guided portions. Thus, the guide portion can be guided more smoothly by the first guided portion and the second guided portion.

Can be simplified.
　ロック位置Ｐ１は、図８に示すように、前ロックピン７２の係止部８７が、係合部３２の前係合孔３３に係合する位置である。ロック解除位置Ｐ２は、図１３に示すように、前ロックピン７２の係止部８７が係合部３２の前係合孔３３から解放される位置である。 The lock position P1 is a position where the locking portion 87 of the front lock pin 72 engages with the front engagement hole 33 of the engagement portion 32, as shown in FIG. The unlocking position P2 is a position where the locking portion 87 of the front lock pin 72 is released from the front engagement hole 33 of the engagement portion 32, as shown in FIG.
　図９に示すように、停止部８５は、前ロックピン７２のうち後部８１の外表面において全周に設けられている。停止部８５は、ガイド部８６よりも係合部３２とは反対側において前ロックピン７２の移動方向（矢印Ａ方向）と平行に延出されている。この停止部８５は、図８に示すように、前ロックピン７２がロック位置Ｐ１に配置された状態において被停止部９２に係合するように形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 9, the stop 85 is provided on the entire outer surface of the rear portion 81 of the front lock pin 72. The stopping portion 85 is extended in parallel with the moving direction (the arrow A direction) of the front lock pin 72 on the opposite side to the engaging portion 32 than the guide portion 86. The stop portion 85 is formed to engage with the stopped portion 92 in a state where the front lock pin 72 is disposed at the lock position P1 as shown in FIG.
　図８に示すように、ガイド部８６は、前ロックピン７２のうち中央傾斜部８２の外表面において全周に設けられている。このガイド部８６は、停止部８５の前端８５ａから係合部３２に向かうにつれて右サイドレール４１（図６参照）側に向かって傾斜されている。さらに、図１１に示すように、ガイド部８６は、前ロックピン７２がロック位置Ｐ１からロック解除位置Ｐ２まで移動する間に被ガイド部９１に係合するように形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 8, the guide portion 86 is provided around the entire outer surface of the central inclined portion 82 of the front lock pin 72. The guide portion 86 is inclined toward the right side rail 41 (see FIG. 6) as it goes from the front end 85 a of the stop portion 85 to the engagement portion 32. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11, the guide portion 86 is formed to engage with the guided portion 91 while the front lock pin 72 moves from the lock position P1 to the lock release position P2.
　図９に示すように、係止部８７は、前ロックピン７２のうち前部８３の外表面において全周に設けられている。この係止部８７は、ガイド部８６の前端８６ａから車体前方に向けて前ロックピン７２の移動方向（矢印Ａ方向）と平行に延出されている。さらに、係止部８７は、図８に示すロック位置Ｐ１において前係合孔３３に係合（挿通）され、図１２に示すロック解除位置Ｐ２において前係合孔３３から解放されるように形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 9, the locking portion 87 is provided around the entire outer surface of the front portion 83 of the front lock pin 72. The locking portion 87 extends from the front end 86 a of the guide portion 86 toward the front of the vehicle in parallel with the movement direction (the arrow A direction) of the front lock pin 72. Furthermore, the locking portion 87 is formed so as to be engaged (inserted) in the front engagement hole 33 at the lock position P1 shown in FIG. 8 and released from the front engagement hole 33 at the lock release position P2 shown in FIG. It is done.
　図８に示すように、ロック位置Ｐ１において係止部８７が前係合孔３３に係合した状態において、左サイドレール４１が車幅方向外側（矢印Ｂ方向）に移動される。左サイドレール４１が移動されることにより、ソフトトップ４３（図６参照）が張った状態に保持される。 As shown in FIG. 8, the left side rail 41 is moved outward in the vehicle width direction (arrow B direction) in a state where the locking portion 87 is engaged with the front engagement hole 33 at the lock position P1. By moving the left side rail 41, the soft top 43 (see FIG. 6) is held in a stretched state.
　ここで、左サイドレール４１が車幅方向外側（矢印Ｂ方向）に移動することにより支持軸６４（図７参照）が車幅方向に移動する。一方、係止部８７（すなわち、前ロックピン７２）は前係合孔３３に係合されている。よって、前ロックピン７２と支持軸６４（図７参照）とに車幅方向のずれが生じる。前ロッド７１は、図７に示すように、比較的長尺なロッドであり、ある程度の弾性変形が許容される。これにより、前ロックピン７２と支持軸６４との車幅方向のずれを前ロッド７１の弾性変形で許容することができる。 Here, when the left side rail 41 moves outward in the vehicle width direction (arrow B direction), the support shaft 64 (see FIG. 7) moves in the vehicle width direction. On the other hand, the locking portion 87 (i.e., the front lock pin 72) is engaged with the front engagement hole 33. Therefore, a shift in the vehicle width direction occurs between the front lock pin 72 and the support shaft 64 (see FIG. 7). The front rod 71 is a relatively long rod as shown in FIG. 7 and allows a certain degree of elastic deformation. Thereby, the deviation of the front lock pin 72 and the support shaft 64 in the vehicle width direction can be tolerated by the elastic deformation of the front rod 71.
　前係合部７５は、左サイドレール４１の前サイド部材７４に設けられ、前ロックピン７２が挿通された状態で移動可能に係合される挿通孔である。この前係合部７５は、内周面（すなわち、挿通孔の内周面）に形成された被ガイド部９１および被停止部９２を備えている。このように、前係合部７５を挿通孔として、挿通孔の内周面を利用して被ガイド部９１および被停止部９２を形成することにより、被ガイド部９１および被停止部９２を簡単な構成で形成することができる。 The front engagement portion 75 is an insertion hole provided on the front side member 74 of the left side rail 41 and engaged movably in a state where the front lock pin 72 is inserted. The front engagement portion 75 includes a guided portion 91 and a to-be-stopped portion 92 which are formed on the inner peripheral surface (that is, the inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole). Thus, the guided portion 91 and the stopped portion 92 can be simplified by forming the guided portion 91 and the stopped portion 92 using the front engagement portion 75 as the insertion hole and the inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole. It can be formed in the following configuration.
　図９、図１１に示すように、被ガイド部９１は、前ロックピン７２のガイド部８６と同じ方向に傾斜され、かつガイド部８６と係合する面である。この被ガイド部９１は、第１被ガイド部９１ａと、第２被ガイド部９１ｂとを備えている。第１被ガイド部９１ａは、前係合部７５（すなわち、挿通孔）のうち右サイドレール４１（図６参照）側で、かつ、係合部３２側に設けられている。第２被ガイド部９１ｂは、前係合部（挿通孔）７５のうち右サイドレール４１とは反対側で、かつ係合部３２とは反対側に設けられている。 As shown in FIGS. 9 and 11, the guided portion 91 is a surface that is inclined in the same direction as the guide portion 86 of the front lock pin 72 and that engages with the guide portion 86. The guided portion 91 includes a first guided portion 91 a and a second guided portion 91 b. The first guided portion 91 a is provided on the right side rail 41 (see FIG. 6) side of the front engagement portion 75 (that is, the insertion hole) and on the engagement portion 32 side. The second guided portion 91 b is provided on the side opposite to the right side rail 41 in the front engagement portion (insertion hole) 75 and on the opposite side to the engagement portion 32.
　被ガイド部９１として第１被ガイド部９１ａおよび第２被ガイド部９１ｂが備えられている。第１被ガイド部９１ａはガイド部８６の部位８６ｂを案内でき、第２被ガイド部９１ｂは部位８６ｃを案内できる。部位８６ｂは、ガイド部８６のうち右サイドレール４１（図６参照）側で、かつ係合部３２側の部位である。 A first guided portion 91 a and a second guided portion 91 b are provided as the guided portions 91. The first guided portion 91a can guide the portion 86b of the guide portion 86, and the second guided portion 91b can guide the portion 86c. The portion 86 b is a portion of the guide portion 86 on the right side rail 41 (see FIG. 6) side and on the engaging portion 32 side.
　部位８６ｃは、ガイド部８６のうち右サイドレール４１とは反対側で、かつ係合部３２とは反対側（すなわち、左サイドレール４１側）の部位である。これにより、第１被ガイド部９１ａおよび第２被ガイド部９１ｂでガイド部８６の両部位（両側部）８６ｂ，８６ｃを案内できるので、ガイド部８６（すなわち、前ロックピン７２）をより円滑に案内することができる。 The portion 86 c is a portion of the guide portion 86 opposite to the right side rail 41 and opposite to the engaging portion 32 (ie, on the left side rail 41 side). Thus, both portions (both sides) 86b and 86c of the guide portion 86 can be guided by the first guided portion 91a and the second guided portion 91b, so the guide portion 86 (that is, the front lock pin 72) can be made smoother. It can be guided.
