Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an opening in a part of the roof, attaches a movable roof to the opening, and slides the movable roof to open and close the entrance. This invention relates to a support structure for a decorative panel mounted on the inside of a movable roof in a so-called opening/closing roof type moving vehicle whose rear part can be tilted upward to ventilate the interior of the vehicle.

As shown in Figure 1, a closing part b is provided on the roof (fixed roof) a of an automobile, and a movable roof c is attached to the closing part, so that the movable roof c slides rearward from the closed state as shown in Figure A. In a so-called opening/closing roof type moving vehicle which can be brought into the open state as shown in Figure C and also tilted up from the closed state as shown in Figure C, there is a movable roof lower surface and a movable roof on the underside of the movable roof c. Decorative panels must be installed to cover various guide mechanisms for roof operation and improve the aesthetics of the vehicle interior.

The decorative plate is iron-supported on guide rails provided on both sides of the vehicle so that it can slide together with the movable roof when the movable roof slides back and forth, and when the movable roof is tilted up, the decorative plate is The rear part must be constructed so that it can be lifted upwards together with the movable roof, and when it is down, it can be returned to a slidable state by being guided by the guide rails as described above.

The present invention aims to provide a support structure for a decorative laminate that can satisfy the above-mentioned demands, and will be described below with reference to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.

In Figs. 2 and 3, 1 is the cemented bran main body, 2 is the side green part joined to both sides of the decorative board main body, and the side twill member 2 protrudes upward in the front part and has an acutely pointed tip. A protruding pawl 3 is integrally formed, and a rear drain support portion 4 that engages and supports a rear drain, which will be described later, is bent and formed at the rear end. A plurality of clip attachment holes 5 are provided in the front green of the decorative board body 1 for attachment to the lower surface of the front edge of the movable roof, and clip attachment holes 5 are provided in the side twill members 2 in the front portions of both sides of the body 1. A locking hole 6 into which the protruding claw 3 is inserted is provided, and an engaging portion 7 is welded or otherwise connected to the rear lower surface of the movable roof on the upper surface of the rear portion of both sides of the main body 1. It is installed by

In the above configuration, the interior material is attached to the lower surface of the decorative board main body 1 over the entire surface so as to cover the front and rear edges and the green edges on both sides, and then the protruding claws 3 of the side edge members 2 are inserted into the interior material from below. The side green member 2 is attached to the decorative board main body 1 by pulling it out, inserting it into the locking hole 6, and bending the tip of the protruding claw 3 as shown in the second figure.

The decorative board configured as described above is locked by inserting the clip 8 into the mounting hole 5 provided in the front twill part and the locking hole provided in the lower surface of the front edge of the movable roof (not shown), and the rear part is shown in FIG. It is attached to the movable roof by engaging the connecting device 10 attached to the movable roof finner 9 with the engagement ring 7 formed on the decorative panel main body 11.

As shown in FIG. 4, the connecting device wing Q' is a core member 10a such as a bolt or pin that is screwed into the screw hole ga formed in the movable roof finner 9, and the head amount oa' of the core member 10a is vertical. The engaging flange portion 1 formed on the cylinder portion 10b is composed of a cylinder portion 10b which is slidable so as to be slidable, a compression spring seat 10d, etc.
0b' is iron-fitted to a C-shaped channel-shaped engaging portion 7 formed on the decorative board main body 1.

A compression spring IQc is interposed between the movable roof finner 9 and the engaging portion 7, and presses the head 10a' against the inner surface of the stopper section Qb'' at the upper end of the cylinder 0b.
'The state is maintained with a predetermined amount of play 1 downward.

In the above configuration, when performing the opening operation from the closed state shown in Fig. 1, as shown in Fig. At that time, in FIG. 4, as the movable roof finner 9 descends, the compression spring 10c is compressed, and the core member 10a slides downward in the cylinder portion 10b as shown by the chain line, and the movable roof finner 9 and the decorative laminate main body are compressed. Make the space between them 4 cm vertically and slide backwards in that state.

When the movable roof slides forward from the open state and then rises to the closed state where it is flush with the fixed roof, as the movable roof rises, the core member 10a is moved by the restoring force of the compression spring 10c. The state shown by the chain line returns to the state shown by the solid line.

During each of the above movable roof closing and closing operations, the decorative board body 1
is always pressed and supported by the compression spring 10c, and no problems such as rattling occur.

When tilting up the movable roof, the cylinder part 10b
Due to the engagement between the engaging flange portion 10b' and the engaging portion 7, the rear portion of the decorative laminate main body is pulled upward away from the side edge member 2 as the movable roof finner 9 rises.

As described above, according to the present invention, the rear part of the axis support plate is used as a movable roof, and a core member such as a bolt or pin and a cylinder member are combined to be able to expand and contract with each other, and a spring biased in a direction to extend the core member. By exploring a configuration in which the movable roof is connected through a connecting device, the downward and upward displacements of the movable roof at the initial stage when sliding backward and at the latter stage when sliding forward can be obtained by contraction and expansion operations with the core member. In addition, since the contraction and expansion are carried out while being supported by springs, rattling during operation is prevented, and even when the movable roof is tilted up, the rear part of the decorative panel can be pulled up by the above-mentioned connecting device, and the overall effect is accurate. Since the operation can be guaranteed, it can bring about great practical effects.

In the figure, reference numeral 11 denotes a rear drain, and the rear drain is provided at the rear end of the side edge member 2 of the decorative board or is engaged and supported by the rear drain support portion 4.

When the movable roof is closed, the rear drain 11 receives rainwater and the like that have entered between the rear green of the movable roof and the rear green of the Sekiguchi portion, and discharges it to the outside.
