Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to the structure of a mounting portion of a head lining provided in the passenger compartment of a vehicle.

(Prior art and its problems) A head lining is installed on the ceiling of a vehicle interior for the purpose of decorating the ceiling.

As a conventional structure of the mounting portion of such a head lining, there is a structure shown as a conventional example in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 57-3074.

4 and 5 show the conventional example, and as shown in FIG. 5, which is a sectional view taken along line A-A of the vehicle 1 shown in FIG. A roof panel outer 3 is disposed, and a roof panel inner 4 is disposed inside the roof panel outer 3.
The outer 3 and inner 4 have base end portions 3a and 4a joined to the end of the roof panel 2, and end portions 3b and 4b of the outer 3 and inner 4 are overlapped and joined to form an edge shape. and configure door openings, etc.

The head lining 5 is attached to the inside surface of the roof panel 2 and the roof panel inner 4, and is in the form of a thin sheet.
On the back side of the lining 5, bag-like portions 51 that are continuous in the width direction of the vehicle (horizontal direction in the figure) are provided at predetermined intervals, and inside the bag-like portions 51, rigidity is imparted to the head lining 5. A wire 6 for tensioning the roof panel without causing wrinkles or the like is inserted, and the end of the wire 6 is engaged with a mounting hole 7 formed at a predetermined position in the inner roof panel 4.

Further, the bag-like portion 51 is not formed at the end portion 52 of the head lining 5 on the side of the vehicle, and the end portion 52 is connected to the roof panel outer 3.
and is inserted between one piece 9a of the opening trim 9, which has a U-shaped cross section and is fitted into and locked with the lower joint end portion 8 of the inner 4, and the inner wall of the end portion 8, thereby forming the head lining end portion 52. The end 52a is supported, a hook 10 is sewn onto the end 52a in advance, and this is retained by locking it to the panel end portion 8, and the opening trim 9 is fitted from below to close the head. Lining terminal part 52a
The panel terminal portion 8 is hidden in the design.

However, in this conventional structure, since the end 52a of the head lining 5 is locked to the panel end 8 as described above, the end 52 of the head lining 5 and the roof panel inner 4
A relatively large space S is created between the two, and from the standpoint of maximizing the effective space within the vehicle interior, this space S becomes a big waste.

In addition, the length of the head lining 5 in the vehicle width direction changes seasonally due to its material, and there is a possibility that slight dimensional errors may occur during cutting during manufacturing, but as in the conventional example above, By simply locking the terminal 52a to the panel terminal portion 8, it is impossible to absorb such dimensional variations and make the tension of the head lining constant. There were problems such as wrinkles and sagging, and when it was short, it was stretched too tightly, which adversely affected durability.

(Purpose of the invention) In view of these conventional problems, the present invention provides a structure for the attachment part of the head lining that can reduce wasted space as much as possible and keep the tension level constant. With the goal.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, a locking member having a male side engagement protrusion formed on one side of the base plate is attached to the end of the headlining on the side of the vehicle. A plurality of female fitting grooves into which the above-mentioned engaging protrusions can be fitted and locked are provided in parallel on one side of the board, and a locking clip is provided on the other side. The locking clip of the protruding fixing member is inserted into the mounting hole formed at a predetermined position of the roof panel inner at a predetermined distance above the lower joining end of the roof panel outer and roof panel inner. selectively fitting and locking the engaging protrusion of the locking member into one of the fitting grooves of the fixing member facing the locking member, and using a roof side garnish, The present invention is characterized by a structure of a mounting portion of the head lining that covers a portion lower than the end portion of the head lining.

(Embodiments) Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Incidentally, the same elements as in the conventional example shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 are given the same reference numerals, and the explanation thereof will be omitted.

1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1 shows a locking member 11 according to this embodiment, and FIG. 2 shows a fixing member 12.

The locking member 11 is formed by integrally forming a male engagement protrusion 14 protruding from one surface of a flat substrate 13, and in this embodiment, the engagement protrusion 14 has an approximately arrow-shaped cross section. It is continuous in the width direction of the substrate 13 with the same cross section.

