Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for mounting a roof visor for a vehicle, and more specifically, to an opening, a slide roof for opening and closing the opening, and a deflector standing upright in front of the opening. And the deflector is pivotally attached to an arm having a leaf spring, with a pivot that is loosely fitted by a slide guide together with a slide piece fixed to the roof and integrated with the deflector as a fulcrum, to open the slide roof. The present invention relates to a method for attaching a roof visor that is attached so as to cover a front end portion of a skylight of a vehicle having a skylight having a structure that stands up in conjunction with.

(B) Conventional technology As a method of attaching a roof visor, a bolt insertion hole is drilled in the roof of an automobile and fixed with a bolt, or a flange portion that adheres to the roof is provided at a contact edge with the roof. There is known a technique of sticking with, or extending mounting arms on both left and right sides, and joining both ends of the arms to a gutter of a roof.

In addition, a hook is used for Jitsukai Sho 56-170017,
A method is disclosed in which the lower portion is hooked and attached to the bent portion around the opening.

(C) Problems to be solved by the invention In the above-mentioned conventional mounting method, the technique of directly bolting the bolt insertion hole to the roof of the automobile and bolting it causes damage to the vehicle body, and the double-sided adhesive tape falls off due to insufficient adhesive strength. There is a risk of the problem, and the one that is fixed to the gutter with the mounting arm is not well-formed.

Although the method of Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 56-170017 solves these problems, the skylight having a deflector having a biasing force always standing up in tandem with the opening operation of the slide roof has a problem. The deflector is an obstacle, and as a result, only a roof visor with a large bulge on the front part can be attached, resulting in poor aerodynamic characteristics and outdated styling.

D. Means for Solving the Problem The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art. The gist of the present invention is that the slide roof is once slid backward to remove the arm, and the slide piece is attached to the base of the slide guide. While pressing it against the end, insert one side piece of the U-shaped slide lock member into the loop of the slide guide, and in that state attach the arm again to hold the deflector in the lying state, then, after that, the roof visor The roof visor is opened in the skylight by hooking the hook part of the hook member attached with bolts and nuts to the flange inside the opening using the through holes formed near the front edge and both left and right edges. It is to fix to the front end of the upper surface of the part.

E action After once removing the arm and making the deflector movable, if one side piece of the slide lock member is clamped in the loop of the slide guide, the slide piece cannot move freely in the loop of the slide guide, or,
The reachable distance on the free end side (opposite to the pivoting side) of the deflector pivotally attached is shortened by the length of the slide lock member. It becomes impossible.

Since the deflector is again engaged with the arm in this state, the deflector is always kept in the laid-down state despite the fact that the leaf spring of the arm urges the rising force.

Therefore, the roof visor does not interfere with the deflector, a roof visor with a small bulge on the front part can be attached, and the hook member is hidden inside the roof visor.
The appearance is also good.

F. Example A method of attaching a roof visor according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings for a roof visor formed to be attached to a skylight formed on a roof of a wagon type automobile.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a roof panel, 2 is a roof visor, and 3 is an opening forming a skylight.
A flange 31 is bent downward along the inner peripheral edge of the opening 3, and the roof panel 1 is provided with a body frame 4 continuously and closely attached to the back surface of the roof panel 1 toward the side surface of the flange 31. ing. The roof visor 2 is a plate-shaped body made of synthetic resin having a raised central portion that conforms to the outer peripheral shape of the opening 3. The roof visor 2 is cut at the rear, and the front and left and right edges are the outer surface of the roof panel 1. A flange 21 is formed so as to be in close contact with, and a packing molding 22 is provided around the outer edge of the flange 21. In the vicinity of the front edge and the left and right edges of the visor body 23, two bolt insertion holes 24 are formed at an appropriate interval, one at each of the front side and one at each of the left and right sides. The collar portion 21 is intended to strengthen the visor body 23 and to adhere to the roof panel surface, but the collar portion 21 can be omitted if the visor body 23 is thickened. An inner panel 5 is provided below the body frame 4 at a predetermined interval.
The inner panel 5 has a projecting portion 51 formed on the inner circumference of the opening 3 by cutting out a portion of the opening 3 slightly smaller than the opening surface. Arms 61, to which a rising force is applied by a leaf spring, are pivotally attached to the left and right sides of the projecting portion 51, and the tip ends thereof are pivotally attached to both side ends of a deflector 6 provided orthogonal to the arms 61. Has been done. In the deflector 6, a slide piece 63 provided at the lower end of the deflector 6 is rotatably fitted by a flat loop-shaped slide guide 62 together with a support shaft 64 fixed to the projecting portion 51. With the fulcrum as a fulcrum, it is guided by the arm 61 to be tilted up and down. In the space between the body frame 4 and the inner panel 5, a slide roof 7 crosses the opening 3 and closes or opens the opening 3. In the state where the opening 3 is closed, the arm 61 is pushed down by the slide roof 7, and the deflector 6 is lying down. However, when the slide roof 7 slides backward and the opening 3 is opened, The arm 61 rises, and the deflector 6 is linked to the opening operation of the slide roof 7 and stands upright at the front edge of the opening.

