Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a vehicle pillar trim mounting structure.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, as a structure for attaching a pillar trim to a center pillar, there is a structure shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

Here, in the structure shown in FIG. 3, both side edges 101 a and 101 b of the pillar trim 101 are simultaneously sandwiched by the opening trims 103 and 103 that cover the flange portion of the center pillar 102, and the pillar trim 101 is attached to the center pillar 102. It is of structure.

On the other hand, in the structure shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of projections 104, 104 are formed along the longitudinal direction on the mounting surface side of the pillar trim 101 to the center pillar 102, and the projections 104, 104 are made of a sheet metal clip. The structure is such that the pillar trim 101 is fixed to the holes 106, 106 formed on the side of the center pillar 102 via 105, 105, and the pillar trim 101 is attached to the center pillar 102.

In the figure, 107 is a quarter window glass, and 108 is a quarter window hinge for fixing the quarter window glass 107 to the center pillar 102.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, each of the above-described conventional pillar trim mounting structures has the following problems.

First, in the structure shown in FIG. 3, not only the flange portion of the center pillar 102 but also the edge of the pillar trim 101 must be sandwiched by the opening trim 103 at the same time, which makes mounting thereof difficult. Also, the wearing condition is not stable.

Further, in the structure of FIG. 4, since the use of the clip 105 increases the number of assembling steps and the number of parts, the projection 104 on the pillar trim 101 side where the clip 105 is mounted and the The accuracy of the forming position of the hole 106 on the side of the center pillar 102 into which the clip 105 is inserted is required, and the mounting structure does not allow a slight deviation.

The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the above-described conventional technology.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention forms a plurality of quarter window hinges for fixing a quarter window glass to a center pillar with engaging portions of a pillar trim attached to the center pillar, and further, the quarter window of the center pillar. Plural piert rim locking holes are drilled along the longitudinal direction near the side wall on the opposite side to which the hinge is attached, and the engagement provided on the quart wind hinge on the mounting surface side of the pillar trim to the center pillar. Engaging protrusions corresponding to the parts, and engaging claws corresponding to the engaging holes formed in the center pillar, and the engaging protrusions of the pillar trim are attached to the engaging parts of the quarter wind hinge, Attach the pillar trim to the center pillar by engaging the locking tabs of the pillar trim with the locking holes of the center pillar. It was constructed in.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Here, FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an automobile adopting the mounting structure of a pillar trim according to the present invention, and an exploded perspective view showing a mounting structure of a quarter window of the automobile. FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a portion taken along the line AA of FIG.

In the figure, 1 is a body, and 2 is a quarter window glass mounted on the rear side surface of the body 1. The quarter window glass 2 is fixed to the body 1 side by quarter window hinges 3, 3 and 4 at the upper, lower and front portions of the front and rear central portions thereof.

The body 1 side to which the quarter window hinges 3, 3 are fixed is a center pillar 4, and the center pillar 4 has an inner panel 4a and an outer panel 4b on both edges thereof as shown in FIG. The flange portion provided is welded and connected.

The quarter window hinges 3, 3 are fixed to one side wall of the inner panel 4 a that constitutes the center pillar 4 by bolts and nuts 5, 6, and the ends of the quarter window hinge 3 on the side fixed to the inner panel 4 a. A key-shaped engaging portion 7 is formed at the edge as shown in FIG.

In the vicinity of the side wall of the inner panel 4a of the center pillar 4 opposite to the side where the quarter wind hinge 3 is fixed, two locking holes 8 are formed along the longitudinal direction. .

On the other hand, on the mounting surface side of the pillar trim 10 mounted on the vehicle inner side of the center pillar 4, engaging projections 11 and 11 are provided at positions corresponding to the engaging portions 7 provided on the quarter window hinges 3. Locking claws 12, 12 are provided at positions corresponding to the locking holes 8 formed in the center pillar 4, respectively.

When the pillar trim 10 having the above-described structure is attached to the center pillar 4, the quarter window hinges 3 are bolted to the center pillar 4 and provided on the quarter window hinges 3. The engagement protrusions 11 and 11 of the pillar trim 10 are engaged with the engagement portions 7 and 7, and the pillar trim 10 is pressed against the inner panel 4a of the center pillar 4 with the engagement portion as the center of rotation, and the inner panel 4 This is done by inserting and engaging the locking claws 12, 12 of the pillar trim 10 into the locking holes 8, 8 formed in a.

Since the pillar trim mounting structure according to the present invention is mounted by the structure and operation described above, it is not difficult to mount the opening trims 13, 13 as in the conventional case, and Mounting on one side wall of the pillar trim 10 is performed by using the hinge 3 that fixes the quarter window glass 2. Therefore, the number of mounting man-hours and the number of parts are not increased, and it is economically advantageous and easy to install. It will be good.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and changes can be made based on the technical idea of the present invention. is there.

For example, in the above embodiment, two mounting portions 11, 11 and 12, 12 are formed in the vicinity of both side walls of the pillar trim 10 along the longitudinal direction, but the number is not limited to this. In addition, the formation position thereof can be changed.

[0022]

[Effect of the device]

 According to the mounting structure of the pillar trim according to the present invention, it is not difficult to mount the opening trim that covers the flange portion of the center pillar, and the mounting of the side wall of the pillar rim uses the quarter-window fixing hinge. Since this is performed, it is possible to provide a mounting structure that is economically advantageous and has good mounting workability without increasing the number of parts.
