Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a ceiling lining structure for an automobile.

The ceiling lining formed on the underside of the roof panel of an automobile is either a suspended ceiling material or a molded ceiling material. In this case, assembly work is difficult due to variations in the dimensions of the body or ceiling material, and costs tend to be high, especially in the case of molded ceilings.
On the other hand, in the case of suspended ceiling materials, it is structurally difficult to secure a sufficient clearance between the ceiling and the head of the rear seat occupant.

The present invention provides a ceiling lining structure that improves these conventional problems.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
In FIG. 1, 1 is a roof panel. The ceiling lining material formed on the lower surface of the roof panel 1, that is, on the inside of the vehicle interior, has a suspended ceiling material 2 in front of approximately the center and a molded ceiling material 3 in the rear. and,
Both ceilings 2 and 3 are joined at the substantially central portion by a joining groove structure 4.

An embodiment of this joining structure 4 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.

First, in the first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the end molded body 2a of the suspended ceiling material 2 and the end 3a of the molded ceiling material 3 are overlapped and connected by the end fixing spring 6, It is bonded to a vibration isolating material 5 which also serves as height regulation and which is bonded to the lower surface of the roof panel 1. As shown in FIG. 3, this joint structure 4 is fixed to the roof side member 8 with screws or clips 9.

In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG.
is fixed with adhesive 14, and the end of the suspended ceiling material 2 is hung thereon with a hook 10, and the hook 11, which is adhesively fixed to the end of the molded ceiling material 3, is overlapped with the end of the suspended ceiling material 2. It is latched onto the roof reinforcement 13.
Reference numeral 15 indicates an adhesive for partially adhering the joint portion to the lower surface of the roof panel 1, and 12 indicates a head protection pad material interposed between the suspended ceiling 2 and the roof reinforcement 13.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, the suspended ceiling material 2 and the molded ceiling material 3 are constructed with an area that is half of the total area of the lower surface of the roof panel 1, resulting in cost reduction. In particular, the molded ceiling material 3 in the rear ceiling material solves the problem of not being able to provide a sufficient gap for the occupant's head.

In addition, since both ceiling materials 2 and 3 are joined approximately in the center by a joining structure 4 as shown in FIGS. This makes the installation process extremely easy. Furthermore, there is an advantage in that there are no gaps or differences in the joints and the appearance is improved.
