## Abstract

When a pillar bracket is formed, as a protruding portion is integrally formed outward from an edge of a headliner, and a weather strip is fitted onto the protruding portion, the weather strip may maintain a predetermined shape to prevent a gap from being generated between the headliner and the weather strip. In this case, as the protruding portion is formed to always remain in close contact with a vehicle body panel, since the protruding portion fixedly supports the weather strip in close contact with the vehicle body panel and is not pushed any further, the weather strip may not be pushed or bent any further and may always maintain a predetermined shape. In addition, as a protruding rib integrally protrudes from the protruding portion, the protruding portion may fixedly support the weather strip more firmly in close contact with the vehicle body panel and thus more firmly and fixedly support the weather strip.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A vehicle A pillar bracket comprising a pillar body (100) which is mounted on a corner portion of a front side of a headliner (H) and supports an A pillar,
wherein the pillar body (100) has a protruding portion (110) formed to protrude outward from an edge of the headliner (H) in a cramp iron shape,
the protruding portion (110) is installed so that an outer surface thereof is in contact with a vehicle body (F), and
a door weather strip (W) is forcibly fitted onto an end portion of the protruding portion (110) so that the door weather strip (W) surrounds an edge portion of the headliner (H).

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The vehicle A pillar bracket of claim 1, wherein the protruding portion (110) is formed so that a width cross section is formed in a “” shape or mountain shape of which a central portion protrudes upward.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1, 2)

The vehicle A pillar bracket of claim 1 or 2, wherein a protruding rib (111) is formed on a surface of the protruding portion (110) in contact with the vehicle body.
