Is aligned with the width 13W of the adjustment slot 13A of the mounting seat 10.

続いて、連結バンド５２の係合板５２Ｃを調整スロット１３Ａに通し、基板５２Ａを取付座１０の右側壁１３に当接させた後、内装側雄型係合部材３０／車体側雌型係合部材５０を、図６に示すように、前方に傾け戻す。すると、内装側雄型係合部材３０／車体側雌型係合部材５０に対して右方向の力が加わっても、連結バンド５２の係合板５２Ｃが取付座１０の右側壁１３(の内面)に引っかかり、取付座１０からの連結バンド５２の抜けを阻止することができる。   Subsequently, after the engagement plate 52C of the connection band 52 is passed through the adjustment slot 13A and the substrate 52A is brought into contact with the right side wall 13 of the mounting seat 10, the interior side male engagement member 30 / the vehicle body side female engagement member 50 is tilted back as shown in FIG. Then, even when a rightward force is applied to the interior-side male engagement member 30 / vehicle-body-side female engagement member 50, the engagement plate 52C of the connection band 52 remains on the right side wall 13 (the inner surface of the mounting seat 10). It is possible to prevent the connecting band 52 from coming off from the mounting seat 10.

次に、内装側雄型係合部材３０を取付座１０に取り付ける。この取付は、先ず、内装側雄型係合部材３０の案内円柱部３４を取付座１０の頂壁１４の案内スロット１４Ｃに通すように、相対的に内装側雄型係合部材３０を取付座１０に対して移動させる。内装側雄型係合部材３０を取付座１０に対して更に移動させると、案内円柱部３４が保持スロット１４Ｄに保持され、図７に示すように、内装側雄型係合部材３０が取付座１０に取り付けられる。尚、案内円柱部３４の移動中、案内スロット１４Ｃは外方に若干広げられることになる。   Next, the interior-side male engagement member 30 is attached to the attachment seat 10. In this attachment, first, the interior-side male engagement member 30 is relatively attached so that the guide column portion 34 of the interior-side male engagement member 30 passes through the guide slot 14C of the top wall 14 of the attachment seat 10. Move with respect to 10. When the interior-side male engagement member 30 is further moved with respect to the mounting seat 10, the guide column portion 34 is held in the holding slot 14D, and the interior-side male engagement member 30 is attached to the mounting seat as shown in FIG. 10 is attached. During the movement of the guide column portion 34, the guide slot 14C is slightly expanded outward.

内装側雄型係合部材３０の底壁３１と頂壁３２との間隔は取付座１０の頂壁１４の厚さに実質的に相当するので、内装側雄型係合部材３０と取付座１０との間の上下方向のガタつきを阻止することができ、また、内装側雄型係合部材３０の頂壁３２の幅３２Ｗは取付座１０の延設部１５、１６の案内保持面１８、１８間の間隔ＣＬに実質的に相当するので、内装側雄型係合部材３０と取付座１０との間の前後方向のガタつきも阻止することができ、案内円柱部３４が保持スロット１４Ｄに保持されるので、内装側雄型係合部材３０と取付座１０との間の前後左右方向のガタつきもまた阻止することができる。   Since the distance between the bottom wall 31 and the top wall 32 of the interior-side male engagement member 30 substantially corresponds to the thickness of the top wall 14 of the mounting seat 10, the interior-side male engagement member 30 and the mounting seat 10 And the width 32W of the top wall 32 of the interior-side male engagement member 30 is such that the guide holding surface 18 of the extending portions 15 and 16 of the mounting seat 10 Since it substantially corresponds to the distance CL between 18, it is possible to prevent backlash in the front-rear direction between the interior-side male engagement member 30 and the mounting seat 10, and the guide column portion 34 is formed in the holding slot 14 </ b> D. Since it is held, backlash in the front-rear and left-right directions between the interior-side male engagement member 30 and the mounting seat 10 can also be prevented.

