Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an interior structure of a vehicle body of an automobile, and more particularly to a member having an improved interior trim structure of a pillar portion.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The structure of an interior trim of a pillar portion of a vehicle body is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-28784 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-87099. FIG.
Shows an example of a conventional pillar trim structure. In the pillar trim member 50, for example, the lower second trim member 1 has an opening 3 through which the seat belt passes, and the upper edge 1a is provided at the end of the upper first trim member 5. Align and fit the flange. Further, it has a structure in which the lower edge portion 1b is fitted and attached to the member 7 on the floor side.

[0003]

In the above-described structure, when the pillar trim member 1 is mounted on the vehicle body side, the upper edge and the lower edge are effective for adjusting the step in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the mating member. However, there is no means to regulate the front-back and vertical alignment, and if the mounting position accuracy is low, steps and the like appear,
There were problems such as deterioration of the appearance.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a pillar trim member that solves the above-mentioned problems.

[0005]

According to the present invention, a pillar trim member for interior of a pillar of a vehicle body of a vehicle has a first trim member and a second trim member, and a joint end portion of the first trim member. And an insertion hole that opens in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the first trim member provided in the second trim member, and protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the second trim member provided in the joint end of the second trim member. The first trim member is formed integrally with the second trim member by inserting the second trim member into the insertion hole of the first trim member.

[0006] Also, an insertion having a first trim member and a second trim member, the opening being opened in a direction parallel to the surface of the first trim member provided at the joint end of the first trim member. A hole, a locking piece protruding in a direction parallel to a surface of the second trim member provided at a joint end of the second trim member, and a second hole provided in the insertion hole of the first trim member.
Can be integrally formed by inserting the locking piece of the trim member.

[0007]

1 and 2 are explanatory views showing the basic structure of a pillar trim member according to the present invention. A pillar trim member, generally designated 100, includes a first trim member 110 and a second trim member 150, both trim members 110 and 150 being faced by mating ends 120 and 160 having respective opposed flanges. Joined by joining. The trim member 100, which has been surface-matched, has its fasteners 170 and the like set near the mating portion of the two members, and the position thereof is regulated toward the pillar 10 to be attached.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a structural view of a member, and FIG. 5 is a sectional view of a main part.
A pillar trim member, generally designated by the reference numeral 100a, has a first trim member 110 and a second trim member 150, and a joint end 120 of the first trim member 110 and a joint end 160 of the second trim member 150. And integrated.

[0009] The first trim member 110 has an insertion hole 122 at a joint end 120 thereof, which is opened in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the trim member 110. Then, the second trim member 150 is attached to the joint end 160 by the trim member 15.
It has a locking piece 162 projecting in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the zero. The locking piece 162 has a locking portion 162a having a tapered end.

The two trim members 110 and 150 are joined by inserting the locking piece 162 of the second trim member 150 into the insertion hole 122 of the first trim member 110. Then, the second trim member 150 is fixed to the pillar side by the fastener 170 attached to the attachment portion 152 on the back surface.

At this time, the insertion hole 122 and the locking piece 16
Since a gap exists between the pillar trim member 2 and the pillar trim member 100a, the dimensional tolerance between the pillar trim member 100a and the mating member can be absorbed.

FIG. 6 is a sectional view showing another embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 7 is a structural view of a member, and FIG. 8 is a sectional view of a main part.
The pillar trim member, generally designated by the reference numeral 100b, has a first trim member 110 and a second trim member 150, and the structure integrally joined by the joints 120 and 160 of the members is the same as that of the above-described embodiment. The same is true.

The joining end 120 of the first trim member 110
Has an insertion hole 124 that opens in a direction parallel to the surface of the first trim member 110. Second trim member 15
The zero joint end 160 has a locking piece 164 that projects in a direction parallel to the surface of the second trim member 150. The tip of the locking piece 164 is formed in a tapered surface.
4a is formed.

The two trim members 110 and 150 are integrated by inserting the locking piece 164 of the second trim member 150 into the insertion hole 124 of the first trim member 110. Then, the second trim member 150 is fixed to the pillar side by a fastener 170 attached to the attachment portion 152 on the back surface. At this time, since there is a gap between the insertion hole 124 and the locking piece 164, the dimensional tolerance between the pillar trim member 100b and the mating member can be absorbed.

[0015]

As described above, the pillar trim member mounting structure of the present invention has a structure in which the pillar trim member is formed by fitting two members, so that the positioning of the pillar trim member with respect to the mating member is regulated in an optimal state. Thus, a trim with a high aesthetic appearance can be formed. Also, for fixing to the pillar side, there is no need to provide fasteners up and down, the structure is simplified, and manufacturing, assembly and cost can be reduced.
