Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an automobile interior material for the rear side of the vehicle compartment.

[Prior Art] In a vehicle interior of a vehicle such as a so-called two-door vehicle or a three-door vehicle that does not have a side door on the rear side, a quarter trim is disposed on a side wall below a quarter window. Further, around the quarter window, garnishes are provided at the center pillar, quarter pillar, and roof side rail. These interior materials, such as the quarter trim and garnish, hide the metal surfaces of the body panels and the openings formed in the body panels, thereby improving the appearance of the interior of the vehicle.

In the interior material shown in FIG. 6, the garnish arranged around the quarter window 10 is divided into three parts: a center pillar garnish 12, a quarter pillar garnish 14, and a roof side rail garnish 16. has been done. The roof side rail garnish 16 is overlapped with the center pillar garnish 12 and the quarter pillar garnish 14 so that both longitudinal ends thereof are hidden by the upper ends of each of the center pillar garnish 12 and the quarter pillar garnish 14. . Also, center pillar garnish 12
The lower ends of each of the quarter pillar garnishes 14 are overlapped with the quarter trim 18 so as to be hidden by the upper end of the quarter trim 18. In the figure, reference numeral 20 is a rear roof header trim.

However, in the interior material shown in FIG. 6 above,
Since the garnish is divided into three parts, there are many parts that overlap with adjacent parts, which has the disadvantage of impairing the appearance.

Furthermore, in the interior material shown in FIG. 7, a roof side inner garnish 22 having a substantially U-shape in which the center pillar garnish 12, the quarter pillar garnish 14, and the roof side rail garnish 16 are integrated. It is said that

In the interior material shown in FIG. 7, since the roof side inner garnish 22 is integrally shaped, the number of parts is reduced, and the joints between the garnishes are also reduced, improving appearance.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, this roof side inner garnish 22 has the drawbacks of being inconvenient to handle and having poor assembly workability due to its low rigidity.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, the lower part of the quarter trim 18 is fixed to the vehicle body via a clip 24, and the upper part is hooked to a bracket 26 fixed to the vehicle body, so that the quarter trim 18 can be attached to the vehicle body. ing.

However, this mounting structure for the quarter trim 18 involves the interposition of the bracket 26, which is a separate component, and has the drawbacks of increased cost and easy assembly accuracy errors.

Incidentally, as a mounting structure for the quarter trim, Japanese Utility Model Application No. 58-92153 has been proposed.

Taking the above facts into consideration, the present invention improves the rigidity of the integrated garnish that covers the roof side rail, center pillar, and quarter pillar, and also allows the upper end of the quarter trim to be hung without intervening a separate bracket. The purpose is to obtain an interior material for automobiles that can be stopped.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In the automobile interior material according to the present invention, a garnish that covers a roof side rail portion, a center pillar portion, and a quarter pillar portion in a vehicle interior is integrally formed in a frame shape so as to surround a quarter window portion. The garnish is characterized in that a quarter trim hooking rib is integrally formed on the lower end of the garnish and is arranged to overlap so as to hide the lower end of the garnish.

[Function] In the automobile interior material according to the present invention, the quarter trim retaining rib is integrally molded on the lower end of the garnish, so the upper end of the quarter trim can be retained without intervening a separate bracket. be. Moreover, since the quarter trim retaining rib is integrally molded at the lower end of the garnish, the quarter trim retaining rib also functions as a reinforcing rib, thereby further improving the rigidity of the garnish. Therefore, the garnish is easy to handle and the assembly work efficiency is greatly improved. Furthermore, unlike a separately set bracket, installation errors do not occur, and assembly accuracy is improved.