最後に、互いに係合された、取付座１０(トリムカバー２)／内装側雄型係合部材３０／車体側雌型係合部材５０を車体パネル１に取り付ける。
この取付は、車体側雌型係合部材５０を車体パネル１に形成された貫通取付孔１Ａ(図１)に下方から挿入することによって行われる。貫通取付孔１Ａは、平面視における車体側雌型係合部材５０(弾性係止部５４を除く)の輪郭形状と実質的に相補形状を有する。 Finally, the mounting seat 10 (trim cover 2) / interior side male engagement member 30 / vehicle body side female engagement member 50 engaged with each other are attached to the vehicle body panel 1.
This attachment is performed by inserting the vehicle body side female engagement member 50 into the through attachment hole 1A (FIG. 1) formed in the vehicle body panel 1 from below. The through-mounting hole 1A has a shape that is substantially complementary to the contour shape of the vehicle body side female engagement member 50 (excluding the elastic locking portion 54) in plan view.

車体側雌型係合部材５０を車体パネル１に形成された貫通取付孔１Ａに下方から挿入すると、車体側雌型係合部材５０の弾性係止部５４は貫通取付孔１Ａを構成する車体パネル１の周縁部によって内方に押圧される。車体側雌型係合部材５０を更に上方に移動させ、車体側雌型係合部材５０の弾性係止部５４全体が貫通取付孔１Ａを越えると、弾性係止部５４は、内向き押圧力から解放されて外方に移動して初期状態に復帰する。また、弾性係止部５４全体が貫通取付孔１Ａを越えるのとほぼ同時に、取付座１０の車体パネル当接面１７、１７が車体パネル１の下面に当接する。図１は、このようにして取付座１０の車体パネル当接面１７、１７が車体パネル１の下面に当接された状態を示す。   When the vehicle body side female engagement member 50 is inserted into the through attachment hole 1A formed in the vehicle body panel 1 from below, the elastic locking portion 54 of the vehicle body side female engagement member 50 forms the through attachment hole 1A. 1 is pressed inwardly by the peripheral edge. When the vehicle body side female engagement member 50 is further moved upward and the entire elastic locking portion 54 of the vehicle body side female engagement member 50 exceeds the through-mounting hole 1A, the elastic locking portion 54 is inwardly pressed. Is released and moved outwards to return to the initial state. In addition, the vehicle body panel abutment surfaces 17 and 17 of the attachment seat 10 abut against the lower surface of the vehicle body panel 1 almost simultaneously with the entire elastic locking portion 54 passing through the through attachment hole 1A. FIG. 1 shows a state in which the vehicle body panel contact surfaces 17 and 17 of the mounting seat 10 are in contact with the lower surface of the vehicle body panel 1 in this way.

この弾性係止部５４の初期状態への復帰により、弾性係止部５４は車体パネル１の頂面上で貫通取付孔１Ａよりも外方に位置することになるので、この弾性係止部５４は、車体側雌型係合部材５０が車体パネル１から下方に抜けないように車体パネル１に作用することになる。同様に、内装側雄型係合部材３０の係合突部３５Ａ、３５Ａは内装側雄型係合部材３０が車体側雌型係合部材５０から下方に抜けないように車体側雌型係合部材５０に作用するけれども、弾性係止部５４は、その車体パネル１に作用する抜け防止力が係合突部３５Ａ、３５Ａが車体側雌型係合部材５０に作用する抜け防止力よりも大きくなるように、寸法形状決めされている。   By returning the elastic locking portion 54 to the initial state, the elastic locking portion 54 is positioned on the top surface of the vehicle body panel 1 outside the through attachment hole 1A. Acts on the vehicle body panel 1 so that the vehicle body side female engaging member 50 does not come down from the vehicle body panel 1 downward. Similarly, the engagement protrusions 35 </ b> A and 35 </ b> A of the interior-side male engagement member 30 are configured so that the interior-side male engagement member 30 does not fall downward from the vehicle-side female engagement member 50. Although the elastic locking portion 54 acts on the member 50, the elastic locking portion 54 has a larger slip prevention force that acts on the vehicle body panel 1 than a slip prevention force that the engagement protrusions 35 </ b> A and 35 </ b> A act on the vehicle body side female engagement member 50. The dimension and shape are determined so as to be.

