To provide a lift guide adjusting device which achieves the above with a simple structure.

Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing the installation state of the lift guide member.
Since the structure of the sliding roof device is as described above, the entire explanation will be omitted, and the same parts will be described with the same reference numerals.

In FIG. 5, 5 is a stay that supports the roof member 4, 6 is an arm that connects the stay 5 and the slider 1 via a link 8, and in front of the arm 6 is a slope 12a whose front line is shaped like an oblique cam. A lift guide part 12 is provided protrudingly, and -
Specifically, the lift guide portion 12 is constructed by covering it with a cap made of synthetic resin or the like having a small coefficient of friction.

On the other hand, a lift guide member 13 made of synthetic resin or the like having a small coefficient of friction is provided at a predetermined position on the bottom part 10a forming the groove of the guide rail 10, and the front part of the guide member 13 is sloped as described above. 13a is provided.

A stay 14 extends behind the guide member 13, and the tip 14a of the stay 14 is embedded or fixed in the upper part of the guide member 13, and the stay 14 is bent downward into an L shape from the rear of the guide member 13. The mounting part 14b is suspended and extends in contact with the bottom part 10a of the rail, and has a long hole 15 in the middle part.

A mounting hole 16 is provided in the bottom part 10b of the rail, and the rail 10
Insert the bolt 18 through the frame 17 under the holes 16, 15.
through the nut 19 and the bolt 18 through the washer 20.
The stay 14 is screwed onto the mounting portion 14b of the stay 14 from above and screwed to connect the stay 14 to the rail 10.

By fixing this stay 14, the guide member 13 is fixed.

In the above, since the stay 14 is provided with the elongated hole 15, it can be slid back and forth within the range of the elongated hole 15, and the guide member 13 connected to the stay 14 can be shifted back and forth for adjustment.

A portion of the lower surface of the guide member 13 is provided with an upwardly recessed portion 21, and the lower surface of the four portions 21 is continuously provided with teeth 22 consisting of a large number of palindromes.

On the other hand, a guide set member 23 that fits into the recess 21 is provided on the bottom 10a of the rail 10, and teeth 24 that engage with the teeth 22 are provided on the upper surface of the guide set member 23, and the member 23 projects downward. The provided locking portion 23a is fixed by force-fitting or the like into a mounting hole 25 provided in the bottom portion 10a of the rail 10, and the position of the member 23 is fixed with respect to the rail 10.

In the above, the lift guide member 13 is adjusted back and forth along the long hole 15 of the stay 14, and in this case, the guide member 13
is engaged with the set member 23 through the teeth 22 and 24, so by picking up the guide member 13 and lifting it, adjusting it using the long hole 15, and then releasing the guide member 13, the teeth 2
2.24 is engaged.

Therefore, the adjustment of the guide member 13 in the front-rear direction is performed using the teeth 22.24.
However, the pitch of the teeth is actually very small and poses no practical problem.

After adjusting in this way, bolt 18 and nut 19 are screwed.

Therefore, the guide member 13 has teeth 22 and teeth 2 of the set member 23.
4, and is thus fixed at a predetermined position, and even if the guide part 12 on the roof member 4 side repeatedly collides with it, it will be prevented from shifting in the impact direction, and the guide member 13
Even if the bolts and nuts are screwed in the elongated holes 15, the guide set prevents them from moving back and forth due to loosening of the bolts and nuts due to the presence of the bolts and nuts.

After setting in a predetermined position in this manner, this position is held.

As described above, the lift guide portion 12 provided on the stay 5 collides with the slope 13a of the lift guide member 13, causing the stay 5 to rise and the roof member to rise.

In this case, the stay 5 moves upward while being guided by the slope 13a, but at the limit of upward movement, the lift-up link 8 stands upright and collides with the wall 26a of the stopper 26, preventing the stay 5 from moving forward. be done.

In this case, the link 8 and the lift guide part 12 are provided to be shifted in the width direction, so that the lift guide member also serves as a stopper and can restrict the forward limit of the roof member.

Therefore, by adjusting the lift guide member, it is possible to easily adjust the fit between the opening and the roof member when the opening is closed, and it is possible to prevent stopping only due to a collision between the front end of the roof member and the front edge of the opening. It will not damage roof members, openings, or seals.

As is clear from the above, according to the present invention, the lift guide member is adjusted by the elongated hole and can be adjusted by the pitch of the teeth of the guide set member, and after adjustment, the guide set member and the lift guide member are engaged by the teeth. Because it is fixed, the lift guide member is adjustable and securely held at a fixed position, and the lift position is reliably maintained even if the guide part on the roof member side is repeatedly hit. In addition to preventing misalignment of the lift position, incomplete closure or damage to the roof components, and ensuring the sliding roof functions accurately, structurally, all that is required is the addition of set components.
It is simple, the teeth can be easily molded by molding the guide member and the set member from synthetic resin, and an effective device can be obtained at low cost.
