【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、車両、特に車室天井高の高いワゴン車や観光バス等の天井部分に設けられたサンルーフのような天井構造物、あるいはエアコンのような空調設備を利用してテレビやナビゲータなどのモニター機器を取り付けることができる車載機器用天井取付装置に関する。
【発明の属する技術分野】
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
最近、車室天井高の高いワゴン車や観光バス(勿論、通常の乗用車でもよい)には特開２００２−２４０６４２号に示すように車室天井にモニター機器を吊設することが行われている。この種のモニター機器は、液晶モニターを用いた薄型のモニター機器を車室天井に取り付けられている取付装置に起倒自在に組付けられている。取付装置の車室天井への取り付けは次のようにして行われる。車両の車室天井面内装材の上から或いは車室天井面内装材を剥離してからルーフパネルの裏面(室外上面)に設けられている一対のクロスリブを探し出し、クロスリブに合わせてルーフパネルに通孔を穿設し、この通孔を利用して取付装置を車室天井に固定し、然る後、取付装置にモニター機器を固定するようにしている。
【０００３】
このように内装材の上からあるいは内装材を剥離して前記取付装置を車室天井面に装着する方法は、内装材を痛めるだけでなくクロスリブに合わせてルーフパネルに通孔を形成しなければならず(換言すれば、車両に傷をつけねばならず)、専門家でなければ取り付け作業ができず、しかもこのような作業は高価な車両を傷つけるため車両の持ち主に嫌がられることが多く普及の妨げともなっていた。
【０００４】
また、車室天井高の高いワゴン車の場合、車室天井面の中央部分やその他最も好ましい位置にサンルーフやエアコンなどが取り付けられているケースも多く、このようなケースではこれまでの取付装置では後部座席の人がモニタを見やすいというような適度な場所に取付装置を取り付けるスペースがなく、車室天井面へのモニター機器の取り付けが事実上不可能であった。

【００１１】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を好適な実施例を用いて説明する。図１の車載機器用天井取付装置(A)は、一対の第１、第２取付プレート(1)(2)及び必要に応じて用いられる化粧部材(6)とで構成されている。第１、第２取付プレート(1)(2)は装着される車載機器(M)[テレビやナビゲータのようなモニター機器]の重量に十分耐えることができる程度の機械的強度(例えば、十分な板厚と取り付け幅)を有する部材(金属部材通常はスティール或いは樹脂部材)を取り付け部分の形状に合わせて成形したものである。
【００１２】
図の実施例では取り付け部分が車両の車室天井面(10)に設置された空調設備(15)［勿論、これに限られないことは言うまでもない］であり、前記第１、第２取付プレート(1)(2)は空調設備(15)の下面から側面にかけて抱設するように設けられるので、空調設備(15)のエアー吹き出し口(16)を塞がないような形状に形成される。勿論、設置場所は空調設備(15)に限られるものでなく、たとえばサンルーフのような場合、前後一対のサンルーフ間の設置場所の形状に合わせてその機能が達成されるように第１、第２取付プレート(1)(2)が形成されることはいうまでもない。勿論、第1・２プレート(1)(2)と締付機構(5)及びその爪部(3)(4)など基本構造は同一である。本実施例では空調設備(15)に取り付ける場合をその代表例として説明する。
【００１３】
第１取付プレート(1)は、空調設備(15)の下面からエアー吹き出し口(16)にかけて設置されるもので、略三角形のプレート本体(1H)と、該プレート本体(1H)の頂部から延設された帯状部分(1b)とで構成されており、帯状部分(1b)の先端部分が内側に折り返されて爪部(3)となっている。また、帯状部分(1b)の幅は空調設備(15)に設けられたエアー吹き出し口(16)間の間隙部分に丁度嵌り込むように細幅に形成されている。略三角形のプレート本体(1H)の底辺側端部(即ち、第２プレート(2)に対する対向部位(1a))は直角に折り曲げられており、通孔(9)が少なくとも２以上穿設されており、締付機構(5)の一部を形成するネジ(8)が回動可能に挿入されている。
【００１４】
第２取付プレート(2)は、空調設備(15)の下面から裏面にかけて設置されるもので、略矩形で空調設備(15)の下面から裏面にかけての形状に合わせて湾曲したもので、湾曲部分の先端部分(即ち、外端部分)が内側に折り返されて爪部(4)となっている。そして、第２取付プレート(2)の反対側端部(即ち、第１プレート(1)に対する対向部位(2a))には断面略Ｕ字状の取付部材(11)が反対側端部である対向部位(2a)に沿って取り付けられており、第１プレート(1)に対する取付部材(11)の対向側面に前記通孔(9)に一致して締め付け用の前記ナット孔(7)が螺設されている。また、前記取付部材(11)の下面には後述するモニター機器取付金具(20)の取付孔(21)に合わせた取り付け用のナット孔(19)が形成されている。また、第２取付プレート(2)の中央平面部分には、空調設備(15)の操作パネル(15a)が露出する露出窓(30)が形成されている。
【００１５】
化粧部材(6)は車室の雰囲気や内装に合わせて形状や色感或いは表面の風合いが設定されるもので、車載機器用天井取付装置(A)を設置した場合にできる限り違和感がないような工夫が施されており、第１、第２取付プレート(1)(2)を下から被覆して車室の美観を向上させ、これにより商品価値を高めるために使用されるものである。従って、モニター機器(M)を取り付けるという機能においては必須のものでなく、必要に応じて用いられるものである。
【００１６】
