Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a vehicle body structure in which harnesses are disposed above the side roof rails of the vehicle body.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems] Harnesses for electrical wiring, wash tubes for cleaning liquid for rear windows, etc. are sometimes installed on the roof of a vehicle. As shown in FIG. 7, side roof rails 1, 1 are provided on both sides of the upper part of the vehicle. This side roof rail 1 consists of a side roof rail inner 2 and a side roof rail outer 3, which are integrally assembled by spot welding flanges 2a and 3a formed at both upper and lower ends. The above side roof rail outer 3, 3 has a drip channel 4,
4 is welded. Both ends of the roof bows 5, 5 are welded via the drip channel 4, 4. The roof bows 5, 5 are provided apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle as shown in FIG. A roof panel 6 is provided above the roof bows 5, 5, and constitutes the roof of the vehicle. Harnesses for electrical wiring and wash tubes are disposed on the roof of the vehicle, and conventionally, these harnesses W have been fixed in a manner as shown in FIG. 4.
That is, the harnesses W are disposed at the lower part of the upper flange 2a of the inner side roof rail 2, and fixed at appropriate intervals using adhesive tape 7. This method uses an adhesive tape 7, which not only has poor workability, but also has the disadvantage that the roof panel 6 is heated at high temperatures, causing the tape 7 to peel off and the harnesses W to hang down. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of mounting brackets 8 are welded at appropriate intervals below the upper flange 2a of the side roof rail inner 2, and the harness W provided at the lower part of the flange 2a is attached to these mounting brackets. It was fixed by rolling it in with the mounting bracket 8, but although this method can be fixed safely and securely, it is not only cumbersome and takes a long time, but also the mounting bracket 8...
The disadvantage is that the number of parts increases because of the need to prepare .

[Purpose of invention]

This invention was made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a vehicle body structure that can securely fix harnesses without reducing workability.

[Summary of the idea]

In this invention, the side roof rail is composed of an inner side roof rail and an outer side roof rail, and has upper and lower flanges formed at each end thereof joined together, a roof bow arranged above the side roof rail with a predetermined gap, and a vehicle body structure having a roof panel provided on an upper part of a roof bow, in which a tongue piece is formed by extending upwardly the upper flange of the inner side roof rail located at the front and rear of the roof bow among the upper flange joints; A gap is formed between the free end of the tongue and the roof panel, and the harnesses are inserted into the gap existing between the free end of the tongue and the roof panel. The reason is that the tongue piece is configured to be latched on the outdoor side.

[Example of idea]

An embodiment of this invention is shown below in Figures 4 to 7.
The explanation will be given with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, in which the same components are given the same reference numerals. In the figure, numerals 11 and 11 are tongue pieces. The tongue pieces 11, 11 are provided so as to protrude upward integrally with the upper flange 2a of the side roof rail inner 2 of the side roof rail 1 so as to be located at the front and rear of the roof bows 5, 5. As shown in FIG. 3, a harness W disposed on the upper flange 3a of the outer side roof rail 3 is latched by tongues 11, 11. That is, between the free ends of the tongue pieces 11, 11 formed by extending upwardly the upper flanges 2a of the side roof rail inner 2 located at the front and rear of the roof bow 5 and the roof panel 6. A gap is formed between. and,
By inserting the harness W into the gap existing between the free ends of the tongues 11, 11 and the roof panel 6, the harness W is inserted into the tongue 1.
1 and 11 are hung on the outside of the room.

In order to fix the harness W in the device configured as described above, first, as shown in FIG.
By inserting the harness W into the gap existing between the harness W and the free end of the harness W, the harness W is hooked to the outdoor side of the tongue pieces 11 and placed on the upper part of the flange 3a of the outer side roof rail 3. At this time, the harness W tries to hang down toward the indoor side from between the tongue pieces 11, 11, but by pulling both ends of the harness W, the hanging toward the indoor side is eliminated, and at the same time, the harness W is latched onto the tongue piece 11. Fixed.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, in this invention, there is a gap between the free end of the tongue piece formed by extending upward the upper flange of the side roof rail inner located at the front and rear of the roof bow and the roof panel. The harness is latched on the outdoor side of the tongue by inserting the harness into the gap between the free end of the tongue and the roof panel. Therefore, by pulling the harness after passing it through the harness, the harness can be reliably routed and fixed, and the harnesses can be routed while looking upward, resulting in better workability and improved efficiency. be.