また、車体側雌型係合部材５０が弾性係止部５４を介して車体パネル１に係合されたとき、取付座１０の車体パネル当接面１７、１７が車体パネル１の下面に面当接するように、取付座１０(特に延設部１５、１６の高さ)、内装側雄型係合部材３０(特に頂壁３２の厚さ)、車体側雌型係合部材５０(特にフランジ５５の厚さ)が寸法形状決めされているので、取付座１０が上方に移動にすることによる車体パネル１と取付座１０との間のガタつきを抑制することができる。
更に、車体パネル１と車体側雌型係合部材５０との係合部及び車体側雌型係合部材５０と内装側雄型係合部材３０との係合部の両方が、車体パネル１の頂面側、すなわち、裏面側に配置されるので、車体パネル１とトリムカバー２との間隔を短くすることができ、車体パネル１とトリムカバー２との間隔を小さくせざるを得ない設計においても適用可能となる。 Further, when the vehicle body side female engaging member 50 is engaged with the vehicle body panel 1 via the elastic locking portion 54, the vehicle body panel contact surfaces 17, 17 of the mounting seat 10 are brought into contact with the lower surface of the vehicle body panel 1. The mounting seat 10 (particularly the height of the extended portions 15 and 16), the interior-side male engagement member 30 (particularly the thickness of the top wall 32), and the vehicle body-side female engagement member 50 (particularly the flange 55) Therefore, the backlash between the vehicle body panel 1 and the mounting seat 10 due to the mounting seat 10 moving upward can be suppressed.
Furthermore, both the engagement portion between the vehicle body panel 1 and the vehicle body side female engagement member 50 and the engagement portion between the vehicle body side female engagement member 50 and the interior side male engagement member 30 are provided on the vehicle body panel 1. Since it is arranged on the top surface side, that is, on the back surface side, the distance between the vehicle body panel 1 and the trim cover 2 can be shortened, and the distance between the vehicle body panel 1 and the trim cover 2 must be reduced. Is also applicable.

尚、取付座１０(トリムカバー２)、内装側雄型係合部材３０、車体側雌型係合部材５０の取付順序は上述した仕方に特に限定されるものではなく、例えば、最初に車体側雌型係合部材５０を車体パネル１に取り付け、これに内装側雄型係合部材３０、或いは、互いに係合された、取付座１０(トリムカバー２)／内装側雄型係合部材３０を取り付けても良い。   The mounting order of the mounting seat 10 (trim cover 2), the interior-side male engagement member 30, and the vehicle body-side female engagement member 50 is not particularly limited to the above-described manner. The female engagement member 50 is attached to the vehicle body panel 1, and the interior side male engagement member 30 or the attachment seat 10 (trim cover 2) / interior side male engagement member 30 engaged with each other is attached thereto. It may be attached.

