DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a spoiler mounted on a roof front edge portion or a roof rear edge portion of an automobile, and a structure for holding the spoiler.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A spoiler is mounted on an upper surface of a vehicle body (body) as a kind of vehicle exterior parts (equipment mounted on the outer surface of the vehicle body). Since such a spoiler is exposed outside the vehicle body, it receives considerable wind pressure during traveling. Also, the vibration transmitted from the vehicle body is at a level that cannot be ignored. For this reason, it is necessary to hold the spoiler firmly at the predetermined mounting site by some kind of fixing means so that the spoiler does not separate from or scatter from the predetermined mounting site during traveling. For example, the rear spoiler attached to the rear end of the trunk of a general sedan type car,
Utilizing a clearance between the trunk opening / closing door and a vehicle body, the vehicle is firmly fixed to the upper surface of the door by an appropriate fixing tool.

A spoiler is mounted on a front edge portion (including an upper edge of a front window or a portion adjacent thereto) or a rear edge portion (including an upper edge of a rear window or a portion adjacent thereto) of a roof of an automobile. However, there are no appropriate gaps or catches. For this reason, when attaching a spoiler to such a part, conventionally, it is common to provide a predetermined mounting hole by drilling or the like on the vehicle body (panel) side and bolt the spoiler using the mounting hole. Met. For example, JP-A-6-1223
No. 84 describes a spoiler holding structure in which a mounting hole (bolt through hole) and a welding nut are provided in advance in a predetermined portion of a vehicle body roof portion, and a roof spoiler is bolted thereto. According to such bolting means, the roof spoiler can be held at a predetermined position even when a considerable wind pressure or vibration is applied during traveling. Alternatively, the spoiler is attached to the upper surface of the vehicle body (roof) by an adhesive means such as a double-sided tape, instead of the bolting means for performing the drilling or the like. According to this bonding means, the spoiler can be mounted at a predetermined position very easily.

[0004]

However, according to the above-described means for providing the mounting hole and bolting the mounting hole, the mounting hole is formed in advance in the vehicle body roof on the vehicle body mounting surface side. Therefore, it is necessary to separately perform a complicated drilling process. In addition, if the position of the hole is deviated from the originally intended correct position due to a mistake during the drilling process, not only is the spoiler of the predetermined shape not installed, but also the adverse effect on the vehicle body itself due to that In order to avoid such troubles, it is necessary to perform extra repair processing such as closing such unnecessary holes.
Such a drilling process and an additional repairing process are not preferable because they complicate the spoiler mounting operation and can cause a cost increase. On the other hand, according to the simple bonding means such as the double-sided tape, it is not possible to say that there is no possibility that the spoiler is peeled off from the mounting portion due to excessive wind pressure, vibration or deterioration of the adhesive due to long-term use. Therefore, when the spoiler is mounted by such an adhesive means, it is necessary to separately provide a fixing means capable of solving a potential problem with holding the spoiler.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems relating to the mounting and holding of the spoiler, and a purpose thereof is to perform a special processing for holding the spoiler on the vehicle body itself. An object of the present invention is to provide a means capable of holding a spoiler at a front edge portion or a rear edge portion of a roof of a vehicle without a separate application, and a spoiler holding structure (structure) obtained by such means.

It is sufficient that the spoiler having the above-described configuration is substantially composed of the spoiler having the above configuration and other body exterior parts fixed in the vicinity of the spoiler. The other body exterior parts have specific uses, shapes and materials. It is not limited to. For example, when the spoiler holding structure of the present invention is formed on a general passenger car, as other suitable body exterior parts, other than a roof molding, a roof antenna, a roof rail, or a target spoiler (the one according to the present invention) is preferable. Other spoilers and the like can be mentioned.

