Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a door trim mounted on a door inner panel of a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to a door trim having an opening for mounting a work or a part such as an ashtray.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a door trim, which is an interior component, is attached to a door inner panel of a vehicle to improve the beauty of the interior of the vehicle. The door trim is attached to the door inner panel with screws or bosses. The door trim is provided with an opening for a worker of a vehicle manufacturer to attach door parts and the like, or an opening for a passenger of a vehicle to attach parts such as an ashtray. If the opening formed in the door trim is for mounting work by a vehicle manufacturer, the worker inserts fastening parts such as bolts from this opening and performs work through a work tool such as a box wrench. Later, by covering the opening with a lid, the appearance is improved and the workability at the time of repair is improved. On the other hand, if the opening is for the occupant to attach a part such as an ashtray, the ashtray can be easily cleaned by detachably attaching a part such as an ashtray to the opening.

[0003]

However, since the door trim is attached to the door inner panel at an interval, a worker mistakenly attaches a mounting bolt or the like to the door trim and the door inner panel while working from the opening. In the event that the door trim is dropped in between, or if the occupant accidentally drops cigarette butts, etc., between the door trim and the door inner panel when removing a part such as an ashtray from the opening, Unless it is removed from the door inner panel, the bolts or cigarette butts, etc., cannot be removed from between the door inner panel and the operation is relatively troublesome. On the other hand, when the door trim is integrally formed of resin, there is a disadvantage that the amount of bending near the opening when the door trim is attached to the door inner panel is relatively large. An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle door trim that can prevent small articles or the like from falling between a door trim and a door inner panel through an opening. Another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle door trim capable of improving rigidity near an opening.

[0004]

The invention according to claim 1 is
As shown in FIG. 1, the door trim 17 has an opening 17a and is attached to the door inner panel 16 at intervals. The characteristic configuration thereof is such that a rib 23 for closing the gap is formed on the door trim 17 near the lower edge of the opening or the lower edge toward the door inner panel 16, and the rib 23 is formed on the opening 17a.
It has a lower surface portion 23a having a longer width and a side surface portion 23b continuously formed on one side edge or both side edges of the lower surface portion 23a so as to face upward. The ribs 23 formed on the door trim 17 are used to insert mounting bolts or the like which are dropped by the worker when the worker inserts the mounting bolts or the like through the opening 17a. 1
When the ashtray or the like is removed from 7a, a cigarette butt or the like dropped by mistake is received. The side surface portion 23b formed on one side edge or both side edges of the lower surface portion 23a is provided with a door trim 1 in which the received mounting bolts or butts are further lower than the lower surface portion 23a.
In addition to preventing the door trim 17 from dropping between the door inner panel 16 and the door trim 17, the rigidity of the door trim 17 near the opening 17a is improved.

[0005]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 2, a cab 11 of a truck, which is a vehicle, has a driver's seat 1 on which a driver sits.
2 is provided, and a door waist bar 14 is provided on a waist line 13 a of a window hole of the door 13 on the side of the driver's seat 12. The door waist bar 14 in this embodiment is made by bending a steel pipe into a substantially U-shape, and both end edges of the door waist bar 14 are crushed and processed into a substantially flat plate shape (FIG. 1). In addition, mounting holes (not shown) for mounting the door waist bar 14 are formed at both ends of the door waist bar 14 processed into a flat plate shape.

As shown in FIG. 1, a door trim 17 is attached to a door inner panel 16 of the door 13 at a predetermined interval. A nut 18 for attaching the door waist bar 14 is welded to the door inner panel 16, and a work opening 17 a for attaching the door waist bar 14 to the door inner panel 16 is provided on the door trim 17 facing the nut 18. It is formed. The weather strip 19 for window glass is provided on the upper edge of the door inner panel 16.

The door waist bar 14 is attached to the door inner panel 16 after the door trim 17 is attached to the door inner panel 16. The end of the door waist bar 14 is inserted from the gap at the upper part between the door trim 17 and the door inner panel 16, and the mounting hole formed at the end of the door waist bar 14 faces the nut 18 welded to the door inner panel 16. Let it. In this state, the worker inserts the mounting bolt 21 into the mounting hole from the opening 17a of the door trim 17, and screwes the mounting bolt 21 to the nut 18 with a work tool 22 indicated by a dashed line such as a box wrench. After screwing the mounting bolt 21 to the nut 18, the work tool 22 is pulled out, and the opening 17a is covered with the lid 17b.