　さらに、第１被ガイド部９１ａおよび第２被ガイド部９１ｂは平行に延出されている。よって、第１被ガイド部９１ａおよび第２被ガイド部９１ｂでガイド部８６を同じ方向に支えることにより、ガイド部８６が被ガイド部９１に対して傾くことを防止できる。これにより、被ガイド部９１（第１被ガイド部９１ａおよび第２被ガイド部９１ｂ）でガイド部８６を一層円滑に案内することができる。 Furthermore, the first guided portion 91a and the second guided portion 91b extend in parallel. Therefore, the guide portion 86 can be prevented from being inclined with respect to the guided portion 91 by supporting the guide portion 86 in the same direction by the first guided portion 91 a and the second guided portion 91 b. Thus, the guide portion 86 can be guided more smoothly by the guided portion 91 (the first guided portion 91a and the second guided portion 91b).
　加えて、図９に示すように、第１被ガイド部９１ａおよび第２被ガイド部９１ｂ間のガイド距離（距離）がＤ１に設定されている。ガイド距離Ｄ１は、第１被ガイド部９１ａおよび第２被ガイド部９１ｂにロックピン７２を接触させた状態で挿通可能となるように前ロックピン７２の外径と同等に設定されている。ガイド距離Ｄ１は、ガイド部８６の移動方向（矢印Ｃ方向）に対して直交する方向の距離である。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, the guide distance (distance) between the first guided portion 91a and the second guided portion 91b is set to D1. The guide distance D1 is set to be equal to the outer diameter of the front lock pin 72 so that it can be inserted in the state where the lock pin 72 is in contact with the first guided portion 91a and the second guided portion 91b. The guide distance D1 is a distance in a direction orthogonal to the moving direction (arrow C direction) of the guide portion 86.
　これにより、第１被ガイド部９１ａおよび第２被ガイド部９１ｂでガイド部８６を良好に支えることにより、ガイド部８６が第１、第２の被ガイド部９１ａ，９１ｂに対して傾くことを防止できる。従って、被ガイド部９１（第１被ガイド部９１ａおよび第２被ガイド部９１ｂ）でガイド部８６を一層円滑に案内することができる。 Thus, by properly supporting the guide portion 86 with the first guided portion 91a and the second guided portion 91b, the guide portion 86 is prevented from being inclined with respect to the first and second guided portions 91a and 91b. it can. Therefore, the guide portion 86 can be guided more smoothly by the guided portion 91 (the first guided portion 91a and the second guided portion 91b).
　図８、図９に示すように、被停止部９２は、前ロックピン７２の移動方向（矢印Ａ方向）と平行に延び、かつ前ロックピン７２の停止部８５と係合する面である。この被停止部９２は、第１被停止部９２ａと、第２被停止部９２ｂとを備えている。第１被停止部９２ａは、前係合部７５（すなわち、挿通孔）のうち右サイドレール４１（図６参照）側で、かつ第１被ガイド部９１ａよりも係合部３２とは反対側に設けられている。第２被停止部９２ｂは、前係合部（挿通孔）７５のうち右サイドレール４１とは反対側で、かつ第２被ガイド部９１ｂよりも係合部３２側に設けられている。 As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the to-be-stopped portion 92 is a surface that extends in parallel with the movement direction (the arrow A direction) of the front lock pin 72 and engages with the stop portion 85 of the front lock pin 72. The stopped portion 92 includes a first stopped portion 92a and a second stopped portion 92b. The first to-be-stopped portion 92a is on the right side rail 41 (see FIG. 6) side of the front engagement portion 75 (that is, the insertion hole) and on the opposite side to the engagement portion 32 than the first guided portion 91a. Provided in The second to-be-stopped portion 92b is provided on the opposite side of the front engagement portion (insertion hole) 75 to the right side rail 41 and closer to the engagement portion 32 than the second to-be-guided portion 91b.
　このように、被停止部９２として第１被停止部９２ａおよび第２被停止部９２ｂが備えられている。第１被停止部９２ａは部位８５ｂを保持でき、第２被停止部９２ｂは部位８５ｃを保持できる。部位８５ｂは、停止部８５のうち右サイドレール４１（図６参照）側で、かつ第１被ガイド部９１ａよりも係合部３２とは反対側（すなわち、左サイドレール４１側）に設けられた部位である。 As described above, the first to-be-stopped portion 92 a and the second to-be-stopped portion 92 b are provided as the to-be-stopped portions 92. The first to-be-stopped portion 92a can hold the portion 85b, and the second to-be-stopped portion 92b can hold the portion 85c. The portion 85b is provided on the right side rail 41 (see FIG. 6) side of the stop portion 85 and on the opposite side to the engaging portion 32 (that is, the left side rail 41 side) than the first guided portion 91a. Site.
　部位８５ｃは、停止部８５のうち右サイドレール４１とは反対側で、かつ第２被ガイド部９１ｂよりも係合部３２側に設けられた部位である。これにより、第１被停止部９２ａおよび第２被停止部９２ｂで停止部８５の両部位（両側部）８５ｂ，８５ｃを保持できるので、停止部８５（すなわち、前ロックピン７２）をロック位置Ｐ１に安定させて一層確実に保持できる。 The portion 85 c is a portion provided on the opposite side of the right side rail 41 in the stop portion 85 and closer to the engaging portion 32 than the second guided portion 91 b. As a result, both portions (both sides) 85b and 85c of the stop portion 85 can be held by the first to-be-stopped portion 92a and the second to-be-stopped portion 92b. Can be stabilized and held more securely.
　さらに、第１被停止部９２ａおよび第２被停止部９２ｂは平行に延出されている。よって、第１被停止部９２ａおよび第２被停止部９２ｂで停止部８５を同じ方向に支えることにより、停止部８５が被停止部９２に対して傾くことを防止できる。これにより、被停止部９２（第１被停止部９２ａおよび第２被停止部９２ｂ）で停止部８５を一層円滑に案内することができる。 Furthermore, the first to-be-stopped portion 92a and the second to-be-stopped portion 92b extend in parallel. Therefore, by supporting the stop portion 85 in the same direction by the first to-be-stopped portion 92a and the second to-be-stopped portion 92b, the stop portion 85 can be prevented from being inclined with respect to the to-be-stopped portion 92. Thereby, the stop part 85 can be guided more smoothly by the to-be-stopped part 92 (the 1st to-be-stopped part 92a and the 2nd to-be-stopped part 92b).
　加えて、第１被停止部９２ａおよび第２被停止部９２ｂ間の停止距離（距離）はＤ２に設定されている。停止距離Ｄ２は、停止部８５を第１被停止部９２ａおよび第２被停止部９２ｂに接触させた状態で挿通可能となるように前ロックピン７２の外径と同等に設定されている。停止距離Ｄ２は、停止部８５の移動方向（矢印Ａ方向）に対して直交する方向の距離であり、ガイド距離Ｄ１と同一である。 In addition, the stop distance (distance) between the first stopped part 92a and the second stopped part 92b is set to D2. The stopping distance D2 is set to be equal to the outer diameter of the front lock pin 72 so that the stopping portion 85 can be inserted in a state where the stopping portion 85 is in contact with the first stopped portion 92a and the second stopped portion 92b. The stopping distance D2 is a distance in the direction orthogonal to the moving direction (arrow A direction) of the stopping portion 85, and is the same as the guide distance D1.
　よって、第１被停止部９２ａおよび第２被停止部９２ｂで停止部８５を良好に支えることにより、停止部８５が第１、第２の被停止部９２ａ，９２ｂに対して傾くことを防止できる。これにより、被停止部９２（第１被停止部９２ａおよび第２被停止部９２ｂ）で停止部８５を一層円滑に案内することができる。 Therefore, the stop portion 85 can be prevented from being inclined with respect to the first and second stopped portions 92a and 92b by supporting the stop portion 85 favorably by the first stopped portion 92a and the second stopped portion 92b. . Thereby, the stop part 85 can be guided more smoothly by the to-be-stopped part 92 (the 1st to-be-stopped part 92a and the 2nd to-be-stopped part 92b).
　また、第１被停止部９２ａは、前係合部（挿通孔）７５のうち右サイドレール４１（図６参照）側で、かつ第１被ガイド部９１ａよりも係合部３２とは反対側に設けられている。さらに、第２被停止部９２ｂは、前係合部（挿通孔）７５のうち右サイドレール４１とは反対側で、かつ第２被ガイド部９１ｂよりも係合部３２側に設けた。 In addition, the first to-be-stopped portion 92a is on the right side rail 41 (see FIG. 6) side of the front engagement portion (insertion hole) 75 and on the opposite side to the engagement portion 32 than the first guided portion 91a. Provided in Further, the second to-be-stopped portion 92 b is provided on the side opposite to the right side rail 41 in the front engagement portion (insertion hole) 75 and closer to the engagement portion 32 than the second guided portion 91 b.