次に、上述した仕方で、図１に示されるように、パネル連結手段を用いて車体パネル１とトリムカバー２とが連結された車両の側面に、例えば、他の車両が衝突した場合におけるような、衝撃が加わり、車体パネル１とトリムカバー２との間に設けられたカーテンエアバッグ(図示せず)が膨張展開された際の動作について説明する。
すなわち、カーテンエアバッグ(図示せず)が車両の適所に設けられたインフレータ(図示せず)によって膨張展開されると、トリムカバー２にはこれを車室内に向けて移動させる(図１、８では下向きの)押圧力が作用する。この結果、トリムカバー２に固定された取付座１０及びこれに取り付けられた内装側雄型係合部材３０にもまた下向きの押圧力が作用し、この下向きの押圧力が、係合突部３５Ａ、３５Ａによる内装側雄型係合部材３０と車体側雌型係合部材５０との係合力に打ち勝つことにより、図８に示すように、内装側雄型係合部材３０が車体側雌型係合部材５０から下方に外れる。他方、上述したように、係合突部３５Ａ、３５Ａによる抜け防止力よりも大きい抜け防止力を有する弾性係止部５４は、カーテンエアバッグ膨張による下向きの押圧力を受けたときでも、この押圧力に打ち勝ち、車体側雌型係合部材５０が車体パネル１から下方に抜け落ちるのを阻止する。換言すると、弾性係止部５４は、カーテンエアバッグが膨張されたときでさえ車体側雌型係合部材５０が車体パネル１から下方に抜け落ちるのを阻止するように、寸法形状決めされている。 Next, in the manner described above, as shown in FIG. 1, for example, when another vehicle collides with the side surface of the vehicle to which the vehicle body panel 1 and the trim cover 2 are connected using the panel connecting means. An operation when an impact is applied and a curtain airbag (not shown) provided between the vehicle body panel 1 and the trim cover 2 is inflated and deployed will be described.
That is, when a curtain airbag (not shown) is inflated and deployed by an inflator (not shown) provided at an appropriate position of the vehicle, the trim cover 2 moves the trim airbag 2 toward the vehicle interior (FIGS. 1 and 8). In this case, a downward pressing force is applied. As a result, a downward pressing force also acts on the mounting seat 10 fixed to the trim cover 2 and the interior-side male engagement member 30 attached thereto, and this downward pressing force causes the engagement protrusion 35A. , 35A overcomes the engagement force between the interior-side male engagement member 30 and the vehicle body-side female engagement member 50, so that the interior-side male engagement member 30 becomes the vehicle body-side female engagement as shown in FIG. The joint member 50 is released downward. On the other hand, as described above, the elastic latching portion 54 having a slip prevention force larger than the slip prevention force by the engagement protrusions 35A, 35A, even when receiving a downward pressing force due to the curtain airbag inflation, It overcomes the pressure and prevents the vehicle body side female engagement member 50 from falling downward from the vehicle body panel 1. In other words, the elastic locking portion 54 is dimensioned and shaped so as to prevent the vehicle body side female engagement member 50 from falling downward from the vehicle body panel 1 even when the curtain airbag is inflated.

内装側雄型係合部材３０が車体側雌型係合部材５０から下方に外れ、内装側雄型係合部材３０が車体側雌型係合部材５０に対して下方に移動されると、相対的に、車体側雌型係合部材５０の連結バンド５２の基板５２Ａ、円柱軸部５２Ｂ、係合板５２Ｃが、取付座１０の調整スロット１３Ａを上方に摺動し、ついには、図８に示すように、円柱軸部５２Ｂが調整スロット１３Ａの上端と衝合するが、基板５２Ａ、係合板５２Ｃは調整スロット１３Ａの幅１３Ｗよりも大きいので連結バンド５２が調整スロット１３Ａから外れることはない、すなわち、トリムカバー２が車体パネル１から外れることはない。   When the interior-side male engagement member 30 is detached downward from the vehicle body-side female engagement member 50 and the interior-side male engagement member 30 is moved downward with respect to the vehicle body-side female engagement member 50, the relative Specifically, the base plate 52A, the cylindrical shaft portion 52B, and the engagement plate 52C of the coupling band 52 of the vehicle body side female engagement member 50 slide upward in the adjustment slot 13A of the mounting seat 10, and finally, as shown in FIG. As described above, the cylindrical shaft portion 52B abuts the upper end of the adjustment slot 13A. However, since the substrate 52A and the engagement plate 52C are larger than the width 13W of the adjustment slot 13A, the connecting band 52 does not come off from the adjustment slot 13A. The trim cover 2 does not come off the vehicle body panel 1.

