 Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a curtain rail portion with which a curtain runner engages and slides, and a curtain rail portion which is provided so as to project downward to the inside of the vehicle compartment and the end portion of the roof lining is engaged. We have created a retainer that doubles as a car rail and has a combined retainer section.

[0006]

[Action]

 According to the curtain rail combined retainer of the present invention having the above configuration, the curtain rail portion of the combined retainer is first fixed in the vehicle compartment. Next, the end of the roof lining is engaged and fixed to the retainer part. This makes it possible to keep the tension of the roof lining fixed, regardless of how the curtain rail is mounted. Therefore, wrinkles do not occur in the roof lining. At the same time, by attaching the end of the roof lining to the retainer part, the curtain rail part is hidden behind the roof lining. That is, the curtain rails are installed so that they cannot be seen from the inside. In this way, the curtain rail is attached so that the roof lining is not wrinkled and is difficult to see from the inside of the room.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment embodying the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 (a) is a sectional view showing a structure near a corner of a vehicle compartment ceiling, which is constructed by using an embodiment of the curtain rail / retainer of the present invention. The roof side rail 2 formed by the roof side rail outer 2a and the roof side rail inner 2b, the opening trim 4, and the support wire 18 are the same as in the conventional example of FIG. A retainer 6 which also serves as a curtain rail is attached to the roof side rail 2.

The curtain rail / retainer 6 is made of metal, and as shown in FIG. 1 (b), a curtain rail portion 6a and a retainer portion 6b provided on the interior side of the curtain rail so as to project downward. have. The curtain rail portion 6a is provided with mounting holes 6c for every predetermined length, and is fastened and fixed to the inner 2b of the roof side rail 2 by screws 8 in the mounting holes 6c. As a result, the retainer portion 6b of the dual-purpose retainer 6 is provided so as to project downward inside the curtain rail portion 6a, and the end portion of the roof lining 16 is engaged with the retainer portion 6b, so that the opening trim for the roof lining is engaged. It is fixed by 14. On the other hand, the curtain runner 10 is slidably engaged with the curtain rail portion 6a, and the curtain 12 is suspended on the curtain runner 10.

Therefore, the curtain rail portion 6 a of the curtain rail / retainer 6 functions as a curtain rail portion with which the curtain runner 10 engages and slides. Further, the retainer portion 6b is provided so as to project downward toward the interior side of the curtain rail portion, and constitutes an retainer portion with which the end portion of the roof lining 16 is engaged.