　よって、ガイド部８６が被ガイド部９１（第１被ガイド部９１ａおよび第２被ガイド部９１ｂ）に係合しているときに、ガイド部８６が被停止部９２（第１被停止部９２ａおよび第２被停止部９２ｂ）に係合することを防止できる。これにより、ガイド部８６の移動を被停止部９２で抑える虞がなく、ガイド部８６（すなわち、前ロックピン７２）を円滑に案内することができる。 Therefore, when the guide portion 86 is engaged with the guided portion 91 (the first guided portion 91a and the second guided portion 91b), the guided portion 86 is the to-be-stopped portion 92 (the first to-be-stopped portion 92a and It is possible to prevent engagement with the second stopped portion 92b). Accordingly, there is no possibility that the movement of the guide portion 86 is suppressed by the stopped portion 92, and the guide portion 86 (that is, the front lock pin 72) can be smoothly guided.
　以上説明したように、前ロックピン７２のガイド部８６を傾斜させ、ガイド部８６を前サイド部材７４の前係合部７５に係合させるようにした。よって、前ロックピン７２をロック解除位置Ｐ２（図１３参照）からロック位置Ｐ１まで移動する間に、図１１に示すように、ガイド部８６を前係合部７５に係合させることができる。 As described above, the guide portion 86 of the front lock pin 72 is inclined to engage the guide portion 86 with the front engagement portion 75 of the front side member 74. Therefore, while the front lock pin 72 is moved from the lock release position P2 (see FIG. 13) to the lock position P1, the guide portion 86 can be engaged with the front engagement portion 75 as shown in FIG.
　前係合部７５にガイド部８６を係合させることにより、左サイドレール４１をガイド部８６で車体外側に移動させることができる。これにより、前ロックピン７２を移動することにより、左サイドレール４１でソフトトップ４３（図６参照）や前後のワイヤ部材４４，４５を張ることができるので、ソフトトップ４３や前後のワイヤ部材４４，４５を張るための作業性を向上させることができる。 By engaging the guide portion 86 with the front engagement portion 75, the left side rail 41 can be moved to the outside of the vehicle body by the guide portion 86. Thus, by moving the front lock pin 72, the soft top 43 (see FIG. 6) and the front and rear wire members 44 and 45 can be stretched by the left side rail 41. , 45 can be improved.
　図８に示すように、前ロックピン７２をロック位置Ｐ１に配置した状態で、ソフトトップ４３による引張力Ｆが左サイドレール４１（前サイド部材７４）に作用する。この状態で、前ロックピン７２をロック位置Ｐ１からロック解除位置Ｐ２に移動する間に、第２被ガイド部９１ｂにガイド部８６が係合する（図１１参照）。 As shown in FIG. 8, in a state where the front lock pin 72 is disposed at the lock position P1, a tensile force F by the soft top 43 acts on the left side rail 41 (front side member 74). In this state, while the front lock pin 72 is moved from the lock position P1 to the lock release position P2, the guide portion 86 is engaged with the second guided portion 91b (see FIG. 11).
　ここで、前係合部（挿通孔）７５の第２被ガイド部９１ｂがガイド部８６と同じ方向に傾斜されている。よって、図１１に示すように、引張力Ｆの分力ＦＶが第２被ガイド部９１ｂからガイド部８６に作用することにより、分力ＦＶでガイド部８６がロック解除位置Ｐ２に向けて押圧される。 Here, the second guided portion 91 b of the front engagement portion (insertion hole) 75 is inclined in the same direction as the guide portion 86. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, the component force F V of the tensile force F by acting on the guide portion 86 from the second guided portion 91b, the guide portion 86 in the component force F V is toward the unlocked position P2 It is pressed.
　さらに、引張力Ｆの分力ＦＨは引張力Ｆより小さい。よって、第２被ガイド部９１ｂおよびガイド部８６間の摩擦力が低減する。このように、分力ＦＶでガイド部８６を押圧し、さらに、第２被ガイド部９１ｂおよびガイド部８６間の摩擦力を低減することにより、前ロックピン７２を比較的小さな操作力でロック解除位置Ｐ２方向に移動させることができるので操作力を軽減できる。 Furthermore, the component force F H of the tensile force F is smaller than the tensile force F. Thus, the frictional force between the second guided portion 91 b and the guide portion 86 is reduced. Thus, the front lock pin 72 is locked with a relatively small operation force by pressing the guide portion 86 with the component force F V and further reducing the frictional force between the second guided portion 91 b and the guide portion 86. The movement in the direction of the release position P2 can reduce the operating force.
　一方、図８に示すように、前ロックピン７２をロック位置Ｐ１に配置した状態では、被停止部９２の第１被停止部９２ａおよび第２被停止部９２ｂに、前ロックピン７２の停止部８５が係合される。被停止部９２は、前ロックピン７２の停止部８５と同様に前ロックピン７２の移動方向に延出されている。すなわち、被停止部９２（第１被停止部９２ａおよび第２被停止部９２ｂ）や前ロックピン７２の停止部８５は引張力Ｆに対して直交する方向に向いて設けられている。 On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, in the state where the front lock pin 72 is disposed at the lock position P1, the first to-be-stopped portion 92a and the second to-be-stopped portion 92b of the to-be-stopped portion 92 85 is engaged. The to-be-stopped portion 92 is extended in the moving direction of the front lock pin 72 in the same manner as the stop portion 85 of the front lock pin 72. That is, the to-be-stopped portion 92 (the first to-be-stopped portion 92a and the second to-be-stopped portion 92b) and the stopping portion 85 of the front lock pin 72 are provided in a direction perpendicular to the tensile force F.
　よって、ソフトトップ４３による引張力Ｆの分力ＦＶ（図１１参照）が前ロックピン７２の移動方向へ向けて停止部に作用することを防止できる。これにより、ソフトトップ４３による引張力Ｆで前ロックピン７２がロック解除位置Ｐ２に向けて変位することを防いで、前ロックピン７２がロック位置Ｐ１に安定した状態に保持される。 Therefore, it is possible to prevent the component force F V of the tensile force F by soft top 43 (see FIG. 11) acts on the stop portion toward the moving direction of the front lock pin 72. Thereby, the front lock pin 72 is prevented from being displaced toward the lock release position P2 by the tensile force F by the soft top 43, and the front lock pin 72 is held in the stable state at the lock position P1.
　図２、図６に示すように、左右のサイドレール４１にソフトトップ４３が設けられている。ソフトトップ４３は、可撓性を有する幌布で平面視において略矩形状に形成されている。このソフトトップ４３は、左サイドレール４１に左縁部４３ａが設けられ、右サイドレール４１に右縁部４３ｂが設けられ、前開口縁部２４に沿って前縁部４３ｃが配置可能に形成され、後開口縁部２５に沿って後縁部４３ｄが配置可能に形成されている。 As shown to FIG. 2, FIG. 6, the soft top 43 is provided in the side rail 41 on either side.

The soft top 43 has a left edge 43 a provided on the left side rail 41, a right edge 43 b provided on the right side rail 41, and a front edge 43 c formed so as to be locatable along the front opening edge 24. The rear edge 43 d is formed along the rear opening edge 25 so as to be positionable.
　図５、図１４に示すように、ソフトトップ４３は、ルーフ開口部２３（図２参照）の上方に露出する上部シート１０１と、上部シート１０１の前縁部１０１ａに設けられた下部シート１０３と、上部シート１０１および下部シート１０３間に設けられた補強部材１０５とを備えている。ソフトトップ４３は、上部シート１０１の前縁部１０１ａ、補強部材１０５の第１接合部１０５ａおよび下部シート１０３の前縁部（第１シート接合部）１０３ａが重ね合わされた状態で接合（縫合）されている。さらに、ソフトトップ４３は、接合された前縁部１０１ａ、第１接合部１０５ａおよび前縁部１０３ａが玉縁１０７で覆われている。 As shown in FIGS. 5 and 14, the soft top 43 includes an upper sheet 101 exposed above the roof opening 23 (see FIG. 2) and a lower sheet 103 provided on the front edge 101a of the upper sheet 101. , And a reinforcing member 105 provided between the upper sheet 101 and the lower sheet 103. The soft top 43 is joined (sutured) in a state in which the front edge 101a of the upper sheet 101, the first joint 105a of the reinforcing member 105, and the front edge (first sheet joint) 103a of the lower sheet 103 are overlapped. ing.