従って、トリムカバー２を車体パネル１から離れるように移動させることによって両者の間に、カーテンエアバッグが膨張展開し、車内に広がるための隙間を提供することを可能にしながら、車体パネル１から離れる方向に移動するトリムカバー２の移動量を規制することによって乗員の安全を確保することができる。また、調整スロット１３Ａの上下方向長さを変えることによって、トリムカバー２の移動量の規制を容易に制御することができ、また、車種毎に車体パネル１とトリムカバー２との間の距離が異なる場合や、同一車種でも部位毎に車体パネル１とトリムカバー２との間の距離が異なる場合にも、同一寸法の連結バンド５２を備えた車体側雌型係合部材５０を用いることができ、部品共用化によるコストダウンを図ることができる。   Therefore, by moving the trim cover 2 away from the vehicle body panel 1, the curtain airbag is inflated and deployed between the two, and it is possible to provide a gap for spreading in the vehicle, while leaving the vehicle body panel 1. The passenger's safety can be ensured by restricting the amount of movement of the trim cover 2 that moves in the direction. In addition, the regulation of the movement amount of the trim cover 2 can be easily controlled by changing the vertical length of the adjustment slot 13A, and the distance between the vehicle body panel 1 and the trim cover 2 is different for each vehicle type. The vehicle body side female engagement member 50 provided with the connection band 52 of the same dimension can be used even when the distance is different between the vehicle body panel 1 and the trim cover 2 for each part even in the same vehicle type. Cost reduction can be achieved by sharing parts.

また、膨張展開するカーテンエアバッグによってトリムカバー２が付勢される方向は必ずしも一定ではないけれども、トリムカバー２が付勢移動される際、取付座１０は円柱軸部５２Ｂを中心に回転されるので、移動されるトリムカバー２の方向如何によって連結バンド５２が捩じられるのを、ひいては、連結バンド５２が破損する恐れを低減させることができる。   Further, the direction in which the trim cover 2 is urged by the curtain airbag that is inflated and deployed is not necessarily constant, but when the trim cover 2 is urged and moved, the mounting seat 10 is rotated around the cylindrical shaft portion 52B. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the connecting band 52 is damaged by twisting the connecting band 52 depending on the direction of the trim cover 2 to be moved.

図９は、パネル連結手段の変形実施形態を示す。
この変形実施形態では、図１乃至図８に示した構成要素と同一の構成要素については同一の参照番号を付すと共に、その構成、作用については説明を省略する。 FIG. 9 shows a modified embodiment of the panel connecting means.
In this modified embodiment, the same components as those shown in FIGS. 1 to 8 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description of the configuration and operation thereof is omitted.

この変形実施例では、上述した内装側雄型係合部材３０、車体側雌型係合部材５０が一体部品として構成され、一端がスリーブ５１のフランジ５５に接続された連結バンド５２の他端は内装側雄型係合部材３０頂壁３２の右端面に接続されている。従って、この変形実施例では、取付座１０に調整スロット１３Ａは形成されていない。この実施形態の構成では、内装側雄型係合部材３０、車体側雌型係合部材５０を一体部品として構成することにより部品点数を少なくすることができ、また、取付座１０に調整スロット１３Ａを形成しないことにより、取付座１０の製造を容易にすることができる。   In this modified embodiment, the interior-side male engagement member 30 and the vehicle-body-side female engagement member 50 described above are configured as an integral part, and the other end of the connecting band 52 whose one end is connected to the flange 55 of the sleeve 51 is The interior side male engagement member 30 is connected to the right end surface of the top wall 32. Therefore, in this modified embodiment, the adjustment slot 13A is not formed in the mounting seat 10. In the configuration of this embodiment, the number of parts can be reduced by configuring the interior side male engagement member 30 and the vehicle body side female engagement member 50 as integral parts, and the adjustment seat 13A can be provided in the mounting seat 10. By not forming, the mounting seat 10 can be easily manufactured.