The door trim 17 is made by molding resin, and the door trim 1 near the lower edge of the opening 17a is formed.
A rib 23 for closing the space between the door trim 17 and the door inner panel 16 is formed integrally with the door inner panel 16 toward the door inner panel 16. The rib 23 has a lower surface portion 23a and a side surface portion 23b.
And the lower surface portion 23a is formed with a width longer than the opening portion 17a. The side surface portion 23b is formed continuously on both side edges of the lower surface portion 23a so as to face upward, and the lower surface portion 23a and the side surface portion 23b are formed to have a length at which respective leading edges abut the door inner panel 16.

In the vehicle door trim configured as described above, when the worker inserts the mounting bolt 21 into the mounting hole through the opening 17a or when the worker screws the nut 18 into the nut 18, the mounting is mistaken. Even if the bolts 21 are dropped between the door trim 17 and the door inner panel 16, the mounting bolts 21 are attached to the door trim 17 and the door inner panel 1.
6 is received by the ribs 23 that close the gap between the door trim 6 and the worker can easily collect the mounting bolts 21 by picking the mounting bolts 21 out of the opening 17a of the door trim 17 with his / her fingers, and can easily collect the mounting bolts 21. The work of attaching the door waist bar 14 to the door inner panel 16 by the bolt 21 can be restarted at an early stage.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention. The same reference numerals as those in the above-described embodiment denote the same parts, and a description thereof will not be repeated. An ashtray 28 is provided above the door trim 27 in the present embodiment. The ashtray 28 includes a tray 28a and a lid 28b, and the lid 28b is pivotally supported by the tray 28a so as to be openable and closable. A plate spring 29 for urging the lid 28b is attached to the tray 28a, and the lid 28b opens the tray 28a by the urging force of the plate spring 29;
Or, it is configured to be maintained in a closed state.

An opening 27a for detachably attaching an ashtray 28 is formed in the door trim 27, and a mounting portion 27b provided with a leaf spring (not shown) for attaching the ashtray 28 to the opening 27a is provided at an upper edge of the opening 27a. Is formed. The attachment portion 27b is attached to the door inner panel 16 with a rivet 31, and the door trim 27 is attached to the door inner panel 16 with an interval at which an ashtray 28 can be inserted. The ashtray 28 is attached to the door trim 27 by being inserted into the opening 27a from above, and the ashtray 28 is detachably attached to the door trim 27 by being pulled up.

The door trim 27 is made by molding resin, and the door trim 27 near the lower edge of the opening 27a is formed.
A rib 33 for closing the gap between the door trim 27 and the door inner panel 16 is formed integrally with the door inner panel 16 toward the door inner panel 16. The rib 33 has a lower surface portion 33a and a side surface portion 33b.
, And the lower surface portion 33a is formed with a width longer than the opening 27a. The side surface portion 33b is formed continuously on both side edges of the lower surface portion 33a so as to face upward, and the lower surface portion 33a and the side surface portion 33b are formed such that the respective leading edges are located near the door inner panel 16.

[0013] The vehicle door trim 2 thus configured.
In 7, the occupant pulls the ashtray 28 upward from the opening 27a and removes the ashtray 28, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the ashtray 28. Also, when the ashtray 28 is removed from the opening 27a, if a cigarette butt or the like is mistakenly dropped between the door trim 27 and the door inner panel 16, the cigarette butt or the like is removed by the door trim 27 and the door inner panel 16 or the like. The occupant picks up the butts and the like from the opening 27a of the door trim 27 with his / her finger, or sucks the butts with a suction device (not shown) such as a vacuum cleaner. And the cleaning operation can be performed easily and reliably.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, a rib for closing the gap is formed at the lower edge of the opening or at the door trim near the lower edge toward the door inner panel, and the rib has a longer width than the opening. Since the lower surface and the lower surface have one side edge or one side edge formed continuously on the both sides so as to face upward, the gap between the door trim and the door inner panel is incorrect through the opening. The rib catches the dropped mounting bolt or cigarette butts. As a result, it is possible to prevent small articles and the like from falling into the door trim and the door inner panel through the opening. In addition, since one side edge or both side edges of the lower surface portion is formed with a continuous side surface portion facing upward, the side portion is provided with a received mounting bolt or butts between the door trim and the door inner panel further below the lower surface portion. And the rigidity near the opening of the door trim can be improved.