Further, the spoiler according to the present invention for constructing the spoiler holding structure of the present invention is not limited to a specific shape. Decorative articles generally traded under the name of a spoiler as accessories for automobiles (including so-called sedans, hatchbacks, wagons, RVs, etc.) can be included in the spoiler referred to in this specification. The spoiler (main body) of the present invention is generally made of ABS resin, AES resin, PC /
It is a plastic product molded from a synthetic resin material having excellent weather resistance such as AES alloy.

A mounting portion having a shape that can be fixed to a mounting portion together with a part of the vehicle exterior component (such as an antenna) is preferable. Alternatively, when the “other body exterior product” according to the present invention is of a type that is fitted and fixed in a predetermined mounting portion (recess) of the vehicle body outer surface, such as a roof molding, the vehicle body exterior product is located at that position. A mounting portion having a shape capable of sandwiching a part of (a molding or the like) is preferable. Or body exterior parts (malls, etc.)
(For example, a shape that can be fixedly connected to each other by winding or tightening it around one member constituting the exterior body of the vehicle body). Such an attachment portion may be configured by one member made of metal or synthetic resin, or may be a combination of two or more members. In that case, one of the two or more members is fixedly connected to the main body. That is, one component member constituting the mounting portion is connected to the main body portion, and another component member is fixedly connected to a part of the other vehicle exterior component. Then, by attaching these components to each other in a predetermined shape, the attachment portion according to the present invention can be configured. Further, the means for fixedly connecting the mounting portion to the spoiler main body is not particularly limited. An attachment member having a predetermined shape may be attached to a preformed body by a fastening means such as a screw. Alternatively, a spoiler in which a part of the mounting part is embedded in a part of the main body is integrally manufactured by setting a mounting member of a desired shape as an insert in a mold in advance and performing injection molding (insert molding). Is also good.

The spoiler and its holding structure according to the present invention in the form described above are provided on the upper surface of the vehicle body other than the front edge portion or the rear edge portion of the roof (for example, the lower edge portion of the rear window of a sedan type passenger car or the like). The present invention can also be applied to a spoiler mounted on a door part of a trunk and a holding structure thereof (for example, a rear spoiler holding structure).

[0017]

The spoiler 20 is provided with a mounting portion according to the present invention as a spoiler holding (fixing) means capable of solving the above-mentioned potential problems associated with the mounting with the double-sided tapes 25a, 25b, 26a, 26b. Are formed. Hereinafter, this will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing each component constituting the mounting portion according to the present embodiment. 5 to 7 are cross-sectional views showing a procedure for constructing the holding structure of the spoiler 20 by the mounting portion according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the mounting portion of the spoiler 20 includes a first mounting member 30, a second mounting member 35 and a third mounting member 40 made of metal, and a connection clip 45 made of synthetic resin.
Hereinafter, the structure of these constituent members and the mutual relationship of each member will be described.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG.
On both short side ends of each of the above, engagement recesses 24A and 24B of a predetermined size are respectively formed at positions near the roof molding 10 when the spoiler 20 is arranged. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, these engagement recesses 24A, 24B
The first mounting member 30 is embedded at the bottom of the first mounting member. The first mounting member 30 is inserted at the time of blow molding of the main body 21 and is formed integrally with the main body 21. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, the first mounting member 30 is buried in the main body 21 in parallel with the first plate 31, a part of which is exposed on the bottom surfaces of the engaging recesses 24A, 24B. The first engagement hole 31a and the second engagement hole 32a having different diameters from each other are formed in the dual structure with the second plate 32 that is arranged in the vertical direction. The diameter of the first engagement hole 31a is determined by a connecting clip 4 described later.
5 is formed to be slightly smaller than the maximum diameter of the tapered portion 48, and the diameter of the second engagement hole 32a is formed to be slightly smaller than the diameter of the shaft portion 47 of the connecting clip 45. . An engagement hole 22a is also formed in a portion of the main body 21 corresponding to the second engagement hole 32a (FIG. 7). The functions of these plates and the engagement holes will be described later.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG.
The fifth and third attachment members 40 are members that are coupled to the roof molding 10. That is, as shown in the figure, the second and third mounting members 35 and 40 can be connected to the vehicle exterior parts by sandwiching a part of the roof molding 10 which is fitted into the predetermined recess 9 from above and below. It is a member. As shown in FIG. 4, the second mounting member 35 is a member formed by bending a single metal plate 36 into a predetermined shape.
0 is pressed from above the vehicle body. That is, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the plate 36 constituting the second mounting member 35 has a connecting hole 36a which overlaps with the first engagement hole 31a when the plate 36 is disposed at a predetermined position.
Are formed. The diameter of the connection hole 36a is formed to be slightly smaller than the maximum diameter of the tapered portion 48 of the connection clip 45 described later. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, a part of the plate 36 has a contact portion 3 which abuts on the top of the roof molding 10 when placed at a predetermined position.
7 are formed. A hook-shaped engaging piece 38 is formed at the end near the contact portion 37. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a fitting portion 42 is formed on the plate 41 constituting the third mounting member 40. The fitting portion 42 is for fitting a connection clip 45 described later at a position corresponding to the first engagement hole 31a and the connection hole 36a when the fitting portion 42 is arranged at a predetermined position. Therefore, a gap 42b into which the head 46 of the connecting clip 45 can be fitted from the lateral direction and a cutout 42c into which the shaft portion 47 of the connecting clip 45 can be inserted at that time are formed (FIGS. 4 and 5). A packing 42a is attached to the back surface of the fitting portion 42 (that is, the surface that contacts the vehicle body roof portion 1). Also, as shown in FIG.
6, a mounting portion 4 which is disposed between the roof molding 10 and the vehicle body roof portion 1 in the recess 9 when placed at a predetermined position and has a shape capable of mounting the trunk 10 b of the roof molding 10.
3 are formed. An engagement groove 44 is formed at an end near the contact portion 37 so as to be able to engage with the engagement piece 38 of the second mounting member 35.

