b. Conventional technology Conventionally, ceilings, floors, seats, etc. in the interior of an automobile are
This is a major factor that affects the comfort of a car. In particular, the ceiling emphasizes strength, cost, and appearance, as well as heat insulation and sound absorption effects from the outside of the vehicle, and how to effectively hide the exposed part inside the body structure made of rolled metal plate. Has devised and improved various ceiling structures as needed.

On the other hand, the number of passenger cars or wagons in which a sunroof is attached to a roof panel for incorporating light into the interior of an automobile tends to gradually increase. In such a sunroof type vehicle, in order to take in the outside air with the light,
There are also sunroofs that are tilted or slidable.

In recent years, molded ceilings have been used as ceiling members for automobiles, such as the sunroof type automobiles. And, as for the processing of the terminal portion, a so-called fitting structure in which the roof inner panel is covered with a trim and the terminal portion of the ceiling member is inserted into a gap with the roof outer panel is often used.

c. Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-mentioned conventional ceiling member having the insertion structure, since the end portion of the member is entirely inserted, in addition to the variation in the body structure at the assembly position, the variation in the gap, and the ceiling. There is a problem that workability is extremely poor due to the increase in size of the member itself. Further, if the gap is made large so as to be easily inserted, there is a possibility that a problem of rattling may occur.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and provide a molded ceiling of an automobile having good assembly workability in the interior of the automobile.

d. Means for Solving the Problems The constitution of the present invention for achieving the above-mentioned object is, in a molded ceiling stretched in the interior of an automobile, the whole area from the rear end side of the molded ceiling to the surface of the ceiling. Eave-shaped first and second guide projection edges having different heights and parallel to the surface of the ceiling and different insertion lengths are formed, and the first guide projection edges slide on the sliding roof. In order to avoid the guide rail for making it, the height thereof is lower than that of the second guide protrusion edge, and the parallel insertion length thereof is formed to be long, and when the molded ceiling is mounted on an automobile,
Of the gap between the roof outer panel and the roof inner panel, it serves as a guide for inserting into the gap at a position corresponding to the position of the guide rail, and the second guide protrusion edge is at a position corresponding to the position of the guide rail. It is characterized in that it serves as a guide for inserting into the gaps other than the above.

e. Embodiment Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be exemplarily described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a sunroof type automobile 1 in which a molded ceiling according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed, and FIG. 2 shows a side view thereof. In FIG. 1, a sliding sunroof (made of glass) 2 of the automobile 1 is attached to an outer surface of a roof outer panel 3 and slides along a guide rail 4 (for example, by an electric method) to be opened and closed. There is.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the left half of the molded ceiling 5 according to one embodiment of the present invention, showing only one part divided left and right along the vehicle center line, and the other part is symmetrical with respect to the vehicle center line. Since it is a shape, illustration is omitted. The molded ceiling 5 is arranged so that the front portion shown in the drawing is attached to the front portion of the automobile 1. The molded ceiling 5 has three parts along the broken line indicated by 6 and 7 in FIG. 3, that is, the first ceiling part.
It is divided into 5 _-1 , a second ceiling portion 5 _-2 , and a third ceiling portion 5 _-3 . These first, second and third ceiling parts 5 _-1 , 5, _-2 , 5 _-3 are
It has a shape in which the sliding sunroof 2, the tilt sunroof (made of glass) 8 and the roof side window (made of glass) 9 of the automobile 1 in which this is arranged are punched out.

The concave portion 11 provided in the bent portion 10 at the rear end of the third ceiling portion 5 _-3 corresponds to the position where the guide rail 4 on which the sliding sunroof 2 slides passes, and avoids this while assembling. Is a portion that forms the edge of the guide protrusion.

FIG. 4 shows a partial perspective view in which the recess 11 is partially enlarged and two portions are broken. FIG. 5 shows a plan view of the recess 11, and FIG. 6 shows a sectional view taken along the line VI-VI of FIG.

As shown in 4,5,6 figure, bent portions 10 provided to the ceiling surface 12 of the ceiling member 5 _-3 is inclined obliquely rearward, the side surface over the rear end the entire region of the ceiling member 5 _-3 Further, an eave-shaped guide protrusion edge 13 is formed substantially in parallel with the ceiling surface 12 (or the roof outer panel 3) from the top of the bent portion 10 except for the recess 11. ing. On the other hand, the ceiling surface 12 (or the roof outer panel 3) is similarly formed on the bottom surface 14 of the recess 11.
An eave-shaped guide protrusion edge 15 is formed to extend substantially parallel to the. These guide projection edges 13 and 15 are the ceiling surface 12
With respect to (or the roof outer panel 3), guide projection edges having different heights and parallel to the ceiling surface 12 and different insertion lengths are formed.

FIGS. 7 and 8 are sectional views showing the mounting of the molded ceiling 5 when it is assembled to an automobile. In FIG. 7, the guide protrusion edge 13 is
The figure shows a state in which the guide projection edges 15 formed in the recess 11 are inserted into the gaps d of the body of the automobile 1, respectively, and the chain double-dashed line shows the positional relationship immediately before mounting. Here, 3 is a roof outer panel, 16 is a roof inner panel, and 17 is a trim.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the guide protrusion edge 15 formed in the recess 11 on the rear end side of the molded ceiling 5 is extended rearward from the other guide protrusion edge 13, so that it is easy to assemble. First of all, the worker firstly guides the guide projection edge 15 of the molded ceiling 5.
Is inserted as a guide into the gap d between the roof outer panel 3 of the body and the roof inner panel 16 at a position corresponding to the position of the guide rail 4 for the sliding sunroof 2. After that, positioning is performed while lightly inserting the other guide protrusion edge 13 into the other gap d to guide the molded ceiling 5 temporarily and accurately. And after temporary installation,
An operator inserts the rear end portion of the molded ceiling 5 into the gap d of the body together and evenly. Also at this time, since the molded ceiling 5 is accurately temporarily attached, it becomes easy to insert it. After mounting, the molded ceiling 5 is appropriately fixed to the body with screws or the like. The molded ceiling 5 after installation
As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the insertion lengths l ₁ and l ₂ of the guide protrusion edges 13 and 15 of the guide protrusion edge 15 of the recess 11 are longer than that of the guide protrusion edge 13. . Further, since both of the guide projection edges 13 and 15 are inserted at the same time, the structure is relatively rigid and is hard to break.

Therefore, when the molded ceiling of this embodiment is assembled into an automobile, its workability is extremely improved. In addition, the insertion gap in the body can be made small, so there is no rattling and it looks good.

In this embodiment, one recess is provided on one side of the molded ceiling, but the number can be increased as much as possible in terms of work.

f. Effect of the Invention As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, the height from the surface of the ceiling is different over the entire rear end side of the molded ceiling stretched in the interior of the automobile, and the ceiling of the ceiling is different. Forming eave-shaped first and second guide protrusion edges that are parallel to the surface and have different insertion lengths, and the first guide protrusion edges avoid the guide rails for the sliding roof so that the second guide protrusion edges are formed. The height of the protrusion is lower than that of the projecting edge, and its parallel insertion length is long, so that when the molded ceiling is mounted on an automobile, a position corresponding to the position of the guide rail in the gap of the body is set. Since it serves as a guide for inserting into the gap, and the second guide protrusion edge serves as a guide for inserting into the gap other than that position,
Using these guide protrusion edges, in the gap of the body,
The rear end side of the molded ceiling becomes easy to insert. For this reason,
When the molded ceiling is assembled in an automobile, the workability can be extremely improved because it can be accurately positioned on the body. Further, since the gap can be made small, the problem of rattling is unlikely to occur.