化粧部材(6)は基本的には、第１、第２取付プレート(1)(2)の形状に合わせて成形されており、その外表面は前述のように車室の雰囲気や内装に合わせて形状や色感或いは表面の風合いが設定される。また、前記第２プレート(2)の露出窓(30)に合わせて角窓(32)が形成されており、角窓(32)を構成するリブ(33)が露出窓(30)内に入り込み、空調設備(15)の操作パネル(15a)に接し、第２取付プレート(2)が外部に露出しないようにしている。また、取付部材(11)の取り付け用のナット孔(19)に合わせて通孔(34)が化粧部材(6)に穿設されている。
【００１７】
次に、本装置(A)の取り付け方について説明する。ネジ(8)が緩んだ（或いは外れた）状態の第１、第２取付プレート(1)(2)の爪部(3)(4)を空調設備(15)と車室天井面(10)との間の隙間(本実施例ではこの部分が被係合部(12)(13)となる)に挿入し、空調設備(15)の下面から両側面にかけて前記第１、第２取付プレート(1)(2)を十分に沿わせた後、ネジ(8)を締め込んで行く。ネジ(8)の締め込みと共に第１、第２取付プレート(1)(2)が引き寄せられ、これに合わせて第１、第２取付プレート(1)(2)の爪部(3)(4)を空調設備(15)と車室天井面(10)との間の被係合部(12)(13)である隙間に差しこまれ、最終的に空調設備(15)の両側面を締め付け固定するようになる。
【００１８】
この状態で下側から化粧部材(6)をあてがい、取り付けビス(図示せず)を取付部材(11)の取り付け用のナット孔(図示せず)に螺着することにより化粧部材(6)を空調設備(15)の下面から側面にかけて取り付け、第１、第２取付プレート(1)(2)の全体を覆う。このとき、第１、第２取付プレート(1)(2)と化粧部材(6)との間の隙間を埋め、第１、第２取付プレート(1)(2)に対する化粧部材(6)の取り付けガタをなくするため、第１、第２取付プレート(1)(2)の下面或いは化粧部材(6)の上面にスポンジ材(35)を取り付けておき、化粧部材(6)を取り付けたとき、前記スポンジ材(35)が軽く圧縮されるようにしておくことが好ましい。
【００１９】
このように空調設備(15)の下面から側面にかけて本装置(A)を設置した後、取付部材(11)に穿設されているモニター機器取り付け用のナット孔(19)を利用してモニター機器取付金具(20)を化粧部材(6)の下側に取り付け、更に前記モニター機器取付金具(20)を利用してテレビやナビゲータのような車載機器(M)を本装置(A)に取り付ける。モニター機器取付金具(20)は車載機器(M)を装着することができるものであればどのようなものであっても差し支えない。
【００２０】
なお、モニター機器取付金具(20)の一例を簡単に示すと以下の通りである。Ｌ形の一対のブラケット(61)(61)は、前記化粧部材(6)の下面に固定ねじ(68)(68)によりそれぞれ固定されており、これらブラケット(61)(61)にシャフト(63)が支持されている。
【００２１】
吊持基体(64)は、例えば縦長矩形状の金属板を折り曲げたものからなり、シャフト(63)を略Ｃ字形に抱き持ちしてから折り返されており、その抱き持ち部(64b)がシャフト(63)に回動可能に枢支されている。吊持基体(64)の締め付け保持は、前記吊持基体(64)の折り返し部(64a)とその対向部位(64c)の略中央部に螺着されている締め付け用ボルト(70)によって行われており、締め付け用ボルト(70)を螺動操作して折り返し部(64a)とその対向部位(64c)とを締め付けることにより、吊持基体(64)がシャフト(63)に固定される。そして逆にこの締め付け力を緩めれば(或いは適当な締め付け力で締め付ければ)、吊持基体(64)の回動変位位置を変更することができる。
【００２２】
Ｌ形ステー(66)の基端片部(66a)には、吊持基体(64)の先端部(64e)に形成されているねじ挿通孔(72)に対応する挿通孔(73)が形成されている。Ｌ形ステー(66)の基端片部(66a)を吊持基体(64)の先端部(64e)に重ねた状態で、上記ねじ挿通孔(72)(73)に挿通した固定ねじ(74)とナット(75)とにより締め付けることにより、Ｌ形ステー(66)の基端部(66a)が吊持基体(64)の先端部(64e)に固定される。勿論、両者(64)(66)を一体化した構成も可能である。
【００２３】
モニター機器(M)には、その背面に横断面形状がＴ字形の係合溝部(N)が上下方向へ沿って形成されており、この係合溝部(N)には、横断面形状がＴ字形のスライドブロック(81)が嵌入されている。スライドブロック(81)には、複数のねじ孔(83)が形成されている。このねじ孔(83)は、Ｌ形ステー(66)の先端片部(66b)の孔(67)の位置に対応するように、上下方向で複数箇所に配されている。上記孔(67)に挿通したねじ(82)(82)をそれぞれ対応するねじ孔(83)(83)にねじ込めば、スライドブロック(81)とＬ形ステー(66)の先端片部(66b)とが相対的に近づいてモニター機器(M)の背面壁(Ma)を挟着するようになっている。このようにしてモニター機器(M)はモニター機器取付金具(20)に装着される。
【００２４】
このようにしてモニター機器取付金具(20)に装着されたモニター機器(M)を座席に座っている人が見たい場合には、モニター機器(M)を手で持って引くとシャフト(63)の回りを吊持基体(64)の抱き持ち部(64b)が回動し、図１のようにモニター機器(M)の画面が例えば後部座席を向くようになる。モニター機器(M)の使用が終了し、モニター機器(M)を手で押し上げると、シャフト(63)の回りを吊持基体(64)の抱き持ち部(64b)が逆回動し、モニター機器(M)を水平に保持するようになる。
【００２５】
【発明の効果】
