2. Description of the Related Art A roof lining provided on a vehicle interior ceiling is generally used as a vehicle accessory attached to the vehicle interior ceiling.
It is assembled using the mounting bracket, support hook or assist grip of the sun visor. The most common method is to carry the roof lining into the vehicle and temporarily attach it to the body frame, then place the above mounting bracket, support hook or assist grip on the surface of the roof lining from inside the room, and screw or clip on the body frame. The roof lining is fixed by performing an operation of fixing the roof lining. Since such an assembling method is a task of carrying each part one by one into a vehicle and assembling the same, the time required for the assembling becomes long, and a great deal of labor is required for the operator. .

[0003] For this reason, there has been proposed an assembling method in which a sun visor for an automobile is attached to a roof lining outside the vehicle, and then the roof lining is carried into the vehicle and assembled to a body frame. Such an assembling method is disclosed in, for example, JP-A-11-78521. The assembling method described in the above-mentioned publication is to attach a mounting bracket or a support hook of a sun visor arranged on the front side of the roof lining to a mounting plate or a clip arranged on the back side of the roof lining with a screw or the like. After attaching to the roof lining, the attachment plate or clip is assembled to the body frame.

[0004]

However, in the case of the assembling method described in the above publication, the attachment of the mounting bracket or support hook of the sun visor to the roof lining requires a separate component such as a mounting plate or a clip. . In addition, since the components arranged on both the front and back surfaces are connected to each other by screws or the like, there is a problem that the assembly is troublesome.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for mounting a roof lining on a body frame of a vehicle via a sun visor for a vehicle. An object of the present invention is to provide a sun visor for an automobile and an assembling method thereof, which can be easily assembled.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, a sun visor for an automobile according to the present invention has a configuration as described in each of the claims. Therefore, according to the first aspect of the present invention, if the mounting bracket of the sun visor for an automobile is inserted into the mounting hole of the roof lining, the first locking means provided on the mounting bracket is locked to the roof lining. The vehicle sun visor is then attached to the roof lining. Then, when the mounting bracket of the sun visor for a vehicle is inserted into the mounting hole of the body frame, the second locking means is locked to the body frame, and the sun visor and the roof lining for the vehicle are mounted on the body frame. As described above, according to the present invention, the first locking means that can be locked to the roof lining and the second locking means that can be locked to the body frame are attached to the mounting bracket of the sun visor for an automobile. By providing the kind of locking means integrally, it is possible to assemble the roof lining and the sun visor for an automobile to the body frame by performing an operation of sequentially inserting the mounting bracket into the roof lining and the body frame. Assembly work can be performed easily and quickly, and the number of parts can be reduced.

In this case, as described in claim 2, the first locking means can be inserted into the mounting hole of the roof lining by elastic bending, and after the insertion, is locked to the edge of the hole and comes off. It is preferable that the locking piece is stopped,
It is preferable that the second locking means is an engaging element which is locked to the edge of the hole when inserted into the mounting hole of the body frame and is prevented from falling off.

According to the present invention, at least three locking pieces are provided at substantially equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the mounting bracket, and at least two of the locking pieces are provided. By setting the vertical wall which abuts on the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole in the locking piece, when the mounting bracket is inserted into the mounting hole of the ruling, the mounting bracket can be centered with respect to the mounting hole.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, since the locking piece radially protruding from the outer periphery of the mounting bracket has a radial bending function, the mounting bracket has a mounting hole for the roof lining. Can be displaced in the radial direction. Therefore, as a subsequent assembling step, it is possible to correspond to the positioning of the mounting bracket with respect to the mounting hole when the mounting bracket is inserted into the mounting hole of the body frame.

Further, in the invention according to claim 6,
External force was impressively applied to the mounting bracket by forming the mounting bracket from a base and a cylindrical boss, and providing a slit in the base to set a stress concentration portion at the base of the boss. At this time, the mounting bracket can be broken from the stress concentration portion to reduce impact energy.

According to the present invention, at least three engaging members are projected upward from the mounting bracket and are arranged at substantially equal intervals in the circumferential direction. The vehicle sun visor can be securely and stably assembled to the body frame.

With such a configuration, it is possible to improve hole search and guideability when the body frame is inserted into the mounting hole.

According to the tenth aspect of the present invention,
By operating the projection between the pair of engaging pieces in the approaching direction, the engaging pieces can be expanded outward, so that the function of preventing the mounting bracket from being detached from the body frame can be enhanced. Still further, as described in claim 11, the pair of engaging pieces are expanded by an elastic return force after being inserted into the mounting hole, and the expanded state is inserted between the engaging pieces. It is desirable to adopt a configuration that is held by a child,
In this case, as in the case of the tenth aspect, the function of preventing the mounting bracket from being detached from the body frame can be further enhanced.