　上部シート１０１は、平面視において略矩形状に形成された可撓性を有する幌布である（図６参照）。この上部シート１０１は、前縁部１０１ａが車幅方向に沿って延出され、かつ車体前方に向けて湾曲状に膨出するように形成されている。 The upper sheet 101 is a flexible hood having a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view (see FIG. 6). The upper sheet 101 is formed such that a front edge portion 101 a extends in the vehicle width direction and bulges in a curved shape toward the front of the vehicle body.
　図１４、図１５に示すように、補強部材１０５は、ソフトトップ４３の前縁部４３ｃに沿って設けられ、下部シート１０３よりも剛性が高く、かつ可撓性を備えた帯状の部材である。この補強部材１０５は、前縁部で第１接合部１０５ａが形成され、後縁部で第２接合部１０５ｂが形成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the reinforcing member 105 is a belt-like member provided along the front edge 43c of the soft top 43 and having rigidity higher than that of the lower sheet 103 and flexibility. . In the reinforcing member 105, a first joint portion 105a is formed at the front edge portion, and a second joint portion 105b is formed at the rear edge portion.
　第１接合部１０５ａは、ソフトトップ４３の前縁部４３ｃに沿うように車幅方向に向けて延出され、かつ車体前方に向けて湾曲状に膨出するように形成されている。第１接合部１０５ａの上面が上部シート１０１の前縁部１０１ａに接合（縫合）されている。具体的には、上部シート１０１は、第１接合部１０５ａおよび第２接合部１０５ｂのうち、第２接合部１０５ｂを除いて第１接合部１０５ａに接合（縫合）されている。さらに、第１接合部１０５ａの下面が下部シート１０３の前縁部１０３ａに接合（縫合）されている。 The first joint portion 105 a is extended in the vehicle width direction along the front edge 43 c of the soft top 43 and is formed to bulge in a curve toward the front of the vehicle body. The upper surface of the first bonding portion 105 a is bonded (stitched) to the front edge portion 101 a of the upper sheet 101. Specifically, the upper sheet 101 is joined (sutured) to the first joining portion 105 a except for the second joining portion 105 b among the first joining portion 105 a and the second joining portion 105 b. Furthermore, the lower surface of the first bonding portion 105 a is bonded (stitched) to the front edge portion 103 a of the lower sheet 103.
　第２接合部１０５ｂは、第１接合部１０５ａから車体後方に所定距離Ｌ１だけ離間して設けられている。この第２接合部１０５ｂは、第１接合部１０５ａに対して平行になるように車幅方向に向けて湾曲状に延出されている。第２接合部１０５ｂの下面は、下部シート１０３の後縁部（第２シート接合部）１０３ｂに接合（縫合）されている。すなわち、補強部材１０５の第１接合部１０５ａおよび第２接合部１０５ｂは、下部シート１０３に接合（縫合）されている。 The second joint portion 105 b is provided apart from the first joint portion 105 a by a predetermined distance L 1 rearward of the vehicle body. The second bonding portion 105 b is curvedly extended in the vehicle width direction so as to be parallel to the first bonding portion 105 a. The lower surface of the second bonding portion 105 b is bonded (stitched) to the rear edge portion (second sheet bonding portion) 103 b of the lower sheet 103. That is, the first bonding portion 105 a and the second bonding portion 105 b of the reinforcing member 105 are bonded (stitched) to the lower sheet 103.
　この状態で、補強部材１０５および下部シート１０３で閉断面が形成される。さらに、補強部材１０５および下部シート１０３の間で、かつ第１接合部１０５ａおよび第２接合部１０５ｂの間に前ワイヤ部材４４が配置（収容）されている。前ワイヤ部材４４の押付力で下部シート１０３が室内１０９側に押圧されることにより、下部シート１０３が断面略Ｖ字状に形成されている。一方、補強部材１０５が断面直線状に形成されている。よって、下部シート１０３は、前縁部１０３ａおよび後縁部１０３ｂ間の幅寸法（長さ寸法）Ｌ２が、第１接合部１０５ａおよび第２接合部１０５ｂ間の所定距離Ｌ１よりも大きく形成されている。 In this state, the reinforcing member 105 and the lower sheet 103 form a closed cross section. Further, the front wire member 44 is disposed (accommodated) between the reinforcing member 105 and the lower sheet 103 and between the first joint portion 105a and the second joint portion 105b. The lower sheet 103 is formed into a substantially V-shaped cross section by pressing the lower sheet 103 toward the chamber 109 by the pressing force of the front wire member 44. On the other hand, the reinforcing member 105 is formed in a linear shape in cross section. Therefore, in the lower sheet 103, the width dimension (length dimension) L2 between the front edge portion 103a and the rear edge portion 103b is formed larger than the predetermined distance L1 between the first bonding portion 105a and the second bonding portion 105b.

That is, the seal wall portion 104 is held so as to abut on the front seal member 27 by the lower sheet 103 being pressed toward the chamber 109 by the pressing force of the front wire member 44.
　下部シート１０３の幅寸法Ｌ２は、補強部材１０５の所定距離Ｌ１よりも大きく形成されている。さらに、補強部材１０５および下部シート１０３の間で、かつ第１接合部１０５ａおよび第２接合部１０５ｂの間に前ワイヤ部材４４が配置されている。よって、下部シート１０３を前ワイヤ部材４４で室内１０９側に付勢することにより、下部シート１０３を室内１０９側に向けて略Ｖ字状に突出させることができる。これにより、下部シート１０３を上部シート１０１に対して交差させることが可能になり、下部シート１０３で略Ｖ字状のシール壁部１０４を簡単に形成することができる。 The width L2 of the lower sheet 103 is larger than the predetermined distance L1 of the reinforcing member 105. Furthermore, a front wire member 44 is disposed between the reinforcing member 105 and the lower sheet 103 and between the first joint portion 105 a and the second joint portion 105 b. Therefore, by biasing the lower sheet 103 to the side of the room 109 by the front wire member 44, the lower sheet 103 can be protruded in a substantially V shape toward the side of the room 109. Thus, the lower sheet 103 can be made to intersect the upper sheet 101, and the substantially V-shaped seal wall portion 104 can be easily formed by the lower sheet 103.
　前シール部材２７は、前開口縁部２４に設けられ、車体後方側に設けられた第１シール部１１１と、第１シール部１１１より車体前方に設けられた第２シール部１１２とを備えている。第１シール部１１１は、内側壁部１０４ａに接触するように形成されている。また、第２シール部１１２は、外側壁部１０４ｂに接触するように形成されている。 The front seal member 27 is provided with a first seal portion 111 provided on the front opening edge portion 24 and provided on the vehicle body rear side, and a second seal portion 112 provided on the vehicle body front side from the first seal portion 111 There is. The first seal portion 111 is formed to be in contact with the inner side wall portion 104 a. Further, the second seal portion 112 is formed to be in contact with the outer side wall portion 104 b.
　このように、下部シート１０３を前ワイヤ部材４４の押付力で室内１０９側に押圧することにより下部シート１０３を前シール部材２７に当接させることができる。下部シート１０３の内側壁部１０４ａを前シール部材２７の第１シール部１１１に当接させることにより、内側壁部１０４ａおよび第１シール部１１１間の密封性（シール性）を保つことができる。さらに、下部シート１０３の外側壁部１０４ｂを前シール部材２７の第２シール部１１２に当接させることにより、外側壁部１０４ｂおよび第２シール部１１２間の密封性（シール性）を保つことができる。これにより、ルーフ開口部２３の前開口縁部２４およびソフトトップ４３間の密封性（シール性）を保つことができる。 Thus, the lower sheet 103 can be brought into contact with the front seal member 27 by pressing the lower sheet 103 toward the chamber 109 by the pressing force of the front wire member 44. By bringing the inner side wall portion 104 a of the lower sheet 103 into contact with the first seal portion 111 of the front seal member 27, the sealing performance (sealability) between the inner side wall portion 104 a and the first seal portion 111 can be maintained. Further, by bringing the outer wall portion 104b of the lower sheet 103 into contact with the second seal portion 112 of the front seal member 27, the sealability (sealability) between the outer wall portion 104b and the second seal portion 112 can be maintained. it can. Thereby, the sealability (sealability) between the front opening edge 24 of the roof opening 23 and the soft top 43 can be maintained.
　加えて、下部シート１０３を前シール部材２７に当接させることにより、上部シート１０１を前シール部材２７に当接させる必要がない。これにより、上部シート１０１が前シール部材２７で上方に押し上げられることを防止できるので、ソフトトップ４３（すなわち、着脱ルーフ３０）の外観性を良好に維持できる。 In addition, by bringing the lower sheet 103 into contact with the front seal member 27, there is no need to bring the upper sheet 101 into contact with the front seal member 27. As a result, the upper sheet 101 can be prevented from being pushed upward by the front seal member 27, so that the appearance of the soft top 43 (that is, the removable roof 30) can be maintained well.
