Abstract
A mounting structure of a roof duct in an air conditioner which comprises a top surface of the roof duct having an air diffuser and formed with a grooved recess along the longitudinal direction of the roof duct, a trough-shaped reinforcement mounted at both ends thereof on an automotive body engaged with the grooved recess, a swelled part partly swelled on the bottom of the reinforcement and formed on the bottom in reverse direction to the grooved recess, and a wire harness connected to a control switch and inserted into the space formed between the bottom of the grooved recess and the swelled part of the reinforcement. Thus, this mounting structure can obtain a passage of a wire harness out of the roof duct, thereby reducing the resistance of ventilation of air through the roof duct. Further, this mounting structure can use a reinforcement as a fixture of a wire harness and a protector, thereby reducing the abnormal noise from the roof duct, can reduce the number and weight of components to be mounted in the roof duct and can facilitate the mounting of the roof duct on the roof.