本発明は一対の第１、第２取付プレートの爪部を車室天井面或いは天井部分に設置された設備又は車室天井面と前記設備との間に存在する被係合部に係合(或いは挿入)させ、締付機構を操作して締め付けていくだけで車載機器用天井取付装置を素人でも車に傷付けることなく簡単且つ確実に車両の車室天井部分に取り付けることができる。また、化粧部材を用いることで車室の美観を大幅に高めることができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a ceiling structure such as a sunroof provided in a ceiling portion of a vehicle, in particular, a wagon car having a high ceiling in a passenger compartment or a sightseeing bus, or an air conditioner such as an air conditioner. The present invention relates to an on-vehicle equipment ceiling mounting device to which a monitor device can be attached.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002]
[Prior art]
Recently, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-240642, a monitor device is hung from the ceiling of a passenger compartment for a wagon car with a high ceiling height or a sightseeing bus (of course, a normal passenger car may be used). . In this type of monitor device, a thin monitor device using a liquid crystal monitor is assembled to an attachment device attached to the ceiling of the passenger compartment so that the monitor device can be tilted up and down. The attachment device is attached to the ceiling of the passenger compartment as follows. A pair of cross ribs provided on the back surface (outdoor upper surface) of the roof panel is searched after the vehicle interior ceiling surface interior material is peeled off or separated from the vehicle interior ceiling surface interior material. A hole is drilled, and the attachment device is fixed to the vehicle compartment ceiling using this through hole, and then the monitor device is fixed to the attachment device.
[0003]
In this way, the method of attaching the mounting device to the vehicle interior ceiling surface from the interior material or by peeling the interior material not only hurts the interior material, but also has to form a through hole in the roof panel according to the cross rib. (In other words, the vehicle must be damaged), and if it is not an expert, installation work can not be done, and such work is often disliked by the owner of the vehicle because it damages expensive vehicles It was also an obstacle to popularization.
[0004]
In addition, in the case of a wagon car with a high cabin ceiling height, there are many cases in which a sunroof or an air conditioner is attached to the center part of the cabin ceiling surface or other most preferable position. There was no space for mounting the mounting device at an appropriate place where the person in the back seat could easily see the monitor, and it was virtually impossible to mount the monitoring device on the ceiling of the passenger compartment.