カーテンエアバッグが膨張展開すると、内装側雄型係合部材３０(に相当する部分)が車体側雌型係合部材５０ (に相当する部分)から下方に外れ、他方、車体側雌型係合部材５０(に相当する部分)が車体パネル１から外れないのは先に説明した実施形態におけるのと同様である。   When the curtain airbag is inflated and deployed, the interior-side male engagement member 30 (corresponding portion) is detached downward from the vehicle-body-side female engagement member 50 (corresponding portion), while the vehicle-body-side female engagement member The member 50 (part corresponding to the member 50) is not detached from the vehicle body panel 1 as in the above-described embodiment.

図１０乃至図１２は、パネル連結手段の第２変形実施形態を示す。
この変形実施例では、内装側「雄」型係合部材３０が内装側「雌」型係合部材３０'として構成され、また、車体側「雌」型係合部材５０が車体側「雄」型係合部材５０'として構成されている点が、先の実施形態におけるのと異なる。 10 to 12 show a second modified embodiment of the panel connecting means.
In this modified embodiment, the interior side “male” type engagement member 30 is configured as an interior side “female” type engagement member 30 ′, and the vehicle body side “female” type engagement member 50 is configured as the vehicle body side “male”. The point which is comprised as type | mold engagement member 50 'differs from previous embodiment.

内装側雌型係合部材３０'は、ブロック状部材からなり、前端面６１、後端面６２に夫々水平に延びる案内溝６３が形成され、中央部には上下方向に延びる貫通係合穴６４が形成されている。貫通係合穴６４は、下方外方に広がるように形成されている。   The interior-side female engagement member 30 ′ is made of a block-like member, and a guide groove 63 extending horizontally is formed on each of the front end surface 61 and the rear end surface 62, and a through engagement hole 64 extending in the vertical direction is formed in the center portion. Is formed. The through-engagement hole 64 is formed to expand downward and outward.

取付座１０に対応する取付座１０'の頂壁１４には、案内スロット１４Ｃ、保持スロット１４Ｄは形成されず、代わりに、内装側雌型係合部材３０'の案内溝６３と係合する係合レール７１が形成されている。   The guide slot 14C and the holding slot 14D are not formed on the top wall 14 of the mounting seat 10 ′ corresponding to the mounting seat 10, but instead, the engagement is engaged with the guide groove 63 of the interior-side female engagement member 30 ′. A combined rail 71 is formed.

車体側「雄」型係合部材５０'は、第１係合部材８０と、第２係合部材９０とを有する。第１係合部材８０は、互いに鋭角をなすように接合された一対の下向きプレート８１、８２と、プレート８１、８２の接合部からこれらの間を上方に延びる中間プレート８３とを有する。第２係合部材９０は、中間プレート８３の上端部に接続された、前後方向に圧縮弾性可能に形作られた扁平ループ状部材９１と、中間プレート８３と扁平ループ状部材９１との接合部から前後方向に延びる車体パネル下方係合プレート９２、９２とを有する。各車体パネル下方係合プレート９２は、先端部９２Ａが下方に湾曲している。   The vehicle body side “male” type engagement member 50 ′ includes a first engagement member 80 and a second engagement member 90. The first engagement member 80 has a pair of downward plates 81 and 82 joined so as to form an acute angle with each other, and an intermediate plate 83 extending upward from the joint portion of the plates 81 and 82 therebetween. The second engagement member 90 is connected to the upper end portion of the intermediate plate 83, and is formed from a flat loop member 91 that is formed to be compressible and elastic in the front-rear direction, and a joint portion between the intermediate plate 83 and the flat loop member 91. Vehicle body panel lower engagement plates 92, 92 extending in the front-rear direction. Each vehicle body panel lower engagement plate 92 has a distal end portion 92A curved downward.

連結バンド５２に対応する連結バンド５２'は、一方端がブロック状雌型係合部材３０'の左側端面に接合され、他方端が、車体パネル下方係合プレート９２、９２の右側端面に接合されている。   The connection band 52 ′ corresponding to the connection band 52 has one end joined to the left end face of the block-shaped female engagement member 30 ′ and the other end joined to the right end face of the vehicle body panel lower engagement plates 92, 92. ing.

