Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial field of application> The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a molded ceiling for a vehicle.
Particularly, when fixing a molded ceiling to a vehicle body panel, the present invention relates to a mounting structure in which the position can be adjusted by temporarily fixing the molded ceiling in advance.

《Prior Art》 As shown in Fig. 5, the molded ceiling of an automobile, etc. is made by positioning the molded ceiling body 1 on the roof rail 3 of the car body panel 2, and arranging grips, interior lights, sun visors, inside mirrors, etc. on the ceiling. It is fixed together with the base 4, which is a separate component, by screws 5, for example. In addition, the terminal part of the molded ceiling body 1 is
This is done with a trim or garnish that is attached to the flange or retainer around the roof.

<<Problems to be solved by the invention>> By the way, in this type of mounting structure, the large molded ceiling body 1 made of one piece is held down with the head and one hand of the worker and positioned on the roof rail 3, and I had to use my other hand to tighten the screws. For this reason, the relative positions of the molded ceiling body 1 and the roof rail 3 may shift, and screwing operations cannot be performed in a concentrated manner, resulting in a time-consuming installation process and extremely poor work efficiency.

Therefore, the inventor of the present invention discovered that by configuring the molded ceiling body 1 so that it can be temporarily fixed in advance, the problems of the prior art can be eliminated, and the inventors have arrived at the present invention.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In other words, the present invention is a mounting structure for a molded ceiling for a vehicle in which a molded ceiling body is fixed to a roof rail of a vehicle body panel as a separate part, wherein the molded ceiling is attached to the molded ceiling body. A locking piece extending outward is integrally provided at the end portion of the roof rail, and the roof rail is temporarily secured by inserting the locking piece into a locking hole provided in the roof rail.

<<Operation>> According to this configuration, the molded ceiling is temporarily fixed by simply inserting the locking piece into the locking hole of the roof rail, so that positioning operations and mounting operations using screws, etc. can be performed efficiently using both hands. The Rukoto.

<<Example>> Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 shown as an example.

A first embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 1-3. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the molded ceiling body 10 is made up of a cardboard base material 11 press-molded into the shape of the inner surface of the ceiling, and a skin material 12 affixed to the inner surface of the base material 11. Mounting holes 10a, 10b, 10c for separate parts such as lamps, assist grips, sun visors, etc. are provided as appropriate, and locking pieces 20a, 20b extending outward from the end portion 13 of the curved side are provided on both sides at a constant interval. It is provided.

The molded ceiling body 10 molded in this manner has the respective locking pieces 20a, 20b inserted into engagement holes 32 provided corresponding to the roof rails 31 of the vehicle body panel 30.
By inserting it through the hole, it is temporarily fixed at multiple locations and the position is adjusted (see Fig. 1). This temporary fix is
First, insert the locking pieces 20a and 20b on one side into each engagement hole 3.
By inserting the locking pieces 20a and 20b on the other side into the corresponding engagement holes 32 by using the elastic return of the molded ceiling body 10 to return to its original shape. Easy to do.

Then, the temporarily fixed molded ceiling 10 is attached together with separate parts around the ceiling in the same manner as in the past, and terminal processing is performed by attaching a garnish 40 or the like to the terminal section 13. Become. Note that the garnish 40 includes:
Although not shown, a grip is provided on the inner wall.
It can be attached by inserting this grip into the insertion hole on the roof rail 30 side. Therefore, the engagement holes 32 provided corresponding to the locking pieces 20a, 20b can be provided at the same time as the insertion holes for the grip, and may be formed in addition to the insertion holes. This simplifies processing.

The base material 11 of the molded ceiling main body 10 is formed by setting a blank cut according to the size of the inner surface of the ceiling in a lower mold 50 as shown in FIG. Press molded to the inner shape. In this case, the base material 11 is cut to a size that allows for a clamping allowance of about 30 mm during press molding, so that the clamp portion 11a can be clamped by the presser pad 51a during molding. In the press product formed in this way, the clamp part 11a is joined together as it is, and by trimming after bonding the skin material 12 to the inner surface of the base material 11, the molded ceiling body 10 is formed as shown in FIG. is completed. Therefore, the locking pieces 20a, 20b can be molded using the clamp portion 11a, so that the clamp portion 11a, which was conventionally cut, can be effectively used.

FIG. 4 is a schematic sectional view showing a second embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 4, the same parts as in FIGS. 1 to 3 are given the same reference numerals, and redundant explanation will be omitted. The molded ceiling body 10 includes the locking pieces 20a,
Similarly to 20b, locking pieces 200a and 200b extending outward from the end portion 13 of the curved side portion are provided at regular intervals. This locking piece 200a is molded using the clamp part 11a as described above, but it is bent through the thin recess 11b that is threaded during press molding, and is bent through the engagement hole 32 of the roof rail 31. It is inserted in a bent state and temporarily secured. Therefore, the locking piece 200a closes the engagement hole 3 due to the repulsive force caused by bending.
Since it is pressed into contact with 2, it is possible to prevent it from coming off, and it also provides a sound insulation effect against chattering noises and the like.

<<Effect of the invention>> As explained above, according to the invention, after the molded ceiling body is temporarily fixed in advance by inserting the locking piece into the engagement hole of the roof rail, the positioning operation and the positioning operation can be carried out by effectively using both hands. Since the installation operation can be performed using screws, etc., the installation work becomes easy and work efficiency can be greatly increased.