Next, the three mounting members 30, 35, 40
The connecting clip 45 which is a member for connecting. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG.
A flat head 46 fitted into the gap 42 b of the fitting portion 42, a shaft 47 extending vertically from one surface of the head, and a taper 48 formed at the tip of the shaft 47. It is composed of The maximum diameter of the tapered portion 48 is formed slightly larger than the diameter of the shaft portion 47.
Also, the tapered portion 48 (here, the resin grip 45
Is composed of a relatively soft resin material,
When a strong pressure is applied from the outside, the diameter can be slightly reduced. As a result, as described later, the tapered portion 48 can be strongly pushed into the hole having a diameter slightly smaller than the maximum diameter of the tapered portion 48 and allowed to pass therethrough.
It should be noted that it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that the tapered portion 48 that has passed through the small-diameter hole cannot pass through the hole in the opposite direction (that is, exit) in the normal state. .

Hereinafter, the assembling of the mounting portion of the present embodiment constituted by the above-mentioned respective constituent members will be described. First, FIG.
As shown in the figure, the third mounting member 40 and the connecting clip 45 are arranged on the vehicle body roof 1 corresponding to the predetermined mounting position of the spoiler 20. That is, as shown in the drawing, the third mounting member 40 is arranged such that the mounting portion 43 is accommodated in the recess 9. On the other hand, the head portion 46 of the connecting clip 45 is fitted into the fitting portion 42 such that the tapered portion 48 projects above the vehicle body roof portion 1. After arranging the third attachment member 40 and the connecting clip 45 at predetermined positions near the concave portion 9 in this manner, the roof molding 10 is fitted into the concave portion 9 as shown in FIG. At this time,
The trunk 10b of the roof molding 10 is placed on the upper surface of the placing part 43, that is, a part of the third mounting member 40 (the placing part 43) is sandwiched between the roof molding 10 and the vehicle body roof part 1. The roof molding 10 is mounted on the recess 9.