　下部シート１０３のシール壁部１０４（内側壁部１０４ａおよび外側壁部１０４ｂ）は、上部シート１０１に対して交差する方向に延在している。よって、内側壁部１０４ａが第１シール部１１１に当接した状態において、第１シール部１１１が内側壁部１０４ａに当接する方向（矢印Ｔ１方向）を上部シート１０１に対して傾斜させることができる。 The seal wall portion 104 (inner side wall portion 104 a and outer wall portion 104 b) of the lower sheet 103 extends in a direction intersecting with the upper sheet 101. Therefore, in a state where the inner side wall portion 104a is in contact with the first seal portion 111, the direction (arrow T1 direction) in which the first seal portion 111 is in contact with the inner side wall portion 104a can be inclined with respect to the upper sheet 101. .
　さらに、外側壁部１０４ｂが第２シール部１１２に当接した状態において、第２シール部１１２が外側壁部１０４ｂに当接する方向（矢印Ｔ２方向）を上部シート１０１に対して傾斜させる（具体的には、略平行に向ける）ことができる。これにより、第１シール部１１１や第２シール部１１２の当接方向を上部シート１０１に対して直交させた場合と比べて、第１シール部１１１や第２シール部１１２で上部シート１０１が上方に押し上げられることを一層良好に防止できる。 Furthermore, in a state where the outer side wall portion 104b abuts on the second seal portion 112, the direction (arrow T2 direction) in which the second seal portion 112 abuts on the outer side wall portion 104b is inclined with respect to the upper sheet 101 (specifically Can be oriented approximately parallel). As a result, the upper sheet 101 is directed upward at the first seal portion 111 and the second seal portion 112 as compared with the case where the contact direction of the first seal portion 111 and the second seal portion 112 is orthogonal to the upper sheet 101. Can be better prevented.
　さらに、補強部材１０５の第１接合部１０５ａに上部シート１０１（前縁部１０１ａ）を接合（縫合）し、第２接合部１０５ｂには上部シート１０１を接合（縫合）しないようにした。ここで、第１接合部１０５ａはソフトトップ４３の前縁部４３ｃに沿って設けられている。 Furthermore, the upper sheet 101 (front edge portion 101a) is joined (stitched) to the first joint portion 105a of the reinforcing member 105, and the upper sheet 101 is not joined (stitched) to the second joint portion 105b. Here, the first bonding portion 105 a is provided along the front edge portion 43 c of the soft top 43.
　このように、上部シート１０１は、ソフトトップ４３の前縁部４３ｃに沿わせて接合（縫合）され、前縁部４３ｃよりも内側の第２接合部１０５ｂに接合（縫合）されていない。これにより、上部シート１０１を第２接合部１０５ｂや下部シート１０３から上方に離間させる（逃がす）ことができる。したがって、上部シート１０１がシール部材２７（第１シール部１１１や第２シール部１１２）で上方に押し上げられることを一層良好に防止できる。 Thus, the upper sheet 101 is joined (stitched) along the front edge 43 c of the soft top 43 and is not joined (stitched) to the second joint 105 b inside the front edge 43 c. Thereby, the upper sheet 101 can be separated (escaped) upward from the second bonding portion 105 b or the lower sheet 103. Therefore, the upper sheet 101 can be further prevented from being pushed upward by the seal member 27 (the first seal portion 111 and the second seal portion 112).
　図４に示すように、前開口縁部２４のうち車幅方向の中央部２４ａに一対のワイヤ案内部材１１５が設けられている。図５、図１６に示すように、前開口縁部２４の中央部２４ａに一対のスタッドボルト１２１が立設され、一対のスタッドボルト１２１にワイヤ案内部材１１５のベース１１６がナット１２２で取り付けられている。よって、第１シール部１１１および第２シール部１１２間にワイヤ案内部材１１５が設けられている。 As shown in FIG. 4, a pair of wire guide members 115 is provided at a central portion 24 a in the vehicle width direction of the front opening edge portion 24. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 16, a pair of stud bolts 121 are erected at the central portion 24 a of the front opening edge 24, and the base 116 of the wire guide member 115 is attached to the pair of stud bolts 121 by a nut 122. There is. Therefore, the wire guide member 115 is provided between the first seal portion 111 and the second seal portion 112.
　ワイヤ案内部材１１５は、中央部２４ａに設けられたベース１１６と、ベース１１６に設けられた案内部１１７とを有する。案内部１１７は、ベース１１６から上方に向けて立ち上げられた前案内部１１８と、前案内部１１８の下部から車体後方に向けて上り勾配で張り出された後案内部１１９とを有する。案内部１１７は、前案内部１１８および後案内部１１９で略Ｖ字状に形成されている。 The wire guide member 115 has a base 116 provided at the central portion 24 a and a guide portion 117 provided at the base 116. The guiding portion 117 has a front guiding portion 118 raised upward from the base 116, and a rear guiding portion 119 projecting upward from the lower portion of the front guiding portion 118 toward the rear of the vehicle body. The guiding portion 117 is formed in a substantially V shape by the front guiding portion 118 and the rear guiding portion 119.
　図１７に示すように、後案内部１１９は、前端部（下端部）１１９ａが第２シール部１１２の下方に配置され、後端部（上端部）１１９ｂが第１シール部１１１の下方に配置されている。すなわち、後案内部１１９は、第１シール部１１１および第２シール部１１２の略全域にわたって設けられている。ワイヤ案内部材１１５に後案内部１１９を設けることにより、前ワイヤ部材４４を車体前方（車体外方）で、かつ、下方に向けて矢印Ｄ方向に案内することができる。 As shown in FIG. 17, in the rear guide portion 119, the front end portion (lower end portion) 119a is disposed below the second seal portion 112, and the rear end portion (upper end portion) 119b is disposed below the first seal portion 111. It is done. That is, the rear guide portion 119 is provided over substantially the entire area of the first seal portion 111 and the second seal portion 112. By providing the rear guide portion 119 in the wire guide member 115, the front wire member 44 can be guided in the direction of arrow D toward the front of the vehicle body (outward of the vehicle body) and downward.
　ここで、後案内部１１９を第１シール部１１１および第２シール部１１２の略全域にわたって設けた理由について説明する。すなわち、図３に示すように、前開口縁部２４の車幅方向の中央部２４ａは、車体前方に向けて膨出するように湾曲状に形成されている。よって、図１７に示すように、前ワイヤ部材４４を張った場合、前ワイヤ部材４４は、第１シール部１１１および第２シール部１１２間の空間１２４のうち第１シール部１１１寄りに位置する。 Here, the reason why the rear guide portion 119 is provided over substantially the entire area of the first seal portion 111 and the second seal portion 112 will be described. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the central portion 24 a in the vehicle width direction of the front opening edge portion 24 is formed in a curved shape so as to expand toward the front of the vehicle body. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 17, when the front wire member 44 is stretched, the front wire member 44 is positioned closer to the first seal portion 111 in the space 124 between the first seal portion 111 and the second seal portion 112. .
　そこで、第１シール部１１１および第２シール部１１２の略全域にわたって後案内部１１９を設けるようにした。よって、第１シール部１１１および第２シール部１１２間の空間１２４のうち第１シール部１１１寄りに位置する前ワイヤ部材４４を後案内部１１９により車体前方で、かつ下方に向けて矢印Ｄ方向に案内することができる。このように、ワイヤ案内部材１１５で前ワイヤ部材４４を案内することにより、前ワイヤ部材４４を前開口縁部２４に沿わせて配置することができる。 Therefore, the rear guide portion 119 is provided over substantially the entire area of the first seal portion 111 and the second seal portion 112. Therefore, in the space 124 between the first seal portion 111 and the second seal portion 112, the front wire member 44 located closer to the first seal portion 111 is directed forward and downward by the rear guide portion 119 in the direction of arrow D Can be guided to. Thus, by guiding the front wire member 44 with the wire guide member 115, the front wire member 44 can be disposed along the front opening edge 24.
　よって、図３に示すように、湾曲状に形成された前開口縁部２４に沿わせてソフトトップ４３の前縁部４３ｃを保持することができる。これにより、前開口縁部２４およびソフトトップ４３（前縁部４３ｃ）間の間隙を一定に確保でき、前開口縁部２４および前縁部４３ｃ間の密封性を保つことができる。 Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the front edge 43 c of the soft top 43 can be held along the curved front opening edge 24. Thereby, the gap between the front opening edge 24 and the soft top 43 (the front edge 43c) can be kept constant, and the sealing performance between the front opening edge 24 and the front edge 43c can be maintained.