According to the twelfth aspect of the present invention,
The projection is always held at the initial position by the concave and convex engagement set between the mounting bracket and the approach position by the concave and convex engagement set between the mounting bracket during the approach operation. Thus, the protrusion and the mounting bracket can be handled as a unitized component. For this reason, before assembling, parts management is easy, and in assembling, it is not necessary to align the protrusion with the mounting bracket, and operability is improved. In addition, in the assembled state, it is possible to secure the function of expanding the engaging element by the projection and maintaining the expanded state.

[0015] Further, according to the invention of claim 13,

Preceded the escape operation of the protruded stick from the mounting bracket. Similarly, when the mounting bracket is pressurized and the engaging piece is inserted into the mounting hole of the body frame, the elastic bending of the engaging piece precedes the operation of the projection to escape from the mounting bracket. For this reason, it becomes possible to attach the mounting bracket to the roof lining and the body frame without changing the relative position of the cover member to the mounting bracket by performing the operation of pushing the cover member. That is, it is not necessary to operate the mounting bracket for mounting on the roof lining and the body frame, and the mounting operation can be performed with one touch by pressing the cover member.

Further, according to the assembling method according to the fifteenth aspect, if the mounting bracket of the sun visor for an automobile is inserted into the mounting hole of the roof lining, the first locking means is engaged with the roof lining. The vehicle visor is stopped and the automotive sun visor is attached to the roof lining. Next, after the roof lining is carried into the vehicle, the mounting bracket of the sun visor for an automobile is inserted into the mounting hole of the body frame, and the second locking means is locked to the body frame, so that the sun visor and the roof lining for the automobile are mounted. Attached to the body frame.

That is, according to the present invention, after the sun visor for an automobile is mounted on the roof lining outside the vehicle, the roof lining can be carried into the vehicle and mounted on the body frame. Is greatly reduced. In that case,
Installation of the sun visor for a vehicle to the roof lining and the body frame can be performed only by performing a very simple operation of determining the insertion position with respect to the mounting hole and inserting the sun visor into the hole. In particular, since the installation of the sun visor for the vehicle on the roof lining can be performed without the troublesome work of connecting two parts by screws or the like as before, the total work time can be greatly reduced, and the work The labor of the member can be reduced.

Therefore, at the time of mounting, even if there is variation in the positions of the mounting hole 41 of the roof lining 40 and the mounting hole 51 of the front header panel 50, the variation is caused by the displacement of the bracket body 20 in the plane direction, that is, the locking piece 23. Can be absorbed by the relative displacement between and the engagement element 24. Further, by providing three locking pieces 23 and three engaging elements 24 at intervals of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction with respect to the bracket body 20, the mounting holes 41 of the roof lining 40 and the mounting holes 51 of the front header panel 50 are provided. And a stable locking state can be obtained with a minimum number.

Further, while the bracket body 20 is composed of the base 21 and the boss 22, a plurality of slits 21 b are provided in the base 21 at appropriate intervals in the circumferential direction, so that the base 21 and the boss 22 are separated from each other. Since the stress concentration portion is set at the connection portion, when an external force acts on the arm 10 of the mounting bracket 2 due to the secondary collision of the occupant due to the collision, the impact due to the collision is reduced by breaking the arm 10 from the stress concentration portion. , Can protect the occupants. The bracket cover 30 that covers the surface of the bracket body 20 constitutes a design surface, and the bracket body 2
There is also a function to protect the occupant from a sharp edge of 0.

Easy.

The force required for the locking projection 26a to escape from the first locking recess 31a of the projection 31 is applied to the locking piece 23.
And the bending force of the engagement piece 25 is set to be larger than each other, so that when the bracket cover 30 is pressed, the roof lining 40 is maintained while the relative position of the bracket cover 30 to the bracket body 20 is maintained. The insertion of the engagement piece 23 into the attachment hole 41 and the insertion of the engagement piece 25 into the engagement hole 51b of the front header panel 50 are enabled. For this reason, the operator can perform the mounting operation with one touch only by pressing the bracket cover 30 in the insertion direction without changing the hand.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be appropriately changed without departing from the scope of the invention. In the present embodiment, the engaging piece 24 is inserted into the mounting hole 51, and then the projection 31 is advanced into the fitting hole 25 so that the engaging piece 25 is expanded outward and locked. 25 has the same configuration as the locking piece 23 for the roof lining 40, that is, when inserted into the mounting hole 51, once contracted by elastic bending and then expanded outward and locked by elastic return. Further, the configuration may be changed to a configuration in which the projection 31 is inserted between the expanded engagement pieces 25 to maintain the expanded state. In the embodiment, the guide 26
Is provided with a locking projection 26a and the projection 31 is provided with first and second locking recesses 31a and 31b, but this relationship is established even if the setting relationship is reversed.