On the other hand, the fixing member 12 has a flat body 15.
A plurality of female side fitting grooves 17 are formed on one surface of the substrate 15 from which ribs 15b are formed protrudingly at both ends in the length direction of a, and a locking clip is formed on the surface on the protruding side of the other rib 15b. 18 are integrally formed in a protruding manner.

Each of the fitting grooves 17 has substantially the same cross-sectional shape as the engaging protrusion 14, and a pair of protrusions 1 are formed to protrude in parallel with each other in the width direction of the substrate 15.
One groove 17 is formed by 9 and 19, and a plurality of protrusions 19 are provided in parallel with each other as shown in the figure, so that a plurality of fitting grooves 17 are provided in parallel between each protrusion 19. The engaging protrusion 14 is fitted into each of the fitting grooves 17,
The dimensions between the protrusions 19 are set so that they can engage with each other.

Further, as shown in the figure, the locking clip has a substantially anchor-shaped cross section and is continuously formed by a predetermined width in the width direction of the board 15, and has a pair of elastic legs 20, 20.
A locking step portion 21 is formed at each tip of the holder.

Note that the locking member 11 and the fixing member 12 are each molded from a flexible elastic body such as synthetic resin.

Therefore, in this embodiment, when installing the head lining 5, as shown in FIG.
A predetermined number of locking members 11 are disposed at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and a substrate 13 is overlapped with a predetermined width on the end portion 52 and fixed in advance by appropriate means such as welding.

On the other hand, the parts of the roof panel inner 4 corresponding to the above-mentioned respective arrangement positions of the locking member 11 are also preliminarily placed at a position above the lower joint end portion 8 of the roof panel outer 3 and the roof panel inner 4 by a predetermined distance. Mounting holes 22 are formed as shown in the figure, and a clip 18 for locking the fixing member 12 is formed into a corresponding shape in each mounting hole 22.
By fitting and inserting the locking step portion 21 of the clip 18 into the opening edge of the mounting hole 22 in a manner that prevents it from coming off, each fixing member 1 is attached to the roof panel inner 4.

Thereafter, the roof side garnish 23 covers the lower part of the head lining 5 than the end 52 in a design manner to complete the installation.

In this embodiment, the roof side garnish 23 has a U-shaped cross section and has a projection 24 inside.
The flange processing portion 24 provided with the flange processing portion 24 fits and locks into the panel terminal portion 8 to cover the terminal portion 8, and the upper end 25a of the main body portion 25 integrally extended from the flange processing portion 24 is engaged. The stop member 11 is elastically abutted against the interior side surface of the head lining end 52 slightly above the joining portion with the base plate 13.

Therefore, in this embodiment having the above configuration, the head lining end 52 is not fixed at the panel end portion 8 as in the conventional case, but is fixed at a position above the end portion 8 by a predetermined dimension. A locking member 11 and a fixing member 1 are attached to the inner 4.
2, the space S between the head lining 5 and the roof panel inner 4 can inevitably be made smaller compared to the conventional example, and the space inside the vehicle can be reduced accordingly. The effective space can be expanded.

In addition, when attaching the head lining 5, the engaging protrusion 14 of the locking member 11 fixed to the head lining end 52 is inserted into any one of the fitting grooves 17 of the fixing member 12 facing thereto. Since the fitting projection 14 is selectively fitted and locked in the position shown in FIG. Therefore, even if there is a dimensional error in manufacturing the head lining 5, the error can be absorbed and the tensioning degree can always be set constant.

In addition, if the head lining 5 expands or contracts due to seasonal changes in temperature or humidity conditions, and the tension becomes loose or too strong, the roof side garnish 23 can be removed and engaged. By changing the fitting position of the protrusion 14 into the fitting groove 17, the degree of tension of the head lining 5 can be easily set to the optimum state.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and may be modified, for example, by changing the shape of the engagement protrusion 14 of the locking member 11 and the corresponding shape of each fitting groove 17 of the fixing member 12, or the shape of the fitting protrusion 14 of the locking member 11, or It is understood that various modifications may be made to the set number of grooves 17, the shape of the locking clip 18, the shape of the flange processing portion 24 of the roof side garnish 23, etc. without departing from the gist of the present invention. Needless to say.