　図２、図１８に示すように、ルーフ開口部２３から着脱ルーフ３０を外した後、着脱ルーフ３０の前後のワイヤ部材４４，４５（後ワイヤ部材４５は図６参照）を曲げるとともにソフトトップ４３を折り畳む。これにより、着脱ルーフ３０を小さく畳むことができるので、畳んだ着脱ルーフの格納空間を小さく抑えることが可能になる。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 18, after removing the removable roof 30 from the roof opening 23, the front and rear wire members 44 and 45 (see FIG. 6 for the rear wire member 45) of the removable roof 30 are bent and soft top 43 Fold. Thereby, since the removable roof 30 can be folded small, the storage space of the folded removable roof can be reduced.
　つぎに、ルーフ開口部２３から着脱ルーフ３０を外す例を図１９～図２２に基づいて説明する。ここで、図１９～図２１においては、作動の理解を容易にするために前ロックピン７２を平面から見た状態で示す。前後のロックピン７２，７７は同様に作動するので、前ロックピン７２について説明して後ロックピン７７の説明を省略する。 Next, an example in which the detachable roof 30 is removed from the roof opening 23 will be described based on FIGS. 19 to 22. FIG. Here, in FIG. 19 to FIG. 21, the front lock pin 72 is shown from a plan view in order to facilitate the understanding of the operation. Since the front and rear lock pins 72 and 77 operate similarly, the front lock pin 72 will be described and the description of the rear lock pin 77 will be omitted.
　図１９（ａ）に示すように、ルーフ開口部２３に着脱ルーフ３０が取り付けられている。前ロックピン７２がロック位置Ｐ１（図１９（ｂ）参照）に保持されている。 As shown in FIG. 19 (a), the removable roof 30 is attached to the roof opening 23. As shown in FIG. The front lock pin 72 is held at the lock position P1 (see FIG. 19B).
　図１９（ｂ）に示すように、ロック操作部６５の操作レバー６８を矢印Ｅの如く操作することにより、ロック操作部６５が支持軸６４を軸にして矢印Ｅの如く回動する。ロック操作部６５が回動することにより前ロックピン７２がロック位置Ｐ１から車体後方向に向けて矢印Ｆの如く移動する。ここで、ソフトトップ４３（図１９（ａ）参照）が張られた状態に保たれているので、ソフトトップ４３による引張力Ｆ１が左サイドレール４１（前サイド部材７４）に作用している。 As shown in FIG. 19B, by operating the operating lever 68 of the lock operating unit 65 as indicated by the arrow E, the lock operating unit 65 rotates around the support shaft 64 as indicated by the arrow E. As the lock operating portion 65 rotates, the front lock pin 72 moves from the lock position P1 toward the rear of the vehicle as shown by the arrow F. Here, since the soft top 43 (see FIG. 19A) is kept in a stretched state, the tensile force F1 by the soft top 43 acts on the left side rail 41 (the front side member 74).
　図２０（ａ）に示すように、ロック操作部６５をさらに回動することにより前ロックピン７２は車体後方向に向けて矢印Ｆの如くさらに移動する。前ロックピン７２のガイド部８６は被ガイド部９１の第１被ガイド部９１ａに係合する。この状態で、ガイド部８６は被ガイド部９１に沿って移動する。 As shown in FIG. 20 (a), the front lock pin 72 is further moved as indicated by an arrow F in the rearward direction of the vehicle body by further turning the lock operation portion 65. The guide portion 86 of the front lock pin 72 engages with the first guided portion 91 a of the guided portion 91. In this state, the guide portion 86 moves along the guided portion 91.
　図２０（ｂ）に示すように、ロック操作部６５をさらに回動することにより前ロックピン７２は車体後方向に向けて矢印Ｆの如くさらに移動する。前ロックピン７２のガイド部８６は、被ガイド部９１の第１被ガイド部９１ａに係合し、かつ、被ガイド部９１の第２被ガイド部９１ｂに係合する。この際、ソフトトップ４３による引張力Ｆ１は左サイドレール４１（前サイド部材７４）の第２被ガイド部９１ｂに作用している。さらに、ガイド部８６は第２被ガイド部９１ｂに接触している。 As shown in FIG. 20 (b), the front lock pin 72 is further moved in the rearward direction of the vehicle body as shown by the arrow F by further turning the lock operating portion 65. The guide portion 86 of the front lock pin 72 engages with the first guided portion 91 a of the guided portion 91 and engages with the second guided portion 91 b of the guided portion 91. At this time, the tensile force F1 by the soft top 43 acts on the second guided portion 91b of the left side rail 41 (the front side member 74). Furthermore, the guide portion 86 is in contact with the second guided portion 91b.
　よって、引張力Ｆ１の分力Ｆ２Ｖが第２被ガイド部９１ｂからガイド部８６に作用することにより、分力Ｆ２Ｖでガイド部８６が矢印Ｆ方向に押圧される。さらに、引張力Ｆ１の分力Ｆ２Ｈは引張力Ｆ１より小さい。よって、第２被ガイド部９１ｂおよびガイド部８６間の摩擦力が低減する。このように、分力Ｆ２Ｖでガイド部８６を押圧し、さらに、摩擦力を低減することにより、前ロックピン７２を比較的小さな操作力で矢印Ｆ方向（すなわち、ロック解除位置Ｐ２方向）に移動させることができるので操作レバー６８の操作力を軽減できる。同時に、左サイドレール４１（前サイド部材７４）が矢印Ｇ方向に移動する。 Therefore, the component F2 V of the tensile force F1 acts on the guide 86 from the second guided portion 91b, whereby the guide 86 is pressed in the direction of the arrow F with the component F2 V. Further, the component force F2 H tensile force F1 tensile force F1 smaller. Thus, the frictional force between the second guided portion 91 b and the guide portion 86 is reduced. Thus, by pressing the guide portion 86 with the component force F2 V and further reducing the frictional force, the front lock pin 72 is moved in the direction of arrow F (that is, in the direction of the unlocking position P2) with a relatively small operating force. Since the movement can be performed, the operation force of the operation lever 68 can be reduced. At the same time, the left side rail 41 (front side member 74) moves in the arrow G direction.
　支持軸６４は、左サイドレール４１が矢印Ｇ方向（車幅方向）に移動することにより車幅方向に移動する。よって、前ロックピン７２と支持軸６４とに車幅方向のずれが生じる。前ロックピン７２と支持軸６４との車幅方向のずれは前ロッド７１の弾性変形で許容される。 The support shaft 64 moves in the vehicle width direction as the left side rail 41 moves in the arrow G direction (vehicle width direction). Therefore, a shift in the vehicle width direction occurs between the front lock pin 72 and the support shaft 64. The displacement of the front lock pin 72 and the support shaft 64 in the vehicle width direction is permitted by the elastic deformation of the front rod 71.
　図２１（ａ）に示すように、前ロックピン７２が比較的小さな操作力で車体後方向に向けて矢印Ｆの如く継続して移動する。この状態においても、引張力Ｆ１の分力Ｆ２Ｖが第２被ガイド部９１ｂからガイド部８６に作用し分力Ｆ２Ｖでガイド部８６が矢印Ｆ方向に押圧される。さらに、引張力Ｆ１の分力Ｆ２Ｈは引張力Ｆ１より小さい。よって、第２被ガイド部９１ｂおよびガイド部８６間の摩擦力が低減する。これにより、前ロックピン７２を比較的小さな操作力でロック解除位置Ｐ２方向にさらに移動させることができる。同時に、左サイドレール４１（前サイド部材７４）が矢印Ｇ方向に移動する。 As shown in FIG. 21 (a), the front lock pin 72 continues to move in the rearward direction of the vehicle body as indicated by the arrow F with a relatively small operating force. Also in this state, the component F2 V of the tensile force F1 acts on the guide 86 from the second guided portion 91b, and the guide 86 is pressed in the arrow F direction by the component F2 V. Further, the component force F2 H tensile force F1 tensile force F1 smaller. Thus, the frictional force between the second guided portion 91 b and the guide portion 86 is reduced. Thereby, the front lock pin 72 can be further moved in the direction of the lock release position P2 with a relatively small operation force. At the same time, the left side rail 41 (front side member 74) moves in the arrow G direction.
　図２１（ｂ）に示すように、前ロックピン７２はロック解除位置Ｐ２まで移動する。この状態で、ソフトトップ４３の張り状態が解除される。よって、前ロックピン７２がロック解除位置Ｐ２に保持される。 As shown in FIG. 21 (b), the front lock pin 72 moves to the lock release position P2. In this state, the tension state of the soft top 43 is released. Thus, the front lock pin 72 is held at the lock release position P2.
