Abstract
An interior equipment mounting structure for a vehicle incorporating a head-protecting air bag body, a roof head lining, which is deformed at the time of expansion of the air bag body, includes a sun visor and an arm. The sun visor is connected to a vehicle body and is movable from an accommodated state to at least one predetermined position for use. The sun visor is connected to the vehicle body by the arm. The sun visor is formed by a main body portion and by an overhang portion. When a load of a predetermined value or more acts on the overhang portion by the expansion of the air bag body, the overhang portion is easily deformable with respect to the main body portion.
