Description

Holding Device for a Passenger Vehicle as well as Holding Arrangement with such Holding Device The invention relates to a holding device for a passenger vehicle as well as a holding arrangement with such holding device.
From the series production of passenger vehicles it is known to line structural components of the passenger vehicle, in particular in footwells, by means of interior carpets. Such interior carpets are robust and allow for the representation of a pleasant sense of space within the interior of the passenger vehicle.
Further, it is welr known to employ so-called stowage nets in interiors of passenger vehicles. Such stowage nets serve for the simple and fast stowing of objects so that the objects cannot move about uncontrolled within the interior whilst driving.
It therefore is the task of the present invention to provide a holding device for a passenger vehicle as well as a holding arrangement comprising such holding device, which facilitate a particularly simple holding of an interior carpet and a stowage net.
This task is solved by a holding device having the features of patent claim 1 as well as by a holding arrangement having the features of patent claim 5. Advantageous embodiments with expedient and non-trivial further developments of the invention are indicated in the remaining claims.
The holding device according to the invention serves for holding an interior carpet to a structural component of a passenger vehicle and comprises a first holding element. The first holding element has a first attachment part and a second attachment part and is capable of being attached to the structural component by means of the first attachment * part. The holding device further comprises a second holding element, which has a third attachment part and a fourth attachment part. By way of connecting the third attachment part with the second attachment part of the first holding element the second holding * element is capable of being attached to the first holding element. The fourth attachment part of the second holding element in this connection serves for holding a stowage net.
The interior carpet therein is to be held on the structural component by means of the *00 interconnected holding elements. * S
By means of the holding device of the stowage net on the fourth attachment part the stowage net is attached to the first holding element and via same equally to the structural component.
The hoJding device thus has a double function, as it serves for holding the interior carpet on the structural component, on the one hand, and also serves for holding the stowage net on the structural component. The holding device in this setup ensures a particularly stable holding both of the interior carpet and of the stowage net. If for instance objects are arranged in the stowage net, with forces being applied to the stowage net, these forces can be introduced via the holding elements into the structural component. The interior carpet in this connection does not need to absorb any of these forces or only a very small part of them. Thereby it can be avoided that the interior carpet detaches from the structural component when arranging objects in the stowage net. Further, it can be avoided that the stowage net detaches from the interior carpet. The holding device thus allows for realizing a very high value impression.
Further advantages, features and details of the invention can be gathered from the following description of preferred embodiments and from the drawing. The features and feature combinations previously mentioned En the description as well as the features and feature combinations named in the following in the description of the figures and/or shown in the figures alone can be used not only in the respective indicated combination, but also in other combinations or taken alone, without leaving the scope of the present invention.
The drawing shows in: Fig. 1 part of a schematic perspective view of an interior of a passenger vehicle in a footwell area, in which an interior carpet and a stowage net are held on a structural component of the passenger vehicle by means of a holding device comprising at least two holding elements; * . Fig. 2 a schemabc perspective view of a holding device; Fig. 3 a schematic longitudinal sectional view; * * p Fig. 4 a schematic perspective view of a further embodiment of the holding device; Fig. 5 a schematic and perspective longitudinal sectional view of the holding device according to Fig. 4; and Fig. 6 a schematic longitudinal sectional view of the holding device according to Figs. 4 and 5, by means of which the interior carpet and the stowage net are held on the structural component.
In the figures same elements and elements having the same functions are equipped with same reference signs.
Fig. 1 shows in a schematic perspective view a holding arrangement 10 of an interior carpet 12 and a stowage net 14 on a structural component 16 of a structure of a passenger vehicle, the structural component 16 being partially discernible from Fig. 3.
The interior carpet 12 in this setup is arranged in a footwell 16 of the passenger vehicle and serves for at least partial lining of the structural component 16 towards the interior space of the passenger vehicle. The structural component 16, which can be discerned from Fig. 3, in the present case is a lateral wall of a centre tunnel of a vehicle floor. In Fig. 1 part of a centre console 20 can also be discerned.
The stowage net 14 comprises an for instance elastic lope element 22 as well as a net-like surface element 24, which is compJetely surrounded by a rope element 22 in its circumferential direction and connected with same. The stowage net 14, which is elastic in the present case, serves for stowage of the objects so that they are kept from moving about uncontrolled within the interior space.
For holding both the interior carpet 12 as well as the stowage net 14 on the structural part 16, in Fig. I partially discernible holding devices 26 are provided. The holding devices 26 in this connection ensure a firm hold both of the interior carpet 12 and also of the stowage net 14 on the structural component 16. In Ftg. 1 an application of force upon the stowage *:" net 14 is illustrated by force arrow F. This application of force for instance occurs if the stowage net 14 is elastically pulled away from the structural component 16 so that a gap forms between the stowage net 14 and the interior carpet 12, whereby the objects between the interior carpet 12 and the stowage net 14 can be arranged whilst being held * . S *S 0 by the stowage net 14, accordingly. The holding device 26 in this connection ensures that the stowage net 14 neither detaches from the interior carpet 12 nor from the structural component 16 and that the interior carpet 12 does not come off the structural component 16, either.
Figs. 2 and 3 in this connection show one of the holding devices 26 in a first embodiment.
