  • Patent number: 6158802
    Abstract: A switch mounting bracket 8 including a bottom plate 9, a pair of legs 10 and a pair of flanges 11 on tip ends of the legs is accommodated in a space 7 defined between a lower surface of a roof panel 3 and an upper surface of a roof lining 1 by adhering the pair of flanges to the upper surface of the roof lining 1 at 15. A switch 2 inserted into the switch mounting bracket 8 through an opening 1.sub.1 in the roof lining 1 is fixed by bringing locking claws 18.sub.1 provided in a flange 18 of the switch 2 into engagement into locking bores 11.sub.1 defined in the flanges 11. With the above structure, when a shock is applied to the switch 2 mounted on a roof of a vehicle, damage to the switch can be suppressed to a minimum because the switch does not contact the roof panel, and the alignment of the opening 1.sub.1 in the roof lining and the switch mounting bracket 8 can be easily performed because the components are directly joined together.