この第２変形実施形態のパネル連結手段を組み立てるには、車体側雄型係合部材５０'の扁平ループ状部材９１を内装側雌型係合部材３０'の貫通係合穴６４に挿入することによって、これに係合させ、次いで、内装側雌型係合部材３０'の案内溝６３を取付座１０の係合レール７１に係合させる。最後に、車体側雄型係合部材５０'の第１係合部８０を車体パネル１の貫通取付孔１Ａに下方から挿入することによって、一対のプレート８１、８２の自由端を車体パネル１の頂面又は裏面に、車体パネル下方係合プレート９２の先端部９２Ａを車体パネル１の下面又は表面に、夫々、当接させる。この状態において、取付座１０の車体パネル当接面１７、１７が車体パネル１の下面に面当接し、これにより、上述した実施形態と同様に、車体パネル１と取付座１０との間のガタつきを抑制することができる。   In order to assemble the panel connecting means of the second modified embodiment, the flat loop member 91 of the vehicle body side male engagement member 50 ′ is inserted into the through engagement hole 64 of the interior side female engagement member 30 ′. Then, the guide groove 63 of the interior-side female engagement member 30 ′ is engaged with the engagement rail 71 of the mounting seat 10. Finally, the first engagement portion 80 of the vehicle body side male engagement member 50 ′ is inserted into the through-mounting hole 1 A of the vehicle body panel 1 from below, so that the free ends of the pair of plates 81 and 82 are connected to the vehicle body panel 1. The front end portion 92A of the vehicle body panel lower engagement plate 92 is brought into contact with the lower surface or the front surface of the vehicle body panel 1 on the top surface or the back surface, respectively. In this state, the vehicle body panel abutment surfaces 17 and 17 of the mounting seat 10 are in surface contact with the lower surface of the vehicle body panel 1, and as a result, the backlash between the vehicle body panel 1 and the mounting seat 10 is similar to the above-described embodiment. Suppression can be suppressed.

カーテンエアバッグが膨張展開すると、内装側雌型係合部材３０'の貫通係合穴６４が車体側雄型係合部材５０'の扁平ループ状部材９１から下方に外れるが、プレート８１、８２と車体パネル１との係合は解かれず、車体側雄型係合部材５０'は車体パネル１から外れない。   When the curtain airbag is inflated and deployed, the through-engagement hole 64 of the interior-side female engagement member 30 ′ is released downward from the flat loop-shaped member 91 of the vehicle body-side male engagement member 50 ′. The engagement with the vehicle body panel 1 is not released, and the vehicle body side male engagement member 50 ′ is not detached from the vehicle body panel 1.

本発明は、上述した実施形態に限定されることなく以下のような種々の変更が可能である。
例えば、上記実施形態の連結バンド５２、連結バンド５２'は、薄い、比較的幅広の形態のものであったけれども、ひも状のものでも良い。
また、上述した実施形態では、調整スロット１３Ａは、上記実施形態では垂直方向にまっすぐ延びていたが、斜めに、或いは、湾曲させながら上下方向に延ばしても良い。
更に、上述した実施形態では、内装側雄型係合部材３０、３０'は、取付座１０と別個の部材として形成されていたけれども、取付座１０と一体に形成されても良い。従ってまた、図９に示した変形実施形態において、一体に形成した内装側雄型係合部材／車体側雄型係合部材を取付座１０と一体に形成しても良い。 The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications as described below are possible.
For example, the connection band 52 and the connection band 52 ′ of the above embodiment are thin and relatively wide, but may be a string.
In the above-described embodiment, the adjustment slot 13A extends straight in the vertical direction in the above-described embodiment. However, the adjustment slot 13A may extend in an up-down direction while being inclined or curved.
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the interior side male engagement members 30 and 30 ′ are formed as separate members from the mounting seat 10, but may be formed integrally with the mounting seat 10.