　図２２に示すように、ルーフ開口部２３から着脱ルーフ３０を矢印Ｈの如く外す。図１９～図２２で説明したように、ソフトトップ４３による引張力Ｆ１を利用することにより、前ロックピン７２を比較的小さな操作力でロック解除位置Ｐ２方向に移動させることができる。これにより、着脱ルーフ３０を取り外すための作業性を向上させることができる。 As shown in FIG. 22, the detachable roof 30 is removed from the roof opening 23 as shown by arrow H. As described with reference to FIGS. 19 to 22, by using the tensile force F1 of the soft top 43, the front lock pin 72 can be moved in the direction of the unlocking position P2 with a relatively small operating force. Thereby, the workability for removing the detachable roof 30 can be improved.
　ついで、ルーフ開口部２３の前開口縁部２４およびソフトトップ４３間の密封性を保つ例を図２３に基づいて説明する。図２３（ａ）に示すように、シール壁部１０４の内側壁部１０４ａが前ワイヤ部材４４に当接する箇所から後縁部１０３ｂ（補強部材１０５の第２接合部１０５ｂ）まで延びるように形成されている。ここで、走行風が矢印Ｉの如く流れて上部シート１０１の上方に負圧が発生することにより、上部シート１０１に上方への引上げ力Ｆ３が作用する。 Next, an example of maintaining the sealing property between the front opening edge 24 of the roof opening 23 and the soft top 43 will be described based on FIG. As shown in FIG. 23A, the inner side wall portion 104a of the seal wall portion 104 is formed so as to extend from the portion in contact with the front wire member 44 to the rear edge portion 103b (the second joint portion 105b of the reinforcing member 105). ing. Here, when the traveling wind flows as shown by an arrow I and a negative pressure is generated above the upper sheet 101, an upper pulling force F3 acts on the upper sheet 101.
　図２３（ｂ）に示すように、上部シート１０１に引上げ力Ｆ３が作用した際に、引上げ力Ｆ３が第１接合部１０５ａに入力する。第１接合部１０５ａに引上げ力Ｆ３が入力することにより、第１接合部１０５ａとともに下部シート１０３の前縁部１０３ａに引上げ力Ｆ３が入力する。 As shown in FIG. 23B, when the pulling force F3 acts on the upper sheet 101, the pulling force F3 is input to the first joint portion 105a. When the pulling force F3 is input to the first bonding portion 105a, the pulling force F3 is input to the front edge portion 103a of the lower sheet 103 together with the first bonding portion 105a.
　よって、下部シート１０３が前ワイヤ部材４４を軸にして矢印Ｊ方向に回転する。下部シート１０３が回転することにより、後縁部１０３ｂ（第２接合部１０５ｂ）は室内１０９側に移動し、内側壁部１０４ａが第１シール部１１１に押し付けられる。これにより、走行風などで上部シール１０１に引上げ力Ｆ３が作用した場合でも、前開口縁部２４およびソフトトップ４３（前縁部４３ｃ）間の密封性を保つことができる。 Thus, the lower sheet 103 rotates in the direction of arrow J about the front wire member 44 as an axis. As the lower sheet 103 rotates, the rear edge portion 103 b (the second bonding portion 105 b) moves to the side of the room 109, and the inner side wall portion 104 a is pressed against the first seal portion 111. Thereby, even when the pulling force F3 acts on the upper seal 101 by the traveling wind or the like, the sealing property between the front opening edge 24 and the soft top 43 (the front edge 43c) can be maintained.
　つぎに、実施例２～実施例４の着脱ルーフ付き車体構造を図２４～図２６に基づいて説明する。なお、実施例２～実施例４の着脱ルーフ付き車体構造において実施例１の着脱ルーフ付き車体構造１０と同一類似部材については同じ符号を付して説明を省略する。 Next, a vehicle body structure with a detachable roof according to Embodiment 2 to Embodiment 4 will be described based on FIG. 24 to FIG. In the vehicle body structure with the detachable roof in the second to fourth embodiments, the same reference numeral is given to the same or similar member as the vehicle body structure 10 with the detachable roof in the first embodiment and the explanation is omitted.
　図２４（ａ）に示すように、実施例２による着脱ルーフ付き車体構造１３０は、実施例１のロック手段４２をロック手段１３１に代え、前サイド部材７４を前サイド部材１４１に代えたもので、その他の構成は実施例１の着脱ルーフ付き車体構造１０と同様である。 As shown in FIG. 24A, the detachable roof-equipped vehicle body structure 130 according to the second embodiment is obtained by replacing the lock means 42 of the first embodiment with the lock means 131 and replacing the front side member 74 with the front side member 141. The other structure is the same as that of the detachable roof-equipped vehicle body structure 10 of the first embodiment.
　前サイド部材１４１は、左サイドレール４１に設けられ、係合長孔（前係合部）１４２を備えている。ロック手段１３１は、左ロック部１３２を有する。左ロック部１３２は、前ロックピン（ロックピン）１３３および押圧手段１３５を備えたもので、その他の構成は実施例１の左ロック部６１と同様である。前ロックピン１３３は、略中央部にガイド突起部１３４を有している。ガイド突起部１３４は、前端に前傾斜部（ガイド部）１３４ａが設けられている。 The front side member 141 is provided on the left side rail 41 and includes an engagement long hole (front engagement portion) 142. The lock means 131 has a left lock portion 132. The left lock portion 132 is provided with a front lock pin (lock pin) 133 and a pressing means 135, and the other configuration is the same as the left lock portion 61 of the first embodiment. The front lock pin 133 has a guide protrusion 134 substantially at the center. The guide protrusion 134 has a front inclined portion (guide portion) 134 a at its front end.
　押圧手段１３５は、前ロックピン１３３のうちガイド突起部１３４の反対側に当接された押圧部材１３６と、押圧部材１３６を前ロックピン１３３に向けて押圧する圧縮ばね１３７とを備えている。押圧部材１３６を圧縮ばね１３７で押圧することにより、前ロックピン１３３は係合長孔１４２の外端部１４２ａに当接されている。さらに、押圧部材１３６を圧縮ばね１３７で押圧することにより、前ロックピン１３３はガイド突起部１３４の反対側に移動することを防止される。 The pressing means 135 includes a pressing member 136 of the front lock pin 133 that is in contact with the opposite side of the guide protrusion 134 and a compression spring 137 that presses the pressing member 136 toward the front lock pin 133. By pressing the pressing member 136 with the compression spring 137, the front lock pin 133 is in contact with the outer end 142 a of the engaging long hole 142. Furthermore, pressing the pressing member 136 with the compression spring 137 prevents the front lock pin 133 from moving to the opposite side of the guide protrusion 134.
　よって、前ロックピン１３３を矢印Ｋの如く移動することにより、ガイド突起部１３４の前傾斜部１３４ａが係合長孔１４２の外端部１４２ａに進入する。これにより、前サイド部材１４１（左サイドレール４１）が車幅方向外側に向けて矢印Ｌの如く移動する。 Therefore, by moving the front lock pin 133 as shown by the arrow K, the front sloped portion 134 a of the guide projection 134 enters the outer end 142 a of the engaging long hole 142. As a result, the front side member 141 (left side rail 41) moves outward in the vehicle width direction as indicated by an arrow L.
　図２４（ｂ）に示すように、前ロックピン１３３はロック位置Ｐ１まで移動する。よって、ガイド突起部１３４が係合長孔１４２の外端部１４２ａに進入し、かつ、前ロックピン１３３が係合部３２の前係合孔３３に係合する。これにより、前ロックピン１３３を移動することにより、左サイドレール４１でソフトトップ４３（図６参照）や前後のワイヤ部材４４，４５を張ることができるので、ソフトトップ４３や前後のワイヤ部材４４，４５を張るための作業性を向上させることができる。 As shown in FIG. 24B, the front lock pin 133 moves to the lock position P1. Thus, the guide protrusion 134 enters the outer end 142 a of the long engagement hole 142, and the front lock pin 133 engages with the front engagement hole 33 of the engagement portion 32. Thus, by moving the front lock pin 133, the soft top 43 (see FIG. 6) and the front and rear wire members 44 and 45 can be stretched by the left side rail 41. , 45 can be improved.
　左サイドレール４１でソフトトップ４３や前後のワイヤ部材４４，４５を張ることにより、ソフトトップ４３や前後のワイヤ部材４４，４５による引張力Ｆ４が左サイドレール４１に作用している。この状態で、前ロックピン１３３をロック位置Ｐ１からロック解除位置Ｐ２に向けて矢印Ｍの如く移動する。ガイド突起部１３４の前傾斜部１３４ａが係合長孔１４２の外端部１４２ａに到達する。 By tensioning the soft top 43 and the front and rear wire members 44 and 45 with the left side rail 41, a tensile force F4 by the soft top 43 and the front and rear wire members 44 and 45 acts on the left side rail 41. In this state, the front lock pin 133 is moved from the lock position P1 to the lock release position P2 as shown by the arrow M. The front sloped portion 134 a of the guide protrusion 134 reaches the outer end 142 a of the engaging long hole 142.