Next, the second mounting member 35 is mounted on the upper surface. That is, as shown in FIG.
The engagement pieces 38 of the second mounting member 35 are inserted into the 0 engagement grooves 44 to bring these two members into an engaged state. And the contact part 37
Presses the tapered portion 48 of the connecting clip 45 into the connecting hole 36a in a state where the tapered portion hits the crown portion 10a of the roof molding 10 and slightly presses the crown portion 10a, so that the tapered portion 48 penetrates. Thus, as shown in FIG. 7, the connection between the second mounting member 35 and the third mounting member 40 is realized.
At this time, the repulsion from the crown 10a of the roof molding 10 exerts a force to push the second mounting member 35 upward. As is apparent from FIG. 7, the tapered portion 48 penetrating through the connection hole 36a is formed. The part with the largest diameter becomes a barrier,
In a normal state, the second attachment member 35 does not come off from the connection clip 45. This can prevent the connection state between the second mounting member 35 and the third mounting member 40 from being inadvertently released, and by sandwiching the roof molding 10 in such a manner, 35 and 40 are fixed to the roof molding 10 at that position.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8, which is a cross-sectional view taken along the line VIII-VIII in FIG. 1, the main body 20 is disposed at a predetermined mounting position, and the connecting clip is inserted into the first engaging hole 31a of the first mounting member 30. The 45 tapered portion 48 is pressed to penetrate the tapered portion 48. At this time, the progress of the tapered portion 48 penetrating through the first engagement hole 31a in the direction of the engagement hole 22a is restricted by the diameter of the second engagement hole 32a. As a result, the tapered portion 48 (and the shaft 47) is not inserted deeply (FIG. 8). On the other hand, the tapered portion 48 that has once passed through the first engagement hole 31a does not fall out of the first engagement hole 31a in a normal state because the portion with the maximum diameter serves as a barrier.
Thus, a fixed connection between the first mounting member 30 and the second and third mounting members 35 and 40 at a desired position (state) is realized.

As described above, the three mounting members 30,
The spoiler 20 can be held at a predetermined mounting position by the mounting portion composed of the connecting clips 35 and 40 and the connecting clip 45. That is, a fixed connection is made between the roof molding 10 and the mounting portion as described above, and a fixed connection is also made between the mounting portion and the main body portion 21. Further, the reason is that the roof molding 10 itself is mounted in a state where it is fixed in the concave portion 9. Less than,
Such a holding structure will be described in relation to the mounting structure of the roof molding 10. 9 and 10 are a sectional view taken along line IX-IX and a sectional view taken along line XX in FIG. 1, respectively.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, inside the concave portion 9, molding holders 12 are provided at appropriate intervals along the longitudinal direction (typically four to six).
Pieces). Thus, as shown in FIG.
When installing the trunk 10b into the recess 9, the trunk 10b of the roof molding 10 is fitted into the fitting groove 12a provided in the molding holder 12 and both fit (typically, as shown in the figure, the trunk 10b of the trunk 10b). A part (the mounting part 10c) and a part of the molding holder 12 are fitted.) Thus, the roof molding can be fixed (tied) at the mounting portion (recess 9). And, as shown in FIG.
In the present embodiment, the connecting portion between the second and third mounting members 35 and 45 and the roof molding 10 is sandwiched between the two molding holders 12 (that is, the roof molding 10 and the molding (The position where the fitting portion with the holder 12 is located). As a result of the roof molding 10 being mounted in a state fixed to the recess 9 in this manner, the spoiler 20 connected to a part of the molding 10 via a mounting portion is also held at the mounting position. It will be. As described above, according to the spoiler 20 and the holding structure according to the present embodiment, it is necessary to separately perform special processing (for example, drilling which has been conventionally performed) on the vehicle body roof 1 itself in order to hold the spoiler 20. There is no. Therefore, according to the spoiler holding structure of the present embodiment, the spoiler can be held so as not to move from a predetermined position by using the mounting part of the roof molding without complicating the spoiler mounting operation.

Next, as a second embodiment, a spoiler holding structure in which a roof antenna is constructed as another vehicle exterior component according to the present invention will be described.