In order to attach the roof visor 2, first, as a pre-operation, the slide roof 7 is slid backward to remove the arm 61, so that the deflector 6 can be freely moved by hand. Then, the slide piece 63 is pressed against the base end of the slide guide 62 and moved, and the plate-shaped rectangular slide lock member 8 is clamped to the one side piece of the slide guide 62 so that the one side piece is inserted into the loop of the slide guide 62. Let

As a result, the slide piece 63 is moved to the slide guide 62.
The movable end of the deflector 6 pivotally pivotally attached to the free end side (opposite to the pivot attachment side) of the slide lock member 8 is
Therefore, the deflector 6 cannot be engaged unless the arm 61 falls down. Here, the slide lock member 8 fixes the slide piece 63 below the slide guide 62, and may be simply inserted into the loop of the slide guide 62.

Next, the roof visor 2 is fixed to the front end of the opening 3 with a hook member.

The hook member is composed of a front mounting member 9 and a side mounting member 9 ', both of which are formed of a metal plate bent in a V shape at the substantially central portion, and the upper base end has a visor body. Abutting portions 10, 10 'that are in close contact with the back surface of 23 are provided, and the lower tips are hook portions 11, 11'.
A female screw 12 is engraved on the abutting portion 10 of the front attachment fitting 9, and a bolt insertion hole 12 'in the shape of an elongated hole is cut out at the abutment portion 10' of the one side attachment fitting 9 '. The position of the bolt can be adjusted by sliding in the longitudinal direction of the insertion hole 12 '.

In order to mount the roof visor using these hook members, as shown in FIG. 2, the hook portion 11 of the front mounting bracket 9 is locked to the front flange 31 inside the opening and the washer 13 is used. Then, the female screw 12 and the bolt 14 are tightened. In this mounting work, first, loosely temporarily fix it. Next, the hook 1 of the side fitting 9 '
1'is a flange 3 that corresponds to the left and right side edges of the sunroof opening
The bolt insertion holes 12 ′ at the base end are aligned with the bolt insertion holes 24, and the bolts 14, washers 13, and cap nuts 15 are used to temporarily fix the bolts. Then, the roof visor 2 is moved forward, backward, leftward and rightward so that the hook member comes into contact with the inner peripheral edge of the opening 3, and the hook member is finally tightened.

If the number of hook members is increased or the width of the hook portion is widened, more stable mounting is possible.

In this way, the roof visor is attached by a simple operation, and the hook member is not conspicuous and is securely fixed. Further, since the deflector is treated so as not to stand up even when the skylight is opened, there is no problem even if the bulge of the roof visor is small.

Effect of the Invention Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to easily attach the roof visor to the vehicle having the deflector with good appearance.

Further, since it is possible to attach a roof visor having a small bulge on the front surface portion, the aesthetic appearance is improved and the aerodynamic characteristics are also improved.

Further, when the roof visor is removed, the deflector can be effectively operated only by removing the slide lock member.