　よって、引張力Ｆ４の分力Ｆ５が係合長孔１４２の外端部１４２ａからガイド突起部１３４の前傾斜部１３４ａに作用することにより、分力Ｆ５で前傾斜部１３４ａが矢印Ｍ方向に押圧される。これにより、前ロックピン１３３を比較的小さな操作力で矢印Ｍ方向（すなわち、ロック解除位置Ｐ２方向）に移動させることができるので前ロックピン１３３の操作力を軽減できる。したがって、着脱ルーフ３０（図６参照）を取り外すための作業性を向上させることができる。 Therefore, when the component force F5 of the tensile force F4 acts on the front inclined portion 134a of the guide protrusion 134 from the outer end 142a of the engaging long hole 142, the front inclined portion 134a is pressed in the arrow M direction by the component force F5. Be done. As a result, the front lock pin 133 can be moved in the arrow M direction (that is, the direction of the unlocking position P2) with a relatively small operating force, so that the operating force of the front lock pin 133 can be reduced. Therefore, the workability for removing the detachable roof 30 (see FIG. 6) can be improved.
　図２５（ａ）に示すように、実施例３による着脱ルーフ付き車体構造１５０は、実施例１のロック手段４２をロック手段１５１に代え、前サイド部材７４を前サイド部材１６１に代えたもので、その他の構成は実施例１の着脱ルーフ付き車体構造１０と同様である。 As shown in FIG. 25A, the vehicle body structure 150 with the detachable roof according to the third embodiment is obtained by replacing the lock means 42 of the first embodiment with the lock means 151 and replacing the front side member 74 with the front side member 161. The other structure is the same as that of the detachable roof-equipped vehicle body structure 10 of the first embodiment.
　前サイド部材１６１は、左サイドレール４１に設けられ、係合ピン（前係合部）１６２を備えている。ロック手段１５１は、左ロック部１５２を備えている。左ロック部１５２は、前ロックピン１５３を備えたもので、その他の構成は実施例１の左ロック部６１と同様である。前ロックピン１５３は、略中央部にガイド溝部１５４を有している。ガイド溝部１５４は、中央に傾斜部（ガイド部）１５５が設けられている。 The front side member 161 is provided on the left side rail 41 and includes an engagement pin (front engagement portion) 162. The lock means 151 is provided with a left lock portion 152. The left lock portion 152 is provided with the front lock pin 153, and the other configuration is the same as the left lock portion 61 of the first embodiment. The front lock pin 153 has a guide groove 154 substantially at the center. The guide groove portion 154 is provided with an inclined portion (guide portion) 155 at the center.
　よって、前ロックピン１５３を矢印Ｎの如く移動することにより、ガイド溝部１５４の傾斜部１５５に係合ピン１６２が嵌合する。これにより、左サイドレール４１が車幅方向外側に向けて矢印Ｏの如く移動する。 Therefore, by moving the front lock pin 153 as shown by the arrow N, the engagement pin 162 is fitted to the inclined portion 155 of the guide groove portion 154. Thus, the left side rail 41 moves outward in the vehicle width direction as indicated by the arrow O.
　図２５（ｂ）に示すように、前ロックピン１５３がロック位置Ｐ１まで移動する。よって、ガイド溝部１５４の後端部１５４ａに係合ピン１６２が係合する。これにより、前ロックピン１５３を移動することにより、左サイドレール４１でソフトトップ４３（図６参照）や前後のワイヤ部材４４，４５を張ることができるので、ソフトトップ４３や前後のワイヤ部材４４，４５を張るための作業性を向上させることができる。 As shown in FIG. 25B, the front lock pin 153 moves to the lock position P1. Thus, the engagement pin 162 is engaged with the rear end portion 154 a of the guide groove portion 154. Thus, by moving the front lock pin 153, the soft top 43 (see FIG. 6) and the front and rear wire members 44 and 45 can be stretched by the left side rail 41. , 45 can be improved.
　左サイドレール４１でソフトトップ４３や前後のワイヤ部材４４，４５を張ることにより、ソフトトップ４３や前後のワイヤ部材４４，４５による引張力Ｆ６が左サイドレール４１に作用している。この状態で、前ロックピン１５３をロック位置Ｐ１からロック解除位置Ｐ２に向けて矢印Ｐの如く移動する。ガイド溝部１５４の傾斜部１５５に係合ピン１６２が嵌合する。 By tensioning the soft top 43 and the front and rear wire members 44 and 45 with the left side rail 41, a tensile force F6 by the soft top 43 and the front and rear wire members 44 and 45 acts on the left side rail 41. In this state, the front lock pin 153 is moved from the lock position P1 to the lock release position P2 as shown by the arrow P. The engagement pin 162 is fitted to the inclined portion 155 of the guide groove portion 154.
　よって、引張力Ｆ６の分力Ｆ７が係合ピン１６２からガイド溝部１５４の傾斜部１５５に作用することにより、分力Ｆ７で傾斜部１５５が矢印Ｐ方向に押圧される。これにより、前ロックピン１５３を比較的小さな操作力で矢印Ｐ方向（すなわち、ロック解除位置Ｐ２方向）に移動させることができるので前ロックピン１５３の操作力を軽減できる。したがって、着脱ルーフ３０（図６参照）を取り外すための作業性を向上させることができる。 Therefore, when the component force F7 of the tensile force F6 acts on the inclined portion 155 of the guide groove portion 154 from the engagement pin 162, the inclined portion 155 is pressed in the arrow P direction by the component force F7. Thus, the front lock pin 153 can be moved in the arrow P direction (that is, the direction of the unlocking position P2) with a relatively small operating force, so that the operating force of the front lock pin 153 can be reduced. Therefore, the workability for removing the detachable roof 30 (see FIG. 6) can be improved.
　図２６に示すように、実施例４による着脱ルーフ付き車体構造１７０は、補強部材１０５および下部シート１０３の間に充填部材１７２を備えたもので、その他の構成は実施例１の着脱ルーフ付き車体構造１０と同様である。 As shown in FIG. 26, the vehicle body structure 170 with the detachable roof according to the fourth embodiment is provided with the filling member 172 between the reinforcing member 105 and the lower sheet 103, and the other configuration is the vehicle body with the detachable roof according to the first embodiment.

By providing the filling member 172 between the reinforcing member 105 and the lower sheet 103, the filling member 172 is in contact with the reinforcing member 105 and the lower sheet 103 (the inner side wall portion 104a and the outer side wall portion 104b). Therefore, when the front seal member 27 abuts on the seal wall portion 104 of the lower sheet 103, the filling member 172 can prevent the seal wall portion 104 from being recessed on the opposite side of the front seal member 27.
　具体的には、シール壁部１０４の内側壁部１０４ａが前シール部材２７の第１シール部１１１に当接して第１シール部１１１の反対側に凹むことを充填部材１７２で防止できる。さらに、シール壁部１０４の外側壁部１０４ｂが前シール部材２７の第２シール部１１２に当接して第２シール部１１２の反対側に凹むことを充填部材１７２で防止できる。これにより、内側壁部１０４ａおよび第１シール部１１１間の密封性を一層好適に保つことができ、かつ、外側壁部１０４ｂおよび第２シール部１１２間の密封性を一層好適に保つことができる。 Specifically, the filling member 172 can prevent the inner side wall portion 104 a of the seal wall portion 104 from coming into contact with the first seal portion 111 of the front seal member 27 and being recessed on the opposite side of the first seal portion 111. Furthermore, the filling member 172 can prevent the outer wall portion 104b of the seal wall portion 104 from coming into contact with the second seal portion 112 of the front seal member 27 and being recessed on the opposite side of the second seal portion 112. Thereby, the sealability between the inner side wall portion 104a and the first seal portion 111 can be maintained more suitably, and the sealability between the outer wall portion 104b and the second seal portion 112 can be maintained more suitably. .
　さらに、充填部材１７２は可撓性を有する部材であり、ソフトトップ４３に合わせて折り畳むことが可能である。これにより、充填部材１７２を折り畳むことにより、ソフトトップ４３を図１８に示す収容状態に容易に畳むことができる。 Furthermore, the filling member 172 is a member having flexibility, and can be folded along with the soft top 43. Thus, by folding the filling member 172, the soft top 43 can be easily folded into the storage state shown in FIG.
