Description

Fastening element for fastening a gap seal to a body part of an automotive vehicle The invention concerns a fastening element for fastening a gap seal to a body part of an automotive vehicle. Further, the invention concerns a gap seal and an automotive vehicle.
Gap seals are used for sealing a gap between components fixed or movable to each other. In automotive vehicles gap seals, for example, are used for sealing the gap between the vehicle door and the A-pillar and/or the B-pillar. Thus, an improved sound insulation can be achieved so that the increased requirements concerning the interior noise complied with more easily.
The gap seals are usually attached to the vehicle door by means of fastening elements. For this, an assembly station is often used at which the vehicle door is pre-mounted to a carrier frame. After mounting the vehicle door to the carrier frame the gap seal is positioned to the vehicle door and then the fastening elements are attached to the gab seal for fixing it to the vehicle door.
It has been shown that the existing method for assembling gap seals to a vehicle door or another component of an automotive vehicle is complex und therefore it takes a long time.
Consequently, the object of the invention is to provide possibilities by means of which possibilities the assembling of gap seals is enabled in a simple and fast way.
This object is accomplished according to the present invention by means of a fastening element having the features of Claim 1. Further, this object is accomplished according to the present invention by means of a gap seal having the features of Claim 10. Furthermore, the object is accomplished by means of a pre-assembled unit having the features of Claim 14 and a motor vehicle having the features of Claim 15.
Advantageous embodiments of the invention shall result from the sub-claims,
the description below, and the Figures.
A fastening element according to the invention for fastening a gap seal to a body part of an automotive vehicle has a shaft which can be introduced into a passage opening of the gap seal and has a head following at a longitudinal end of the shaft. The head is configured to be used as stop against the gap seal when the shaft is introduced into the passage opening.
According to the invention, the shaft has a shaft section which is movable through the passage opening of the gap seal and which is effective as abutment against the gap seal when the shaft section is moved through the passage opening.
This measure allows the assembling of gap seals to body parts of an automotive vehicle in a simple and fast way, because a separate mounting of the fastening element or fastening elements as part of mounting the gap seal to the body part. e.g. a vehicle door, is no longer necessary. This results from the fact that the fastening element can be held to the gap seal under securing against loss so that pre-assembling of fastening element or fastening elements and gap seal is possible. Because of securing the fastening element against loss, further the assembling of the gap seal to the body part is simplified and facilitated. Overall, it results time advantages during the assembling of gap seals to body parts of an automotive vehicle.
According to one embodiment of the invention it is provided that the cross-section of the shaft section is changeable so that the cross-section is transferring between a first dimension, especially initial dimension, and a second dimension, wherein the cross-section in the first dimension overtops, at least in part, the * passage opening of the gap seal and thus configures the abutment, and the cross-section in the second dimension is configured to pass through the passage opening.
Thereby the shaft section is realized in a simple constructive way to be brought from its state in which the shaft section is movable through the passage opening of the -3-gap seal, to its state in which the shaft section is effective as abutment against the gap seal.
Preferably, the shaft section tapers itself in the cross-section towards their introducing end facing the passage opening. By this means an insertion aid is realized so that introducing the fastening element into the passage opening of the cap seal is relieved.
According to one embodiment of the invention it is provided that the shaft section is configured as clip or comprises a clip or at least one clip.Thereby the function of the shaft section can be realized in a constructive easy way.
According to a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the shaft section has a base body and a spring elastic-section or at least one spring-elastic section arranged thereto and, viewed in the cross-section of the shaft section, said spring-elastic section is directed away from the base body in their initial position and thus is effective as the abutment, and is movable towards the base body under forming a restoring force for introducing into the passage opening of the gap seal.
Thereby the shaft section is realized in a simple constructive way to be brought from its state in which the shaft section is movable through the passage opening of the gap seal, to its state in which the shaft section is effective as abutment against the gap seal. Also, by means of the spring-elastic characteristic of the section it is ensured that said section moves back to its initial position automatically.
Preferably, the state in which the shaft section is effective as abutment against the gap seal is configured by the initial position of the spring-elastic section.
Preferably, the spring elastic-section or the at least one spring-elastic section is adapted directly to the base body, particularly spring elastic-section and base body are formed in one piece.
According to one further embodiment of the invention it is provided that at least two spring-elastic sections are provided, which are respectively disposed on the base body and each one is directed away from the base body in its initial position and is movable towards the base body under forming a restoring force.
Thereby a robust stable connection of fastening element and gap seal is realized so that securing the fastening element against loss is especially effective. Further, the fastening of the gap seal against the body part of the automotive vehicle is especially robust.
Preferably, the spring-elastic sections are disposed on the base body so that said spring-elastic sections are moved towards the base body under forming a restoring farce when the shaft section is contacting with a contact surface or contact edge and the fastening element is rotating around its longitudinal axis. By this measure the spring-elastic sections are both impinged by the contact surface or contact edge during rotating of the fastening element so that both sections are deforming, each under generating a restoring force. Preferably both sections are configured to move inwards when the fastening element is rotating and the contact surface or contact edge is in contact.
According to one embodiment of the invention it is provided that the head of the fastening element has a spring-elastic material section, preferably arched or flap curved section, or is configured thereof, said material section is direct or indirect supporting against the boundary of the passage opening of the gap seal under forming a preload force when the shaft is introduced into the passage opening.
Thereby, the fastening element can be attached to the gap seal without clearance (backlash-free) in the insertion direction with respect to the passage opening of the gap seal and/or an associated passage opening of the body part Preferably, the head is configured in a multi-edged shape, particularly in a square or reetangular shape, regarding the cross-section of the fastening element.
According to a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the head has a contact surface or contact edge which is essentially arranged crosswise to the extension direction of the shaft section. Thereby the fastening element is held against the gap seal in a stabile and robust way when the fastening element is in contact position against the contact surface or contact edge. Thus, it is prevented that the fastening element is falling out of the passage opening because the shaft section of the fastening element is effective as abutment against the gap seal in said contact position of the fastening element.
The invention also comprises a gap seal for connecting to a fastening element of the type described above or at least one fastening element of the type described above. The gap seal has a passage opening or at least one passage opening into which the shaft of the fastening element can be introduced.
According to one embodiment of the invention it is provided that the passage opening is configured as slot. Thereby a fastening element of the type described above introduced into the passage opening, can be moved along the longitudinal side of the passage opening within certain limits. This allows the compensation of tolerances of the components to be connected together.
According to a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the gap seal has an outward directed protrusion which is configured to be used as stop for a contact surface or contact edge of the head of the fastening element in order to secure the fastening element with respect to gap seal against rotating when said fastening element is mounted to the gap seal. The protrusion preferably comprises an essentially straight side which is configured to be used a stop for the contact surface or the contact edge.
Preferably, the passage opening is configured as slot and the protrusion is arranged on the boundary of the passage opening extending to its longitudinal direction. In this way a robust stabile twist-lock of the fastening element toward the gap seal is realized.
In addition, the invention comprises a preassembled unit having a gap seal of the type described above and at least one fastening element of the type described above mounted on it.
Furthermore, the invention comprises a motor vehicle having a body part comprising at least one passage opening on which a preassembled unit of the type described above is mounted by bringing the fastening element in fastening position against the body part.