The holding device 26 comprises a first holding element 28 as well as a second holding element 30. The first holding eJement 28 has -as can be seen particularly well in a combined view with Fig. 3 -a first attachment part 32 and a second attachment part 34.
By means of the first attachment part 32 the first holding element 28 is attached to the structural component 16. For this purpose the attachment part 32 comprises snap-in elements in the form of snap-in Jugs 36 and receptacles 38. In order to attach the first holding element 28 to the structural component 16, it is plugged into a receptacle aperture 42 of the structural component 16 configured in the present case as through opening in an insertion direction insinuated by a direction arrow 40. Thereby the structural component 16 is received within the receptacles 38, and the snap-in lugs 36 engage behind walls of the structural component 16 bounding the receptacle aperture 42. Upon inserting the first holding element 28 into the receptacle aperture 42 the snap-in lugs 36 are elastically compressed, If the structural component 16 is at least partially received within the receptacles 38, the snap-in Jugs 36 spring back and engage behind the walls.
Thereby the first holding element 28 is fixed along the insertion direction on the structural component 16.
The second holding element 30 has a third attachment part 44 and a fourth attachment part 46. As can be seen from Fig. 3 the second holding element 30 is attached by way of connecting the third attachment part 44 with the second attachment part 34 to the first holding element 28 and moreover to the structural component 16. The second attachment part 34 has a receptacle 48 for the third attachment part 44 as well as snap-in elements in the form of the walls bounding the receptacle 48. * . . * a
* * The third attachment part 44 has snap-in elements in the form of snap-in rugs 52. The second holding element 30 is connected to the first holding element 28 in such a way that * the third attachment part 44 is inserted into the receptacle 48 in the insertion direction. In this process the snap-in Jugs 52 are elastically compressed. The snap-in lugs 52 then engage behind the snap-in elements 5Oso that the second holding elements 30 is fixed along the plug-in direction on the first holding element 28. * S
Thus, both the first holding element 28 can be fastened on the structural component 16, whilst forming a snap-in connection, and also the second holding element 3Q can be fixed to the first holding element 28, whilst forming a snap-in connection.
The interior carpet 12 now is held by means of the interconnected holding elements 28, on the structural component 16. For this purpose the third attachment part 44 is pushed through a through opening 54 of the interior carpet 12 so that the interior carpet 12 is held on the second holding element 30. By way of attaching, i.e. connecting the second holding element 30 to or with the first holding element 26 then the interior carpet 12 is held via the first holding element 28 on the structural component 16, wherein the interior carpet 12 partially and relative to the plug-in direction (direction arrow 40) is arranged between the holding element 28, 30 and for instance tucked or clamped in between them.
For holding the stowage net 14 the fourth attachment part 46 has a receptacle 56, in which the rope element 22 is arranged. The receptacle 56 is bounded at least partially by a snap-in lug 58 of the holding element 30. When arranging the rope element 22 within the receptacle 56, the snap-in lug 58 is elastically bent and uncovers the receptacle 56. If the rope element 22 then is arranged within the receptacle 56, the snap-in lug 58 elastically springs back and at least partially blocks the receptacle 56 to the rope element 22.
From Fig. 3 it can be seen particularly well that during application of forces illustrated by the force arrow F forces are transferred from the stowage net 14 to the second holding element 30, by which the fortes are introduced into the first holding element 28 and by same into the structural component 16. The holding device 26 thus guarantees a particularly stable holding of the stowage net 14 and the interior carpet 12 so that the stowage net 14 does not detach from the interior carpet 12 and the interior carpet 12 does not detach from the centre console 20. Figs. 4 to 6 illustrate a second embodiment Cm.* * . .1 * * of the holding device 26. The holding device 26 according to Figs. 4 to 6 differs from the

The holding device 28 thus is also particularry easy to mount, since the first holding element 28 can be inserted in a particularfy simple way into the receptacle aperture 42 and since the second holding element 30 can also be inserted conveniently into the second receptacle 48.
The mounting of the interior carpet 12 and of the stowage net 14 is performed as follows: To start with, the stowage net 14 is attached via the respective holding element 30 to the interior carpet 12. Further, the respective holding element 28 of the holding device 26 is fastened to the structural component 16. Subsequently1 the respective holding element 30 is fixed to the corresponding holding element 28 by way of inserting it into the respective second receptacle 48.
In the second embodiment too, the holding element 30 is attached to the holding element 28, thus realizing a snap-in connection. For this purpose the second attachment element 34 with the receptacle 48 comprises walls 59 bounding the receptacle 48 as snap-in elements, whilst the third attachment part 44 in the present case has a waIl 60, which at least essentially has the shape of a circular cylinder, as corresponding snap-in element of the holding element 28 Upon insertion of the holding element 28 into the receptacle 48 the walls 59 are elastically bent apart, wherein the walls 59 subsequently elastically bounce back and engage behind the wall 60.
The third attachment part 44 has an adjacent wall 60 and an at least essentially disk-shaped wall 62, which engages behind the walls 59 along the first plug-in direction.
Thereby the holding element 30 is also fixed along the first plug-in direction on the holding element 2B. 0 -* * . o *
